As a kiwi I couldn’t resist watching to see whether you released that beast of a snapper or not. Stoked to see you let that big breeder go. So many people these days don’t and it’s really hammering the ability of the fish stocks to handle fishing pressure. Thanks for being a considerate and caring visitor Taku! If you want any suggestions of places to go fishing or things to do feel free to get in touch, I’m a tour guide and have traveled NZ extensively for work and pleasure and always happy to help :)
The best breaders are 45-65cm ones. Also that fish has bred for 50+ years. Makes more sense killing one old one compared to stopping 7 ones from 40+ years of breading.
Personal opinion I guess.
I would just rather take one fish to feed everyone.
@jeremy sources for your claims please? Would love to read up on snapper spawn rates for research
Taku a good guy 😅
U completely forgot abt your girlfriend and just worries abt yourself lol
@@thedcash26 decades of catching snaps during spawning season. The roe is amazingly bright coloured and beautiful texture in those size fish, the 20lb / 80cm fish have a definite lack of colour and texture. Also killing one big one and stopping the future potential spawn cycles of that singular fish has way less impact then stopping the potential spawn cycles of 7 fish each one many many years younger.
I will always respect Taku because he always takes down the first sip of beer like an absolute champion. Half a can or nothing! lol
Very well done for releasing the giant. Indeed, their breeding capacity is vital (same for huge rockfish back in the Bay Area).
also that fish was probably 30 t0 40 years old
lmao how he gonna haul it back over the mountain with all his gear anywy
@@Mythreesons137. More than that. Good on him for letting it go.
Imagine the mercury and heavy metal in a fish that old!!
@@Mythreesons137. no it wasn't. Lmfao. Don't take long for snapper go grow big. Especially in a remote area like he was in, to catch one that size from shore and not on a boat, says alot of the ecosystem there. The problem is there's too many of them, you see how he caught alot of smalls and only one giant one ? You need to get rid of the small ones to produce the giants. We do it well here in texas, which is why we have big black drums and big redfish u can catch right off the jetties.
Bloody awesome bro, so many people in NZ have tried to be in the 20 pound plus club but still have not, you are here less than a week and you nailed it. Well done bro!
I got lucky!
@@magasiva6963 yeah bro my biggest is 16.5 pound i haven't lock over 20 pound plus just yet.
@@jasonnguyen.7154 one day bro keep charging it.
@@magasiva6963 yo hard. One day 👌👌👌
@@magasiva6963 I’m p Mk
Your excitement resonates through the screen! That was definitely thrilling catching that big fish 👏👏
Had me jumping out my seat when I saw that massive snapper 😂 Good stuff man welcome to New Zealand
I could feel your excitement when you landed that huge snapper! Well done and congrats!
I've followed you from the beginning! and for you to now be in my homeland is Full circle for me! I'm incredibly proud to be from New Zealand and to watch you experience it is amazing!
Let’s go New Zealand!! That was an unbelievable snapper! Released to fight another day. The sashimi looked amazing as always. And making fish stock for the miso soup was a game changer. What a way to start the trip!
As a Kiwi who's followed your channel since that epic hut you stayed at in Alaska, it was such a pleasure to see you land that horse of a snap man well done
The same video that got me on to this guy!😂😂😂
I am so stoked about NZ and your love for fishing is contagiousJocelyn is a rock star!
This show is always presented in a very relaxed way giving me a sense of pleasure of watching it all the time. Every act within comes so natural and unpretentious. Great show indeed, Taku ! Thank you
loved this, fantastic! Jocelyn is such an amazing trooper hauling that lunch cooler the entire way. So proud of you guys, truly.
Well done Taku! This must have felt like redemption after losing the monsters previously.
Just wanna share one point though if you're reading this, circle hooks are not meant to be set violently. Yanking it hard will tend to lose you the fish as the hook may slip out of the mouth. Instead, just let the fish take the bait and reel back slowly until the tension gradually tightens and the hook will set perfectly on the mouth.
Tight lines and may you enjoy every bit NZ offers you.
Taku is a straight up badass. That brought a tear to my eye seeing how happy he was on that catch.
That was a once in a Lifetime Snapper! Congratulations Taku!
Welcome to New Zealand, hope you have an awesome time here!
Another banger from my favorite RUclips fishing channel. How have Outdoor Chef Life not reached 1 million subs is beyond me!
Welcome to New Zealand Taku and Jocelyn! Kahawai are great eating as long as you bleed them out straight away. They are also very popular smoked with manuka wood.
props to the dual, showing us life is simple and full of richness, no big house or expensive cars, big material thing beats what life has to offer 🙏🏽…
Dude, one of your best videos. You should do more vlog videos like this. Show how you got where you are, show your experience. Nice vid. Proud of you. You're growing.
