Reporter- Hello, my name is Bob and I am with KNB News. Today, we are here with a local hero, Santiago.     He caught one of the largest marlins our town has ever seen. He is here with us today to share his experience.

Santiago- Well, it all started one day on my boat. I was fishing just like any other normal workday. I had not caught a single fish for 84 days! My apprentice, Manolin, was not with me that day due to his parents request. I set up my lines and hooks when suddenly, I got a pull from deep, deep into the ocean. I somehow manages to get the marlin on my hook. We then struggled for days, both of us trying to win.

Reporter- So you and the fish played tug-of-war for days?

Santiago- That is correct

Reporter- Well obviously, you won, right?

Santiago- Right, but after I strapped the marlin the my boat, the blood from its body was pouring into the ocean. Then came the sharks.

Reporter- So what were you thinking at this point?

Santiago- I was trying to think of the fastest way to get out of there without the sharks stealing my precious catch. Even though I did a decent job of fighting back the first litter of sharks, they kept surfacing. I couldnt stop them before devouring everything but the carcas and bones. I was just... discouraged. So I went home, went straight to sleep. When I woke up, I was the towns hero.

Reporter- Wow, that is a truly amazing story. Sadly we are out of time, but thank you for letting us interview you today.

Santiago- It was my pleasure.

Reporter- I am Bob with KNB News, have a great day.
