Thanks for the comments guys, glad you enjoyed the pics!! I sure as hell enjoyed getting them!!
Top two pics are from down here in the Cape, I think those two are off the Holsloot river...amazing stream up in the Mountains. Wild Spawn rainbows on micro patterns and ultr light flyrods... awesome stuff.
The next couple are from a Slatwater Flyfishing trip I did to the outer atolls of the Seychelles in Arpil 2005. We did Cosmoledo and Farquhar Atolls...without a doubt the finest fishing on the planet!! Between 10 anglers, all on fly, all sight fishing, we got over 30 species, including over 200 Giant Trevlly, and probably close on a 1000 boneifsh in 10 days... My first morning chasing Bones I got over 40!! The place is nuts!!!
The fish in those pics are:
Bohar Snapper ( Lutjanus Bohar )
GT
Grouper
GT
GT
Bonefish
The B&W shot is the Tarpon in the story in the Fishing Stories Thread called Tackling Giant Tarpon taken in the Cayman Islands on casting tackle.
Next is a Garrick taken in Mgazana river last August. We had crap weather and not great fishing but still managed 13 species including some nice Grunter, Perch, shad, and my old man got a 9 kilo Poensie off the Bricks.
Last shot is a Yellwofin take off Cape Point, one of many taken out there, I just like that shot
Here is another favourite shot of mine:
and a few more off the streams:
PLEASE EXCUSE THE REPEAT SHOTS I PULLED THESE OFF ANOTHER POST OF MINE ON ANOTHER FORUM

... and the result: 170 pounds of Yellowfin Tuna!!! Sushi all round!!! We put nearly 900 pounds of Yellowfin on the boat this day between 3 of us...
And a few from a recent trip to the Trankei Coast:
Garrick ( leervis )
River Perch:

Nah mate, apart from Scuba Diving, surfing, spearfishing and hacky sac, I quit playing any other sports till I got to the caribbean where I started playing soccer for a jol with mates, but thats about it...I stopped playing cricket in St 8 cause it sucked at PSHS and I was playing polo and gymnastics so had no time between those and fishing and surfing..
These days the bloody water in CT is so cold and I get so little time off, I don't surf much anymore, so I surf on concrete... I'm big into oldskool skateboarding, riding pools, bombing hills and cruising... I also collect oldskool boards and collectors art decks, got about 30 or so....
So now, like a true long hair, I play hacky sac, I fish, I skate, and fish off my Kayak...

Riymos you always were a naughty little shit man!! I didn't know you went off to Kearsney man!!! Damn... I nearly went there, but spent one open weekend there once and realised I couldn't surf and fish everyday and told them to get stuffed!
Leonard - Are you talking about Gareth Olivant? Shit is he teaching now?!?! I used to party with Gareth back in the day... he's a couple years ahead of me, but we partied alot back in the day! His old lady taught me English in Standard 6 I think, she was pretty cool.
Ja Old Dale Soloto was a trip man... he never taught me, but taught a couple of my mates TD, and they used to give him hell... Poor bugger... Teaching is tough man, just think about having to deal with a class full of okes like us everyday....Hectic!!

Are you thinking about Miss Ross? The tall blonde chick who taught drama? She was sorta hot, but she was a psycho beeyotch from hell man... that woamn had serious issues! She didn't last long! Actually all the teachers at PSHS who were slightly good looking were bitches... maybe they had heard of our reputation before arriving!!!
I was part of the fishing club, Mr Theunessin was the teacher who ran it... we did a few trips and one up to Leseurs Dam in the Nottingham Road area for Trout, I think that was in 1993....
Dunno which PE teacher you are thinking of though....
