Largest Black Marlin Ever Tagged with a Sat-Tag

Photo taken by Guy Harvey during an incredible experience with Neil Patrick’s estimated 1,300 pound Black Marlin caught on Zane Grey Reef. Guy swam down and attached a second line to the leader so the majestic fish could be tagged with a satellite tag, and was released unharmed.

The fish traveled nearly 1,200 miles in 60-days and returned to the same area which it was originally caught. An incredible feat by all involved, while becoming the largest Black Marlin ever tagged with a sat-tag.
