X-treme Marlin Fishing

[Mumbles]

This can definately be considered a naval, (or maritime ) related aviation thread. This type of fishing from a helo is bananas and requires big brass cajones.

What a pussy!......he let go! Now I bet there are some badass aircrewmen who could jump out of a -60H and have Great White steaks that night!

Is there a reason that every video I see on the front page of Break.com ends up on AW?

I mean... it's a little redundant...

 

[Mumbles]

Gee, JoBob....

I have never heard of "break.com".....
I got this in an email from my Dad and thought it would be neat to share. Sorry that I bored you. But now I'll check out break.com!

My apologies for not using the appropriate emoticons to demonstrate a jesting post. Don't get butt-hurt. It's a good video, to be sure, but I was just referring to the fact that every funny video of a good nut-shot ends up on AW, when it is already available on plenty of other video sites. At least yours had an aircraft in it!

I agree with you.....

That video is fake as hell. If you have ever been around a green Marlin you know that it is the last thing you would want to be in the water holding on to. That fish was hooked, fought for a while and released boatside and then with a camera man in the water he piled on. Good production though.

^ That makes sense.....Is that your boat BTW?? It's a beaut!!

Yes it is. I fish offshore as often as possible but with fuel costs like they are .... once a month. The boat is a 36 Yellowfin with triple F250 yamahas. As for the fish, if you have ever had the honor of being close to a revved up Marlin you will know what I mean. Raw power unleashed!! Love those fish. Tuna are just the same but not as dangerous without the bill.

(Not turning this into a youtube fest)

And the grandaddy of all eff ups.... the slack line getting a loop over the rod tip. Waterskiing.

^^^ That last vid was great.

I thought the original post was gonna be a spear fishing one, where man jumps from R44, then nails the marlin. That would have been sweet.

And having speared a much smaller mahi, I can say from experience: that marlin would have taken him for a ride if he tried that junk for real.

That last video must be similar to what happened here.
