[@rodashford1151]

Best hit ever was i had a whole pilly on a float line wound up while we moved but when we stopped the pilly was about 6 inches in the water next to the motor and a 14kg spanish ate him, my first thought was it went in the prop but the line tearing across the surface showed how wrong we were, very lucky to get him

[@18RZZ]

Love watching your vids mate. Hopefully one day ill see ya on the water and share a beer.

[@ynots0625]

Dunno champ you haven’t battled a 12cm garfish on a Kmart telescopic 7” combo with twine on the spool for 10 minutes on a 6 meter high pier in gale force winds... Or a pinkie on a blue tackleratz combo on the surf... Get them into ya then we can chat mate 😂

[@Aaronborough]

Sammy our hats rocked up yesterday and I dropped my mates of to him as his lad and he loved it! Thanks again for signing them. He i currently watching your show with his hat on 🤣

[@mitchmacferren458]

Most epic strike I have ever seen wasn't me but my dad next to me when I was a little guy. He was fishing an old school plastic worm on a Carolina rig at lake Oroville in Norcal. He had just finished his retrieve and was laying some knowledge on me but wile his worm was dangling about 6 inches above the water and about 6 feet from his feet a large mouth bass jumped out of the water and took the worm. It wasn't a monster by any means but I have never seen anything like it. Another one that was mine involved a catfish pulling my brand new rod in the water and about an hour later I snagged my rod back. The fish was gone but I got my rod back and ill take thay any day. Love the content bro, cheers.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Hahah both cracking stories mate! Thanks for sharing 🍻🍻🍻

[@cathyness7607]

MOST EXCITING FISHING OF MY LIFE! HAD MY DAUGHTER 18 HOURS LATER AFTER 16 HOURS AT HOSPITAL ! LOL TY SAMMY & ALL YOU GO A FISHING WITH ! LOVE YOUR VID'S !! < PRAYERS

[@brycewilliams9778]

Most epic strike would have to have been balloon fishing of the cliffs in Shark Bay WA. After 8 days it was our last chance to catch before packing up and driving the 12 hours home. We decided the night before that we would fish for an hour or 2 just after dawn. I had a storm gardie with a pink skirt to go out and with a gentle wind at my back I let my bait off the 15m cliff face. I had already released my balloon and 100m of line to pull my bait clear the waves below. As my bait was dragged past the back of the white wash from the waves BANG!!. A 26kg Spanish monstered my bait jumping 4-5m out of the water. It was an electric feeling!! I was lost for words but was screaming for someone to man the cliff gaff as I worked it around to the gaffing spot. All done in 10 minutes and what makes it more special is that I was able to get it past the sharks. A morning I'll never forget. Love the channel keep it up. 👌

[@Fishyfans123]

G'day Sammy, mate I was out in the swan River with my son , we were dragging a few lures about and he landed a 44 cm talier, now it doesn't sound massive but my little fella is only 6 years old....it was a good strike it jumped out of the water doing some acrobatics and the little fella was stoked . Love you're content as well mate

[@cathyness7607]

AWWWW.... : }

[@dougs_urbanfarm]

Nice workout! Most memorable strike for me as a kid in the 80's out at flat rock. Lifting a lure out of the water and a 20kg spanish took it in the air, don't remember heaps from my childhood but I remember that, and my old man yelling at me not to let go of the rod.

[@davewatson3398]

You’re a gamer Sammy; small boat, blowing wind and bouncing seas. Watching Whitey bounce around trying to land the mackie looked painful. Great GT eat, what fun to watch it from the front row. Great video from a legend, well done! 👍

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Cheers mate! Thanks for watching. And yeah was a bit sporting out there 🤣🤣🍻🍻

[@staunchpirateproductions3919]

That's an awesome take, watching that reminds me why I love GT's so much they're such a cool fish. Another great vid mate.

[@manr.9106]

Thank you for making some of the best fishing content on the web!!!

