incredible.. since water isn't compressible.. it's amazing they can get that speed in the water.. the water pressure against their body when they swim must be huge.
A fish that can swim 80 mph can develop a very strong and defined muscle mass. The marlins are remarkably invincible when hooked but, at the point of breakthrough when they get tired (no define time) and the angler got a good foothold and leverage for the fighting fish, the retrieving will become lighter (until he got hold of the fish) due to air accumulation in the fish bladder.
new research shows swordfish are not the fastest swimmers. 80 mph estimates were based on the force by them swimming and shaking their head around while pulling string, which is unreliable for an swimming speed estimate to say the very least, newer estimates and records show they can reach speeds of up to 20 mph at most. the tittle of fastest swimmer goes to baleen whales, such as the Fin whale and blue whale, which go to speeds up to 23 mph and 30 mph respectively.
I caught a 6’ Blue Marlin in Baja Mexico. So cool. It was so far away when he finally jumped I thought it couldn’t be mine. Took 35 minutes to bring it in. Amazing beautiful fish. The week before, our guide told me a couple from US caught one and brought it aboard their boat. It killed one of them and hurt the other seriously.
I have nothing against properly managed fishing to keep the fish to eat, but it's super cool to instead bring him in just close enough to tag him, then let him go. What a beauty.
I once caught a 830lbs Pacific blue here in Hawaii. Took over an hour and all of my strength fighting it......NEVER AGAIN!! So much work reeling it in....cleaning the fish....and cleaning the boat. Lol. I'll stick to 150lbs or less sized fish like yellow fin tuna etc. AWESOME experience though.
Something tells me you have no idea what you're talking about. :) The line's not that stretchy, so there won't be much spring-related deviation. They know the diameter of the reel and the thickness of the line, so they can turn an RPM reading into a linear speed. They can even account for the diameter decreasing as the line plays out. The doubts you have seem to be borne of ignorance or flat-out denial.

Marlin are among the fastest fish, but speeds are often wildly exaggerated in popular media, such as reports of 132 km/h (82 mph). Recent research suggests a burst speed of 36 kilometres per hour (22 mph) is near the maximum rate.
22 mph? That’s what the fastest person in the NFL got clocked at. Usain bolt rain 27.78 mph and he’s the fastest person the planet. You would think that a fish can move faster even in water than a human being can on land.
There's many videos to be found of dolphins and killer whales chasing boats playing in the wake at what appears to be significantly north of 36 kmh and I would suggest from my micro bit of knowledge of fluid dynamics that a marlin would be capable of much more. The body difference is not dissimilar to comparing a normal passenger jet to a fighter jet.

