[00:00:09]
YOU CAN SAY, SO THIS IS A LITTLE AMERICAN ALLIGATORS, NOT A CROCODILE.
IN FACT, ONE OF THEM JUST FLEW
THIS LOOKS SUSPICIOUSLY LIKE A CHANCE FOR ROB AND TONY TO DO A LOT OF FISHING, BUT ACTUALLY WE'RE GOING TO TRY AND CATCH AND IDENTIFY AN INCREDIBLE DIVERSITY OF SPECIES THAT LIVE IN SALTWATER RIGHT HERE IN THE LOW COUNTRY.
SO HERE WE ARE AT THE BROAD RIVER AND WE'RE WITH CAPTAIN CHRISTOPHER BATSON.
UH, CHRIS, THANKS FOR LETTING US COME OUT WITH, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING ALONG, TONY.
SO HOW ARE WE GOING TO DO THIS? WELL, FIRST THING WE'VE GOT TO DO IS CATCH SOME BAIT.
WE'VE GOT A BUNCH OF MANHATTAN IN HERE, FLIPPING AROUND THAT ARE IN SHALLOW WATER.
SO WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO CATCH SOME OF THOSE UP, AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO SEE IF WE CAN'T CATCH WHATEVER BIGGEST FISHES THAT'LL BE.
I MEAN, YOU PROBABLY HAVE A PRETTY GOOD IDEA OF WHAT WE'RE GOING TO CATCH, BUT ONE OF THE GREAT THINGS ABOUT FISHING HERE, YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE IN 50, WHAT THEY WANT.
ALL RIGHT, WELL, LET'S SEE WHAT WE CAN DO.
OH, YOU CAN SEE THEM FLASHING IN THE NET ALREADY.
SO IT LOOKS LIKE ALL MEN HAYDEN.
HAYDEN, THAT'S KIND OF THE WAY YOU'D LIKE TO DO IT RIGHT.
SO THIS IS AN ATLANTIC MENHADEN AND YOU CAN SEE THAT CHARACTERISTIC SPOT RIGHT THERE.
SO THESE GUYS SWIM THROUGH THE WATER COLUMN AND THEY GLEAN ALL KINDS OF SMALL PLANKTON AND STUFF OUT OF THE ENVIRONMENT, ALL KINDS OF DETRITUS AND STUFF.
BUT OF COURSE, A REALLY IMPORTANT FISH IN TERMS OF THE ATLANTIC FOOD CHAIN, LOTS OF THINGS EAT MENHADEN AND UH, THIS IS A FAVORITE FOR A LOT OF THE SPECIES THAT WE'RE HOPING TO CATCH TODAY.
NOW, ONE OF THE COOL THINGS ABOUT FISH IS THEY HAVE, THEY HAVE COUNTER SHADING.
SO THEY'RE DARK ON THE TOP AND THEY'RE LIGHT ON THE BOTTOM.
AND WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT, THAT MAKES PERFECT SENSE.
IF YOU'RE AN OSPREY OR OTHER PREDACEOUS BIRD FLYING OVER, YOU LOOK DOWN THIS BLENDS IN WITH THE BOTTOM.
AND IF YOU'RE A PREDATOR, FISH SWIMMING UNDERNEATH THIS BLENDS IN WITH THE SKY.
GREAT CRYPTIC COLORATION FOR THESE GUYS.
I'M STARTING TO, WE'VE GOT SOME LIGHT ONES WITH SOME LITTLE TINY TRAMP ON THEM, AND THEN WE'VE GOT SOME MUCH BIGGER RODS WITH MENHADEN AND, UH, CHRIS REALLY LIKES THIS SPOT CAUSE HE'S GOT A LOT OF CURRENT CHANGES IN HERE.
I FEEL SOMETHING'S REALLY TAPPING ON THIS.
I THINK IT'S SMALL, BUT I GOT SOMETHING REALLY, REALLY SMALL AND IT IS, LOOKS LIKE A LITTLE PIN FISH.