Taku does such a great job bringing his videos to life. He makes the most of it while others battle heat and swat the flies.
Autumn will arrive soon. The weather will feel so fresh and nice then. My favourite season. The winter weather will be great too. Not too cold. Just nice.
Awesome taku, it kind of makes up for the giant fishes you couldn't get in Niue. Your reaction to this catch made me so happy for you ❤❤
"Get outta here birds! It's not for you! NO! Go away" I just love Taku's commentary I chuckled at that one
Hell of a fish Taku and thanks to Joc for the moral support!
Welcome to Aotearoa NZ Taku , well done on the big snapper, be over 30lb for sure and people spend all their lives trying to catch them that big! 🎣 👌🏾
Congratulations Taku! What a fish of a lifetime! I bet Okuma loves to see that happen. Keep it up I love watching you and Joslin. Watching from the Bay Area.
I’ve been following you for over a year now and I’m happy to see you in my country fishing what I use to catch and eat! Enjoy the rest of your time here brother! KIA KAHA keep doing your thing. We love it
Also…. That thing you caught off the rocks was insane mate… I’ve not seen one that big from there before..
Great catch and so glad you released it. One tiny point is not to put plastic bags in the ocean. Haven't looked into it too much but I think you can get enviro-friendly balloons from most tackle stores. Great catch for a new area congrats and enjoy NZ it has some of the most pristine places left on the planet.
You are awesome for releasing that beast and are super aware of your needs and necessities. Knowing you dont need that much meat and releasing it, thats highly admirable for me. Im a noobie fisherman but seeing that inspires me to think differently when catching fish.
Love the excitement with that big snapper, and even better that you released it and kept the smaller fish! What an epic trip 😎
Can't help but smile while hearing the excitement in your voice. Awesome stuff
Yess !! I was so piss when you lost the Tuna in Niue, but now you got an amazing red snapper :)
I love this channel so much ! And the New Zealand videos are incredible.
Thank you Taku and Jocelyn
It's a pleasure having you and your wife here, please enjoy our paradise and a lot of fishermen would be jealous of your monster catch, especially me.
So happy for you two, been here since your first catch and sushi with Ish and can't believe what this channel has grown to in the last few years! Enjoy your time in NZ!
Welcome to New Zealand guys. What a awsome fish bro can't wait to see more. Hope you both have a safe trip around our beautiful little country.
Taku releases a 53 minute video while I'm at work.....now i've got to wait 6 hours before I can sit down and watch it properly.
I’m at work and I’m gonna sit here n watch it properly as I snack 😭😭😭
just got home awhile ago got me a cold one gunna check out this fish he caught
@@theninedivides6851 fucking massive😵💫😵💫😭
Go take a dump or 2 and watch 1/3 of it 😃
@@2Bullies If i do this every time Taku drops a video, l'd have the worst Hemorrhoids .
AHHHH so happy you have made it to little beautiful NZ! Hope you have an amazing time here!
Man, New Zealand looks incredible! I'm really looking forward to your journeys there. Cornish Pilchard is what Brits call sardines from Cornwall. Have a great trip, you two!
Taku, whilst in New Zealand you have to try and catch a kingfish. Their power is pound for pound one of the hardest and dirtiest fighting fish in the ocean. And they make great sashimi. You could try burleying/chumming the water and either try big stick baits , live bait or even shore jigging. Good luck !
Bro you guys are awesome!!! Making our dreamlife back then a reality through your adventure. Keep posting them!!!!
So I just got so pump watching this Im prepping myself to go on the rocks and fish here in Hawaii (vacation). Was just gonna sit and chill but not after this episode!!!
Taku I have followed u since day 1. Your attempts at setting ur toe in this game. The immediate growth, your courage to take this step. Just want to say congratulations. Much respect…so happy for u. I can feel ur happiness thru these clips. Do me one favor………stop wearing ur YBS shorts and top. I saw u had on different shorts and smiled for 29 min. Show YOU, not others…u r who we come to see. May NZ be all u have hoped for and may u be safe, blessed and may J also be happy in spite of the bugs. Show her some love, daily. Thus came about with the both of u at 50/50%.
That was some monster Red Snapper - congratulations bruh, and for releasing it too!
It’s dead anyway
Bro I am 15 I am a cold blooded Kiwi born and raised spent all my life fishing and being outdoors and never caught a fish like that of the rocks good on you mate hope you have a awesome time come back to New Zealand any time you want 🤙
So happy to see you in NZ! I love NZ and have been several times already which included a camper-van road trip around the South Island. Looking forward to seeing what adventures you get up to in this series.
WOW! That was one big snapper!!!! Your hair looks really beautiful, Jocelyn.
I'm loving these long form videos taku! The more the merrier
That technique of slicing the cucumber is slick.. ❤ that sushi though. Yum!
