Unlike its Blue or Striped siblings, this creature features a unique shape, with non-retractable fins and disproportionately small dorsals. Its dark coloring and rigid scales make it impossible to ignore.

Its sporting quality profile, however, proves truly impressive, branding the Black Marlin one of the most difficult fish to catch in Los Suenos.

Strength

The Black Marlin is one of the most powerful fish in the Pacific. Its massive body, which can exceed 1,000 pounds, destroys even large-grade tackle.

Speed

The Black Marlin can sustain speeds of up to 80 miles per hour. It is often considered to be the fastest fish on the planet.

Movements

The Black Marlin performs fewer aerial tricks than others in its class. It relies more on pure strength, snapping lines with a series of tugs and pulls.

Sport fishing is never easy. Trying to catch a Black Marlin, however, can prove almost impossible if anglers are unprepared. Have top-shelf tackle and utilize live bait. Let Los Suenos charter crews provide the necessary support, using trolling or dead-skipping techniques to improve casting chances. Be prepared for a lengthy fight as well. Some fish may take over an hour to bring on-board.
