I caught a 232 Kilo black marlin off the Gordo Bank. That's a little over 500 pounds!!!! I wasn't on a panga, but it took me a long time as it died about two hours into the fight. I was using a older style penn international 20 at the time. I was not expecting that black marlin to hit. We were high speed trolling with pointed softheads for wahoo at the time on a 31 bertram.
I have a framed picture of that hanging on the wall. Never again will I be under powered with tackle on the Gordo Bank. Fighting a big fish like that on light tackle is not fun. It takes to long and the fish is either going to be eaten by sharks or die in the process.
