i had him boat side and

Sat, 2007-05-26 23:43

i had him boat side and tried to get the ggaff man [spurrie ]to take the rod of me so i could grab his and have a crack at his two big bros swimmn along side him.they needed a sadle and im hell bent on landing one of these beast next year.as far as pulling the boat .the run on "hurtsville" shoal ,just pisses ,so getting to the boat is one thing but lifting them into a clean gaff shot was more than half the battle .this fish got a pretty good gaff ,with a bit of a nick in the side of his jaw ,he released well ,but i tell ya its not easy trieing to jaw gaff them as to give them every chance of not being shark food

they were onslow caught
wally we would fish for bottom spiecies .then every arvo the call over the radio was

Definately money worth

Mon, 2007-05-28 13:52

Definately money worth spending if you're into it though. Especially on big poppers, so you can watch fish shove each other out of the way to smash it on the surface. Electric. And this coming from someone who hasn't even landed one yet, only constantly teased and frustrated.

how much 'big money' would it cost to join ya mitch ;) ;)
might have to try and organise a trip up your way.

bigger ey, the fish you boys are holding up look around the 20-30kg range, at a guess. I suppose with the bigger ones, its more a matter of them letting you land them, then you TRYING to land em, heh heh.

well done.

big money

after going on this trip i don,t think you could put a price on it.
as for taking other people i think you would have to be born or married into the brotherhood.

pic's and vid's

Wed, 2007-05-30 07:51

will get some pic's up soon and the vid's i will try to get together.

not sure if i should put a few different vids on or just break it all up and make one out of it.

we have quite a bit of footage and it may be too much for one, is there a size restriction on how long they can be or should we just make up one and send it to you Adam to sort out.

Wed, 2007-05-30 08:49

If you could send it over as one big movie that would be great frizza. Then I can break it up into a few vids or sort something once I've seen it. Looking foward to it from the teaser pics!
Just send to:
