AWESOME SAILING & A FREAKIN' FISHIN' FRENZY! | EPISODE 275

[@Pasovineyard]

After the grounding of Breaking Waves, the Polynesians saved them in a storm. Then they put them up in their own room and fed them and delt with an injured ankle. Then they got the boat off the reef and continued to support Ben and Alie. The Polynesian culture is one of the best on this planet. The best!!!

[@WEsail]

For. Sure!!! Amazing people!!

[@jasonpacific5661]

One of the best channels on KZbin! Feels like we are on board too. We love you guys just like Delos family does ⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@WEsail]

Whoa that’s amazing, thanks for such a kind comment!! CHEERS

[@anapacha85]

love you guys to much... this episode was fun, exciting and energetic. a day of fishing for sure.. hope you guys hade a nice full moon that night.

[@WEsail]

Haha yep 😉

[@davel9130]

Congrats you guys. Thanks for having us along.

[@DYoung-vt8pq]

🎁🥂🍾Happy Belated Anniversary! Erica, don't let anyone swash your enthusiasm for fishing. Yell if you want to! Safe travels. ❤

[@jeffmorris179]

That was a sailfish you guys caught. Good job on releasing, but they are really good eating

[@leehoffman3604]

And I quote Erica, "Holly Fu _ _ _ _ Sh _ _!" That was a nice sailfish, and yes, let them go. I'm sorry you didn't catch your Tuna. You may need some steel leader for whatever is biting off your lures. What a hoot. It could have been WaHoo. But the schooling looked like Tuna. Good luck on your next fish rampage. It was great to watch.

[@WEsail]

Haha THANK YOU!! Amazing message, thanks for watching and commenting!

[@leehoffman3604]

@@WEsail I've been watching you guys for years and seldom comment, but that was just too funny and exciting to ignore. You work so hard on your videos to make us smile, so I figured I needed to think about my comment to hopefully make you smile. By the way, I was serious about the steel leader. You never know what you will hook in that beautiful part of the world. Keep having fun!

[@MrFroglips69]

Always a groovy episode with you two. Some pretty wild fishing. Thanks for your catch and release. Oh' baby, it's a full moon.

[@WEsail]

Haha yea buddy!! And our anniversary 😉

[@b.crawford376]

Good choice releasing the marlin. Marlin are just above Bonita for eating. I like the thought you both have about taking fish. Take what you need and let the rest go.

[@colinboniface194]

That magnificent fish put up a huge fight... Good decision to let it go to fight another day... Really good sailing...

[@WEsail]

Sweet, thanks for that!!!

[@TammyBillings-qt1ve]

I enjoy how you show the actual marriage parts, I laughed out loud, my husband and I do that on the boat too. Good to know we are not the only ones who get excited and so on. Fantastic episode.

[@WEsail]

Haha nope, not the only ones by far lol! Cheers, thanks for watching and commenting!

[@thrive.offgrid]

Dan and I both were laughing with you both during this one! I felt the DROP THE SAILLL.

[@WEsail]

Haha yep, it can get wild lol

[@RNVOS]

Right on you two! ❤ from 🇨🇦 BC

[@gregvaughn4286]

Thanks Warren and Erica that was exciting!

[@markpearce911]

Yes! More fishing...! Catch and release the big M...all good - great job u guys!

[@WEsail]

Hey thank you!!! Seriously

[@DanielTiffany-o8i]

Fabulous as always! 😲

[@nicolasSud13]

I love your videos! Thank you for sharing your sailing voyages and helping us discover extraordinary places (and now lesser-known islands) and people. We vibrate with you and your rays of sunshine bring us great joy! Thank you

[@WEsail]

Wow - our please and more importantly- THANK YOU!!

[@wellDunn1]

LOVE! ❤️

[@amccann99]

Great video you two. Keeping my dreams alive. Beautiful sailfish. Caught a few that big in Costa Rica years ago. Awesome.

[@WEsail]

Yo bro!!! Man good to hear from ya! Thanks for always being so good to us!!

[@ae7v]

Boy Erika is a screamer!😂😂 fun episode and thanks for still putting it out this week.

[@WEsail]

Only on full moons and our anniversary 😉

[@johnmiddleton6252]

A really awesome video as always. I appreciate the huge effort you too put into each and every episode. Thank you for sharing your epic journey.

[@WEsail]

Wow thank you, great message to wake up to!! Cheers

[@rdholmes2007]

Love you guys❤

[@richardbecker5614]

Great video and Happy Anniversary

[@WEsail]

Thank you so much 😀

[@numberoneduchess]

Great video. Thanks for sharing.

