這是 2009 年三月時拍攝這組照片時的故事。很多影迷都覺得這個故事很扯，我是也覺得蠻扯的。但是要是真的，那真的是非常歡樂啊。

Comments: Not having much saltwater fishing experience himself, but a big fan of Hemingway’s Old Man and the Sea, Christian was excited for this setup. In between film changes, he practiced his casting into the surf and worked the lure further and further out each time. At one point, he unintentionally and inadvertently hooked something. The something turned out to be a 425 pound Blue Marlin that pulled him off the rocks, into the ocean. Waist-deep, he fought the fish for nearly two hours before finally battling it to the beach and beating out the previous local Blue Marlin record by 45 pounds. To celebrate, Christian treated the entire crew, as well as the medium-sized crowd that had gathered, to tequila gimlets at a nearby bar.

翻譯：
Christian Bale 雖沒有太多海釣的經驗，但身為海明威小說「老人與海」書迷的他很期待這次的攝影設計。在拍照期間換底片時，他不斷對著海浪練習著拋竿，每次都越拋越遠。其中一次，他不小心勾到了某個東西。一看，原來釣竿的另一端拖著他離開岸邊岩石的是一尾重達 425 磅的藍槍魚。他被拉進了海中，水深及腰，他在水中與那尾槍魚格鬥了兩個多小時，最後終於把它拉上岸。他所釣到的槍魚比之前最重的多了 45 磅，更新了當地記錄。為了慶祝這個成績，Christian 招待了整組工作人員，也邀請了一小群圍觀的民眾，大家在附近的酒吧舉起龍舌蘭酒杯同樂。

當初也有影片喔。Falco San 找到的。

而攝影中我最喜歡的是他與 Sibi 姊姊休息時候兩個人晒恩愛的模樣。
