    Pictures Of Big New Zealand Blue

    Well here are some courtesy pics of what will hopefully be the new NZ record Blue Marlin as posted on www.fishing.net.nz







    One seriously nice fish and some very very happy anglers down in New Zealand . This is also the 1st ever Marlin caught by the angler which is nothing short of inspirational. I bet there were a few sore heads this morning

    Caught on lure "Old Original Pakula Smoking Jo" re skirted from the reports coming in

    The fish will be mounted !
