@@ThePracticalBeekeeperMelbourne Hey Mate, I was wearing a lifejacket the whole time. It’s the thing around my waist and the little yellow rectangle is PLB. If you check out the video I did last week I went through all the safety gear I use on solo trips. It’s at the end of the video 👍
Amazing video Sammy. Wow 2 Marline, grouper and snapper. Thank you so much for having us feel that we are out there with you. I enjoyed the video fully. Greetings from USA 🇺🇸
Love it! Also love seeing your Sea Hunt catching marlin. They are built about 10 minutes from my house. Crazy to think one of them made it to fish with you down under! Best of luck and tight lines!
Well done champion good to see you ticking off the list can tell you were having a solid deep drop session out there couldn’t help but notice the old fly down half way through the deep drop but happens to the best of us 🍻
Epic adventure again! You're mastering these marlin solo trips mate! And the fact that you can do some great deep fishing in the spare time, so so jealous
Your channel is so cool man. I wish I could get down there and fish those waters again. Went there one time as a kid but only used a hand reel on a trashy tourist fishing operation. The reel was ripped from my tiny hands by the first decent fish i hooked. Did my first scuba dive too off the great barrier reef and saw thousands of hammerhead sharks swimming in a school they must have been migrating or something. It was majestic. One of the coolest things I've ever seen.
Yea ha, what an amazing achievement Sam. Well done to get the second Marlin back swimming again, just goes to show the true fishing Legend you are.🍻🍺🍻 Keza
You popped up as one the recommended vids while watching Rokkit Kit a few weeks ago and I'm glad i watched it, now I cant wait for you to upload. Keep on making great videos!
@@SammyHitzkeFishing BTW I'm not sure how I feel about my wife giving compliments to another man...but she is a dermatologist and everytime she walks past the TV at 4:05pm on Sunday she highly rates you for your sun protection. Great example to other fishos mate. Well done as we all know melanoma kills. Might see you out there tomorrow. Tight lines 🤘🏻
@@tfds2574 hahah appreciate it mate. Looking cool isn’t so fashionable when your getting skin cancers cut out! IMO covering up is a way better option 🍻🍻
Glad to see you you get your blue mate and don’t feel bad about the filming it is part of the charm of your show it makes it feel like we are part of it👍
Appreciate it mate! I know, but I like things to be perfect and give people the best experience possible! Anyway, these things happen, live and learn 💪🍻🍻
Hey Sammy a solo Blue is pretty damn epic! Congrats brotha that is a damn feat for those that dont know. Hell its hard enough when you have experienced mates aboard! Good job mate! EPIC😎👍👍
Great effort Sammy, congratulations!!!! Please can you show on your sounder and water temps and currents why you went to the area that you did to catch your fish?
Look Sammy, mate. Your camera and audio skills are like getting stung by a happy moment.. for a small fee of a few beers I’m happy to come look after that area for you 😂 done well on the fish none the less 🍻
I think risking your drone on those early shots picked cinematic points back for you....cool to see the lure bubble trails from the air, ticked the box even if it was timelapse...hey, it saved editing time
Hi ya ,that fish was def a Stripey ,for future reference check out the area under the lower jaw that goes back to the gills ,With blues that area is way shorter than Stripey's and Blacks ,it also is a gun metal color . Great catching!!!
Way to go man, persistence paid off in spades. So after you improve on the sound and video that wasn't even that bad what is your next challenge? Keep up the awesome work legend
WOOOOOOO congrats on the redemption, was gonna say on the last video, sometimes those snafus are what light the fire inside us the most to get back out there n get er done
Awesome too see Sammy I’ve been watching for a while just wondering atm where would you go prawning ? Are the still at nudgee or are they further down the bay, this will be my first attempt and unfortunately I only have a half cabin so it’ll be a little more of a challenge but that’s what makes it fun……..keep up the good work your a legend
Bloody Awesome Mate! Great effort! You got to accept that if the camera was ready & not on "time lapse" then you would not have got a bite...the "fishing gods" work that way, blocking tech etc...Respect for the way you recovered the 2nd marlin (striped). Cheers...
How cool would it be if your head cam actually worked🤣. I freaking hate gopro cameras for that stuff. Fantastic vid and accomplishment to do that solo!
in another video you used a three hook rig with all three hooks going in one bait i was wondering how you set up the rig. I plan on using it on a smaller scale in fresh water for a particularly picky fish.
G’day Legends!! Hope you enjoy this one 💪💪
Don’t forget all of the SHF is available from www.sammyhitzkefishing.com 🍻🍻🍻
Love the shows Sammy, just wondering why you don't wear a lifejacket, solo and so far from shore? Safety first brother!

Anyone else notice Sammy’s inner Steve Irwin come out when he realised he’s got to do what he can to get that Marlin healthy again? Well done Legend!
100% mate. Love that.
Agree, can’t understand why he doesn’t have more subs.. such a great channel.
Appreciate it legends! Was great to see him swim off strongly after a bit of TLC 🍻🍻
Epic trip out mate! The way you looked after those marlin is commendable. Loved how you picked up that plastic too mate!
Appreciate it mate! Gotta do you bit to keep our backyard neat and tidy 🍻🍻
Filming solo is bloody hard Sammy. Congrats on the box ticking and the great entertainment. Love it !!!
Amazing video Sammy. Wow 2 Marline, grouper and snapper. Thank you so much for having us feel that we are out there with you. I enjoyed the video fully. Greetings from USA 🇺🇸
by any standard, for those of us who enjoy fishing, this was a world class day, congrats!!!
Thanks mate! Very grateful with how it turned out! Cheers! 🍻🍻

Best of luck and tight lines!
Epic session. Nice work. ( 27:03 fly down, hahahaha )
Expertly handled...well done.....cleaning the ocean as well....cool....u did super well recovering that fish.... masterful.... really.....
Well done champion good to see you ticking off the list can tell you were having a solid deep drop session out there couldn’t help but notice the old fly down half way through the deep drop but happens to the best of us 🍻
Hahaha was just chasing a bit of aeration for the boys! You know how it is 🤣👌

So much respect for you after seeing you put in so much effort to revive that marlin that was tail hooked awesome bro👊
Appreciate it mate! Was great to see him swim off strongly 💪💪

I think risking your drone on those early shots picked cinematic points back for you....cool to see the lure bubble trails from the air, ticked the box even if it was timelapse...hey, it saved editing time
Hahah thanks mate! Always scary doing the drone out there. Getting it back solo is interesting 🤣🤣
@@SammyHitzkeFishing What would have made your day even more complicated would have been a hook up while airborne, don't lie....you were thinking it 🤭
Hi ya ,that fish was def a Stripey ,for future reference check out the area under the lower jaw that goes back to the gills ,With blues that area is way shorter than Stripey's and Blacks ,it also is a gun metal color . Great catching!!!
Great work mate!!

Yeah mate I’ll make sure I do it in an upcoming video. It’s a Miya epoch z9 reel and a wilson deep drop rod 👌
Nice, thanks mate 👍
Awesome too see Sammy I’ve been watching for a while just wondering atm where would you go prawning ?

Hey mate, I think they are getting them in the southern bay, I haven’t been lately though so not too sure! Good luck! 🍻🍻