Hydrodynamic. There is a video of at least two giant Tiger sharks reducing a 650lb black marlin to a head and bill in about ten seconds. Most mind-boggling thing I've ever seen.
They snip the hook with bolt cutters between the barb and the eye, the barbed part will then be ejected by the fish extremely quickly and the part of the hook with the ye will remain on the line. The fish is only put in harms way if they fight for a long time and dont get recovered properly
Good point but let's put it this way: If you had a GPS app on your phone and you carried it around with you while, say, playing football, it might show how fast you were moving... but if you were being chased by a bear, I bet that GPS would set some world records...
When you watch this video and want to learn more so you do some research and find out the whole 80mph thing could actually be a huge exaggeration... :(
This is a blue marlin(this was filmed in St Thomas where Red Bailey lives and fishes)not black marlin(live only in Pacific Ocean)and fastest fish in ocean is a sailfish!
Had to fact check this and there seems to be enough data to show that sailfish are much faster at about 70 mph, and black marlin don't get anywhere near that
@@ryand141 As others have pointed out, this guy didn't even know he caught a striped marlin rather than a black. The speed of the black marlin , although mentioned on several sites, appears to be a myth
Um firstly the fish he caught was a striped Marlin and the "fastest fish spicies in the world" title goes to a toss up between the sailfish and the wahoo.
I once caught a 200 pound plus blue Marlin on a Penn 330 GTI reel spooled with 30 lb. Andi line on a 30 pound class rod. The fish took a baliyhoo swimming behind a blue and white Islander lure. It took 24 minutes and when we got her boat side we were two nautical miles from the hookup. That fish tail walked for a hundred yards and jumped at least six times during the fight .We fished from my 23 foot center consul Mako boat.
The commentator said that the marlin pulled the line out at a rate from which he calculated its speed to to be 80mph. Did he know whether the marlin was swimming towards the boat, away from it or what direction, does he know the speed of the boat? These factors would have a huge bearing on the speed at which the line ran out, and hence the real speed of the poor fish.
David Leigh well if it's pulling on the line then it's going in the opposite direction and the top speed of black Marlins is 80mph so the method works. Also this fish is fine, fish hooks fall out once they are cut from the line as there is nothing giving resistance.
Not quite sure I would call that fight muscle against muscle! You were using your muscles, but you had an awful lot of help from leverage and a massive boat.
And the ratcheting mechanism too. Yeah, it's not a very fair fight. Also, it's sprinter (marlin) vs. endurance (human). And the human gets dinner whether or not they reel in the fish, heheh.
That tag causes drag on any creature they attach it to, penguins routinely lose weight cos they can't catch the fish they could previously. That tiny margin in reduced speed efficiency is the difference between life and death..
Okay Jefferey I may be flat out wrong here but let me try and write down my thoughts. I don't think the speed of the boat matters. The fact that the reel is open and loose letting the fish pull on it freely actually controls for the speed of the boat. If the line were taut then the speed of the boat would probably pull the fish but I don't think the boat moving in the opposite direction would make a difference. Now that I do write this I think the boat traveling in the same direction might play a role on if the speed of the boat mattered but honestly I couldn't tell what direction the fish was traveling.
So if you google it says the Sailfish is the fastest fish. They said they measured this marlins speed by the line coming off the reel. Problem is the boat was also going a certain speed the opposite direction. That would skew the measured speed of the fish a bit. Still, very impressive though!
But while he is measuring the marlin’s speed, the fish is going one way while the boat is going the other/opposite way. Wouldn’t the boat have to remain still or at least shut its engine down and just let the fish travel (with line in mouth) in order to get a more accurate fish speed reading?
The people getting the original readings almost certainly took official measurements while the boat was still, or subtracted the speed of the boat. Drag on the line could slow the fish down too, but all the errors in measurement are against the fish's speed; basically, we know the species can go _at least_ 80mph.
I'm with you on your comment. Let's hope the hook has been designed to either fall out or fall apart?? Do these conservationists ever consider the stress the black marlin experiences after being hooked and its struggle to free itself?
The hooks are not allowed to use stainless steel so they rust away pretty quickly. If you ever gut hook a fish and want to release it you are better off cutting the line than removing the hook. hooks go aay and when they are in the corner of the mouth like that they aren't so bad
Rumer Priestly why? he's not a fish. there is no comparison. fish have scales, people have skin, cupcake. differently configured nervous systems, lateral lines, etc.
This is low quality, poorly fact checked “science” content. I caught several inaccuracies in the first few minutes, that would be obvious to anyone with the slightest idea. Hope this guy isn’t making scientific content anymore, and is back doing Australian soap operas or selling real estate where he belongs
Let's hope the hook has been designed to either fall out or fall apart?? Do these conservationists ever consider the stress the black marlin experiences after being hooked and its struggle to free itself? No, I'm not an extreme 'treehugger'; I love science and enjoy asking questions. Peace out!
Most likely the hooks they are using are stainless steel circle hooks, with live baits. So the theory is that leaving the hook in the fish's mouth won't eventually kill it because in a relatively short period of time the hook will begin to rust and will either rust out completely or wiggle out due to the fish's movement or efforts to rub it off on something. This was an especially clean and fast release so there's no doubt in my mind this fish is still alive and kickin'.
I was thinking exactly the same thing, what unthinkable pain to be pulled by your mouth by a speed boat with a hook going through your tongue, throat, jaw, lip, cheek? All I could think is "ouch". And then they free it as if everything is fine, mad!
It's actually no longer rare in that there are literally tens of thousands of (amateur to pro photogs) out on the water now ( & more than capable) who can document the genuine without the subtle to extreme politics attached.
Mako sharks are the fastest. Sailfish and Marlin were clocked at high speeds from jumps. Not actual swimming speed. Because I will bet my life on it that no animal in the sea could travel up to 80 mph. It's not possible. Even with the design they have, and the strength....its not enough.

