Rescuing Turtles on the Great Barrier Reef of Australia!!
Переглядів 2182 місяці тому
Graphic content warning! Badly injured turtles in this video so don't watch if that sounds too hectic. Everything wants a piece of the poor buggers. Dr Google says only 1 in 1000 green sea turtle hatchlings make it to adulthood. The birds and fish nearly nail them all in the first couple of days. If they end up on their backs, they perish in less than a day (some people say you shouldn’t interv...

No music, no slo mo, just raw stoke (plus I'm a below average editor). Thanks to GR and the big-tillered Dory for putting us on the fish of a lifetime! The ever reliable KES speargun did the damage. The fish was respected and fed a heap of people.
I got caught catching Blue Groper!?! - NSW Blue Groper Ban - Drone Harassment
Переглядів 3,7 тис.10 місяців тому
Fishing for Blue Groper on the 29/2/24, the day before a ridiculous ban on fishing for them in NSW came into effect. The drone harassment I coped filming this was no joke! I’d love a copy of the footage. What were the pilot’s motives? Just a mad keen subscriber? Or someone that didn’t realise it is a leap year and wanted to fuel a media beat up!?

Being new to the deep drop scene, we are still learning all the fish IDs. We initially called the big girl a Bass Groper, then thought it was a Hapuka because of the jaw structure. Some more seasoned deep droppers might be able to clarify in the comments. Speaking of seasoning, get on the gear used in this video and don't throw away the wings again!

Precisely why fisheries are a joke. Groper populations are just fine as anyone who puts a mask on can attest. Get serious fisheries. There’s other species out there that need actually protection. Pathetic!
Which country or states you guys from?
Footage from the GBR in Aus 🇦🇺👍🏻
Lovey catch guys👌
Cheers 👍🍻
Awesome footage, what reef/s were u on and was this all in 1 day?
2 week trip on the bunker group of islands, we covered a lot of ground, cheers 🍻
Unreal trip
Epic, I was just thinking today about getting back out there, bloody paradise 🤙
Cheers mate, get out there!
Great video mate! Looks like such a good fun fishery, shame what happened, hopefully they come to their senses next year.
Cheers mate, let’s hope sanity prevails
Pretty much all fish that people say a trash are good its either you don’t know how to prepare it or you just shouldn’t eat fish if you gonna call it trash
Bro i have ligma
Bone fish are good to eat you just need to know how to prepare them in hawaii we eat them all the time good for make wonton or fish cakes
Ah, fish cakes would have been a better option, thanks for the tip
Sick trip but why shoot a bonefish 😂
No catch and cook episode on that one!
mean vid bra

