The white marlin is a middleweight

coasts.
White marlin are exciting to catch as they will jump repeatedly once they
are hooked.
Catching White Marlin
White marlin can be finicky at times and extremely aggressive at other
times. Once they decide they are going to eat a bait, there is no
stopping them. They will rush in with the mouth open ready to attack.
Trolling is the most popular method for catching these fish. You can
find them on temperature breaks near schools of bait fish. Balao,
mullet, squid and eel are all excellent natural baits. Artificials such as
plastic squid and trolling skirts will also fool a marlin to bite. White
marlin are beloved by most anglers so they release most fish
immediately.
