Young angler Stone Fornes reeled in a possible junior world record white marlin weighing 118.2 pounds off the coast of Nantucket. A local restaurant helped cook up the fish for dinner.
A 12-year-old boy from Weston, Massachusetts, reeled in a massive white marlin off the coast of Nantucket on Aug. 16. Stone Fornes caught the 118.2-pound fish, potentially breaking a junior world record, while fishing with angler Elliot Sudal. The current record for a white marlin is 102 pounds, which was caught off Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, in 2011, according to the International Game Fish Association.
Fornes told Fox News Digital that it was a tough 90-minute battle reeling in the fish. 'This marlin was an acrobat,' he said. Elliot Sudal, who has been a captain on Nantucket for 12 years, works with various shark research organizations. 'It’s wildly impressive that Stone was able to catch this fish … from spotting it to getting it to eat a bait, let alone fighting it for an hour and a half,' Sudal told Fox News Digital.
