Stupid thing had to go back for seconds, cheers davo
It's an exhilarating feeling catching a fish
But it's an even better feeling releasing them

That old vid was taken on a Subsea 7 job about 200klms from Broome WA, I was working on a construction vessel not far away when they sent that vid too us. That ROV operator had also previously pulled a tiger shark out of BOP which had done a heap of damaged to the hydraulic lines, quite common offshore,
I think there is a vid also of a swordfish which had pierced a wire mesh reinforced rubber transfer hose good for 500bar carrying crude oil off Africa somewhere, the hose had to be recovered to remove the sword and ended up costing millions$$$. (the deck crew ate it).