Класс!!!!! Видео 🔥💥👍👍👍👋!!!
Thanks! 👍👍🍻
Love your underwater footage, get out there and record some more!
Sounds good! Cheers
I'm intrigued to see what this magic flasher looks like, show us! Nice fish, good job.
Cheers! The flasher has all the ingredients of a messy 1980s disco; colour, noise, lights and cheap wine! 🤙
We’re u fishing and the shark got on?
I'm with you buddy so ridiculous they put a band on groper just because of a couple idiots spearfishing for them. Not based on how many there are in our ocean. I used to fish for them on the rocks and there was heaps there . I only kept one for a feed and I caught like up to about six each time I went out. Out of all of this fishing is just going to be made not enjoying able for people anymore waking dumb bans in place for nothing. tight lines buddy.
It says in the book you are allowed to catch one blue groper I rang up fishery's last week and they told me it was not allowed to catch and keep groper "??? The book is WRONG , SO DONT GO BY THE BOOK YOU WILL GET IN THE SHIT "?????
I agree how ridiculous ban on groper cause of one dick head .there's heaps where I Fish Illawarra area . I only kept one when fishing for them then.
I guess that’s what happens when public outrage and media attention supersede people who fish for the animal. Essentially that’s what the ban stemmed from. A fish was speared in the most populated part of the state. In an area you’re not supposed to spear. Hence the outrage was worsened. It’s a trail ban. No need to get your nickers in a knot. This just goes to show the power of public pressure don’t blame DPI it’s the general public you should be upset at.
I always thought that if a big one is removed from the area , a smaller one changes sex & colour to replace it. So the big blue one everyone says has been there for 50 years is bullshit. Another one has just replaced it. Am I wrong ? Please let me know.
You are 100% correct on all fronts, the lifecycle of BGs and the pile of BS we’ve been fed
I am an animal lover and I say, fishing and letting what you catch live is definitely the way to go. Thank you for having a conscience and being one of the good guys.
Recreational fishing is not the problem It’s commercial fishing I live in the nt and they have just reintroduced Barra netting which is hardly selective. Terrible idea I have heard tho the wild caught Barra gives you a limp penis Nice video
More then likely the drone was NSW fisheries .
Stop targeting the sharks.
He didn’t mean to
Your exciting videos are so much fun💁♀️💕I liked👍 and subscribed💕💕From a couple mommy who are beginner boaters💁♀️💕
The government cannot take away the ideals and pursuits of thousands of fishing enthusiasts because of the wrong behavior of a very few individuals and to satisfy the wishes of a small group of people.
DPI has a form for everyone to have a say about this 12month trial ban. I urge every fisher to go to their website and excercise their right to submit their opinion.
www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/fishing/recreational/fishing-rules-and-regs/new-blue-groper-fishing-rule-changes/have-your-say-on-the-recent-eastern-blue-groper-rule-changes
Bravo! Great vid. Share your sentiments completely, only jealous i didn't get out and do the same. Hopefully logic prevails in 12 months.
Cheers mate! Yes, let’s hope logic prevails
It's a 12 month trial so instead of having a sook about it here why don't you leave some feedback with DPI 🙄
Great suggestion, I’ll forward them the link 👍
@@dancroft4781 www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/fishing/recreational/fishing-rules-and-regs/new-blue-groper-fishing-rule-changes/have-your-say-on-the-recent-eastern-blue-groper-rule-changes (should be a written submission)
I’ll do both, feedback incoming 👍
A spearfisherman fished a well known Blue Groper in the Sydney area or something, is that what made them impose this ban?
Apparently that forms part of the reasoning
@@dancroft4781 Ridiculous. I’d understand banning fishing it in some areas where the locals might have a connection to them, maybe within a certain range from shore but putting a total ban on a fish that’s obviously thriving is just bullshit.
Fisheries in QLD are using drones mate
Yeah right, I can understand why they would. That drone caught me by surprise, cheers
That 12 months is just the beginning, look at SA's snapper ban that's been extended twice. They are prolific and get caught all the time. Look forward to the idiots extending the ban
Geez, that doesn’t sound good. One can only hope some sanity prevails here
Same down here on the south coast mate, groper are prolific.
👍👍, the ban just doesn’t make sense given how prolific they are in NSW
Green type activism can have unintended consequences on our daily lives. Let's advocate for balanced and science-based approaches to protect our freedoms and rights
A balanced and science-based approach is definitely the way to go
Just rode the bike down to Shelly's for a brew on 3rd Mar, noticed the DPI signage has not been changed yet, there must be thousands of these signs up and down the coast. Love to know how much this will cost to change and I bet our recreational fishing licences will picking up the tab.
Yeah good point Paul, I hadn’t thought of that, what a waste of tax payer money on something completely unjustified!
Cracking vid mate. I cant believe you managed to land that many highly threatened and endangered fish! I think thats how DPI gathers their scientific data now, drone footage lol.
Cheers Luke! It took me a while to get through all the Groper before I caught that red rock cod!
ENORME Y NOBLE TIBURON TIGRE...👍🙏✨🌿
what anout animal in shark's jaw? u dont care?
Hook removed and tiger swum off in very healthy condition, thanks for watching
How about don't catch it in the first place or man up and go and swim with it and see how that ends for you.
I suppose that’s a couple of options to consider. Thanks for watching.
Terrible awful music
Not for everyone, that’s for sure
Thank you for letting the shark go.
You wouldn't thank me because I'll be having tiger shark nuggets 😂😂😂😂
@@jlarrywhite8 That's If the shark doesn't get you first which would be great
@@pamelapope859 sorry to burst your bubble but I'm not dumb enough to get ate by a animal 😭
@@jlarrywhite8 You didn't burst my bubble because I couldn't care less about you.
@@pamelapope859 ok Karen
its a great white actually❤
Pretty sure it was a tiger hey 🤙
How is that a great white? Lol It’s very obviously a species of requiem shark, the head and tail shapes give it away. Most likely a tiger shark, despite the potential strips on its back not being too visible in this setting. That doesn’t even look remotely like a mackerel shark, so it’s pretty clearly not a great white. Get to actually know your sharks better before going out of your way to correct so confidently.
Take your rock music and shuv it up your rear,leave the fish alone nit wits take the hook out of its mouth!!
haha that's epic, I have a friend who does the same

It is a bull shark, no a tiger shark.
Hey, pretty sure that one was a tiger. Here is a vid of a bull off the beach, cheers ua-cam.com/video/56e0T1--9Qs/v-deo.html
It’s a tiger shark. You can actually faintly see the stripes if your brightness is high enough.
you can clearly see stripes if you pause the video
