Lake Moeraki

Double Catch & Release of the same fish - just caught by different species. Must Watch!! My craziest moment whilst fishing to date. If you only have 30 seconds, watch the first video! If you have time, have a flick through them all 👌🏼 Lots of rain over the last 2 days meant the river & lake were well up with some slight flooding. After 5 minutes at the lake I landed this beautiful Brown. As you'll see there was a little blood at the lip from the hook (which will become relevant). I released the fish but it slowly looped back around (I think heading to hide in the fringe?) - so I thought I'd record it. What followed blew me away! As you'll see in the last video the fish swam off safely & hopefully unharmed. Only 1 month left living in this insane spot. Planning to make the most of it!

A gorgeous day out on Lake Moeraki. Took out the kayaks with a mate. Landed a few but this beautiful 60cm male brown trout was the pick of the bunch! Generally a catch & release man but as my friend was out for this day only we decided to take him home for dinner! Great eating 👌🏼
