Team ROCK is scouting new Black Bass pastures. The names of these areas do not feature on western maps…

Mega Napoleon catch and release 🇵🇬 Sudest Exploration Camp 2016 🇵🇬⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣Did you know that Napoleon Wrasse can live to 30 years in age and grow in excess of 300lb? We are looking forward to developing a new best practices and conservation program for this species over the coming year when the world returns to normal. This specimen was a by-catch whilst fishing for Dogtooth Tuna - it was revived and released. The biggest threat is illegal keep and sale mentality for international markets (not recreational fisherman!)⁣⁣

Our brother Yoshi applying the heat but still gets murdered by monster 🇵🇬 Uncle Stew doing Uncle Stew things - we don’t interrupt ✌🏻⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣——-⁣ ⁣モンスターGTヒット！６０㌔クラス！！DOGFIGHTはフルドラッグ！！ソウルズプロットロッド！！The frieght train that came up on my popper could not be stopped! Popping just of the reef Stewart Newnham and I see this massive brown missile come from the right and smash the popper! I already had the drag set almost to the max. As I started to try and pull it away from the reef, it started to try and pull me out the boat! As Stew tried and retrieve his line which was in a huge wind knot! I could only take a knee and set anchor!! Cranked down more drag trying anything to slow the beast down!! At this point my knee was being shredded on the wsand covered wood deck! I moved to the bench. The GT made another mad surge, something had to give! The swivel pulled straight out the doubled up 220lb leader!! Once everything settled I hear Hamilton are boat operator say that was a very big fish! Stew estimated it to be in the 60 kilo range! There will be a round 2 to this battle in the future!!⁣

Frontier Part 1: Ryan vs Giant Trevally on the Beach

Part 1: Ryan casts a Fisherman Long Pen directly into the bucket mouth of a Papua New Guinea Giant Trevally.

A breathless day casting stickbaits amongst Fusilier schools at the Frontier Reefs 🇵🇬🇵🇬🇵🇬 ⁣ ⁣⁣

From the archives, Richard gets f**king railed... Dogtooth on topwater spinning tackle on the southern Sudest barrier reef 🇵🇬 🇵🇬 🇵🇬⠀⁣ ⁣⠀⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣

“Giant Trevally patrol here in reckless abandon, devoid of human fear and in staggering numbers. The GT dominates the surf line, lagoon and the only passage of the atoll, located on the western, leeward side. The passage, where current and tidal movement control the lifeblood of the atoll is separated by “Spam” Island, where only the strongest survive. The passage is Kanton’s GT nerve centre.” 🇰🇮🇰🇮🇰🇮

How else do you explore undiscovered mega-waters?! You use brute PNG power and know-how to build an adhoc bush boat ramp, from the rushing waters of the Strickland into a long lost Oxbow, dragging our 23ft skiff hundreds of yards through the jungle. When I say this is unfished, undiscovered and long-lost - this is the real damn deal. Bring your big balls 🤙🏼 ⁣

IF ONLY WE CAUGHT THIS FISH 😭⁣

“Itchy and Scratchy” in ya face at Kanton 🇰🇮 🇰🇮🇰🇮⁣

A mash of clips from 2015 Kanton Atoll campaign. Footage is cut from a clients compact camera from an afternoon of 8 GT hook-ups on fly! You'll note the aggressive nature of GT accompanying the hooked fish right into shore as prelude (or post) spawn behavior. ⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣Find out more information about our Kanton Atoll GT Fly-Fishing Expeditions at: https://rockexpeditions.com/ 🇰🇮🇰🇮🇰🇮⁣

A beast Niugini Bass smashes a hooked Barra and lure as it flounders on the surface. Stunned, we weren't sure what was going on until it was too late and the beast had taken both us and the Barra to the cleaners down in the black timber. Was this a magical 40lber? Hard to say, but the size was impressive when I initially thought it was another 80/85cm Barra. #rockexpeditions #niuginiblackbass #blackbass #blackwater #flyriver #papuanewguinea Join us this June to August as we continue to scout the Herbert, Strickland and Fly. You won't get a better deal than this 2019 season. Contact: [email protected] Visit Papua New Guinea
