About 2 or so years ago my gf and me had a phase where we were watching every video you were uploading. We eventually stopped and slowly forgot, but we saw an upload every once in a while pop up and reminisced about the comfy evenings watching your videos. Yesterday, we watched part 1 of this one and now part 2, we love it and we will be watching more again soon. You live our dream man, being able to just camp at a remote island, breathe the fresh air, feel the breeze and the ocean... I bet the stars look amazing at night there.
U have an amazing life my friend ,thank u for sharing a part of it with us all, I live in a small NYC apartment with my wife and a few furballs , I love them all ,but I would love to have a week living in ur shoes , probably won't happen anytime soon ,so I will just have to live vicariously through u ,thank u again and God bless .
I went 5 days in New york , Amazingly huge and speed , because i live in New Caledonia surrounded by biggest world lagoon .this is our all days life ! Merry christmas and happy 2025 to you two !
100% my favourite channel, it takes priority over anything else when a new episode drops. What a fish at the end to finish off with and take home for the family. Thanks Rokkit for another awesome episode
Good lord. I don't even know what I'm looking at. It's been a few years since I've seen the ocean. All of this looks surreal. Greetings from Alberta, Canada.
Your adventures are absolutely incredible and inspiring man! You were one of the reasons I took to ocean kayak fishing 5 years ago. I have to say as an American in Southern California who fishes in areas heavily trafficked by commercial boats, drunk tourists on jet skis and wealthy retirees with poor night vision, watching you pitch a camouflage tent to sleep in your boat gives me anxiety! Haha stay safe man!
Your videos are amazing and inspiring and thanks for all you show us, your videos help me get away from the stress of daily life seeing those beautiful backdrops and views and amazing looking fish! 😋
Wassup Rod! I started watching your videos after your trip with Malosi and Briggsy. I tell you what.. I can't stop watching. It's video after video! So cool and interesting stuff you do out there...pole fishing, spear fishing, survival... the coolest is the scrounging the islands for slippers (thongs)! Amazing stuff you can find! Ironic coz it's among trash but very useful to a person like you. Your catch and cooks are simply amazing! Good stuff Rod! Aloha! 👌🤘🤙👊👍
t's a nice kingfish at the end. Spanish mackerel do not get that big. That's a king mackerel. You can also tell by the lateral line. They are different on the Spanish. Spanish or smaller and have yellow spots. I have been fishing offshore recreationally, competitively, professionally, and commercially for 51 years now. Each of those years so far have included at least 30 trips. That is a kingfish that weighs between 25 and 30 lb. If that were a Spanish it would be a world record.
What an amazing adventure. I was right in there with you mate. How beautiful are the islands and the reef fish. Really super Spanish Mackerel - great job. Thanks heaps. All the best.
What a spectacular part of the world! That underwater footage was next level. Seriously though, after seeing all those sharks, there’s no way I’d be getting in there 😂😂
Brilliant video Rod ! Fresh fish straight from the sea is simply a delicacy, lucky you ! I learned filleting a fish from you, thank you very much 😊👍Yum !
We all have challenges and problems of course, but Rod my man you live a truly blessed life. The freedom, space and beauty you get to enjoy is incredible and you have the skills to match the environment. A joy to experience with you in these videos. Respectful envy from all the way over here in grey, miserable London.
What a way to end your episode my friend thank you so much. That was exciting when at first when the Spanish was coming at you, I thought it was a shark maybe? But when I watched the entire video again on my big screen TV, I knew oh that’s a delicious hunt much love and support from Monterey California.🌊🤙🏼
Found your site a few days ago now, and have binged watched ever since lol .... I'm from UK living in Philippines .... absolutely love what you do, yer a stand out performer against a lot of other similar channels .... please don't change 5* ... take care always and thanks again ❤ Fat Baz
Brilliant. Reminds me of being laughed at at MarsaAlam in Egypt, on the no wind days on a windsurfing trip when I'd be fishing and catching nothing. Eventually I used a boat and landed a barracuda that was 2m long.
What a great video Rod, my god. Your heart rate would have nearly stopped when you seen the fish. I’m pretty sure I heard you cheer when you nailed it under the water. 😂. I was waiting for the sharks, lucky. Hope you make it south to Victoria for some fishing. Cheers Glen
I love the boat tent rig you use even the old one to, but I've always thought it was missing one thing, have you ever thought about useing some kind of paracord or bungee cord between your front and back anchor points on the inside. It would give you a little more of a ridgeline for shedding water to the sides and it should give you a little more riggidity in the wind, and if your lucky you might even get another inch or two of head room out of it. Good luck, have fun, stay safe. OH and don't forget to catch a big one.😉😊 Holly crap you did catch a big one.😁😁
Don't mean to be soppy. I just want to say thanks for what you're doing. 50 next year and even though I fish, iv never camped while fishing. Not anything as grand as yours but tomorrow in doing a three day trip on the Dorset coast. Might do a bit of catch and cook. Anyway I hope you know how much thousands appreciate you. Got some mental health stuff going on but I'm not getting into that hahaha. So stay safe and keep doing your ❤
Excellent spanish at the end like u day to top off the trip❤ fellows over here always have some sort of towel u leave in the esky to cover up ur fish. Helps keep everything nice and chilled. Just wet the towel and place on top of the fish and your ice 👍👌
Great video Rod specially catching the Spanish And the amazing camera work With the great camera work I bought myself projector big screen For my cinema room fa tastes to watch.😊
I also thought that last one was a shark. What a great way to finish this outing. On another note, isn't there room in the boat to push the box to the back and set the sleeping mat on the floor?
What is that at 12:40, center of the screen, lower 1/3'rd in the middle? It looks like a "steel pot" or a helmet from like the WWII era.. whaaaaaat??? Anyone else see that? GREAT vid, bro!!
I wanted a dive watch but I couldn't afford it outright, but I could get the apple on my phone plan and pay it off slowly. it does all the basic features I needed it for plus I can answer calls on the kayak so its worked out well👍

