did you see the vampire fish episode... terrible editing! he was fighting one fish on two rods, one spinning, one convench (that he flipped upside down and reel backwards ) but the made it look like it was one fish.. bugged me the entire fight.

ugly looking thing though. watch your toes!!

Just saw it online

Just saw it online at http://channel.nationalgeographic.co...ideos/06848_00

55 lb goliath tiger fish on a Penn spinning reel.

I hope he counted his fingers after releasing that fish back into the Congo.

Impressive predator!

Haven't seen the stingray episode yet but I did watch last week's. IMHO the editor who put those shots of two different rod & reels should be fired.

I saw that, and ya that was pretty hideous, I guess they think fishermen are morons and wouldn't notice something that obvious or the editor is a moron and hasn't a clue about fishing.


that stingray was huge

is the backward reeling legit in some areas? it almost looked like it was on a spinning rod with the first guide oversized a bit
