Hello Gerrit,

I didn't realize Merlins are that big. Interesting shot with the fisherman trying to move such a large fish. The image is well composed with good colours and sharpness. Thanks Gerrit.

Hi Gerrit,
A very interesting capture indeed. Amazing achievement this fishermen did ... worth posting in the newspaper. To catch this monster on a hand line is short is just fascinating ... let alone on a small boat ... what an adventure. Excellent work! tfs
Cheers,

Hi Gerrit,

very nice of a daily life scene. It's kind of sad to see the dead fish but that's life. We need to eat and someone needs to make money with that. Very good work!

Gerrit,
it seems to be a dangerous business to catch a merlin, at least the bag on the sword implies that. What a huge fish, the man gives the right scale and - yes - it is amazing to see that these fishes are catches with a line and two people pulling it out of the water.

Hi Gerrit

A superb daily life shot, with a wonderful colour contrast between the brown skin tones & the cyan sea. Good sharpness & nice reflections in the wet sand. Well done!

Hallo Gerrit,

Ja dit is een prestatie op zich, en misschien wel levensgevaarlijk om dit op een plank te krijgen, het zijn krijgers deze mannen, maar ja vis zal een voorname bron zijn van voeding.
Op het juiste moment op de juiste plaats om deze mooie foto te maken, zeer goed gedaan, prachtige kleuren ook.
Bedankt!

Prettige dag verder,
John.

Dag Gerrit,

Fa waka? You caught a really biggest hunt while fisherman is busy for preparing. Powerful waves with white foams and his natural, uninformed pose with reflections are runs here very well. Congratulations.

Best Regards,

Ertugrul
PS. Are you giving break some times?

Bonjour Gerrit,
impressionnant ce merlin, on sait que les poissons sont vifs et très souples, le danger de se faire embrocher n'est pas nul.
Une photo spectaculaire sur cette pêche audacieuse.
Une excellente qualité technique.
Regards.
Daniel.

Interesting daily life post, Gerrit. Big fish indeed, taking almost the whole width of the frame. The small waves are excellent as background, in attractive diagonals and good sharpness... regards, Daniel

Hi Gerrit,
Great nature shot of this hardy fisherman landing this giant sports fish. It does seem amazing how two men can handle such a beast. Great colros and detials.

Hello Gerrit
A very interesting post. I guess these fishes wash onto Indian shores as well, but I don't know whether they're caught here. Excellent colours for the very good daily life scene!
