Marlin hits press boat

A little sensationalized but worth a quick read....

Marlin goes berserk, attacks press boat during Hawaii tournament

I hope they got good pictures, it was the press boat! Maybe more than a few pro-photographers on board.

Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

The most amazing thing IMO is that you can see land in the background!!! If we had fish like that, that close to land, I would give up striper fishing forever.

You're never out of sight of land while fishing out there. Mauna Kia is over 20,000 feet tall While Mauno Loa is a measly 18,000 feet.

I'll be there for 2 weeks in October. Do you think my new bride will let me go fishing on our honeymoon? ;-)

Hey guys this is Jon Schwartz the fishing photographer and writer. I was the only fellow on that boat that was rammed by the marlin, other than the mate and the captain, making it an even funnier story! I used to fish a lot ( from kayaks for marlins) but gave it up and told them if they wanted to drag lures they had to deal with whatever happened cuz I was only there to take photos..!Plus, did you know that two days later we were rammed by that 550# marlin, we tagged and released a 700 pounder? 'Tis true!
