The Blue Marlin of Bermuda
Bermuda is a top global destination for Atlantic Blue Marlin fishing, with peak activity in the summer months. Known for producing massive fish exceeding 1,000 lbs / 454 kg, the area is famous for the Bermuda Triple Crown tournament. Anglers catch and release numerous Blue Marlin, often weighting in over 500 lbs.
The Blue Marlin is distinct in its cobalt blue back, silver/white bellies, and long sharp bills making up around a quarter of its massive total body length.
Among the fastest fish in the ocean, the apex predator can reach speeds of 68 mph / 110 km/h, its torpedo shaped body built to hunt.
This Blue Marlin was carved from a 2024 Bermuda $5 Dollar banknote, its belly reworked with pieces from around the world.
