HUGE BARRAMUNDI, CRUSHED DREAMS and SLEEPING IN TREES, 2 days living in the Tinny

[@CraigKing74]

You handled disappointment well in loosin that fish - I could feel how gutted you were though haha .. awesome vid man - so glad I found your channel , I’ve been spam watching your vids last few weeks

[@WildReaches]

Haha I’m always gutted when I drop the big girls. So crushing. All the hours, kms, dollars etc to get to that point and then you drop the fish. 🙄 glad to have you with us Craig

[@waynevincent373]

😂😂every time I watch you drop the Barra, don't worry I know that exact feeling and it dose hurt....have I got some stories for you.

[@WildReaches]

It sucks hey!

[@marshallfarr5575]

Beautiful scenery! You boys are fantastic..doing what you love while educating and showing respect for the land and all of its inhabitants!! Thank you Wild Reaches!!

Hey guys here in Alaska I like to use mustard or hot sauce as a breading stick instead of egg for our batter on our fish, you might like it you might not, but we l9ve the flavor it adds to the batter. AN GOOD LUCK AND TIGHT LINES.

I’m sure you have mate! Cheers

[@jayne3480]

Loved it. These last few eps of Cape Yorke have been so good to watch. Love the creek system fishing. Few great laughs too. Keep up the great work!

[@WildReaches]

Thanks Jayne, glad it’s coming across well and you’re enjoying it. 👌🏼

[@MarkLinno81]

Just found you guys, great stuff, I felt the pain when that big Barra did the Harold Holt on you. Haha The marooned marooned I’m stuck here on a lagoon, came from a poet that was on Hey hey it’s Saturday’s Red Faces! I was only a kid but somehow instantly remembered it

[@WildReaches]

Glad to have you onboard Mark. Yeah I remember it now as I used to watch Hey Hey as well but had no idea what Dan was on about at the time 😂.

[@ianbamford6016]

Oh mate. That hurt us all. Buddy, feel ur pain. I've lost a few good carp over the years. Two I still occasionally think about and think I always will. Both at least ten years ago now. Only around 25lbers but wild river carp, amazin battles, half hour at least. I want a barra sesh wiv you boys one day ✌🏼

[@WildReaches]

It’s heartbreaking hey. I’m the same mate. I can think of atleast 2 as well that I’ll never forget.

[@2ChukBuk]

Does it really get any better than this? I think not. Great footage and editing. Well done gentlemen.

[@WildReaches]

Thanks Teddy, glad you really enjoyed it

[@alexandertelehin3425]

My biggest Barra was 90 cm. on the line. The photos I took was with a measuring tape going under the body from the tail to the jaws end. I also had to let it run and run and run. It took about 15 minutes to net this fish. 30 seconds later a sharks dorsal fin came cutting through the water high speed searching for the fish. There was not the slightest disturbance of the water except for the shark's fin cutting through the surface. No sign of it's tail. I recon it was a very big shark. I just sat quietly in my 12 foot tinny until it disappeared. Sir Edward Pellow group of islands, Gulf of Carpentaria, NT.

Probably Atomic Slim Twitcher.

[@thomasdavis7447]

@@WildReaches loved it mate

[@benkincade5254]

You can always tether a keeper fish for dinner if you are worried about not having ice and not getting a feed. Keep them off either the side of the boat or in a nice shady spot on the bank where you can come back and get him later.

[@WildReaches]

Mmm, I think the sharks and crocs would enjoy that too!

[@benkincade5254]

@@WildReaches you'd be surprised. We've done it for years and not lost one yet. If you keep it off the side of the boat, the biggest risk is driving off and forgetting it's there...

[@WildReaches]

Ok, we’ll give it a shot mate! We’re always catching fish all morning but then nothing at lunch time 😂

[@damianscholten6451]

@@WildReaches He was on Hey Hey its Saturday a few times

[@WildReaches]

Yeah I remember that now!

[@judyfisk9657]

Can you explain the Plonk to us and how it works

[@WildReaches]

Just a heavy weight (different weight for any given boat) that just holds you in a spot quickly rather than trying to get an anchor to grab. 👌🏼

[@don7294]

Dan with the net really let you down and kept saying the fish isn't ready. Forget what the fish wants, get in there with some purpose and net the dam thing. I would suggest a bigger net also, for those occasions where you really need it like in this episode. A quality net or two are worth their weight in gold.

[@reeloffroadadventure9076]