[@chrisnielsen4241]

good job

[@msk4mehmet]

Congrats you to leaving the swordfish. Thanks for the release.

[@WEsail]

Thank you too!

[@rosiegreddogyachts4135]

copperCoat...yeah!!! Just scrubbed ours in FP after eight months, 4000 nm. No barnacles of any problem level, some goosenecks where the sun hit, and a half inch carpet of soft green scattered. A power washer in a yard would blow it clean. Used a softer plastic scraper and some heavy stainless steel scrubber and you could get shiny copper to come up with little effort. We are at almost four years now. That paint is so hard, the scraper just slides and cuts clean, like in your vid. I loved Tonga. Eua is a special place but only can be reached by ferry. Some crazy caves, wild parrots, and very wonderful people. You leave the boat in Nukualofa and take the ferry. No harbor, no anchorage.

[@mikelynes8319]

Great episode

[@reginaldarty8192]

Love watching your videos, keep the good work 👏

[@lindanewton6057]

I've missed you. Such an excellent video! Beautiful day of sailing 🎉

[@WEsail]

Welcome back! Thanks so much for!!

[@rickkwitkoski1976]

Thank you!

[@buck_bacon]

Nice fish you let go. Good on ya. Was really pulling for you to land a tuna, but it'll have to wait for another day. Great to have you guys back!

[@WEsail]

Hey awesome, thanks very much for that!!

[@danielwalden8725]

DROP THE SAIL 🤣🤠

[@OurCabinInThewoods]

Holly shinkies, that was a nice fish. Great sail. I love this channel. You two are living my dreams. Thanks for sharing this every week.

[@WEsail]

Wow, well let us thank YOU!! Very much appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment!!

[@Ninoy2059]

That was very nice of you to release that sailfish. They are considered endangered specious and they are sport fish.

[@WEsail]

Ya we always do try to do that, we once kept a marlin and felt bad about it ever since! Not 100% sure that they are endangered, but worth turning back none the less

[@jamielyons7054]

I love watching y'all fish 🦈🦞🐠🦑🐚 the energy is so beautiful, you are amazing to one another ❤❤ God bless

[@WEsail]

Awesome thank you!!

[@brucerhodes8197]

Sailfish, said to be the fastest fish in the ocean and can swim like 70mph, it's no wonder it was taking all your line! Spends most of it's time near the surface but can dive to over 1,000 ft to find food. Glad no one was hurt, that guy had a knife and was trying to use it on Warren.. lol

[@LaRussell-hd6ry]

😮 a trip that was

[@robbnutter4665]

Glad you're back!!

[@tamiann542]

Nice!

[@miketelfer3024]

Happy Anniversary guy's 🍾🥂, what a way to spend it

[@robertlemoine3500]

Thankyou 😊

[@WEsail]

You’re welcome 😊

[@seaward206]

The yelling isn’t “directed at you all the time”. But sometimes it is :) Keep up the great work and honest videos!

[@WEsail]

Hahaha just sometimes;)

[@dougmarder]

I do not know what has taken me so long to subscribe to your channel. Hope to see you on the water one day!

[@garyhay695]

Nice Sailfish not a Marlin and he went back fine, there are a whole lot more sailfish around and they are good eating, but good to catch and release

[@WEsail]

Awesome thank you for that! And thanks for watching and commenting!

[@patrickjames9165]

I LOVE PURPLE!

[@WEsail]

Purple hats and purple pants! Hahah

[@lindamedders6700]

What a great day. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY.

[@MitchellTuckness]

I'd suggest having your drag checked. Lines snapping at that location is usually because there is too much drag, which causes the line to dig into the ridge where their teeth are, severing the line. So I would either check your drag, have the reel serviced, or increase the poundage of the line to try and compensate for a heavier drag.

[@WEsail]

Thanks for the tip! I think with these bigger fish we are going to let the line run a little bit more with less drag while we spend the first couple moments concentrating on slowing the boat down… that’s the plan anyways

[@KIRALYW]

Most folks can only dream of landing a marlin. My hubby went fishing & caught one only to have a bronze whaler shark jump out & eat it right by the boat. Was the highlight of their fishing trip.

[@WEsail]

Oh DANG!! That is awesome! Well cheers, thanks for watching and commenting!

[@ChrisBrown-zq7ze]

So you DO yell at each other. I KNEW it. What an awesome episode. I want to hit Annapolis some time so I can meet you. Still regret missing you in bora bora. ❤️❤️

[@WEsail]

Haha yep it definitely happens, just not usually while recording so when it does we are fine showing it… most of the time 😉

[@stevenjohnson528]

Love the channel guys and thanks for all the great content... You really need to get some wire leaders so less fish can chew though it

[@WEsail]

For sure, totally agree!! And thanks for watching and commenting!!

