Now there's a headline you don't see every day.
So would you believe me if I told you I just watched a vintage video of a cornball comedic actor playing a janitor who plays with and brakes a giant fake Kovalovsky prop reel as a lead in to a man fishing for marlin from a blimp with a real Kovalovsky Type I Standard Model 16/0 cradle reel?
Well I recorded it with my I-Phone ...... seriously ...... watch it for yourself

What a story that would be if it was done today. The reel ain't bad either.

No reels or Marlin were harmed in the making of this film!

How would you like to be the guy in that blimp trying to subdue a very hot bill fish when it was pulled aboard!
