bigbowtrout Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 I spent two great weeks on the North Island New Zealand. Below is a video I took of the biggest Brown from my trip that I caught on the Waitahanui River near Taupo. A super nice spring fed river with beautiful pools one after another. This fish put up a great fight in some super tight water and I'm really lucky to have landed this fish. Of course when you catch the Brown of a lifetime your fishing partner is several pools away and you are on your own to land and try and capture the the moment yourself. Anyway I stepped up to the plate and produced what is hands down 100% the best fishing video ever made. Humble and Dave you do great work but I'm sorry nothing can touch this peace of art. Please enjoy and note that I didn't add any music. I didn't want to take away from the raw emotion of the moment and wanted to let the video speak for itself. 4 Quote
Guest bigdirty Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Hands down best 3 seconds of fishing video ever! Quote

When I caught my biggest-ever rainbow in Canada I was alone...well adc was a few feet away (well, okay, 100 m away) and I had to manage. My biggest ever rainbow (Chile '09) was duly recorded.

bigalcal Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 I took the time before viewing to grab a beer and a handful of popcorn...I downed the beer but didn't quite make it through the popcorn!!! 2 Quote

SteveM Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 Fab slab. Great experience. Good on ya Chris. 2016 Oscar nominations "Best Short Foreign Film" "Best Foreign Humour Short Film by an Amateur" "Best Foreign New-Age Arty Farty Short Film" "Best Out of Focus, New-Age, Short Film by a Complete ___ " (something something) It saddens me to report that Bigbowtrout's delightful film has been disqualified from competing in the category of"Best Out of Focus, New-Age, Short Film by a Complete ___ " (something something) . Apparently, it was brought to the Academy's attention that Bigbowtrout only has one testicle, thus making him an Incomplete___"(something something), and therefore ineligible to compete in that particular category. Wow! What a kick in the nut! 2 Quote
reevesr1 Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 Who needs videos of all that river craft, casting prowess, quiet talking, perfect presentations and take when all we really need is an out of focus, poorly executed shot of a big ass fish? Was that a brown? Hard to tell. 1 Quote
dryfly Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 Fun thread. "Bigbowtrout only has one testicle" He is half way to being Bruce Jenner then. I stand behind your decision Chris. 3 Quote
