Awesome video Greg and Dad, love dad’s comment when you have the treble in your foot, “ nice fish Greg “ Great stuff, hope your foots repaired.

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks mate glad you enjoyed it. haha he's a classic the oldboy lol. The foot is very tender still but getting better. Cheers for the support

[@OBM1770]

Great edit and content mate! Keep ‘em coming! Very lucky to be doing this with your old man! This one had Snez & I subscribed 👍

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks mate. I appreciate every trip I do with the oldboy beside me. I will be lost the day he's not. Cheers for the support.

[@downundermike8889]

I kept a small set (10") of bolt cutters on board just for this. They cut down to a 6/0 up to as big as one would use. fortunately never needed them. Great vid Greg

[@gregswickedfishing]

haha yeah I ensure a set never get taken off the boat now mate lol. Lucky the file did the job lol

[@scottforan1261]

Great vid mate, well done getting that hook out

[@AnimalYakTV]

Gregg, that's insane, good filing, and great spanno Mac trolls.

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks mate it was a great little Mack session and the file managed to save the day luckily. Cheers

[@smee103]

Another quality video Greg glad to see your Dad doing well. Hope the foot is feeling better

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks heaps Darren the oldboy continues to blow me away with how he fishes at that age. I hope I'm doing it at the age as well.

[@troys4274]

Hey mate still been following you after all these years! Well done Greg. Still need to take you up on that offer to go out!

[@gregswickedfishing]

Hey mate thanks heaps I appreciate it. Hope your going well mate. I would love to catch up one day for sure.

[@chrisdownunder8745]

Some amazing looking fish you are pulling in mate.

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks mate glad you liked it. Cheers

[@justinmobrien91]

Love the thumbnail mate🤣 Do you have a walk through of your boat all the nooks crannys eskies etc? I'm rebuilding a 21ft glassy and considering layouts. Keep up the no frills fishing videos mate thoroughly enjoy!

[@gregswickedfishing]

haha thanks mate. I haven't yet, but I will do one on a future video no probs. Cheers for the support.

[@19Keebs]

Another awesome Vid Greg. 👏🏽

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks heaps mate much appreciated.

[@michealrichters1289]

Great video, as always great footage and great information not like some of the other rubbish out there. Love the great idea with the file, a few years back old mate gave me a great tip about carrying a small pair of bolt cutters, the same thing happened to them, except he had the treble through his big toe “ouch” they were about 40 nm of the coast and had to return early because they couldn’t cut the treble either. Also loved the fact you added the information about the footage was before the new bag limits, it had me stumped why you kept more than the bag limit for a while.

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks for the kind words mate It's much appreciated. We normally have a set of bolt cutters on board but not this trip unfortunately. I will make sure the cutters and batten stay on the boat in the future. The new spanish bag limits don't come into affect until the 1st of July 2023 but the southern closure has just started. Runs from 1st of Feb until the 21st of Feb then another one from the 1st of March until the 21st of March. Thanks for the support mate.

[@terryyoung6900]

Hardcore mate- love the file work

[@crikeymacca]

Nice work mate, great trip. New hound looks good.

Cheers mate. Yeah shes a bit of terror at present but fingers crossed she ends up like our other Am staff

[@mariatheresaalcala7786]

well done Greg love your videos,very informative and fun to watch.Hope your foot gets well soon .

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks Maria its much appreciated and I'm glad you enjoy them. Thank you the foot is still tender but getting better day by day. Thanks again.

[@jordangrant6219]

Another cracker mate! But thank you for showing me I made the right decision with a checker plate floor, and always wearing shoes (or at least crocs) on board - ouch!!!! Top effort though to not only stay out, but stay the night and keep at it the next morning, and my wife absolutely loves Maori cod so is super jealous 🙂 A trip up the sunny coast to double island point just made the list

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks Jordan glad you liked it mate. haha yeah shoes would have helped but I hate wearing them on a boat. The foot was a bit tender to fish on after that but no pain no gain mate :-) Thanks for the support bud.

