Action Snapper Fishing And Nearly Spooled By A Monster!

[@franksaunders6534]

What an incredible piece of footage and true demonstration of what to do when a fish reefs you and how to wash a good fish out in a strong sideward surge (not an easy task). I would also like you to tell your wife what a great job she does on the camera - she manages to capture the moments well, the wash, the swell, fading light etc and it all amounts to great viewing, Alex!

[@AlexBellissimo]

Thanks Frank Difficult fishing but I like to be challenged. Yes my camera person is awesome thanks mate 😎👍

[@danekennedy205]

Just want to thank you for all of your snapper videos and guides. Thanks to you I was able to land two this morning. Who would of thought a bream setup would catch such great fish off the rocks!!! Your a LEGEND

[@AlexBellissimo]

Awesome Snapper! Would love to see how you like to cook them, Alex! A catch and cook video would be great to see 🤙🏽

[@AlexBellissimo]

Yes I would like to do that in the future See how I go 👌

[@vince5081]

[@dcooper8779]

Hi ya Alex, Dean Cooper here. Good to see you're doing well and being able to do what you love doing. All kudos to you Alex. I remember when we were kids how keen you were to get a line wet around past the point. Take care and enjoy life Dean

Good ol pillie does it again! Nice one Al!!

[@AlexBellissimo]

Yeah pillies are great. Just kept it simple this time.

[@dragginmedown]

@@AlexBellissimo do you find pillies come off easy when fishing off rocks?

Cool episode Alex 😎 👌 👍

[@AlexBellissimo]

my apologies forn the late reply thanks very much for watching much appreciated 👍

[@joerefalo]

Exciting fishing, looks like you have to get at bigger reel for the big ones.

[@AlexBellissimo]

It was exciting fishing. And when I am specifically targeting larger kings I fish the right gear.

[@benjarvis1108]

Your rig is so good to 😮

[@AlexBellissimo]

thanks mate much appreciated

[@tiller_gorilla7220]

Nice trip Alex gd bag.luckily the swell behaved.unlucky on the monster. Ive once had that same scenario. Oh look a seal next minute spool empty and also broke at the leader.we know it wasnt the seal though it was too far to the left just as yours was.

[@AlexBellissimo]

That's right it was not the seal. Besides it would have surfaced , where this fish stayed deep and over a ledge about 150-200m out. Thanks for watching.

[@beldav97]

Nice catch Alex well done 👌👌👌👌

[@AlexBellissimo]

Thanks very much. Hope to be out again soon 👍

[@benjarvis1108]

Where did you catch your snapper because your a good fisherman 🎉❤

[@AlexBellissimo]

sorry mate confidental although as a fishing guide i will show you and much more techniques

[@benjarvis1108]

What a catch

[@AlexBellissimo]

just stoked for my PB on a plastic caught much larger on baits.

[@ronmb81]

Great catches Alex, what lb leader are you using for the snapper around the rocks?

[@AlexBellissimo]

Thanks mate Check out the description in the video. My settings is there.

[@wydensu820]

Great snapper session Alex. Had a monster on once too in really shallow water. Was using 30lb mono and prawn as bait. Did a close cast near the reef and off it goes, I had no chance to even stop it or turn its head. No clue what it was?

[@AlexBellissimo]

Thanks Wyden Just using 7kg setup. I suspect a sizeable king about 10kg. Thanks for watching.

[@Mark-ew5jm]

Alex, would it be worthwhile having a go with a bobby cork and pilchard bait? I ask this as I am a novice with rock fishing and not sure how to “manage” the bait like you do.

[@AlexBellissimo]

Hi Mark Yes you could do that but float fishing has its own pluses and minuses like a running ball sinker to the hook rig has. f you can book me for a rock fishing trip. I can show you how to do it right.

[@adriansamuel7512]

Hey mate just started to subscribe to your channel, awesome fishing

[@AlexBellissimo]

really appreciate yoy subscribing to my channel cheers mate 👍😄

[@australianmade8770]

Hey what bait are you using for snapper caught my first snapper today off the rocks and used tuna fillet would of loved to get one the size of yours mine was 34cm ❤ keep up with the videos you have some great tips considering I’m just getting into fishing and loving it

[@metinakpinar9724]

Hey Alex are you fishing in Sydney Harbour cliff base ?

[@AlexBellissimo]

hey there fishing the ocen rocks notnin the harbour. but occasionally reds like this are caught innthe harbour

[@metinakpinar9724]

@@AlexBellissimo Hi Alex An amazing fishing spot Must only fish here at low tide here at break of dawn. I know the spot very well. I will give it a try. What 12 ft Rod and reel combo are you using ?

[@AlexBellissimo]

@@metinakpinar9724 great have a good at it you should do well 👍 check out the description section for gear used on trip

[@benjarvis1108]

I am on my dads iPad and I always watch your videos

[@AlexBellissimo]

Thanks mate Really appreciate you watching my vids. Should be a new one real soon Cheers

[@badass.bob1]

Would like to know your opinion on overhead setups

[@AlexBellissimo]

Hi Dominic I do not use over heads. Sorry

[@MySprike]

Was wondering did you use the same rod for both bait and soft plastic?

[@AlexBellissimo]

Yes I did use the same rod for plastics and bait on this vid cheers please share my channel reappy appreciate it 😁

[@peterpumpkineater6939]

try catching a crab and splitting it in half and chuck it out on size 3 0 circle hook - surprising results

[@AlexBellissimo]

I catch and have caught hundreds of snapper on crab baits. Works well 👍

[@garysweeny-sy8ww]

Nice fish, what is the rod you used?

[@AlexBellissimo]

my apologies forn the late reply please check the description cheers

[@lukaas0073]

how much leader do you use ?

[@benjarvis1108]

Better than a platy

[@AlexBellissimo]

hahah yeah a bit better than a platy

[@hailevan8638]

Your fishing spot is so beautiful, why not use fake bait? or shore jig? and if you soak live bait, you have to use a stiffer rod, a bigger machine, a higher load capacity, a big pe line, a big rope, then you want to conquer big fish. Wish you soon success with your suggestion, and soon more great videos.

[@AlexBellissimo]

Hi Hai Thanks for your advice. But I am specificity fishing for snapper with 7kg setup. In this video snapper was my target specie. Generally when I specifically target kings I fish heavier gear for larger kings.

[@bfswdab]

Could of been a big ray maybe?

[@AlexBellissimo]

Very unlikely a big ray. Generally you can sense a signature tail beat therefore you can determine the specie you have hooked.

[@ronfrancois]

Why am I feeling sorry for you?

[@AlexBellissimo]

maybe because im silly 😉
