What is your early call on what fish it could be? I am looking forward to your comments!
This epic battle on my favourite Daiwa rod and reel set I use for big Snapper.
Reel - Daiwa Morethan Branzino
Rod - Daiwa Saltist Coastal 70H
Braid - 20 lbs
Leader - 30 lbs Daiwa J Thread
Bait - Gulp 7" King Shrimp, Pumpkin Seed
One of the toughest Jetskifishing battles I've encountered yet, hope you enjoy my latest the full length video with the uncut fight (excuse all the puffing and grunting, this is what keeps us hooked on these adrenalin fueled fights)
It always amazes me the incredible stability of the Sea-Doo FISH PRO, what a fishing weapon the 2023 Trophy is!
What an awesome fight! You won’t need to go to the gym that day!
Love the sound of string pulling hard out.
Great catch on light gear and on soft bait.. 😎
Cheers, it sure was a good workout 👍
Awesome!!! Thanks for sharing the full clip!!! The braid crackling 4mins in was epic 👌
Testament to your knots, leader, braid, rod and reel 👏
Such a buzz hearing the singing braid 👍 I should have redone the knots after that as the leader frayed and busted my gear on a smaller fish 😩
Awesome fish mate
@@paulhutchoo8488 thanks, the Kingfish are always an epic fight :-)
That thing was a dinosaur. I fully expected it to be a shark. Great to see a good fight between you and the fish. Well done.
Cheers for watching, it sure started off like a Shark and it took a while to get up and go. It’s a new personal best for me on a Softbait, it weighed in at 18.95kg, was a solid fish 👍
Wow epic fight!!! Hearing the line peeling out and it ain't stopping..omgooooosh
Onto a good one
It sure was special, hearing the braid sing is always very cool! Cheers for watching 👍 see you at the trip 😄
Finally the tax man AKA nasty shark let you get one !! Fantastic stuff..
Very nice fish mate. I have been waiting so patiently to see the vid. Bloody awsome scrap on the soft bait rod. Cant wait to get my own next week. See you then.
Thanks for watching, it was a real good battle and was hard for me to be patient 😂 if I had lost it in the first 15 minutes I would have thought it was only a Shark. See you at Doubtless 👍
What an epic battle mate well done! Some serious string pulling going on there 🙂
Thanks, always exciting hearing that screaming braid. I was so happy to be able to share the fight on video 👍
Nice fish and fight.
Thanks Kelvin, hope you have been getting out on your FISH PRO 😎
Using the Fishpro every week at the moment. 😎
wow! That was awesome!! Congratulations!!
Thanks, I was so happy to land it 😎
Epic battle Andrew!
Thanks Dave, I’m still buzzing when hearing that screaming braid on camera 😎
Congrats Andrew, great skills landing that fish on light gear. I hope to catch some Port Phillip Bay kingies on my 22 Trophy one day.
Cheers, have fun on that Trophy! Watch the Sea-Doo RUclips Channel this weekend to see my 15 minute “Inspired by Andrew Hill” documentary 👍
Bringing a knife to a gunfight looks much like this! Nice work!
Cheers, such a battle definitely keeps it sporting knowing the fish and angler have equal chance beating the other!
We’re gonna need a bigger boat 😂
PS. Great job 👍
Congratulations Andrew for catching massive kingfish from Melbourne Victoria.Andrew i saw at rear cooler you have put orange reel bags what the product brand is? It's a great idea to protect reels from salt water.Once again well done Cheers
Cheers Anthony, was a very memorable catch on the lighter gear. The Ultimate Reel Covers are available on my website jetskifishing.co.nz/products/fish-pro-reel-cover-for-salt-water-protection?variant=39682444886097
@@jetskifishing thanks👍
Nice fish Andrew I envy you
Cheers Terry, I think that’s the best I’ll ever catch on a Softbait, the body felt it the following day 😂 see you next week👍
Great fish mate. Where do you get your reel covers from???
Thank you, the Ultimate Reel Covers are available at jetskifishing.co.nz/products/fish-pro-reel-cover-for-salt-water-protection
Nice amberjack !!
Similar to an Amberjack, we are based in New Zealand and they are known as Yellowtail Kingfish.
Hi. Keen to find out, do use the rod holder on the cooler box when fishing with the electric reel? Is it strong enough?
For my electric reel fishing it’s very heavy gear. I use it on my stainless rod holder, it’s made tough and better suited for the load. They are currently out of stock but I will have more available in 10 days jetskifishing.co.nz/products/ultimate-seadoo-heavyduty-rodholder-rack
@@jetskifishing thanks I thought it was something more sturdy...
Hey Andrew. Where do you strap your catchbag for the ride home?
Hi, if I tie the Catch Bag down, I use either of the cleats on the side of the bow and strap it to the rear seat grab handle…
Hi Andrea the new explorer comes with the windscreen if that windscreen was available to buy do you think it would be good on the fish Pro. Cheers James
The windscreen could be very useful in wetter conditions, I too will be interested in it once it’s available👍
Andrew great content what are the orange reel protective bags made of & where to purchase them, my trophy is coming soon? Did you install a bilge pump w a float switch? What was the 7" soft bait?
The Orange reel bags are my “Ultimate Reel Covers” they are available on my website in various colours. They help protect reels from salt water spray that damages reels and the covers easily secure the rods so they don’t fall out of the rod holder. The bait is a Gulp 7” King Shrimp. My Trophy has the standard bilge system, it’s sufficient for my adventures👍
Its a big donkey 😄nice you are a good fisherman 👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👋👋
I'd like an electric model
Great fight super fish,raw with some soy sauce. Magic
Thanks, there was many happy families enjoying some Sashimi 😄
I just bought a 2023 gp1800r svho but now I kinda want to sell it and get one of these 🤦♂️
The Sea-Doo FISH PRO Trophy ticks all the boxes, very cool how it has everything ready to go for fishing!
I recently managed my first kingi on my fishpro, 76cm and then a 10.5kg kingi on the next drop, how heaving did this fish go?
The Kingfish sure are exciting, this one went 18.95kg, 1145mm length 👍
Hi Andrew, I’m just getting into JetSki fishing, can you tell me what sort of rod/reel is used on your vid and what would you recommend please cheers Stu
Hi Stu, the particular rod and reel spec is listed in the video description, it’s a Morethan Branzino. The reel is very high end, you can get similar sized Daiwa reels that will meet your expectations for softbaiting, look at the Saltist series.
Thanks Andrew much appreciated
Hi , I'm confused, tittle of the video said 2023 fish pro trophy? 2022 or 2023?
Do you need a bigger JetSki Andrew
Too funny Frank 😂 cheers for watching 👍
@@jetskifishing
You looked very exhausted after that catch I really thought you had a stingray or a shark on the end of that line
@@CapeFrank57 that was I thought to, it didn’t really start off like my typical Kingfish runs, I am thankful I got to see the catch 😄
@@jetskifishing Yes thank God you did I would’ve been terrible if the lion snapped after that long fighting i’m not seeing what you were actually fighting happened to me a few times
Congratulations on the couch you worked hard for it I hope the family enjoyed eating it
Cheers