SO EVEN WHEN YOU GET OUT IN DEEPER WATER OUT HERE, YOU STILL HAVE THESE PIN FISH HANGING AROUND, POP HIM OFF.
I'M NOT SURE AND IT IS BONDED HEAD.
YOU SEE THE SHRIMP ANTENNA HANGING RIGHT OUT THE SIDE OF THE SHARK HERE, RIGHT THROUGH THE GILL SLITS.
SO BONNET HEAD, UH, NOT, UH, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE HAMMERHEAD FAMILY, BUT A MUCH SMALLER SPECIES.
THIS IS ACTUALLY A YOUNG ADULT, BUT BEAUTIFUL SHARKS, RELATIVELY INOFFENSIVE.
UH, I MEAN, THEY'RE ONE, IF I'M GOING TO GIVE HIM A DIP SO HE CAN MAKE SURE I KEEP HIM GOOD AND HEALTHY, AND THIS IS A REALLY COMMON IN SHORE SHARK SPECIES.
UM, JUST LOVE THESE BLACK SPOTS AND YOU CAN SEE WHERE THEY GET THE NAME.
I GET THAT SORT OF BONNET INSTEAD OF THE, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF THE HAMMERHEADS HAVE A HEAD THAT LOOKS MORE LIKE A HAMMER.
[00:05:01]
THIS.A MALE HERE ARE THE CLAPPERS AND MALES HAVE THESE FEMALES DO NOT NEED SHARK.
SO WE'LL PUT THIS GUY BACK IN.
I'M GONNA LET HIM SWIM RIGHT ON OFF SO TONY, WE WERE JUST HEADING OUT TO GO TO THE NEXT SPOT.
AND I THINK I SAW A TRIPLE TAIL RIGHT OVER HERE.
SO WE'RE GOING TO MAKE OUR WAY OVER HERE.
HOPEFULLY GET HIM TO, OH, THAT'D BE REALLY A PIECE OF BAIT.
THERE HE IS RIGHT THERE HE IS.
I'D SEE IT SWIMMING ON THE SIDE.
SO YOU JUST KIND OF CAST IN FRONT OF IT.
I'M HOPING THAT WITH HIM GOING FORWARD, WE'LL FIND OUT, OH, HE'S ON.
I HAVE NEVER SEEN ONE OF THESE FISH IN MY LIFE.
THIS WAS LIKE, THAT LOOKS LIKE A TRIPLE TAIL.
YOU CHRIS, YOU CAN'T HE'S ON LIGHT TACKLE TOO.
ISN'T IT NOT? I'M ONE OF THOSE BIG RIDES.
THEY, THEY'RE VERY HARD AT FINDING FISH AND YOU KNOW, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TALES EARLIER.
AND IT'S A, HE'S GOT AN IMPRESSIVE AMOUNT OF SURFACE AREA.
I'D LOVE TO HEAR THAT, THAT DRAG ZIP OUT LIKE THAT.
I THOUGHT HE WOULD'VE GIVEN UP ALREADY.
SO THAT TROLL NOTICE JUST KIND OF HOLDING US IN ONE PLACE.
YOU CAN SEE WHERE THEY GET THAT NAME.
IT ALMOST LOOKS LIKE IT HAS THREE TAILS ON IT.
I LOVE THE WAY THE SCALES GO ALL THE WAY UP ONTO THE, THE RAYS OF THE, OF THE FINS HERE TOO.
IT'S KIND OF A NEAT THING AS WELL.
OH, HE'S BIGGER THAN THAT THOUGHT.
SO, UH, SO TH THESE GUYS HAVE A TENDENCY TO JUST FLOAT ON THE SURFACE.
AND THAT'S WHAT HE WAS DOING WHEN YOU FIRST, HE WAS JUST SITTING THERE WAITING TO AMBUSH THAT BAY THAT WAS FLOODED.
AND THEN WHEN THE LITTLE PIECE OF MINT HAYDEN CAME BY, HE STRUCK IT AND GRABBED IT.
