White Marlin are one of the few billfish species confined to the Atlantic ocean. Its distinguishing characteristic is its rounded dorsal and anal fins, as opposed to the sharply pointed fins of related species.

The White Marlin commonly displays a more greenish coloration than any other marlin. White Marlin do not attain great size, averaging 50 - 60 pounds. They are an excellent light tackle challenge and are fairly abundant from Ocean City, Maryland to Montauk, NY in the summer months.
