We’re gonna need a bigger boat. A massive 505-lb blue marlin was reeled in at the Edisto Invitational Billfish Tournament last week at Edisto Beach.
The fish measures 117.25 inches + was caught on the “Glazed” boat at this annual event. We want to fry it up for dinner — for the next year and a half.
