strange place for a marlin??

this was filmed in Allens CREEK Port Kembla near the steelworks!!!

bodgy filming but its there...........

[Scott nthQld]

dunno about a marlin, it looks more like a small shark to me, no bill was seen even though the fish was right on the surface. The idiot behind the camera called it for a 10foot black marlin....not a frickin chance in hell is that thing 10ft long, if it is, I'll eat my computer, For a start, I don't think blacks travel that far south, I used to live down there and never heard of a black being caught down that way, plenty of blues and striped ones though.

[weasel]

it looks like a small broadbill

[weasel]

scott plenty of small blacks down that way used to spend most summers live baiting the ledges along point perpendicular caught quite afew small blacks

hard to say look close between 40 and 45sec, im not to sure but i dont think its a shark, any other opinions??

[craig51063]

you can make out the tail sometimes and that is not a tail of a shark . it does look like a marlin but it is only small one .

[matt__hill]

looks like some sort of billy dorsal is too far forward for a shark and the tail is too thin.
nice footage

[fleety77]

i agree def not a shark..............

[Cammy]

hahaha 10 ft looks 6ft at the max!

OK I'll retract the shark statement, I've had another couple of looks at it and there are times where I can see the sun reflecting a bluish glow off the dorsal. I will now agree that it is a billfish, but not sure about the marlin part.

But I standby what I said, if that thing is 10ft long I'll eat my computer, graphics card, speakers and any other peripherals....everything.

No, no, I said if it was 10ft long, then I'd eat my computer....even though, I think it would take a lot of boiling to soften it up enough

[WyldFisher]

Bugger me dead if is actaully a Marlin.

[matt__hill]

Yeah 10 foot is a bit rude

[tae4551]

i put it through my editing program and looked at it frame by frame. it's not a shark definently a bill fish of some type around 5 to 6ft

[fishboy1]

Good capture on the video mate. Any fool can see it is a good size fish. I don't need to knock you on it's size or weight.
