You have been doing this so long clay it was just today at around 10:30am I found one of your videos whilst looking for bush videos newzealand .. I've been binge watching your videos all-day it's now 4pm .. I live on the east coast of the north island ... You are one of a kind clay . An amazing man ... Your kontiki video has to be my favorite. And the one when you out on the lady's farm and found that honey in tree .. I'm learning so much
It is beautiful there. I was the same way when I could walk around and fish also, everyone called me Compadre, because almost every night I gave them fish. "Compadre" means Good Friend, almost like a brother.
Clay you are a very mindful person. I have observed that. People may not agree with your hunting etc. I am non -veg turned veg myself but I would never judge. Let me know if you come to the UK.
Amazing video All the gear and no idea🤔 You make awesome use of what you’ve got and gratitude is what gives you your rewards mate👌🥃 Absolute paradise that some locals guarantee don’t even know is on their doorstep
Set a net yesterday off the beach up here on the kapiti coast, got 4 big gurnads, a few big kahawai, a red cod, a few decent sharks and a jack makrel believe it or not! Best haul we've got in years! I'll message ya a picture 🤘
Great video Clay. Looks like you want to sharpen the tips on that treble or whip it off and go with a single hook. It's amazing just how many more fish you can hook and hold on them. It's also a lot easier to sharpen a single on the go with a small whet stone. Keep up the fantastic videos fella.
A tip for trawling is to take the treble hook off and put a single hook on, they tend to set a lot better. I’ve lost fewer fish since doing this to my lures.
Treble hook was loosing your fish either blunt or bent or too large for the smaller fish mouths use a decent single and easier to remove and lasts longer
I've cought many fish on budget rods and reels, filled freezers full of wild game every season with a single shot shotgun and 30-30 marlin lever action . Gear doesn't make the hunter .
Just watched the vid again mate (brilliant) can you catch the kahawai and snapper all year round clay? NZ looks absolutely amazing so tranquil looking absolute perfection.
@@ClayTallStories the last couple of vids you have put up you've caught 2 cracking kahawai good fighting fish them your a good fisherman clay I mainly fish for rainbow trout in scotland which is fun, fishing in NZ looks awesome thanks for all the vids mate 👍
Clay Tall Stories interesting I’ve got a few of the new style square trebble hooks apparently they are not ment to let go but obviously as your video shows they still do good to know cheers
Mate you need to invest in a in car camera mount will be better than driving and holding the cam in one hand , don’t want to see you get in strife mate
Write Santa a letter to see if he can bring you a shimano rod and reel seeing he never brought you that bike you wanted. He never brought me my bike either! What a _ unt! Try this clay and let me know how this works for you. Get rid of all your treble hooks and replace with single mustard hook no1 and notice the difference as you will land about 90% MORE FISH and it also allows the lure to move better in water.👍
you were very lucky the water was so calm when you had to paddle I once got stuck on a lake in an inflatable and my paddle broke while trying to fight the wind back home.
Hey bro really enjoy seeing your life styles. I'm in Christchurch but have been up that way a few times and so know how magical it is. I do a lot of fishing down here particularly Kahawai at the river mouths. I see from another comment that the lure was new. A number of years ago I stopped using treble hooks in favour of a single hook as it nearly always ends up at the side of the fishes mouth. Only and I say only on the very rare occasion is the fish lost and if so through my poor technique. Also catch and release is very easy if you choose as the hook is always at the side of the mouth. So next time may I recommend a No.3 hook instead of the treble just to see what results you have? Best regards and again I'm certain you bring a lot of joy into peoples lives by your positivity. PS I'm also a muso so if you're ever in my neck of the woods please look me up for a fish and jam. Greg.
@@ClayTallStories All good mate. You might want to try No. 2 or 3. Last year over on the West Coast the Kahawai we caught were nearly 4kg which is big in anyone's book. Those fish will bend anything less than a 3. Keep up the great work mate.
Wow that's a one big fat fish , loved sashimi... I was a sushi a maker back in he Php 15 years ago.. it's hard to find fresh fish here in abu dhabi.. for sashimi
I miss nz watching your vlogs mate,i could think of nothing better than being on the water back home with a sunset like that
Best one yet!
Treat yourself to a nice rod, mate.

