450 pound Black Marlin eaten by shark

This 450 pound black marlin was caught off Cairns, Australia. After about 22 minutes it panicks and goes down deep, where the sharks live. Big mistake. At least we got to keep the Bill! As for the size, its the Captain who makes the call, not me. Barry Cross (skip) estimated it to be around 450lbs, so thats what i go with even though i might agree with some that its closer to 350 than 450. For a reference, at the end of the video when i'm holding the head, i'm 6'4". It might also be helpful to know that the boat is 65ft long and has a beam (width) of 17.5ft.

Go to www.mvjoejoe.com for more info on the awesome boat! There is a professional DVD out with this footage on it, go to www.bransfords.com.au to buy.

I read this as 450 lb. black man eaten by shark. I feel rather sheepish right now.

1.) Stop the video at 2:37, make sure to keep it muted.

2.) Open a new tab with youtube and add this. /watch?v=_cXLYxx1yBA

(2nd video with sound)

3.) Play at same time and enjoy the epic fisherman's struggle.

It was overly dramatic music for what was taking place. Maybe if the great white had breached near the boat, it would have been cool.

When people ask me why I don't like going to the beach? I tell them it's because there are things in that water that will hit 400 pound bait.

Daniel if you're going to call someone dumb, you should learn the difference between your and you're.

Phil your a dumbass. In my OPINION.

[PhilsPhreeGifts]

(My opinion) Humans should leave the creatures of the seas and oceans alone, If you want aquatic flesh, farm your own inside tanks on land. If you have an urge to kill something in the ocean, know that you and your human brothers already have through pollution and over-fishing, and that there is no need to kill any further.
