A couple of staff members headed up north yesterday to play tug of war with some land based Samson fish.
Check out Billy's fish caught on a herring using a heavy handline in the early hours of the morning!

He Came out with all his fingers still. Played it smart and used gloves.

Well done. That's one beast
Well done. That's one beast on a hand line . Even with gloves on it would have caused a bit of pain .

Handlines
Had a spot off Yallingup that held heaps of big sambos, every time I took mates out to pull the gear we would stop there, All right blokes, this is a handline only spot and hand out 200lb handlines and then sit back and watch the fun as fingers got burnt, spools spinning across the deck, blokes swearing at me , total laugh on my part but not so funny on theirs.
Yet, there is nothing better than feeling the power of the fish through a hand line compared to rod and reel.

Good old handline....I
Good old handline....I remember working at Varanus island Mid 2008. fishing the rocks and jetties with fresh squid, running sinker with single 8/0 hooks...if you lipped hooked a decent shark it was hang on or go for a swim....Until the hook straightened.
