Fishing - Blue Marlin Strike and line break

Sport fishing in Algarve, Portugal on SladeNick for Marlin. Blue Marlin strike and on hook for about 3 minutes when video starts, close to 500m of line already taken. She ran like I've never seen a fish run, no jumps. The reel was literally smoking (seriously!!) from when you hear it go warp speed and line snapped on swivel head of lure. Super bummed but a privilege to feel the power of that fish!!! Skipper estimated upwards of 350kg (770 lb) fish! Technical Details: 130lb sufix fluerocarbon line Penn Big Game Senator Also spotted about 8 White Marlin, one took the lure, jumped and spat the hook - estimated at around 60kg. Filmed on GoPro Hero5 Big thanks to Skipper Marty and deckhand Sardo! ;-)
