New fishing technique?

I removed the video.

It was a pretty interesting video about fishing though, although probably staged.

Holy cow!! Imagine if that sailfish looked up when he jumped.

It was staged. They had to have divers with video cameras capturing the whole thing, obviously. But it really did look as if a guy jumped on top of a live marlin! I'm betting they caught it, positioned the divers, released it, filmed a guy jumping from the boat and spliced it with video on a copter. That marlin didn't look as lively as they are normally when something jumped on its back, I'm thinking it musta been tired out from a fight.
