your mind is like a parachute, it only works when its open
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.
it looks like a small broadbill
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
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
i agree def not a shark..............

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.
Bugger me dead if is actaully a Marlin.
Yeah 10 foot is a bit rude
