A Crazy Day Fishing Islands

[@superswanny123]

I think he’s trying to root ya Contender mate!! 😂 what an epic experience with some great fishing also

[@adamalback400]

Another cracking video as always mate. I always find that I learn something new with each clip that you shoot. And its often really subtle，nuanced ways of thinking and approaching each drift. And that whale footage was absolutely spectacular

[@isaacbrascoupe]

Thanks for taking us along 🎉 You are the to Man !!!

[@rockfly8384]

Great video mate. You did some awesome shallow water / estuary fly fishing it your previous videos, so I will throw a challenge for some blue water fly fishing!!!

[@martyw9675]

Hey Matt, that would be one of your best videos I have watched over the years that I have followed you. At least in the top three anyway Good that you shared the locations, although having Sailed up around that area a few times it was good to see them again. Keep up the good work Mate. Cheers Marty.

[@rosalindstewart7013]

Awesome mate, brings back some great memories fishing out of Hammo, the oval was the place for big mackerel back then, keep up the great work Matt, cheers Yogi ✌️

[@aearles7]

Loving the videos! Would be great if you could do a “boat/gear” special. I’m sure many would like to learn more about what you like and would change on your boat and also more about the gear you use.

[@markshark7521]

Nice! Made me hungry watching the cookup, love smoked cobe also golden trevs are great in th smoker too. Awesome whale action this time of year in nth Qld and its 5knts again today! After so much crappy rainy weather. Cheers 🦈

[@systemofhaz9725]

Great video as always keep it up, as for the whale situation in my opinion which could be completely wrong, but the first blow you hear was really hard which is a way they show dominance and same with the tail throw, it also a way they play or communicate from a distance with other whales letting them know where they are or could be in a playful mood they are sometimes also really curious animals, theres a lot we still dont know about them tbh. Also everything you said you did regarding driving around them you did everything correctly. P.s i worked with a whale watching company for 6 years and spent a lot of time on the water chasing these awesome animals 🤙🏻🎣

[@tonynunn-k1b]

Matty growing up on the sunny coast a mates old man was a pro fisher and always had smoked cobe in the fridge. We would just pull in on the pushies and grab a hand full and keep going on our way. What a treat to eat fish in a different way. Onto in brother.

[@minhnguyenvan1546]

I come from Vietnam, wish you have wonderful moments.

[@gerrys123]

I was on a charter off Mackay a few years back. We had a Minkie circle us for a bit showing white belly just like that. Asked around and apparently, it's a mating behavior. They see the white hull as a turn on.

[@PelagicPursuit89]

The contender was probably the perfect size as well haha

[@svenngunnarrustgard1228]

Hopefully he knew that no means no 😂​@@PelagicPursuit89

[@dream_life4465]

If I was a whale I would also get excited seeing a contender. 😂

[@adammcgeorge3538]

@@PelagicPursuit89even the whales think your a good looked feller matty ;)

[@davidrisenhoover1693]

I enjoyed the added narration instead of talking while fishing all the time

[@frankpeck8442]

Hey Matt I watch ur videos and love them I can't believe just last week I got that sauce and marinated some pork steaks with it yumbo and have been catching spotted mackeral here in Broome will b trying it for sure 😀 👌

[@TOM20000]

I really enjoyed that vid Matt, freakin legend !! 💪

[@Stevos_HookedonRods4844]

Top Stuff Matt, getting stretch, whales & a feed for kings 💥💥

[@glenndoyle7996]

Holy shite!!! I think I would’ve got out of there just in case!!! Fantastic footage!

[@PelagicPursuit89]

yeah we did towards the end haha

[@HarperTairakena]

love the stuff bro keep it up ❤‍🔥

[@Skittlesfishing]

Matty definitely a few beers deep into the cooking segment hahah good shit man

[@travispeck-ld8wf]

Awesome session & cook up 👌🎣🍻

[@djhazeman]

Show us that new smoker in action will you !? Thanx so much for all the sharing ! I recon you got it all on your backyard but if you ever start the “Pelagic Persuit World Tour”, don’t forget to come by Portugal !

[@ImpactZoneSpearfishing]

Hey mate, from someone certified in large whale disentanglement (yes that’s a thing, and I’ve saved 2 humpback so far) the high pitched squeal you hear when they blow off is a sure fire way to know they are pissed off, normally it starts when sharks rock up on an entangled whale or when a boat gets a little close for comfort. It’s night and day difference when you compare a squealing whale with a relaxed one.. my 2 cents, I’d say those were warning slaps.

