Like my father used to say about stuff hiding in plain sight, ahem:
"Had it been an attack-video, you'd have been bit"

>> ^GenjiKilpatrick:
this is a dupe. i figured someone else woulda caught it by now

I didn't find it on the sift and it seems like so couldn't you.

>> ^Tymbrwulf:

How is that better than Blue Jays, Marlins or even White Sox?

Yeah White Sox & Red Sox are weird, and being a small blue bird doesn't sound that exciting, but if you don't think a marlin is more badass than a carp you're crazy.

>> ^EmptyFriend:

good catch and all.... but their team name is the Carp? seriously?


How is that better than Blue Jays, Marlins or even White Sox?

"From giant blue marlin to mighty bluefin tuna, and from tropical groupers to Antarctic cod, industrial fishing has scoured the global ocean. There is no blue frontier left," said lead author Ransom Myers, a fisheries biologist based at Dalhousie University in Canada. "Since 1950, with the onset of industrialized fisheries, we have rapidly reduced the resource base to less than 10 percent—not just in some areas, not just for some stocks, but for entire communities of these large fish species from the tropics to the poles."

>> ^Farhad2000:
Naa the fishing community has fucked itself long before there was an oil leak with its overly aggressive fishing practices.
You ever a seen a trawler? They basically scrap the entire bottom of the surface, only a small percentage of what they haul out is actually what they want/need.
>> ^Yogi:
Wow...BP is totally fucked now...this is actually being reported on CNN and really aggressively. As well they're totally fucking over the fishing community.


I've spent my life being a fisher-guy...and I say you're a Liar!

No joke, that is an absolutely feral display. Marlin Perkins could narrate this clip.
Do Guidos really dance around displaying their plummage in the hopes of attracting a mate?

Gay Fish Lyrics

Yo, uh, uh c'mon

*Verse 1*
I've been so lonely girl, I've been so sad and down
Couldn't understand why haters joked around
I wanted to be free with other creatures like me
And now I got my wish, cause i know that I'm a gay fish (gay fish)

*Chorus*
(Gay fish Yo) mother fuckin' gay fish
(I'm a fish yo) goin' on a gay fish
(It's alright girl) makin' love to other gay fish

*Verse 2*
All those lonely nights at the grocery store
In the frozen fish aisle feelin' like a whore
Cause I wasn't being true
Even though everyone said that I had to make a switch
(Gay fish) now I know that I'm a gay fish (gay fish)

*Chorus*
(Gay fish Yo) mother fuckin' gay fish
(I'm a fish yo) Goin' on a gay fish
(Now I'm where i belong girl) makin' love to other gay fish

*Verse 3 Rap*
I used to be scared, denying who I was
Acting straight but then going out to the gay fish clubs
Dancing with the Marlins making out with the all the Snappers
I'd take a Salmon home and work that Coddle Fin for hours
But now I'm out and I'm free to love what I want
Be it Yellow Fin or Bass or them trout in Vermont
I slapped that Holland ass, make that Gooberman shake
I'll come to your house and have an orgy in your motherfuckin' fish tank (fish tank, fish tank)

*Chorus*
Mother fuckin' gay fish
(I'm a fish yo) Goin' on a gay fish
(Yeah now I'm where i belong girl) makin' love to other gay fish

*Verse 4*
I really get around I'm the slut of the sea
When i say I've got crabs I mean it literally
I was eating dinner and just had to go down on that Mackerel on the dish
Cause I'm the gayest of the gay fish (gay fish)

*Chorus*
Mother fuckin' gay fish
(I'm a fish yo) Goin' on a gay fish
Yeah now I'm where i belong girl

*Verse 5*
But I gotta settle down I can't be a whore
I ain't gonna just sleep with any fish no more
I've found me a lover, a brother who's a cross-dressing Cod named Trish
And together we are gay fish (gay fish)

*Chorus*
(Gay fish yo) motherfuckin' gay fish
(I'm a fish yo) goin' on a gay fish
(Yeah, now I'm where i belong girl) makin' love to other gay fish
(Gay fish, gay fish, gay fish, gay fish, gay fish, gay fish...)

You know what would be an awful way to die? Cruising around down about 10m with one end of a fishing line stuck in a marlin's gullet and the other end stuck in your belt loop, all the while thinking "I just did not see this coming."

Those marlin are fast!

Wow, I've never seen a marlin actually impale prey with its bill before!

I'm reminded of Marty Stouffer or Marlin Perkins:
"As we look on and witness these two siblings play, pay particular attention to the guttural, almost ape-like hoots and grunts coming from the young male of the species..."

>> ^Aemaeth:
That's eia if I ever saw it. Notice now the Marlin has evolved to learn to attack it's aggressors and save itself?

Good point. That's probably why they have those swords on their faces.

>> ^ant:
Put the camera down and help! Geez.


Heh, yeah kinda reminds me of Cloverfield.

That's * eia if I ever saw it. Notice now the Marlin has evolved to learn to attack it's aggressors and save itself?

But... there was already a cameraman in the water? And the cheering sounds? They're mixing in the audio over the com links?

I guess there could have been a diver with some sort of propulsion device tailing the marlin. But aren't they stupid fast?

Well, even if it was partially staged it was quite impressive.
