That was just for starters.
Lifting fish over 60lb in just the net no sling around it to support the lifting, fishing the Brazilian tree with a semi slack clutch then walking backwards, pointless the fish could make the jungle of snags just under and beyond it, going two up in the boat for every fish, what happens to all the other unattended rods whilst they could be out there for up to or more than half an hour.
I could go on.

I will not waste a lot of time arguing with you Carpstar... Because it sounds like you are wherry quick to judge people you don't know anything about. But I put some things right.
"fishing the Brazilian tree with a semi slack clutch"??? I have never ever done that, I always fishing looked up against snags! The film is edited, not all takes are connected with the playing of the same fish. The takes with semi tight clutch is from open water, takes not to the Braszilian.
Half an hour out in the boat... , We had 15 takes, 2 hook pulls and landed 13 fish. We had friends fishing swim 18 and one of them were in our swim at times, but didn't do any filming.
But you are right about one thing, and that is a one time mistake. I usually transport the fish with the net in the water, if not the distance is 200 meters +. Then I take the fish aboard on to a mat. This time we forgot the mat, not a good excuse, but it is the first time ever. I apologies for that misstake.
I totally agree there is a lot of people fishing Rainbow, that not can handle the fish or angling situation. I´we seen people sacking fish, fishing with bait runner close to snags, loosing fish after fish, Keeping the fish out of the water 15-20 minutes, taking ridiculous numbers of fotos, fishing 300 meters distance with nylon standing up holding the fish.
I can go on and on, but if you have been there you probably seen it by your self. Often it is people from eastern Europe , (but not all of them) and I have seen britts fishing and respecting the fish extremely poor as well. Some people make misstakes and others are respectless... Do you know the difference?

Mikael I said you COULD be out in the boat for up to a half an hour which is quite possible on the larger fish I know I have been close to this but then my mate is always back on the bank in the eventuality of another rod going off.
Covering a few things I have said and you replied to in your other post as well as this one, there is no mat under the tripod at all times watch your video again, in the rush to get to a take at about 23 minutes you even bounce the already weighed fish off the roots in the sling whilst your mate has a take, the mat in the boat you have apologised for, lifting every fish from the water in just the net is not a safe practice especially with fish to 64lb if there is a slight rip or tear in the net it could give it could if there isn't as well if the nets old or sun bleached and peachy that's why I always put a sling under it for extra security when transporting especially with all the exposed roots in the swims.
Given the editing might have shown a section that I might have taken for your mate fishing the Brazilian tree with an slack clutch because the cut away shot after you are both in the boat close to the said tree so I will apologise if I'm mistaken.
If you make a video for all to see then I'm sorry but your open to critism, I have been fishing Rainbow for the last 8 years and like I said I have seen a lot worse, in fact the middle of the summer last year I witnessed guys on the island from peg 1 with Eric's common out of the water for over 20 minutes in the middle of the hottest part of the day over 30 degrees, he came into our swim that night pissed as a fart he didn't stay long because I told him what I thought,also people fishing the bungee rigs, and when I fished peg 16 there were Hungarians fishing with lines locked into poles with 100lb+ mono and double swivels, yours it not the worst but fish safety is paramount.
I'm not after an argument just saying it as I see it.

I totally agree, fish safety are essential.
To add running one or two cameras to the excitement when you get a take at Rainbow is a lot. A "dubble take" and the stress limit is close.
I just want to say no fish was harmed during the filming, but a couple of mistakes was made.
I have fished Rainbow about 25 weeks through the years and never damage a fish or left tackle in the water, a have got fish snagged but always got them out, or the few times i have not managed that I always got the rig back.
I have just filmed playing a few fish before this trip, but this time we wanted to do something a little bit "more" than a video diary. But that was more difficulty than we though.
I have seen a lot of stupid fishing down at Rainbow and I get as upset as you.
I think many of us are concerned about the welfare of the unique fish the lake hold. Nothing wrong to criticize when you see someone that putting "the safety of the fish at second hand". I though your first post was a bit over the top, but I think our opinion are not that far apart. Might see you down there in the future, my next trip is October.

Be patient chaps. These vids are definitely worth the wait. No doubt as soon as he has a chance to get out there. Or anywhere as a matter of fact. His camcorder will be out and we will all be able to enjoy the results..☺
See what you've started Kev. You won't be able to let your public down now will you..😉
