This Fish Tale Is Caught On Tape
(CBS)
Everyone knows that fisherman love to tall tales.
But Jeff Morrow has the proof to back his up, because it was .
Earlier this month, in a tournament off the coast of Guatemala, Morrow, a lawyer from Jacksonville, Fla., hooked a feisty sailfish from a tiny, inflatable kayak.
Morrow told The Early Show co-anchor Julie Chen Wednesday he was in the thick of the contest when he and a friend suddenly decided to alternate on a kayak and go fly-fishing for sailfish.
In all, Morrow and the friend reeled in four fish and one dolphin from the kayak, and many other fish from regular boats.
But his sailfish adventure is the one he'll remember.
The friend, on a nearby boat, captured the scene on camera.
Watching the video along with Chen, Morrow explained that he caught the sailfish with a fly-rod.
All the fish caught in the tournament were released unharmed, and Morrow says at one point on the video, where it appears he and the fish are struggling, he's actually attempting to position it to remove the hook so he could free the fish.
Was he scared?
