BIG STRIPED MARLIN FISHING

THE ULTIMATE DAY - After thousands of days spent fishing, this one stands out as one of the best ever. Twenty-one marlin, all over 200 pounds are caught; and to top it off the team have a bone-chillingly close encounter with a giant squid. Fisherman or not, you will agree - the action and footage is stunning!

I come back to this video atleast once a year 😂

[@tradernz2038]

Your like a fishing professor Matt, thanks for sharing your knowledge and experiences

[@dixonmudge7401]

the thought of that giant squid when you pulled that demolished frame up gave me chills

[@killanige]

There's truly sea monsters out there.

[@msbuilding2806]

The ocean is just unreal! Seeing big powerful fish like those marlin just get shredded by another creature is almost hard to imagine

[@markbennett8927]

Bitter sweet, such a magnificent beast.....

[@loganfelts9964]

That is some incredible footage of an amazing fish!

[@naota3k]

Oh my god the size of that thing's head! AND SOMETHING ATE THE REST

[@CoastfishTV]

That last fish would have to be around the 1200lb mark and slightly more.

[@bobwferguson]

Massive

[@jfishization]

The last Marlin fight reminded me of Old Man in the Sea....

[@marconius101]

i thought the same..;-)

[@313_LottoFN]

jim Fish tacos

[@Lilmickcrocodiledundee0001]

The size of whatever ate that last fish gives me nightmares..

[@fishingbrah5137]

that is amazing and this is the best fishing show

[@bobwferguson]

The shark’s got to be enormous

[@jcm5343]

Speechless! Wow!!

[@markb8467]

That marlin was 500kg+ all day long... 1100-1200 pounds surely the difference in bill sizes is crazy sad day for marlin fisherman... even as a shark fisherman that one hurts

[@Lilmickcrocodiledundee0001]

Had to be a monster to eat that!!!

[@patrickreddy9602]

Thats was lit ❤❤🤙

[@hollandhollywood329]

Wow @ that last marlin

[@madmullet1990]

Awesome!!!!! awesome footage thankyou good job

[@MontiHD]

15:00 Dedicated 🍻🍻🍻

[@xxxneoxxx]

Remember watching this at 18yrs old with the boys, we grew up on this and Japanese jigging vids on DVDs with writing we couldn't. Love ya work brother.

[@AlsAllAussieAdventures]

really awesome movie mate, well done!

[@ohsurooter]

And to think it used to be like that off San Diego and places South back in the Day!

[@bourgeoisiez764]

Commercial fishing needs to stop. New Zealand is slowly ending up the same way. It’s breaking my heart

[@lukekahu6503]

Mean career bro rewa hard Weymouth

[@thekiwibushmen9295]

brilliant fishing matt!!!!

[@mattlee7161]

Nice

[@PW.1993]

Can I be your paddawan learner? you have lived my dream life. thank you for sharing all these incredibly kickass videos. with utmost jealousy, - ptron

[@natpicking]

Excuse my ignorance but what does tagging do? What are they actually doing? Cheers!

[@JacksonBakerFishing]

Each tag has its own unique number and when you buy a tag it comes with a tag sheet with the same number as the tag. When you tag a fish you write down on the sheet when, where, how it was caught, estimated weight, anglers name, skippers name and a bunch of other details. You then send the tag sheet to somewhere and they put it into a massive database. If you catch a fish with a tag, you can look at the tag number and go into the database, enter the tag number, and see the details. You may even phone the person who caught it before. Hope this helped :)

[@natpicking]

Jackson Baker oh I see! Thanks mate, legend

[@davidkersey3901]

+Jackson Baker That's what we do-Measure, tag and release anything over estimated 200 lbs {striped marlin}

[@cheetoman6212]

Hi

[@brodieonthebox]

whats this music it goes so hard

[@Alex-gg8rt]

What how do you get your luers back??

[@jordythebassist]

They slide up the line so you can retrieve the lure and cut the line close to the fish

[@doubledogsportfishingteam5606]

What rod were you using for the giant black marlin?

