Top 10 Fastest Fish in the Ocean Honourable mentions: Shortfin mako shark, black marlin, bonefish, tunny, tarpon Disclaimer: This list is using only verified speeds taking into account all types of action e.g. swimming, leaping, gliding. This list only takes into account fish and not marine mammals e.g. killer whales. It is claimed that fish such as the Black Marlin (Istiompax indica) can reach incredible speeds (80 mph or 129 km/h) however these speeds have only been estimated based on how fast a fish can initially strip a fishing line. see source

Deer Hunting With A 10mm Handgun

Deer Hunting with 10 mm Handgun wow what a shot and a great challenge for any hunter  to shoot a White tail deer with a handgun Salute. Deer Hunting with 10 mm Handgun  If there is one thing that hunters can agree on, it's the challenge of the sport that keeps us coming back for more. When a compound bowhunter loses the challenge and the thrill, oftentimes they might switch to traditional equipment to add a new challenge to the hunt. But that's bowhunting. What if you're a gun hunter? This season didn't start off well for me. One of the main properties that I hunt got leased by other hunters on September 30.

700 + lb Tuna on a 18 ft boat video

Fishing video of the day  712 lb Bluefin Tuna caught on 18 ft open center console fishing boat.   Fishing video description  Well, Nat and his client Ron had quite the fish yesterday. I will let him fill in the details but after tagging 3 fish in the morning Nat put out the last bait and watched it get devoured by a slob. In just about an hour, which is totally remarkable, Nat harpooned the fish which ended up being 101" and a whole body weight of 712lbs. A huge congrats to Ron, who did stand up to a giant, and obviously Capt. Nat for this amazing catch. Add to that, the fish was landed with a 12' 90lb fluorocarbon leader!!
