Scratchie Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 He actually caught 2 that day! The one that is pictured was 94kg and the smaller one at 73kg! There is a YouTube of its capture! Wonder where it is? They got a boat to come on and take them away. Amazing footage! Cheers scratchie!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amkr Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 kind of cheating a little... Getting dropped off on an offshore island and calling it 'land based' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 4myson Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 (edited) kind of cheating a little... Getting dropped off on an offshore island and calling it 'land based' My point Exactly ! How can you have boats involved & call it land based ??? Like I said "DREAMING" !!!! Edited July 24, 2015 by 4myson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scratchie Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 kind of cheating a little... Getting dropped off on an offshore island and calling it 'land based' Landing a tuna that size off terrafirma no matter whether they have been dropped off there or swam there is a massive task! It certainly puts the odds in the fishes favour as structure, conditions and the ability to land the fish all lean towards the fish pulling hooks. It's hard enough trying the same feat from a boat with the ability to chase the fish in deep water let alone land based. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevefish Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 It's still land based, you can't move, you can't chase or move off the fish, and have to get the fish up on the ledge Have a look at the old days down the coast. http://www.fishingheritagejervisbay.net.au/subsbobby3.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyNurse Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Thought for a moment that hill looked like Cape Hawke, but that's not right. It is very east coat looking, but it could be anywhere.Apparently the guy won't divulge the location. Can't say as i blame him. Looks idyllic!

Guest no one Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I've seen a few of the guys videos from last year, he gets spooled in a couple. But the fish is taken by boat, do you expect him to carry 90kg up a cliff? I think it's an island, fair play to him landing a fish while based on land (land based) but it certainly doesn't look like an accessible platform like it's made out to be!

Squishy Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 You and your technicalities!!! Amkr showed me this this morning... how the hell does that guy fight something that big and stay standing! Its a pretty cool feat in my book! I have no idea what catching fish from land is like, so this seems pretty crazy after watching shows like Wicked Tuna to base my idea of how much fight these fish have and how long it can take them to tire. Go him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amkr Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 These are different to wicked tuna fish. The ones on the show are bluefin, these are yellowfin, I'm pretty sure they are half the size. On the show they get 1000lb tooona, 450kg. These yellows are like 100kg, not saying he would have thrown it over his shoulder and walked home, just it's a different fish.

PM79 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 (edited) I read that he wrecked a Stella on the previous fish, insane. It's still land based, you can't move, you can't chase or move off the fish, and have to get the fish up on the ledge Exactly.

NaClH2OK9 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 No, but I don't expect him to get dropped off in the spot by boat either [emoji14]Everyone uses transport to get to their fishing spot. What does it matter. Car. Bus. Boat or helicopter. Massive result!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Squidy Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 My guess is Lord Howe, I know they do spinning of the stones there for good size YFT at times. Incredible capture. R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossfire63 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 (edited) The only way into this spot is by boat. Only fishable when its dead flat. I've fished it a couple of times before. Didn't do as well as that though. The ship in the background and weigh in at the wharf should give you location pretty easily Edited July 24, 2015 by Crossfire63 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camo1808 Posted July 24, 2015 Author Share Posted July 24, 2015 Haha i am loving everyones opinions. I agree that we all get to land based spots regardless of the method of transportation in regards to boat car helicopter we all need to travel to the spots. I love that site stevefish. Didnt really how great the "good ol days" were if only it was still the same. I think this is a remarkable achievement from land based and i wouldnt share the spot either haha.

Jc2230 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I think this is the third big yft he has spun off the stones? First two were caught using a 30000 stella (youtube clip) and this one with a Saltiga. 95 percent sure it is a long flight from Sydney to this particular (island) location! Big effort!

You are talking about the YouTube footage where he gets a 94 and 73 on a Stella 30000. This fish is 104 and taken on a dogfight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you talking about Jamestown? You want to point out I'm incorrect on what? This particular fish isn't one of the 94kg or 73kg he caught? You may be correct with that but it's the same guy and my primary suggestion was that there was footage for this guy on youtube. I suggest you stop looking for, what you think are small indecrepensies and put up a fishing report of your own with some substance in it. I can't ever recall you placing an actual fishing report!
