There is an even better video out there somewhere showing both Jim and another yak fisher who looks a lot like our favorite PAL, while both are hooked up with marlin. If I remember correctly there are a few frames in the video that show the two kayaks close together and both marlins flying out of the water together. Pretty amazing.

I would like to see that video again. Even better, I would like to have that experience one of these days.

catching a stripped marlin from a kayak is epic for sure, however we are talking about swordfish here!! Can you share your experience ?. I would venture to guess that a 150lb. swordy could be doable from a Hobie kayak. Anything larger and u can kiss your ass goodbye. Also expect a three to four hour ordeal. If waters are right this season I may take the lights and big gear out in search....
