  • There are alot of things that we dont take away on missions like this as we like to keep things basic and lightweight BUT a BARRAMUNDI on the menu out in the wilderness is worth its weight in gold. On day 2 of our mission down deep into Gulf Country, Cape York AUSTRALIA, we return back to our tree camp from fishing to find 2 Catamarans in the river mouth. We stop and say Gday and then whilst cooking BEER BATTERED BARRA for lunch we set ourselves the challenge of catching them both a Barramundi for dinner. The owners Chris and Terry turn out to be really nice people on an amazing adventure and we share some stories while the suns setting on the bow. These experiences are what make what we do so special and create memories that will be with us forever.
    Shout out to Chris and Terry, Thanks for the trade!
    Shout out to all of you, thanks for all your ongoing support and for all the messages over Christmas.

  • @glennbellamy8492
    @glennbellamy8492 2 года назад +3

    Hi Guys, just a note with the use of the lip grips. You should put your hand/wrist thru the 'laynard' on the grip, the issue being that if one of those fish flick themselves free and overboard with the grips on, other than losing the grips the fish is very unlikely to be able to be able to free themselves and will most likely die. Great video as usual cheers

    @jackcirrito3458 2 года назад +1

    You da Mans¡! ¡! Don't know for sure, but I think what you call a Barra is at least related to what they call a Snook in the US. Here in Mexico where I live the name is Robalo. Years ago i caught one in Manzanio Bay that weighed over15 kilos on live bait. I thought i had a shark or a ray the way it fought. Couldn't believe my eyes when it finally popped up after like 1/2 hour.
    What you do is an INSANE adventure that I get to share with you. So fortunate you have that resource. Thanks for the videos.
