Default Hand catching marlin

I don't know if this is real or a hoax. The footage of him splashing into the water seems real, but the marlin was either fake or in a state of shock. When he released the fish, the video seemed pretty seamless. The fish seemed to swim away in the way one does after a long battle. Also, how was the water cameraman so right on the spot as to video the actual capture? A possibility is that the recovery boat and cameraman had just released the marlin, now with so much lactic acid in his system that he couldn't swim away. Whatever the result, it must have been an expensive video to make.
