Geez Michael.........top notch shoot there bud and beautiful place indeed. Mate, there sure was bruised and battered action with the anglers, good work out on the tackle too. Boy, that popper fizzing lossely out of the water past that anglers ear :o could of been nasty. I think saw another angler with what seemed a nasty arm cut injuiry with alot of claret, hope it wasn't to bad.
Nice healthy GT's caught......well done and congrats :).

Hi Leo,
Thanks for that. Yeah that was my arm i got the hook in. No serious damage done, 12 stitches and it put me behind the camera for the last 3 days.
Great trip and great people.
-
Great vid there Michael! Looks like a great trip and you guys had a ball!
-
Well done Michael! Very well put together video.
Another interesting destination that JDM Tackle/Monster Fish has unearthed.

WOW!!!
Brilliant video awesome fish!!

Hi Michael,
Great video.
I am fishing Gambier in 2 weeks and have been to Eiao/Nuku Hiva 2 times.
From your video I can see that it is so much different from Eiao, pure heaven as Teddy said
-
Nice one Micheal looks like an awesome trip! dig the outtakes section should be mandatory on videos henceforth, hows the arm looking now?
-
wow!

keep it up ;D

Great action vid, love it.

That's awesome! What sort of camera do you use for your video footage?

What happened with the angler with the Napoleonwrasse?
-
Thanks guys!
The cameras used were gopro3, nikon dslr and a panasonic gx1 (mirror less). I had heaps of other footage from ions but i wanted to use as clear footage as i could.
The angler with the napoleon wrasse was me unfortunately!
As i was changing its position for the photo it kicked out of my arms and got the 6/0 gt recorder in my arm and the weight of the fish made the hook tear downwards.. Raced in and 12 stitches later it all good. I was lucky it never hit any main arterys or nerves!
But if it wasn't for the hook in the arm then i wouldn't have got all of the fishing action and surface strikes on camera that i did!
Its healed up well Cameron :)

of the 3 cameras, which one took the best video? there's one part where the image is so damn clear! was wondering if that's go-pro or DSLR... the image, i'm referring to can be seen below.... thanks in advance!

That section of footage was taken off a Nikon D600 Mark
-
thanks sam! very cool video
-
Hi Mark,
That one was with the Nikon DSLR. That is my favorite part of the footage, turned out really clear.
Most of the gopro 3 footage was mainly the intro and the underwater footage, with a mixture of a couple of fight scenes.

that image you captured was also mr sam colvin who commented above :)
