Myself and the other guys filmed this over a 5 week period. Jeremy actually caught, hand-reeled, and managed to hold a few smaller Murrays which were not shown on film. On the expedition,. a 9 pound Murray was hooked, before been eaten by another absolute monster! Unfortunately, none was caught on camera. Overall, a great learning experience.

[@smeglips]

Good luck filming big Murray cod, u will need patience and always have that camera rolling!

[@dantemadden1533]

Murray cod can be absolute monsters, the biggest ever caught and recorded was 1.8 meters long and 113kg

[@briantriplett2455]

I was gonna say no way a fisherman like him missed that many and failed until 1. I’m probably ignorant on the fish but it seems to me at this point you could have maybe thrown a more aggressively hooked bait, for even more success. Again I could be totally ignorant the the behavior of the species.

[@Nolsey_osrs]

@@briantriplett2455 I've always had really good hookups with anything running two reliable treble hooks. Murray cod's a great fish to target around Lake Eildon and the trout fishing there is even better.

[@C.Fecteau-AU-MJ13]

I got my pop two of his books while he was in palliative care, "River Monsters" and "Somewhere Down the Crazy River" as he was a keen fisherman all his life. He went on a trip up north to catch Barras every year before he got cancer. Pop hadn't read a book in 50 years, but he read them cover to cover and absolutely loved them, he couldn't stop talking about them. Jeremy's words took pop on a journey out of that hospital, back out on the river and they brought him some excitement and comfort in his final days. I actually wrote Jeremy a letter thanking him and he was very moved. He wrote a lovely letter back, along with with a signed copy of "How To Think Like a Fish" Unfortunately Pop had passed before the letter and book arrived, but the gesture was very kind and goes to show the character of the man he really is. You gotta respect a man who goes out their way to reply to a complete stranger like that, writing a personal letter and signing the book with a beautiful message: "So glad you loved my tall tales Greg and I would have loved to hear all about yours. Wishing you an eternity of happy fishing in the next life, from one fisherman to another. Signed Jeremy Wade." Brings a tear to my eye still. I'm not much of a fisherman, but I certainly became a fan after that.

[@tweakintrax6097]

The NSW Government decided to drain a shallow lake system on the darling river saying its not viable etc blah blah but their perspective was more about making money using the water and not the state of our native fisheries when they drained this storage people wanted to save the fish but alas red tape tangled what available time was left and the storage was dry there were fish older than 70 years old in that water storage the real breeders the ones that naturally restock our native rivers and i say these bastards who live in the city who don't understand wont ever come out here in the outback as they know people here are waiting for them to show their cowardly faces because they ruined something some of them weren't even born before those fish they killed i will never see fish this big again in that water way because i don't have another 50 years of fishing in me but id also like to point out that the greed for the water didn't stop there as now the entire southern part of this once great river is bone dead dry no water just puddles of green sludge every few miles because the cotton growers up north in NSW and southern Queensland have laser leveled their lands allowing them to have more flood water sit on their land which they then in turn restock their ever growing dam sizes after see a farm who did this by claiming her was just making an all weather access road the road being 2 feet higher than the surrounding farm land they were able to hold back so much flood water on their property that they have time to restock their own greedy little water stealing programs at the cost of a once mighty river system i say fuck cotton growers they flood irrigate while almost every other primary crop grown apart from rice has to use drip systems and micro sprays to be viable with water saving but not the cotton growers so as their dams and farms get larger and more cotton is grown more and more water will be stolen and less and less water will make it to the river down stream you see our rivers were always seasonal and we seen high flows on the darling and low flows but a little education for you polly pricks the native fish like warm shallow water because of these conditions they can breed more fish but oh no you had to destroy that breeding place for what ? MONEY they all play the blaming game and pass the buck on to the next one in the end they will leave government but their legacy will be that they ruined our River system for greed and retire getting their retirement package and go away without a trace i say fuck you bastards because its a big place out here lots of places to dig a hole and bury some shit i'd like to think that all you ever want and own gets taken from you all and you end up with nothing but the hatred of all the river communities of this once great river Country we call Australia If anyone would like to shame the people responsible for this leave me a message i will continue this fight because these bastards have got away with Treason

[@chemchemchemacky]

The oldest Murray cod ever aged was 48. But that doesn't mean the fish deaths in the lower Darling weren't a tragedy of a massive scale. It's a truly unprecedented ecological disaster in this country. It's natural to want to blame someone, anyone... and the popular targets are water managers or irrigators. The real problem is many, many years of over-extraction and a rapidly drying and changing climate. Stay passionate, and keep fighting. The world needs more people like you.

[@tweakintrax6097]

@@chemchemchemacky so you dont think that laser levelling land and building bigger personal dams north of Bourke isnt a big part of the problem ?

[@chemchemchemacky]

@@tweakintrax6097 laser levelling improves irrigation efficiency. It potentially can result in water savings, but not necessarily. I believe over extraction is a problem, and I think that's what you're saying too, but you're pointing at just one aspect of extraction. I'm not really certain, but I'm reluctant to pin it on any one practice or industry. Certainly on river storages like town weirs make a huge influence on the flow in the darling, particularly in dry years with limited inflows.

[@FarmLifestyle997]

Where are the Greenies crying for this tragedy of the Murray River and for the all the development going on with the trees being demolished causing the wildlife to enter farmers properties destroying all the crops.

So good to see a nice healthy Murray Cod. Less than half the size of a big one but always a pleasure to see one.

I love Jeremys voice.... he would be great at narrating... read me to sleep anytime. I wonder how he is counseling, giving feedback... he seems like he would be a voice of reason
