That's one hell of powerful fish. It spun the whole world around your ski, and Copernicus in his grave.
Great video. Was there a danger of the ski being towed away from you?

Excellent lesson for all of us. Keep it simple and attend to the little stuff immediately. I bet you have re-arranged your tether so that's unlikely to happen again.
Thanks for posting it.
Cheers John.

I can't view your videos on my iPhone or iPad for some reason? Is there a setting so you can make it visible to mobile devices. The play symbol in the middle has a circle with a line through it.

Dammit I want to see your videos.

You did well to get back on your ski that many times. I know from experience the third time, it starts getting much harder.
Great video, thanks for posting it.
Cheers

Doug one of the best forum video clips in some years, and it is called a sport which is only understood by other yakkers.

Goodness gracious!

Very edificational bit of video there! Very entertaining......shame about the loss of the fish at the end.
Epic....Yes. Fail.......not really. (I cannot explain why, its just that such a good bit of video, can never be a fail).
Yeah! loved the vid, and will watch it again, over and over, and try not to hit the floor trying to avoid the roll overs next time.

Cheers, and hoping you did not get actually hurt....andybear ;-) ;-)

Probably needs Flash Player which Apple won't get on board with.

That is one awesome video, unfortunately I can easily picture myself doing something similar, if I ever hook a fish that big that is!

Hey Wayne,
I produced the vid in mpeg4 so it should come up, I'm also a little miffed that it hasn't. It doesn't give any option on yt to change as far as I can see as to what devices it can play back on. The other video I made that does play on iPad etc (who's whoo ) was produced on the trial version of what I use now. The only thing I can physically see different is that svrt was activated ( smart video rendering technology ). To have that now I need to buy an add on. So will look into it. Other than that I have no idea. Red.......do you know?
Ciao
Douglas