Just got in from work. Heated up some leftovers from the fridge. Sitting down to watch my favorite camping/fishing youtuber. 🤙
Same here!!
We all deserve a treat after a long day at work
It's a sad thing life, we're grinding out the days watching someone else have fun instead if doing it ourselves. 😢
@@jamiegraham6125 maybe i could quit work and live on one of these islands looks like more than enough to survive

Thanks Rokkit for another awesome episode
This was an amazing watch! I enjoyed every moment of it. Thanks for bringing us along!
I watched to the end but frankly was not expecting that awesome catch. Enjoy that amazing fish.
Good lord. I don't even know what I'm looking at. It's been a few years since I've seen the ocean. All of this looks surreal. Greetings from Alberta, Canada.
Love your videos, Rod. They are honestly the best and the real deal, without the fake pretentious, you know what. Keep up the amazing work
Nice catch Rod that's a lot of groceries for the family, your face says it all. Anyways stay safe out there and have a blessed day. Aloha from Kansas
Crazy ending Rod! What a Spanish. Congrats!!! I tensed up when it approached hoping you would get a shot. Well done. Know the fam enjoyed that.

Looks like a milkfish, definitely fun to catch
Yup agree milkies
Definitely Milkies.
don't they eat seaweed or krill ive seen the flies for them
looked more like mullet to me a bit more flat and they have the longer fins then again im far from an expert
Its a Giant Mackerel, not a milkfish.
The beauty of your location just takes my breath away. Thank you again Rod for bringing us such a magnificent spectacle.
I grew up in Bashaw, now living in Spain... by the Mediterranean.
Come by any time!

Watched this a couple of hours ago, enjoyed it so much, and I’m watching it again 😀
Awesome fish Rod....and yes mega way to finish a great trip. Thanks for taking us all along. You made my Saturday morning mare. From Adelaide. Peace.
Wonderful end to a fantastic trip my friend. You just keep getting better and better 👍👍
What a great spaniard and so well done. You made it look easy the way you brought him back to the boat. Thanks for another awesome video.

@@rogramboThese Australian Spanish Mackerel are a different species from your Spanish and Kings.
At first I thought it was a shark. And it really did look like it was coming right at you. Nice fish Rod. Thank you for another great video!! XOXOX

Thanks for sharing big fella, loving the content and quality of production!!
Mate a bad day on the water is better than a good day at work every time ❤ was fun to watch
Hey Rod, I hope you are having a fun Saturday. I can't wait to watch this after my long drive.
You had me at the crystal turquoise water, the rest was icing 😊. Nicely done my friend.
Wow rod thats so good. You can see the excitement in your face
Been house hunting for a month now and losing my sleep in coffee/breakfast and Rokkit Saturday morning...
Finally got the video F N awesome catch 😊
Awesome video as always! That Spanish didn't look that big underwater, wow!
Hope all is well bro! thanks for always making my day that much better!!
My new fav
That's what my boks party must look like . Week-end on the boat, mates, fishing, diving BBQ...

Cool as a cucumber when that Spanish turned up! What a way to end your trip!
So glad RUclips popped this into my list. Thoroughly enjoying!

