Greg can pretty much damn near catch anything in the ocean....

bigbarrels · 08-05-2013, 09:01 AM

We need a Catch of the Week section

Raskal311 · 08-05-2013, 09:30 AM

Just curious but what type of damage should one expect on a reel thats been in the water that long?

GregAndrew · 08-05-2013, 12:26 PM

Funny you should ask that Raskal. The hook, while showing signs of rust, was still mostly shiny. So those of you that think a hook is gonna rust out in a few days might need to rethink. There was little to no corrosion apparent on the outside of the reel. But then again, it was a Sealine, and they really are bullet proof.

Mr. Andrew...

True, some luck there for sure. But, dang.... MAD skills Mr. Andrew. Well done sir.

That's an amazing piece of video and quite an accomplishment!

i soaked the reel in fresh water over night. the next day the reel feels as good as new! i was planning to take it in to be serviced, but now i may just use it... like greg said, "bulletproof"!

Superman indeed.
Always willing to teach you something, help with your catch, and now, retrieve your rod from DJL.
Superb.

All this talk of luck and Skill...

That is what makes a good fisherman great.

Greg is all of that and also a fantastic human being.Thanks again Greg

i'm impressed

looks like this is better than a fishfinder, you can actually see at the bottom

maui jim · 08-07-2013, 04:23 PM

Greg... You best be playing Powerball Lotto tonite...

Well done Greg!!

Bigfish92084 · 08-07-2013, 09:30 PM

Wow!!! Awesome, just awesome.
I'm finding out how cool most of the fishing kayakers are.
Looking forward to meeting some of you soon.

Thanks for posting the video... was really neat to see.
How deep was it?

GregAndrew · 08-07-2013, 09:32 PM

what? Greg didn't do a complete tear down and service on the reel before returning it to you? Sheeesh..

Greg's awesome.. met him on the Islander and saw his GoPro skillz in person. Impressive, to say the least! My son loved his halibut video also!

He targets a specific rod & reel, and gets it! I can barely target lizardfish!

Awesome story!

wiredantz · 08-08-2013, 08:38 AM

Greg is one amazing guy

467echo · 08-08-2013, 08:52 AM

That is just badass, to see your setup sitting on the ocean floor. Too bad you didn't hook something at the same time. If I ever drop gear in the drink I won't feel bad, I'll just call Greg!!
