Here’s a popular photo I showcased a while back and have
wanted to show again. It’s by writer, educator, and photographer Jon Schwartz, whose work appears here.
In 2010, Jon was covering a billfishing tournament
in Hawaii. He wasn’t there to compete, but a line trawled from the press boat
hooked this 550-pound monster. If they could bring it alongside the boat, the crew meant to tag and release it. In a long
battle, the blue marlin rammed the boat and then went under it. A crewman
managed to bring it nearly to the surface, but the hook broke and it escaped.
(Jon is currently giving away a couple of his amazing photos on
Facebook.)