Great footage mate 👍🏼
Water is immaculate and you g me up 😁
Glad to see you keeping your cool Rod under circumstances like that, the old four letter words would have been coming out if I had lost that fish😂
Awesome trip, awesome fish💯 much love from the coast of Maine 🤙
Nice big female spanish with lots of roe. Yum! I was keeping an eye out for sharks as you wrestled that one!
Epic fish Rod!!! Impressive thing is you're solo and filming it like a pro great video mat.
I love the vibe of your videos, no other RUclips channel quite like it!
Great video Rod specially catching the Spanish
And the amazing camera work
With the great camera work I bought myself projector big screen
For my cinema room fa tastes to watch.😊
Nice spanno mate, I've been out there and a few reefs over in my 4.3. Pretty similar weather thank God 😂. Love the vids mate 👍
Looks like a Giant Mackerel at the end, also known as king mackerel. Very similar to broad-barred mackerel. Nice catch and video.
Enjoyed your video very.much, hello from Virginia, USA. Thanks, keep making them please
Now that mackerel is a stonker 😊. Nice work Rod 😊😊
I was gonna say those surface feeders could be mackerals, then woila maybe you answered the question at the end with a nice Spanish.
Hey there happy new year. I love your boat small, practical and with all the necessary ítems.
Hey Rod! Great fish! Stunning filming.
Blessings
As a LAND HUNTER . that soanish mackerel hunt was all time.. got my sub and thumb 👍 up .
Another charming video, thanks mate, epic fight for the big fish 👍
The big fish at the end made the video that much more enjoyable!🎣
Yes but it's a kingfish not a Spanish. King mackerel as opposed to a Spanish mackerel.
That was an amazing catch!! Been loving watching these during my long nights of having a newborn. 🥱
Look into foot controls for your troll motor. Worth every penny to be able to keep your hands on the rig and navigate.
preparing to fish the vedder at british columbia today and this is exactly what i needed to hype myself up on a rainy day
Hope it goes well mate 🤙
What kinda fish you get there bro
@@sammccarthy536 chinook, coho, chum, sockeye salmon. Some rainbows and bull trouts as well.
@@imzbee69 yer tru mad bro im bro from new zealand. Im all interested in what other people catchibg round the world.. we slay the fish here bro
Well done🎉 great fish! What a catch 👏
Awesome way to finish the trip mate. What a fish - wow.
I also thought that last one was a shark. What a great way to finish this outing. On another note, isn't there room in the boat to push the box to the back and set the sleeping mat on the floor?
Wow what an ending, I did not expect that!
That water is amazing mate, you are so lucky where you live!🤙
What is that at 12:40, center of the screen, lower 1/3'rd in the middle? It looks like a "steel pot" or a helmet from like the WWII era.. whaaaaaat??? Anyone else see that? GREAT vid, bro!!
Sunken buoy or smooth coral is my guess
Looks way too man made, smooth and uniform.
Definately a coral, there is a smaller one just to the left of it, also see at 13:42 to 13:48 there is another.
those shots were perfect. kudos dude!
Great video, and thise fish on the surface would most likely be milkfish! Try a breadfly on them and hold on to the rod!
Another magic spot mate !!! Under water shots were fantastic 🍣
Must of been a horse of a Giant trevally Rod take care
Yea pity i didn’t get a look at it at least. But when it hit the lure it definitely seemed like a gt👍

@@rokkitkit Your films are getting better with every year that passes when are you going to do another stealth kayak camp mission bro?
Definitely milkfish, awesome run on them and fight hard!
sick bro love to see you having fun and living the dream
Beautiful job, mate !! 🌿🙏🧜♂️
Wow... nice fish! Looks amazing.
Thats was a Awesome shot brother Rod 🫡💯💜
Congrats on that Spanish Rod what a bloody cracker I think the family will be happy when you get home.
Great catch at the end there. Congrats!
Man, that water is mesmerizing!
You should get some rubber sound mats like you mount behind car speakers and stick them to the inside of your hull to dampen the wave sounds.
What would be awesome as a gas grill to cook those filets and some butter and salt and pepper and maybe some rosemary to put with them.
Gotta try some bottom fishing sure you'd catch more, most them around Reefs.
Epic fish at the end! Good meals on the horizon!
Fantastic Fish Mate! Really great show.
love your videos....keep doing what u are doing mate
i was a little sad when i saw that apple watch haha such a good environnement for a good ol diving watch ...
I wanted a dive watch but I couldn't afford it outright, but I could get the apple on my phone plan and pay it off slowly. it does all the basic features I needed it for plus I can answer calls on the kayak so its worked out well👍
Those barramundi cod are so inquisitive and beautiful glad they are protected in Queensland
Ever think of getting Starlink mini to get weather updates and stay connected when out on these trips?
Vídeo topdlinha, amanhã logo cedo parti pra pescar em Auto Mar, aqui em São Miguel dos Milagres AL 🇧🇷👏👏👍
As soon as I learned you weren’t going to cook your fish I checked out ✌️
Great fish and video Rod!
Hell yeah man. Great stuff! Nice 👍
My God, the blue color 💙 is fascinating 💙
