- Hi Guys & Girls
On this video, we finally got it right. BIGGER is BETTER!
We were on the hunt this winter for a big Musselcracker, and for the past month we made it our soul mission to catch one. The amount of Kilometers drove and walked after this fish makes it all worth it at the end. Graaitjie landed his first Musselcracker, and what a monster!
A fish of a lifetime!
Musselcrackers reach maturity at 35 cm fork length at an age of about 5 years. which is quite interesting,
White musselcracker have thick lips, powerful jaws and large teeth which enable it to eat black mussels, Siffies, urchins, whelks, crayfish, redbait, Armadillo, and Alikreukel..
Juveniles, which have bright orange fins, and are common in tidal pools.
Daily bag limit: 2 per person per day
Minimum size limit: 60 cm total length
Closed Season: None
We also caught some nice size Steenies and a couple of kilometres away we found and saved a big Steenie that's estimated around 23,24kg as it was definitely full of eggs.
Hope you guys enjoy the video!

Now there's something you don't see everyday. Well done guys 🎣🎣
Well done on the fish guys and especially the release of that beautiful steenie much respect and keep doing what you doing. No harm in keeping something for the pot know how many you release. Great footage it just gets better and better!
Thanks Sheldon, appreciate it.. Yeah i hate to apologize for keeping a fish to eat.. obviously a 7,8kg Cracker would have been better haha but well deserved Graaitjie on his catch
Big respect! And thank you for not giving the exact location of that prime spot because people will destroy that fish population in that area, Greed is a big enemy in our prime spots ! I salute you guys 🙏
Agree 100%. And those prime locations are getting less by the day due to anglers' ego (to their own detriment at the end of the day). Remote working from covid allowed for unprecedented Semigration patterns to more untouched parts of our coastline and increased fishing presure. Not to mention improved technology like the game changing braid. We need more MPA's to ultimately save our red listed endemic fish species. It's not all negative though, at least drone fishing is illegal now, protecting the sensitive zone which can neither be reached by the rock & Surf angler nor boats. And also tag & release efforts are trending more now theses days🏆
😂yes because real fusherman believe fish stays in one spot and not to help others
Thank you. Absolutely amazing, awesome catch and release. And for reviving the mother to be Steeny, absolutely devine, great job.
Thanks Yogas, hope there's a lot op people that would have done the same
Awesome Steenbras My Late Grand father and His brothers used to catch that size in Simonstown long before they Built newer Dockyard some time in the 1940's

I think you should not share where you catch, the exact spot, othsr people wil not release big fish. Keep spot
Great catches, and excellent on those releases of breeding fish. Great video brother.
I was privileged to see the fishes when the guys walked home along the beach with big smiles on their faces! Respect to you... will keep on trying myself.

Great video!!,en releases🎣🎣
Much respect to u sir on saving that steenbras 🎣👍
Thanks you
Ag go away Victor...im jealous. Well done boys
hahaha Thanks Matthys
Great catch guys and great Vids, i would suggest if you planning to release the fish that's caught at least take care of it when landing it , that Steenbras scales were of its body because it was dragged along the rocks/shingle , most likely will die , just a suggestion. Nice spot and release on that female steenie , fair play 👍👍
Altyd n nat poes wat kla …#fokkof
awsome video!!!!
Awesome stuff gents👌🏼🎣
Hi guys can u tell me which area are use fishing in the overberg.great video i want my dad to take me there

Beautiful fish and release 👌
Kudos for reviving the Mother 🙏
Some great catches !! Just one question: why is the gaff necessary?
Hi Aiden, it was the anglers call, at the end it wasn't necessary to gaff i guess but it was his first cracker and viskoors was high. After this video he swopped the gaff with a net🤙
👏🏽
Releasing your fish is the respect nature deserves 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Stywelyne manne
6pm is a loooong way away😭
