Thanks! This was actually a friend of a friends 26ft boat and he lives in San Carlos. We got stuck out in the Sea of Cortez and stayed the night on the Baja Peninsula at Santa Rosalia. On the way back to SC we spotted this Striped Marlin and sight fished em'! It was absolutely insane! Took 45 mins to land but died at the boat so we kept him. He was just over 9ft so between 200-225lbs which is really big for a Striped, I just got very lucky! RR
