Well played uncle beautiful catch and release! This is what fishing is all about, sure it will be a great memory and story to share around the camp fires.
Awesome Brett, what a Whopper !! Only ever saw one of those come out back in the day when doing GAM 1000, so it's great to see there are still big boys about. I still have those 2 Bucktails and using them here in the UK and the Pike also love them. Tight Lines!
@kangenwaterhealth2327 I fish the system alot! LoL They are Def still around, been blessed to catch and release two on artlure now! Lost aa few along the way as well. Now to find the 🌶 to chase for a 3rd! :-) Great stuff on those Bucktail and post some pics of those pike to our Trophy Tails FB page!!
Wow what a great catch Brett. That cob had me guessing the whole fight as to what you had on the other end of the line. I dont even think he knew that he was hooked. Congrats my friend on a spectacular catch😊
Fantastic catch Brett. Quick question from the UK. I will be in Plett in April and just wanted to know if Gamtoos river and beaches are easily accessible by car or a long treck is involved. Cheers and congrats again
@stevebond9054 No problem, man I love that little boat. I hunted for one for 2 years. It's a 1984 410 Arrow Head, centre consol. Slightly narrower than the later hulls.
Actually not true, the ones we catch out at sea is different specie, silver cob (argyrosomos inodorus) they dont grow as big as the Dusky cob (argyrosomos japonicus) which is ones found in rivers and surf zone, very seldom venture out deep to sea. You will catch the odd one but 95%+ of ones caught deepsea is silvers which breed from very little size, thus the reason why you allowed 5 of them from vessel and not one like from the side or river. But we do need to look after all our big cob. Numbers declining quickly. Good to see there is more and more people releasing big cob👌
@@bjornhoffmann6008 you are 100% correct a daga salmon is a dusky, but the ones they catch out at sea is mostly silvers, "daga" is purely a slang name the guys in KZN use for the larger specimens, the younger ones they call "half cobs" Next time you catch a "daga" out at sea smell it, it will smell like nothing, thus where second part of scientific name "inodorus" comes from. A dusky has a strong metalic smell you cannot miss.
Unbelievable catch, well done Brett. Wishfully thinking with the landing net 😂😂
Jhoo..well done Brett!
It was a long time coming for you.

@christophergiblin-k4k thanks man, yip what with the video to boot I can recall that one for years!! :-)
Well done Brett. What a beauty!
110% skill with that set up to land it. To be honest I don’t think I would be able to on that set up. Well done!
Tortoise and the Hare analogy...careful, slow and steady wins the race! Stay calm at the water! LoL
Well done Brett. A fish of a lifetime. 😁🏆🏆
@kallieerasmus6620 many thanks Kallie!! :-)

@nomoguff241 For river fishing the best spots are a 2km comfortable walk. For the beach 500m and you are on the surf from the parking.
@@trophytails Much obliged for the info Brett 👍
amazing
A bit off topic. Share details about your boat. Thanks

Thanks, powered with what engine.
@@stevebond9054 50hp 2 stroke pushes it like a dream!!
Thank you
Sad thing you'll tag it and the deepsea guys will catch it here in KZN and cash it in😪 what an incredible memory, and well done!!
Too true Bjorn, but hopefully we will come to realize soon that we need to protect these big Boyz!!

@@francoiskolesky2702 disagree. ski boaters/ fishing skis target "daga" these are dusky cob
@@francoiskolesky2702 don't agree. Lots of ski-boaters and fishing skis target "daga salmon" especially on the wrecks. These are dusky cob
