As always, great times had on the reef Sammy! Nonstop action! See you next weekend Sammy! Stay safe you LEGEND!

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Thanks for watching mate!

[@chadelz]

Aus really is a magical looking place, holy heck. I'm not sure there's a better place to fish in the world. Thanks for not only giving us sick fishing vids, but for showing off Australia better than your tourism boards, truly beautiful. My grandfather was going to immigrate to Australia, but ended up choosing South Africa.... Well, when I die, I'm clearly going to have to have a word with him, "maybe South Africa wasn't the right choice then was it grandad??" lol.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Appreciate it mate! Thanks for the kind words! I’ve seen plenty of fishing vids for SA! Plenty on offer over there too! But that beach launching looks crazy 😬😬

[@chadelz]

Beach launching the wild coast will excite you! Personally stoked for when SHF goes global - don't forget a wild coast off the rocks edition, there's a muscle cracker down here with ya name on it@@SammyHitzkeFishing

Cheers Brother

Another great vid Sammy. Got onto a couple nice fish and some nice yummy’s. I was nervous when you didn’t upload last weekend but seems like you had a good trip 👍

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

[@dannyinnes5484]

Awesome video Sammy. Would love to see a cook up with some of those Coral Trout. Can't wait for the next instalment from this trip.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Yeah not a bad idea mate! Will keep it in mind for future vids 🍻🍻

[@davesmith6891]

Some sick fishing, it would be awesome to get out there one day, love ya work Sammy keep it up 👍👍🍻🍻

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

That’s a monster mate! Well done 🍻🍻

[@jasongoodwin8701]

Amazing fishing with some seriously great angler. Not to mention an array of arsenal at your disposal. Can you maybe let everyone know what to bring on Big Cat it they want to book a charter because Wilson won’t be there for everyone.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Yeah will knock one of those videos up shortly mate 👍👍

[@skitzlife]

Letss goo, looks like its gonna be a good vid, been missing the content since the other weekend with no vid 👌🤙

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Haha sorry mate! Was out of reception so no vid, hopefully this one makes up for it? 🍻🍻

Thanks mate!

[@safeman1231]

Any info on the protective gloves, heading up to Swaines in a couple of weeks and do not need a hook in hands to spoil the trip. Thanks for all your efforts.

[@kizzjd9578]

Great video! Can you tell wilson to make some spiral wrapped jig rods? They dont listen to me lol

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Hahah sorry mate no can do! I’m not a fan of them either!! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[@kizzjd9578]

@@SammyHitzkeFishing ah damn 😂

[@MYeahman]

Gday Sammy, not sure if you have done this somewhere already, but wondering if you could recommend a "minimum quiver" and a "cover all bases" list gear wise for a trip out to the swains/reef. Looking to organise a trip later on in the year!

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

G’day mate! Yeah will be doing one of those videos soon actually 👍👍

[@paulikirch1]

Sammy I just ordered a few of your weighted trolling heads and will be rigging them with ballyhoo or gar fish like your setup looking for wahoo and dolly and possible makeral!

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Hope you nail a few mate! Thanks for the support 🍻🍻

[@phillipsanders5393]

God u we’re flat with him when he let that good trout get off 😂😂

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Hahah no one likes losing fish 😂😂

[@janelleholder6429]

Thanks for watching 🍻🍻

[@Mangoyoyo385]

If you are a fisho the Swains should be a bucket lister, there really is nothing like it, love your channel bro!!

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Yeah i agree mate! It’s an insane place hey! 🍻🍻

[@jordangrant6219]

So jealous Sammy! Would love to get out on big cat one day but it's always fully booked Serious question though, what was the bait caster you were jigging with towards the end? I prefer to jig lefty but it's hard finding stuff, is it a Daiwa Lexa 300?

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Hey mate that’s an ATC overhead! You might be able to find them online. Nice little reeel!

[@ejsman36]

Take me to the Swains Sammy! How do I get there from northeastern NY state?

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Hey mate, I reckon you’d need to fly to Australia first and book a charter out there!

[@dwayne1655]

On a drop like you filmed, would you favour the top or bottom of the drop?