A LOT OF TIMES THEY'RE ASSOCIATED WITH COVER RIGHT AROUND KNOW RACK OR THINGS LIKE THAT.
AND ALSO, YOU KNOW, I'VE SEEN HIM JUST UP IN THE GRASS LINES TO, AND SO THIS IS A L YOU KNOW, W WE'RE NOT KEEPING THIS FISH, BUT THIS IS ONE THAT'S VERY GOOD EATING AND ONE THAT YOU COULD KEEP AND IT'S BIG ENOUGH.
HE'S, HE'S SIX AND A HALF POUNDS.
ONE OF THE OTHER COOL THINGS TO NOTICE ABOUT THESE IS AS THEY AGE.
SO THE JUVENILES DON'T LOOK LIKE THIS, BUT AS THEY AGE, THEY GET THAT TWO IN A SCOOPED OUT FOREHEAD AND IT GETS MORE SCOOPED OUT AS THE FISH GET BIGGER.
SO THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MORE MATURE FISH WHEN THEY'RE YOUNGER, YOU DON'T GET THAT NEAT SCOOP.
SO WE'RE IN A LITTLE DEEPER WATER HERE.
IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S ABOUT 30 FEET OR SO.
AND THERE'S SOME REALLY NICE STRUCTURE DOWN HERE IN THERE.
THEY DUMPED JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING HERE AT THE PARASITE ON ROOF, TONY.
AND THAT WHAT WE'RE DOING IS WE'RE USING THAT AS A, AS A CURRENT BREAK, THE WHOLE, THE FISH.
AND HOPEFULLY IF YOU GET STRUCTURED, GET SMALLER FISH SPECIES, AND THEN YOU GET THE BIG STUFF.
YOU ALSO HAVE TO DEAL WITH AND CONTEND WITH THE STRUCTURE, BUT THAT'S WHAT FISHER, THERE WE GO.
YEAH, DEFINITELY SOMETHING ON HERE.
IT'S A, IT'S A RED BEAUTIFUL, NICE FINISH.
YOU GOT TO GET THIS OUT OF THE WAY.
SO HOW BIG IS IT? SO THIS IS HOW THE SLOT, RIGHT? THAT'S CORRECT.
AND THIS ONE'S ALSO A SURVIVOR.
TINY CHECK OUT THE, UH, THE DAMAGE RIGHT HERE.
[00:10:01]
GOOD BITE RIGHT THERE.SO THIS ONE, THIS ONE'S BIGGER THAN 23 FOR SURE.
BOY LOOKS UP PINK LINES IN THE SIDE OF THAT.
SO THIS IS WHAT A LOT OF PEOPLE COME TO CATCH HERE IN THE LOW COUNTRY.
LET'S GO AHEAD AND GET BACK IN THE WATER AND GET A LITTLE BIT, A LITTLE BIT OF BREATHING IN.
NOTICE YOUR RIBBON REAL CAREFUL TO REVIVE THIS FISH.
MAKE SURE IT'S GOOD AND HEALTHY BEFORE WE RELEASE IT.
I LOVE THE WAY I LOVE HOW IRIDESCENT THEY ARE.
THE WAY THE SUN JUST KIND OF SHEENS OFF THE SCALES.
HE LOOKS LIKE HE'S READY TO GO.
SHOULD WE MOVE TO A NEW LOCATION IN THE TIGHTEST SHIFTED, MAN.
IT IS RIPPING THROUGH HERE, BUT IT'D BE INTERESTING.
WHAT'S SWIMMING DOWN BELOW US.
I'LL GET JUST SLIPPED DOWN A LITTLE BIT.
THIS IS AN ODD TIME OF YEAR FOR KOBE ED.
WE'LL BE REAL CAREFUL WITH THIS.
NOW COBIA ARE JUST FABULOUS FISH.
I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND PUT THIS ONE BACK IN THE WATER.
CAUSE I DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING.
WE WANT TO KEEP IT THE WATER AS MUCH AS WE CAN.
NOW KOBE HAVE SOME SPINES ON THEM THAT ARE VERY, VERY IMPRESSIVE.
