zmk1962 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Ola Raiders .... Thought I'd put the video (for those that are interested) into a new post to save everyone scrolling to the end of the original post. Some folks insisted I leave the "hook incident scene" in the video... it's about 7:26 min in so skip past to 8:55 if you are squeamish. It actually happened 6min after we started fishing the FAD. Hey @Fab1 it looks like I didn't squeal like a little girl after all ! There were lots of dollies landed, double, triple hookups etc. I cut out a much of the footage but the video is still very long, so skim ahead and watch the bits that interest you. Some people have asked me about Yamaha Helm Master EX Fishpoint (spotlock), does it work, how loud is it etc. So for the first 15min of the video, I have not overlayed music so you can hear and observe the motor in action holding position for live bait and later at the FAD.... does it work - yes. Note: recommend you watch in HD, also while catching yakkas, the noise you hear are the pumps filling the twin subfloor kill tanks, the motor is actually almost silent.

Fab1 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 loved the video mate I just watched it all. Old Bob loves to take photos when a man’s down.😂😂😂Luckily a Marlin didn’t spear you through the heart as I can just imagine Bob saying stay still Z so I can focus the camera.😂😂Great work fellas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fab1 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Got me thinking @zmk1962 . I had a mate years ago when growing up we went out on his dads boat and his father copped a gaff through the ball of his foot out the top.Ouch!!! He drove to hospital after pulling it out with us kids ( 13-14 yrs old) In tow to get it sorted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larkin Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Nice vid! Hand lines are definitely the go for live bait! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WOW didn’t think anyone would sit thru it all. C’mon, Bob is not like that .. he is very discreet with his photography… but I think he wasn’t happy with the shot… in the heat of the moment he couldn’t find the banana 🍌 10 hours ago, Fab1 said: Got me thinking @zmk1962 .

mrsswordfisherman Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Hysterical. Everyone just keeps fishing when “man down” sitch happens. Bob’s comment “when you can, pass the net” You guys are very comical. That event would go viral for sure if posted on socials. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks YF79, Jerry kept mentioning someone was going to be upset, as he sent photos 😁 ... BTW you are not alone, my regular fishing buddy Wayno also bailed on that day (because he went out with me earlier in the week and got a feed of flatties) ... and has regretted ever since!

big Neil Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Well, what an epic video of all the action, blow by blow. That's the sort of day that anglers dream of but seldom experience. Well done to you all and I hope that your leg has healed up properly Zoran. bn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zmk1962 Posted March 12, 2023 Author Share Posted March 12, 2023 Thanks BN. Definitely one for the memory books. The leg is just about healed - just two small scabs left. So no probs in that department. But I did upgrade the first aid kit after this escapade. It now includes a small spray bottle of isopropyl antiseptic, a small tube of betadine antiseptic, several large post surgery sticky patches and these compound pliers. I’ve tested them - they snip through an 8/0 live bait hook like butter. This would have made hook removal so much easier if I had them onboard. Donna @mrsswordfisherman M.A.S.H. is ready to deploy … just not during a hot bite. cheers Zoran 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big Neil Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Like a good boy scout Zoran, you are now well prepared. Hopefully, you won't need to use any of it. bn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonD Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Good to see the boat in action, though it did look a little hectic with all those fish. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madkanu Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Wow @zmk1962. That was busy day out on the water and must have been a ton of fun - even with the hook incident. Have you thought about producing an edit of the video at 2X with the Benny Hill theme music overlayed? 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
