A Hamilton teen has won $50,000 after catching a 203.7kg blue marlin in the Bay of Islands.

Dylan White was the youngest to enter the Caribbean Zane Grey International Game Fishing Tournament.

He was using a 37kg rod and reel when the fish struck.

Despite the rough conditions, he battled the fish singlehandedly - as he would be disqualified if anyone else touched the rod.

The money he won will be put aside until he's is older.
