Crazy underwater footage of marlin, whales and sea lions eating bait-balls off Cabo San Lucas.

Cabo San Lucas (November 24th, 2008)
Hi Folks,
You want to check this underwater video I made on Saturday. I took out world renown underwater photographers Doug Perrine and Marc Montchio to Golden gate banks for some underwater photography of the marlin, whales and sea lions chasing the bait-balls.
They were kind enough to let me jump in with them. It was incredible. I had a Bryte’s whale eat a bait ball 5 feet in front of me. He then continued right at me, but slipped under me. I reached down and ran my hand along his back and dorsal fin. Incredible!!!
Then to see the marlin and sea lions going crazy on the bait-balls just feet in front of my face. This experience tops everything I have done before.
I had some problems with my video camera that day, so I only got about 15 minutes of footage. I edited it down to 3 minutes. This is incredible stuff.
Sunday:
The guys squared me away with my camera and got me some fins. So I got much better footage on Sunday. The camera footage blew me away. I actually had marlin feeding right next to me and had to turn them away with the camera. The whale came at me from behind and underneath and spooked me for a second ate the bait-ball right in front of me. I got that on tape.
I am kinda miffed at myself for not having any extra batteries fopr my camcorder. I have loked all over Cabo and San Jose and couldn’t find any. I only get about 50 minutes of recording.
I will get the other videos out shorty.
Also, I will get a video out of Dr. Greg Van Zant catching and landing a triple striped marlin on the fly. Greg fished 7 days and caught 17 marlin on the fly. Amazing!
Tight Lines,
Grant
