Did anyone else happen to see the 15 minute short film on Turner Classic Movie channel about Howard Hill bowfishing for Blue Marlin. He started by shooting 3 flying fish for trail bait. He then arrowed 2, 200 lb +, Blue Marlin. The second one did a "death lunge" and sank the skiff the reeler was in. COOL STUFF!!

I think that it's on YouTube as well. I can't seem to copy a link in my phone but I'll try and remember to post it when I get home.

Edit: Go to YouTube and look up Howard Hill Sword Fishing. Should pop right up.

Yeah, I noticed that. I think they probably did the same thing when they had the swordfish swim through the boat.

The fish through the boat may be something different. It was all for film shorts entertainment of the day. Get paid for an adventure kind of thing. Should have done the same thing on some of my canoe trips. I imagine someone would pay to see me getting chased by a mama moose.