Can’t wait for all the New Zealand content. So happy for you with that giant snapper. The adrenaline rush you captured was amazing my man.
I think your adventures are a blessing for anyone watching. Nature is amazing, the ocean, sea and land. What a wonderful planet we live on! guys, go outside, detox your mind and free your souls.
It’s fishing adventures like these that keep us coming back, even if we get skunked for 10 trips
I'm a grown man but I definitely teared up with joy when you landed THAT fish. So awesome. I was so stoked for you and would have reacted the same way.
I had been fishing with my Dad in Hawaii my whole life and we did a lot of shore fishing. The year before he passed, on his birthday, I had the biggest fish (I think) hooked of my life and after a long battle, I lost it. It was gut wrenching. Dad wasn't able to be on the shore with me during the fight (though I was calling for him to come down) and I remember telling him the story later and he too was both excited and disappointed.
But I also remember him sharing with me that this was all about. You try. You fight. You win some and you lose some. And though I never had the chance to fish with him again after that, I still remember that day (and all the times I fished with him) and give thanks for the memories. I still think about what it would have been like to maybe have landed THAT fish with him being there. So yeah, when you lose some of those fights, I feel that. But when you landed that beast, I couldn't help but feel that was a win for me too.
Side note: I wish your channel existed when he was here -- he would have LOVED it, especially these last two videos. He would easily have teared up too. All this to say, keep up this amazing content and adventure, living life to the fullest. Thanks for being a great role model for fisherman in lots of different ways and thanks to all the work you and Jocelyn do to provide this awesome content. Keep living stoked and with gratitude. Looking forward to your next adventure.
Big thumbs up for the releases and that is from the heart and as an Aussie that loved sashimi way back in the early 80s snapper have been one of my favourite fish for this . Your trip to the land of the long white cloud will be a land seafood dreams and memories of a lifetime .
I've been following you guys for years and I just wanna say I'm extremely proud of yun's 🙂 not many people can accomplish as much as yall have. Congratulations on that snapper and THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU ❤️
Its soooo endearing how excited he is.
Wait one minute. No beer with dinner. I felt good during the video was locked in. Then I was thinking I wonder what kind of beer is taku going to have this time haha? Good video as always
Taku and Jocelyn, you're in my favourite country in the world, doing the things I dream of doing. You're an inspiration for my next trip there, thank you for showing me the way...
I can't believe you made your girl carry the cooler
I was thinking the same thing
Lol bro only when he was filming, was she carrying.
based
Welcome to our nz Taku. So glad you landed your massive Snapper. Yay. Glad you guys enjoyed the place. You and your partner are always most welcome. Safe travels and please come back again..
never seen taku this happy for a very long loooong time lmao
Most dudes would be stoked after catching a fish that big but yeah NZ is a beautiful place
So stoked you're here, really hope you enjoy what NZ has to offer!
Love you guys, I hope you both are alright. Joslyn's body language is a bit off. I hope you can hold that down or she might start looking for some King Mackerel. Perhaps you need a non RUclips Video Vacation, and get a HOME BASE. Just asking because in many of the last videos her body has be saying many things. I hope I am wrong, anyone reading this would agree and say I am delusional. Make sure you HOLD IT DOWN TAKU!
Log off pervert.
The title might be ironic.
@@tsak912 well, she might want something else on the sashimi menu. looks like you and taku may not recognize what a women wants. all in all I could be wrong. however, that body language telling my mind no..but my body.....my body telling me yes!
Agreed, she doesn't look happy at all in this video
@@daztography1sometimes people have arguments and stuff ya know
Dream fishing trip with dream gear! Okuma is by far my favorite gear, I'm heading to Newfoundland in the summer and if things go well I'll pick up a new Okuma rod/reel to bring with me. The Cod are doing very well and are amazing to eat!
wow that's a cool layout for a tiny van. you maximize the space behind the front seats by having the kitchen there instead of the typical straight layout of "vanlife" vans. Only compromise is the entrance is half the original width which imo is worth it.
I've been a fan of Taku since i first saw him on gridlessness with Jeff and family. I knew after seeing him for the first time preping and serving up beautiful fresh food that this guy and his partner was special. He continues to inspire me. His personality, humble, happy,real, knowlege and classy presentation of food is awesome. Great to see him and his wonderful lady in our country. What a great snapper to catch first time fishing here off the rocks. Enough to make some of the bros envious. Tena ka to ka toa ehoa.
Taku, Awesome catch, you finally brought in the Big One. Compare this to the other video where you lost not one but three Big Fish using a short Boat Rod. Thanks to New Zealand for providing the right fishing Rod for over the reef fishing. Save the small boat rod when you go fishing on the boat. Great Job! welcome to the world of reef cliff line fishing...
