Jarryd Craven fought for hours to bring a massive 434.5kg marlin to shore. By the time the fight was over, it was past midnight.
The Tauranga angler hooked the monster marlin about 5pm on Saturday, taking more than two hours to haul the fish to his boat and finally getting to the weigh station about midnight.
The phenomenal and rare feat is believed to be a new Tauranga Sport Fishing Club record and the biggest black marlin hooked at the club in nearly 60 years.
Craven said he was trolling live baits east of Motiti Island with his father and partner on Sunday when they saw a large marlin thrashing through the schools of fish just before 5pm.

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association issued a statement on Instagram Saturday evening, promising “transformational change” after coming under fire in recent weeks for a lack of diversity in the organization and for ethical issues surrounding the Golden Globes.
The Instagram post detailed that the organizations would be hiring an independent diversity and equity expert who will consult on membership policies. The Los Angeles Times recently reported that the organization had declined to hire a diversity consultant when the matter was raised after last year’s Black Lives Matter protests.
