Star drag all the way for me! Can't beat the durability of the enclosed drag washers. I've had that reel for 7 years now and its still going strong 👍 Tight Lines out there!
@@NomadicKayakFishing I've got a 7 year old Torium as well and it's been well thrashed yet never missed a beat hauling in so many kings. Not the smoothest of drag or flashiest of reels but for its price it offers superb value for money.
I forgot to breathe for a minute. Man that was intense! You brought me to church, I started praying when you were saying please! 😅 The sharing part, legend!
Great Knowledge of Knots and everything fishing. Congrats on a superb Kingi, I really enjoyed watching you nail it! Thought you were going to lose it but you never gave up. Good on you for sharing your catch too!
I’m not into fishing at all but for some reason I still watch fishing shows and this episode was 100 times better than any big production on tv, super stoked for you that fish was a big boy.
Absolute legend, the energy and excitement was intoxicating. Fantastic to see 99% of the fish utilized. Keep up the great content. Again, another inspiring video.
Well done bro! Epic fish and well earned. Stoked for you. 🤝 You bring a big smile with your genuine attitude and excitement. Keep up the amazing videos.
ef-n too much Matt 😂 You snapped a few heart strings for us,the joy of catching that masive king fish. And sharing it out. I'm glad you kept the kingi.
Thanks heaps! That'll be the only big king I keep for a long time, but couldn't be more stoked! Tight lines out your ways and watch out for the sharks, they get crazy This time of year
WOW! That was awesome Matt, congratulations. That will be a fish you remember for the rest of your life. So happy for you. Love how you are keeping the trace and hook. On those windy, or not so good days, take a look at it and remember how it felt on that day. Keep up the great videos. They are always well done, and I am always looking out to see if you have released a new one.
Wow congrats man! I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it 🤯I've done a bit of softbaiting on my 400 around that rock, so I know how gnarly that current gets. Your skills have come on 10 fold since i started watching your vids 6 months ago. Well done again 👍One little tip to catch kahawai out of those work ups easily is a paddle tail or curly tail softbait retrieved quickly. Not necessarily on the surface. You can let it sink for a bit then fast retrieve
Awesome to meet you this evening at that lovely spot i best not say where. Thanks for putting up with my autistic conversation, i get excited when i meet another dead keen fisherman like myself(we are rarer than you think). It was an absolute pleasure to meet the guy who i welcome into my family home on screen every week. Your content is authentic and we all grow a little more watching you learning as you go. Some grassroots goodness brother so keep it up! You have my number and you are always wrlcome to tag along on a kingi trip around Hokianga or some Far North Land Based Snapper Action. In the meantime i hope the next video is of you with a yellowfin! You certainly put the work in today to get one!
chur chur brother! Your conversation is just as autistic as mine hahah! always stoked to meet another person who's are far down the rabbit hole as myself! appreciate you man, tight lines out there
What buzz catching that from a kayak. You have the best fishing channel considering the work you put in on that kayak. Love watching from Australia mate 👍
Sweet bud, my timing was out i couldn't get of Port Jackson, the south westerly was pumping but, there is a weather window next week. I will be heading up that way then. Choice video Matt.
Damn fine catch Matt! Loved your generosity of spirit in sharing your kaimoana and heartwarming to see it reciprocated with some Ava’s. Be well and be safe Matty.
Phewee, Matt hitting that VTEC hard today! BRAP BRAP. What a video mate, awesome fish and an awesome heart sharing with others. Thats what its all about. Look forward to the next one buddy travel safe ✌️
Yeeehaaaa!…Craaacked It!…What a beauty bro!….Good on ya for sharing the love too…those campers be happy az to get some fresh Kingi…. Awww mouth is watering thinking about it!….Great vlog as always, stay safe, be happy, n do what you do bro👌Tight Lines🫡
you rock bro!! legend!! as an argentinan living in queenstown i can feel you are going to be a massive youtuber! congratulations for wath you do! you transmite really good vibes! CHUR!!!
Hey bro loving the videos, just some quick tips in regards to dispatching the kingi. It's really important that you bleed pelagic fish right after securing due to the thick bloodline each species has It'll also help keep the fish fresher esp if the chill pod is baking in the sun! Additionally the fish will also be sashimi grade if you do so. Tight lines and keep up the epic work!
Cheers bro, it's standard procedure for me to bleed and iki all fish, but in This situations I only iki spiked the fish as I was drifting too fast to bleed the fish in the water. The fish is still definitely sashimi grade, I had sesame crusted belly flap sashimi for breakfast today👌 Tight lines out there brother!
Epic video. My goal is to get a big Kingfish off the kayak. Great job on landing that thing in super shallow water and love how you gave fish away. Been waiting for you to upload.
Thanks bro. Hopefully with your new kayak you'll be able to get to some of the offshore pins around your area. Come January they'll be stacked with kingfish 👍
Awesome too see brother! Reminds me of the time i caught a 5 foot bullshark in 2 metres of water ( in a river with live mullet) Its always a rush on the yak! Would love to have a chance at a big kingie! Tight lines from Australia 👌
Epic man epic. Awesome scrap definitely gave u a good run around ahhaah gotta love the old green backs. Congrats bro congrats epic. Wicked reaction hahah Marlin or big tuna next?!?!?
Been watching your videos for a long time now Matt, I'm hoping this is the one that gets a bit more traction and grows your followers! Would love to see you make a living out of this after all your efforts =)
your a legend mate! thanks for watching! making a living off this is a pipe dream at this point. but legends like you are why i make these vids tight lines out there!
Absolutely brilliant epic fish. I’ve been doing what you do all my life and only just started my channel. Great video as always just keep doing what you’re doing and being yourself which you can see it shines through in your videos. Big fan of your channel 👍
Bro that's such a gnarly fight. I literally caught my first King today, one of two but they were rats, still, they go so fuckin hard and somehow both were foul hooked?? I've become so addicted to lure fishing, don't think I'll ever go back to baits, it's just so boring in comparison. Keep it up! You're killing it.
