Mate this whole series has been pure class... From the respect shown to the local guys who fish that system every day/week by not blasting the 'location' from a megaphone and immediately uploading the footage, to the way that you interact with the locals on the system, to the respect shown to those amazing brood stock Barra - and of course the insane skill level shown in targeting and landing those big behemoths. Much respect. Tight lines mate
congratulations from Southwest Florida USA. two really good fisherman with a piece of sonar that is a game changer. I had to watch it twice it was so good. channel just keeps getting better.
This is one of the best sport fishing video's on youtube. It captures the essense of sport fishing leading up to a monumental catch. The experience, the prep, the spot, the gear, and the skill required to land it once it is hooked. Everything coming together and the sheer enjoyment of a once in a life time experience shared with your favorite buddy. Thanks for sharing Mat!
Absolutely off-tap!! Magnificent video showcasing the highs and lows of the best fishing there is. Congratulations Matt - it’s why you’re the best creator in the business. Unbelievable!!!!
Maaaaaaaaateeeee! The felllaaaaaaas! Fish of a lifetime!! You called it when you bought the Tinny! New adventures, new ground, crazy fishing. Absolutely love the content over here in the UK!
Net Free Zones and Boys like your selves that show great respect for those beauty's keeps the dreams alive of one day Me catching one in the Fitzroy. Cheers Fellas
there is not many fishing videos on youtube that get my heart pumping like that. ABSOLUTE perfect perspective of the hunt, the heartache and the end result. fkn unreal boys
the net free zones up n down the coast took to long to achieve but the outcomes r proof of the success. not only beneficial to the barra n threadies but to the economy to the towns. we need more net free zones further up n further down the coast as well. nicely done lads.
Matty need a close up of what your looking at on the screen I don’t understand how you are finding a fish and following it round for 20 mins sounds wild! Soo good!
What you are seeing is I think is livescope sonar the aluminated image and shapes you see on the screen are the fish in front of the boat black handle is attached to the transducer and they can pivot and move it to scan out front in there casting area
Wow lads, great vid those lows then the highs and the expressions on your faces shows the world how much fun and how hard they go. The bites from the big girls are awesome ha. Definitely the best Barra fishery in Australia by far. 🎣🍺
@PelagicPursuit89 looks like I'm about to lay down a couple of bands to match my Stella 4000, 8000, 14000, calcutta 401, curado dc x2 and ocea jiggers 💯
Hey Matt, could you please give a quick rundown of what colour sunglass lenses you use for different environments/ situations. For example like when on the flats or offshore. Cheers mate, good vid once again🎣
Back in the 90s I had a permit to catch these fish at the wall. I would tag them and manually move them up into the fresh. The fish ladder didn’t work so had to be done one at a time. Looks like it paid off lol
Best thing they ever done was getting the nets out of the rivers. Awesome video guys. I thought iv caught some big girls over the years but iv got nothin. lol
Can you tell me what bait casting reel you’re using? Looks like an Abu Garcia but I’m not sure. It looks like it takes a lot of abuse from the fish you’re catching. I’m looking for a reel to use when casting to large striped bass here in saltwater in the United States.
For your next trip there boys it would awesome to see you guys knock up some XO flies and bring out the long wands reckon it would be epic if conditions were right 👌
Cheers mate. I recently bought the extra large Wilson from Anaconda but find it very awkward. I’m often fishing solo for m+ kingfish (upto 140cm). Might take a look at the Berkley option - cheers
Matt, tell us about the body of water you are on. Is it shallow or deep? Is it a titdal lake or like a bayou or river? Why is the water the color it is? Etc,, etc, etc,.
Absolutely 💯 love all the content and everything that goes with getting them into the boat. Sorry for Gilly losing the fish. But that’s okay. We call that a easy release. Just because it wasn’t landed on the boat. It took all the skill and presentations of getting to that point. So if I’m not keeping them , I don’t mind a easy release. I don’t need to weigh and measure. Fishing is a expensive habit. But the Tug is the drug. That’s my choice and my saying. Not enough money for other habits.

Massive testament to the Nomad designs gear 💯

Congrats boys
Best ever video from you

Hi Matt liking the jumper you’re wearing. Looked in the shop and you only have 3xl left any chance more sizes coming into stock?. Nice Barras as well.

