[kinaboy]

[sam156nz]

not everyone in NZ is backward.. some of us are in 2009

[kinaboy]

...and the rest of us are just proud to promote ourselves for who we are. Big upz to Matt!

[dugtan]

yea mat pretty O 4 awsum, as the tua man would say lol,keep up da good wrk and tight lines ev1.

[SonnyREast]

I heard The fish was hooked then released from a boat after an hour battle.He's a fraud!

[fireking345]

you heard from what source?

[kaezer2]

You heard!!!!! You sound like a hatter to me busta. Tell ya what Sonny, you get an appearance on letterman as a "professional guitarist and well take you post as something creditable, till then keep your fraudulent claims to yourself.

[thelordjebuschrist]

yeah it was a setup, he's admitted to that in other places, but it's still a good laugh and jumping from a boat onto a tired marlin is still an impressive stunt. It's obvious that it's a setup though, like how did the underwater camera get positioned so quickly without disturbing the fish? and anyone who's encountered a decent game fish before knows that if he had grabbed a full strength marlin like that he either would have lost grip as it took off or quickly disappeared into the distance.

[PIPS2point0]

Respect to Matt, handled the interview well considering it's not something he has done a lot of.

His comment about cricket was classic, "it's like baseball but totally different", no other way to explain it to the uninitiated.

Awesome that Letterman had him on the show too. I wonder if he is the first one to wear shorts on the show?

[tomo12377]

What a legend, this guy is the man!!

[margeandjae267]

Great Stuff Matty!! A long way from J.C in Rewa!!!!!!!!!

Keep up the great work that you are doing for our environment and your kiwi humour takes the piss lol. REWA HARD!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL KIAORA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hubbz361]

GO THE KIWIZ

[StrictlySteinlarger]

shot matty im fron the bay of islands to haha hes the man!

[HANSENMAFIA]

lucaxelm fukin get off ur high horse matt is the fukin man and he's a kiwi . and he catches and releases so go get a life and keep ur stupid thoughts 2 urself

[lucaXelm]

For gods sake, leave the poor fish alone. You dont care about fishing numbers, or the environment. Spearing a fish through the face, laughing about what you have just done, just inflates your childish ego!! Matt Watson is a beer swilling Kiwi, who is only after the limelight..! Dont support idiots like this.!

[gearoid98]

you dont know what you're talking about. he actually does care about the environment and fishing numbers. most of the fish he catches are tagged and set free. just because he's a kiwi doesnt mean he's a beer willing idiot! you should gather your facts before attacking.. i'm a environmentalist and i care about all animals. he has a love of the ocean and is passionate about fishing. out of curiosity.. are you a vegan?????

[mudchair16]

A huge amount of people commenting on videos like this have never left their own backyards and have no real grasp on the fact that he is doing no harm. They should be off making comments on the hundreds of millions of sharks that are finned and thrown overboard each year.

[xxelm]

have you ever left your own backyard....!

[mudchair16]

Constantly.

[Axerty1234]

Did you even watch the video Iuca? He tags them for observation and let's them go. God you're so stupid.

[Melly8686]

Great show.... but Matt just wants his 10 mins fame... I think its pathetic what he does. Leave the fish alone!!

[xxelm]

Yes I agree, he is pathetic.

[Reds4PM]

Loved his mention of cricket.

[thatsMYbeef]

Extremely Stupid i'd say....oh well maybe he'll get killed off just like Crocidile Dundee steve erwin...lol..that poor marlin probably is suffering from Trauma now...lol

[mistershithead]

haha, go Matt go, you crazy fisherman you!

lol, keep up the good work!

[Levionlineconz]

Good to see a boy from Manurewa makin the big time!

[tannedstamina]

Love him!!

[69ColinniloC69]

poor guy seemed pretty nervous :P

[esspro]

Well he's not a film celebrity who's used to interviews, cameras and audiences every day of their life - personally I think he did awesome!!!

[Bifnz]

Didn't look nervous at all

[edsturr]

Haha Dave can't remember his name and is looking for a teleprompter at the very end

[luvbite1]

Great interview! Matt spoke real well and Letterman was his usual pro self. Good advert for li'l ol' NZ that too!

[nutsbutdum]

[nutsbutdum]

[nutsbutdum]

Does somebody know the title of the music that the band is playing during the entrance?

[PR0GRAMMING]

Haha

I can't believe he jumped out for that helicopter and caught that marlin lie he did.

Would be unfortunate if the marlin decided to jump out of the water, or face the ocean surface, thus he could be speared on the marlins nose thing.

[JennRoss19]

Crap!!! did you see him jump on that fish from a freaking helicopter? Takes balls.

[NZchinaman]

repping the kiwis!! good stuff! haha that was unexpected!!1

[astroman12349384]

My respect to this guy.

[DRAGOUNBIG]

"Look! That fish needs a hug!"

[leercup]

lol crazy

[650020169]

Matt is just awesome and I'm glad Letterman didn't try to make an idiot of him, those American Bass fisherman reckon their are the best, they got nothing on this guy!

[Petemurch]

Way to go Matt, show the rest of the world how to do it Kiwi style !!!!!!

[kiwimarlin]
