Marlin will often fight so hard that their hearts give out. It was after he registered the official ‘catch’ by touching the leader that he made the executive decision to transfer the rod to a boat so he could save the fish’s life. By that time the 500-pound fish had pulled him 15 MILES away from where he started. According to David Strege at For The Win, it was 4-hours-37-minutes into the fight before Fisk got his hand on the 15-foot leader and registered an official catch. This is a way to preserve the health of the fisheries. You don’t need to bring the billfish into the boat and string it up on the dock for it to count. In billfishing, a ‘catch’ counts when you get a hand on the leader. What’s wild is it came just one year after he landed a 450-pounder while fishing the same spot out in front of the Los Buzos Resort. Adam Fisk hooked into an estimated 500-pound Black Marlin which is now the ‘unofficial’ world record for the largest black marlin caught from a kayak.