[@gRosh08]

Two words: Fish Tacos. Thank you for sharing.

[@gregswickedfishing]

hahaha yep hard to beat. Cheers mate.

[@seancraven2361]

Mate, had this happen to me several times,,always have a first aid kit and a little set of bolt cutters. Also for future reference if you held ice against the area it is literally a pain killer, only temporary but you won't feel anything during the extraction process. Great content, just found you and am working on watching it all.

[@gregswickedfishing]

haha thanks mate. Yeah I make sure the bolt cutters stay in the boat from now on. The pain was manageable. Just wanted to remove it straightaway before it swelled up and made it worse. No pain no gain they say.

[@chrisbarker9497]

Great vid mate. Would love to see some deep dropping off the sunny coast

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks heaps mate glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the suggestion mate I will keep that in mind.

[@joakimodlander6900]

Appreciate seeing what you see on the sounder as well as your rigging technique, all making for an enjoyable video, bugga about the foot but justifies my carrying around a small set of boltcutters under the baitboard, not been used yet though. :) Thanks Greg.

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks mate appreciated the kind words. Haha yeah could have done without the piercing through the foot but it could have worse I guess. I normally have bolt cutters onboard as well but not this trip unfortunately. Cheers.

[@nevanalthaus2387]

Great episode what an awesome session on the Spanish mackerel on a side note I can be there anytime short notice or not lol that's why we have sick days at work

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks mate it was a great little session even if there was a bit of a hiccup lol. haha no worries mate I will keep you in mind. Cheers

[@adammcgeorge3538]

My oldest son Elijah had two of the three prongs of a treble through his leg recently care of a feisty wahoo. The treble had small barbs, so I put some mono around the hook and with a quick pull it popped right out. We released two marlin later that trip and all was forgotten about the treble :) small barbs are definitely the go! Nice work with the file :)

[@gregswickedfishing]

Cheers mate. Sounds like you guys had a great days fishing with a little added excitement as well lol.

[@adammcgeorge3538]

@@gregswickedfishing yeah some trips can do with a little less of certain kinds of excitement in my books ;)

[@shes_cactus9349]

Another fantastic video. Would love to see a video of inside, maybe the sandy straights kauri creek/bluff reefs. Caught lots of reef species and Pelagics around there and with your experience and expertise I think you could make a cracking video fishing those areas. Keep up the great content, cheers

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks mate glad you liked it. Thanks for the suggestion mate I might have to put that on the to do list. Thanks for the support. Cheers

Pre Spanish rule changes.. I thought you said you were going to take me if you were ever short crew and leaving tin can ramp.. 😅 I know.. I know.. your fussy with crew.. great vid mate👌

[@jasonmariani1258]

I like you the best. Of all the ocean fisherman I love you the best

[@malmissingham6033]

Great video & fishing, shame about the imbedded hook - ouch. This is why I always carry small bolt cutters that are capable of slicing though large marlin hooks - would make mince meat of that treble. Suggest also consider Hookem Fishing Gaffs - Diamond Series - imho far better strike rate & secure fish holding than traditional U style.

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks mate. We normally have a set of bolt cutters on board but not that trip unfortunately. Thanks for the suggestion on the gaff mate. Cheers

[@dota2lol942]

had the same thing happened to me Greg, feel your pain every second of the way. My was hooked in my dominante right hand, I had a lure in me all the way to the hospital.

[@gregswickedfishing]

Unfortunately its part of fishing and if you do lots of it then it will happen eventually. Could do with out it but lol.

[@jasonmariani1258]

You’re a real fisherman. A smooth cat. Wtg bud! I’m happy to see you get that out of your foot my friend! Shit! That’s looked painful. I subscribed

haha thanks mate no pain no gain they say :-) Thanks for the support.

Thanks Natalie much appreciated.

Mate... it happens to the best. The thing is I was just cringing watching you. But you were just cool calm and collected. The way a pro would handle it. Ledgend mate.

