I'm tellin' you what, Gido, this video was absolutely Awesome. The scenery, waves, and clear, deep blue water was beautiful. Seriously, I don't know how you scamper over those sea washed rocks in your bare feet. The jagged edges and precarious places you stand to fish and catch your scaly prizes are indeed a feat beyond my ability. I absolutely enjoyed what you showed us and I couldn't stop smiling. I think I even smelled the ocean breezes, the fresh salty water, and the rocks that were deposited with seaweed and and other little critters. Some day, if only in my dreams, I'll fish those heavenly places!

[@Muritaipet]

I just want to say, I absolutely love the way you keep just enough to eat. And I was seriously impressed by the effort you took to save the big one. Well done

Cheers from US. Thanks for taking us on another adventure

[@markpatterson-jc4ks]

Love your adventures! Thanks for taking us along😊

[@terencephilipstrydom4838]

What a beautiful, pristine place to fish! A huge snapper caught on a light outfit. ❤ You're making memories that will last a lifetime!

[@thegreatnorthwet5864]

Way to go Gido! What an amazing place! Solid effort on that snapper resuscitation! Love the way you are not afraid to abuse the hobie! Your adventures are inspiring and thank you for all the effort filming for us!

[@tobyrichardson1837]

What a dreamy fishing spot. Loved this video!

[@Nohealeinaalakoa]

Super happy for you Gido!! That was a good fight he put up! Epic scenery, so stoked for you to be there and taking us along with you. Defenite bucket list for me. 🤙🏾

[@carrieeasley3995]

New Zealand is so beautiful and the locations you’ve been at have been spectacular. When my younger brother was in high school, he won a trip to a world rifle meet in New Zealand. We were on the same team, here in Texas but he got picked. I was so disappointed, but happy for him.

[@btchhopperou812]

And some days, you just end up KILLING it! Epic trip, mate, what more could a man want, right? A most beautiful environment, peaceful, pristine, serene- and the birds at night to serenade you into slumber. All of this- then the fishing itself... wow Gido, this video, just watching it, put me in a whole different place on a Sunday afternoon. It put me at ease and I was able to relax and enjoy the tiny slice of peace and oneness with the Earth, sea, and sky that you brought to all of us. It really does make me appreciate all the hard work and preparation, the time, the equipment, the production and the editing- I want to say THANK YOU, Gido, very much for doing your thing and then sharing it with us. Happy New Year to you and your family, and although I truly believe the rest of the world may be coming apart at the seams right now in so many places, even if it is only right here, you bring all your viewers a slice of tranquility in turbid times. Much love and peace to all

[@thomasfholland]

Seeing the stars from the Southern Hemisphere would really blow my mind!! Dad was working at NASA his whole life so I know the northern hemisphere. But if I was there with you I would think I was on another planet!! Great start for us to get to watch you in action - thanks!

[@thomasfholland]

I was wrong, there were a few things I could use to navigate. Like Jupiter at 26:17 starting to disappear behind the rocks and the Zodiac sign Taurus the bull, Orion, the Pleiades aka the seven sisters and of course The Andromeda Galaxy - something that we can definitely never see from here in Stockholm, Sweden! It was a bit of a mind f*ck because everything was “up side down” compared to the last 63 years! 😂

[@mikemaher8296]

Awesome Gido… glad you enjoyed your time over here in NZ… great barrier and mokahinaus are amazing places alright spend plenty of time there too… come back again mate!!

[@anthonykeller5120]

Another stunner. Thanks for allowing me to fish vicariously.

[@puppy2haley]

So great to see you had an amazing trip!! Loving your video’s!! Stay safe … from your Texas, USA, fans!! 👍👍❤️

[@JohnnysCafe_]

Loved the look of Snapper bay, like something out of Lord of The Rings, top fishing and even a neat fish rescue.🎣👍

[@shameelmohammed3741]

This is such a lovely view i wish i was there fishing with you. Awesome dude❤

[@racepics]

Wonderful to see you here in NZ, I don't get to fish those areas up north, but instead surfcast beaches around Hawkes Bay. Plenty of 20lb+ Snapper are caught most years here, although I've never managed it myself. We wouldn't even consider fishing on bright sunny days here though, you'd get nothing. Overcast, slight chop and dawn/dusk are when the fish are least shy.

[@R00RAL]

Gee Gido, i think you paddled too far out of Albany mate. I love your work though. Keep it up. Great stuff. 👍

[@geoffreyhoddy2888]

Fantastic Gido , what more can you say ? The places you take us on your fishing trips are SPECTACULAR ! Keep safe out there. Cheers 🎣🐠🐠

[@frybread9991]

Great to see you catch an amazing snap off the rocks, so many LB spots out there. Spent many a night out at Mokohinau and always felt an energy there.

[@KayakFishingCorkIreland]

As a kayak angler I flinch every time you drag one over rocks! Beautiful footage and congrats on the snapper.

