You probably already know this but this was staged and "fake".

I didn't read that anywhere, but I figured as much. But it's pretty funny nonetheless. That dude is a whacky fellow though--he has a whole TV show about stuff like that, although most antics don't appear to be so out-there. Where did you read that it was staged?

After watching some of his other stuff I have no doubt that he's crazy enough to try it, if for no other reason than for the TV show. Something about the draw of Darwinism, I suppose...

+1!!!

Have you found the perfect height to jump from? I mean, too low and the 'ski sees you coming--but too high, and you could break something. Must be a trick there I'll bet...

These guys are pros. They even had a boat with a camera right where they found the fish. Makes me wonder, if the boat knows where the fish are, why did they have to go looking for the fish????

Yes, Pointer was probably right in that it was staged. It is indeed pretty convenient that they flew around until spotting a marlin, but then had time to run a boat over there to film it. Of course the boat could have went over to investigate the school of baitfish and actually spotted the marlin for them--so maybe that's why it was at the right place at the right time.

Who knows, and I don't really care. I just got a laugh out of the clip.

Better not miss, and you'd better bring a big fish. After you let it go, you'll need the fish to avoid being eaten.

Wear a GoPro though...might be fun to see.