[@dwayne1655]

Most memorable hit for me was back a few moons when I was 12, we were getting short of bait and slowing packing up to leave when I caught a live prawn by hand and offered it to my dad, he said you caught you use it and showed me how to rig a love prawn, it hit the water and was in for maybe 30 seconds before I got a hit and hooked up, it was an average hit that had me connected to a small bream around 20cm but its life was about to come to an abrupt end 1 meter from the shore as the biggest flatty I had ever seen had it for lunch. The line started screaming and my excitement was off the charts, but dad thought I had loosened the drag and told me to stop making about, that was until he saw it, a good 5 to 10 minutes later we dragged it up the shore only for it to spike my dad snap my line and bounce from dads hands back into the water. Dad is still apologetic today 26 years on as we estimate it to be between 1 and 1.2m.

[@louistyrrell4876]

Your video came just in time to spice up my day spent in the hospital. Cheers sammy🍻👍🏽👌🏼

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

What are you doing in hospital mate! That’s no good at all!

[@louistyrrell4876]

True that mate, I don't like hospitals at all. Only this time I don't mind being here as I'm with my first born child baby boy Andre. The wife gave birth yesterday. Should be heading home soon.😁

[@dannyzerafa9154]

@@louistyrrell4876 congratulations 🥳

[@louistyrrell4876]

@ Danny zerafa thanks mate👍🏼

[@mitchmacferren458]

Congrats man. You just brought another fisherman and conservationist into the world!

[@jasonhollier2962]

great vid sammy hope to get out there myself one day . bit different but my favourite strikes are when im offshore jigging and watching the sounder and you see a fish rising up off bottom and say get ready boys and someone hooks up . cant believe how good the sounders are nowadays . such a thrill to watch it about to happen . i look like a genius too . cheers

[@malachivandijk3409]

another awesome video, can't wait for your next one every week

[@King_fisho_nz]

Looking forward to you jumping across the ditch to slay some giant snapper and chase some big kings 🤙🏼🤙🏼 banger vid dude, perfect to crack a brew and kick back 🍻🍻

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Yeah bloody oath. Keen to get over there at some stage and have a crack! Thanks for watching mate 🍻🍻

[@lesstalkmorefishing1000]

Best strike was a 12 kg pacu biting a friend's micro lure. We were piranha fishing with UL rods on a lake and I saw that monster coming out and taking that tiny lure. We were fishing from the same kayak so I was paddling for him while he fought that beast on his 4 lbs spinning rod LOL. The fish was ready to be lifted but gave a last shake before and came off the hook. Will never forget that

[@Enrikay100]

top notch mate, my best strike was a tuna on a metal slug, it chased the lure to the boat, their speed is just unreal and i could see the whole thing 10cm below the surface

[@Mattchu4207]

March last year, drove 10 mins down ocean beach at Bribie island, bait balls pushed up against shore for miles. First cast and 30 mins later landed a 103cm Long tail. Nothing topping that unicorn anytime soon 🤙🏽 sick vids, keep up the good work Sammy 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽

[@lazerlures6883]

Another sensational video Sammy.

[@edgarzacarias9346]

Great action as usual guys.

[@Hucklongfin]

I watched a Wahoo take my bomb 6’ from the boat! Very cool!

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Yeah that would have been pretty epic! 👌👌🍻🍻

[@offthescalefishing1380]

Fished tender number 3 this last week, can confirm it caught all the fish 😆

[@Flog36]

G'day Sammy, would love if you could make a video showing us how to locate fishing spots. Cheers mate

[@jaysonbeaton8973]

My best strike was a Barra I paused on the wind in and as the lure floating up the Barra sat under the lure I gave it a twitch and it struck it was so awesome to see right beside the boat in clear water

[@alimitchell5346]

Excellent again 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿!!

