Molly Palmer, while competing in the recent Big Island Invitational Marlin Tournament off Kona, Hawaii, joined the exclusive “granders” club after landing a Pacific blue marlin weighing 1,022.5 pounds. It was by far the largest marlin of the tournament and would have earned Palmer an International Game Fish Assn. world record. But after four hours of reeling and gaining no line, she reluctantly agreed to let the crew assist in the catch, disqualifying her from the tournament and record consideration.
