Day 86 At Sea: WE FOUND THE BIGGEST FISH IN THE OCEAN

[@guillermodelnoche]

As someone who has spent days in international waters fishing I understand the level of respect you must have for those around you. I cannot imagine spending this much time on a boat as a couple let alone filming it. I truly commend you both for being sweet enough with each other that you still enjoy each other’s company. A couple little spats do not mean a thing. Killer cinematography!

[@1sweetmess]

The views underwater look something off of national geographic..absolutely stunning!

[@Last_Chance.]

Facts!!! I hope you have a beautiful day sweetheart

[@neukin]

Yea this stuff is just next level, hit the perfect spot with so much action. So beautiful

[@cory_hugs7850]

No doubt, I was like a photographer down there popping off screenshots every 5 seconds 😂🤙🏼🪸🐠

[@Sean-Aviation]

yea. quite amazing.

[@robbieallan6522]

It's definitely my favourite nature channel "sorry sir Attenborough "

[@33thewitt]

Strick and Fran are the greatest thing I have discovered on YT in a long time. Living a dream and also just very good people!! Thank you both!! Also...holy Mackerel!!

[@robbieallan6522]

It's become my favourite thing I only found this channel last couple of months, they're an inspiration ❤

[@jackrolfson312]

Words cannot describe how beautiful that underwater scenery was. And then to top it all off that whale shark and being able to swim with it. Thank you so much for taking the time to share all of that with us!

[@smmyers5956]

Love how you have a care for the environment. A fish too big to eat in the time you have would go to waste without anyone else to share with. Thank you.

[@robbieallan6522]

We have something in the UK called take 5 initiative which is take 5 minutes if you're on the beach picking up litter or take 5 pieces of litter if you don't have enough time and it's had an impact, if everyone does a little it all helps

[@phillockwood8414]

The length of your trip is incredible. It’s a testimony to the quality of your boat. You see unforgettable sights of things that I can’t comprehend. I know that it’s a lot of work however, the quality of your content is exciting. I look forward to seeing your episodes each week.

[@jimscanoe]

A beautiful video of two beautiful people enjoying a beautiful life in a beautiful part of the world-thank you for sharing.

[@kevinhering9920]

I love how you put the names of the fish species up so I can learn about the different types of fish. Great video production!

[@stevepoppitz8248]

I like the way you point to , and identify types of fish underwater. Keep it up !!

[@Marky18]

Fran’s a goddess, and that’s meant with all the respect in the world. Love the channel!

[@Tripple-L432]

One Day I will be sailing my boat from east coast of The US all the way to sydney, This is so inspirational to me,My Daughter lives there so I`m gonna sail to her, and watching this jus fuels the fire in me to the point I cant wait, thanks for all the work you guys put in We really really appreciate these beautiful inspirational works of art you share with us, Stay safe and God Bless.

[@alexandertelehin3425]

Yes that is a real fire that is waiting to ignite.

[@denniscrane9753]

What’s holding you back mate?

[@gregorythompson6521]

Man if your gonna do that i hope you"ll make it safely .Plus Jack and Fran are a long long long way north of Sydney,, nothing like the Great Barrier Reef near Sydney ,

[@annemakoha5671]

Amen. Let it be so.

[@windycurrent]

Wow wow wow!!! I give up on saying this is the best episode because every time I think this is the best episode ever, you turn around and blow us away with something like this. Awesome work! Incredible editing! Bravo👏👏👏👏

[@terryparker2338]

Would just like to say thank you. You guys put a smile on a lot of faces.

[@princeedwardinacan]

I have to say, I love you both. Your dynamic is very well done. I'm glad when I hear you say you had an argument. I would have trouble in any such close quarter sitch like yours. Thank you for tolerating each other in order to document and share your wonderful opportunity. You have provided a sense of delight and satisfaction as I imagine myself in such situ.

[@princeedwardinacan]

You are both so brave! Your work is so important in the world of relevant modern media. The camera work and editing are wonderful. I imagine Mr. S is quite the manager. Bless you Fran. Your efforts are as valued as others. Good luck with your fashion efforts. You wear it well. Not only that, I think you represent as a woman who is capable, able and quite independent. Your valiant efforts should be well rewarded. You, Fran, have proved yourself as a skilled and competent partner in every un-edited version of your videos. Thanks, for some faith restored in the trusting and collaborative efforts of a man and woman.

[@spruceville660]

Thank you for naming the fish, we enjoy the footage soooo much.

[@neukin]

awh the Fran and Strick adventures are refreshing. Thanks for sharing your journey.

[@alexandertelehin3425]

Fran and Strick you two are so, so luck to have each other with similar skill sets. Thanks heaps for showing us the beauty oof the corals and fish communities that mingle. I so much look forward to seeing any crays or shrimp that try to hide from danger. Cheers from Apollo Bay Victoria.

[@brandonking2679]

Going through a stressful time at the moment and these videos really help calm me.Thanks guys.

[@1sweetmess]

The water is just SO beautiful 😍

[@cwiii3378]

So true, that water is amazing, and all the sea life too.

