01.09 - CALVIN LAI SPEARS WORLD RECORD BLUE MARLIN

Location: Kona, Hawaii

Below: PELAGIC Pro Team Freediver Calvin Lai with his world-record blue marlin he speared off Kona, Hawaii. Said Lai "I was a couple hundred yards from the boat at the time, and this huge marlin is all lit up like a Christmas tree... the fish looked pretty pissed off and started coming at me so I took a shot... after that the fish went ballistic, but I was able to keep it under control and bring her in."
