400km On A Micro Boat, This Fish Saved Me! - Fraser Island Part 2

Part Duex!! Scraped through by the skin of my teeth with a buzzer beating Fish... Fraser Island is one of the special places in the world, the largest sand island on the planet and one of the only places that Black Marlin can be regularly caught in less then a few metres of water! This trip pushed the skiff to new limits and was a real adventure, with both ups and downs. Really hope you're enjoying the Fraser Trip Vids, one more to come. Cheers Rod

I only just found your channel the other day and IM OBSESSED BROTHER! How you can just calmly take on a solo adventure on just a random island AND be self sufficient is truly inspiring! Keep up the amazing work brother

[@rokkitkit]

thanks for watching mate👍

[@theredgamer4600]

same here he is awesome!!

[@bmanferlife]

He truly is an inspiration to so many. My gf has no idea where my sudden spur of cooking for her has came from 😂 i usually only man the grill otherwise she is the chef haha. With your inspiration I’ve transformed the way i cook. Cheers brother

It’s been a long time since I have lived by the beach but man I tell you what. There is no feeling like cruising on a boat in the water early in the morning and smelling the boat engine fire up. Paradise!

[@hyqin1124]

Awesome skills in managing the skiff, lines, camera and the fish. Great catch, certainly deserving of more. Props for not hesitating a moment to release it.

[@johnherman3261]

I haven’t seen you catch a fish that hasn’t fought like crazy. I enjoy your videos liven the dream baby!

[@nodrama490]

The beautiful sound of the drag running ❤️

[@adsyak]

Fantastic Rod. This encapsulates a big fishing trip quite nicely. The massive hopes and anticipation; the fear of failing to catch anything; the effort and persistence; and the joy and relief of actually catching a decent fish. Looking forward to the next installment.

[@rokkitkit]

Thanks mate, yea so much expectation... I left happy but gee it made me work for every bit of it.

How does this channel only have 21k subs?!?! Awesome videos.

Nice adventure brother I like that . You need to carry some one else with you Be safe

Great video. I feel your pain and joy. It's so much fun creating adventures, but more fun when you actually have interesting content to publish on video. Two days and no hits, very discouraging. Thanks for creating this awesome video.

Taking the PF for the maiden voyage this weekend in the keys on a three day trip. Just waiting for my motor to arrive at the shop. Never a dull moment lol.

[@luischavez2595]

Five seconds in and I had to pause the video and give it a like instantly! Those drone scenes were spectacular! Awesome series!

[@MrTigerlore]

This is exactly the kind of stuff I wanna do. But I live in a landlocked state. It’s just not the same doing this in a Smart Car, hooking squirrels and crows for food. I think people might stare.

[@castinlead3997]

Shoot them, squirrel tastes pretty good but crow tastes like hot garbage. Last overnight kayak trip I got a couple of the good tasting ones and they really hit the spot.

[@ElkinsEric]

Cast Inlead nothing like homemade biscuits and squirrel gravy.

[@Youtubecensoredmyusername]

Cast Inlead lol you’ve tried crow? That’s crazy. I hate them enough to want to eat them just in principal. But I doubt I could really do it.

[@MikaeleIosefa714]

I like how you did the beginning of this vid. Fast forward part 1 into the exact spot it ended. Always a pleasure to watch your vids. Makes the work day go by faster. =)=)

[@chrisdowdle1]

An easy decision between television and you mate. Really enjoyable and also informative. I've done an awful lot of Fraser by 4x4 but the inside is still a mystery to me.

[@mojondro]

Awesome video bro keep it up man, your channel is growing great

[@johnfryman4428]

Cool video - Thank you !

[@matwalker6336]

After watching the last year of your videos I see now you had a small four stroke merc. It is my understanding it was a 6 hp. The bigger four stroke will get the same gas mileage as the smaller one as you are no where near pushing it. But clearly have guts when you need it. I love watching the evolution of a system. The rods forward is a huge improvement in my opinion over the kayak. Then new boat but no sounder.... then new sounder..... and so one. cheers. Best of luck fishing
