Working around the docks here at Kewalo Basin in Honolulu has some exciting things that come along with it. I get to meet lots of people from all over the world and see the most amazing fish that the sport fishing boats bring in each day. Here's the most amazing I've seen. This blue marlin was brought in by the Maggie Joe this afternoon. It weighed in at 795 lbs!!! It was roughly 12 feet long. I've never seen anything like it in my whole life. For size reference, compare it to the Ford super duty pickup below. Amazing!
The customer fought this thing for an hour and a half to get it to the boat. The crew worked another half hour to man handle it up into the boat.
I think this thing qualifies for "sea monster" status...it's way beyond just a fish.
Lots of people, including myself, posed for a picture only wishing we'd been the one's sitting in the fighting chair reeling this monster in.

From your last post I'm not sure you REALLY wanted to be there reeling him in! But I know you would have loved to see it - reg
