It took 11 months of planning and attempts. They had a boat in the area chumming bait to keep the Marlin near the surface and in the right area and then a diver in the water. In fact that was one of the questions the interviewer asked!

Sooner or later he will have a close encounter with a 3ft bill from one of those huge fish and than he will go back to rod and reel, but still to say the least it is amusing to watch and stupid to perform.

He's got to be careful of his spear.... do you remember that aussie guy who got killed by the sting ray? Just imagine a fish that big.... a hundred times the force of a stingray!
