[@Sonofawildanimal4241]

The locals taking it home and eating it is the best part of the story.

[@Thteve]

Tourists “ poor fish. Put him back in its home” Also tourist” I’ll have the fish and chips”

[@redlobster4841]

Lol..no chat

[@Rick_Foley]

That's most local boy move. Everyone like "oh, save it". Brah walks up and whips out a blade.

[@maybachyard]

A'u is good raw and cooked 🤣

[@gfgm3441]

all the tourists be sad.. but the locals ready to grind lol

[@daveyjoseph6058]

idk how much a whole fresh marlin is worth in hawaii but it can't be cheap

[@The.Hawaiian.Kingdom]

Between the fish in Kailua beaching themselves, the dead fish floating in Kahalu’u and this, I’m starting to think somethings going on.

[@b808t]

Climate change!

[@The.Hawaiian.Kingdom]

@@b808t I mean… maybe… but all the examples I listed above occurred within the last week, so it’s more likely something else, since climate change has been gradual, as opposed to occurring in the last week.

[@pako4857]

Don't forget about the 130 lb ahi that peached himself in magic Island Park last May

[@pako4857]

Beached not peached damn autocorrect

[@youtube8775]

Yeah, the reporter explained. Sometimes marine life gets disoriented. It's been happening for a long time.

[@rvca6037]

Poor fish bums me out that they didn't try let it go back in the 💦 water that's it's home:(

[@outlawbillionairez9780]

Humans are the stupidest animals.

[@The808Mixmaster]

That shit could cut the shit out of you bruh better to let it die

[@sbsk2526]

Releasing it back in the water wouldn't be a good idea safety wise with all the tourists & people in the waikiki beach water... in 2015 a man died in Hilo Harbor from being speared by a swordfish in the water.

[@Dyyll]

There’s still people in the water, if they release it right away, it could possibly injure someone.

[@rvca6037]

They clear people out of the water for sharks but not fish..💯

[@paulhartmann6473]

Should be more worried about what made it beach itself

[@sbsk2526]

Dummy 2:09 tourist trying to touch the Marlin's Bill... smh

[@Sharyk808]

She should have. Others can learn from her stupidity.

[@MCshadr217]

It's the best way to try restrain them, by grabbing a hold of their bill, better then letting them have free reign with it.

[@sbsk2526]

@@MCshadr217 Have you ever touched a marlin's bill with your bare hands? its not smooth its very rough like tough sand paper all around, fishermen uses gloves to handle marlin's bill NOT barehands, especially when its moving erratically like that you can definitely get hurt. Plus it looks like the guy just wanted to touch/feel it the way he was tapping it.

[@Sharyk808]

@@sbsk2526 It’s curiosity for those that don’t live near a coast or never saw a live fish. It’s lack of common sense to touch it/pet it while it’s thrashing. I would have called dibs on it.

[@missroseiam]

It certainly looks like it has a lot of life in it and wanted help getting back into the water 😢

[@curiousnomadic]

Yeah. I'm sure most the people in the crowd if they had a pair of gloves and weren't so barely dressed could have got it back in the water. Pretty dishonorable of them to kill it.

[@sustainablelifestyle7714]

@Curious Nomad what makes feeding your family dishonorable, dishonorable is someone who eats animals but refuse to acknowledge where the meat comes from

[@curiousnomadic]

@@sustainablelifestyle7714 They aren't feeding their family, they are being opportunists and feeding themselves and probably having beers and mac salad with it, and letting off fireworks later on. I don't disagree that it is dishonorable to not acknowledge where your meat comes from, but that has nothing to do with this. These opportunist scumbags and everyone there should have thrown them in the water.

[@surfpipeline]

this ain't savage times. im sure you're not on the Waikiki beach seeking out Marlins. fish never got a fair chance.

[@sustainablelifestyle7714]

@surfpipeline yes because the cows walking the slaughtering line who get to watch all their friends die before they head to their own death is fair chance, u live i ln a world with blinders on, when you go into the restaurant for dinner and order the marlin macadamia nut crusted marlin you are supporting the the fisherman who dragged it from the water and beat it over the head with a bat, that doesn't make him wrong and u right, that's u pretty much hiring a hit man to do a job that you want to pretend like it doesn't happen

[@XIII5XIII]

🤔 strange occurrence during full moon, only a kahuna would know...

[@outlawbillionairez9780]

Marlin Brando reincarnated.

[@cepaasch]

Release it in to my Yeti!!!

[@bigislandpyro8085]

😂😂sashimi

[@lf7184]

Shark chasing in or water temp making it move in. Since USN using new underwater signaling this happens more often too.

