Million-Dollar Marlin, Stealth Fishing

Ned Wallace of Newport Beach reeled in more than $1 million in the 2011 Bisbee's tournament in Cabo San Lucas.

Cabo angler Luis Liera caught a 395-pound blue marlin aboard Wallace's Tiger Spirit, which netted the boat a whopping $1,162,842.50. Although the fish was second in size to a 409-pound blue marlin caught by the Bad Medicine, Tiger Spirit had entered more daily jackpots.

Bisbee’s is the world’s richest sportfishing tournament and this year's competition featured more than 100 teams and 529 anglers from around the world. In all, 122 billfish were caught, although only seven were brought in and weighed. Of the seven, three weighed less than 300 pounds. The billfish breakdown: 56 blue marlin, 52 striped marlin, 12 sailfish and two black marlin.
