I'm not into fishing. I caught a 950lb Blue Marlin really close to Funchal harbour on my honeymoon, but I only went out on the boat to get away from my new wife. Didn't know what I was doing. After an hour and a half I looked at it over the side of the boat. The fish was huge. They measured it -to get the weight- and tagged it and it sunk down deep. I don't know if it was alive or dead. But I'm getting distracted...divorce loomed, thankfully, and fishing never came into my life again. Graeme seems like an ace guy. I watch the videos and it makes me happy. More power to him. It's much appreciated.

Probably the most fascinating video TAF has done. What a pleasure it is to listen to enthusiasts share their knowledge and ideas. This hour or so flew by. Thanks Graeme!

Awesome work, Graeme. This expedition is exactly the kind of adventure every fisherman lives for. You put in the research and did something no one else has even attempted. That scene of you fishing for 1000+ lb sharks from a dock with the city lights in the background is just incredible. After coming so close I hope you give it another try in the future, but I'd call that trip a success by any definition. If this video doesn't make everyone want to grab their heavy tackle and head for the water, then there's something wrong with them.

Amazing!!! Prob the best video yet. the second interview in particular certainly captures the imagination. 300lb skate!!! sharks with cutting teeth etc. top top video!! thank you and look forward to see this six gill being caught from the shore!!

I know that this is 6 years old but it was great tackle tips great I live in western Australia 700 kms in land these films are very well done they keep me going til I hit the coast on break thanks

Amazing"edge of the seat" thriller Graeme. I could get a real sense of the sheer size and power of these sharks when you were recounting your encounter. Looking forward to your next hunt for this shark. Totally addictive fishing. Well done

2021 Still great quality and information. Thank you Graeme.

love listening to people who really know !! keep up the good work gents it is much appreciated

Wow! Now they are big. Another totally awesome film. Thanks.

totally tops, great to hear your friends talk of their experiences, go Graham, be the first.

Amazing, just amazing. Christ, that Six Gill is huge. Great video.

Come on Graham, time for part 2 when lockdown ends👍blow of the cobwebs with a real fight!

Blimey that really was awesome and what great interviews especially liked Luke’s.

What a film Graeme. Thanks a mill for putting it together. groundbreaking!

Absolutely excellent production, thanks, keep up the good work,

Graeme thank you so much for this video and for all the tine you put into makeing it was great :) i hope to get a 6 gill some day thanks again and sorry that you dident get to land it but you really have me thinking there are monster size fish to catch it really awesome . ... thanks graeme from a big fan of totally awsome fishing show in ireland edward/eddie :)

Thank you very much Graeme' you have thought me so much, i cant get over the six gill sharks i live in Ireland and a six gill shark would have been the last thing i expected to live out there' its just amazing! sometimes we even get mola mola aka sunfish. i love your show.

This was totally awesome Graeme!

Class Graham, Get back to Cork and finish the video..I want to know how it ends!!

Awesome.. just TOTALLY AWESOME

Thank you so much for your time and effort in these shows, it makes us all double our own attempts to catch "my fish of a lifetime' I hope to see you off the IOW in the summer, the porgies are awaiting !! All the best Graham (from all the Poole Bay. Small Boat Anglers Club)

Totally awesome fantastic show got to make a part two

Spot on fella, really enjoyed this video and what a fantastic sport/hobby this is where you can do a little research and hook up to a six gil witch is to a lot of people the big foot of the UK waters!

Excellent video

Luke Aston has broken the world record 2-3 times for six gill. And his boat also had the record for a six gill caught by a female. He is an incredible skipper.

what a great video.thanks for taking the time to make such a good piece to show us.makes me wonder why your not doing robson green job as he clearly cant fish i cant even watch his shows.could watch your videos all day long and sometimes i do as never much on tele.

Iv watched them all but i cant decided if this film or the solent stingrays is my favourite?........so far :) a great film it must have taken so long to edit!! TA

Interesting documentarystyle film. It is interesting to learn something about the species aswell. Is there gonna be a sequal for this? As in; will you be putting in a serious 5 nights in a row fishing for them, possibly using a helpingboat if necissary? Enjoyed it very much and we share a love for southern Ireland.

