I Caught a HAMMERHEAD While Kayak Fishing Mussel Farms -- New Zealand Ep 6

I love both

Nice release Robert! Thanks for all the content. It really helps when we’re all cooped up. You’re essential!!

Haha thanks brother. Trying to crank em out as fast as I can. Hoping to drop another tomorrow

[@Deecrappie]

You put on a very good production my friend. The guy with the little baby shorts he's in violation that is against the law for a man to wear shorts that small. Lol

Hahaha agreed

[@SpeedingSideway]

Hey Robert, if you wanna get real up close to the penguins on a kayak, go to the South Island, but they are feisty, if they starts chasing u, better be running they gather in groups. They may look cute but they aren’t something to mess about !! (Not friendly)

[@YakFishField]

Good to know! I’m hoping to swing down and check out the South Island when I go back in December

[@SpeedingSideway]

@@YakFishField they wont bother you if you keep a little distance, like at least 10 ft. (could have been I just had the worse experience with them before.)

The bigger question is did you get to snack on some of the greenshell mussels? We were on a charter in the South Island and ate them right on the boat. Musses and oysters back in the states will never be the same.

Unfortunately not. But the boys did harvest some oysters. I missed out

i would've been so frustrated that the hammerhead just would not cooperate.. sooo annoying haha, i almost yelled at it watching lol

[@TheBeaker59]

Was going to be going out to GBI this weekend but stuck in lockdown, I try to get out there twice a year. Funny story about the penguins at times in the Hauraki gulf there's heaps of them anyway one trip we had a young British guy (on leave from Iraq) on the boat anyway he was amped to see a penguin which oddly took a while to find anyway when it did he took heaps of photos. for the next 3 days we saw one like every5 minutes and all us guys hassled him pointing out each one and talking him into more pictures and video etc drove him nuts after a while. Good trip though he caught heaps of snapper kingis trevs etc

[@YakFishField]

Hahaha that’s funny. Cool to see them. They’re FAST

[@johngriffin618]

[@shrimuyopa8117]

Surprised you took the risk to get the hook out of that shark. Good on you for doing it. I notice most KZbin fishers won't do that, totally understand why they don't though.

[@YakFishField]

Yeah, cutting the line close to the hook is acceptable. I try to remove it whenever I can. Not always possible though

[@SuperLukelucas]

Robert - love the channel. Curious to what happened to the 50 state road trip? Really enjoyed that and was hoping to see you make your way to Lake Erie for some world class Walleye fishing!

[@YakFishField]

Yeah man I was supposed to be 3 states up the Midwest by now, but I’m stuck in Texas until things settle down. Erie was on the list for this summer, now I’m not so sure. Gotta wait and see what happens. It’s coming though!!

@@YakFishField Nearly married a gal from C.C. (Her Mom was a Dr. and her Dad was a Dentist). I was in the Service then, and they wanted me to MOVE to N.Z., when I got out the next year. (Was too afraid of leaving my 3 motorcycles and Friends in the USA, so became a Commercial Fisherman, when I got out...! Her name is Judy Nye, if he wants to find out what happened to her... She can tell ya the "Rest of the Story"!). Haha! Got to see a LOT of the Countryside while there - even hitch-hiked up to Mt. Cook and got caught in a snow storm. Farmer down below let me stay over night and get warmed-up. (Their Summer is STILL "Freezing", to an old Southerner like me!). Haha! Man! If I had the money, I'd book a trip with you guys anywhere... I've fished from the Arctic to the Antarctic, from Hong Cong Harbor to Main (even went down to Cabo for a week, after I got out of the Service - Great Rooster Fish down there, too!)

[@chewynoodles409]

Robert can I ask what radios you and your buddies use on these trips!? Been looking for a good set of radios we can toss in our kayaks when we go out.

[@YakFishField]

Mannnn I don’t have a good recommendation. Get something waterproof and floating in the $80-120 range and expect it to last a couple years at best. Uniden, Standard Horizon and Cobra are reputable brands. Look for em on sale or with a good warranty

[@chewynoodles409]

[@MrAcuta73]

@@YakFishField Interesting....100% NOT trying to bust your balls, but why? If it was barbed and non-coated hook, be less damage just cutting off. My mother has been a fisheries biologist for 40 years, studying White Sturgeon. They long-line regularly to sample fish. Badly hooked fish just have the leader cut. What studies they've done say the hook rots out in a week or less. Also, it was hooked near the eye (oddly), all that yanking.... Again, not trying to criticize, but interested in your take on it.

[@mmatthews61687]

I wonder if that Hammerhead was in excruciating amounts of pain from being hooked on its head like that. They have a lottttt of nerves on the hammer for sensing prey. Curious whether that affects the pain level the shark felt

[@YakFishField]

I think it likely did unfortunately. I was using a circle hook to avoid that exact kind of thing. Weird that it got her like that. Doesn’t happen often with circles

Oyster. Not mussels. Oysters, small ones.

False. They are mussel farms. What jarrod was eating were oysters... those don’t grow in the farms, they’re on the rocky shores nearby.

@@YakFishField I see where you are coming from, but its the shark's ability to survive. People outside the fishing community etc will always make those comments... but who the heck cares about that. Its more important to do the right thing, (ie the hook would rust in a few weeks if that) and for those who know will understand. Or dont include that part of the video.

Way to handle that poor baby hammer... could have just cut the hook in half with pliers rather than rip its eye out and damage all of the nerve endings on its nose that it uses to hunt with... weak
