Ask him when he,s going to release the film he made in a fish tank in a the koi shop, I could tell loads but we have a mutual friend and it wouldn’t be fair, he,s a shite angler that attempts to turn every situation into life or death, did you ever see him in New Zealand dressed in a suit of armour covered in fish guts trying to portray those giant eels as rabid man eaters, I take my hat off to anyone that can make a fortune from total bullshit but that’s basically him Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The country is body destroying. The west coast mission was knocked on the head so no helo in and out, we hit the east coast and we packed in and out after about 2 hours of legit mad off-roading to the head of the valley. Climbed up to where the tahr live and camped with them. Edited May 8, 2019 by Born Hunter 4 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ryaldinhio 4,745 Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 My only bucket list trip is, and has been for a ling time, Canadian sturgeon. Problem is justifying a 3k trip for myself when I have a wife , 2 kids and a house to do up and all the rest of the normal stuff everyone has! It's a lot of money for a fishing trip 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
