That was epic action bro. I've been blessed to catch two blue Marlin . One Puerto Vallarta 450 an last December got one 100 in Cabo San Lucas.That one u had one was 100 no doubt. I call that a damn catch ! Those fish run away always an when you get them to the boat they go straight down . That's their fight. Big one I caught an landed was a 1 1/2 hrs with no belt just rod an a chair . It tried to kick my ass but I won . Don't wanna battle one that big again unless I have a belt with clips on the real like a kidney belt . Anyways God bless ya an thanks again for a awesome video!!!! No shame man. Respect from Readyville Tn..
Well that's why we go fishing, experiance of a lifetime ( until you hook another one ) you did really well on that fish, especially on a spinning reel, odds were always massively against you with a 40lb leader and even more so ( as you said) when the fish went deep. But you have the memory forever and those amazing jumps on film. Tight lines Regards Gary
lol, that's what marlins do. They make you smile and moments later break your heart. I grew up on the Treasure Coast. Your videos bring back a lot of fond memories. Thanks for the great content.
No reason to be upset brother!! That was incredible!! Especially that u saw him, pitched a bait, watched the eat, and were able to stay glued with 2 other lines out and all by yourself!! That’s the definition of skills!! What a video!! Congrats on your first black fin my man!
Holy moly! That was awesome! The marlin jumps were insane. Kudos to you for putting it to it and somehow not breaking your rod there. Thanks as always for sharing, you’re my favorite fishing channel by far. God bless you and your family!
Brother you did everything right, especially the ONE LAST DROP!!!! That is why we always have to cast one more time!!! What an incredible fight, those jumps were insane!!! I've watched many many many of your videos for years now and this is one of the better bites for sure
That was an epic fight, Rich. Kudos to all you did but he had you on the ropes at the motor. What a heartbreaker! Speaking for all the “northies” watching out here, keep up the great content. Thanks!
Rich, that was epic. Working that fish while reeling in all your other lines and driving the boat....pro skills bromigo. Congrats! Stay free, tight lines!
That was a great one, Rich ! Your multi tasking filming, boating, & fishing, and getting better at it. I envy and admire your skills. Your living the dream, thanks for sharing !
Rich seems we have a lot in common: am a big fan of the Avet aluminum reels- also getting things set up too before! you're bouncing around on the water. Ps- You do so much more than the guys with 3 motors with your small boat, so refreshing these days.😊
Talk about a perfect ad for how strong and quality that rod is! Awesome day out that didn't end the way you would like, but fueled that Fire for another fight
OMG....That was the most jam packed video ,Black finn AJ and a Marlin Battle By Yourself out all day and you still did a cook and eat...Dude EPIC,,next time call me I'm just down the street in Jup...Thanks for Sharing this and all your adventures ,,,
Cool stuff Rich!!! You really should start to bridle those Runners with clear rubber bands, better for the bait and hook can never turn back into the bait. Smart play always having livebait offshore!!! You are absolutely getting shots and making the most of them by having livies
Rich, I have watched all your videos and sometimes you use the word "epic" kind of loosely. BUT this was truly EPIC. I was literally on the edge of my seat hoping you at least touch the leader. Wish you had an heavier setup on deck instead of using an inshore setup. Great content and keep up the good work!
You gave em Hell Rich no shame in the Marlin loss ;) what a ride :) Exciting , blood pumpin fishing and fond memories for life. You’ll be back and will score one day with another Marlin. Keep at it ! Epic stuff from you a young man and the sea 🙌🙌🙌
Respect...you handled about 10 things all happening at the same time when an opportunity for a tremendous fish arrived. You definitely got the best out of that fish! Great job, great video. Now you have had a brush with a Marlin. I can't wait to see you go on quest to pull another.
I tried my best. If I threw the b runner out on the 50 wide squall with 80lb mono I think I would have had a shot to bring it boat side. But maybe it wouldn’t have eaten the bait. If I get another shot like this I’ll try it and see what happens. Thanks for watching and tight lines!!!
That was absolutely epic. Just moved to the west coast of Florida in Clearwater and got my boat here now. I grew up in south NJ visiting the east coast of Florida, pompano ft Lauderdale, Deerfield beach and shots at Marlin like that or sails make the east coast where I wanna be. Hopefully gona get this gulf fishing dialed in here now that the boat is here. Awesome video!! Come to Clearwater Rich!!! Jump on my boat and nail some snook and tarpon.
Great video and some awesome fishing! Really enjoyed watching. The meal looked absolutely delicious! Thanks again for sharing and taking us out on the water. Keep it up! As always, #FishAholicFishing rocks!!!
What a wild ride that fish sent you on!! Man, you had a smile on my face when that thing started jumping and you got so excited be cause it was a marlin. I feel bad you didn't get to land her but at least she gave you a memory or a life time!! 🤙
Lol, in case ya ain't heard the old sayin...sometimes ya eat the bear, sometimes the bear eats you!!!lol! Was a pleasure experiencing that totally epic fight with that fish!!
Awesome marlin hookup and battle. Have had a white marlin on 30lb spinning gear in the NJ canyons. Tough to boat a fish on gear like that. Well fought! Still an epic story!
Awesome video Rich as always. Even though I live in CT but still like the adventures you share. Hopefully you will come back up to the north east coast and do some more videos. 👍🏻👊🏻💥🤘🏻🔥🎣💯

That was like the old man and the sea. One man in the middle of the ocean, in a boat, fighting a marlin 👍
😂 oh god... but yes, so true!
Старика звали Диего если я не ошибаюсь)
You never disappoint rich, such a genuine man and fisherman!
Rich, Epic battle with that Marlin. I am amazed that you fought him on that light tackle for as long as you did. Magnificent!
Glad you enjoyed!!! I was surprised as well!!!

