Enjoyed this 3 part series very much. I had no idea people fished and travelled in small boats like that - totally awesome! I live in Arctic Canada, so seeing this was really amazing, thanks for posting.

[@rokkitkit]

Glad you enjoyed the vids mate! Yea Arctic Canada would be a world away for sure.

[@NuManXplore]

Yes it is!

[@caribbeanfishingacademycha4353]

Man, you have made my Pandemic day (this is actually day 32 of lockdown here in the Caribbean Island of Puerto Rico, 3/13/2020) with your three part series... Felt like I was there with you and brought great memories. Need it that. Gracias amigo; Capt Luis Burgos out

[@jeffgoucher6956]

Ahh Rod, it's hard to put my finger on what it is that makes me love your vids so much but just keep doing it mate because when I see a notification that Rokkit has uploaded a new video I know it's going to be a good day.

[@rokkitkit]

Thanks for all the support Jeff! Glad your enjoying the vids!

[@sarbaazchabahar]

Can't wait to visit the amazing country of Australia and go fishing...🍺👍✌🇦🇺🎣🐟🎣🤪 That whales shot was amazing🐳🐳🐳🐋🐋🐋👍

[@aarynj]

I reckon if you brained the trip and caught dozens of big fish it would probably put every trip in the future in the so so basket. Frazer wants you back and she gave you that golden moment to seal the deal. Awesome trip with the all the highs and lows that every adventure is made of.

[@rhyswerner8749]

Well bloody said mate.

[@rokkitkit]

Cheers mate, yep I’ve definitely got to get back up soon I think👍

[@10wizzle]

Well said

[@trevormurphy3362]

I'm really glad I found this channel. I'm so used to people pushing people off and not helping one another. It's nice to see another perspective of the world.

[@markreaves6675]

Been waiting all week for this! Fantastic trip. That fish was just the invitation needed for a return trip! No doubt that fish will haunt you! Great video! Thanks.

[@MrTatts64]

Simple "boating" advice from someone who's been caught out in too many bad storms. If in doubt and you are already ashore, then stay there!! Felt so gutted for you with that last fish there mate. Can honestly say that I felt some of your pain when that thing came off the hook. Thanks for another great video, Rod. Thoroughly enjoyed it, thanks mate!!

[@greatwhitesfishingadventur2273]

That was AMAZING Rod !!!!!! At least you got the hook up on camera !!!! WOW ... !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi from the UK. Just as you going home you get the best bite ever. A typical fisherman tale. At least you have proof you hooked up. Keep up the good work more longer vids pal

Saved by a fish at the last eh? That looked like such a cool trip!!! you did better that I did fishing your grounds on the gold coast lol... It was great to meet you the other day and thanks again for organizing the loaner kayak for me while I was over there! Cheers!!!

[@natgordon442]

Kerry Flowers Kayak Fisherman Rokkit kit and Kerry collaboration video next time rod is in northland? That would be dope

[@KerryFlowers]

@@natgordon442 We did talk about it... I guess it depends on weather Rod comes back here....Cheers!!!

[@rokkitkit]

I’d be keen to come back to NZ for sure👍 good to meet you too Kerry will have to make sure we catch up for a fish next time.

[@RocketsFishingAdventures]

Great footage of the marlin chasing down your lure on the cast mate :)

[@rokkitkit]

Thanks Rod, yea was crazy seeing it come flying in a few times👍

[@PacoRamosKURRICANltd]

Amazing adventure. That marlin counts. Definitely. It doesn't matter if it didn't come aboard. We have same problem with white marlin coming until the boat but they didn't bite the lures. Solution, just stop the lure and let it sink. Completely dead. Even with the skirt lure. And fish on!

[@rokkitkit]

Really! Now I have to go back and give it another go!

[@bertifrasilmeye995]

Hi named after me! what a place,pity about the black, great footage. cheers Fraser

[@samthemanfish6903]

Awesome episode mate. Always hanging out for your uploads. Don't change a thing!! The blacks don't give a sucker an even break lol.

