The WRASSE is the most BEAUTIFUL fish in the ocean!

Is this the most amazing-looking fish in the ocean? I know the Napoleon Wrasse is one of the most highly sort after fish to catch on topwater by anglers worldwide.
I still can't believe I caught this Wrasse on topwater, it truly is a fish of a lifetime for me.
This channel is about slow jigging metal jigs for big red emperors in places like Yeppoon through to Giant Trevally GT on topwater lures on the Great Barrier Reef. My "Saltwater Fishing" channel is all about teaching tips and techniques to help you catch more fish. Mixed in will be some snapper fishing techniques and lure fishing tips for estuary fishing. From my years of tournament fishing, I have learned to pay attention to detail, and the small things make a difference in catching a couple of fish or a lot of fish.

Hi my brother,
How are you and Jelena doing?
Looks as though youse have definitely got back into the swing of living back in beautiful tropical Queensland after your holiday in the snow.
Jelena your country looks so so beautiful.
Any Maori Wrasse is stunningly beautiful, and what i class as a truly MYSTICAL CREATURE.
They come in so many colours and hues, the deepest of blues, the brightest of greens, and then there are the grey versions, i do agree Dean, these are one of the most beautiful fish in the ocean.
And that's a massive statement to make, as there are so many incredible-looking fish in the oceans of the world.
The Maori Wrasse is not only beautiful because of its colours, but there is also a lot more to this fish.
Summed up in a word, it"s "PRESENCE".
This fish has the ability to capture you in time, the awe of its presence.
Somehow making time feel as though it has stopped as you begin to take in the magnificence of this true ENTITY of the OCEAN.
The stunning array of colours as they blend into one another, the shape of this fish, its form, its purpose and also its unmistakable POWER, they are BRUTES.
Some say if it wasn't for their colours, they would be UGLY.
Well without colour, i still say they are beautiful as it is more than their colour that appeals to me.
I was blessed with an encounter with one of these hefty brutes many years ago, fishing off Cairns on an area of huge spherical bombies in approx. 40 meters of water, absolutely crystal clear, a mill pond, not a breath of wind.
I dropped my baited line and got to see a stunning Deep green and blue Maori Wrasse appear from nowhere and approach my bait.It swam up to my bait laying on its side.
It was such a bizarre thing to witness.
It stopped before inhaling my Sqid and WA pilchard stuffed bait presentation.
The Wrasse was very large, size wise i had no idea other than big.
It seriously looked right into my eyes with its massive globe of an eyeball staring into my soul.
At that precise minute, i could sense the Wrasse's intelligence.
This wasn't just a beautiful fish, this was a stunningly beautiful and INTELLIGENT fish.
It then ingested my bait, turned its head towards the ocean bed and motored off like a jet.
Never to be seen again.
I was absolutely mesmerised.
Regards
Dave.

hahahaha amazing story mate. Yes they are superb fish and very powerful. If they can see a bombie or the reef they will pull a GT backwards. Most amazing fish i have ever come across and always in awe every time i see one.

Fish of a lifetime bro and to get it on your own boat is even more special.
What was the rod you used?

[@SilvestersSaltwaterFishing]

Yes mate, so cool and to be filming at the same time was even better so now i have it forever. The rod was an Okuma Pressure point mate.
