    Question Marlin ID Help

    A bud of mine Chris fished the Norfolk on Friday and they caught this marlin. They ID'd it as a BIG WHITE, but I am not an expert. Is it possible this may be a Hatchet or a small Blue?

    The boat is a 28' Prosportscat and has a beam of over 9'



    Here are the pics:

    I would say it's a beauty of a white. Not a blue...