[@PelagicPursuit89]

really interesting to here mate and appreciate the comment. we were drifting away from them and they were the ones following us which I assumed shouldn't have made them aggressive but the high pitch squeal was definitly different and seemed aggressive

[@ImpactZoneSpearfishing]

@@PelagicPursuit89 never know what could piss them off, could just be the younger one being taught how to show aggression. The calf was doing a spy-hop while the mum slapped her tail but that’s just a guess, can never really confirm how they are feeling but aggression was definitely on the mums mind haha glad no damage came to you or the boat

[@JustSticker]

smoked, pan seared, made into a dip. big chunky flakes make for at great sandwich with those LING. got my first Land Based LING from Okaloosa Island Pier in Okaloosa Island, FL, USA in 2022 on an NLBN Swim bait. ranks up with most Grouper families in the USA with a large, flaky meat

[@bobbobsen2738]

Hey we would love a vid about the fish smoking process. Keep up the good work, cheers!

[@808bAler]

That golden trevally (with the stripes) grills and smokes extremely well, too.

[@davidrisenhoover1693]

Great cooking 😊

[@podocrypto6072]

Yo Barry is a great fishing mate!!!

[@somewheresalty]

No idea about the whales body language? But great footage, and to start the morning! question, the Cobia what gear you land it on?? impressive fish for what looks like light gear?? my favourite fish to smoke. another great video.... well worth watching

[@808bAler]

The best Char Siu sauce I've ever made has hoisin in it. Hoisin is comparable to a heavy teri sauce with a Chinese five-spice base. Toasted sesame seeds is a required condiment in my kitchen, for sure, flavor multiplier.

[@darbyshaw1514]

Hey Matt next time try sashimi the cobia was on a boat of Port Headland and caught a couple was bloody good.

[@lawrenceking9746]

My wife is from Hong Kong, try that Char Sui on roasted pork fillet it’s immense 😋

[@ozwatto]

So good.👍 Now some merch with a whale tail.😅 Whenever you see on food labels (flavour enhancer 621) that's MSG.

[@PelagicPursuit89]

That’s good to know, cheers

[@inodwahyunmancing]

Mantap boss

[@russellleaver1745]

how did the cobe smoke up mate they do have that texture

[@dezray5547]

My whales not flash but if I heard correctly that young bull was fist pumpin and yelling " THE BOYS "

[@BillyDanielfishing]

Had the exact same thing happen many times.. during Calving the get really stand off

[@Rexy888]

Berry turned that cobia into a flathead😂

[@rahmanhidayat2916]

Try squid fishing.. The anchoring spot looks promising

[@adammalski]

The whales were after a date with the two good looking roosters! That Spanish cook up was all time! Cracking sesh / edit mate

[@Matt-l4m]

Was it better than your shark footage Malski? Probably not..

[@adammalski]

@@Matt-l4mha. Different vibes

[@harrpers1]

Mud mullet lol 😂 mint in the smoker mate

[@PelagicPursuit89]

I actually smoked it the other day. soaked it in honey soy and brown sugar. went incredibly well whole family loved it

[@SuperNAD97]

Epic whales mate and try the sesame dressing with a steak. The stuff goes with anything

[@bryanrocke6243]

Pretty common behaviour for the humpbacks Matty, here in Hervey Bay we get them doing it up on the West coast of Fraser Island up in platypus bay thru these months pretty regularly He’s just checking you out, we calling it mugging. So you basically got mugged by a whale

[@mrBird969]

Biscuit malt used in the grain bill of the beer - biscuit like flavour from the grain

[@PelagicPursuit89]

Interesting. Tasted amazing

[@patrickcabrido1337]

Finally another video brother!!

[@PelagicPursuit89]

got a few really top notch clips coming

[@zeph6439]

The whale was basking, so I don't feel it intended you any harm. It probably saw a couple of good guys fishing and, waving a tail, wished you all the fisherman's luck in the world.

[@angrysquid666]

Humpbacks aren't known for aggression. They were being playful, but their sheer size at such close quarters would make anyone's bum cheeks squeak. 🤣🤣

[@10hanga]

People pay very good cash to watch whales put on a show like that thanks for the awesome footage

[@benny82ish]

Your bigger boat is too big. They thought you were the Shonin Maru 😂😂

Bro, how the hell don't you have over 1m subscribers? You're being robbed by the algorithm! Have you considered an electric trolling motor for the contender, so when you're drifting over a good show u can spot lock on it?
