This striped marlin image was taken off the Pacific coast of Baja Mexico. Annually, striped marlin congregate to feed on schools of sardines. "Jumping in the water around the bait ball put me right in the middle of 40 to 50 marlin and sea lions in a fantastic feeding frenzy!" See more of Marc's marlin images at www.marcmontocchio.com.