Glad you enjoyed! Yeah it would have been nice though to have an extra set of hands haha.
One of the best episodes yet, didn’t get the Marlin, but the battle and the amount of multitasking that went on throughout was amazing, well Done 👍
That was a great one, Rich ! Your multi tasking filming, boating, & fishing, and getting better at it. I envy and admire your skills. Your living the dream, thanks for sharing !
Hearing that drag scream is epic bro! Some really powerful runs...KILLER video Rich.

Fantastic hook up with the marlin and the black fin tuna. Great video as always, thanks for sharing!
Best bf tuna, aj, marlin, and mango salsa episode ever! Loved it! Thanks!
Great stuff...love your reactions when he surfaces for the first time!
That is the most epic fishing video I've ever seen! That Marlin was crazy?
Great Video Rich - that was an epic fight that had me on the edge of my seat. I like the offshore fishing that you do.
Glad to hear!!! I’ll get the next one!!
Cool stuff Rich!!! You really should start to bridle those Runners with clear rubber bands, better for the bait and hook can never turn back into the bait. Smart play always having livebait offshore!!! You are absolutely getting shots and making the most of them by having livies
Wow Rich! Truly epic; I just realized this video was longer than most, but it went by in a flash. Oh man, what a show!
Great show my friend. It doesn't matter if you got the Marlins to the boat or not you got to see all those jumps which is the best part
Epic episode of multi-tasking. What an adrenaline rush! That's what keeps us coming back.
Rich, I have watched all your videos and sometimes you use the word "epic" kind of loosely. BUT this was truly EPIC. I was literally on the edge of my seat hoping you at least touch the leader. Wish you had an heavier setup on deck instead of using an inshore setup. Great content and keep up the good work!
Dude you fish as hard as anyone I have ever seen..and you fought that fish hard. Just one of those things
I enjoyed the Jeremy Wade moment. Fish of a lifetime.
Epic battle! I had to watch it twice! Driving the boat, juggling three rods and still almost landed the fish!
Good to see you having fun again, love your videos
Thanks for another awesome video!
Love how prepared you were when that marlin came by.
Hahaha a little more prepared I would have had a circle hook on the heavier rod.
i definitely learn something new in every one of your vids
Great video Rich... It's like we're right there with you! The Marlin catch was epic. Nice job. Keep the videos coming.
Bro i am living vicariously through your channel. You have a great energy and keep it fun. Stay true
brother.
Fantastic video work / editing as well.

💔Epic battle!!! Absolutely stunning the way you handled that battle, a true professional :). Really amazing vid Rich.
I tried my best. If I threw the b runner out on the 50 wide squall with 80lb mono I think I would have had a shot to bring it boat side. But maybe it wouldn’t have eaten the bait. If I get another shot like this I’ll try it and see what happens. Thanks for watching and tight lines!!!
Rich, I've watched nearly all of your videos, and this one is the best!
Dude!!! Even though you got beat, that might have been your best video ever. Master class fish fighting!!!
This was such an awesome video!! That marlin sight fishing was crazyy!! ❤🤌🏻 Loved the soundtrack too
Let’s go!!

Great video rich. You worried me without the engine kill lanyard on but the fight on that marlin was epic.

Awesome marlin hookup and battle. Have had a white marlin on 30lb spinning gear in the NJ canyons. Tough to boat a fish on gear like that. Well fought! Still an epic story!
That was AMAZING! Thanks for the thrill!
Enjoyed the filet and cook at the end of the video! You should implement this more at the end of your videos, very knowledgeable!
Insane video! Such an unexpected bite, but that's why we go fishing. You just never know! Keep up the great content
Dangerous and exciting chasing down a marlin solo on the bay boat. Great video
Been there. Out of Sebastian and hooked a white marlin. His first jump spit the hook but my wife and I watched it spit the hook we both about cried.
😅😅😅dude that was epic. Good advertisement for the Rob to. Lol I just received mine and very happy with the way it looks and feels
That Double-Up was NIIICE! Tight Lines, Mang💪🏿💯👊🏿I was hoping for that Grouper😂
What a great video! Thanks Rich!

Great vid, awesome we got to witness the marlin!
Always my favorite fishing channel. Thanks for another epic episode!
Thanks so much!!! Glad to hear I can keep you coming back for more! I hope you’re catch some nice fish this summer!
Awesome video Rich as always. Even though I live in CT but still like the adventures you share. Hopefully you will come back up to the north east coast and do some more videos. 👍🏻👊🏻💥🤘🏻🔥🎣💯
Amazing video, definitely going to need that salsa video
That looks exhausting, and even though you didn't land it, you caught it. And still kept your rod in one piece.
Good battle brother. 👍
Thanks again.
epic action on the marlin, well done for keeping it on that long with light gear,very skillfull on your own!
That’s the same reaction I had when my first ever Marlin broke me off. That says it all.
Rich, great content as always. Luckily, you were not too far out when steering went. Love the catch and cook!!
