    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.

    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 .

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

    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