[@jewcyk8268]

I love it when locals are just there ready to butcher sh*t, I was driving through the Hoopa Res and the semi in front of me nailed a giant buck. Within minutes a pickup truck with guys packed into the cab and bed pulled up, everyone got out with big knives in hand and started quartering it right there.

[@krg8965]

One man's trash is another man's treasure. Sushi time 😂

[@nickwinn]

That's embarrassing and disrespectful to Aina, fish should have been led back out to sea.

[@Pebblejo]

That’s how easy to fish in Hawaii, you don’t even need a rod

[@hauolimeyers5109]

Feed the family... lol

[@Davis6437]

Running from the contaminated water from Japan lol

[@D21403]

Why didn’t someone drag the Marlin back in the water and save its life or call the SPCA. !!!!

[@freshpr796]

Was sold at Foodland !!! I saw him in the back of the Tacoma 😂😂

[@adambamf9365]

why did noone drag it back in??

[@kaeobermoy4401]

Leave it to the locals to handle things !!

[@srf2112]

Right in among the beached white whales.

Hey Donkey Kong, it’s your underwater ride

[@amanryan6803]

Meanwhile in Davos, Switzerland................

[@RatorGrimender]

Marlin Civeche is so good, if you're in Maui Lahaina, go find the local fish markets that make them. It'll come at a hefty price however.

[@kawikadavid8958]

Navy sonar screwed up its direction and made it go crazy.

[@808G8GT]

Yup, no suprise, today's society rather film/ spectate, than try to help. Not only in this situation.

[@charlierei9292]

I mean, the fish has a sword for a face...it wouldn't be wise to try and approach it. And by the time it stopped flailing. It was pretty much already dead due to exhaustion...

[@MCshadr217]

Yea so you're just gonna get in there, pick it up and take it back out are you? Marlin are notorious for giving one final attempt at stabbing their opponent when they finally tire out, there are hundreds if not thousands of stories of fishermen getting stabbed when reeling them in.

[@ArekSuroboyo1]

broke da mouth grindz

[@Travis66421]

Tourists are so fascinated with everything

[@jacobr4558]

Yes that's how traveling works. You visit places and cultures that are very different than yours so you find things fascinating. Imagine someone from Hawaii being in Alaska and seeing glaciers/Moose/Bald eagle etc.

[@magyaradam]

@@jacobr4558 exactly! That's the whole point of why I got to Oahu, it fascinates me, the different street signs, different cars, crossing, accents etc

[@getagrip964]

So are people in a bubble 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@Travis66421]

When you(maybe you) live in a major tourism location like me, you'll know what I mean

[@jacobr4558]

@@Travis66421 grew up in Hawaii and live in Las Vegas. Pretty familiar with tourism 😂

[@DavidZaG-]

someone got a free trophy fish

[@TheJodo2010]

Free lunch. I would have taken it home too. Well in my case back to my hotel. Pretty sure I can find a kitchen or a grill somewhere

[@suesfriend1431]

The French had a single engine Dewoitine in the beginning of WW2.

[@hwn8088]

There Were A Few Beached Whales 🐋 In Waikiki To But That Is Nothing New LOL 😆 😄 😂 🤣

[@sashakys]

how is seeing a marlin “gnarly” ? i swear these surfers be using the word “gnarly” for anything💀

[@redlobster4841]

It's gnarly dude! don't you know?

[@darrellpasion8925]

No locals uses that word that dudes a kook. Lol 😂 😆 🤣

[@jonm9538]

Looked pretty gnarly to me. Would you grab the tail or the nose?

[@andrewfreiji4647]

This fish was running away from something. He hoped that he could evolve legs and be able to live on land until he was comfortable to get back in the sea

[@808blacktaro]

If you hit it with a 3-prong, you'd have a world record for life. Or at least State!

[@obijuankenobi420]

Whats a 3 prong

[@808blacktaro]

@@obijuankenobi420 3-prong to Hawaii people. Hawaiian sling to non-Hawaii people.

[@curiousnomadic]

That sucks they killed it. Should have dragged it back into the water. Someone's got a pair of work gloves and jeans.

You have to cover its eyes so it calms down HELLO…… 😂

[@caseyberry6959]

Some locals were well epuiped to deal with is hahahah. Right on!

[@Heffey02]

There’s another video showing them try to put it back after it stopped fighting but it wasn’t moving anymore.

Is actually a swordfish

instead of saving it..just watch it and take video. Arent humans just amazing. Same as a shark video on Maui a while back, sum shit head local just taking video and pictures next to it.

[@jdmsll]

returning it to the wild would not only be unsafe, but also, you, nor any of the people taking video, would be paying for the man power and resources needed to safely return such a large fish to its natural habitat far and away from the people and commercial activity of waikiki...
