So, for the record, once again guys, just a little bit of humour from my side with absolute no suggestion otherwise.as for those who misinterpreted the comment,I strongly recommend you understand it first for what it is.......nothing more than a light-hearted joke,before assuming anything else.also, a big congrats to the angler and a bigger thumbs up for releasing such a very fine specimen. Many of us anglers wouldve kept such a fine 'trophy'without a doubt. Just my 2c

All part of modern day technology. Today you can set cameras to take a photo where the idividual with the fish is standing out and his surroundings looks dull.
I immediately saw the humor in your first post but with this being a forum with thousands of members you will get guys (even one) that do not see it and bad remarks will be made by others resulting in what happened here with the pic being removed. I actually knew this was going to happen.
Glad to say I saw the fish. Congrats to the angler on a great catch.

@Marshie, I hope you will accept this and maybe even move you to again post your pic so as to allow the others that were too late to view it, to share in the joy of such a catch, for a fish like that is not an everyday occurance.
Eish guys, we need to be less sensitive about things. When the comment was made that the pic was almost too good to be true I added the comment that it is wonderfull what you can do with software such as Photoshop but with no accusations or reflections meant. I added, however, that I thought the fish was an excellent catch and congrats to the angler. Although I did not try and imply that the pic was fake, I have since removed the first sentence of my post to prevent further possible negative assumptions. I nevertheless sincerely apologies if my comment caused any negative perceptions regarding the validity of the pic or to you Marshie.

Thanks for the explanation Kaspaas.
Chaps, please respect the fact that my reasons for not wanting to post it in the first place are the same as why I post repost it. Sure comments re photoshopping are part of it, but the photo reveals a little 2 much for the public domain. Problem is, one has no control over who sees and uses information negatively. I'm not a selfish angler and have shared the joy of this catch with most of the people I know. I have have had negative experiences with carnage that has resulted from pictures that were uploaded to this website and therefore feel compelled to only share information with those mature enough to respect the resource. Most of you are indeed just that and I'm confident that you'll therefore respect where I'm coming from.

Hi Marshie please email me the pic, ive sent you a PM with my email
Congratulations on an epic catch buddy.
You are by no means a selfish angler, I hear what you are saying about posting the pics. (maybe because I have the full report) he he . . .
Pity about the negativity on Sealine lately, but I guess its an open forum and people will always have different views on a subject.
Once again great catch, something I can only dream about.
Cheers.

i fully understand!! I would be a hypocrite if ii didnt as i sis the same thing 2 weeks ago with a steenbras!! It makes sense that you dont want the fish released, only to be caught and fried the next day.
on a related note . . .
its awesome to see big steenbras around again!!
Marshie, do you regularly get such big ones or is it a recent thing? there have been a few reports the last few weeks of monster steenbras!! I just wish more people would release the monsters - as you did- so that there will be more monsters for years to come! this obviously means catch limits and stuff do work

Just imagine if steenbras never suffered the fate of netting... I would give anything to see the pristine state of fish along our coast, especially in False Bay!
Less big ones have shown in the area where I tend to fish for them, but that's because locals there put nothing back, no matter how small or big it is. I know of only one double figure caught there in the past 6 months.
Most steenbras caught in False Bay don't seem to make it back into the ocean either. There's that one of 118cm (25kg) caught earlier this month...
To protect the breeding stocks, I reckon steenbras and dusky kob (and perhaps some other species as well) need a maximum size limit in addition to a bag limited and minimum size limit. A maximum size limit was one of the restrictions put on the striped bass in the US, which got stock levels back to flourishing two decades after it was decimated. But no restrictions will protect the species when it's not properly policed anyway! :blah

Just saw the pic, friggin beaut of a Steamer, well done Marshie! Awesome pic as well!
Hi Morbus, we don't target them unfortunately. We have got two monsters in the last two years and both have been caught under fairly incredible circumstances.
jaccil... good point you make about the maximum size limits! I'm all for that - slot limits have been used in the states for years!

I have said before that large fish should get put back. keep the "intermediate" fish for the pan if you want to take something home. I firmly believe that its for the best. I was lead to this "thought" by a paper i read some time ago: they said that a 60cm red snapper female has ~260 times more eggs than a 40cm female. that is an ENORMOUS difference!! so they suggested that you should rather take 2 or 3 40cm fish and release the large fish. makes sense . . .

@ jaccil I agree 100%. Nice quality pics are always nice.
Does the cannon D10 support video?

If video is what you're after, then the Pentax Optio W90 is the way to go... Up to 1280 x 720 pixel resolution in 720p HD!
I've seen some videos on YouTube taken with the W80 mounted on a quadbike, windsurfer, etc... awesome stuff!