[@Roskellan]

Fun with flags, a Sheldon Cooper moment ?🙂

[@WEsail]

Omg YEASSSSS!! My favorite show of all time!!

[@josepmassot4696]

Os sigo desde que navegabais por el mar de Cortés y ciertamente tenéis muchas habilidades pero la pesca........

[@reubenlankshear1114]

Awesome episode! That sailfish was was a beauty, I notice most cruisers on these u tube channels dont keep marlin or billfish. Its alot of meat for 2 people right.. Look forward to seeing you in New Zealand.

[@WEsail]

Ya awesome, thanks for that comment! Yep most people don’t keep them, I think simply because of their lower total numbers and also gotta be partly because of their beauty

[@xiniatiti]

Parece que el morado no es el color de la suerte 🥰🥰❤😁😁

[@paultabone2010]

💜💜💜💜🐋🐳🐬🐟🐟🎣 nice fish

[@slaythespider5173]

Great video... sometime in the future, when looking for a theme for your video, I'd appreciate an in-depth discussion of the fishing gear, lines, and lures that you are using.

[@WEsail]

Oh!! Okay sounds good, NOTED!! Thanks for the idea!!

[@seafuryphil]

My wife called it after you landed the sailfish . She said they better change that leader or they will lose the next fish . What a bummer . But also, what a great episode 🍻⛵️🌊

[@WEsail]

Yep those who don’t learn from their mistakes…. Just a little short on wire leader 😬

[@DanielTiffany-o8i]

I start missing you at the end of every video. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@WEsail]

Awwwwww, thank you for that!! So sweet!

[@dallashands1168]

Love your videos, thanks for sharing. Your fishing, when using good tackle use stainless steel traces to avoid loosing expensive lures (especially in the Pacific). I good idea for yachts is to use a bungee cord system tied to the back cleats of your boat instead of fishing rods for mahi-mahi and albacore, because it puts the fish on top of the water and you can pull it in by hand without stopping the boat, about 10 metres long. Google it or let me know and I can send you a set up. Cheers Dallas and Charmaine from NZ

[@WEsail]

Hi hi you two!! Thanks for the message, and let’s stay in touch because we will do a meetup in NZ in just a few weeks when we arrive!! Also thanks very much for the fishing tips, we have been interested in “hand lining” for quite some time now and just really haven’t pulled the trigger, very interested in more information though!! Cheers

[@danielboughton3624]

I can't imagine how anyone can think yelling will increase the focus or speed that something happens. Last time I was on the receiving end of that I was clear - you can either divide my attention or let me focus on fixing the problem. Fortunately for all involved space was given, focus was achieved, and disaster was averted.

[@WEsail]

Beautifully said, I love it!! Thanks for watching and commenting! Thanks!!

[@The71Percent]

Must be taking notes from LaVaagabond this week on the thumbnail…. Sorry Warren I had to say it lol. Ok now I’ll go watch the episode. Big hugs.

[@The71Percent]

PS glad you are back safe from all your travels! 🎉❤

[@cindycornog8006]

❤❤

[@toddstubbs8236]

slow the boat down. n real baby real.😊

[@greglawson235]

Holy fucking shit! Haha I love it!!

[@jamesnguyen9033]

Just want to send some beers to you two. Safe sailing and fair wind. Don’t lose your shit. 😅

[@WEsail]

Whoa James thanks bud!!! So so appreciated!! CHEERS from Tonga

[@tomcraddock244]

You have 2 motors.you can back up on the fish !! You two need to come up with a plan on what you’re going to do when you catch a fish. Fair winds ⛵️

[@WEsail]

Totally agree! It does seem like every time is different, but you are still 100% correct!

[@jeffbroome5192]

Erica!!! "Holy fuckin' shit!!!!!"? You usually put up such a good front but you showed your true colors when you had that fish on~ 🤣

[@WEsail]

Haha RIGHT!? You all think she’s so cool but NOOOOO LOL!

[@jeffbroome5192]

@ Sne is VERY cool! She’s just got a longshoreman mouth on her🤣

[@dennispatrick4999]

It's not fair to compare your Cat to The Tri-maran of LaVagabond. Which is a racing Tri-Maran. Now Riley is dreaming of a 90' Tri-Maran. Insane. It's wrapped up in Chinese Ownership and would be nuts for him to put 2 small children on it without any creature comforts. They don't have space for the number of adults as it is... Fun video of fishing chaos.

