So GREAT to be able to relive these memories through your video!! Once again, my family and I had the BEST time with you and Jocelyn, in a place that I've always dreamt of visiting. So many wonderful memories, food, and endless laughs. Until next time!!
would love to know more about the fish prints you made. like how the process is. what ink to use. what paper to use. its a butifull art. and would love to be able to do it to the few salmon im able to catch.
I;m not a fisherman nor have I ever fished in my life, but I love watching taku catch fish and preparing a delicious meal, and explains how its done. great video.
Dwight's work is so amazingly beautiful! That kingy looks incredible! My son is living in Korea and got offshore for Yellowtail a couple months ago and got 2 15-20lb fish. Said he lost a much bigger one, but never trust a fisherman's tale. 😂
Great to see you back in NZ and congratulations on the Kingy. Your perseverance really paid off. The meal looked stunning. You’re fishing in an area we call home also which is always neat to see. Thanks heaps. Thomas
I love your clips man, not only for how exciting your fishing is but the food preparation after as well. I definitely need to step up my game. Chur chur mate
Awesome to see you guys back in NZ hopefully the weather plays nice this time. This blue fish swimming around are called blue maumau. Also you’ve beaten me to a land based kingi 😂
Dude you GOT IT! Even if it wasn't a monster Kingy after last time I was like.. Taku will be back before you know it and finally get one lol. Nothing like an amazing meal with friends and Family. Great video cheers.
Finally got your kingie off the rocks! Well done Taku! So stoked you have decided to come back to our country. Are you heading back to Tairua at all? We have a family holiday house there and we are staying for 7 days from the 20th Dec. It would be crazy to see you guys in person! Anyway, enjoy having a summer Christmas here :)
Dude you are crushing it!! love your content, one of the few channels I still watch consistently. thanks for creating rad content and getting me to get out and fish more! Id love to see you do a fishing basics video for new people to fishing, with the knots and basics you use!
I love how you traveled New Zealand i think it’s the best way to see the country and the people you meet and become friends. I like to see everyone travel and see different cultures and the people you meet keep on traveling and open your mind but always respect the laws of the land great video and great food
HI Taku - great video. I am in the UK at the moment, but heading to New Zealand in March with my boy to do as much fishing as possible. Where was this spot, as it looks safe enough to take my lad to do a bit of kingi fishing. Keep up the great work, and I look forward to your next vids. Many thanks!
What a joy it is for us to tag along on your adventures.. Your culinary skills are awesome! I have never seen better knife skills. And the quality of your dishes, in both taste and presentation, is superb. When you can prepare dishes of this quality and presentation in the wild, you've really got it going on. Keep the hits coming!
Man if there ever been a true master chief you are him every dish you made was masterful I'm from down on the bayou of South Louisiana and that dish you made reminds me of the famous courtbullion we make down here tks for that great video
Kia ora Taku and Jocelyn. Tena kato katoa that means welcome, back to the land of the long white cloud. Great to see you both back here. Congratulations on catching the kingi off the rocks, powerful fish. The biggest lve caught was 42kgs and what a fight that was. Also great to see you all catching some good snapper. I'm really glad to see your releasing what you can't eat. Every one had so much fun. The technique of printing of the fish is beautiful. Oh and buy the way, the kai looked delicious. Kim chi is such a flavoursome and healthy food to eat. Awesome content.
Yes I was absolutely stuffed after that. Like when you were when you caught that big snapper ,i to was so satisfied I didn't need to fish anymore that day. So I had a beer and supported my mates for the rest of the day.
hey taku, so here in texas, primarily the snapper, we have whats called pinfish, they are the vultures of the gulf, they will bite whatever you throw down before any of the snappers do. if you can get your hands on small live bait, maybe like 4-5 inches, and toss it down there, you may get more snappers like Dwight caught in the video. chumming helps get whatever small bait stealers you got there away from your main bait. i think my favorite video from this year from you was the GT's. it was intense ! hope you go out there and finally get one again.
Congrats mate. Personally off the rocks, fishing for kings, I prefer a high tide clashing with daybreak...cant beat it..stick bait, live bait, it all works.
The blue fish that was eating the chum is called a Blue Maomao, they're excellent eating fish if you eat them whole. Flour the whole fish and fry off in butter :) oh and they also don't get much bigger than the one dwight caught, his fish was a good size! Try them out next time you catch them :)
hey taku huge fan but id really like to see you do the dispatch before the celebrations for the sake of the fish and the meat . great catches eitherway!
Oh bro...stoked to see you back in aotearoa !!! Yay...very excited to see where you end up and what you find..holla if you're in the south !!!! Would love to show you some of our spot and local food!!!
I know you won’t see this, but I love watching your videos! i wanna go around the world someday and try making different dishes like what you make sometime!
taku what a epic video figure 8'ed that king ding a linger how exciting and i was jacked to see u so pumped up i love that side of you bro ! keep up amazing work looks like a beautiful special place new Zaland
Nice work! I’ll never forget when I was a teen I framed artwork at a gallery that was owned by my Korean boss. His wife would send him to work everyday a roll and some kimchi. Some potent stuff. Delicious though
Hey Taku! Please author and publish a pacific fusion recipe/method/cookbook featuring loads of kings and snapper dishes - we all know it would be super choice! ❤
Killer hit on the figure 8 ! Mint Keeper kinggie bra ! I caught a epic musky doing that in the river by me in upstate NY . You should visit here in the spring for the striper run/spawn !!
The blue fish are Maomao they are actually very good eating that size fried whole and eaten off the bone. That's the perfect Keeper Kingi I don't like to kill the big ones, 75cm to 1m though are fair game IMO . The Kimchi looks amazing welcome back to NZ
So GREAT to be able to relive these memories through your video!! Once again, my family and I had the BEST time with you and Jocelyn, in a place that I've always dreamt of visiting. So many wonderful memories, food, and endless laughs. Until next time!!
Halfway thru the vid, was thinking is that the guy that inks the fish and turns out, that is you. Cool you’re in NZ

Would love to see you make a fish soup from some carcass/ frame and head
Taku, the kimchi, kimchi stew and bok choy were a nice addition to the meal.👍
The Blue Maomao is one of the best eating fish in NZ. Would rate it above Snapper by a long way. Fishing my back yard playground here.
Really?! Gotta try it next time
Thinking the same as well, it's great raw, Polynesian style, but it has to be next level shushimi style...😂
Has a high fat content and good yield for size also. Great fun to catch and can be easy once they turn up@@OutdoorChefLife
Congratulations on the nice catch Taku!
Package 4 you
Figure 8 really works. I used to do it heaps with frozen gars and my mate and i landed 3 legal kings one time.
