Backing down ..... , kind of dangerous with twin props ready to cut you into pieces , I wonder what the insurance company will do to the boat owner if
they ever see this videoclip ?

The angler was probably fighting a big pail pulled in the water through out most of the video and the "fish" was hiding on the swim platform out-of-sight and jumped into the water at the last minute.

I actually suspected something was fishy when the boat was still leisurely cruising away after the hookup Even if it was to "sink" the hook in, which is usually done when Marlin fishing using big lure with big hooks, the captain will gun the boat & put it back to neutral almost immediately. At the speed the boat was going, the line would have been "dumped" from the reel in seconds if it was really a momma YFT.

The video was great fun nonetheless
