Finally, fishable weather! We experience first-hand the problem everyone is talking about!

[@MrHilltop77]

Fishing with Phantom makes for great viewing as always!!!🙌🎣

[@bigd4000]

Mate those lost fish of ur dads an the laughs an leg pulling behind the scenes is a memory to never forget so treasure them as he has probably taught u so much about fishing an seeing u at the end of the vid with ur little guy probably makes the phantom very proud ah? Stay safe budd 🤙

[@alby1410]

Love the little man mirroring Dad and turning the fish around and over. Good memories right there

[@terrytailor]

That was a fun day. Thanks mate. And yes I did skip my gym session the next day!

[@Private_Idaho_1]

I bet! I got a cramp in my bicep just from watching!

[@pacman5590]

Fantastic session with the old man! One of these days you’ll grab yourself the FG Wizz - greatest knot tying tool I’ve found yet & better still, Australian made!

[@jamesdoe3713]

Aww your little helper at the fillet table is so cute.

[@gobblyn]

best ocean fishing channel on youtube! No bullshit. Just straight action as if you were on the boat.

[@smee103]

Rodney or “The Phantom “ always ready to show you how it’s done 😂👍 great to see you both back out on the local waters . Thanks for sharing

[@locklangermon2469]

hi sammy i really enjoy coming home from school and watching your videos keep up the good work

[@bennycase8473]

So glad you and the phantom got out there to help feed the poor endangered sharks! 🤣😂 Glad you got a few to take home after your donation to the cause.

[@mickdayday1152]

Big longtails are heartbreakers, great vid Sammy.

[@JTAdventures79]

Omg that pizza looked unreal guys , great too have u back 🐕

[@JK-ch8gj]

Great video and thanks for listing your gear used in the description. Super helpful!

[@whitsundayrealestate_]

Had the idea recently to allow measured shark fishing for the next 12 months. If we could allow those who have been impacted by spanish closures chase sharks it would allow them to supplement their income, control shark numbers and for those doing it tough introduce an affordable seafood options into shops. Just an idea.

[@its_Rhodes]

Pity there’s such an abundance of an endangered species

[@Tom-gc9lr]

Love the top down angle!!! Keep it up brother, love seeing you fish around Moreton island!

[@yannosadrenalinfishing3794]

Love the videos with you fishing with your dad Sammy 👌😊

[@jimf279]

Cheers from Northern California it won't be long the young man will be joining you and his Grandpa

[@BillKennedy-or4ot]

Good old Morton bay if you know the month, the tides and moon, always provides a great days fishing and fresh dinner

[@stanhawkins1023]

Sammy. American here. According to my unofficial survey, Australians and New Zealanders use more slang than any other English speaking people. And I have Aussies slightly ahead.

[@michaelbulla9231]

Another good day out with the phantom well done lads

[@tropicrows]

It's always a great day when you get one of those rare moments with an encounter with an endangered shark. I've been lucky enough to have them follow me from spot to spot. Now can you tell me where you got those large flat ice blocks in the kill bag, I've only found the smaller ones. Keep up the good work Sammy, always good watching your channel.

[@mitch_l7058]

Icey tek bricks

[@liamr3866]

Had some endangered hammers doing some taxing today

[@tropicrows]

@mitch_l7058 at $50 ea for the large ones they would want to be good.

[@nathanlitjens5905]

Your little one would be about the same age as mine. Being a dad is the best!

[@benturton3358]

How awesome you can do this with your dad. Would’ve loved to see you guys get one of those long tails. Noice!

[@errolmarsh127]

Great video , thanks mate

[@Kramerrizz]

Love the Phantom!

[@Finz0n]

Thanks for another good upload😊

[@pearcebrown1043]

The sharks are out of control everywhere by the look of it! Great episode but you guys worked for it that’s for sure!

