Speaking Of Giant Billfish

Here’s one for the crew of the Citation:

This black marlin was caught during the last week of November 2009 by – follow me here – the husband of the radiology director at Gisborne Hospital in New Zealand.  It weighed in at a whopping 1,058 pounds and would have been released had it not been D.O.A.  Apparently the stress of the fight blew out its heart.

More photos after the jump.

Thanks Beach Billy!
