400+lbs black marlin
Speared a couple of days ago by my brother while FREE DIVING off the coast of Tanga, Tanzania while fishing for tuna. It took him almost 4 hours to get into the boat unaided other than by the skipper to haul it in. Weight still unbknown as the scale at the yacht club maxed out at 330lbs. Looking for a larger scale to ge tthe weight.

Holy Sh@t!! Those Free Divers must have more testosterone than a LineBacker on Juice. Wonder if that has EVER been done before??

Apparently the World record black marlin with a spear gun is quite a bit larger (don't have the exact facts with me) and not sure if it was taken with an explosive head or not. My bro's marlin was just weighed now at 200Kg exact = 440lbs Eeker

Last year he speared this yellow fin tuna. 191.4 lbs!
