Shame the fish caught was actually a ray, so next drift he nails a big Dhuie, similar struggle but a far better photogenic fish. This time no footage but a good couple of pics so I couldn't resist putting them at the end of the vid.

Hate to dispel the grand illusion but that's what actually happened. Not every fish you call for a dhuie is a dhuie and not every fish I call for a Ray ends up being a ray....hey Shamu. (Hehehe)

A great battle all the same. The old man was huffing and puffing for just over 15 mins. I was worried about him having a heart attack.

Update on my Mum (Rod holder gouged her shin last weekend) she is in Royal Perth and just had plastic surgery to put a skin graft over the massive wound. The 24 stitches didn't knit the wound. They had to cut out a few inches of flesh too so she has a huge hole in her leg now. All that from a piece of pvc pipe used as a rod holder. At least she is feeling better now and should be out in a couple of days. Thanks to all the well wishers on an earlier thread.

So team SSS, next time you are fishing flat rock or loonies, watch where you are walking / staggering after a few bourbons, those rod holders are dangerous.

sorry to hear about your mum mate... wish her a speedy recovery...

havent watched the vid yet.... but will later tonight

Onya Sid, you teach that Dhuie who's boss. Just watched both the vids, great stuff, interesting techno mixups happening there. ;)

The Dhuie was on the next drift but I didn't have footage of it.

Sid is now a star in the over 60's club he attends. I just have to get a pic of him into FWA and he will be a very happy man.

The techno isn't my personal cup of tea but it allows for a bit of beat timing into the video editing, which I think goes down well.

That Jamendo site has some really good stuff on it.
