Awesome video! Amazing the swordfish didn't just swoop in and grab a mouthful from the mass, though.
Boy he really attacked them.
He had a *sword* watcha expect
He probably already ate a bunch of them and now is just playin with his food with nothing better to do.
Those are some big ass sardines...
Or a small ass sailfish.
There's actually a number of species that are classified as "sardines," some of which are over a foot (30 cm) long as adults.
ahhh, I see now how his sail can be used to herd and direct the sardines, then he damages them with his spear and those damaged drop off the group and he dines on them, then follow up with a white wine.
Its like there on a plate and hes cutting the meat up while arguing with wifey whose off camera
The sail helps to herd the fish, but when multiple sailfish attack a large school each will flash their sail in turn to signal to the others that he is going to charge the fish ball. Sailfish take turns attacking so there is no chance of injuring each other by accident.
Ghetto sword, messes with ya, then slashes ya, for your goods.
When it glitters under water you know it's magical
Wow that's amazing!
Well what the hell, I been fishing all my life and I had no idea what the bill was for. I wonder what carnage a sawfish wreaks with its snozzer now.
cRIKEYS MATE i DIDNT KNOW sARDINES GREW THAT BIG AND THANKS FOR SHARING.
Cool vid they also make a grunting or clicking sound when balling bait
Wow amazing
Nice video
Hm. Either the sailfish isn't very hungry, or maybe he just doesn't like this brand of sardine? I didn't see him eat even one.
It probably ate most of them. They can only take so much. They slow down or get crippled. Those get picked off easily. Once they are schooled this tight it’s over. Especially if there is more than one.
Bad day at school . There`s always one bully .
I thought they use it to skewer the fish for roasting later.
😂😂😂 It is difficult to keep the fire going, though. Maybe they take them to some undersea lava vent and boil them? Lol
Those sardines are massive.
That was my first thought
I usually notice 3 sardine fish packed tightly into a small tin. I don't think any of these sardines would fit into any tins at all.
According to Wiki, one species of sardine, pilchards, can get up to 15.6 inches long, and live 25 years . . . as long as Swordfish don't move into the neighborhood, that is.
I didn't know they used that to slash, I thought it'd stick the sardines. 🤡
A slash through a large group of targets is infinitely more consistent than trying to stab a singular, more agile small prey item...
@@iwasadeum I can only assume the tip of the spear is insanely sharp? Is the glittery shit from it scraping scales off of them?
A MARLIN... great photography..
I thought they moved much faster?
Slow motion is pointless when the res is only 240P
Great... We liked and enjoyed to the end. Thanks Have a happy day!
Those are pretty big sardines
Now my mother would say if you don't quit playing with your food you're not getting any dessert
He wasn’t hungry, but thinking about having shish kabob later
Nice brother
Wow
Well at least he brought a can opener.
Bago nga palang kaibigan idol,,sana makabisita ka din sa bahay ko,,,pashout na din sa next video mo idol,,god bless sayo,
Its a pointer in a school of fish
shout out kaibigan,sana makabisita ka sa bahay ko,nabisita na kita kaibigan gdbless you
Glad to see it didn't spear them. Then he'd be swimming around with a dead fish on his nose and no way to get at it.
There's the reason they're also called swordfish,because that's what they got!
And that'll mess anything up it gets busy let me tell ya,lol...
Those are sum big ass sardines lmfao
With that nose, he can't exactly sneak up in them.
Playing with his food.
Looking for the spicy ones
Just playing with his food.
No sardines
Sorry charlie
Big sardines!
Salam a lakem habibi
still waiting the attack
Some attack...🙄🥱🤔
Very big sardines or very small sailfish !!
wat a war
What couldn’t find a key lol.
Wow nice video kabayan hello FROM Philippines Walker 👣🏃🏃🚶📷🎥0
“Marlin! Stop playing with your dinner and eat your sardines!”
“Aw mom…”
Nemos dad eats other fish?
Sardines should transfer to other school. Student sardines in that school are in danger.
His mother should have told to never play with food
Omg he need to respect them 😂
سبحان الله
Those aren’t sardines….
No sardines, sailfish full.
Poor sardines. They either get killed by a bigger fish or end up in a metal can doused in oil.
Wtf
Haha. Cant do it.
Leave the fish alone!
Well that was shit, is what i think people mean. Could be wrong.
AND THE SAILFISH IS THINKING..."THERE'S GOT TO BE PIZZA🍕AROUND HERE SOMEWHERE"🤭
Trousers
Bullshit!!…Those are not sardines!!
They never get that big!!!
Up to 12 inches
@@ThomasJones-ij6hv Those fish are definitely larger than 12’…Look at the size of the Sailfish!!
@@sticktrik could be a juvenile sailfish.
