Meet crazy Matt – the angler

Thomas Watson invented the telephone. Yeah, what an invention! But this was – as we all know – a double tracked happening together with Mr. Bell. And therefor something to be expected back in these days. Now, another Watson came up with another idea, which is truly unique and unexpected!

Meet crazy kiwi Matt Watson, the worlds most offbeat fisherman there is. Since his appearance at the David Letterman show he became pretty popular. But for some he still might be worthy to mention. Matt might have had the same thought as the Old Man and the Sea: “To hell with luck. I’ll bring the luck with me.”

So, he fishes a marlin on a surf board (yes, thats right) - fighting over 90min and getting dragged out to the sea for about 11miles -, or on his very bored days he jumps out of a chopper, dives into the sea and grabs out another marlin. Check out these and other impressive footages of crazy Matt!
