Just saw this article and the pictures and video are incredible. He fought a 500# marlin for over 6 hours in a kayak. Guy must know what he is doing as last year he caught a 450# marlin. About 14 minutes into video you get to the good part where he touches the leader to make it official and then the marlin starts jumping out of the water. https://ftw.usatoday.com/2020/02/kayak-fisherman-towed-15-miles-by-record-marlin

Wow, just wow.
I like to think I could have stayed in the fight for 4+ hours, but I'm not sure that I could do it! His arms had to be toast!!!

That's a guy who is very experienced at fighting big fish from a kayak. Those swells are a lot bigger than than they look from the GoPro. I've been in swells that big and bigger in my kayak offshore. I couldn't imagine fighting a fish that size in those swells. Amazing skills!

What is the kayak/Marlin world record ? I don't believe there is anything official. kinda hard to measure a big marlin from a yak. But this is the unofficial world record.
