Marlin from stealth fishing kayak off the Gold Coast.

[@maormesilati1385]

Dem, 10 years ago i started watching you videos i remember you had like 1k sub's. I'm so glad those numbers popped up, you deserve it 😁😘amazing videos and fisherman. keep fishing!!

[@eeeman00]

You look 16 years old in this vid! Seriously though, you've inspired me to buy a kayak and now it's my favorite hobby. I've lost 30lbs doing it for 1 year.

[@jamesbenz3228]

Killin' it since the first video posted. What a legend.

[@drdubberruckie2346]

Great effort mate, that day won't be forgotten👍

[@jestione]

And you let him go....nice one brother.

[@rokkitkit]

For sure, no need to keep a marlin. They are very impressive fish up close!

[@fishmanfishman6511]

AWESOME CATCH! You were so relaxed! Incredible. Glad you practiced CATCH AND RELEASE!! 👍

[@douglasfernandes5801]

Incredible since the first vid!

[@badasmichael]

crazy to see how far you have come 9 years on KZbin man respect love the content watch everyday old uploads hyped for the next 1 legend keep up the amazing work brother 👍🤝

[@rokkitkit]

Yea I saw them once I got home! Maybe some early Spanish or Spotted Mackerel... maybe Wahoo. On the original footage you can see that there was a decent school there. Would have made few more passes if I knew. Funny, thats actually what I was targeting, but I'll take the Marlin :)

[@rokkitkit]

Thanks Mate, I got my kayak secondhand but the the distributor is in Yatla "Australian Kayak Specialists" Dennis is the man and is really helpful. Most of the fibreglass fishing skis are shipped over from South Africa.

[@rokkitkit]

Thanks! yea they look to be good fish... next time! The marlin was last friday the 30th of August.

[@niclansdown6895]

So chilled when you're winding in, like it's only a marlin hahaha! Great video!

[@rokkitkit]

Ha, yea I think i was still shocked it had taken my bait :)

[@patrickpeterson11]

10 years ago mate, time flies !

[@rokkitkit]

Wow! Yea I haven’t looked back at this videos for a long time. Still hacking away at it😅👍

[@dunkelhaus]

11 hours ago, what the hell 😂 so I wasn't the only one to come check it out now for some reason

[@Bandito071]

@@dunkelhaus haha, this was the first time i had seen someone catch a fish from a kayak offshore, the idea of it blew my mind. Ive been a big fan of Rod ever since. Thought id come back and take another look since its been a good few years since i watched it the first time.

[@ReelTeaserProduction]

Good stuff. Looks like its going to be a bumper season.

[@davidfraga2845]

Amazing video i live in madeira island and in the blue marlin season we have giants the smallest i caught this season was 650 pounds you should fish here one day

[@RepubLICKa]

Binge watching 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@jaydengaffey9423]

Mate I just got a hobie outback for my birthday the other day I'm hooked on yak fishing for life now

[@rokkitkit]

Nice one mate, good luck on the new yak

[@bildad1234]

That was awesome! Pity there was someone around to take a pic of you with it. Congrats!

[@ReelTeaserProduction]

Good stuff mate. Would of been interesting to see what those other fish were. When was this video shot?

[@adambaradel5536]

Awesome vide were abouts did you buy you kayak from

[@danny88dh]

The oldest and the newest videos 1 right after the last. Yup rod man you look so young in this video

[@chrismcnally243]

your a legend mate! love the vids

[@rokkitkit]

Thanks for checking out the channel mate!

[@themoojuice89]

what is that at top left from 3: 49 to 3: 51 and then top right from 3: 52 ?

[@ReelTeaserProduction]

Looks like its shaping up to be a bumper season

[@adambaradel5536]

thanks was that at palm beach reef

[@JAKEBrakeModel94]

How big of a role do you feel a depth finder has in kayak fishing?i have a kayak and am considering getting a depth finder.

[@rokkitkit]

JAKEBrakeModel94 I use my sounder all the time, this video is a while back so I only had a simple greyscale unit but it played a big role on the day. First it allowed me to find Iive bait while trolling around. Without the sounder I would have had to go to the bait reef and hope I was on the spot. Then just before hook up I saw some nice action on the sounder so decided to stop and let the live bait sink while I checked the dead bait. I may never had stopped there without the sounder giving me hints. These days I have a Lowrance Combo unit with GPS which is great, I mark anything that looks interesting that may be worth going back to. If fishing with jigs or plastics I wouldn't even bother with out the sounder. The new sounder allows me to build up a detailed map of my local fishing spots and really know what I'm paddling over marking all the hot spots... So yea I am pretty big fan!

[@vash347]

how does this only have 200 views?????????

[@rokkitkit]

Ha this is my oldest vid on the channel! No people watching back then😆

[@vash347]

Dude, you have great videos. People are coming. I watch all your new stuff. The only thing I would say if you want to get new viewers. Giving an intro on the setup is super important... It makes people relate to how you fish... Giving advice as well... I'll watch either way as I have been, but I have noticed that in your videos that isn't something you address too much...

[@CARNIVORBROS]

RoKKiT KiT look how time passed by.. Who would thought it eh? Great video mate!

[@nativechicken4427]

Now it's 6 years ago and I'm here. Your place is so abundant with fish, I even catch a fish like the size of my ring finger. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video.

[@Nicholastriase]

Damn dude nice! Im 30 mins away from the gold coast! i wish we could go fishing together! How much did your kayak cost?

[@rokkitkit]

+NickyTV Cheers mate, my kayak is around $3000 new but you can find ones second hand for around $2000ish. If your ever keen to get out and meet some locals (me included) that fish around Plam Beach then launching from 9th or 7th ave is the way to go. There's usually some one launching from there at first light on good weather days.

[@Nicholastriase]

Cool thanks man nice to know!!

[@MrAjjrpighunter]

how deep a water did you catch this marlin in?

[@rokkitkit]

Hi Aaron, it was in 25 meters, so pretty shallow.

[@MrAjjrpighunter]

good work, loved watching your videos and the amount of fish you get so close to shore. do you have certain spots you fish at? or just all along the GC?

[@rokkitkit]

+Aaron Jennings Thanks Mate, fish most of the popular reefs around the Gold Coast up to around 8km out. Also try to get away to different areas up and down the East coast when possible. Not enough though :)

[@FishingAdventuresDubai]

Aaron Jennings wow 25 meters is pretty deep for us. The maximum depth we have here in around Persian Gulf is about 11.12 meters no matter how far out you go. That's why we don't have big fish like Marlins,tunas, amber jacks, mahi, GT etc . Awsome catch bro

[@sarbaazchabahar]

You should have jumped in the water for a sword fight🤪🎣✌🐟🤺

[@Arnoldz07]

Wow

[@madmullet1990]

Awesome!!!

[@jordanm1186]

Holy shit...are there other Marlin swimming in the background in the underwater shot that starts just before 4 minutes?!?!

[@rokkitkit]

Yea there is some big ones cruising around... I thing either mackerel or maybe wahoo.

[@joselitobautista4775]

Why not eat marlin

[@rokkitkit]

Iv tried it in Hawaii... and I know Its the same as taking any other fish when it really comes down to it... But they are a very impressive looking fish... I guess its similar to the same reason I don't eat a lot of animals... like dog... I know deep down Im still taking a life thats as valid as the next. Its always a tricky one to answer.