HighFiveGuy13 is your comment really necessary Rosie O’Donell?
You haven't been on a boat all day in the sun have you?
Had to fact check this and there seems to be enough data to show that sailfish are much faster at about 70 mph, and black marlin don't get anywhere near that
Black Marlin is the fastest. Pretty sure a biologist knows what is the fastest fish.
@@ryand141 As others have pointed out, this guy didn't even know he caught a striped marlin rather than a black. The speed of the black marlin , although mentioned on several sites, appears to be a myth
@@icopaseticMHF Sailfish have been caught by mako sharks so it's speed is the myth. Black Marlin are bigger, and way more powerful.

Um firstly the fish he caught was a striped Marlin and the "fastest fish spicies in the world" title goes to a toss up between the sailfish and the wahoo.
My vote goes to the Wahoo. The San Diego Long Range boat will tell you it the Wahoo and I believe them.
@@waterbug85 caught one in Cabo. On my wall. Felt like I caught a car
Salmon are much faster. Salmon going upriver in western Australia have been clocked at over 400 mph.
I once caught a 200 pound plus blue Marlin on a Penn 330 GTI reel spooled with 30 lb. Andi line on a 30 pound class rod. The fish took a baliyhoo swimming behind a blue and white Islander lure. It took 24 minutes and when we got her boat side we were two nautical miles from the hookup. That fish tail walked for a hundred yards and jumped at least six times during the fight .We fished from my 23 foot center consul Mako boat.
Lol. OK Skippy. And I bet you're big pants people too.
The commentator said that the marlin pulled the line out at a rate from which he calculated its speed to to be 80mph. Did he know whether the marlin was swimming towards the boat, away from it or what direction, does he know the speed of the boat? These factors would have a huge bearing on the speed at which the line ran out, and hence the real speed of the poor fish.
David Leigh well if it's pulling on the line then it's going in the opposite direction and the top speed of black Marlins is 80mph so the method works. Also this fish is fine, fish hooks fall out once they are cut from the line as there is nothing giving resistance.
He wasn't talking about this particular fish, just Marlins in general

Funny coincidence that the fastest fish in the world is Black

catch up* sorry bad english
Not quite sure I would call that fight muscle against muscle! You were using your muscles, but you had an awful lot of help from leverage and a massive boat.
And the ratcheting mechanism too. Yeah, it's not a very fair fight.
Also, it's sprinter (marlin) vs. endurance (human). And the human gets dinner whether or not they reel in the fish, heheh.
Ha ha. Imagine if he'd been floating in the water holding the rod? That would have been some fishy sleigh ride!
Great to see they let it go free
I felt so much pain while watching this. what is wrong with me. ;(
You’re a weakling
Not just you, this video reminds me why I hate humans.

