Video footage of marlin needed

[Steve Pitts]

I wonder if anyone can help?

I'm putting together a film on fishing in the Caribbean, which will feature our experiences of the species and methods of fishing around Tobago.

I have some good footage of the run-up to a blue marlin strike, but the fish wasn't hooked, so I'm missing the real action shots of playing a blue, tagging and release etc.
I would really love to include this species, but without the essential action, the existing footage is bit of an anti-climax.

Do you have any digital video of blue marlin, or do you know of anyone who has some film and who might be willing to let me include it in our film?

I'll give full credit to anyone who can provide such footage and will also give a couple of copies of the completed film (DVD) which should be finished and available by late summer. I'll cover any costs involved in sending tapes to me and will of course return footage almost immediately, once captured, which should be less than 1 week turn-around.

I'd be eternally greatful if anyone could offer assistance with this request.

Here's hoping someone out there can help.

Regards
Steve
