I was so nervous my knees were knocking together. Figured we must have had a solid hookup considering how many times he went tailwalking after smashing the lure. So many stories of the one that got away kept entering my mind and never being able to live down the, you let it get away. Can also say I've never felt as satisfied as landing a fish and then letting it go.
Was a truly special day that I won't be forgetting in a hurry. :) Cheers for the kind words.
Thats a bit steep! Cmon Funky, you know you were the video man. Can't believe you turned the video off thou, I would have enjoyed just watching the ocean waiting for it to erupt. :)
Great shot, and from all accounts fantastic teamwork from a well oiled machine........ (probably well oiled from the night before singing and dancing with all the backpackers).(Hehehe)
hey you knew there were plenty to go round.....Its all about timing. they were the best damn burgers I've had for a long time I would have hated to miss out!!
sh!t you need a pair of water ski's if you leader man on that baby...
bloody awsome shot guys and top catch & release.
