Holy mackerel! It sounds like they didn't run with it long enough. I've never seen anyone just bring in a marlin right after it was hooked. Maybe there will be a follow up to this with more details.

Did you ever see the video where they are backing down
on a marlin and it comes over the transom?
Destroys every bit of tackle in the cockpit and broke someones arm I think. You can hear the captain screaming,
"Get that fish out of my boat!!!".
