NZ Fishing World

Fishing with my father in law..not the most safety concious guy in the world. Also fishing with the pressure on..ie wife says she won't get anything out of the freezer for dinner because we'll have fish.

Fishing in Shark infested waters in Africa....

fighting a big catch and as it brakes the water the 1st time i see that the hook is only just holding the fish on as it dives under boat trying to escape .. trying to b patient and not put to much strain on line till it tires a bit so I can pull it in enough to grab it in net

watching my mrs reeling in something decent,she's lost so many good fish,hell had to dive in after a groper she lost at the boat just last week,grrrr.

The fishing situation that makes me sweat is when I go out with my Dad, he's in his late 60's and everytime he goes down diving I panic until he finally comes back up. He wont come up until he's managed to get the big cray at the very back of the cave! I know he's taken his gear off outside of a cave before to fit in and get the cray, holding his breath until he can get back to his gear. He says he doesn't do that any more but I still have it in the back of my mind when he goes down there.

walking in after an afternoon of fishing , only to be be sprayed with lynx cos i smell like fish walking in smelling of Rexona Clinical Protection has got to be a good thing dont ya think

cheers

When you pull up at the boatramp and spot the fisheries officers! jokes.. :)

when it's bite time, the sea is boiling and you're still rigging up! help Rexona! sweaty hands and uni knots do not mix!

fishing an area where you dont have enough time to unhook the fish before my partner has another aboard that needs unhooking and of course trying to do this and rebait gets very hectect

I have been fly-fishing on a fine day by walking into a gorge, only to have a freak storm and flash flooding nearly take me out, and I didn't realise how bad the situation was until it was nearly too late!

When we go fishing myself, my husband, and four other male
friends, I am always first to get a bite, which I get teased
about. I am sweating about not landing the fish.

When it is rough enough for the boat to get partly submerged.

It's very competitive when I go fishing with my mates. It's a bit of sweat until I pull in the biggest fish. Luckily I am a much better fisherman than them, so I don't normally have to sweat for very long.

I have often been in the situation of having to hold on, or attempt to go off the side. I prefer to sweat it out, and hold on.

Going out in my 16 foot ali boat in rough conditions when the wind is going against the tide.

After a big day fishing on the Kaipara,being given the job of being the anchor winch,in the big waves on the bow of the launch,Sweat you bet !!

The kids always wanting to go and look at what everyone else is catching on the wharf!!

when your Dad makes you hang your ass off the end of the boat like youre 5 when you need to go to the toilet because there is no way hes going all the way back in yet, so you sit and wait but eventually you hang your ass over the end of the boat.. lol

The first Whitanga Classic tournament, in a 5.3 metre Mclay steaming out to the Aldermans when a water-spout pops up on the port side and is heading straight us... Three grown men in dire need of some heavy duty deodorant and a change of undies!
