KILLER UNDERWATER VIDEO OF MARLIN FEEDING ON A BAITBALL
This is must-watch video for those who love to fish for marlin and have always wanted to see what happens beneath the surface of the water. Dr. Terry Maas, working along with Captain Mike McGettigan and Sherry Shaffer of the Ambar III, hit the Golden Gate Bank just north of Cabo San Lucas capturing what just might be the most dramatic footage of the feeding habits of striped marlin. Throw in some finback whales, seals, tuna and dorado and you have the ultimate video clip for fishheads.
