Dropping my Lure on This Giant!

[@patmccrotch8300]

One of the first lessons I learned from my father when fishing from any rocky shoreline was before casting always look for a safe spot with solid footing where you could fight the fish from so you wouldn’t get pulled in or fall when casting. Another lesson, if you can’t safely land the fish from where you are fishing from you shouldn’t be fishing there. Love your channel but you almost falling in brought back memories. Stay safe

Joey, no other way to put it bloke! This content and camerawork is top notch 🔥🎣

Wow, I’ve watched thousands of epic GT/kingy videos over the years with unbelievable fights. Long time follower so I know you set to your drag to a level that your physical attributes & knowledge of how to fight these fish simply wouldn’t be possible most to handle That being said, that first kingy had to be one of the freakiest fighting specimens I’ve ever seen. Those vertical runs at the end of that fight were so intense with the line angle so close and the rod folding away. I always knew kingys were badass but your videos have shown me they’ve got to be right up there with GTs pound for pound, and maybe even more likely to ledge you? What an incredible fish and video. Thank you for sharing.

[@jack-he7fv]

throughout the fight, pound for pound kingfish are the stronger fighters. GTs hit the lure much harder and go on a stronger first run but shortly give out. A king will keep battling until its out of the water

[@DanEvan]

@@jack-he7fv yeah I think a lot of the pressure a GT puts on guys outside that initial run is due to their tall body height as well. Once they’re on their sides it must be like trying to lift a 30 kilo floor mat. I’ve never caught either species, just bluefin tuna on spinning gear, so I’ll take your word on that one man. Both are absolute savages pound for pound and I’d dread to see what they’d be like if they reached bluefin tuna size

[@fisherman7834]

@@DanEvan mate they both fight hard a bit different of a fight. One place I have been to, the GTs there are uncontested in fight by anything really but in general kingfish go harder especially off the rocks

[@philliptrinh]

Epic episode Joe. Top notch bloke for taking a fellow angler out for his king from the rocks. 👍🏻

Thanks man and I'm sure you'll see Ben on more episodes in the future especially on the Hunting Channel

Wow, that first fish was an absolute bruiser. Looked like it was in the 50lb range. That is what every yellowtail fisherman dreams of here in California. Cheers 🍻 to your new buddy for getting his first.

These fish are so similar to our Yellowtail. Such a prized fish for both sport and food (sashimi). Great catch from the rocks! ❤️

[@joshmason6169]

EPIC! Gotta say, it's truly incredible how a 20-50 lb fish can pull a person 5x their mass around. At 207, if you put me in a tug-o-war with a 50 lb kid, they'd be flying across the center line. Amazing creatures indeed!

For some they cant do what you do so..the only thing they can do is envy you lol😉 So keep it up bro🤘💯💪😎

[@YL-mc9oz]

Hi, I really enjoy your channel !!! I wanted to please ask a professional question: is there a reason you work with such a closed clutch and do not let the fish move away? Thanks in advance

[@JEWildsFishing]

In New Zealand with these Kingfish, they take you straight into the reef. If you had a lighter drag pressure the fish would have you in amongst the sharp reef in seconds and you will lose your fish, lure and pride haha. The trick is to keep them away from the reef and the only way to do that is to stop them in their tracks

[@YL-mc9oz]

@@JEWildsFishing Very interesting, thank you for the detailed answer !

My dream has always been to fly the 12 000 miles and fish NZ for a fish like these in the video, maybe alot smaller than these guys. hoping to find some places to catch one off the rocks or a jetty but your film made my heart race. Lovely film and great to see them going back. Be safe and tight lines

Australians have different names for the fish. That's an Amberjack. What we call Kingfish in the northern hemisphere is the King Mackerel.
