LOL looks like a good way to die to me! Not many safety messages in that one if that was an NZ show they would be getting slandered

Great fish at the end, the rest seemed to be slick self-aggrandisement and a travelogue for the wealthy alpha male.

Thanks though Scuzzy, always interesting to see big fish from the shore. Striper are a beautiful fish, kind of like a kingi that jumps.

I don't know why you guys are seeing the down sides to the video, all I see is a few guys having fun and really enjoying what they do.
 
Thanks Scuzzy, great video. The other one is good too. Fancy fish that just lean against you that you canjust pick up.
Yes it was me, I screwed it up for everyone.

Insane - not sure you could call it all land based fishingLOL
Must be good reels
The solution to any problem - work, money, love, whatever - is to go fishing - the worse the problem the longer the fishing trip should be.

I think they're using Van Staals, very popular top end reels popular in the States, don't see them much down here. They're about $800-1000 I think.

Spot on bud.  Van Staal bailess reels.  Built solid as and plenty of drag in them... although a few guys using braid have lost their fingers putting the line back one when a fish strikes.

Cool video - not sure about the safety message - but then I wasn't born a pastor LOL

The part where they are fishing in wet suits out of the water - apparently there's this craze called skishing been around for a couple years - it's like an extreme form of surf casting. Probably not for the faint hearted...

"From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skishing

Skishing is a variant on saltwater shorefishing that involves wearing a buoyant wetsuit and swimming out from shore with flippers to fish with rod and reel (typically a surfcasting rod), often using live eels. It is practiced as a means of getting further out to sea in order to increase the chances of catching a fish and can be dangerous.[1] The term skishing is a portmanteau of water-skiing and fishing because when hooked the stripers pull the angler through the water.[2] Skishing has been described as extreme surfcasting.[3]

One enthusiast of skishing believes that "hard core" surf casters aren't fond of the activity and consider it cheating.[4]

Skishing was the subject of an article in Forbes magazine.[5] The activity was invented by Paul Melnyk, a cabinet maker from Montauk, New York. Melnyk has explained that the activity is similar of skiing because "if you hook a fish over thirty pounds, it will generally take you for a ride"."
