Inpatience Chris...simple as that. I cant beleive how much they were trying to turn/stop and dictate green fish! never going to happen.

Gee ..... after just watching the Monduran round .... Unbelievable !
What surprised me were the amount of fish that were lost to blown leaders
Was it a case of nerves , panic , pressure & impatience - ???? for all the skill of these guys - I was surprised!!!
Interested to hear your thoughts ..... on the footage , fighting tactics , drag pressure & leaders ........... no one used twisties - Why not ?
Cheers

Impatience was evident right through the barra rounds ....... & some of the net shots were shockers
Sounds like you were surprised too

Quite suprised Chris!!!(I missed Awoonga round). The most suprsising (and disappointing part, as of the culprits are quality barra anglers) was how hard they were going on them in open water!!
Notice the free spooling to position the boat by the yank...perfectly done.
Steve
I was suprised by how high some of the rod angles were. Mind you it may well have been full of nasties just under the water that they were trying to keep the fishout off. Cameras dont show the whole view that the anglers were seeing I guess. Some nice fish though.

G'Day Craig, how things up your way? Is the Pinnicle pub shut today
I agree, the rod angles were high, but they got lower as the comp went on!!! It made good jumping footage....when the fish stayed on!
Steve
Obviously not staying in contact with ausfishIts been raised on several occasions recently.......... but yeh ... it stood out !
Yeh the yank backed off while the locals went just as hard even when the felt contact with timber
This is some of the best footage of what not to do .... that I've seen
Chris
PS ..... Mottys blown fish

The 120cm was a beaut. I thought the partner would have done a bit more boat positioning to assist the guy hooked up instead of saying 'stay on fish' or just watching - lack of teamwork. I am a beginner at barra, but thought the same as you guys.
hey did anyone tape it i missed it due to a bit of a issue um the chief forgot to turnthe dvd recorder off for me as i aksed her to do 3 times and so i didnt not get to see it i would really apreciate a viewing of it
cheers
Wish i had recorded it. Was good viewing, I have not had the chance to chase barra yet... I now have the boat, so won't be long...
Steve
I recorded it, PM me your details and I'll shoot you a DVD
Cheers
Tony
What l saw was...Smoke , mirrors... and no twisted leaders
nipstar im pretty sure they will all be posted on youtube soon. last season and the one before that where.
yer i liked the tactics of the yank, notice he was a lot more calm and collected than the twins.
im looking forward to seeing the abt final.
