At least they had video proof of it.
Like one comment on the Youtube page says "there's more cameras than fishing rods on that boat!"

Not quite sure what's more amusing, the big guy falling over or the ladder cleaning up the other guy... I'd say the Marlin got the last laugh :lol:

I'm curious how they got the first 17 seconds of footage.
It's plainly from behind the boat, but you can see from the other cameras that there is nothing there.
Possibly it was taken seperately.

I was wondering the same thing, well at least until the guy got hit in the head with the ladder :lol:

I actually think the white pole that the guy in the white shirt is holding has a Go-Pro or the like strapped to it, you'll notice he's not in the first few shots and then when they switch to the aerial shot he's there holding the pole.

Bingo!
You can see it on the end of the pole at 0:45
I initially thought that was another fishing rod.