Welcome to the Fitzroy! Wow!!!
Did you measure the fish at 29:30? How big did she go? Amazing fishing.
nice video fellas, just wondering if most of these barra are caught within a period or a bitetime or wether its throughout the day, cheers
WOW..... Just Wow!!! That's what dreams are made of!!! Did you get an official measurement of the big one, bro??
132 mate
@@PelagicPursuit89 Wow, Bro, that's got to be your PB now! I want to book a trip with you one day!

Sick sesh!,,,.Its a big river that one must be much much more to unlock there...must be a LOT of big barra in there.
there is a lot but it is a massive river system. it'll only get better being a net free zone as well

Great ep Matty, love the content! Dead keen to know the make of your net mate - I’m trying to find the unicorn and yre one looks pretty good.
I use a Wilson and Berkeley net. The Berkeley net is for the big ones. Got it at anaconda
Cheers mate. I recently bought the extra large Wilson from Anaconda but find it very awkward. I’m often fishing solo for m+ kingfish (upto 140cm).
Might take a look at the Berkley option - cheers
getting it done boys!! Nice work :-)
Been waiting a minute matty 🤘
Luar biasa spotNya istimawa... 👍👍👍
Saya menyebutnya ikan ghoib alias barramundi karena ditempat saya sangat sulit mendapatkannya...
Salam dari 🇲🇨
Holy crap, mammoth Barra. How good.
Unreal !! So sick !!!
I already know it was worth the wait
What was the length of the big dog??
132 mate
AMAZING! fish of a life time!
Nice n surprised to see there's not a big presents of bull sharks in the system touchwood
Great video! Are you sure that is not the Nile river? That fish was a beast
when I jumped I was pretty confused for a second haha
Matt, tell us about the body of water you are on. Is it shallow or deep? Is it a titdal lake or like a bayou or river? Why is the water the color it is? Etc,, etc, etc,.
The level of stress yall put on my heart watching this video was ridiculous I just want yall to know that. Lol
I’m glad we were all on the same page then haha
Fished the Barra Bash last year and all i got was a 50's. Looks like you had a better time than me. Haha

Epic. Well done!
Sick episode!
Duuuuude! Unreal!
Outstanding clip matty, beat bowly to the 130 mark. Are those 10" irukanji placs?

Hes in rockhampton i think
Definitely Rockhampton
@@Chazza-Green yeah he’s in the Fitzroy
Absolutely mental fellas!!
Sick video 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Epic!!
What pound leader you running for the big dogs
I was running 120 panderra. Never chased fish that big before so I went heavier just incase
Certain moments when you guys lost the fish.. u look like u going to cry…🤣🤣🤣
I was crying inside haha
Are you running a playstation or xbox on the front there?
Did you guys measure that first monster you caught? Just epic….
Yeah mate it was 132
@@PelagicPursuit89 I saw on your insta. That’s just wild! Epic video as always!
real nice fish man
So good
Is that in brissy
How big a barramundi can grow? 30kg?
Hey there I think one of the biggest barras caught either at monduran or awoonga dams went over 80 lbs a few years ago
Well there ya go Matt. Easy release also. Lol
Hands free releasing. Lol
is there a reason the water is so brown
Epic guys!!
Fitzroy?
Yep that's the Rocky CBD
That's some nice fish
Hey guys, its too far for us to drive up with the boat. Do u guys offer charters? Father and son team here. Cheers 💥
There are a couple of charter operators in this river system. Google Fitzroy river fishing charters
Mate Rocky local here. Hooked fishing does great charters on the reef and in the fitzroy river
@@stuartames1508 thanks legend
Absolutely 💯 love all the content and everything that goes with getting them into the boat.

I don’t need to weigh and measure.
Fishing is a expensive habit.
But the Tug is the drug.
That’s my choice and my saying.
Not enough money for other habits. Like drinking , smoking , and no internet of any other drugs besides the Tug. Lol
Wish the rest of the world would see it the same way. No Money for Drugs that’s not prescribed.
Naturally fishing is a good remedy for drug users. It can solve so many problems. Even take all your money so none left for drugs.
But the Tugs will prove that for sure. HAHAHAHAHAHA
♥️🎣🌊-🎣🏔✌🏼
DAMN
Mantap🤘
I wonder if Bowly is still talking to you.......🤣
Yeah he knows his is coming
Good size barramundi
