    absolutely rigged, but hilarious. I think they are the same guys that did the great white hookup on the surf board at the beach.

    It looks good on the surface (pun intended)!, but anybody who has ever billed and tried to control a green marlin, even after a decent fight, knows there is more to this than meets the unedited eye!