[@jamesrobertson8941]

Awesome trip cheers 👍

[@Private_Idaho_1]

I hope you get a month of good weather to make up for the month of bad👍

[@barrsawesomeadventures7691]

Got a few nice fish there.

[@chrisflick1989]

We have the same issue with the sharks here in the states, you only get 1 out of 8-10 fish to the boat in most circumstances.

[@chrisbetter3820]

G’day Legend , First of all , I got to say , this was another epic intro to our weekly adventures so Thank you for that. I wanted to ask you : (at the beginning of the video) what is the floating device we can see near the pole you’re fishing and what would be the reasons to have it so near to this pole? Thank you for your time. Chris from Crete

[@GoldCoastfishakid]

Good job mate 😮

[@YeyeBustomiFishing]

Kuat sekali tarikan ikan nya👍

[@ChrisGibbs-g9k]

That old guy is cool as only old guys can be.

[@tonydodd-oe3hc]

You've got to love the tax man, needs to be new rules/laws surrounding them. On an up note if you can get a couple in size they are great eating smoked if you get a chance to try them, the phantom is always a good for a laugh 😅

[@danielgraham2128]

24:45 poor Tez got roasted 😂

[@ShaunNelson-j1q]

Had the same problem on the west of Fraser this weekend they were eating them at the boat

[@Captaincursed]

Geez I was laughing when you caught the Grinner 😂

[@BillKennedy-or4ot]

Shame they altered some areas where I always found enormous mackerel eating over the wire weed, the surroundings also very interesting area with many normally not seen in the bay fish like Nannie’s.

[@timriley2092]

Hey Sammy New York checking in hitting the thumbs up Now this is just a thought Sammy you didn’t have no sharks at that one pole till you and Tez started bleeding them out over the side lol

[@JayThorp]

Well done Son, sharks suck, the old boy goes good, great to see the lawn mowed but you may need to get out the whipper snipper hahaha, i live at Bribie and have met you a coupla times, love the sundy arvo vids, see you out there, cheers Jay

[@geecee9562]

Have you tried smoking the mack tuna in a smoker. It's reely tasty that way. 🎣

[@trentburgess3276]

It’s so good to see a coupla blokes winding the reel with the correct hand

[@saltgars.g4518]

So true. 😁

[@davidevans3884]

I cast with my left and wind with my right. Is that wrong?

[@arabarran]

​@@davidevans3884Nope! 😊

[@JoshuaFrench-mb5fv]

​@davidevans3884 it's all personal preference in my opinion. I like to use right hand reels

[@arkark576]

Load of rubbish. Fishing ain't got no correct hand.

[@LeeGoe-k1f]

My favorites!! Fishing with Phantom. Is that your son helping with the cleaning?

[@JosephBerardino-uy9in]

It’s good to see that the tax man is ever present no matter what side of the world you’re fishing on lol! Good job powering through and getting a nice feed out of the trip.

[@marcusandcodiesKoi]

Fish for dinner? Yes please😅, great trip out mate apart from the 🦈. Cheers 🍺

[@ernsthorn2788]

Would heavier gear help the landing process? Maybe it would reduce the chance of sharking and break-offs.

[@robertcross8860]

Good to see the taxman in action! What the word is, if there is red on the balance sheet wait for the taxman. Maybe don’t bleed your catch in the water beside the boat. They have very sensitive blood detection noses. They hunt by scent, and the more pressure from big foreign fishing boats they will (or have) learnt where to get an easy meal. The

[@hennies9509]

Do you not use a wire or cable to prevent loosing your setup, I mean, sharks or anything with some nice teeth will cut your line. Little Tommy has a great dad and grand dad to teach him everything he needs to know about fishing. Trust me, it is nice having a son.

[@saltgars.g4518]

👍💯

[@79barryianhodson]

Hi I ❤ Ur show. Dam sea taxi shark

[@shaunwallis1501]

what beacon and llocation wore u at. was it north morton or south

[@smclaren67]

What outfit was the Phantom using ?

