Hunting Tuna! We struck GOLD (Catch & clean)

Ahoy Legends, this week Shauno and I strike gold as we go hunting BIG Yellowfin Tuna offshore from Gold Coast. This episode is a follow on from the previous weeks episode where we planned to go deep jigging but heard there were some Yellowfin being caught nearby by some other game boats. We may not have jagged the big one first go, but we did the miles and eventually got the smiles! Hope you enjoy the episode!

Thanks

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Thanks so much mate! Really appreciate the support 🙌🙌🙌🍻🍻🍻

[@jonnyayres1269]

Hey Sammy. I was up at Mudjimba for a tennis reunion to watch the Wimbledon final and flicked some lures Monday and Tuesday. Conditions weren’t great but didn’t get a single bite. Anywhere else around there you suggest might be a nice spot? Thanks. Jonny

[@markferguson4255]

Love the Sammy and Shauno shenanigans. Great catches guys 😀

[@jmfishing86]

You know those skipjack tuna ya let go are absolutely delicious

[@ooo57447boott]

Not as good as yellow fin Idk about you but in Australia we use them as skip baits to catch marlin

[@myparadiseonbantayanisland9030]

They should keep one and do a blind taste test, I think they would be surprised 😋

[@Bendejo-lm8wo]

We use them as bait fish down here in southeast Texas. A million better tasting fish than them that’s for sure.

[@kamadowoah4584]

Definitely edible....most greenseas and John West is skipjack. Lot of blood in them. Takes a lot of work at the cannery to make em taste nice

[@6thstreertfisher]

​@@kamadowoah4584age them for 3 days with filet still on them just remove gills and guts. Then process them after the 3 days and you have sushi grade tuna.there the only eatable tuna that doesn't have low stocks.

[@alstoiche2045]

Great episode Sammy, good reward in hectic conditions. Loved seeing Shawno the Impaler throwing out his Mortal Kombat coring fatality too, interesting stuff

[@markshark7521]

Nice boat shauno, love my 4wdriving but love fishing more! Cheers from Cardwell NQ

[@clydem7899]

Yah guys!! Tsutomulures Kona Dragon got the prize aye!!👍👍🤙🤙💪💪

[@nathanfarr4493]

Good ep Sammy. How’s professor whale “endotherms” 😂 I love it. That’s amazing how he pulled the guts out that big yellow boy🎣🍺

[@Chase_S_Fishing]

love the sammy and shauno duo. nice work guys

[@mickelly8922]

Nice I can still remember my first yellow great fun

[@AnthonyNelson-gy3vr]

Great episode Sammy. Nice gaf job as well shawno

[@pearcebrown1043]

Cracking episode mate loved it!

[@willkitching]

Another top video there Sammy, and some top seafood too! Delicious. Very well done, good to see you guys got some rewards for your efforts after deep jigging didn't work out. Keep 'em coming mate!

[@benturton3358]

Nice one boys !

[@catfishpoptart8895]

Sick sunset shot! 🌇

[@proteusnet]

Great catching Sammy, thanks for sharing

[@carson215]

Surely we can get a tour of shaunos boat in future video. Thing looks like a mansion

[@pointbreakfish]

Great vid guys 🔥🔥

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Cheers Mark 🍻🍻

[@kiwibro9649]

Love winter fishing 🎣

[@DCA001TUBE]

Thats hard work guys, well done

[@Side85Winder]

Surprised you didn't keep a few stripy tuna for whole trawling baits. Those big bait episodes are really good. I never laughed so hard when you caught that big snapper on one expecting a mackerel 🤣.

[@simonmorozoff9086]

Next time try the stripie as sushimi, as good as yellowfin on the first day, just doesn't last in the fridge as long. Good work boys

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

I might have to! Plenty of people have been raving about them!

[@terrytailor]

Definitely jiggly on that second day, to say the least Reminds me of a few nights trawling in building seas, just before our skipper called it so we wouldnt bend any gear. Bet you slept well after that 14hr core workout 💪 Well done guys, not all beer and skittles but some lovely yellow fin for all your efforts.

