Did you say Marlin fishing?

Now this would be a fun catch and ride.

Very cool vid,CH. Especially liked the release at the end. That thing was totally exausted. Would never have survived if
they hadn't taken the time and effort they did. Thanks for posting that!

that's crazy, almost as good as tuna fishing.

yes , they did a good job reviving it. I have seen strip marlin have heart attacks and keel over from too much fighting.
these guys were pretty pro.
if i was younger i would like to try to do similar but with a hunting crossbow with line attached between arrow and fishing rod and pop seals.
I hear seal meat is very good eating and our Prime Minister has eaten it and the fur would make awesome hats.
maybe a new west coast sport?
