Brazilian angler Evandro Luiz Coser set the all-tackle world record for white marlin with this 181-pound, 14-ounce fish he landed on December 8, 1979.

The huge white was caught while fishing aboard Magna off the coast of Vitória, Brazil.

Coser needed just under an hour to land the fish on 30-pound-class tackle after it ate a trolled dead bait.
