World Record Pacific Blue Marlin? It should have been This Pacific Blue Marlin may be the most well documented World Record for Marlin ever taken.  I was with Terry Maas and Paul Smith and between us we all have more than two dozen world records so there should be no excuse for not getting the record. Terry filmed it in HD perfectly, I landed it single handed, we weighed it on a good scale, yet due to a faulty application I was denied the...