It reaks of an early 2000s educational video with the hip hop in the background, and that narrator's voice
1:31 Aerodynamic?? A fish!?? Dont you mean hydrodynamic??
guys this is fake, i was there. i was the boat
what else happened on that boat
No its real, i was the marlin
I forgot everything but pain, I was the fishing rod.
Its fake, i was there, i was the atlantic ocean.
it is real i was there, i'm the tag...i'm still the tag
That tag causes drag on any creature they attach it to, penguins routinely lose weight cos they can't catch the fish they could previously. That tiny margin in reduced speed efficiency is the difference between life and death..
Veldtian1 do sardines go 80 miles an our, also the tag barely ways anything and won't cause the Marlin to slow down in the slightest.
Fishing for Science. Tagging the Black Marlin, the fastest fish in the ocean.
I learned something: this guy is a jag off
"aerodynamic" -- lol
Not a formula 1 fish. An f1 car is not design to reduce drag, it’s Desing to crest downforce = drag. A bus is more aerodynamically slick.
False. The Sailfish is the worlds fastest fish.
There in the same family
No. Neon tetras
False. Bears, beets, Battlestar Galactica.
Leigh Amanda HAHAHA i though i was the only one who thought of dwight shrute when he said that
False my ex is the fastest fish
he's going to japan for sure this weekend
But you showed underwater video of a sailfish
Next time you drive 80mps, remember that marlins swim that fast. 😂
Is the 80 mph reel striping accounting for the forward speed of the boat?
He said it's been measured. Not he's measuring it there and then.
Okay Jefferey I may be flat out wrong here but let me try and write down my thoughts. I don't think the speed of the boat matters. The fact that the reel is open and loose letting the fish pull on it freely actually controls for the speed of the boat. If the line were taut then the speed of the boat would probably pull the fish but I don't think the boat moving in the opposite direction would make a difference. Now that I do write this I think the boat traveling in the same direction might play a role on if the speed of the boat mattered but honestly I couldn't tell what direction the fish was traveling.
So if you google it says the Sailfish is the fastest fish. They said they measured this marlins speed by the line coming off the reel. Problem is the boat was also going a certain speed the opposite direction. That would skew the measured speed of the fish a bit. Still, very impressive though!
*hydrodynamic
But while he is measuring the marlin’s speed, the fish is going one way while the boat is going the other/opposite way. Wouldn’t the boat have to remain still or at least shut its engine down and just let the fish travel (with line in mouth) in order to get a more accurate fish speed reading?
Even then the heavy drag on the reel would slow him down.
The people getting the original readings almost certainly took official measurements while the boat was still, or subtracted the speed of the boat.
Drag on the line could slow the fish down too, but all the errors in measurement are against the fish's speed; basically, we know the species can go _at least_ 80mph.
Hmmmm so the hook stayed in his mouth, right ?????? not good....
I'm with you on your comment. Let's hope the hook has been designed to either fall out or fall apart?? Do these conservationists ever consider the stress the black marlin experiences after being hooked and its struggle to free itself?
The hooks are not allowed to use stainless steel so they rust away pretty quickly. If you ever gut hook a fish and want to release it you are better off cutting the line than removing the hook. hooks go aay and when they are in the corner of the mouth like that they aren't so bad
dreamwisperer you are no fisherman.
Rumer Priestly why? he's not a fish. there is no comparison. fish have scales, people have skin, cupcake. differently configured nervous systems, lateral lines, etc.
Hey SJW girl, the hooks fall out from rusting after a couple of days.
I don't understand how these things plastic threads can defeat such a beast
Hmm thanks for stressing this poor legendary fish.. couldn't they just observe it
That bloke that was fishing is the one from the peregrine falcon video.
This is low quality, poorly fact checked “science” content. I caught several inaccuracies in the first few minutes, that would be obvious to anyone with the slightest idea. Hope this guy isn’t making scientific content anymore, and is back doing Australian soap operas or selling real estate where he belongs
Baby fishes : so you really gonna ignore me
Let's hope the hook has been designed to either fall out or fall apart?? Do these conservationists ever consider the stress the black marlin experiences after being hooked and its struggle to free itself? No, I'm not an extreme 'treehugger'; I love science and enjoy asking questions. Peace out!
Most likely the hooks they are using are stainless steel circle hooks, with live baits. So the theory is that leaving the hook in the fish's mouth won't eventually kill it because in a relatively short period of time the hook will begin to rust and will either rust out completely or wiggle out due to the fish's movement or efforts to rub it off on something. This was an especially clean and fast release so there's no doubt in my mind this fish is still alive and kickin'.
+davis reed stainless steel doesnt rust
robotnik 99 lol all steel rusts. stainless is simply more resistant
I was thinking exactly the same thing, what unthinkable pain to be pulled by your mouth by a speed boat with a hook going through your tongue, throat, jaw, lip, cheek? All I could think is "ouch". And then they free it as if everything is fine, mad!
Fish don't feel pain, so aside from the stress, it didn't suffer.
Beautiful fish
not the same fish
Awesome
It's actually no longer rare in that there are literally tens of thousands of (amateur to pro photogs) out on the water now ( & more than capable) who can document the genuine without the subtle to extreme politics attached.
i thought sail fish was the fastest
Tuna.
Potato
Duh
Mako sharks are the fastest. Sailfish and Marlin were clocked at high speeds from jumps. Not actual swimming speed. Because I will bet my life on it that no animal in the sea could travel up to 80 mph. It's not possible. Even with the design they have, and the strength....its not enough.
You are right!
