Kayak Fishing for HUGE Snapper (CATCH & COOK secret batter) -- New Zealand Ep 4

In this episode, we're on our 3rd day living on a boat around remote Pacific islands off the coast of New Zealand. We're deploying the kayaks chunkin big soft plastics into the "white wash" for Australasian snapper. Then, back on the Bounty Hunter, we're cooking 'em up using Skipper Aaron's secret batter recipe.

[@YakFishField]

Working to crank 'em out as fast as I can! We'll be chatting live at 4pm Central, hope to see you at the premiere!

[@DiabetoDan]

Just in case you didn't know- around 10:10 there's a bunch of random green flashes/frames on the screen. Dunno what's up there, but figured I'd mention. Awesome stuff! Any member of the porgy family tends to be some of my favorite fish to cook/eat

[@YakFishField]

Yeah I saw. Some kind of glitch in the upload I guess. 🤷‍♂️

[@joeanthony9162]

Nada's video Robert. Always rooting for you down here in Texas. Stay safe and God bless brah!!!! Tight line's never stop!!!!

[@Fishing_With_Essex]

Cool looking fish and an awesome location, nice bro.

[@YakFishField]

Thanks for watching brother

[@jakewkayakfishing8457]

Marty changes his shorts and Rob gets skunked. Forget about lure color and jig head weight, those lobster shorts are the key bro.

[@YakFishField]

Holy sh... you might be on to something 🤔

[@McSleazy23]

Great vid Bud. Again, the bloopers add an extra layer of what fishing is all about. Tight lines Brother and keep after it! 👍🏽

[@YakFishField]

I’ll try to include them more often!

[@YakFishField]

Yipaaahhhh!!

[@jimquantic]

Thanks for the post, I dig those high vis orange jacket/hat, sun covers. Nothing like being sure you can be seen--or I should say doing all you can do to be seen. That is using your head on the water.

[@fishingwithredtrout1240]

Great video thanks again 🤙

[@YakFishField]

Thanks for coming along MBP!

[@InshoreYakerTV]

Thanks so much jack. Next episode airs Sunday

@@YakFishField Cant wait man

[@charlieB69]

Better video with the explanation of the baits used and how you are using them. That is what I look for and this may be the best one you have done if you have done as much as this one. Good job again on explaining the fishing to help us viewers out wanting to come back and watch more of your filming expertise! Fishing is different there than here only by location and water depths. It helps to fish here as well with all that great info! Tight lines and keep the videos coming!

[@YakFishField]

Thanks for the feedback Charlie. You aren’t the first to tell me they like the educational stuff. I’ll do more of that. I worry that it bores other people, but I enjoy sharing what I’ve learned. And ABSOLUTELY these techniques, like many I’ve learned around the world, can work in very different fisheries. Fish are fish and many of them behave similarly, even if separated by thousands of miles. Thanks again!

[@Dhiekha87]

spot amazing fishing..bro Good vidio gaes

[@RickysFishingAdventures]

Man that snapper look so good im hungry now 🤤

[@YakFishField]

Best fried fish I’ve ever had. His batter is magic.

[@juanfg3487]

super bien la mar....muy buena pesca felicitaciones disfrutar de la naturaleza..muy buenos kayak.

[@YakFishField]

Gracias hermano 🙏🏼

[@jaspermccutcheon7807]

Man Brooks slayed those snappers😂

[@YakFishField]

Yes he did, and it was his first time fishing like that!

[@homeiswhereukeepurdealdoe]

i missed that crispy tanned ginger skin, looking like a snack as always rob.

[@YakFishField]

Why thank you, Emma. Making me blush over here. Also, adding “crispy tanned ginger skin” to my Tinder profile

[@homeiswhereukeepurdealdoe]

Hi You are good Robert Field I enjoyed a lot to watch your videos

[@YakFishField]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@rcnmasterplumber]

OMG Guys Thats Amazing Catch

[@YakFishField]

Really cool fish

[@rcnmasterplumber]

Robert Field Thank You For Taking Your Time Responding My Comment: Its Being Crazy Here In JC NJ, Im Dying For All These To Be Over And Get Back With Our Lives, Its Very Stressful Staying Home Watching Wife Cooking Over And Over 3xs Meals, I Really Need To Go Kayaking Again Like ASAP. NJ Bay, Inshore And Offshore Around Sandy Hook, NJ State Park, Highland NJ Bay, Aritan River, And So And So, Later Hits The Lakes, Im Not All That About Fresh Water But I Know Flanders, Flukes And Stripbass Also go In The Fresh Watter River

[@CurrentlyFishing]

Precisely for days like these I like having cameras on multiple ppl haha It just makes me feel better to know it also happens to you 😂

[@YakFishField]

Hahaha yeah man, we ALL have those days. Anybody that tells you otherwise is a liar.

