Capt. Peter Hoogs and crewman Rob McGuckin put their skills to the ultimate test as their anglers, Ray Bayner and Paul Chiakas, tag-teamed on this huge marlin. The fight lasted 41/2 hours and the fish would have been a world record because they caught it while using 80-lb test line. In fact, it was 227 pounds larger than the world record at the time.
