Now THIS is how you catch a fish

New Zealander’s have always had a strong competitive streak, but we’ve just found a video that shows that when they aren’t tending to sheep, New Zealander’s are something special.

For those of you not familiar with a Marlin, the fish is well known for being able to reach speeds of about 110 kilometres per hour (68 mph) and grow to 5 metres (16 ft) in length and 670 kilograms (1,500 lb) in weight. The short version is we aren’t talking about a small fish here by any stretch.

They build them tough in New Zealand, as this video demonstrates:
