1
Wait till it comes on.
2
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
3
Now!
4
Now!
5
Now!
6
Pick it up, pick it up.
7
At 2 .30am...
8
Your fish aren't there?
9
...with the tide high, the line begins to run.
10
In the heart.
11
No, off.
12
It's all right?
13
All right.
14
Yep.
15
Shuffling down.
16
At the moment, it just feels like there's a boat on the end.
17
It's just a dead weight.
18
Just changing the ratio there.
19
Yeah.
20
Yeah, that's pulling, that's pulling, that's pulling.
21
It is coming my way.
22
And with nearly 200 yards of line taken in, whatever it is reaches the shore.
23
Holy !
24
What is it?
25
That is huge!
26
One of the best fish I've ever seen!
27
Like something from 20 ,000 leagues under the sea, it certainly isn't a shark.
28
But what on earth is it?
29
It's not a shark, but it is an exceptional fish.
30
It's just remarkable.
31
That is something, isn't it?
32
I've never seen anything like this in my life before.
33
It's what they call the Queensland Groper.
34
This is a monster.
35
I mean, it's not the monster I was after, but this is a monster.
36
It's been three inches.
37
What about the girth?
38
Yeah.
39
Two foot one.
40
Its girth is four foot three inches.
41
Four foot three inches.
42
This is a protected marine fish normally found on reefs, but they're known to come into river mouths like this on rare occasions.
43
Look at that.
44
This fish, even Terry and Ben haven't seen anything like this anywhere like this size, so it's just an amazing catch, and particularly from a river.
45
All right, just, you know, this thing really is a river monster.
46
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
47
Ah!
48
If this one pulls me over, I'm in real trouble.
49
I was nearly tipping forward over that edge because I'm just going a little bit.
50
My groin is starting to ache.
51
It's a strong fish. That rod's jammed in.
52
Such physical stuff.
53
Physical work.
54
It's coming up.
55
Strong fish.
56
But I think it's tiring.
57
Tiring, tiring.
58
There it is.
59
There's the fish.
60
Good grief.
61
My crutch is killing me. And there it is.
62
But does it weigh more than 150 pounds?
63
For the measure of the beast, that is seven foot one, two, three, four, seven foot four inches and then you open the mouth.
64
I can actually hear the echo coming out of the mouth there.
65
Hello, hello!
66
And I can see its gullet opening and closing.
67
If I was so inclined, I could put my fist down there quite easily.
68
That is an eating machine.
69
The whole thing is nearly eight foot of just solid, rippling muscle.
70
If that grabbed hold of your leg, that's an unpleasant enough thought, but if that decided not to let go and you were swimming, you'd be history.
71
I'm about 175 pounds on a good day or a bad day, depending on how you look at it.
72
This fish could be more than that.
73
74 kilos.
74
That's about 163 pounds.
75
Not quite as big and fat and ugly as I am.
76
Instead of running away, it's coming in to check me out.
77
I can't imagine what the shark is making of this experience.
78
It's gone again.
79
With a lot of fish, you see them up on the surface, you see them close in, You think that's it.
80
They're nearly done.
81
I think this one was just coming up partly out of curiosity.
82
What's all this?
83
What's happening?
84
Now he's checked me out.
85
He's not coming anywhere near again.
86
Last time the shark brought things to an early end by rolling on the line.
87
This one seems set for the long haul two hours It's a different phase of the fight now it was tearing around,
88
you know Using speed in the early stages There it is again.
89
There it is again.
90
There it is again Yeah, it's definitely some tactics going on the speed didn't work.
91
So now just a Bit of a war of attrition
92
this is punishment two hours into the fight the shark begins
93
pulling the boat towards some shallows one to three meters now by now the battle is beginning to attract attention
94
this is turning into an event everyone wants to see this shark
95
i can see the fish i can see the fish back to two meters
96
if my line catches a rock down there it could cut through
97
and the shark will be gone we've got to get away from the rocks
98
we're still in two meters now i've got a boat full
99
of scientists relying on me to get this shark in the
100
tension on board is palpable four meters okay i've got right i've got the line
101
if it goes it can go without the line catching anybody put
102
that line around the right have Have you got the toe straight round?
103
Yeah.
104
Good, OK, brilliant.
105
Got a good hold?
106
Yeah.
107
OK.
108
This is my biggest catch ever, and two and a half hours is by far my longest fight.
109
It's astonishing to think that I've hauled this beast from a river.
110
But I was lucky to get it in at all, because it was foul hooked in the side, snagged on a flap of skin between the gill slits.
111
The scientists want to know why the sharks are here.
112
Right, this is like a sort of timers of the essence.
113
And they're actually, they're starting to pump water to irrigate the gills.
114
That buys a little bit more time.
115
Last year's giant catch was a heavily pregnant female, which led the scientists to assume she was in this river to deliver her two -foot -long pups.
116
Our expectation is that this fish, too, is female.
117
Three, two, one.
118
It's a male!
119
Our first catch, and we have answered one of our questions.
120
It looks like the Briada River is a place where sharks come to feed.
121
Three, two, one.
122
Nine and a half feet, and with an estimated weight near 500 pounds,
123
he's one of the largest bull sharks ever caught anywhere and I'm returning him back into the river.
124
I've just hooked a massive fish.
125
Is this the one I'm after?
126
I'm going to have to go for a swim.
127
I don't know what I'm thinking, apart from being desperate not to lose this fish, regardless of my own safety.
128
Wait till it comes on.
129
Wait, wait, wait.
130
Now!
131
Now!
132
Now!
133
That is a serious -sized gunch.
134
That is a man -sized animal.
135
That is as big as a person.
136
It's bigger than a lot of people around here.
137
That is a big fish.
138
They do exist, the gunch.
139
They do exist.
140
Six foot of muscle behind that mouth, and those teeth are just like shark teeth pointing back.
141
If that got hold of you, there'd be no getting away.
142
When I was diving with Rick, and we were seeing these beasts under the water, and they just look so otherworldly.
143
Is it a hallucination?
144
Do these things really exist?
145
And yes, the goonch does exist.
146
It's just the absolute perfect predator, huge mouth on there, huge, huge, huge mouth.
147
And if anything just comes down within range of that mouth, it's too late.
148
I mean, big as this fish is, the fish that is taking people would be bigger than this.
149
I mean, it wouldn't actually need to be more than a couple of feet longer, but that would really give it a bit more weight.
150
I mean it would probably weigh twice as much as this
151
and you know just the thought of
152
that is quite terrifying okay is it off the ground now yes okay 166 161 pounds

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