[@larryseibert4102]

I can't express just how much I look forward to seeing each new adventure. They inspire and relax me. Makes me want to sell everything I own and set out to explore what is the real life, simplicity, B2B as you say. Please do not stop producing as long as you are able. Thank you so much! My best to you both. (Larry, Colorado, USA)

[@johnsheehan9318]

two of the most wonderful people!

[@Larry-lo7nf]

In the water is just amazing. So peaceful and then that big gigantic yet peaceful whale shark. The both of you are so very blessed to be out there so long away from all the junk that’s happening in the world right now. You’re in the perfect place. Stay there as long as you can.

[@philduclos9056]

Living the Dream… Thank you Jack and Fran

[@Fenixray1516]

I love the ocean and every part of the ocean is beautiful❤

[@Dstick1Spearfishing]

Some of the footage you crew get is just next level, thanks so much for sharing the ocean with people who may never get the chance to do what you are doing. We are blessed to experience this. Love the adventure! Dive safe, have fun! 🐳🦈🤿😁👍🍻

[@JR-pf1op]

I have been watching this channel for weeks now, silently stalking, and watching what you guys have been experiencing. Today, when ever this message reaches you I would just like to mention that what you and Fran experienced will be memories that you take with you the rest of your life. Your children and their children will speak of the OG's who decided to defy the world, go off into the sunset and build memories together that can never be undone or forgotten. Well done to both of you. So many memories on this channel, but swimming with the "biggest fish" in the deep blue really tugged the heart strings and made me realise there is so much in this world to discover yet, once you get past the every day we are all used to and challenge your own boundaries. I envy your experience, only for the fact that i need to create my own "version" of this with my young family before the opportunity has passed. Much love, JR, RSA

[@RichardPennetti]

I seriously doubt children fit in their plans. You cannot live this type of lifestyle with children. One or the other.

[@bobbrown5529]

another awesome episode . The colors of the reef the fish and that amazing clear water show why the GBF and surrounding seas are on most peoples bucket list . Me thinks the way Fran looks at you , just maybe she is in Loves you ...🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 Look forward to your next adventure .

[@jeffreygibson8123]

Thanks!

[@LAP1050]

Absolutely beautiful scenery that we come to expect and always exceeds expectations 👍. Camping on that sandbar with just the sounds of the sea 🌊, the night skies above and Fran 🌹 by your side 🤌 Strick, you’re one lucky guy 😏

[@kevinmac5701]

Thanks

[@kathymay3980]

My son and I had a trip round the islands of Whitsunday on a beautiful yacht. The skipper took us to a tiny sand cay right out in the middle of nowhere just like the one in your video. Absolutely extraordinary and so beautiful. Thanks for the reminder. 👏🏝️

[@lovedaybebe5881]

Always such a treat to watch your adventures . Last night I was with my partner in a pub near Glastonbury Somerset, and there were posters of fresh water fish & salt water fish . I was naming so many exotic fish 🎣 and sounded quite knowledgeable ! I admitted that I’d learnt it all from you guys 👌

[@paulcathcart9806]

Beautiful guys.. Our Family love you and what YOU DO. THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@zamis21]

This is what I love the most about your channel!! Again, your filming is amazing!! So clear and thank you for naming the fish for us!! I keep guessing and am getting batter but you naming them helps a lot!! Thank you again for the trip underwater!!

[@benduckx9367]

Strick and Fran...amazing encounter with the whale shark with it's angelic movements through the ocean as it performed its own magical ballet. You guys captured something I have never seen, nor heard before...the growl of this emmence fish. Amazing and beautiful. Good job guys! Be safe.

[@deanjericevic8912]

Wow, great diving; Maori sea perch, blue spot trout, coronation trout, midnight sea perch, buffalo emperor, ....., the speciation list goes on & on & all in clear water! The underwater videography certainly enhances your video narrative with some aerial aspects adding some more panache. "Sometimes you will never know the value of the moment until it becomes a memory".

[@mrpinto2008]

Thanks again for showing us a small slice of paradise. I really appreciate the captions and labels of different species. Thanks too for the recipes! Travel safe!

[@Doug5524]

The night sky is so beautiful thank you so much for showing us this was one of your best videos to date thank you both,

[@Tigerfan50]

So much fun hanging out with you two.

[@kellywilkins8043]

They truly are an amazing fish! I’m envious of you guys being so close to one! Congratulations!! Thanks for sharing your experience!!

[@ianparkinson7039]

Amazing scenery & a down to earth beautiful couple the best combination for an epic video.

[@RichardPennetti]

There is still some humanity left in this world. God bless you both.

[@leisameade7526]

I just love your videos, I can see all this beauty without leaving my armchair. I would never have this type of adventure on my own. I worry that your boat with break free of its anchor and leave you behind when you both dive together .

[@dannidoods]

Glad Fran didn’t spear Jack after last episode! Lovely one this week guys! Thank you!

[@BlissfulCrafter]

I am so grateful for you guys. If it wasn't for people like you I would never get get to see this. Thank you so much!

[@vybz_39tv]
