Yes - even when you cut their heads off those eyes still watch your movements... Sometimes when wading a good bit from shore out on the flats with water beyond your waist, even holding the fish all the way out of the water it'll try to leap and take a chunk out of you... Razor lipped %%^$&# fish...

Hey question for you - how do you release a fish from 100 feet / 33M in the air??

Thanks & great pics!

No probs
Well most of the smaller fish we through back do acually swim off fine but when i said release fish after we caught enough i ment fishing in general like down here in perth off our beaches etc

Its really good watching alot of people releasing fish in australia now. Everyone now realises that we cant take everything we catch. We have to fish for the future and take only what we need

I'll tell you - impressive stuff and a lot different than what we have here in the Northeast USA. Though we do have bluefish / tailors, ours can get to 7-9 kilos and occasionally bigger though I've hear your's can push 12-13 kilos.

Our sharks and tuna come from boat though one adventurous souls is going to land a Giant from the Canal some day

Most of us surf fishing for bigger fish - targetting 20-50# (10-25 kilo) Stripers, do so at night as these fish are much more nocturnal when along the shore. From boat it's around the clock...

Other than the standup gear on 10 rods and Alveys, we use a lot of similar equipment from Abu conventionals (multipliers) to VS spinners and such... Cool stuff. Oh, and little pressure

Damn, whaddya think folks? Road Trip?
