This report is in the South Coast Herald.
A huge black marlin was taken allegedly by an illegal tuna longliner when it grabbed a tuna that was already hooked and in turn hooked itself.
Estimated weight 650kg and age estimated at 100 years. The age is a stretch but nevertheless the report does highlight a conservation issue as this magnificent beast should be roaming free.