[@austinwamack309]

Holy shit that's a big ass fish

[@peterwilliamson4296]

Do you know if its a sustainable practice or are they being over fished? What research do you rely on?

[@jordythebassist]

We provide serial number tagging data to marine biologists who then track the biomass size and movements to help ensure the future of the fishery. The billfish numbers in Australia have bounced back for sure, late 90s the numbers were bad.

[@jesuschrist9597]

@@jordythebassist it helps with feeding/mating habits too doesnt it? or is that just for sharks

[@jordythebassist]

@@jesuschrist9597 it may be a little harder to determine that, especially if the fish spends a large amount of time at liberty. The tags you're thinking of are SPOT and PSAT tags that have a digital transmitter and can relay real world information. The serial number tags are just that, a piece of plastic with a serial number that goes back to a database of information and while they aren't as complex, being relatively cheap to produce compared to the digital tags means the sheer number of serial tags deployed has been massive over the years and the recaptures of those fish previously tagged has provided huge amounts of information and insight.

[@chrisalexander5900]

The fish eating all of that marlin I would bet that It was the largest ever. One bite of all of that? Over a1000 pounds. Probably was a shark that is believed to be long extinct. Find all kinds of stuff in that massive ocean. CWA

[@jfishization]

very tough life 4 sure....

[@bourgeoisiez764]

Wow with a tank range of over 10,000km it. could go from Auckland to California coast damnnnn. Nz gas prices lol that’s 60k a full tank. Who’s paying that lol I would pay to work on that boat

[@lukawilliams4822]

Imagine the fuel bill

[@johnechterhoff4791]

Does that boat run diesels?

[@bourgeoisiez764]

Definitely

[@theblakegallery.8288]

Rip big fish

[@bulldog3455]

I'd like to see the shark that ate that marlin!

[@Agislife1960]

Are their different species of striped marlin's I have seen pictures of Striped marlins that have pronounced tiger type stripes on the sides, and others don't have any stripes at all.

[@sodeloutdoors8047]

There's striped Marlin, black Marlin, blue marlin, and white Marlin 1 species of striped

[@thatfishingfella4672]

Tanner Virden I've never heard of White Marlin

[@hollandhollywood329]

and grey too

[@bourgeoisiez764]

Pretty sure there’s only one type of stripped marlin.

[@larshonore8054]

Any one knows the boat brand and where to get in touch with captain?

[@UltimateFishingTV]

Hey mate, it's the Ultimate Lady, Capt. Tom Francis

[@NZFarmboy80]

no brand custom built one off design

[@deesabird6799]

A squid would do that!?!?!?

[@jordythebassist]

Yeah they don't chomp through bone like a shark does, so they strip all the meat off the body like the fish has been filleted.

[@AltheaMark]

Too greedy on the big black marlin...

[@Antz94]

my guess to the big marlin would be between 1100 and 1200 pounds.

[@buddyparrot1]

+Anthony Johnson Bigger, 1500, maybe even more!

[@mtbbros8166]

Anthony Johnson I

[@ethanhuston126]

More like 1700

[@jordythebassist]

I'd love to see the bill from that fish next to the bill from the 649kg fish caught a couple years ago off Hervey Bay. I reckon it's probably still considerably bigger than the 649kg fish.

[@taniaaltamiranocastellanos5424]

I like yo be the there😀

[@normanmiller3978]

By missing the gaff you'll wasted a giant marlin, when you get the chance to land it you cant blow it

[@mirin3181]

Obviously

[@matthewslatter8791]

I'd rather fish in kawakwa harbor

[@NZFarmboy80]

Hahaha

[@naturesounds8456]

That's huge Marlin and what a waste..

[@jacksonbaker3644]

Why is it a waste?

[@TheGreatOutdoorsNZ]

I bet the shark has a different opinion.

[@ousterz1107]

Shit!!!

[@naturalmystics-kd9vt]

Why arras those fish just for fun some end up with hoop in their eyes and brain men no longer have brain to do what is right

[@ryanconlow6885]

1 its for research 2 erase and hooked
