Yep - and I hear some screaming reels. Anything landed? Or sharked?

Everything we hooked up got eaten by the man (heaps of them) in the grey suit..lol By the time i got the 24kg gear ready it was all over... Great fun and a fantastic experience thats for sure..

Wicked, got my adrenalin going just watching it. Oh how I miss the days of balls like that full of Sails in the Trench......

Nice video!! would have got my blood boiling too!

I saw the same water activity off Burleigh on the same day you took the video, 22/2/12. Was walking on the beach and saw seaguls diving in the distance! It's like if someone below was trying to boil the water! hectic!

what were the fish in the bait ball.. just mack tuna or was there other cool stuff amoungst it also?

[Chimo]

And what I liked was that the audio was not full of blue language so it could go to air; always nicer.

There was most pelagic species there. YFT, Mac T, Striped T, Spott Mac, Spanish Mac and the men in the grey suits... we lost heaps to the sharks... oh and i managed to get 2 birds tangled up whilst casting.. (returned unharmed )lol
it was pretty crazy
