Well, it is not exactly a little Marlin after all.  This beauty weighed in at 820 pounds.  It was 17 feet 4 inches long and 72 inches around.  Richard Esman and his 10 year old son had quite a day on the 20th of August.  We are wondering where they are going to hang this fish when it is mounted?  The STRIKE ONE and Captain Hector do it again.  Congratulations Richard, maybe you can send up a photo of the finished product.
