Texas fisherman win tournament with 737-pound catch

A team of fishermen made history in Port Aransas, catching a 737-pound blue marlin.

This happened during the 14th annual Texas Legends Billfish Tournament and is the heaviest blue marlin on record for the city, the organization shared on Facebook.

But it doesn't come close to the world record. Not by a long shot.

The catch falls short by 190.7 pounds from the all-time state record, which is the 927.7-pound blue marlin that was caught in 2014 at the Bastante John Uhr Memorial Billfish Tournament, according to a report from Game and Fish Magazine.
