Looks like 2 shafts and a float line. Doesn't take balls, just the right equipment for the job.
Balls is to shoot one with a freeshaft. Skillz is getting him to the boat.

Do you think that fish took him for a long ride after he had a spear in him?

Nope, like I said he shot that fish with his spear attached to a floatline with what looks like aircraft cable. The spear was not attached to his gun. I would imagine there is a another floatline just out of the picture since it looks like he put 2 spears in him.
If you guys want to see footage of how this works you should watch Offshore Adventures on ESPN. The had an episode a few weeks ago where they were shooting wahoo and tuna like this.

I saw that episode. The one were it pulled it down so fast that it imploded the bouy. Pretty cool stuff.

Looks like the guy is riding in a zodiac (inflatable boat)-
IS that just the little chase boat?

It should have with that azz shot he made on him
Tom..trust me...the only ballz it takes to shoot a fish with a freeshaft is the $ you spent on the shaft. I have chosen to freeshaft many large fish in midwater to avoid the asskicking if I didn't stone them.
