Mahimahi Videos from Josh Jensen
I have two peachy back to back video clips for to post, so have loaded them up for everyone to see on YouTube!
Taken by Josh Jensen from www.underseaproductions.com aboard (or rather under) Bite Me of Richard landing a mahi mahi.
Very cool clips…
Josh and Liz are a husband-wife photo/video team with a keen interest and years of experience in all aspects of the underwater world.
They’ve been lucky enough to work on some of the world’s best dive boats (including Fiji’s own Nai’a) over the past six years and gain plenty of experience filming and photographing people, beautiful scenery, and creatures great and small – from tiny nudibranchs right up to humpback whales.
Over the years they’ve refined their craft and enjoyed shooting in all conditions and in a variety of habitats – from silty night dives under dirty wharfs, to crystal clear open ocean, to screaming currents on some of the most beautiful reefs in the world – and we’ve loved every minute of it!
We were lucky enought o have them out at Matava to do a lot of filming for their DVD “Marine Life of Fiji and Tonga“, a video identificaiton guide to 1272 animal and plant species. Two DVDs plus a 14-page reference booklet… learn more and watch a sample chapter.
These days they have devoted all their time and energy to thier underwater work and business, Undersea Productions,www.underseaproductions.com.
New GT Record
Until recently, Bite Me’s Popper Casting GT record was held by visiting angler Dan Ryan with a very respectable GT of about 30kg. This week Phil Calderon, originally from Costa Rica but visiting from California, smashed the existing record with a whopping GT that would have gone about 80lbs using the GGxFL/800 formula, had the fish not been released.
