A wahoo jumped in our boat! Once in a lifetime session

G'day Legends! This truly is a once in a lifetime session! Out at Cato Reef with absolutely perfect conditions, Lucas and I found ourselves in an amazing wahoo and yellowfin tuna session. Words can't describe just how crazy it was to see what we saw that day. I hope the video shows just how epic it was! Cheers!

8:11 8:11 8:11 HOLY CRAP that was the most epic thing I've ever seen.

[@kyk2454]

It could’ve killed him, how is that epic?

[@vjabonador1067]

@@kyk2454 but it didn't. It's a wahoo, not a swordfish, sailfish or marlin. You use the username "i love spearfishing". Where do you even dive to spearfish, your bathtub? If you have an outdoor hobby, be it hunting, fishing, diving or whatnot, you should at least have an appreciation for the thrills of the outdoors, especially ones you walk away from. And most especially the ones you manage to record and immortalize the moment, sharing it for all the world to see. Could've, should've, would've, if you get so safety-obsessed that you're paralyzed from paranoia and fear, you better just stay at home.

VJ Abonador whats your instagram? Do you know that i caught the biggest spanish mackerel in the UAE which was 51 kilos. Type down your instagram and i’ll show you all the proof you want just look at my pfp😂😂

[@kyk2454]

VJ Abonador ive been freediving since i was 9 im 17 now. So, know your facts before you talk shit. And my friend got blinded bye a jumping milk fish that came right at his eye.

[@vjabonador1067]

@@kyk2454 yes, yes, you're great and all that. And your friend has my condolences. But again, going back to the video, Sammy walked away from it. His adrenaline may have spiked, he may have even peed or shit his pants a little, I don't know. It may have been mostly luck, sure. But it shouldn't stop you from going out to fish. Or appreciating the fact that he got footage of an epic moment and shared it to us.

[@gazmo6070]

Dude that is legit the best sesh I have ever seen on my many years of YouTubing hours and hours of fishing videos. Hope that lure is in a gold plated frame

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

haha thanks mate! really appreciate It!! Can confirm that lure got retired and sits above my computer!

[@neubianx]

No doubt. I've spent far too many hours watching fishing videos, and this is one of the most amazing ever. Those jumps are unreal.

[@TheRichram]

@@neubianx Anchored, 1mi off the coast of NC last month, fishing for Whiting ,and out of the blue a 12' 9" Thresher shark, Jumped in my boat. Will have to get the vid and pics posted.

[@bradystoffer1078]

@@TheRichram Wholly hell bro 😳 I can't even imagine the chaos that ensued. Some of the shit that happens on fishing adventures is just amazing some times. I haven't done any saltwater fishing but am an avid fisherman here in the finger lakes region of upstate NY. Northern pike seem to always be the ones doing crazy shit that people never believe lol While ice fishing I was reeling in a bluegill and a huge pike come blasting right up out of the hole after it as I was pulling it out. 46" as we were talking pictures it started thrashing and flopped into the hole it came out of and disappeared. I've had one jump into the boat as I was landing a largemouth as well. The damn pike was barely bigger than the bass 😂 Had them run into my legs while fishing in waders. They chase the baits in. I honestly think they do it on purpose. Meaning when people are fishing the pike take notice and will sort of come to them and wait knowing they can ambush prey when they catch and release there catches. Its crazy. There like Fresh water barracuda. When river fishing in a boat the silver carp explode and come jumping into the boat. They hit you all over and its crazy dangerous. My buddy got knocked out bye one lol 10 years ago they weren't even here now there's literally millions of them like a plague. There's parts of the river we don't even kayak any more because they've taken over. When you spook them they jump and it spooks all the buddies and next thing you know there's hundreds jumping everywhere. Sounds fun but it sucks badly, feels like people hucking softballs at you or some shit lol

[@irvcranistan]

Sammy, Greetings from a "SoCal Pelagic fisher dude" living in Nagoya (no fish) Japan! You rock ! This video is a "whoot!" Unbelievable everything!!! I love the Whoo jumping in the boat! Epic Day! In SoCal (San Diego) I have a "Scout 262 Abaco" - Express Cruiser (twin 150 Yami's and Sytex Suite). Its rigged for Bluefin, Yellowfin, Marlin and anything else we come across. I had a Grady White "17.5 Spirit," almost exactly like your center console boat with the "flipping seat back" and limited room! I caught lots of fish on that boat at over 50-100 kms offshore! Before buying the Scout, I was going to replace my 2-stroke Merc 100HP and put a Suzuki 135 HO 4-stroke on it. Massive range and economy change. Bought into a bigger boat instead. Love the vids, the friendship and the beers!! I'm hooked and will plan a 2021 -2022 summer trip to Queensland for some offshore and inshore fishing! All the best, Steve Nagoya, Japan

[@NoDoubtImPissed]

Might have done it due to regulations, where I'm at I believe you can't keep a fish unless it was hooked in the mouth or on the head Honestly not sure im just getting back into fishing last time i did was in middle school so take what I say with a pound of salt

[@xxxSiMoN18xxx]

Wish we had fishing like this in the states so jealous of this shit!! Question tho is there rules on harvest over there catch and release only? I’d doubt any of those fish survive bleeding out in the boat beating themselves to death and then drying out for a photo shoot. Sharks are eating good I guess. I’m not hating at all just not sure how it works over there.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Unfortunately we weren't set up to take fish of that size home, so we did our best to get them back in the water as quickly as possible or not to even take them from the water at all. we figured They have more chance of surviving a hook wound and then being released then they do being put in the icebox.. all fish swam off. Hopefully most of them survived, the rest would become apart of the food chain in the place of a live healthy fish

[@hans3331000]

@@SammyHitzkeFishing I don't live by the sea but what do you mean you weren't "set up" to take the fish home? Doesn't the license you currently hold set the rules prior to going fishing? Unless the laws at the time didn't allow you to take it home. Also if you knew you were gonna go tuna fishing then why not get ready for it? Unless you didn't plan on it. Even so, then why risk them bleeding out by fishing them or potentially not making it alive? kinda weird if you ask me

[@williamcotrone4996]

@@SammyHitzkeFishing The big tuna that was bleeding definitely didn't make it, as well as the waho that you reached into it's gills to get the hook out.

That has got to be the greatest, most epic WAHOO videos ever made, if not the greatest wahoo fishing trips ever! And all fish caught with no trolling, boat sitting still, in a small boat, all on light gear spinning rods, sight casting to giant wahoos with artificial lures. Only the best wahoo fishermen can only dream of a bite and a trip like that! Great job guys! What's funny was the by-catch was yellow fin tuna! And.... all fish released! Amazing! Those jumps and the one that landing in the boat on it's own was simply epic!

When I was a kid working as a decky for my old boy on his charter boat, out of WA up around Canarvon/Gnaraloo we had a pretty large Spaniard jump out and execute itself on the wheelhouse one day, boat was a big cat with flying bridge etc. We were coming back into the lagoon/mooring and the thing just leapt up out of the channel, spooked by the boat, and hit the glass and lay dead on the deck up front.
