The Harvester and angler Chris Kilgore battled an amazing Marlin on August 13.

Chris posted after the catch:

“So grateful that Captain Wilson got this video! It was a Black Marlin, the biggest, fastest Marlin species.”

“Harvester first mate Gerardo grabbed the leader (3 separate times) = legal release. We landed and released that big mama according to the rules and she’s still out there.”

“I’m sure she’s fine but I’m still sore. Biggest fish of my life, estimated at 500 lbs, at least 14 ft long. Fought her for 1 hr 20 minutes. Thanks to Wilson, Gerardo, and the whole crew at Fishing Nosara.”