AND THEY'RE REALLY STRONG, STRONG FISH.
AND AGAIN, I WANT TO MAKE SURE I DON'T DO ANYTHING TO HURT HIM AT ALL.
WELL, IT'S GOOD TO SEE THESE BECAUSE THIS WAS A SPECIES THAT WE'RE WORRIED ABOUT OUR FISHERY, RIGHT? WE WANT TO FOR A WEEKEND AND WE'RE DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN AND WE'LL COME BACK.
SO THIS IS OBVIOUSLY VERY, VERY MUSCULAR AND ATHLETIC FISH ARE VERY STREAMLINED, VERY FAST, VERY POWERFUL PREDATOR, BIG MOUTH, FOR SURE.
BUT I'LL TELL YOU, THE MAIN THING I WANT TO DO IS GET THIS FATE, THIS FISH BACK IN IT'S IN GOOD SHAPE.
THE CURRENT IS JUST SO POWERFUL WHERE THEY CAN FIND A LOT OF CURRENT AS WELL AS THE FISH.
THIS IS A LITTLE BIGGER FOR SURE.
HOW, HOW, WHAT DO YOU THINK THIS FISH WASTE.
LET'S UH, BOY, THEY ARE, THEY ARE SOMETHING ELSE.
THEY ARE A HIGH PERFORMANCE FISH.
THERE'S JUST SO STRONG IN THIS CURRENT IS REALLY WRITTEN IN THROUGH HERE.
LOOK AT THE SPINES RIGHT HERE.
I REALLY, I REALLY DON'T WANT TO GET THOSE ON MY SHIT.
YOU CAN SEE THESE POP RIGHT OUT AND I'M GOING TO KEEP MY HANDS AWAY FROM HIM.
AND LET'S GET THIS ONE JUST CAREFULLY.
GET THIS ONE BACK IN THE WATER.
[00:15:01]
IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S A GREAT CHECK, CHRIS.IT LOOKS LIKE WE GOT SOME WEATHER COMING IN.
WE SAW A LOT OF DIFFERENT SPECIES.
IT'S HARD TO QUIT, BUT I GUESS WE'VE GOT TO GET THESE LINES IN AND CALL IT SO WE'RE BACK ON THE POOR ROLL SOUND AND GIVE IT ANOTHER TRY.
NOW WE HAD SOME PRETTY GOOD LUCK LAST TIME, BUT SOME SORT OF BAD WEATHER RAN US OFF.
LET'S SEE WHAT WE CAN CATCH TODAY.
WELL, WE GOT SOME REALLY COOL THAT LOOKS LIKE, WOW.
THAT IS A NEAT, NEAT FISH MAN.
LOOK AT THAT FISH, HUGE TEETH, LONG SKINNY BODY, AND LOOK AT THE VERY REDUCED, UH, CUDDLE THIN THE TAIL.
IT COMES TO A POINT AND YOU CAN SEE THIS DORSAL FIN RUNS ALL THE WAY DOWN THE BACK.
WHAT I NEED ANIMALS TO CHOOSE SOMETHING REALLY NEAT.
CHRIS, DO YOU HAVE A BUCKET NEARBY? PUT HIM IN HERE.
SO YOU NOTICE HOW THAT, THAT LONG SORT OF DOORS DORSAL THIN, IT JUST KIND OF RUNS WATER DOWN THE SIDE AND YOU GET THAT NICE SORT OF FLICKERY ON THE, ON THE THIN BOY.
SO CHRIS CAUGHT SOME, SOME BAITS AND MENHADEN, BUT THERE WERE A COUPLE OTHER THINGS IN THERE STARTING WITH, AND I PUT THEM IN A BUCKET.
HERE'S A LADY FISH, AND THIS IS NOT A FULL GROWN ONE.
THIS IS, THIS IS ABOUT HALF GROWN.
THEY GET CLOSE TO THREE FEET LONG, BUT UH, YOU LAP IT.
