Very cool, if slightly vertigo inducing...

He could have put the camera on self timer and threw it in the air.

I was standing on top of the tuna tower, and not sure how high I was, but it was up there . . .

I was shooting with a wide angle zoom lens . . .

In light seas, that's a nice place to be. But you don't want to be up there when it's rough.

RE #7-

"I was standing on top of the tuna tower, and not sure how high I was, but it was up there . . . "

I count nine rungs on the ladder. The rung sizes are not standardized in any way, but usually seem to be about 15--18" apart. Adding in guestimated freeboard, distance from gunwales to ladder mount, plus fudge factor, your feet were probably about 20feet above the waterline.
