12 Hour Island Fishing Challenge - How Many Species Can I Catch?

this one was so good!! but it hurt so much :( put down below what fish do you think is was??
thank you love use

[@markkrueger917]

Hi Luke, I cringe every time you tighten the drag while fighting a fish. Set the drag correctly once and start fishing. If it runs, do not panic… let it run and tire. This is why you are breaking lines and pulling hooks. If you are always getting spooled you simply need bigger gear. Get a couple of TLD20’s on trolling rods for the big Spaniards etc. Finally, operate the motor as a last resort. It is a distraction from fighting the fish and you run the risk of cutting the line on the prop or the direction of the boat actually working against you. Once hooked up and fighting the fish, kill the motor and focus on that fish and nothing else.

Recommend keeping hold of the rod mate, you’ll catch more concentrating on one rod then having 4 out that your not watching, especially in snaggy areas where you end up losing all ya gear mate

[@lukefalzon]

yes 💯 brother your right with that I will try that next time my friend

[@DJPPuppy]

Luke when fishing around rocks and bommies, can I suggest using a dropper rig. The hook will sit up off the bottom giving less of a chance of a snag

Less Rays too

[@steveirwin_8276]

I understand the disappointment of losing a big fish after a long fight, but I find it much more engaging to watch content that accurately represents real fishing. It gets so boring watching creators reel in awesome fish in every single video. Watching someone not catch anything or lose good fish makes the moments of success much more exciting and enjoyable, just like fishing itself. If we caught dream fish every time we went out, it would become boring! Keep up the great work, Luke! Your fans from Victoria miss you!

Hey Luke awesome vid bro! When I’m out fishing in nz, I usually run 80lb braid cause it’s still quite thin & a 50lb fluorocarbon leader when I’m trolling, and I attach the 2 with a swivel because I don’t know how to tie an fg…. On the same swivel setup without re-tying once, I’ve caught 12 decent albacore tuna including a 24 pounder. That rig has never let me down, have never dropped a fish on it. Good luck my bro !!!

Great video Luke still feel bad after watching that fish fall off. I hope u can get something even bigger

[@samuelhfishing]

Damn that was an unlucky loss on a few big fish. Just to let you know that if you tighten your drag too much, it may put too much pressure on the placement of where the hook is in the fishes mouth and pull hooks, and it can put pressure on your knots which will make them more likely to fail. Good going out there Luke, caught some nice fish and got some good hits 👍

What an awesome day fishing Luke. I know it's frustrating but this is a learning experience. Maybe learn a better way to tie the FG knot. You have lost a few great fish to this one weakness in your tackle. KZbin has some great FG knot tiers. Watch a few and choose one that seems the best. As you are finding out, it is crucial to your knot arsenal. Keep strong mate.

cheers mate thank you so much bro I will keep that in mind man

You should look at changing your trace around the rocks, really like to help you out. Nice to see the real side of fishing it’s not always about catching fish keep it up mate 💪🏻

[@lukefalzon]

cheers man thank you I will keep that in mind bro

[@adamriordan1051]

Mate, no need to be on the floor having a sad about the outcome. Big trevally. The outcome is your learning experience and your progress is how you respond to it. If you want to reef fish use the boat, pull up on the fish and drop straight down to them. Casting out is for beaches or flat bottom creeks without coral bottom. You will always loose your gear if you do. Casting up current so it lands at your feet is the only reason to do so. The second fish you got is a peacock cod. Coral trout have a flat angular square back tail and cod a round one. If you’re keen on a mackerel before it starts to cool off you are best finding some good current out the back of the islands in some closer to 20 meters water until it cools off more and they do the run in close. Hope you work your situation out it would be great to see you reach your goal. And the Barra , go to a creek mouth of a creek that does have some tidal run in the later quarter to the build up to the moon with some livies on the incoming maybe a little on the out. That is a Barra ticket. Remembering the loss is your next drive and it make the effort more rewarding. Don’t dwell with the loose comments mate recognise the mistake be conscious of what happens next time and go with a plan around it. Be critical of your self, not harsh and Enjoy your progress. Its a beautiful experience that we take for granted later.

Hey @lukefalzon THAT WAS A SHARK BROTHER HEAD UP 100000% SHARK the way it fought, everything, Spanish take longer fast runs man. Like it would burn your hand holding the spool if that was a Spanish. I can all but garuntee you that was a shark. 1 final tip, how many twist FG do you tie? I tie 22 personally. And I finish with 2 single half hitches, and then at the end, 1 DOUBLE half hitch, (wrap the tail around twice before pulling the half hitch tight). Lubricate BEFORE you put the knot under tension, SLIDE your “over and under’s” together nice and snug and tight, and the very last thing after the final double half hitch, wrap the leader around 1 hand 3 times and the braid around the other hand 3 times and pull tight!

Luke, it looks like you’re not tightening your fg’s properly. An fg shouldn’t give out like that! Try and use some cylindrical knot tighteners. The braid should go clear on the leader because it’s so tight, and ‘bite’ into the leader.

Should be using shelled prawns. Also get onto using "bait mate" or "bait buddy". It will help jeep your bait on the hook and stop the smaller fish from stealing it.
