Video Gallery: When Animals Attack
The Calm Before the Storm: Angler Stephen Schultz has hooked the fish of a lifetime—a 500-pound blue marlin off Panama. The fight appears to be near the end as Schultz has reeled the marlin within 30 feet of the boat.
Then the You-Know-What Hits the Fan: The marlin leaps out of the water—almost as if to see where the angler is—then it suddenly tail-walks straight to the cockpit and knocks Schultz out of the fighting chair with 500 pounds of fury. That’s gonna leave a mark.
The Check-Your-Underpants Factor: This one scores 9 out of 10. When I used to work at Salt Water Sportsman magazine, we interviewed Schultz’s father just days after this happened, who said Stephen suffered four broken bones in his face and lacerations in his throat.
What’s so amazing about this attack is how much ground the marlin covers in such a short amount of time. From the time the fish jumps to when it strikes the angler takes only three seconds. But I imagine from Schultz’s point of view, that three seconds felt more like three years.

For a guide, this part of their job is the most sickening thing for them to do. Those Guides that are true to the sport see no glory but they do know its part of their job to serve and to protect the client. Notice the guide didn't have a scope, good call Mr Guide!
I'm very shocked that the one guy didn't shoot anybody else that was around him when the lion got between them all.
Great shooting, sir. Three bears dead, an adult male, an adult female, and her cub (though obviously the cub died later from starvation, or was killed by another adult bear, due to the fact that the mother was no longer around to protect/feed it). I'm just glad to know that that little cub didn't suffer needlessly. I'm going to make sure and show this video to my young son, so I can teach him how real men are supposed to act. Again, jolly good shooting.
Did that guy spray elk urine in his mouth. I think this guy needs to see a therapist.
That would be so scary having a marlin jump up on you like that!
with that lion u need a dubble 12 or 10ga wih triple oght buck a point and shoot gun
The ones with the bear and the lion are very scary. I would freak out if a lion or momma bear started charging me. Luckily, those guys knew what to do and werent hurt.
these movies are all really cool
This guy had it comming because he put a ton of buck scent on. I've seen thi one before.
wow. didnt look that hurt in the video
that buck gave himan beatin
The best weapon to use for hunting is one that the hunter is comfortable with.
the best way to let pike go is just get them out of your hands asap
wow talk about dangerous game that bear came out of no were!