[@pyra6517]

Gettin then again on ya Sammy 🍻

Big Spanish on top water stickie on Tuesday 💜 go the girls 😁

[@91harryd]

Great vid Sammy! Do you have any idea what jigging rod Nick was using?

[@prabathperera5471]

Wooow beautiful GT

[@meatmissile416]

I was standing on a reef about 50 yards off shore and I just cast a nomad floating stick bait and I saw 2 large bluefin trevally swim up to about 7 feet in front of me so I reeled in my lure as fast as possible and I got it to about 4 feet in front of me and gave it a few twitches and one of the blue fins turned about 90 degrees and absolutely blew it up right there in front of me and screamed my reel it ended up being 12 pounds, great fight and a hit I’ll never forget.

[@johnarrones5396]

Love the videos guys. Can I ask, what is the best popper and lure to catch a Kingfish? Thank you.

[@smee103]

Hi Mate just wondering what sort of knots you use when your tying 100-130 leader cheers

[@kmac.jimmy123]

My most epic strike was the first fish I caught on a soft plastic...just a little bream, but it was awesome 🎣🤘

[@aceganter4478]

Throwing floating pilchards off Stockton breakwall and watching three or four big tailor race each other to eat the bait cast after cast nothing better than fishing and seeing the bite👍👍😊😏😊👍

[@BunyipFishing]

One of the best iv had was winding my jig up to move spots about 30 40 mtrs from the bottom got smacked originally thought probably a Mackie turns out a big rankin cod swam all the way up to hit the Jig best part was got it all on go pro!

[@samistheman69]

Great vid. How good is whitey!

[@convoysfishingadventuresjc4975]

Yeah the Sammy looks like a cracking video as all ways

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Cheers mate! Hope you like it 🍻🍻

[@Antipodean33]

'GT's they're savages, they'll eat anything"

[@peterb3473]

Best take casting a flashy profile down across the shoals in Exmouth gulf and hooked a bar cheeked coral trout PS do a video on how to use you release tool, confuses most peeps which curve to put on the lure.

[@mohammedseiamm1050]

hello brother. my name is mohammed. and my best strike was 9.5 kilos queen fish. it was a cold winter day around 5am the sun barely started to shine and i was beach fishing using a popper. and out of nowhere came that huge queen fish. what was exiting is the fact that it came from underneath the popper and very slowly inhaled the lure no jumping no splashing at all. the lure just disappeared . took a but 6 mins to reel it in

[@thebat1924]

Old school Stella. I’ve got the 20000 version. I now use the new 18000 Saragossa and can’t fault it. Got a 30 kg out at the swains

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Yeah mate they are great reels! 👌👌👌

[@Outerrythem]

A good amount of swell coming over the transom... I would be wanting the mother ship to be in view.

[@classiccafe1]

Love to see some behind the scenes of the mother ship, how it works, the food, partying etc.. since this is a newer concept for us in the states. thanks for another great video bud

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Roger that mate, I’ll keep it in mind for future trips out there 👌👌

[@Rtechmobile]

Trip out of Lucinda and a good size Spanno hooking up mid air right in front of the boat . Hooked him in the tail so dragging him backwards wasn't anywhere as much fun as the hookup.

[@jtsweekly619]

Best hit I've ever had was at the reef I threw away a pilchard head and all of the sudden spannos and shark mackerel were swiping at it my brother tosses an old piece of bait you'd use for coral trout in the water and hooked a small Spanish sadly we lost it but I did the same thing and just as I could not see the bait I left the line on free spool and it took off in my hands set the hook and caught my Pb shark mackerel

[@liamloveday2676]

First light surface fishing lake borumba. 77cm Saratoga I saw him chase it and the strike don't get any better than that. 6 feet from the hobie. It was on 1-3kg gloomis on 1000 daiwa 6 pound j braid 💚

[@ItzVestra]

Ripper video, We need a catch n cook Sammy

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

I haven’t done one in a while! Better dust off the chef’s hat 💁‍♂️💁‍♂️👌👌

[@haithamal-hashmi7135]

Well done guys.

