Well done! Came across your video and was curious about the "straylining" title as I have not heard of that name here in the USA. Well presented instructional video, and wow what a snapper. You have my respect letting her go. We call that CPR here - Catch, Photo, Release.
Brilliant. If you're recreationally fishing to catch over here in New Zealand, it's customary for most to let the first fish go to Tangaroa (the God of the Sea and progenitor of Fish; since maori creation traditions). Then go for sizable catches, not too small or too large for most fish to help keep local fisheries sustainable. It's well worth a trip here just to catch fish and collect shellfish, our seafood is some of the best in the world!
The man bro always have been! grew up watching you now 33 and still love watching you, put kiwi's on the map keep up the great work bro!!!! Western Aus
What a SNAPPER !!!!!! Could not believe that, you just showed us how to rig, cast out, and BAM !!!!! Well Done (as you guys say) BRO !!!! Cheers "Down Under Mike"
Tying the bottom hook on first, then tying the snell, allows super accurate spacing. And if you want to significantly increase the strength of a Uni knot - pass the line through the eye of the hook twice before tying the knot and dont forget the spit before tightening
Cheers! One of the best Snapper fights ever filmed! Can't believe that I'm seeing this now for the FIRST time. Props to you -I could feel that buzz right with you. Nothing like that feeling of bringing a monster fish to the boat on less than desired size tackle. @0 Lb mono baby. Nicely done mate!
That was awesome Matt, awesome!!! Got me pumped just watching that I’m going to sleep now and dream of catching big stonka’s like that good manners too you said please🤣🤣🤣it always pays to have good manners.
Hello Sir! I have been looking for a very Instructional Step by step rigging for fish,, Then I Came across your video and was curious about the "stray lining" title as I have not heard of that name here in Florida USA. and I can say you are a very well instructor in the subject and Well presented instructional video!! I would like to thank you for your time and for the well inform class and please make more videos about fishing and the equipment too, so please have a good day and take care,, Sincerely Max.
You deserve to fight the big fish and always awesome to see them go back. Great sustainability only take what you need and have fun fighting the beast.
Add a small bead above the lumo tube abd jam a toothpick in it and snap it off either side. This bead can be jammed down to stop the lumo tube sliding up keeping your bait positioned how you want it for longer
Looks great. Re the snell, I find it a bit easier to tie the end hook first then the other hook as it helps to get the required distance correct. Of course that means the leader must be tied to a swivel or afterwards to the braid or mono main line afterwards as the long end needs to be free to pull through.
Hey Matt. HI from Christchurch. I think you should do some more teaching sessions! You seem to catch big fish when doing them. Remember the jigging session with a big Kingie or the PR knot and instant Trevally? I certainly appreciate your teaching sessions very much. I rewatch and rewatch them! Thanks for the great content!
Love watching theses to pick up tips. Any chance of taking someone out there MATT?? I have underlaying health issues and miss my fishing as I haven't been out for over 6 months due to cancer treatments. I miss my fishing
We use a rod around 7ft, and mono between 20-30lb. Heres a spin set review www.ultimatefishing.tv/home/video/484/baitrunner-8000-oc-combo-review and here is an overhead review www.ultimatefishing.tv/home/video/465/snapper-combo-review. Hope that helps.
What a fantastic video. Informative and entertaining. How many wraps do you use on your uni knots? How’d you hurt your finger? I’ve given myself many a cut rushing to get a bait in the water haha
It depends on the current, but you want to use as little weight as possible so that the bait looks natural. Using minimal weight also means that the bait will spend more time in the 'strike zone' .
BeRad I have watched this episode so many times. Matt your enthusiasm is infectious. Keep up the good work. Have you anything in the pipeline in the way of new shows to be aired on Australian TV in 2018/2019
Matt is a dead set legend. His bait rigging tips helped me land my PB land based pink Snapper @ 72cm 2019 WA metro. Yea he went back swimming too.
This is 'The Best' video for snapper setup in action with basics of setting up the rig to final catch with the same setup... Thanks man
One of the best videos I have watched for a long time, awesome!
awesome
Thanks for showing the whole fight with that horse.

this is my favorite video by you matt by far so onto it hissing bro ha ha Ive literally watched this video atleast ten times.
You deserve to fight the big fish and always awesome to see them go back. Great sustainability only take what you need and have fun fighting the beast.
How come your not using braid?
What the sufix 21 like?
Thanks
Awsome straylining beast catch bro
Jeez I'd hate to fish with you, you know lots but you're bossy as, just let them pull the fish up man.

Agreed. Great video though :)
i leave the top hook free and just tie the bottom one so you can chop and change between the size of baits you use
nice video pro
ilove you channel
Freakin mean! I’ve been in the US the last 8 years and straylining for snapper is one of the things I really miss.
Very clear and informative. Thank you.

Catch and release should be banned , wankers fishing , leave the fish alone if your not going to eat them
Is that Troy Kingi dropping that 20lb snapper?
You make awesome videos
Absolutely outstanding
Having a bait lesson leading to catching a whopper snapper,
Can’t plan that,,

We use a rod around 7ft, and mono between 20-30lb. Heres a spin set review www.ultimatefishing.tv/home/video/484/baitrunner-8000-oc-combo-review and here is an overhead review www.ultimatefishing.tv/home/video/465/snapper-combo-review. Hope that helps.

What a fantastic video. Informative and entertaining.
How many wraps do you use on your uni knots? How’d you hurt your finger? I’ve given myself many a cut rushing to get a bait in the water haha
respect
Check out fluorocarbon vs mono for leader. Mono is better for abrasion resistance and knot strength.
Fluorocarbon is a gimmick
why does such a great channel not have many subs?
If I was you I would yous squid
Ok
awesome
no need for sinker?

Do ya uni knot first then the snell easier to set the hook distance when tying
FLYFISHO I love it when people give Matt Watson advice.
