arpie Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 OMG!! Did you ever see the NZ guy (Matt Watson) that jumped from a helicopter onto a marlin, or the footage of the big snapper taking the whole kawhai/Australian Salmon. Our library is getting in some great fishing dvds. I've just spent the last 1.5hrs watching him pull in a marlin from his jetski & a bluefin tuna in a tinnie using rope!! Pretty amazing stuff!! All these stunts take months of preparation & shouldn't be attempted on your own. Pretty incredible footage! Fun to watch CHeers Roberta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mik Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Hey Roberta, I've been a BIG fan of those guys for awhile now. I reckon the two best (Well, for me anyway as I love the underwater footage & fantastic action shots) is the Waganella Banks DVD & the Giant Tune one. The Tuna one has some awesome footage of nutter Matt in the water with missiles twice his size shooting out of nowhere grabing fish from him & the Wanganella Banks has what I think is the best display of masses of Marlin all lit up behind the boat. They have a 5 (Dunno what that is, quintuple?) hookup at one stage and also in the bonus footage there is a simply amazing peice with a marlin that gets completley stripped to the bone by a giant squid & I mean COMPLETLEY stripped. His stunt fishing stuff is hilarious too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mik Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 I bought all mine from various tackle shops. Just ask for "The Fishing Show", made by Kiwi's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh88 Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Dont mean to burst everyones bubble but whilst over in NZ i brought up this topic with our charter guide and to put it nicely he wasnt a fan of Matt Watson. The marlin helicopter jump is a fake, the filming of him jumping out the helicopter and the footage of him landing on the marlin were taken 6 months apart. What happened was they played a marlin to the boat until it was nearly dead and he jumped off the front of a cruiser onto the marlin, they just put it together to make people think he jumped from the chopper onto the marlin when he really didnt. Some of the other stuff he's done is pretty cool though.....makes you think whether its real or not though. Cheers Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mik Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Personally I don't care if its faked or not. It's great entertainment through an avenue I love - Fishing. I know I'd watch him 100 times over than one Millie Vanilli performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arpie Posted February 21, 2010 Author Share Posted February 21, 2010 Josh - You've shattered my faith in any fishing video now! How do we know that anyone has done anything with absolute assurance of 'no faking'? ....Personally I don't care if its faked or not. It's great entertainment through an avenue I love -..... I agree, Boofhead - terrific entertainment value! I'll have to see that clip again, tho, to see a difference in clothing etc! I did think it was a bit dumb jumping in with his sunnies on tho - they obviously didn't stay on underwater! Cheerio Roberta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
