Big Black vs. Trigger 11-25-09

This extremely large Black Marlin was caught in 2000 feet of water off Flamingo Costa Rica. In November large Marlin can be caught because of the amount of bonito and Dorado in the area a favorite food for the large predator of the sea. This one came up on a lure turned teaser of mine the Evelio my first mate loves in our bag of tricks. It hit my shotgun bait on the center rigger on a naked ballyhoo. He weighed in at 486 lbs and was released unharmed to swim the beautiful waters off Flamingo/Carrillo Costa Rica again. Other Marlin like Blue Marlin and Striped Marlin can be caught this time of year as well as Yellow fin tuna, Sailfish, Rooster fish, and big snapper. Come on down and take a trip with us you will not forget it!!!!!!!!!
