Massachusetts anglers haul 1,260-pound Atlantic blue marlin, near world record

Two Massachusetts fishermen aboard the Castafari battled a 1,260-pound Atlantic blue marlin off Cape Cod for about three hours, initially mistaking it for a shark. The fish weighed 1,260 pounds on an IGFA-certified scale in Falmouth, likely a Massachusetts state record and among the largest Atlantic blue marlins caught off the East Coast, approaching the world record of 1,402 pounds. Scientists estimate the fish at 25–30 years old, and the meat will be shared among about a dozen people.

She started in Trieste on July 4 and ended in Monaco, facing extreme heat, sleeping fewer than 2.5 hours per night toward the end, and receiving emotional and logistical support from her husband and dog, with ice-slushed cooling helping her cope.

Web-Slinging and Ancient Epics Lead Record-Breaking Box Office Weekend

Spider-Man: Brand New Day and Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey powered the biggest collective box-office weekend in history, hauling roughly $430 million across all films. Brand New Day opened domestically with about $355 million (second-biggest opening ever) after a $72 million preview, while The Odyssey contributed $51 million in its third weekend and is approaching $911 million worldwide. Holdovers like Toy Story 5, Moana, and Minions & Monsters also boosted totals. Analysts suggest the milestone could edge past Avengers: Endgame’s all-time box-office record, signaling a blockbuster-heavy summer and a possible record-breaking year for cinema.
