The fishing is amazing as always but can we appreciate the support and excitement from the wife and kids! It’s rare to find someone who is genuinely supportive of your passions and super cool to see 🤙🏻
That’s for sure !!! I understand that most woman will do anything to make you happy while with her or make you feel they way she does. And not support you at what makes you happy without her. So sadly. Family support is most important to me.
couldn't agree more mate, for me to think of her as the first person I want to call and share that moment with is the best feeling ever knowing how excited and supportive shell be for me.
I definitely know what it's like having that strange feeling fishing alone. A feeling so high but also oddly low because you didn't get to share it with someone else. Keep up the good work Matty. You deserve every minute of it!
Yeah cracked my pb bream solo and didn’t have anyway to take a photo biggest one I have ever seen photos included it measured 45cm and all I have to show is my memory
FREAKEN WOW. One over a metre is epic, That is just insane. Congrats mate. some of the the best footage of the takes. The one lobbed on the pylon and hopped off was just so cool. wow wow wow. All the guys at work will be talking about this video around the smoko table tomorrow for sure.
Matt that was incredible. No rough water, no sharks, no wind, just flat out action! I don't know why some have an objection to Live Scope. I feel it's just jealousy. The technology is there to help us find the fish. The rest is up to us. Does that mean we should go back to using canoes with hand lines or just fish from shore to bait a wait? It makes no sense. Even finding them doesn't mean they will bite. Silly. Cherish the day!
@@PelagicPursuit89I feel it’s kinda chesty but if I had a live scope I would be using always and it definitely takes skill to fight these fish and catch them especially on lures and to fool them aswell is a art form
It would be awesome if you could do some screen recording from your livescope to share with us. It seems an essential part of this kind fishing and very exiting to look at. Awesome vid!
unfortunately with live scope being new and people saying its easy id rather not show the screen and show what I do because it'll be giving too much away and id rather people learn for them selves and appreciate its not as easy as people say
@@PelagicPursuit89 from a tech guru, lemme give you a lil advice if i may... share what you know early, people will thus be more willing to share with you and you grow MUCH faster... keeping secrets only keeps bad habits... Cheers and tight lines brother 🤙
One of the best videos I’ve watched. Mate as a boy from the UK now living in WA I can only dream of getting over East for fish like this. A bucket list fish and you catch several 1m+ fish on the same day. Keep the videos coming. I’m loving the channel.
Words don’t do this one justice, Matt… Absolutely incredible and thanks for highlighting your endless hours of prep So good to see your hands still shaking after landing the third 125+ Congratulations - just epic!!! Thanks for sharing with us!
Absolutely incredible video. You did your research, you made a plan, and you executed it. And it payed off greatly. Great job my friend. Cheers from America bro.
I couldn’t believe the sizes of these monsters. In Texas we can get massive gar and channel catfish , but nothing like the awesome strike and fight of these baramundis! Impressive fishing to even land those things, especially alone in the boat, and film at same time!
Mat, I think I was there with you fishing with the adrenaline pumping... what a fish ! It is certainly one of the best styles of fishing and you conquered it👍🏻 congratulations on: a quality catch.
well done mate. both vids r very cool. the best part bout both sessions is u held them over as long as possible to help the locals. thats respect n understanding the situation. most wud have uploaded without even thinking bout wat the outcome cud/wud be. thats wat i like most bout ur content n the way u go bout it Matty. well done on the steady release as well.
Matty what an absolute mental few hours on the water! How good are those Salty Silver Slabs at those incredible lengths, $1.32 and not much change in the others! Cracking to watch mate, I passed over and looked at that area at low tide, hell there’s some crazy rocks to navigate around! You could do that every day for the rest of your life with not another species I’d rather target! EPIC stuff! Go you good thing! 🔥🙌🏽
Ay bud pro tip, got the same kind of net when your solo the trick is once it's in the net push the handle back into the net and pick it up from the middle like a bucket.
Put in the effort.... reap the rewards... on ya Matt. I fish Tinaroo... those big plastics would work on the big fish up here.... what brand are they.... if you don't mind telling ? Keep the good work coming !
Not Clickbait, well done! absolute stonker of a Barra, I watched all the Malcolm Douglas stuff as a kid and cannot remember him ever catching one that big.
SOLID...subscribed from Florida USA, we fish for Speckled Seatrout.... nothing that size. Barramundi remind me of the Panther Fish Grouper that I have had in my aquarium. Solid Predator. Congrats on the EPIC Day for yourself!!!
Awesome first fish. Caught my first Barra under that bridge. 22years ago. Technically has come along way since then. Would love to see a GoPro recording the live scope in the corner during the takes.
Use to live there before the netting change how things have changed.The fish were there but not in the numbers of big fish great vid as usual love your work.
Insane Barra mate....next level fishing....and livescope? Whatever can help us land a dream fish should be used and thats what ur doing 👍, for those who can afford it too. Life is too short, make the most of it and you are doing just that Matt!!👍👌🤟🇨🇵🇦🇺🍻
Day’s fishing like this don’t happen very often and they’re so flippin amazing!!! I fish for Ulua/GT her in Hawaii just for the fight. I love these days!!
Mate, holy shit that was a epic video, just sitting here watching you and knowing those exact feelings that's going on is something else that only true fishos who put time and effort in understand. Amazing video mate, what a bloody rippa 🤙🤙💜👌🇦🇺💪🤜🤛🎣
Unreal sequence of Barra Matt! Well deserved, as said this does not come easy. A lot of dedication and love for the sport to be in the right place in the right time with the right gear. Question: what is this sonar/transducer setup you using? It very neat!
How do they sink? Is it really quick or pretty slow for that size plastic? I’ve never used them till they drop like a stone or are they suspending plastics sort of I know I’m trying to explain do they think Louis stone or do they sink slowly?
Hey Matt what rod & reel are you using on these fish & what braid.your videos are fantastic mate & any opportunity to learn what one of the best in the business uses & does would be much appreciated. Cheers mate
Yes good at fishing but despite not being a typical influencer RUclips character who goes viral because of his ability to make videos which are by the book viral material, you pursue your passion and share that passion and skill and knowledge and instinct with the world. The growth is slower but you are m and adding more pure fishing value than any other channel I have seen. Keep going and keep teaching. We appreciate you!
Could hear the emotion in your voice and fair enough too man. Love to see a big dog like that swim off too. You've cracked it. Keep up the good work, avid follower. Can someone share what his knot is to the lure?
Just got live fitted last week and this makes me so keen to hit the river too. Just moved here aswell. Epic footage mate and there’s always gonna be haters, don’t see them posting vids of countless 130 bazzas either 😂
I'd be pinching myself it's definitely something you won't forget, it's great seeing the old girls swim off such power . What sounder and live are you running