Miss watching your videos had abit of a hard time with the loss of my darling that looked 100 percent like po

Majestic bro
Please tell me someone else heard him call it boas bayting in motueka 😂😂
lol...I did not even pick that up while editing. Totally backwards as usual.
Hey mate just a tip worth trying take the treble hook of and replace with a single hook up be amazed how many less will get of your line cher
I keep hearing this from everyone. It might be time for a change.
It's definitely true
i know it's pretty randomly asking but does anyone know a good website to stream new movies online?
@Braden Eliseo Ehh I watch on flixportal. you can find it through google:D -hugo
@Hugo Jayden Thanks, signed up and it seems to work :) Appreciate it!!
Treble hook was loosing your fish either blunt or bent or too large for the smaller fish mouths use a decent single and easier to remove and lasts longer
I keep hearing this message

Just watched the vid again mate (brilliant) can you catch the kahawai and snapper all year round clay? NZ looks absolutely amazing so tranquil looking absolute perfection.
Snapper are seasonal where I live. Kahawai are all year around but more prolific in spring and summer.
@@ClayTallStories the last couple of vids you have put up you've caught 2 cracking kahawai good fighting fish them your a good fisherman clay I mainly fish for rainbow trout in scotland which is fun, fishing in NZ looks awesome thanks for all the vids mate 👍
Hi clay is your trebble hook the new style hook or is it the old style rounded one? Cheers
The new ones. i liked the older ones better.
Clay Tall Stories interesting I’ve got a few of the new style square trebble hooks apparently they are not ment to let go but obviously as your video shows they still do good to know cheers
Can you do a bloopers video
most of my entire videos are bloopers....did you not see how many fish I lost here? Yeah mate. I have a few real beauts stored up.
Change your hooks or sharpen them mate.......geez!
That was a brand new lure from Coppins. Straight out of the packet.
Yes it's MAXI pads for woman lolz
Mate you need to invest in a in car camera mount will be better than driving and holding the cam in one hand , don’t want to see you get in strife mate
yep I do
Take that triple hook off and put on a single the triple hooks r rubbish mate trust me
U r not the first to say this mate. Hmmmm
The one thing I look forward to every day
Absolutely Beautiful, I totally miss the country life..
Love that little Commando boat mate, rocking. Great calm waters also. Nice one.
I am not big on camo but it's all that was available when I bought this one. They are epic boats and I sell them from time to time.
Same here, good to unwind from a hard days work with a episode of Clay 😎😎 Premo shots with the selfie stick👍

Wot beautiful place pal..
Use to turn my nose up to kahawai including the row yesterday we smoked some up was bloody beautiful
smoke roe is to die for mate. Good tucker
Lovely weather mate, not like here in the UK, another good video.
We also get our share of crappy weather.Thanks Ray.
hi clay why do you bleed your fish i have never done that
It tastes better for most people with out the blood through the flesh
Wow that's a one big fat fish , loved sashimi... I was a sushi a maker back in he Php 15 years ago.. it's hard to find fresh fish here in abu dhabi.. for sashimi
Making sushi is an art. Something I want to learn more about.
You would make a great fishing show🐟
A cheap and old rod is always the best 😉
Nice 😊
Cracking fish mate and beautiful place to live now tell us the story about pace
Pace knew that I had two tumors growing in me that were going to kill me.
@@ClayTallStories friend for life then mate 👍
Hey Clay, any chance of a pup? We live in Wellington.
By the way, if you're ever up this way, and if you'd like, I'll take you fishing on the straight, gear supplied.
