*BIO*
Welcome to The Lateral Line, an online fishing show presented by Milan Radonich and Nathan O’Hearn, 2 best mates better described as brothers. They both have a genuine love and respect for everything New Zealand's outdoors has to offer and have been fishing together for over 15 years!
The Lateral Line is all about being out in the wide open spaces with good mates, for days at a time, soaking in New Zealand’s beautiful scenery, laughing out loud, and having as much fun as possible while trying to catch something to cook and eat. Throw in a few big Yellowtail Kingfish and the odd big Snapper and the boys are living their best lives.
Subscribe to the channel for bi-monthly (15th and 30th) fishing adventure, full of good food, and stunning landscapes with a couple of good mates having lots of laughs while fishing.

[@DominickReale]

When I hit 50 years of age, I decided to make and keep a fishing trip gear list on a 3x5 card. I look at it before I leave home for a fishing trip. It has many times saved my butt from trip disasters; where I got way out there and realized I had forgotten to bring some crucial thing.

[@TheLateralLine]

Milan definitely needs a list! only when he forgets stuff it doesn’t bother him at all so he isn’t fixing what isn’t broken 🤪😂😜😁 chur chur

[@Robert.Walker1B]

Milan, you could get you a drill and an old braid roll to de-spool your reel to save time and used braid for less waste 😅 Just a suggestion haha Chur Chur TLL Brother’s. Mean 👏

[@TheLateralLine]

We have sooooo many spools of uesd braid it’s not funny 🤪😂 can’t use any more old braid then we already do. Milan forgets to pack things like frying pans and bait knifes so I’m guessing getting Milan to pack a drill to strip braid off a reel is a big ask 😂😜🤪 chur chur for watching and commenting 😁

That monster fish would have feed a family of 6 for two days. Different mindset. Cool video guys thank you

[@TheLateralLine]

We love eating fresh fish yes! 😁 but , we don’t like taking big kings when we can’t do the fish justice and by that I mean…… we were gonna be camping there for 2 days and we did not have enough chilli bin space for a fish of that size and to be fair I want to process a fish like that and have any meat that wasn’t gonna get consumed in the days following the capture in the freezer on the same day it was caught. The day following that show I catch a good king and that one was hooked in the gills and we do take it home because we could get it on ice immediately and get it home and in the freezer on the same day it was caught 😎 chur chur for watching and commenting 😁

[@agelualofa]

@@TheLateralLine thank you guys good fun and loved the video actually love and enjoyed all of your fishing videos. Hopefully meet up when I’m in NZ December 2024. I’ve never fished in NZ and always wanted to. Beautiful place you have in NZ god bless and see you on the next video

[@user-rr5ce1wb2j]

Chur in NZ can mean thanks, sweet as, awesome and has been around since the 1960's. Its slang so not official NZ language. What does it mean in Hungary?

[@TheLateralLine]

That comment somes up the Kiwi “chur chur” perfectly 😎 and yes please, what the meaning in Hungary?

[@brucebruce7168]

It means goodbye and probably a corruption of the Italian ciao, it is interesting to hear it in NZ too. I love your channel 🥰 TLL and always watch it Chur Chur boys, keep it up.
