Big catches sometimes require taking big risks, but what these guys are up to is simply breathtaking. This is as extreme as rock fishing gets…

Let us begin by stating the obligatory: We don’t recommend this, don’t try it at home and don’t show it to your kids.

Now that’s out of the way, get ready to experience the excitement, adventure and risk involved in lure spinning for pelagics on the Australian coast. It’s gnarly stuff, and the boys from MorningTide are copping it a little, with some saying their fishing techniques are going a little too far. To that, they say:

“If you're comfortable in big conditions being washed in isn't so scary. We try and push ourselves to land good fish but you won't see us fishing impossible conditions, we know our limits.”

Check out the amazing fishing video below and see for yourself, and again, we don’t recommend trying this yourself.
