Marlin jumps on deck of boat during Gold Coast fishing trip

A lucky Gold Coast fisherman has come incredibly close to being speared by a 70kg marlin in waters off Queensland.

The crew from Mufasa Sportfishing were 50 kilometres off Surfers Paradise competing in the Blue Marlin Bash when a marlin almost bashed them.


The footage starts with the fin of the Marlin in the distance thrashing around.

As the boat gets closer the fishermen fight hard to try and control the situation.

The bill of the game fish was centimetres from spearing a deck hand.

Luckily no one was injured in the encounter including the catch.
