Good Question. It is not that hard. May take a little time and some investment to get into this the most highly sought after fishing style.
Step by step suggestions...
1. Read up on this via a few sportfishing magazines. Like Big Game, Marlin Mag., Pacific Coast Sportfishing. And a book about fishing like one form Zane Gray may fill you in on the adventure and sport with its' Catch and Release ethos where you play "tag" with the fish as a sportsman just there for a chance to experience the grandeur of these big beautiful fish.
2. Join a big game fishing organization of some sort. IGFA or a local fishing club or both would be better. Then when you attend the meetings you will see the gentlemen anglers and hear some of the fishing stories. Maybe even get an invite to go along on an adventure.
3. Book travel to some marlin rich destination and hire a good captain to take you fishing. Nothing makes a fisherman wiser than the experience. Be sure to book your travel at the right time of year to miss Typhoons or Hurricanes but hook up with the best marlin bite. (ie. Cabo or East Cape in Baja California MX)
4. If you have a boat or plan on getting one... Then seek out a little help from a big game tackle shop. Some are better than others. Some are full of "We Know It All" bravado but no matter it is still wise to visit the other tackle stores in your area.
5. If you are in Hawaii, Australia or some other area where you fight 500 to 1,000 pounders you will need very heavy gear. If you are not then you can get buy with 30# to 50# gear. Sometimes for strippers and such talented fishermen with patience and a good boat driver you can catch marlin on light line. (ie. 20, 12 or 8 lb line )
After you see a few marlin up close and personal you will appreciate how these beautiful fish are like the lions on the African savanna. Kings in the sea. A wonder to behold and an extremely exciting moment to pull on one while they leap.

∙ 13y agoYou need a fish pole and a fishing line with small weights, weights depend on the water for depth and if it's fresh water or salt water and you need hooks. You also need bait, different baits can catch different types of fish, the bigger the bait the bigger the fish. It's also best if you fish in a lake or ocean that you know will have fish that you want.
