Friends of mine fishing out of Toler’s Cove Marina on the Sportin’ Life caught this nice blue marlin the other day. Conservative estimate at over 400lbs. Found a nice video of the fish and wanted to share it on here. Enjoy!

Great footage!
Awesome video…whoever was on the controls was not too shabby either.
Awesome fish and footage! Question… In the video I noticed the amount of water over the deck when the Captain was backing down. Is that amount of water normal for a big sporty? Looked like the boat cleared all that water in no time.
Capt. R. Killin
21 Contender “Killin Time”
did it break off or pop
Love the video and nice fish!

Yea the captain of that boat is arguably the best captian from SC, he was in this past issue of Marlin Magazine… As for the boat, it’s 61 garlington arguably one of the best boats ever built. Yes water in the cockpit is normal, escpecially when a good size BM is on the small pole.

Personally, it depends on being in a tournament and no other choice.
Definetly wakes up the cockpit better than Skinny showing the love.

Captain yells at him to open the tuna door- this is normal when backing down.

DawnFishing, was this caught on Saturday the 16th?
We were fishing a little tournament out of Edisto and saw a boat hooked up to a big blue marlin near us about 80 mi out

“Open the door.”
“OPEN THE DOOR!”
That is a Captain that has been there before.
Great stuff.
