Excellent!  ;D
Reminds me of my safari in Africa. Somebody forgot the corkscrew and for several days we had to live on nothing but food and water.

Great video of the marlin, but I must ask the question, I wonder how far he was off the coast when he caught it and then how far did the Marlin tow him before it broke the line????  Landfall could have been disappearing in the distance.

Man that is impressive.

I jagged a sail fish out of a 12ft dinghy a couple of years back out of Port Smith WA.

Not as as impressive as a Marlin but still my best catch ever.
Have it on video but buggered if I know how to upload it.
