Was watching the Robson green show at my mates house while burning some meat last night,interesting to note that they were calling the garrick by its Afrikaans name ,leer fish (leervis),they were fishing somewere off the coast of West Africa,mama mia those were some bomber garrick,shows you how far north the "Afrikaans taal "has spread
Robson Green tv show

- Start date
also watched it, try watch the show as often as possible, he's a bit of a tool but the fishing is good. those garrick were pretty awesome the way the were pulling on that heavy popping gear and snapping his rod. also noticed they called them leer fish, they did look a bit different to the species we get down here though.

You'll also probably never learn much from his shows except the location where the fish is caught
Would like to get him here tie him onto a huge bronzy with thick line and refuse to take the rod and then hear that jordie cry.
Teach him some good and proper Nam manners.
All in all he,s actually OK.

Watched it and it was awesome! Wish we had fish on every cast back here in SA.
Those leeries are much more stockier built than ours we get here... Not as long.
They seem to fight much harder and dirtier too over there

LOL, they did it to him when he came here and fished mazeppa with a small hammer on a trini 50, if i remember correctly he was shouting about almost being pulled into the see and it then tried to nip him when he picked it up and he maoned about being a shark attack victim. if you're in a good mood its comedy but somedays just annoying nut i mostly enjoy the show. i think if you put jeremy wade from river monsters into the same sort of show and destinations it would be amazing!

Absolutely no emphasis on catch and release, Complete tool.
fantastic opportunity to make a difference and make a real quaility show which could teach some to catch and release, but to no avail

those are the 'tropical garrick'
officially the South African, Southern Angolan, Tropical West African and Mediterranean species are one in the same but they all look different (bar the RSA/Southern Angolan which has been confirmed as separate population) and i'm sure genetic tests would reveal at least 3 distinct species
1 - South African
2 - Southern Angolan
3 - Tropical West African
4 - Mediterranean

Total chop irritates the runny brown stuff outa me,gets paid to fly all over the world and does a crap job at it,notice how many times he will go on a charter and land one or two fish and then bugger off and call it a day,totally agree Jeremy Wade knows his stuff not this poopal!
After taking an episode or 2 to adapt to his sense of humour,I enjoy his shows.What he does is a dream any angler would like to do full time. I'd love to island hop and fish where fish are in abundance.
What I also enjoy is his authenticity.He beeches and swears when there's days with no fish,while other similar angling programmes tend to edit all the bad,and just show you the pretty picture.
When he was here in S.A.,he made no bones about battling with our extreme fishing,and didn't hide the fact.He could've edited that,but not having done that proves his authenticity.
I like the show,as it's completely different to other programmes with lots of laughs and humour in between the fishing.
Cheers!
