Anglers and crew fishing in the Pacific off Costa Rica on Tuesday were astonished to discover that a large marlin they hooked was completely white.
The extremely rare catch of an albino blue marlin was made aboard the Spanish Fly, a 43-foot yacht that runs from Maverick Sportfishing out of Los Suenos. (It could be that the marlin was leucistic, with reduced pigmentation, and not a true albino lacking all pigmentation. But just about everyone is referring to the billfish as true or partial albino.)
The boat was captained by Juan Carlos Fallas Zamora, with mates Carlos Pollo Espinoza Jimenez and Roberto Chelato Salinas Hernandez. The clients were Bob and Karen Weaver, veteran anglers from New York. Karen reeled the marlin in after an hour-long fight, and the crew carefully released the billfish.
The boat’s regular captain, Daniel Espinoza, stated on Facebook that he chose the wrong day to take a day off. He posted the accompanying photos on his page, though, saying the group “had an amazing day and confusión. Caught one Blue Marlin alvino, first time I hear of one. Congratulations on that great job.”

Re: Albino Marlin
Did the blue Marlins kick the white one out of the meeting?

Re: Albino Marlin
They were excluded by the non-whites at the divers city meeting

Re: Albino Marlin
That's not a fair comparison...
With that record, they should all have been excluded...(Or perhaps executed...If they had been playing for The Moscow Invaders, the head coach at least would have met an unfortunate and untimely accident...)
(On the other hand, if you're say, The Cleveland Indians, you can have season records like that for decades without fear of death; they've proven that...
