Hooked a white marlin for about 5 minutes down at Grand Cayman 20ish years ago on one of the worst days for just gross waves. It wasn't like "beat the crap out of you" waves but was just enough to get the boat going uuuuupppppp and then dooowwwwnnnnn and then uuuuupppppp and then dooowwwwnnnnn and then uuuuupppppp and then dooowwwwnnnnn.

Between that and the gas fumes, my head got spinning. Finally shook it off, the rod went off, had 2-3 good jumps and then it spit the hook.

Never have been for marlin or sails. If you want to catch sailfish to maybe break the ice, I'd go to southeast Florida in probably February when they're running the stream along the coast.