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Usually the top mate 👍

[@paulikirch1]

Good afternoon Sammy! Here from st croix usvi. I've been watching all your videos I'm back a few years plus now.... and I would like to do a bit of the same here in the carribbean! I've never filmed and edited any videos for pretty much anything. Could you tell me how you do it. I.e. what editing software you like to use and what equipment you use for filming and microphones and such. Any feedback would be great! Thanks and keep making videos and I'll keep watching them happily!

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Hey mate, appreciate the support! I use use basic gear really. A mavic pro 2 drone, 2 x GoPros and edit on premiere pro. The mics are just shot gun and lapel mics 👍

[@yetti4817]

How do you get to plan a trip?

[@user-es4ox2wr8i]

Sammy is that your boat? I like the safety rails around it?

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

No mate, that’s the tenders the charter boat supplies us 👍👍

[@larafish69]

Yo Sammy , I have been up to the Swains a fair bit From Bundaberg as a pro , 170 Nm at 10 Kn is 17hours steaming time . Big Cat runs out of Bundaberg so the math is not mathing ?

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Hey mate, we fish northern Swains, and travel at around 8-9knots 👍

[@larafish69]

yer we fish outer reef from the bottom to top of Swains , Almost to Saumarez Reef we only steem at 9-10kntsheeps of red snapper gold band snapper trout reds cod 100-130 meters deep . Being a pro would not waist my time catching GTs . Big Cat Runs out of Bundaberg Port Marina . next time steem another 20nm and try Saumarez its better . @@SammyHitzkeFishing

[@DBWELDER100]

you should go frame by frame to see how long it took the line to go by the boat. Knowing the length of the boat you can calculate the speed of the fish.

[@davidderham881]

How’s wardy knocking that trout off. Sammy sounded off it. Should reefed it straight in 😅

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Yeah hindsight is a beautiful thing! I think wardy just didn’t want me winning biggest trout prize 😂😂

[@timsmith9054]

Sammy what’s your honest opinion on coral trout ? I think they are overrated and a bit plain. Got nothing on red emperor !! Still an awesome fish though

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

They aren’t my number 1 pick that’s for sure but still good chewing. I prefer tuskfish, pearl perch etc etc

[@saltgars.g4518]

👍💯

[@mobydickmischeivousadventures]

Is this an old ep or another new trip?🎣🎣

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

New trip mate, got back on Tuesday 👍

[@ClenioBuilder]

👏👏👏👏🤜🤛

[@jayjohnson9668]

Hey Sammy gonna be on a 54’ Cat for a week in the the BVI with the fam for 10 days starting April 1st. Already talked with the cptn and crew and told them I need to be outfitted with all the proper fishing gear. They assured me I didnt need to bring any of my gear as they had everything covered. I am a little nervous without my own gear but gonna trust them that they have it all covered.🙏 Anyway excited to troll all around for 10 days! Maybe Wilson can send me some nice plugs and rigs!🤣 So I can give them a review down there. 🤔

[@bigfishfishing-111]

I went in 2022. We had to have our own gear including lures. How could you book a trip like that without your own gear

[@jayjohnson9668]

@@bigfishfishing-111 They outfit the boat with whatever you tell them to. A friend of mine went on this same boat last year and said they had all top of the line rods,reels ,tackle,lures etc…and there is a big tackle shop at the marina you leave out of so if theres something particular you need they will get it there before you leave. Thats what I am being told.😎

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Sounds like a great trip mate! Hope you guys get some good weather and great fishing! 🍻🍻

[@jayjohnson9668]

@@SammyHitzkeFishing Thanks buddy! Looking forward to it and no matter what happens with the fishing its gonna be a helluva lot better than not going at all. Will update ya on how it went when I get back. Keep up the great content brotha! 😎🐟🎣🎣

[@bigdog2601]

Those boats look so uncomfortable to fish from. Fk all room to move and fight fish. . I’d rather send my own boat to the gbr and catch the same species

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

They aren’t to bad actually mate. Most people don’t take as much fishing and camera gear as we do though 😂😂

[@yetti4817]

How do you get to plan a trip?

You can book them with Big cat reality charters 👍
