A Georgia couple celebrated a massive catch on their “bucket list” trip to Hawaii, photos show. The deep-sea anglers didn’t get a bite for the first three hours of their boat ride — then their luck took a turn. After the hit, Courtney Yonce said her husband, Thomas, took control behind the rod.

“It’s probably best he did, as this monster would have pulled me in,” the wife told McClatchy News in a Facebook message. “He fought him for 50 minutes before we had him at the boat.” Pictures from June 7 show the blue marlin on the other end of the line tipped the scales at 870 pounds and measured 14 feet from end to end. Their boat captain hadn’t had a catch that big in more than five years, Courtney Yonce wrote in an online post.
