That's raw emotion right there. No more 'cod king'. What a journey. A 122 salty in your raw, untouched local wilderness creek is worth so much more than an introduced dam fish, or catching a 130 under a road bridge with trucks roaring past in Rockhampton. Well done on your perseverance after the sharks, the lost fish and the other mishaps. You will treasure that forever.
Loved it. Been watching the whole way through. I totally understand your emotional response. That last scene with the birds and you just contemplating what you’re just achieved was priceless.
Mate, what a journey! Absolutely loved the chasing giants episodes and obviously only seeing a tiny amount of your time on the water. The hours you put into getting that beast I could only imagine. When you landed that fish I was honestly jumping off the couch with excitement. So happy for you Bowly and thanks for taking us on the ride 🤙
Bowly, simply amazing. I did the double fist pump with you and have loved the journey….love the way you set the goal. Set the challenge…then put in time and perseverance and conquered. Massive congratulations. Cheers Twig
so cool u didnt give up on the 120 n also chasing giants series. even better u stayed true to the og plan to chase down this 120 mark. gud on u Bowlys.
I honestly love how raw that bit of footage is, everyone sees the glory shots and everything fancy, so much more goes into achieving the goals we set, unreal work legend legit happy for you 🙌
Well done Bowly - excellent fish and a great way to wrap up the Giants series - a tribute to you perseverance and angling ability. I really enjoyed that video - thanks for sharing!
Epic video, loved every second of it, the suspense was killer the whole way. Congrats on an amazing achievement, or 3 achievements should I say based on the final shot. Your content has come ssssooo far bowly, one of, if not my favorite RUclips channels
Congrats bowls an epic series mate and glad the goals are getting ticked off for ya… just think if you had of got the 120 first trip there would have been no epic series. How you presented this whole series feels like it should be able to be nominated for some sort of award. Was truly amazing and thank you for all the effort into it mate!
Let's go Bowly, we are so happy for you. The dedication work and long hours on the water you've put into that legendary animal would have been insane. And I can only imagine how fulfilling it would have been to achieve a life goal doing what you love 😁👍
Awesome work Bowly! So happy for you! Definitely a fish of a lifetime! You should be very proud of yourself and your dedication and hard work to get that done! Loved the series and your videos in general. Keep up the good work!
Congratulations and well done you help everyone in their journey to believe in setting a goal and to never give up I take my hat off to you keep up the awesome and amazing content. My first time commenting on RUclips you are a inspiration mate to all
Well done Bowly, youve done it! Im from SA so dont know much about Barramundi fishing but from all vids ive watched I would say catching 122 in local river is much better catch than for example a 135 in the Fitzroy. You stuck to your goal and got it done. And not many people have that passion you have, thats most important I think. You sed you dont know what yo do now😂 just keep on going mate👌
Man, that was fantastic to watch. I enjoyed the whole series. What a great idea, to run a series like that and to involve us in your emotional connection with fishing and your personal goals. That series was one of the best things i have watched on YOU TUBE it was great how you did it and i couldn't wait for the next chapter to come along. You caught some EPIC fish. Barramundi are like for a lot of people i know, at the top of my catch list. I love all forms of fishing but there is something so special about catching a Barra. Whether 50 cm or 130 cm i don't mind at all they are just special. Well done. Regards Dave.
Congratulations Bowly, I’ve been watching u for a long time now and to see u finally get that big girl after all the hard work you’ve put into not only that series but your entire RUclips career makes it all worth while. Just keep doing you bro, your content is raw and honest and thats what I love about u. Write the next milestone up on the whiteboard mate and keep aiming for the stars, I’ll be here waiting in anticipation, once again well done you bloody legend. 👍💪👍
Congrats mate, I get how your feeling when I cracked a bucket list 120 Murray cod, it’s bitter sweet because the grind and the searching comes to an abrupt stop and it sort of tarnished it a bit. for me at least, I realised it was the challenge of it more so than the unicorn but now it’s about 130 that keeps the dream alive.
Congrats on the fish of a lifetime man! Surely now a 130 is on the cards next? Hahah. Nah but deadset man hope you keep doing vids chasing bigger Barra,shows the highs and lows we face with chasing the Bigger fish and it makes for great viewing!
Feel you man still yet to catch the one I’m after but I know exactly what you mean I’ve got years invested into it and the moment when it comes will be a day I’ll never forget
Well done mate, I watch, I'm not a massive fan, but FUCK YEAH, you did it congratulations! Can't wait for the 130, I believe in you! BTW 2 years to get a barra in my boat, 63cm last week! 😂
It almost looks like some boats follow you around. You arrive at spots and then other boats start pulling up. I could have missed seeing them though in the footage 🤷🏾♂️
That does happen sometimes. I had people pull up and start casting at the school of fish I was fishing on the first day, then after they didn’t catch anything for 15 mins casting they packed up and trolled straight through 😂
Fantastic video series and an awesome fish - congratulations!!! It’s been great to see you “hunting” these fish on the Live Target. I’m really impressed with your system set up. Can you help me out with the details (brand etc) of the transducer mounting and pole system you are using? I want duplicate it on my boat. Many thanks and keep the outstanding content coming. All the best.
Thanks mate. I run the Lowrance HDS PRO 16 w/ Active Target 2, pole and stand are from Gfab engineering. If you get in contact with him, just say you’re looking at the same setup as Bowly and he’ll let you know. 👌🏻
After using it for the past year and with all the other fishing I do and I do a LOT of different fishing, in my opinion, doing what I’m doing in this video using the live as a tool is the most skilful fishing I can do here.
That's raw emotion right there. No more 'cod king'. What a journey. A 122 salty in your raw, untouched local wilderness creek is worth so much more than an introduced dam fish, or catching a 130 under a road bridge with trucks roaring past in Rockhampton.

Always luv the content and you
Thanks Trudester 🙏
Loved it. Been watching the whole way through. I totally understand your emotional response. That last scene with the birds and you just contemplating what you’re just achieved was priceless.
Thanks Paul, glad you enjoyed!
That was an epic series and what a way to finish it. I'm so glad you didn't edit out that raw emotion, fish of a lifetime. So stoked for you!!
Thanks Pete!
Well done Bowly. That fish would've been more than 13 years old. Stoked for you that it happened for you. That's a fish dreams are made of
Mate, what a journey! Absolutely loved the chasing giants episodes and obviously only seeing a tiny amount of your time on the water. The hours you put into getting that beast I could only imagine. When you landed that fish I was honestly jumping off the couch with excitement. So happy for you Bowly and thanks for taking us on the ride 🤙

@@jarrodg8790 Thanks mate.

@@bowlysfishing Thanks Bowly. Really appreciate the info.
what going to be the new goal bowly
🤷🏻♂️
Time for 125cm barra
Don't slow move fast or upgrade your fishing gear
next one chasing giants bill fish edition
Great fishing shame the bloody sharks are having ago
Time for $1.30
Speed up retrieval when a fish chases, DONT slow your reel speed.
Anyone else not like the idea of the live scope, seems to take all the skill out of it
After using it for the past year and with all the other fishing I do and I do a LOT of different fishing, in my opinion, doing what I’m doing in this video using the live as a tool is the most skilful fishing I can do here.