Not everyone gets the family support.

Mate I saw the title and immediately thought clickbait, boy was I wrong. Epic day, epic fish. Legendary!
I definitely know what it's like having that strange feeling fishing alone. A feeling so high but also oddly low because you didn't get to share it with someone else.
Keep up the good work Matty. You deserve every minute of it!
Agreed. I had my pb mangrove jack caught alone and my barra as well
cheers bro

Another sick video!! Any Barra over $1.20 is just nuts but Barra over a $1.30 is just a whole different level 🤯🙌

You a LEGEND mate & I’m a big Fan.Keep up the good work 🤙
Matt… this video was epic. I’m so happy for you. Just a fisherman dream right there.
cheers mate appreciate it.
I never comment on videos.
This could go down as the best RUclips fishing video I have ever seen.
Well done
appreciate the comment mate
Absolutely epic brother. Pumped for you , a day you will never forget.
Catching up these vids - bloody hell, I so wish my dear old dad was still around to see this fishing. Doesn't get much better than that.
130 to start off with. That's epic it looked like it was tagged also. So good

@@badm.d mate none of those places r secret from anyone. wat Matty did was to hold off on the month he was there.
Best post I’ve ever seen Matt, I shared your excitement mate congratulations 👍
Imagine your bag of 6 fish being 7.3 metres long that’s off it head bro. This is skitz appreciate the footage as always!!

Love the vid man ❤ I live locally up there sending it tomorrow to try to slay a few.
The closing scene, with that “Guess what the Fuck I did Today” look on your dial just says it all brother. Love your work, mate.
Ay bud pro tip, got the same kind of net when your solo the trick is once it's in the net push the handle back into the net and pick it up from the middle like a bucket.

imagine if Malcolm had live in the areas he explored haha
What a session, Matt. Just brilliant.
You are so surgical in what you do bro , amazing payoff for incredible dedication, one of a kind 🙏
Fitzroy river never disappoints. Some of the best Barra fishing I’ve ever had there. I’ve hooked some absolute toads there.
SOLID...subscribed from Florida USA, we fish for Speckled Seatrout.... nothing that size. Barramundi remind me of the Panther Fish Grouper that I have had in my aquarium. Solid Predator. Congrats on the EPIC Day for yourself!!!
What’s the closest thing to a barramundi to a salt water fish in Florida? It looks like a mix of a tarpon and a snook.😂
Awesome first fish. Caught my first Barra under that bridge. 22years ago. Technically has come along way since then.
Would love to see a GoPro recording the live scope in the corner during the takes.
What bridge is it
Proof that banning nets from the Fitzroy is working well. Did you send the tag capture in for the first fish ?
I haven't yet mate but ive got it all recorded down
Congratulations from SouthEast Texas on your epic adventure.
mate i have never seen anything like this, a day to never forget, keep up the great vids man 🔥🙌
Awesome 👌 man ,big luv from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺

Absolutely awesomeness from you bruv I really enjoy it
I think I need to reconsider the Barra setup I was looking at purchasing.. That thing is larger then Life!
How do they sink? Is it really quick or pretty slow for that size plastic? I’ve never used them till they drop like a stone or are they suspending plastics sort of I know I’m trying to explain do they think Louis stone or do they sink slowly?
EPIC session best ive ever watched. Keep the monsters coming.
