The idle musings of a former military man, former computer geek, medically retired pastor and now full-time writer. Contents guaranteed to offend the politically correct and anal-retentive from time to time. My approach to life is that it should be taken with a large helping of laughter, and sufficient firepower to keep it tamed!

A real fishing story!
The Peripatetic Engineer has some fascinating video footage on his blog. It shows a marlin, trapped in a blow-out preventer deep beneath the sea, below an oil rig (which I think is in the Gulf of Mexico).
The 'pilot' of a remotely operated vehicle (ROV), to which the camera is attached, makes several passes to clutch the tail of the giant fish with the ROV's arm, and pull it clear. It's very interesting to watch.
You can see the video here.