LOOK AT THEM MOUTH ON LADY FISH, BIG MOUTH, OF COURSE THEY'RE PREDACEOUS AND FEED ON OTHER FISH, BIG EYES, BEAUTIFUL SILVERY SCALES.
AND THIS IS VERY MUCH LIKE A SMALL TERM TARPON.
IT'S A, IT'S A DIFFERENT FAMILY, BUT VERY TARPON, LIKE IN A LOT OF WAYS.
AND THEN THE OTHER THING WE FOUND THIS ONE'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE HARDER TO HANG ON, TO LOOKS LIKE A LITTLE LEATHER JACKET, WHICH IS A BEAUTIFUL FISH.
AND LOOK AT THE COOL TAIL ON THIS.
THIS HAS GOT A HIGH SPEED TAIL THAT'S FOR VERY RAPID BEATS.
UH, THERE'S SOME REALLY IMPRESSIVE SPINES HERE.
AND OF COURSE PROTECT IT FROM OTHER PREDACEOUS FISH.
AND AGAIN, BIG MOUTH, BIG TERMINAL MOUTH, WHICH HELPS IT TO CATCH SMALLER FISH AND EAT THEM IN SHRIMP AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE.
OF COURSE I'VE SEEN KIND OF BALL JELLYFISH, BUT NOT AT THIS SIZE.
THESE ARE LITTLE GUYS IN, CERTAINLY NOT IN THESE NUMBERS.
AND THESE ARE LITTLE TINY GUYS.
I MEAN, THEY GET QUITE A BIT BIGGER THAN THIS, BUT ONE OF THE THINGS YOU OFTEN SEE IS ONE OF THESE SPIDER CRABS ATTACHED TO THEM.
A LOT OF TIMES THEY'RE TUCKED UNDERNEATH THE BELT OF THE JELLYFISH, BUT I USE JUST A FABULOUS ANIMAL.
OF COURSE, THEY GET QUITE BIG, THE SIZE OF A CANNONBALL.
AND THAT'S WHERE THE NAME COMES FROM, BUT A REALLY, REALLY NEAT ANIMAL.
AND OF COURSE THIS LITTLE CRAB IS KIND OF CATCHING A RIDE.
IT'S GOT A SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP WITH THE JELLYFISH AND IT'S GOT SOME STRUCTURE AND HAS THE ABILITY TO CATCH FOOD AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
SO WE'LL PUT THIS LITTLE GUY BACK IN IT'S ALL RIGHT.
LET'S GET A GOOD LOOK AT THIS ONE.
BOY, THAT IS A PIG STING, RIGHT? THAT'S AS BIG AS I'VE SEEN SOUTHERN STINGRAYS, GET THIS, ONE'S MISSING A BUNCH OF THE TAIL TOO.
SO WE GOT THE HOOK OUT AND THIS GUY NOW, INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, THIS ONE'S MISSING A BIG PART OF THE TAIL, WHICH IS ONE OF THE REASONS WE CAN HANDLE IT THE
[00:20:01]
WAY WE WE DO BECAUSE, UH, STINGRAYS OFTEN HAVE REALLY NASTY SPINES.AND IF THEY PUNCH YOU, IT'S, IT CAN BE REALLY, REALLY DANGEROUS.
BUT THIS IS A BIG ONE AND IT LOOKS KIND OF LIKE A SOUTHERN STINGRAY, BUT, UH, I'M NOT A HUNDRED PERCENT SURE I'LL HAVE TO LOOK IT UP ONCE WE CAN REVIEW THIS VIDEO AND GET A BETTER LOOK AT IT.
YOU READY TO GO? LET'S LET HIM, YOU GUYS, IT LOOKS LIKE HE'S DOING REALLY, REALLY WELL.
SO, YOU KNOW, WE'RE IN 30 FEET OF WATER HERE.
I MEAN THE, THE MARSH IS PRETTY CLOSE BY, BUT IT'S REALLY DEEP HERE.
SO SOME, OBVIOUSLY SOME BIG FISH COMES IN.
BONNETHEAD NO, WE'VE GOT, WE'VE GOT ONE.
