Why this one is here

The record names Palm Beach as the catch location, which is why it sits on this page rather than the state's. A record is what came over the rail once — it is not what to expect on a trip.

Sailfish and marlin can legally be kept, but only within strict rules: Sailfish must measure 63 inches, lower jaw to fork, and in federal waters the boat needs a federal HMS permit. Blue marlin must measure 99 inches and white marlin 66 inches, lower jaw to fork, and the boat needs a federal HMS permit. Seasons change, so check each fish page or ask the captain before you keep one.
