Yeah its great to see aussies catch something other than whiting barra or whatever else they have,
Its a shame to see people on tv releasing fish incorrectly, no damp rag and sticking the scales in the gills ???

Really enjoyed that show. Have been watching this for a few weeks now. Couldnt help think. Those australians were over the moon .Lost count of how many times they referred to Tairua ,NZ amazing Kings ,Snapper.
Just think a Australian Film crew extolling the virtues of Fishing N.Z . Great. Could not  help thinking ,how long will it be before the Government recognizes the Dollar value of this sort of Fishing,and maybe gives it the support it deserves. As BAB said how amazing our fishery could be -world class if there were just a few more fish in the water.
The true value of our fish is in the water and not dead ones for export.
Sad but true that the officials with no vision at all make decisions about our fishery. Believe that will begin to change

Priceless

Be a few Aussies watch this and start thinking.

That is so obviously the way forwards for the economy and the fishery .
Just a pity that those in power that have a financial stake in major fishing company will see to it that there short term gain will win over from long term benefits for the country.
