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.

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?
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
