“The Man In The Black Suit”

The man in the black suit is found in tropical and subtropical areas of the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
With a maximum published length of 4.65 m (15.3 ft) and weight of 750 kg (1,650 lb), it is one of the largest of its species and also one of the largest bony fish.
This marlin is one of the fastest fish, with speeds of up to 129 km/h (80 mph) as estimated from the speed that hooked marlins are able to unwind fishing line.
Compared to striped, white marlin's and sailfish, black's are more solid than their blue counterparts. They have a shorter bill and a rounder and lower dorsal fin.
Black's may be distinguished from all other marlin species by their rigid pectoral fins, which, especially from a weight of around 150 lb (75 kg) or so, are unable to be pressed flat against their sides.
They tend to stay in warmer waters and hunt the surface. In addition to warmer waters, they also are found close to land masses as opposed to wide-open water.
Many people see marlin as the premier game fish for sport fisherman. Because of their size and physique, these species are popularly fished.
