Marlin 4 Mako's Lunch

GO FISH: A striped marlin is attacked by a mako shark. Picture: Al McGlashin Source: The Courier-Mail
A MASSIVE mako shark rockets from the inky depths, pushing aside a diver to attack a large marlin just as it was about to be set free.

Fishing journalist Al McGlashan yesterday described the encounter, off Port Stephens on Wednesday, as "the most amazing scene I've witnessed in more than 30 years on the water".
Mr McGlashan had jumped overboard to photograph the 2.5m striped marlin, being held by its spear beside his boat by a crewman, when the monster struck.
"It then started munching down towards its tail, biting down and shaking its whole body to rip flesh off," he said.
