Well I've had 3 on your list on, but never landed one. One was a marlin on a small boat rod on that sailboat delivery, while dragging a homemade rig with red/white strips of old rags. I'd used that same rig to hook and loose several dolphin. I was dragging it one day after we had locked through the Panama canal and were a half day or so into the Pacific. Saw a long bill, a hugh boil and then watched in disbelieve as the Penn he had on board emptied. Snap. The gear on that trip was sad and I was making due with what was on hand.
During a keys charter I had 3 blacktip sharks on, a couple almost got to the boat, guide estimated the big one at about 150 lgs. Largest fish I've actually boated is still my biggest striper at 55 lbs.
