San Diego Blue Marlin

This is a Pacific Blue Marlin weighed in at the Marlin Club at 662.2 #, 23 Sept 2015. This is a rare catch for this waters, they are generally found in warmer waters, but we have warm 74 to 78 degree water now and they are here because they are chasing their favorite food, which is dorado, and tuna.

It is the largest Pacific Blue marlin weighed in San Diego dating back in The Marlin Club records to 1931.

The fish was hooked at 8:15 am on 23 Sept, 9 miles west of Point Loma. The tackle was 100# test line and a lure.