Absolutely awesome stuff...Ive cycled to the Loop Head Lighthouse before and fished all along the coastline there... Some of my all time favourite places to fish!!

Few trips up the Shannon from the self drives they used to have there.Tope,Bull Huss,Rays plus Conger off Kilrush pier to about 20lbs.

How far out were you fishing for these? I imagine you can't cast a big mackerel that far! And what depth do you think you were getting the bites at? ta.

1:03:47 right about here is where you can tell he REEEEALLY has the fever. this must be the Brits version of muskie fishing.

i actually have found a fossilized sixgill shark in hunstanton on a fossil dig

How dose a fish roll up 15ft of trace and then 40 yards of 100lb mono? Don't you think the fish could have just rubbed up against some rocks or something and just pop the 50lb line.

Will you do more big game I the future great video

When did Phil become famous??? Used to work with him, always involved in some type of drama.

You should do a winter carp session

What a fantastic video. I don't care what type of fishing you do everyone has dreamed of landing a monster shark. I think you could tow a truck with 26 pounds of drag.

Just a suggestion, if u catch one u could tag it then see if they stay around here or if they migrate, great video, i like watching them pick up loads of tips, gunna try your rapta oil technique but using pilched oil on Boxing Day for pike

nice!! :)

One time I saw a tuna follow in my mackerel I caught in Ireland

In recording this exciting adventure and through the clearly sincere and emotive re telling of your night time encounter with this huge creature you were able to convey to me a very real sense of the terrifying power of these monsters.... Totally exciting, edge of the seat stuff Graeme.....cant wait for your next 6 gill shore encounter video.. What exactly would be the criteria for claiming the UK shore caught species record, would you have to beach one to photograph and measure one, then keep or release it, how would one go about that ? Rob Kelowna BC Canada .

@TAFishing

10 жыл бұрын

I guess the British requirements are kill it, weigh it on certified scales,with two independent witnesses.Pretty archaic stuff .I'd like to get it on the beach, measure it, film it and release it. I'm not really bothered about the actual record,I'd just like to be the first to land one from the shore. For me the filming is far more important ,maybe it could be weighed quickly on the commercial fish scales then returned ? Got to stay attached to one first !

Could you guys give me some tips for keeping crabs of my bait when I'm fishing for bass, flatfish and dogfish from the beach over rough ground please. All me and my dad seem to catch are crabs and the odd dab. We usually use rag worms as bait, so would a different or bigger bait work maybe?

@MrNinted

8 жыл бұрын

Hi Andrew- This can be a problem. Sometimes using half a black frozen lug worm can keep the crabs off but still give a good chance of fish. Another way is to put a thawed black lug on a baiting needle half way, fold it onto itself and whip the two halves together with bait elastic before sliding onto the hook. This makes the bait tougher and it lasts longer. Hope this helps!

Why no filming of the take and the loss of the shark ! Sounds a bitt fishy to me lol

What do you think are the chances for catching a portbeagle of the north east coast of Scotland?

Would like see shore fishing for cod.

Yes,I was over there yesterday and they told me several have still been caught. Mostly West coast.

Were to get a 50 pound stand up stick

I wonder could it have been a seal rather than a shark that you hooked into at Beara peninsula. I think it was too shallow for a huge shark to be in that 4 or so metre deep harbour area. Also, earlier in the video one of your experts you interviewed said six gills don’t wrap themselves up the line. And, anyway, doesn’t a shark need to be in deep water to wrap almost 20 feet or more of line around it? Can sharks wrap horizontally themselves up 20 feet of line in a 4 or so metre deep water harbour? I don’t buy it. I think you were fighting a seal and the frayed line was caused by it wrapping the line around a rock. Anyway, fantastic video, really enjoyed it, love watching your show. You are the best fishing show on KZread!
