Tom adds: We were trolling off the west coast of Costa Rica near a nice log in the water, when the left long went off. I dropped back the bait, and hooked up what I hoped was a sail. Well this fish took off like a freighttrain, and I was certain that I had a marlin on the line.10 to 15 seconds later this dolphin jumped and I could not believe that it had fought so strenuously. When we got it to the boat, we noticed the marks on both sides of the fish. On one side, there was a significant bite mark. The other side was a bit lighter. We can only guess that this was a bite mark of a marlin.
