Part 2 and 3 at www.bragnrelease.com THE BEST FISHING VIDEOS FROM AROUND THE WORLD!
It was a good day for fishing or for surfing, so after a modicum of contemplation, we decided to do both. Though the surf at Bondi Beach in the distance appeared to be pumping, I reckon I caught the wave of the day. Though "out the back" can have a tad more urgency when you're rock fishing, than when you're surfing, both scenarios can end with you being the filling in a "wave sandwich".
From The Angler:
"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 them 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."
