we just love our mud marlin down here! 
got a tournament comming up and it loooks like some monsters could be pulled this year. all CPR (catch photograph release). tournament is CPR and have to have accurate measurement and picture to prove size.
heres some since the beginning of 2012
first one of the year was a solid 43"
and i got my buddy his first bat ever
37"
tried a shark spot a couple times and my baits were getting crushed, so i knew some bats were around, went back and got this guy
another 43
hooked up to the first big one of the year for me
50"
a 43 my buddy got, but as soon as we landed it my other rod took off so no glory shot
this bat had already stripped about 40yrds of line by the time i got there.
53"!
tryin for a pick up shot, but my arms were already sore from earlier that day and the 15 min fight on 40lb didnt help any
and then got 42. it stripped the gears in my STTLD50H (saltist lever drag 50)
retired that rod to the truck and got a hit on my other rod that had been sitting motionless all night
37"
