    @bomber dropped off a token box of bombers to come fishing in the upper Manawatu River.We started at Jaycobs pool and fished upstream.I landed a small rainbow but no photo was taken.
    Bomber decided to carry on fishing on the clay ledge while I went up over the top before we got to our next spot.He clambered up the steep bank.

    We fished a bit more with a few trout sighted and around one of the bends on the river a few ducks were sitting about 150 metres upstream.I dropped my rod and let a shot off with the shotty,three ducks flew back towards us and one went down in a blackberry bush.Bloody old dog went in nothing happened then i fired another shot into the bush the duck made a run for the river and i put another shot in to stop it.
    Deaf dog found duck and started munching

    Hooked a number of trout last night but couldn't get any to stick. The last one I hooked was from my unanchored boat 5.4 mtr Buccaneer. I played this fish for around 15mns and at one stage it was actually pulling the boat along. Sadly (yeah I now) I didn't get to see it as it was pitch black and the hook pulled. Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaark

    Tied some new flies, respooled the 6wght and brought new waders which I will cut own to waist size. This arvo I will go and clean the lake bed up a bit and remove a few logs and the odd rock or two.

    The first fish they landed looked dead then when they threw it back in stiff as a board there was a pool of blood...hope they netted it off camera.

    Yes. The video comments also note that. Pretty mediocre fish handling to be fair. I think tuna are quite fragile once caught so I see no worth in putting them back. There's always a willing table. Just the word yellowfin has me salivating.
