Established photographer John Schwartz captured the image of a lifetime this week at the Hawaiian International Billfish Tournament. A huge 550lb Marlin took on to a lure that was strung out for two days. John was inside the cabin, but he heard the commotion outside and quickly grabbed is 300mm [Nikon] rig. During the struggle with the line, the fish came within feet of the boat, before slamming into it. At the last moment, the line snapped. Be sure to check out John's Blog.