[@jazza_883]

Im here to show my love as well Sammy 😂😉🎣

[@TheManurin]

great video as usual!

[@adammcgeorge3538]

Nice work boys, a little blurb on what the spread was would have been a good addition

[@jzone55]

Great catching Sammy,Thanks for sharing.

[@ultramoon4]

Lovely dream fish

[@geoffdrew5207]

We were outside the outer reef just north of Daintree one year and struck a school of small yellowfin (30-40lb) that stretched for over 5kms, it was impossible to put any lure out the back without it being immediately taken.

[@jordangrant6219]

Top shelf mate! Can I ask, were you running your divers on the corners, the bullets on the riggers and the pusher skirt on the shotgun?

[@chrisrobertson853]

Yeah the boys!!

[@JamesLeCerf-fk5zi]

Means my dad love your videos

[@MarkKnoop-zb8zy]

Shauno shoulda tried to lip that first yellowfin instead of gaffing it. Razzing out of the way, great video as always man, congrats on the awesome trip!

[@cheesymiller5409]

Hey Sammy great video could maybe do a snapper video please

[@reallife7375]

Full sick brudhas

[@smee103]

First time I’ve gotten Sea Sick 🤢 watching one of your videos Sammy. kudos to you and Shauno mate

[@glennegan3977]

Check out the tuna champions videos for how to best look after your fish. Brain spike properly, artery bleed behind pectorals, pressure bleed, spinal release, gill and gut and ICE SLURRY not just ice. You will notice the difference clearly when you get it spot on.

[@elijahtobolov8352]

I love your videos I saw you in Mark Burg’s Fishing Addiction - where the sailfish busted off 🥹

[@JamesLeCerf-fk5zi]

So good

[@A.CFishingextreme]

love it

[@arnoldrudder9624]

Awesome 😎 boys

[@jakejacobson2999]

Another great one mate. Would you say those wavers were 5-6’ers? It is always hard to tell by the camera

[@garysmeltzer1933]

Hey Sammy what about some footage of crossing the bar

[@craigmccann1028]

I liked it.

[@benjiwhite1796]

Yeh the boys

[@malmissingham6033]

BARE FEET ??? - no shores. Sammy, I thought you would have learned from prior experience. Cracka effort on tough conditions (thumbs up)

[@KrayzieRyan]

What keeper bag does Sammy use?

[@Asal_Lempar_Fishing]

Greeting from Indonesia 👍bro

[@TwoSeasFishingandAdventures]

That's gold

[@shouldbefishin8528]

Air swing 😂😂😂

[@lovingburnettheads2190]

Ah sushimi!

[@thierryprodigue2507]

Hey! You guys take a medicine in this rough sea?

[@gurantobennett3513]

❤ yellowfin

[@stephenjeacocke1530]

You want to hit that ice company up for sponsorship ? Show their brand enough.

[@4x4andfishing]

Not that I can catch one but can someone tell me if it would have been better to add a tiny bit of salt water to the ice going in the Tuna?

[@6thstreertfisher]

For the life of me don't understand letting go all those skipjacks. There some of best eating tuna in the ocean. It called katsuo sushi. Maybe it a American thing when fishing of the keys in Florida we pick them up when looking for bonito for swordfish bait

[@darbyshaw1514]

I’d be chucken in no time in that

[@liamwindsor5854]

Bit rolly aye

[@rorycumins]

Hello Sammy, what type of boat is it?

[@smithysfishing]

It is a Carolina Classic. 2x315hp, 4.2 litre, 6cyl Yanmars. Essentially mariniezed 2H Landcruiser engines.

[@jeffrogonzalo5067]

Do you bleed the tuna ?

[@kamadowoah4584]

He would for sure. Vegans and Karen's often report fish bleeding and killing videos to KZbin and complain so a lot of fisho tubers just don't include that kind of content anymore.

[@liamr3866]

[@user-sl1rn7tv4v]
