Anybody see this on the today show a few days ago

I saw it and believe its an extremely stupid thing to do no matter how hard it was to do.

Guy sounds like an idiot,though he is achieving international exposure which he seems to seek. I wonder how long till he gets impaled like the other two unlucky dumb asses previously mentioned. You would think they would come up with a cleverer name for their newly invented sport, "Extreme Fishing"??? Although I criticize their endeavors, I must admit I'll be looking out for the show on the Discovery Channel.

He's bagged 1,100 marlin, got bored, so now he tackles them from aircraft.

Monumental douchebaggery.

That guy needs a new hobby.

 

I bet the photographers get dumped in the water after a fish is subdued, then the takedown scene is re-enacted for the cameras...  That's about the only way it could be done without spooking the fish, no?

I think it's kinda cool in a Rambo way, but lame to chum up the fish...

littoral summed it up perfectly.

that is definitely one of the dumbest and most unnecessary things i've ever heard someone do.

and he has his own show on DISCOVERY!!!! amazing.
