Marlin are one of the most prized and sought after game fish in the world. Costa Rica is fortunate enough to have three different types of Marlin roaming its Pacific coast. One unique thing about Costa Rica is that Marlin can be taken any month of the year.

Fishing Pacific Blue Marlin: the most frequent of the Marlins taken here, three to five hundred pounders are frequently landed. Costa Rica has yet to see a grander, although several fish over 900 lbs have been taken and fish over 1000 lbs have been hooked and lost.

Fishing Black Marlin: also taken in the same waters. Several fish over 700 lbs. have been recorded and it has been reported that much larger fish have been hooked up.

Fishing Striped Marlin: the fish that those lucky enough to have taken grand slams in this country are looking for. These brilliant fighters average around 150 to 200 lbs.
