This is some AWESOME underwater footage shot by Terry Maas of Striped Marlin, Dorado (AKA Mahi Mahi), whales and some seals attacking a bait ball of sardines. After about 4 minutes you?ll see how the Marlin uses its spear to injure or kill its prey. You can actually see how the Marlin spear the sardines as they attack the bait leaving sardines bloodied and battered.

What happens is the sardines get scared by the predators and they school up in a circle for protection creating a ?bait ball?. As fish circle and with no where for the bait to retreat, the bait ball the gets tighter in an effort to stay as far way from their inevitable doom.

I?ve seen some really great underwater footage from professional videographers. But I?ve never seen such clear footage of how Marlin attack their prey and to boot the YouTube codecs are awesome giving a much clearer picture that you used to get. If you have a broadband connection definitely watch the HD version.