[@gregswickedfishing]

hahaha thanks Shorty no pain no gain they say :-) I think I prefer no gain but lol

[@craigparker4108]

Unlucky Gregg, but handled it like a champ. Enjoy eating that one mate.

[@gregswickedfishing]

Cheers Craig he will taste superb that one lol

[@Miragious]

We take a set of small bolt cutters in the boat for this very occasion. Made me shiver just watching.

[@gregswickedfishing]

Yeah mate they weren't on board this trip just like the wooden batten. Could have prevented it if that was on board. Oh well live and learn

[@sharkyshepo8167]

And that's why I gaff and dong and kill before it's in boat. Well done tho mate, always a nightmare, I keep nips in me boat for this reason hey. Good fish and video mate 👌

[@gregswickedfishing]

Absolutely mate and I mention towards the end of the vid it could have been avoided if I hadn't forget the batten. Normally have a set of bolt cutters on the boat as well but not that trip unfortunately. Cheers mate glad you enjoyed it.

Ouch , time to wear some crocs 😂

hahaha go easy buddy I'm not sure about that lol Would rather a hook in my foot lol

Nice session Gents...Hope the foot doesn't get infected

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks mate so far so good. Just really tender at present.

[@surg71]

Good video, i would have crushed the barb and used the string method on that one, good job getting it out though

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks mate. I've used the string method a couple of times but due to the hook and barb size the file trick was the easiest option and worked well.

[@surg71]

@@gregswickedfishing Yea it was in your foot after all. Almost felt every file stroke watching it tho.

[@cruisin_our_country]

What a situation😳

[@gregswickedfishing]

Hahaha mate that was the title I was going to use lol

[@adammcgeorge3538]

If you have a fish bat, it’s a good practice to bat them on the gaff while outside the boat, and then bring them in the boat

[@gregswickedfishing]

Yes mate I normally do and I mentioned that in the end of the video that we had left it at home and would have prevented this from happening.

[@adammcgeorge3538]

@@gregswickedfishing yeah no worries, it happens to the best of us, glad it came out easy and didn’t ruin your trip, or attitude. Enjoy every trip you can fish with your dad!

Thank fully just a slight set back and get on with it :-) Mate I count every trip with my oldman as a blessing hey. I can only hope I'm doing the same at his age.

[@Timberstuff]

Got ciguatera poisoning in Queensland in 1988 nearly died and now I don't eat fish, not ideal but I still love fishing 🙃

Sorry to hear mate I've heard some horror stories. Was it from a spanish Mackerel mate and what part of QLD ?

@@gregswickedfishing Coral trout is the fish that got me

@Gregs Wicked Fishing Brisbane city centre had crumbed coral trout counter meal at a pub got ill within 2hours I think that's what saved me

[@gavinwilliams4803]

I thought spanish mackeral limits was 2 fish per boat max in Queensland.????

[@gregswickedfishing]

Bag limits of 1 per person or 2 per boat don't come in until the 1st July 2023. Currently there's a closed season for southern QLD which is from the 1st to 21st of Feb and then another one from the 1st to 21st of March.

Ahhh good to know cheers..keep up the good work

[@garyhay695]

Video great nice fishing, turn off your ratchet /clicker on the reel cannot heari much apart from that

[@gregswickedfishing]

Thanks mate. If you're referring to the reel I'm using for bottom fishing at the start then it's actually not the clicker but the twin anti reverse those reels have. The spring broke recently so a shorter one had to be used and its really loud because of the extra pressure. The correct one is coming soon so it will be much quieter.

[@grimreaper6112]

Thats why i dont have trebles on any of my lures.

[@gregswickedfishing]

Still happens but it does lesson the chances.

[@Fuego1000a]

friend was hooked on to a mahi and 1 of the trebs went into his gloved hand, and jumping on deck, we were stunned and looked the other way becos the blood we saw we cant differentiate whether it was the fish's or my friend's!!😅🤣😂
