Man imitates seabird, dives on fish from helicopter

Matt Watson calls himself the gannet man--he dives from the sky (out of a helicopter) and lands on top of a big marlin in the water, grabs ahold of the fish and hangs on. Unbelievable. This is extreme fishing at its most extreme.

You have to see it to believe it

...but even after you see it, you still won't believe it...

  3. Jason, are you suggesting that somebody would actually FAKE something like this? You must be kidding!

  4. It is no fake. See 'Mad' Matt catch marlin from a surfboard, a jetski and more, on his show The Ultimate Fishing Show in New Zealand. http://www.thefishingshow.co.nz/

  6. I'm frankly more amazed that they got the shot than they got the fish. He jumps on fish (good indian name) after the cameraman's already in the water, so there's quite a bit of coordination going on. And what happened to the sunglasses? Just curious.
