Grocery shopping, Fisherman Style!!

Ahoy Legends, This week the Phantom and I head out shopping for Christmas... Fisherman style! With a big family gathering planned for Christmas day we wanted to catch plenty of fish and crabs to really celebrate the day in style! But it wasn't going to be without its share of challenges!! A tough bite and cagey crabs would really test our resolve. Hope you enjoy the video!!

[@peterm6199]

That’s awesome 👌 Phantom rocks 👍 enjoy Christmas champions 🍻

[@chrisbetter3820]

G’day Legend , Being a Chef , I just couldn’t pass the opportunity to message you , as I truly believe you appreciate the taste of fish . The rule number 1 when it comes to cooking fish is to not mess with it and therefore , keeping it as simple as we can. Have you ever tried “ Papillotte “ way of cooking? Either on the bbq or in the oven, the fish (or filet) is cooked in a pouch made of tinfoil , tightly sealed so that no flavour is escaping. It’s on my festive menu too atm. Merry Christmas and all my best wishes for the New Year. Chris.

[@franiannarone8196]

Awesome year. Merry Christmas to you and family. Best of everything especially more subscribers in 2024🎉🎅🤶💚🌲

[@sicksour7791]

[@mritolduso7355]

[@aceganter4478]

[@maxfish4770]

Good one mate, good sign for the health of the system

[@JillyBean70]

Marry Christmas to you and your Family......see you in 2024 ♥

[@mattspinaze15]

Those couple of endangered sharks that are left seem to cover a lot of ground and take a lot of fish.

[@andrewsoutdoors1802]

Cheers Sammy. I was intrigued by the crab nets as I’ve never seen them before . Pretty impressive how they get tangled in them. Are they specifically for spanner crabs or can they be used for other species?

[@adammcgeorge3538]

It’s a feed of crabs Sammy ;)

[@akcellr8r75]

Yep sharks are indeed on the endangered list. Just like rabbits. 😂

[@fishing4life616]

Some are but those bronzies and bullies are nowhere near that point

[@danielwilliams6063]

Sammy , I'm curious of the depths you fish for the spanners . I live in Albany WA and thought about having a go to see if there here but wouldn't know where to start

[@goodcitizen64]

Awesome underwear footage Sammy!!

[@steveo2127]

Thought I was watching "Weekend at Bernies" dragging the old bloke around

[@jamesrobertson8941]

Sammy & Tez, Damn good session! nailed it i loved that ride. I hope you and the family have a great XMAS and everyone else in the chat or who watches also. Loved this vid Cheers mate 👍 (oh btw, can you show next time you do a spanner crabbing session how to tell a buck from a jenny cheers. Yes i could look it up, but i like the content) Onya mate.

[@ridgehorton8104]

Pearly aint what can happen to anyone, rock cod can happen to anyone 😂😂 my rods favourite catch it seems 😅

[@landbruzr]

What are your gunnel rod holders?

[@lindsayfraser4791]

The rod holders on the side of the boat. What brand are they. They appear to have a blue label. many thanks.

[@bianca22235]

They are reelax Rod riggers (silver) or reelax outrigger (black)

[@Fuego1000a]

you using mono instead of braid? Merry Christmas mate!

[@reallife7375]

I wanna fish stew

[@stevemcatee5700]

Sammy: Sorry, but how can you afford to go out to 300+ meters all day, catch 3-4 fish and quit? I figure your petrol is more expensive than Florida so three fish that size, they are nice, would cost you at least $30 or more in American dollars! I have had lots of captains here in Florida who could never afford to fish at all, not to mention commercial fishing costs, damn. Great show. sm

[@adammcgeorge3538]

Not much Christmas spirit in the spanners with abit of argy bargy on the tray!

[@adrianianna2868]

Why is your dad called the Phantom?

[@andrewstone4350]

the phantom is way better on the crab.

[@glennedwardpace3784]

First

[@andrewstone4350]

hey cuzzy, i hope you and ya old man have a safe and merry Christmas,.

[@tedjames2534]

Ditched the Suzi for the yami mate?
