So GREAT to be able to relive these memories through your video!! Once again, my family and I had the BEST time with you and Jocelyn, in a place that I've always dreamt of visiting. So many wonderful memories, food, and endless laughs. Until next time!!

[@rl44237]

Halfway thru the vid, was thinking is that the guy that inks the fish and turns out, that is you. Cool you’re in NZ

[@Live_TheDutch]

Looked so nice u fishing with ure daughter having that big of an experience !!!!!!! and a nice fish trip

[@giavuhoang5802]

would love to know more about the fish prints you made. like how the process is. what ink to use. what paper to use. its a butifull art. and would love to be able to do it to the few salmon im able to catch.

[@losiac5781]

Hi! Where in New Zealand was this fishing spot?

[@MrAcuta73]

Dwight's work is so amazingly beautiful! That kingy looks incredible! My son is living in Korea and got offshore for Yellowtail a couple months ago and got 2 15-20lb fish. Said he lost a much bigger one, but never trust a fisherman's tale. 😂

Kimchi is simple to make, the key ingredient I see a lot of novices/westerners miss is fish/anchovy sauce.

The blue fish that was eating the chum is called a Blue Maomao, they're excellent eating fish if you eat them whole. Flour the whole fish and fry off in butter :) oh and they also don't get much bigger than the one dwight caught, his fish was a good size! Try them out next time you catch them :)

[@oogabooga9044]

so exciting Taku!! so happy for you.

[@Zachary9x_]

Beat outro yet 🐐 your truly the goat at cooking

[@mitchelldenysschen3224]

Speaking from experience (epic fail on my part) first remove the stickbait before measuring. Fish flicks their head once while your hand is close and you have a nice treble through the hand😅.

[@Lockdown22]

hey taku, so here in texas, primarily the snapper, we have whats called pinfish, they are the vultures of the gulf, they will bite whatever you throw down before any of the snappers do. if you can get your hands on small live bait, maybe like 4-5 inches, and toss it down there, you may get more snappers like Dwight caught in the video. chumming helps get whatever small bait stealers you got there away from your main bait. i think my favorite video from this year from you was the GT's. it was intense ! hope you go out there and finally get one again.

[@alexischucky1617]

that hook up was insane !!!

The blue fish are Maomao they are actually very good eating that size fried whole and eaten off the bone. That's the perfect Keeper Kingi I don't like to kill the big ones, 75cm to 1m though are fair game IMO . The Kimchi looks amazing welcome back to NZ

[@gretch78]

That was freaking awsome, I was yelling at home when you hooked up!!!!

Welcome back 😊hope you all catch the big ones 😊go team Taku🎉

[@lesmansom7817]

So good that the young lass got a good fish👍👌

[@rustyjenkins6997]

The Blue Maomao is one of the best eating fish in NZ. Would rate it above Snapper by a long way. Fishing my back yard playground here.

[@OutdoorChefLife]

Really?! Gotta try it next time

[@laskinov]

Thinking the same as well, it's great raw, Polynesian style, but it has to be next level shushimi style...😂

[@rustyjenkins6997]

Has a high fat content and good yield for size also. Great fun to catch and can be easy once they turn up@@OutdoorChefLife

[@paulhiakita251]

Kia ora Taku and Jocelyn. Tena kato katoa that means welcome, back to the land of the long white cloud. Great to see you both back here. Congratulations on catching the kingi off the rocks, powerful fish. The biggest lve caught was 42kgs and what a fight that was. Also great to see you all catching some good snapper. I'm really glad to see your releasing what you can't eat. Every one had so much fun. The technique of printing of the fish is beautiful. Oh and buy the way, the kai looked delicious. Kim chi is such a flavoursome and healthy food to eat. Awesome content.

[@OutdoorChefLife]

Kia ora bro, thank you! 42kgs is a huge kingi. I'd be happy with even half that!!

[@paulhiakita251]

Yes I was absolutely stuffed after that. Like when you were when you caught that big snapper ,i to was so satisfied I didn't need to fish anymore that day. So I had a beer and supported my mates for the rest of the day.

[@waderogers6269]

HI Taku - great video. I am in the UK at the moment, but heading to New Zealand in March with my boy to do as much fishing as possible. Where was this spot, as it looks safe enough to take my lad to do a bit of kingi fishing. Keep up the great work, and I look forward to your next vids. Many thanks!