[@Cahya301]

A very powerful message, my boss, greetings greetings from a hobby from Indonesia

[@trentjacobs4286]

Best take was a big 60cm brown trout up in Barington tops on a ratty fly i had tied up, my first brown and biggest trout to date

[@MYeahman]

Yes Sammy!! How was whitey on the struggle with that first fish hahahah

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Hahah yeah the rough conditions didn’t really help. Wait until you hear us both huffing and puffing when we get stuck into the GT’s!

[@lorenvanlandingham4003]

Best strike was one I never felt. Drifting spoons in my local river for steelhead. Saw a chromer jump out of the water with my spoon in the corner of his mouth.

[@hudgyboys1599]

My epic strike was my first fish on the yak a nice 30cm flathead you could nearly argue that the plastic hadn’t even touched the water before I was on

[@waynepraytor7807]

I caught a 44" 33# lake Trout in colorado's Blue Mesa resivor from the shore.

[@carmenlochenberg3677]

marlon from south Africa as i lift my jigger out the water it grab it in the air that was cool i got a shock

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

That’s crazy!! 😳😳

[@paulshearer9140]

Does it get any better than bangers on surface lures? Nice work boys. Thanks for the fish de-hooker Sammy.

[@deft3562]

Good vid mate yeeew

[@waynemee8920]

My most epic eat would have to be late in the day on Oberon dam west of the great dividing range, west of Sydney NSW and we had fished really hard for no results. So we managed to hunt down some Mudeyes/ dragonfly larvae, i then proceeded to chop a chunk out of my thongs, pluggers,jandals. I tied on a outfit running mono a straight through footwear to appropriate hook rig and walked out berries deep to deploy a mudeye. After only managing to throw it about 4m I was walking back to dry land when line started leaving the reel all by its self. Result was after flogging every recognised form of the fine art of Trout fishing while staying at the big trout motel, weed bug on a thong got a nice hen rainbow trout to salvage the trip. Was after check out and a last ditch effort after doing sun up, check in and arvo into late night and before sun up. Not my best fish but a WTF fish.

[@loganhutton7928]

A Spanish hit my floater when I was reeling it in and when went to lift the the pilli out of the water he smacked it and caught 2 more after that and 50 trout and red throught there to on a glass out day out of the burdekin

[@fujiwarakenji]

Most memorable strike I had was 3yrs ago on a 200g jig. Reeled in my jig about 5 meters off the bottom to help a friend with his fish, then an amberjack slammed my jig, took off, and I split my pants right down the crotch. I did land the fish, but I havent heard the end of that incident yet.

[@yoyobenjo1]

Its beer o'clock.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Blooody oath! 🍻🍻

[@timriley2092]

My craziest hook up was a couple of years ago I’m jigging away on a charter boat (using braid ) when something crabbed my line and started running like a bat of hell it was spoiling me and like an idiot new to this situation I grabbed the braid to snap it instead it burned and cut my hand lesson learned never to do that again as I watched the last of my line spool off No idea what the fish was the mate said he thinks it was a tuna my guess was a shark

[@jaiplummer3428]

Whereabouts do you fish in the world

[@griffsfishingqld]

[@mixedshawarma5214]

i shot this 4.5 kilo monster parrotfish it was so strong it pulled me underwater (i was at surface and i dont have a reel or breakaway or float) ended up losing the fish but it was strong

[@HERKOMPENDERETYK]

I haven't seen it for a long time guy whu lost that many fish.

[@garymilton3081]

Grantville pier Melbourne using a full Trevalley reeling it in and a 5 ft 7gill shark aired out and gave me the best hour and 45 minutes fight got her up to the boat ramp d hooked her and she gave birth on the boat ramp

[@griffsfishingqld]

[@jordanhedrick2018]

[@bigbopper9627]
