bloody fool if you ask me. they were talking about this sort of stuff the other day saying how unresponsible people taking risks and other people trying to save the fools when they know its wrong,and paying for there own rescues.?????? thats my point anyhow.cheers bdowdy..brett
Fairly safe to say the guy is a lunatic
Rockfishing can be great fun although you need to have your brain engaged and be sensible about it - this bloke doesn't fit in that category at all!
What a d$%%^*d
Looks like it's going to be 100% for the vote, he's a ########, or worse.
It's all fun until the turkey gets into trouble and the VMR/AirSea rescue have to fish him out of the briney.
I think there should be some sort of guideline set in place for rescues and who pays. If you go out in winds of more than say 30kn and high seas or bad weather you should be made to foot the bill. If the weather is the fault of the WB's error, and you get caught out you are not liable.
What a complete noodle. I can only hope that that fish was a happy moment.

another clip from a Jacka$$ movie
Fishing from rock ledges in swell like that is just plain stupidity.....The fellow has an obvious death wish.

Spose he thinks it was worth it for the fish. bl@@dy idiot.
Cheers

Looks like it was more about the adrenaline rush then the fishing.
Thats cool ,as long as he doesn't expect his mates to go in after him if he ends up in the drink.
I just think he is a macho D***. What sort of loser fishes with that sort of risk for that sort of fish?
Kind of like how I don't understand why people go offshore and are pleased to come home with a feed of flatties??? Someone should tell them you can catch flatties in your local creek!!
Anyway, I think he is a dumb ass and I am sure will come unstuck sooner or later.
Good to see some darwinism in action
The stupid really do die early in life
"light gear big fish big fun"
My great Uncle retired a year ago, moved from england to a little fishing village in south America. His second day into retirment went fishing down the rocks and died... happened in the blink of an eye.
anyone who risks their lives like that is selfish and a complete idiot.
here's the response from the guy who was there:
quote:
In response to numerous comments as to my sanity or lack thereof, here’s the story behind the video.
I grew up less than 1 mile from this spot and have fished from this rock since I was 12 years old. As young kids in the local surf club, we’d come here to body surf bigger waves than these, back into the deeper waters behind where we fish. While I don’t advocate reckless behaviour on the rocks, I have been a rock fisherman all my life and I figure I’d be the best judge of a situation that I put myself into.
I knew the tides, the wind, the swell, I watched it for 1 hour. There was a ground swell, so there was always that possibility it could get lumpy, even though the tide was well on the way down. Accordingly, I told the others not to fish unless I gave then the nod …….. and the rest you saw.
The freak set I said could be a possibility, became a reality, so rather than surf it effortlessly to the deeper pool behind, I instead confronted it and saw it through. It’s no giant feat or act of irresponsibility either, it’s just a bit of fun at a fishing spot I love and know like the back of my hand.

Hi all.
I know the guy that did the deed. I know the guy that filmed it. To assume that this is how the angler lives his life is folly. To assume that this is how he get his jollies is presumptive. To regognise the man is an experienced angler who can handle himself when found in a tight spot is my privilege.
vando.