[@rooracer78]

More fish n chips I recon.

[@jayjohnson9668]

Well Sammy its tax season at least here in the US so you know the Tax Man is gonna come take his share!🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤣. He always gets his share off the top and leaves us the scraps. 🖕🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@jedtaylor3551]

Sam You can't buy back time with your dad Take every day you can

[@MrAcuta73]

The tax man cometh, but don't ever hate on sharks. You are the apex predator in most situations. You are hunting for the tradition and experience, that animal is hunting to survive. Really don't need the "big bad wolf" mentality despite it absolutely being frustrating. That part I absolutely get. At least those animals are doing their normal job and aren't insanely overpopulated. Just hella efficient. Here in the US PacNW we get Sealions. Animals that no longer have ANY natural predators, humans aren't allowed to hunt them and the Great Whites and Orca that used to are gone. Imagine a thousand pound pinniped chasing a hooked salmon...into your boat. It happens. And they're everywhere. I'll take a few sharks over that. LOL

[@qdenistanner8811]

Sam all fish deserve respect even Grinner. They all have a purpose.

[@jeffreyherba8435]

What kind of sharks are they?

[@serverlan763]

Sharks are ruining the fishing all around the country. They are learning that the sound of boats is a dinner bell and they are totally tuned into taking every fish that gets hooked. The charter boats in Darwin are pretty much just in the business now of feeding sharks.

[@mattyboy.1]

the weather have been FUCKED even for landbased lol, dont even have a boat and cant fish anywhere but river or estuaries lol

[@andywasp]

Do you ‘juice’ your soft plastics? FYI, Florida is also suffering an ‘endangered’ species crisis!!

[@davidthelan9304]

Light lines suck. LOL go heavy and drag em in. Mono all the way LOL

[@nikphil]

How the hell did you end up with 2 " mollydookers " on the same boat ? hahahaha (y)

[@driller123smokey8]

I’m in agreement with the shark population being out of control ! Can’t hardly release a fish without it being sharked !

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Yeah something needs to change that’s for sure!!

[@DCA001TUBE]

Just talk to any government official, you must pay your Tax.

[@giovannigiorgio4622]

Oi ya can catch and eat shark? we can... like any other fish just gotta be over a size limit ay? Im not talking whites but all whalers and reefys are fair game broski. All (exceptions follow) 150cm max or interdorsal length 60cm max Combined limit of 1 shark or ray per person / 2 sharks or rays per boat (with 2 or more people on board) Grey reef and whitetip reef sharks Size and possession limits as above You can’t fillet grey reef or whitetip reef sharks, or remove the tails or fins, or have tails or fins on board a boat :Grey nurse shark No take :Hammerhead sharks No take :Sand tiger shark No take :Speartooth shark No take :White shark No take THATs QLD bro...

[@zaneo6627]

Nightmare I'm done with the shark's waste of money and time I think this day and age it's about 70% by 30 to the shark's

[@HuwMorgan-f3z]

[@HuwMorgan-f3z]

Let’s hope for a great episode Sammy 👍

[@mini_steve]

Do you want a medal? Or the chest to pin it on?

[@michaelbrown2678]

makes ya feel all patriotic when ye ole tax man shows up to take his share doesn't it? 🙄🥃🇺🇸

[@TheCrazycrab2]

Endangered? More like we’re trying to establish a value for a product that includes our goddamn profits

[@craigpower7934]

Bloody sharks they're getting worse

[@richardcochrane8119]

How good would an electric be for that type of fishing Sammy?

[@richardcochrane8119]

Looks like I spoke too soon as then you mentioned that very thing, still e a good option though.

[@SG-Gody]

Felt like you almost ready to go to therapy after that emotional ride. Glad the weather improves.

[@JosephBerardino-uy9in]

It’s good to see that the tax man is ever present no matter what side of the world you’re fishing on lol! Good job powering through and getting a nice feed out of the trip.
