Marlin in the Pacific Northwest?
This is just fucking weird. Marlin in Washington? I think the fuckers lying, he caught it in Baja then brought it up to get the state record.

Phil Wolff of Belfair caught a 134-pound striped marlin — and he wasn't fishing in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, where king-sized marlin are caught all the time.
Wolff caught his big fish about 40 miles off the Washington coast near Westport on Sept. 2. Wendy Beeghly, a state Fish and Wildlife coastal fish biologist, said she had only heard of one other marlin being caught off the Westport coast in the last 18 years.
Wolff was fishing with a tuna jig and said it took him 45 minutes to land the fish. He planned to submit the record-sized marlin to Fish and Wildlife.
