Yes. Fishing marlins from helicopters. It may sound boring, but seriously, you won’t believe your eyes. If your jaw doesn’t drop after watching this, I’ll post pictures of myself naked. Update: do you think this is real or not? I think is is, but you can tell us you opinion in the comments.

I’ve seen similar things before, with other fishes and from boats. In this case, it looks absolutely real: it’s definitely not 3D or an animatronic–look how it swims away.
I’m sure they tried a few times before actually achieving it, then edited the whole thing to make it appear as a single try. You can also keep the marlin around with food and, like other fishes, they won’t run away from you unless you try to approach underwater. And finally. technically the video is impeccable. Maybe that’s the trick, and it’s fake after all, but I’m inclined to believe that they got it after some hard work. [Heavy]

Saturday, July 26, 2008 at 7:47 PMBy the sounds of it Matt Watson is actually a Mad Marlin catching Kiwi. You can tell by the way he says “fish”, us Aussies aren’t that crazy…

Saturday, July 26, 2008 at 9:37 PMAmazing video..I mean sure my jaw did drop, more of the fear of actually seeing picture of you naked (awful thought). Just wondering how they scored the underwater shot of the marlin and the bait fish in an open ocean…in any case a great video..

Saturday, July 26, 2008 at 10:29 PMhe’s not aussie…
not sure about the ‘reality’ of it…he seems to let go of that fish pretty quick..but the setup of multiple cameras in a supposed ‘random’ spot seems suspect,,,anyway who cares..it looked rad for a second…GO FUTURE

Friday, August 1, 2008 at 9:12 AMSaw the exact same thing on another video except that one had Kiwis instead of Ausis.

Friday, August 1, 2008 at 8:17 PMThese fish are not meant to wrestle human beings with their MOUTHS FORCED SHUT and no way to protect or defend themselves.
Yea … BIG, strong, courageous fishermen. It’s just another idiotic display of bored males raging on too much testosterone. Get a freaking life, get something constructive to do and leave defenseless creatures ALONE!
Arseholes. Stupid, male arseholes……..

Friday, March 13, 2009 at 10:41 PMYou sound like fucking parrots. “He’s not from Australia, he’s Kiwi”. I believe that point was made clear the first time it was posted; however, the majority of you have this strange misconception that people who use the internet are illiterate (or have alzheimers) and need the same shit written more than once in order for them to take in the information.
I’ve given up faith in humanity.

Monday, March 16, 2009 at 3:01 PMthat marlin was bronze in colour which is they colour they go when under stress say after a long fight on rod and reel. I think they caught it fishing ‘the normal way’ then jumped in and grabbed on to it. looks good though
