No pics of the "attack" from all the other boats nearby?...

Those pics are priceless!!!! Shot of A lfetime for sure! Thanks for the read Sara!

while not an "attack" it still makes for some great pics. & its kind of cool that it broke the hook.
No doubt about who won that one!

hehe yeah I guess it isn't so much an attack as it was probably a panic attack for that Marlin LOL But wow can you even imagine being on that boat with it comin right for you?

That first pic is the last shot the photographer got off before it crashed into the boat, supposedly. This is a perfect example why video > photos! Funny part is the photog was that bluewater john guy.

It happens more often than one might think.  I was once down on a boat in Costa Rica with my dad.  He was in the chair cranking on a fiesty little 250# blue marlin.  That sucka went off and came right at the boat banging right into it.  And I stood there watching, my dad strapped in and unable to get out of the way if that blue had jumped the transom.  Needless to say my heart skipped a few beats.