[@WEsail]

Hey thanks for that, really appreciate it!

[@shatho9137]

Drop the sail!!! There’s 50 thousand feet of line out

[@WEsail]

Haha RIGHT!??

[@whitiangler9370]

That's a Sailfish not a Marlin but still, what a buzz! Let me know when your in NZ, come fishing with us!

[@WEsail]

Oh FOR SURE!! We would love to!! Please stay in touch with us!! Email is even better

[@whitiangler9370]

We will email you guys 😊

[@janwolfaardtjansen5231]

👍👍

[@markshiel3673]

WOW! Great video thank you both :) Just out of interest how long did it take to real in the Marlin?

[@WEsail]

Thank you! Probably about 20-25 minutes from the moment it hit the line.

[@geoffstrebel2808]

@7:30 So did Erica dance on the Ladies table or not? Define "best". ;)

[@barbaram2196]

Hi guys. I enjoy your videos a lot. I have a question related to visas. Normally the max time one can stay in a country as a tourist is 3 months. You’ve mentioned you will stay here 4 months. What are the visas you normally apply for?

[@WEsail]

Hey thanks for watching and good question- the thing is that we have found is that every country is different on their own visas: some offer three months, some four or six, Mexico is a year and then a few others don’t require any at all… so we just kind of handle that when we arrive, whatever they ask for and require is what we do! Cheers

[@HopeOfJoe]

OMG 😱, what a beautiful day of sailing‼️✨🌊💨💨⛵️🏝️👙🌞✨ Some great fishing, a local meal and a most lovely black and brown (tan) striped robe topped it off. See you both next time. 🙌🏻🙌🏻💥

[@WEsail]

Hey hey!! Yep exciting times lol

[@SaltyQuokka]

🤙🏻

[@jackechan1311]

Keep cruising those waters and you can start a side-hustle as a bikini fishing channel. Don`t ask me how I know such a thing.

[@WEsail]

Haha deal!!

[@dalenelewis9110]

You guys need heavy duty or metal leaders.

[@WEsail]

I think that’s what we are gravitating towards!!

[@ringocody4669]

Did you get to see the Jack and Kate from Sailing Zatara? They were there for the summer

[@WEsail]

We sure did!! Absolutely great kids, and not just saying that

[@ringocody4669]

@ such a tragedy they went through. Glad they are ok and glad you 2 are back.

[@rgronback]

Don’t say it again! Please! 😂

[@WEsail]

Haha yep, four times is enough lol

[@thomasthornton5737]

😀😀👍👍👍❤❤

[@bennyb1669]

I think that was A Sailfish. Not a Marlin

[@WEsail]

Yep, you’re 100% correct!

[@barryreid8877]

Comment LOL to help you

[@WEsail]

Always helpful! Thank you

[@TammyBillings-qt1ve]

Hi Erica, I love you tatto on your back it is a spiral shape. What does it represent and a name. I really like it on your back.

[@Paul-kz3by]

You need better line

[@WEsail]

Ordered 😉

[@ifish5409]

Boo, no USA flag…🇺🇸

[@WEsail]

Nope, but we got a Colorado flag 👍

[@craighill1882]

I hate to be so negative but you'd think after all these years on the ocean, you folks would have a clue about how to troll for fish. That exhibition was truly pathetic. Setting the drag should be an automatic reflex; no real thought required. Dropping the sails is far more important than trying to film a cf. I love your channel but sometimes wonder how you've made it this far and pray you'll make it all the way around the globe safely.

[@WEsail]

Haha yep, hence the tile 😉 we are still working out the bugs on a few things

[@Baylessfishes]

Sailfish not a marlin.

[@WEsail]

Totally, good catch!! Just get caught up and say the first thing that comes to mind LOL

[@tropicalsailor2908]

Sailfish taste terrible, definitely no reason to keep.

[@kimberlytravis6827]

Why all the F bombs. Please don’t do that. My grandkids watch with me sometimes and I will have to stop watching.

[@williamg1721]

You are not going to catch fish with the boat moving that fast. Need to stop sailing.

[@WEsail]

Totally agree, I think we hesitate because we often catch smaller fish which definitely don’t need the sails dropped (which is a bit of work, especially to put back up!) but we have made a decision to change the way we do things a little (mostly being ready to drop sail) and see if we can loose less gear LOL

[@williamg1721]

​@WEsail dont tighten up on the drag until the boat stops. On big fish, you might need to reverse down towards the fish.
