Circa 1955, Mrs. Charles Hughes appeared on the cover of the PENN Fishing Reels Catalog with her IGFA Women’s 60-kg (130 lb) Line Class Word Record black marlin. This fish weighed an incredible 691.73-kilograms (1,525-pounds) and was caught on April 22, 1954. She was fishing out of the famed Cabo Blanco, Peru, and landed this massive marlin after a 75-minute battle on a 14/0 Penn Senator.
