The Fastest Way to Win: Why Doubles Beat Quads for Marlin

When a one-square-mile bait ball turns alive with billfish, everything changes. In this episode, Mark sits down with Captain Tyler Dufresne of “Lights Out” to break down a once-in-a-lifetime white marlin bite: 47 releases across an overnight push, multiple quads, triples, and the counterintuitive call that won the clock—stop on doubles, land fast, reset quicker. We unpack how they read water, used satellite charts and sonar, recognized a tight biomass, and managed crew to keep hooks in fish without burning time. Plus: SFC strategy, Ocean City prep, and Tyler’s favorite bigeye-on-a-popper story.Keep up with Lights Out:   / tidetyler    / lightsout62  SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSBloody Battery: www.bloodybattery.comIf you have any requests, want to be a guest, or even just want to chat about fishing feel free to reach out to Mark via: [email protected] IN SOME MERCHwww.thescienceoffishing.com⁠/merchFOLLOW SCIENCE OF FISHINGInstagram:⁠ ⁠@scienceoffishing   / scienceoffishing  TikTok:⁠ ⁠@scienceoffishing   / scienceoffishing  Facebook:⁠ @scienceoffishing   / scienceoffishing  Twitter: @scienceoffish   / scienceoffish  #Marlin #OffshoreFishing #fishing
