It's actually not that hard to do what you said at the end, I did it with a trout for one of my recent videos to get a different angle of netting it.Seb85 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 08, 2019 9:45 pmYea I saw the video. I think he was using a tripod and fished alone. The footage however, showing him reeling in and pulled the cod out of the water and showed it to the camera. Not showing the strike.Bugatti wrote: ↑Mon Jul 08, 2019 9:19 pmThanks croe, yeah I appreciate it would be logistically a feat but I never know what drives some people. But yeah, if you think it's legit, then cool.croe04 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 08, 2019 9:13 pmI would say it was real unless the person went to the trouble of finding a cod, transporting it all the way the albert park, hooking it on a lure, dumping it in the water, reeling it in, pretending to have caught it, then chuck it back in the lake. So most likely not. How that cod ended up in albert park of all places I have zero idea but I guess there is one in there.Bugatti wrote: ↑Mon Jul 08, 2019 9:05 pmcroe04, I have the utmost regard for your opinion, that's why I'm asking you.
Now, I haven't seen the vids (or any others, as I'm not a Freshie) and I know there is always bogus vids on the internet.
Did it look real enough to you? Or are those pranksters at it again?

With the camera on a tripod on his back, the camera would've been on the whole time and got the footage when he stroke. Why it isn't showed? Would've been a good footage ... Unless, he hooked, walked to the camera and turned it on and back reeling in the fish, all of it while holding the rod and keeping pressure (sounds impossible).
As for the cod, I wouldn't bother targeting them there, I've fished for the yellas using lures cod would take there quote a fair bit and haven't come across any. As stated above there are lakes that have recently been stocked with cod or if that isn't your style wild populations that are much more viable to target.
