Three pals on a fishing trip battled for 30 minutes to bring in a 97 stone Blue Marlin which is the second biggest ever caught in the Atlantic.

The South African trio, Ben Vorster, Gerhardt Vorster, and Michiel Ross spent six days fishing in the Cape Verdes islands and it was on the final day that they captured the sea monster.

They are pictured on an Instagram pic in the shadows of the huge 97 stone Blue Marlin which was 12 feet long.