Hey Taku congrats on landing that amazing snapper last summer and also releasing it too well done your excitement was contagious! Just one thing tho you’ve probably been told by now that if your going to release any fish don’t put your fingers in the gills as this can drastically reduce the chances of your fish to survive. All good bro you’re a champion, keep it up .
My lord Taku, not only a dream fish, but you made what I would consider to be peak meal, that presentation was so simple yet stunning. There is little I love more in life than skin-on (usually torched) Snapper sashimi, with possibly the exception of Snapper head soup, and adding the Dashi, my god dude... I'm literally salivating so much that it requires a conscious effort to keep myself from drooling.
@49.40 Glorious mah brotha, absolutely freakin glorious🤙
Hey taku thankyou for another awesome video,love watchn them. Been a fan for the last 2/3 years! was also a privilege meeting you an your partner in the super market here in Auckland New Zealand, keep the awesome videos coming an we hope you enjoyed your time here in New Zealand
Love all this long series! Keep up the good work Taku!
Was my dream trip too and I live here lol..respect to you both in your sharing with the world our beautiful home..that big fulla gave you a run for your money..love watching your adventures here and in the many beautiful places you hunt and gather the bounty that our planet offers..xx
Wow. You're keen az hiking hills, through the gauze then scaling down a cliff to go back up again. I'm so glad your effort wasn't wasted and you landed a huge one. Really grateful you returned him to the sea and the other small one only taking what you needed. Thank you. You're both welcome here. Eat well!!! Mauri Ora.
Thanks Taku....I wanted to be asleep 3 hours ago but I can't stop watching your videos. Because of you I am going to have to drink extra coffee in the morning.
Watching you land the snapper gave me goosebumps and made me want to go fishing back home!
You guys make me so, so happy. Beautiful energy between you both. Sustainable fishing. Incredible food. Adventures with love and fun. Enjoy the NZ hospitality and incredible scenery. Australia next hopefully?? Love your channel. Thank you from Sydney, Australia xx
These episodes are so good! Keep up the great work! I am living vicariously through you.
Aloha Taku and Jocelyn. Thanks for the awesome content. Can't wait for the next NZ video. My family and I took a family trip to NZ a few years back and it was the best family trip we ever took. Beautiful county with beautiful people. Aloha
this is so cool, international fishing trips are a blast, hope you do more videos like this!
Fantastic to have you here guys. Perhaps let the fish run off with the bait a little longer before winding.
The fishing god has truly blessed you with that giant snapper and you did an awesome job with that catch, photo, and release. 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌. Keep up the awesome video.
Here from Rokkit kits channel. Stoked i came. What a snapper! cant wait to watch all your videos.
I loved seeing the two of you chow down. Great adventure.
Lucky guy, most people fish all their lives and never catch a 10-kilo-plus snapper. You did mostly right, maybe let the big snaps run a little more before you set the hook. You went to the right place to catch big fish so you deserve some luck. Have a great time in NZ!
Palo is an amazing host but you have an amazing chef too. Just wish I had a seat at that table. I can’t wait to visit my family in NZ!!! Thanks Taku for sharing this experience.
Wow what an epic start to the New Zealand Series, can't believe you caught that monster on the LAST bait! Can't wait to see what comes next. Great catch
this has easily become one of my favorite channels!! i found it a few days ago and im hooked i really love watching you guys create the food
You should do collaboration with the My New Zealand Family. They will be coming to the states sometime this year. And watch out for Jaws
Welcome to New Zealand. One Chef to another, I look for to seeing your adventures in our beautiful country.
You deserve a million thumbs up for thinking about the future and letting that beast go. Awesome video as usual!
Thank you brother. What a beautiful catch and cook video that my son Ethan and I enjoyed. My son however said that you and I were the same cause I love knives and fishing and most of all I love cooking for the children. We will follow you from now on brother and hopefully cross paths in the near future. Beautiful video brother❤❤❤
Nice u even had me on the edge of my seat. Love it . I slay it off that bridge behind u . Half tide coming in till hour and half after on light change
Welcome to NZ. I admire your enthusiasm; you have a zest for life that is contagious & it's great to see Jocelyn enjoying your company. Best wishes & travel safe to you both.
Love your channel!! New Zealand is also known for ginormous rainbow and brown trout. If you have time, that would make for a killer fly fishing video!!
Welcome to new Zealand I so ❤️ watching your videos hope you both come to the waikato to do more fishing and cooking 😊😊😊😊
Welcome to New Zealand! I just moved here 3 weeks ago for studies and it’s really such a beautiful place! I hope you enjoy your time here and I will be following your adventures closely to also get inspiration for things to do here in NZ!! Looking forward to all your videos!!!
Hi from Christchurch 🎉hope nz treats you well.
