Hmmmmmm rubber raft, large fish with a sharp bill.... sounds like a Darwin Award candidate to me [img]graemlins/shakehead.gif[/img]

Seems kind of silly to me, this whole fishing from a kayak craze. Next you will see folks trying to catch marlin out of bellyboats.

I have almost completed more modifications to turn my 2 man pontoon boat into a alligator plow/mud motor--- the way we figure it- we can lasso the snout of a gator and tie the rope to the boat and let him drag us-- the first two test drives ended up with the gator simply rollin over and over until he had all the rope around him-- that wasnt too much fun---we will take a cattle prod next time also- maybe if we zap him on his nuts he will put it in gear and take us on a tow! I will take pictures.

He may have had to jump in the raft after a double hook up so the big boat could fight the other fish.

[Fish]

What would you guys think if that guy pulled that fish in the boat, iced him down, and sent him to California for sale in an Ingles fish market?

[Ghetto]

I could care less.

[Boogie]

I think you meant to say that you could NOT care less, Ghett.

You might as well go ahead and grease up the old cornholio cuz Fish is fixin to bend you over like a stump-broke freshman at clemptech....

[Stripa Swipa]

I love a good fly rod challenge but that just looks like you're beggin for a major fark up. Skeeeuuuuuarrd by a sailfish doesn't sound to good to me.

The Bite TV 1st Annual Miami Raft Invitational Tournament Scores 14 Sailfish Releases
By Staff (more by this author)

Miami Beach – May 11, 2005. Making good television was the goal of this tournament, the brainchild of Capt. Matt Tambor, host, and the producers of the SunSports TV show, The Bite. Ten well-known, tournament-winning billfish captains were invited to participate in this unique half-day event off Miami Beach on April 27th.

Their "boats" were non-motorized rafts made out of tractor tire inner tubes. No two rafts were the same as each captain created his own vision of what it would take to be buoyant, nimble, productive and successful. At no time could a raft be moved north (the usual direction from which sailfish travel) and every 30 minutes the north boat was taken south of the fleet. The rafts were transported to the fishing grounds by motorized craft. Unlike regular billfish tournaments, live chumming was allowed and encouraged.

Demonstrating that talent, experience and know-how outweigh the need for costly boats and high-tech equipment, the anglers had 14 sailfish releases as well as mutton snapper and bonita in an afternoon of fishing from their rafts. Near shark attacks and loggerhead turtles added to the excitement. Capt. Ray Rosher on Team Miss Britt won the event with seven sailfish tags and releases (four at one time!), donating $1,000 from The Bite to The Youth Fishing Foundation.

The event was captured on The Bite TV's Hi-Definition cameras and overhead helicopter video for a future episode. The Bite TV airs on SunSports (formerly The Sunshine Network) every Thursday at 6pm, Fridays at 1pm, and Sundays at 10:00pm.

The Bite TV Scott "Scoot" Shane, Peter Wolfson, Capt. Matt Tambor and AJ Willis, based out of Miami Beach, Florida, have been traveling from the Turks and Caicos, Costa Rica, Cape Cod, and throughout The Bahamas filming for over 18 months. New partner, Luis Bacardi, world traveling fisherman, winner of the 2004 World Billfish Series and Board of Directors member of The Billfish Foundation assisted in The Bite TV's ambition to become the first Hi-Definition fishing series.

I dont think yall get sunsports up there but we do down here. That tournament was pretty cool. Ray Rosher had 4 sailfish on at once and landed, tagged and released all 4 by himself from a raft.