SO WE'RE GETTING ONE FISH OUT AND IT LOOKS LIKE GREAT.
ANOTHER ONE ON THE OTHER LINE, LITTLE RAT RED HERE, MAYBE A STINGER.
AND IT IS NO, IT LOOKS LIKE A FINE TO SHARK.
NO OBVIOUS BLACK MARKINGS UNDERPINS.
A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD LOOK AT THIS AND THINK IT'S A BLACK TIP, BUT ALSO IT HAS BIG GILL SLITS TOO.
THAT'S ANOTHER INDICATOR OF WHAT IT IS.
CHRIS JUST CAUGHT A, IT LOOKS LIKE A BLACK TIP CHART AND I'M GOING TO HANDLE THIS ONE A LITTLE BIT MORE CAREFULLY, AND THESE ARE GORGEOUS SHARKS, BUT THEY'RE REALLY FEISTY, BEAUTIFUL BLACK TIPS AND LOOKS A LOT LIKE THE FINE TO CHART.
BUT AGAIN, THE FIN COLORATION REALLY HELPS WITH THAT.
IT'S ON LADY FISH AND ADULT BOY.
THESE ARE GETTING FISH VERY ACROBATIC AND GOOD JUMPERS.
LET'S SEE IF I CAN GET THIS GUY UP.
LOOK AT THAT BEAUTIFUL FISH, SMALL SCALES, BIG MOUTH.
LOOK AT THE TERMINAL MOUTH ON HER MOUTH COMES UP RIGHT ON THE END THERE.
HI, VERY ATHLETIC LOOKING FOR SURE.
LET'S GET THIS ONE RIGHT BACK IN AND LET IT SWIM OFF.
IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S DOING REALLY WELL.
MAKE SURE IT'S GOOD AND REVIVE.
CHRIS JUST FOUND, UH, A NICE SCHOOL OF JACKSON.
SO CHRIS HANDED OFF THE ROD TO ME, BOY, THAT'S A NICE FISH.
YOU KNOW, JACK ARE VERY, VERY ATHLETIC.
YOU KNOW, JACKS ARE, ARE CORAINE GUIDS ARE COURAGEOUS.
AND THAT FAMILY HAS VERY FAST TAIL, VERY ATHLETIC.
AND UH, HE'S KIND OF GIVING ME A FEEL FOR IT RIGHT NOW.
THIS HAS LIKE, WOW, LOOK AT THIS FISH.
YOU SEE HOW BIG THIS FISH IS? THIS IS ENORMOUS.
I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY HOW BIG IT IS, BUT HE WAS A BIG, BIG FISH.
IT'S HOOKED WELL, BUT LOOK AT THE FINS ON IT.
SO WE CAN TELL THAT THIS IS A CARVEL JACK, BECAUSE THAT SPOT RIGHT THERE AND ALSO THE SMUDGE ON THE FEN, AND THOSE ARE REALLY DIAGNOSTIC IN IT'S KIND OF A LONG GATE, YOU KNOW, LIKE SOME OF THE OTHER JACKS, BUT WOW.
I MEAN, THAT IS A BIG, BIG FISH.
AND VERY, AS I SAID BEFORE, VERY ATHLETIC EATS OTHER FISH, HUGE MOUTH AND THEY CAN RUN DOWN OTHER FISH, CATCH THEM AND EAT THEM.
YOU KNOW, WHAT'S SO SPECIAL ABOUT PORT ROYAL SOUND IS WE HAVE ALL THIS STUFF IN SHORE.
YOU KNOW, THIS IS A SPECIES THAT'S MORE COMMON OFF SHORE, BUT BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF OUR SOUND, WE GET A LOT OF STUFF THAT COMES RIGHT INSIDE.
IT GIVES US A CHANCE TO CATCH IT, CHRIS, THIS IS, THIS IS AMAZING.
SO WE WANT TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO MAKE SURE THIS FISH IS OKAY.
AND SO CHRIS HAS SPENT A LOT OF TIME REVIVING IT.
