You wanna fish fight, how about this!

Post by Mike J »

All of us like a fish that doesn't give up easily, a fish fights back is what we really like.

The scream you hear is the PE8 (100lb) braid going through the guides :laughs:




The guy with the grey hair is the engineer who designed the rod blanks. :worthy:

Is that the right video? All I see is a guy in an orange T-shirt lifting 10kg off the floor with a bendy rod. :shrug:

Just had a look, nice fish to.
The guy is using a Black Magic stand-up harness, a NZ design that is very comfortable as you actually sit in a padded bucket and your back is supported by a brace across the kidney area, note the safety line incase of problems.
Notice that for much of the fight the rod is hardly loaded because the fish is actually pulling the boat around, which has happened to me when Ive fought big fish from my own 6m boat (even with 30lb mono).

Bluefin are becoming more common in our waters and some who use the right methods have been catching Albacore and smaller species but keeping it under wraps.
We need more DIY anglers like these guys, the fish are there but the commercials want to keep them for themselves.

I have actually fished with him.
The shop is quite famous in Pompy as the back wall is completely covered by the ensign of the Ark Royal he was given when the ship was decommissioned.

Im sorry but I cannot accept the killing of any bass of that age or size.
