Smooth but that's not a Marlin Jon. Wonder what the size is.
 
Thats a nice video, the fish must be blind or something, he has to trap himself twice...hehehehe, that would have been an easy meal for the boys.
 
Hi Jon

To be honest that is not a fish I want to encounter in the sea. It looks like a Broadbill Swordfish (I hear that a spearo was killed by one in the Pacific). From what I have read they have a BAD attitude and are quite nasty - even the longline fishing boats treat them with respect!:blackeye
 
I saw one video in you tube where a woman got stab on her boobies on the boat itself, its like the fish kinda jump over the boat or sumtin...could'nt remember exactly well, i'll look for that video again.
 
I wish they said how deep the ROV was when it rescued the fish. It look pretty deep.
