Hey Carl and crew! Im headed down to Costa Rica /Colombia in a month to travel/do some surfing. Where will you guys be? Can ya send me Zephyr's contact info down there. It would be cool to meet up with her down there.
If marlin are half as tough as king salmon then leaving a hook in their mouth won't affect them at all. I've caught kings with other fishermen's hooks in their mouth, and I've even caught kings that had a section of their mouth torn off from other fishermen. Coho salmon are routinely caught that have shark bite wounds only a few days old. Awesome catch.
It's a myth that hooks rust out including bronze ones. The best thing to do is to mash the barb down really well so you could back it our of a stocking if you had to. That way the hook can fall out or rub out.
lol...maybe if he paddle out and caught it vs. taking a boat out there then jumping in the water and paddling right up to one feeding on chum, then not really catching it at all, just hooked it for a moment... are you sure that's not some little bay where tourist catch feed fish? kinda lame, but definitely not extreme.... paddle in with a marlin then maybe you'd have something to brag about cuz.
@monki600 but how long does it take is the question. Only cut the leader if the hook cant be removed without damaging the fish. Bronze hooks break down faster than steel.
Very cool !! I know the feeling a bit .... siting in a small canoe and being dragged around by a king salmon while the river takes you down stream....... lol It was awesome!!
Cheers
Hey.... dont mind the idiots on the thread......... they are just...... idiots!!
@boospruce Cause its way cooler from a SUP board! Who cares if you paddle with your hands, its harder that way anyhow! And in terms of fishing its definetly EXTREME!!! Yeah buddy!!!! Yahoo.
@creamtt Try sidestepping ftom the aft of an 80 foot boat to the the vow fully zoomed while its spinning and stay licked in on your subject. Then talk to me. Also 9-11 conspiracy theorists critisms don't count either.
the camera man did a good job, i dont see any unsteady handling there, the point here is catching a certain moment on cam which we really dont see everyday. id be more happy if you brought the fish home for your family's dinner. but im also pro catch and release so, either way, cool vid..:)
If your video wasnt good these people wouldnt wast their time commenting on it or watching it. Looks like a good video and fun time to me. The haters should get a life.
That is just outright awesome.... I was wondering how the release was going to happen... Good call...safe(considering you're on a paddle board) and the fish lives on to grow and fight again...
Now the real question...how big is too big for a paddle board...LOL
If the Marlin is calm and the hook is easily accesible then obviously take it out. We generally get our fish to the boat in under 10 minutes and the fish are still "green" and really healthy/wild so its beeter just to cut em loose. We've found a much higher survial rate this way. Plus ALWAYS use circle hooks!
Cool stunt, but you're a loser for not properly releasing that marlin. I hope you were using a bronze hook that will corrode and break in the saltwater.
The hooks will disolve after a month or two or fall out of the fishes mouth. More harm is actually done by people trying to remove the hook. The Marlin usually whacks its head against the side of the boat which is 100% fatal. We have deployed thousands of tags in Striped Marlin in order to protect the species. Think next time before you comment on something your not properly informed on.

I am properly informed, I've caught marlin and other large saltwater fish. The fish is better off having the hook properly removed immediately.

If you should leave the hook in, why did Guy Harvey help develop the ARC De-Hooker ?

Cool stunt, but you're a loser for not properly releasing that marlin. I hope you were using a bronze hook that will corrode and break in the saltwater.

The hooks will disolve after a month or two or fall out of the fishes mouth. More harm is actually done by people trying to remove the hook.
