Re: Famed Angler Stewart Campbell Pulled Overboard by Marlin

"Sorry! But what an Idiot" ----No I read your post correctly. You called someone you knew nothing about, "an idiot".

"I know you probably are right up there with the famed Stewart Campbell and I respect you and your fishing abilities "--This post has nothing to do with my abilities, but in fact it is about how you judged someone and expressed yourself.

Re: Famed Angler Stewart Campbell Pulled Overboard by Marlin

Big Deal!!!!! I call a hundred people Idiots everyday....Including myself most of all for responding to this nonsense!!!!!! DROP IT ALREADY!!!!!! OMG!!

Re: Famed Angler Stewart Campbell Pulled Overboard by Marlin

The thing that struck me most in the video was how he went over like a sack of potatoes

He probably fought that fish for some time, being they were at the leader, yet that marlin with one shot, tossed that guy in like it was nothing.

Big Game fishing - stuff like that happens..

This man was a giant in the sport fishing world, he was the first individual to catch two grander blue marlin, 1141 lbs. and then three days later 1038 lbs. He held 15 light tackle world records, (fishbox and problem fisherman--how many do you have??), he held the record for most giant blue-fin tuna caught in one day- 73, He was named to the IGFA Hall of Fame and was an IGFA Trustee. He passed away August 4th, age 79. I met him once, you two need to know more about your hobby before you pass judgement on others.

I see the mate hand lining the fish for a tag or what ever.
Then I see the "FISHERMAN" unwrap the line from the eye closest to him.
It seems to be clear at that time.

AS FOR SPELLING I corrected yours for you.
I have never seen anyone get knocked for spelling.

I have fished for around 47 years, numerous Sharks and Tuna up to 747 pounds here in NJ.
I made a sound system to attract sharks out of the old two way speakers that used to be used on desks. I waterproofed them and hooked them up to a tape player and played many kinds of music to the fish until we found out what worked best.

I have no world records. Do you?

I like to see pictures and stories like this posted so a dialog will be started to make people think about what they would do.

Have a great fishing season and stay safe.

Whats with all the respect crap? We saw a video, i didnt know him, never got the chance, dont really even know who he is all that well, you wanna call him a moron, idiot, wimp, loser, WHO CARES.. opinions are just that, opinions..

I bet there are some captains on here who have seen less fish and smaller fish including marlin then some of us "easy chair" people on the site.

You guys get to damn touchy when it comes to this stuff.

there are 10000000 different things that he could have done or could have happened differently... He got the line wrapped, honest opinion? MATES FAULT.

Him getting pulled over was no fault of his own, and because someone calls him an idiot or whatever rich, give me a break, they are not bashing him or his credentials..

Relax yourself ladies.. He hooked a big marlin and got pulled over the side of the boat, he lived through it. Call him what you want, who CARES!!!!!!!!!

I wouldnt get this cry babyish if you called my wife an idiot, and your not even in bed with the guys.

RIP Stewart Campbell
