Rage Against the Shadow Cast

Approaching 60.000 views on YouTube and Vimeo, Tapani´s little satire on the art of fly casting is still causing massive controversy online.

Especially on YouTube, where haters and lovers leave their comments on a regular basis. In fact, some viewers were getting so heated up by this little video that we had to start moderating the comments!

Some of my favourite comments:

His haul is shite.

“But there are situations.” – hahhahahhhahhahhaha 🙂

Stupid cast…no, there are not situations. Idiots!

So you manically slap the water with 20′ of line, lose contact with it, and slop a slack line forward, instead of an easy back/forward cast? Why?…If it’s intended to make fun of fly fishing, it’s just lame. Fine material for short attention span Youtuber’s, I suppose. Don’t perfect a craft…”Post” and cackle.

You all need to pull your fingers out of your assholes and take a chill pill. This video is obviously lighthearted, and if you fail to see that, you must be a horrible person to go fish with. Christ, what ever happened to personal style and taste? Have a laugh, dry out your waders, and stop being so damn negative and critical.

It is hard to pick a winner, but the final comment by “johnkay33” really stands out.

What’s the point of all the splashing and movements? Maybe impressive for non-flyfishers, but for us flyfishers…; Funny stupid thing to do.

KJetil: That is exactly the question we were trying to answer with this video;)
