Sorry Gotcha!!!!!!!!!!!!, I must have mistaken the weight of that black marlin for what they said was the higher end of the black marlin range in Panama. The show said the black marlin range in Panama from 200 to 600 lbs, but this fish was an exception to the average. It was 13 feet long and like nothing they usually see down there.
Here is an article putting it at 1,000 lbs. It was caught by Neil Patrick and Bill Shedd, but Neil Patrick was the angler originally hooked up to it.

So, maybe this time you didn't "get me." I find it almost hilarious that the only time you chime in on a thread is to "get somebody." Maybe I'll be able to return the favor at a later date, or do you do all your substantive posting under a different screen name?
