Thanks for more Reef video, Bill.

And yes, you do have to do it soon! And if you are crazy enough and they let you wire one, you will be stunned by the raw power of those things! Scary as hell, even if you've had a lot of leader experience with biggish fish, but worth the ride.

I have a video somewhere that was sent to me by my Aussie mate John Dunphy and of what the entire professional crew said was a true tonner getting gaffed with two huge flyers, whereupon she lept at the transom, almost beheaded the leaderman, threw both huge gaffs (almost taking another crew's head off - it was a true kill gaff - monstrous and heavy), then the fish proceeded to hang on the stern covering boards, repeatedly smashing them with her huge bill. That fish did over $50,000 worth of damage to a brand new boat. It finally slid off, broke the wire, then started to swim away when a pack of the huge tiger sharks that are found there attacked and killed her, right on tape.

Awesome stuff. I'll try to find it.

Thanks again. I love The Reef, the Aussies, and those wonderful black ladies that live there. Yeah, you gotta go.