[@Derlei]

I love how you always cook your catch of the day. I have to say the fried fish fillets do look delicious

[@benconway2340]

Amazing scenery and banging fish! Awesome vid!

[@trg3761]

Thanks for bringing us along much appreciated..

[@randalltapp8944]

wow. what amazing country. Can't believe you resisted having a dive for a cray..... Great work with a stunning episode Gido

[@user-cg4ok4ve9d]

Another excellent adventure, Gido!!! Thank you for sharing!!!

[@kimkwangryeol3333]

cheers from south korea! what a beautiful nature in australia! every single time new fishing spot and fish! thanks for vids

[@jasonnelson8824]

Stunning backdrop to get lines wet, thanks for sharing Gido

[@robhenson480]

Love it that you only take what you need and put the big ones back. I wish everyone fished like you do. Too many people let their ego rule and keep the big breeders that should be put back (after a quick photo)

[@Bandito071]

Incredible place, the coast there is next level. And as an added bonus, no snakes !!

[@Nicknofish]

Fantastic video Gido. Congrats on the snapper. Cheers.

[@TheSparklyBeader87]

Happy New Year, Gido! 🎉

[@deefa_damo]

Such an awesome environment - and an amazing capture only a few metres from the rock. As always, thanks for sharing. And I finally have some tasline, 20lb on a new setup.

[@shane2536]

Big kudos for doing your best to help out that big snapper ! Great sign of a fisherman 🤝

[@maddie45589]

Cool vid, please keep them coming! ❤️

[@lewismicklewright9075]

Thanks Gido awesome footage again., love it, can't wait to see what's coming next. Keep them coming. Will be travelling WA soon for a couple years any locations you can suggest for some nice fish. Cheers

[@Chilli6025]

Love your style . Im an expat Fan living in WA. I had a recent phone call with my Dad giving him in the heads up about your channel and was surprised to hear him cut me off and mention are you talking about Guido? Absolute gold, LMAO

[@f.a.6451]

Awesome videos, over and over again. Especially the scene with the stars and the animals making noises (don't know what that was) but it was magic. Keep on posting, never stop. Would make me sad.

[@Forjiadventures]

Wow... i wish i could have and learn this things such an experience..... enjoy fishing adventures bro... 🐟 🐠 🎣

[@FrenchAdrift]

Epic video! So nice to see the big dog go back. Well done mate. NZ snappers are incredible!

[@doza183]

Awesome video mate! Always helpful to carry a big needle to deflate the fish if your going to release them after catching them in deep water.

[@bustedfishing2139]

Pleasure fishing with you for a couple of days mate. Love your work 👍

[@gidosfishingadventures]

Thanks for showing me how to catch a kingfish mate haha Was a great trip

Loved watching this one yesterday your 1 mad bloke in the places where u go fishing.that snapper looked good eating

[@saginawdan]

Thanks again and again Gido!

[@anndebaldo7381]

The sound of the birds on the cliffs at night! Amazing! what kind of birds are those. And what a great trip you're having with a PB! Oh, yes did the huge fish stay down after you spiked it down? Nice that you went out to it to take care of it. Congrats! Thanks for taking us along...ATB

[@fatwags]

I thought they were whales a night

[@leolldankology]

I think those are shrieking eels. They grow louder before they feed on human flesh.

[@saginawdan]

​@@leolldankologyOne could only hope.🤣

[@joshuaangell4523]

I think they are Kuaka/ Diving Petrel or Shearwater in or around their burrows. Awesome to hear though.

[@andreibig2]

Another marvelous cenary. Love from Brazil

Great video Gido , snapper must have thought ' Oh Christ he wants me for dinner when he saw the kayak coming to save him ! "

[@sulliedgoat620]

Why do I find it so damn funny that the crabs always trying to punk this mans dinner lmao.

Wow, you always get big fish strikes and the GT fish are released again and immediately cook a meal on the beach, complete success my friend 👍

[@Dogsrule777]

Man. It looks so nice to camp out in paradise and eat like a king!

[@Marcofergo]

Beautiful Gido 🎣🎣🎣🎣

[@robsycko]

At 4:42 it was an Axilspot Hogfish , Bodianus axillaris

[@gidosfishingadventures]

thanks, we get a fish here in WA we call a fox fish (Bodianus frenchii) and I thought they looked similar. Scientific name agrees with me

[@vadusnisky]

Nice one gido 👍

[@ianmurray9201]

Very nice fish mate.

[@TOM20000]

I love that frank has a huskinson shirt on !! Jervis bay.. he’s fished tubes for king.

[@5wisher5weet]

That is some sick location to fish, i dont have the valls yet to get out of the protected bay

[@marcchapman4875]

Have you ever thought of coming over to the states and fishing the west and east coasts ? I think you would enjoy it

[@NuthinNice]

Hope i can get out there and do this stuff one day love the content bro

Great video! Cheers!
