This Fish Tale Is Caught On Tape

Lawyer On Tiny Kayak Reels In Large Sailfish

(CBS)  "It was a very exciting form of fishing. I was frightened and so was the fish. My eyes would look right on the fish's eyes, he was so close to me. And I could feel his fright and he could probably feel my fright."

At times, Morrow added, "It was like a bull coming at me. He charged the boat a couple of times with the bill."

At one point, the fish jumped out of the water and almost hit the kayak as he came back down.

"It took me about three-and-a-half miles, about over an hour, drug me around in the Pacific. … We were in about 2,000 feet of water."

Morrow came through it unscathed.

He says it was "primeval, almost. It's other-worldly. The way that works is that he just drags your boat around, so you're not pulling back so hard. You're basically on a sleigh ride, and it's very exciting."

Morrow is a founding member and the current president of the Southern Sailfish Association, a non profit organization that bills itself as being made up of "sportsmen who care." The group says its mission is "to promote the catch and release of billfish globally, and to promote medical, legal, and financial assistance to indigent residents of Central America, South America, and Africa.