FISH LOOKS LIKE HE'S REALLY GOOD SHAPE.
THIS ANOTHER BIG JACK THIS POINT, THEY'RE JUST AMAZING.
IT'S HARD TO TELL A BIG, THIS IS WHAT IT IS, BUT THERE'S A WHOLE BIG GROUP OF THEM ON THE SURFACE.
AND THEY'RE OBVIOUSLY HIT BAIT ON THE SURFACE.
SO WHAT WE DID IS WE THREW SOME PLUGS THAT KIND OF FLOODED UP NEAR THE SURFACE.
AND BOY, THIS LAST ONE, JUST SMASHED IT.
[00:25:04]
CHRIS HAS HELPED ME OUT A LITTLE BIT WITH THE BOAT TOO.HE'S SO ONE OF THE THINGS YOU WANT TO DO WITH A FISH LIKE THIS IS GET IT IN AS QUICKLY AS YOU CAN WITHOUT OBVIOUSLY LOSING THE FISH, BUT ALSO WITHOUT HURTING IT.
SO WE WANT TO CATCH THE FISH AND ENJOY THE FIGHT.
AT THE SAME TIME, WE WANT TO LABOR THE FISH AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE.
SO CHRIS IS MOVING AROUND TO PUT ME IN A POSITION WHERE WE CAN REEL HIM IN A LITTLE FASTER, BUT EVEN DOING THAT, THIS IS A STRONG FISH.
IT'S GOING TO TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF TIME TO GET IN.
YOU COULD, YOU COULD PLUCK THIS LINE, LIKE A, SOUNDS LIKE A GUITAR STRING OR SOMETHING.
ONE OF THE THINGS I'M DOING IS KEEPING THE ROD TIP UP AND JUST NOT LETTING ANY SLACK BECAUSE THESE JUST THESE LORIS, IT HAS A COUPLE OF SINGLE HOOKS ON IT.
SO A LOT OF TIMES THEY'RE NOT HOOKED REAL, REAL WELL.
I THINK HE JUST PULLED ME IN THE WATER.
SEE IF I CAN GET HIM A LITTLE CLOSER TO THIS OVER HERE.
I DON'T THINK HE'S QUITE READY TO COME UP YET.
CARVEL, JACK, REALLY NICE FISH.
I MEAN, THEY HAVE JUST VERY SHINY SCALES AND BRIGHT YELLOW COLORATION.
HE'S STILL GOT SOME, EVERY TIME HE SHAKES HIS HEAD, IT FEELS LIKE IT PULLS UP A COUPLE FEET OF LINE OUT.
IT LOOKS LIKE THE PLUG IS HOOKED JUST RIGHT ON THE, OF HIS MOUTH, WHICH IS ABOUT PERFECT.
AND CHRIS IS GOING TO USE A ONE OF THESE GRIPS THAT WILL REALLY HELP TO PROTECT THE FISH.
YOU WANT TO PULL THE HOOK OUT OR RIGHT OUT OF THE WAY.
I THINK THIS ONE'S ABOUT READY TO GO.
UM, YOU KNOW, THE POOR RURAL SOUND.
HE'S AN INCREDIBLE MIXTURE OF, UH, CLEAN, DEEP WATER AND HIGH TIDES.
AND ALL THIS IS A RECIPE FOR JUST TREMENDOUSLY HIGH BIODIVERSITY THINGS LIKE FISH SPECIES BECAUSE HE READY TO GO.
LOOK AT HIM, GO WELL, CHRIS, THIS WAS ANOTHER INCREDIBLE DAY OUT ON THE WATER.
ALWAYS A PLEASURE HAVING A GOURD, TONY, BUT YOU KNOW, WE GOT TO TAKE CARE OF THIS RESOURCE AND TAKE CARE OF THE SOUND AND LEARN ALL WE CAN ABOUT IT SO WE CAN DO THE BEST POSSIBLE JOB OF TAKING CARE OF IT.
THANKS FOR JOINING US ON COASTAL KINGDOM.
