A fishing trip off the coast of Mexico turned into a pretty memorable outing for OutKast rapper Big Boi, who hauled in a massive 200-pound striped marlin after a 50-minute battle.

The Grammy-winning rapper, whose real name is Antwan André Patton, shared footage on Saturday from the deep-sea fishing excursion near Cabo San Lucas. In the video, the enormous fish launches itself out of the water as the crew works to bring it alongside the boat.

And judging by the footage, this fish wasn't going down without a fight.

"Catch of the day 'Striped Marlin' 8 feet 200LBS … took me 50 minutes to get him in the boat #DeepSeaFishing," the rapper wrote.

Not exactly your average afternoon on the water.

A second video shows the 51-year-old Atlanta native posing beside his catch at the marina, where the enormous billfish was hanging by its tail.

And this one's getting a permanent place in Big Boi's collection.

The rapper said he plans to have the marlin mounted and shipped back to Atlanta. He also indicated that the fish's meat would be donated to help feed several families, meaning the catch will provide more than just impressive wall decor.

The reported weight is an estimate, as Big Boi mentioned an issue with the scale at the dock.

Striped marlin are among the most sought-after game fish in the waters around Cabo San Lucas. Known for their speed and spectacular aerial displays, they're capable of giving even experienced anglers a serious workout.

Big Boi is no stranger to fishing, either. He has previously shared catches of grouper, snapper and triggerfish on social media.
