R.W. Ridley- On Writing Poetry… by Guest Blogger BJ Ruddy July 17, 2009I’m turning this post over to my friend and extraordinary poet, BJ Ruddy. I have dabbled in writing bad poetry. My intention was to write brilliant poetry, but as it turns out I am only brilliant at writing gut-wrenchingly awful poetry. BJ on the other hand, not only writes great poetry, he writes poetry [...]R.W. Ridley

it’s fake.
notice his glasses being on as he jumps.
if you hit the water at that speed, head first, with glasses, you’d be lucky if the broken plastic lenses didn’t get driven through your eyeballs.
not to mention the docile, placid marlin sitting conveniently in front of the cameraman at the surface. a) what happened to the feeding frenzy tney supposedly came upon? the marlins would be diving and swooping and going 50 mph, chasing food. Not sitting on the surface. b) if you hit a marlin at that speed, it’d be like hitting a brick wall. they’re dense and strong and outweigh the dude. (not to mention the fact that if he’d really jumped from that high, he’d have shot down deeper than that on impact)
speaking of outweighing him and being strong – he wouldn’t be able to wrestle one to the surface unless it had been exhausted on a line already. Note that he’s not even wearing flippers, yet the marlin complies and goes right to the surface without a fight. Have you ever SEEN a marlin get hooked from a fishing boat??? They can snap thousand-pound fishing line. They can throw themselves dozens of feet in the air. they can go from zero to 60mph in seconds. Yet, when this lightweight dude grabs on, it just goes limp and bobs to the surface???? lol.
total fake.
No such thing as 100 pound test fishing line lol. People use all different pound tests, 20 lb is very common to use. What happened in the video is there is a boat right by where the helicopter is hovering. The boat caught that marlin and they fought it until it got worn out and reached the boat. Then the dude jumped in and landed on it and cut the fishing line. Trying to act like it was just some random marlin he found swimming.
no such thing as 1000 pound*
I agree, if you know anything about Marlin, this just seems impossible and totally setup.
I then watched and noticed what this other guy above has said… there’s just no way. Marlin don’t just sit there, EVER, especially when there’s a helicopter hovering right above it.
Common sense that this is 99.9% fake, and not what it seems…. yea, maybe he jumped on a tired, almost dead marlin FROM THE BOAT, but no way was that a jump from a helicopter onto a marlin, no FUCKING way that would ever happen.
Props though, a lot of morons will believe this video nonetheless.
My only knowledge of Marlins comes from Hemingway, and if I remember correctly, that old man had a hell of time reeling that damn fish in.
No way this is real. The marlin would’ve whipped this guy’s butt all the way to shore.
The marlin would have been caught from a boat, played for a couple of hours to get it in and then jumped on from a boat when it’s exhausted.
Probably the most likely explanation. Either that or they drugged the fish.