Congrats mate you deserved hopefully next time you can pull in that beast!!! As always thanks for the amazing vidro

Brilliant little series, mate. I have some life long memories of Fraser Island back from my travelling days. You have a truly beautiful country 👍🏻

[@markreaves6675]

Fraser Island getting some press today! Knew where it was thanks to your trip.

[@ccmusic2249]

Nice job Rod! I never understood why people were so into Marlin until I watched that fish chase your lure in. I FELT THE HYPE! Haha. Stoked for you man.

[@rokkitkit]

They are a very impressive fish when you see them up close for sure👍

[@lukejtav7452]

So close mate. Epic trip. Thanks for sharing.

Well done mate . Now i wanna watch the Simpsons for some reason 🤪

[@rahnlawson9463]

At about 14:27 you can see him going after your lure..... awesome !!

[@zacsbee]

Spewing mate! Pretty cool to get the footage of him coming back for a 2nd crack though haha

[@ryanhill6745]

So close to glory.......you know this just means you have to do it over again and pin that black marlin🎣👍

Thanks Shoulders! Summer is almost upon us👌

[@scottydkayakfishing5713]

Yep can’t come quick enough . Will have to catch up on the water soon

[@turbostyler]

Awesome video Rod. I love Fraser Island. I've been there every year for the last 8 years or so. About 3 years back I dropped a bait about 200m out the front of Nkgala rocks with my drone on the eastern side and it was picked up by a small black. They are amazing things when you see them get up and start tail walking. Last year I went to Wathumba with a kayak and tried to hook onto one, but wasn't successful.

[@rokkitkit]

Yea I thing I will make the trip regularly from now on. its and amazing place... ill have t check out the east side too one day soon.

[@stevencox75]

awesome AS always

[@daldan12]

dont know if anyone has spotted the picture at 8:19 if you slow the playback to the slowest speed you can see it and even pause it.

Haha you nailed it mate, classic line right there👌🏆

[@drewrosa5403]

That was great i bet that heart was pumping for a minute Good edit and keep it up m8

[@rokkitkit]

Yea was brief, but was very exciting after trying so hard!

[@VSSS50]

Spectacular part of the world and great video series Rod! Made it to Wathumba Jan 2020 via Inskip > Orchid, caught nothing the whole Fraser trip and drank too much ;) But cant wait to get back, hopefully with a vessel of some sort. Stoked to see you got hook ups mate!! Cheers from Adelaide

[@michellec485]

that guac looks amazing

[@adsyak]

I was so keen to watch this and had to wait to do a bunch of errands this morning! Awesome to see you get onto your target, but so disappointing for it to throw the hook. Fuel to the fire for the next trip. Still, a great series and trip!

[@scottbest8476]

Great vid Rod. I bet you forgot about your hangover once the black started peeling line?!

[@rokkitkit]

Ha yep, was feeling very sketchy in the morning, but came good after a bit :)

[@alanwareham7391]

A nice series of videos ,and I do envy you being able to undertake it in such a beautiful place with such calm waters ,but if ever I had the opportunity to undertake such a trip I think that I would use a traditional English style cove boat in the same length or alloy boat ,not only because they are a lot more stable as well as taking the weather better ,but also being able to carry that 2 nd get you out of trouble engine because no matter how good your motor is the AA doesn't come out 3 miles offshore.As I said a nicely made video ,but for such long journeys on your own ,as some once once said " I think you need a bigger boat ""

[@Live2Fish]

Good one! Had to chuckle at the "feeling fragile" part 😂

[@rokkitkit]

Haha, yep flu and a hangover... perfect start for a long 50km troll home 😂

[@tommygun2050]

Awesome videos love the Frazer coast what a place to just kick back and chill away from the big smoke #sydney have family up at Harvey bay when I go I don’t want to leave

LOVED that 3 part video, man. What an epic time, minus the black getting off haha. Been looking at those skiffs. I have a Stealth Fisha 460 that I love and we're just starting to get those boats over here in the states. A buddy of mine recently picked one up and I really want to take it for a spin.

Cheers mate, yea the skiff are very cool fun, especially if you have a good launch spot 👍

Was at fraser last seek there was to much tuna there it got to the point where we had lost almost every lure we owned. Was really surprised not to see big schools of them🤔 As always nice video
