It’s a simple equation, and it makes for some hilarious viewing. What happens when a guy on your boat hooks a sizable Marlin, reels it in and then proceeds to let it jump right into the back of your boat?

We’d get out too, we’d jump right off the deck just like this guy did. But watch his fisherman mate; he stays in the chair without moving a muscle. Yeah we know, probably paralyzed with fear and worried about showing the brown stain left when he got up. At least for a little while anyway. It’s fishing movies like these that simply wouldn’t have been available in the days before permanent GoPro cameras.

The big game fishing boats now have up to 20 of these cameras littered around the deck in a bid to capture these amazing moments as they’re happening. For customers, it’s priceless to take home footage of the ‘one that didn’t get away’, for the viewers at home, it’s still priceless. We watched this at least 3 times and we’re still laughing about it.
