Brendan Mason and Myself had some fun with good mate Capt Dave Trimble over the 4th of July weekend. Brendan was the slayer of the Blue Sharks for his competition on Washington Fly Fishing.com and I managed one Mako out of 2 hooked on the last afternoon. Capt Dave of course showed us his Shark Ninja skills and caught a Blue shark in his bare hands. The day after we left Dave got 5 Makos......

Super Grand Slam at Isla Blanca

We're back from 3 weeks of fishing with good mates in USA and Mexican waters. Cancun, Isla Blanca, Cozumel, Florida Keys, East Cape Baja and San Diego were the main locations. Many species were targeted and I caught my first SUPER GRAND SLAM which consisted of a Permit, Tarpon, Bonefish and Snook in one day. I added a Barracuda to that list and had them all by 11.40 am. More on all this and other stories about this trip soon. 3 weeks is not enough ..... I Don't Wanna Stop........

Cape York Permit

no@spam.com (Randall Bryett) — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 00:00:00 CST

An amazing thing happened to us on this trip while fishing with our guide Peter "bubbles" Hearden . While fishing the flats we noticed some dolphins thrashing on the surface. A large shinny fish was sticking out the mouth of one before it casually tossed it in the air. Downing rods & zooming over in the fishing skiff we realized it was a permit .The dolphins seemed to be playing a full contact sports game with this poor fella. As we came along side the match in progress flipper dropped the ball it seems, I landed the permit by the tail and it was game over. This fish was beat up pretty bad but the toughness of these fish is shown in this video as watch the fish revived and released.

Islamorada Tarpon

no@spam.com (Randall Bryett) — Tue, 11 Sep 2007 18:52:12 CDT

This is the first in a series of videos that will cover the past months travels. This "Islamorada Tarpon" video was recorded between the 16th and 20th of May. The five days after the new moon. It was glass calm and hot during the day with night time thunderstorms. We saw many tarpon and I had 5 good fish eat flys and caught one big fish on 20lb conventional during a night session. My night session were sabotaged by bad weather but compared to the shocking conditions that arrived the day I left and continued to make the 2007 season one of the worst on record, I was lucky. My mate Captain Keith had to endure some tough conditions for his yearly break and this video is dedicated to him. By the way the stills at the end of the video one is Keith fish jumping from 2004 and the others are of my personal best fish caught in 2006. Among the several fish in '06 were 4 night time fly tarpon and that fish. It's measurements 38 inch girth X 74.5 inch length to fork of tail.
By the way this video was made in about 20 minutes using the new ilife imovie08 on the very day it was released.