[@loganbrill6849]

Love it bro! Haha the rich folk heli onto that rock bro 😂, mean slay up brother, defenitly need to get on the those kayaks before dawn tho man! Dunno if it's the same back home but it goes off down under. P.s today was not your day my bro!

[@YakFishField]

Yeahhhh we’ve been getting late starts. Didn’t matter last episode, but it did for me in this one. Sunrise and sunset definitely the best.

[@thebestkinds1g]

OW THAT SUNBURN

[@YakFishField]

Yeah. Aaron doesn’t know how to use sunscreen

[@paddleandhook]

Marty can probably avoid having to shop for an ugly sweater for the Christmas party-he can just go to his closet and pick from a number of items lol

[@YakFishField]

Hahaha so true

[@Hodgebros]

Nice video

[@ChristopherT1]

Hey Robert! Great job on the latest videos! They mean more than you know especially in these trying times. I know you’re busy AF but when you can could you talk about how you rig out your PFD. What’s in the pockets ect...

[@YakFishField]

I can do that. It’s the NRS Chinook OS (offshore) and it’s my favorite one. I’ll include that in a future vid

[@anythingthatbites3368]

nice vid bro their all ways good

[@YakFishField]

Thanks bro

[@tigernguyencali5870]

Good fishing

[@YakFishField]

Always out there

[@cathy40]

I would like to see you catch a lot of fish on the umbrella rig

[@YakFishField]

I have a video where I did that on a Texas river from a few months back

[@paulshearer9140]

Hey Rob, next time you go snapper fishing in NZ or Aus try using your Catch Beta Bug.....absolute snapper candy. ;)

[@rapinfo13]

Snapper mostly bite on bait and it’s pretty weird but the small ones 1-3 kg just taste better

[@YakFishField]

Smaller fish usually taste better and we didn’t use bait at all. Did great. Much more fun on plastics in my opinion

[@cozab5487]

Nah mate snapper absolutely love lures and especially soft plastics! When they aren't mooching on the mussels and urchins they are hunting live prey, you'd be surprised how hard snapper will crack a lure when in hunting mode!

[@shahrizalatam7759]

good job bos.....

[@YakFishField]

Thanks 🙏🏼

[@texassalt8999]

You keep me from getting ANY work done! Damn you!

[@devildoc2235]

Dude! Awesome series! So I’m digging the spinning rod. I found one if your videos where you said it was a major craft rod but I can’t find the thread and I can’t remember the model. When you get a chance can you post the model you guys are using, thanks!

[@Angkol]

very nice ..😍😍

[@YakFishField]

Thank you! Cheers!

It be like that bro. I remember being outfished by my buddy and it was his first time. I told him to do exactly what I was doing. I got skunked badly that day, left with nada!

[@YakFishField]

Yeah. It happens to everyone

[@YakFishField]

Hahaha thanks so much man

[@sailairaee]

To go fishing on boat is my dream God knows when I'll be the there and yeah I love fishing on plastic lure

[@KayakFishingCorkIreland]

Another great video. That radio overboard reminded me to ask a question. Every time I see you with a radio it's in and out of a pocket, under your leg, under your seat and never tired to you PFD. Why not?

[@YakFishField]

Because I don’t always want it attached to my PFD. Usually it’s in the pocket of my NRS Chinook OS life jacket. But I use it on the boat and elsewhere and I like to minimize the number of cords/leashes/lines attached to my body. More to get tangled up in if I flip.

[@KayakFishingCorkIreland]

@@YakFishField each to his own. Mine is always tied to the shoulder of my PFD on a short leash so that if I end up in the water or separate from the kayak I will always have it and my PLB is also on a leash but in a zipped pocket. On the tangle side I don't leash rods and tools. Let them sink.

[@jackvoodoo2900]

Fishing the one thing you can still do and maintain social distancing.

Especially in a kayak

What was the bait casting combo the guy in the yellow kayak was using? It looked like it was really easy cast all day on the yak. I believe Brooks Beatty?

[@TryABaconSlice]

@@YakFishField damn! I've been fishing NZ for at least 20 years and have never managed a snapper that size, to get one on his first trip is amazing. Although Great barrier and the gulf in general is one of the best snapper fisheries in the country

What is the purpose of this crazy fishing you catch and let go.

[@YakFishField]

We kept many fish, but we caught more than we can legally keep. It is called “catch and release” and also called “not breaking the law.”

Why bother the fish if u just gonna throw it back how would u like some other species doing that to u if u don’t need the food leave the fish in peace

[@YakFishField]

We kept plenty of fish mate... did you not see us eating them at the end? We just kept the ones we needed. And besides, it's called sport fishing, and it's a multi, multi billion dollar industry. Millions around the world enjoy it. If you don't, no worries brother. If you don't like the content, leave the content creator in peace and move along. The Play was free my man.
