Mikey. I live in the US. I have never been to Australia. I love your videos! They make me envious of your lifestyle. I know you’re not a rich man financially; but you are clearly wealthy where it matters. Your lifestyle, family, friends, and adventures force me to realize that you don’t have to be one of these Uber-rich KZbin influencers to be happy. I hope you become Uber-rich from your content, you deserve it! But it’s so refreshing to see a normal guy, having fun, living life making relatable content for those of us who love the outdoors. A bucket list item for me now is to come fishing with you and catch my first barramundi. God willing, that dream comes true. Keep being you and making content that is a pleasure to watch!

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

Thanks for the kind words mate. I love hearing from people that watch my videos. But when they are from the other side of the world… that’s just wild.

[@GrahamSmyth-um6uh]

Classic MIKEY that bit with the kids so cool

[@johnrolleston9376]

Great work with it all, it’s a breath of fresh air with no Hollywood acting just raw footage and normal talk. Keep it up

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

My biggest aim when I’m making my videos is to just be myself. Thanks for watching mate. 👍🏼

[@Buddy89538]

Loving the vids mate. On a serious note don’t ever think you have to give up time with the family mate. Filming and editing is time consuming but we understand if you need a break every now and again. Family’s number 1 mate

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

I completely agree mate. Whole heartedly… but I’ve put myself into a position where my wife and I have invested everything into this KZbin channel, and if I don’t consistently upload KZbin videos, I don’t get paid. And the videos I make that get all the views are down in the gulf. So for the time being, I need to sacrifice a bit of family time. But I definitely make up for it when I’m home. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Greetings from the BIG SKY of Montana. Your sunrise is my sunset.

Next run of merch needs a codfather shirt - cod with the lip ‘jewellery’ grippers

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

Hahah. I like it mate.

[@terryharwood1969]

Awesome session bloke 😂😂😂😂😂

[@stevenwylie2060]

Love the bloke comment ,ya not me mate ,just a bloke 🖕👍🇭🇲

[@stevematalone2512]

Another great episode miss getting big muddies from Arnhem land or broome areas

[@barraboy7626]

Great vlog Mikey, it was obvious there was a lot of time and hard work to stich this ep together, thx for sharing. It's always great to get home hey? Well done too Ash for wrestling the muddies for MC. Cheers🍻🦀🐊🎣 PS: Loving the GFTG poddies too....

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

It’s such a mind game this bloody KZbin thing… the last 2 videos I’ve uploaded I put soooo much effort into. And they are my worst performing videos this year. It’s all good though. Just means I need to work harder. 💪🏼👍🏼🤠

[@barraboy7626]

​@@MikeyCunninghamFishingYou can never tell hey Mikey?? As long as you still enjoying making them that's all that matters, and i think that is the case as it comes through the Vlogs buddy. As you rightly pointed out, it's costly though. Don't forget to throw in your prep time for a trip, and snippets of your travel to and from King Ash. Even mods on your trailer/boat, around town back in Darwin etc etc. I follow ATC, and I love all his added extras he throws in. Keep pushing mate. 🍻

[@craigdean6249]

cheers mikey!

[@NQwater]

Its wonderful and a bugger when the kids like the mud crabs.... you should teach them to use the tip of the leg to help pull the rest of the meat of the legs....

[@rogerdudra178]

Proper cold is what I see every year around here. It's warm there, compared to here.

[@seanyuke3249]

Another beauty Mikey. To paraphrase Andy, keep 'em comin' along. Yeah bastard fish spikes. Had an infected thumb from a black spot tusky spike in WA. Soaked it a few times in hot water and dettol, as hot as you can stand it (which ends up near boiling) and got an eighth inch long spike out from beside my thumb nail, eleven days later back in FNQ. Cleared up in 48 hours then.

[@colinevans3285]

Great video mate

[@raptorlures]

Great vlog mate, crabs looked tasty 👍🏼🍽️

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

Thanks mate... they were pretty awesome. Not that there was much left for me in the end. haha.

[@CaptainRedBeardarrr]

Mate, you just keep putting up real stuff!

[@Paul-L125]

Thanks 👍

[@TexaTim]

Hello from SE Florida....love the vids, Thanks!

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

Good to hear from you mate. One of my favourite comedians is from Florida. Cam Patterson. 👍🏼 Also I’m a massive LeBron fan. So his time with Miami in the “big 3” era with Wade and Bosh was epic. 🇺🇸👍🏼

[@jase3010]

your the man mikey!! love ya content mate, keep me comin!!

[@landseahuntingntls8228]

The kids have u sorted out Mikey 😂, little legends

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

Yea they are definitely a handful. But love them so much. Always miss them heaps while I’m down in the Gulf.

[@Vanningtheland]

Awesome mate 👌🇦🇺

[@rhayjhosie7443]

I felt that cod spine when it got you it brings back memories for me lol.

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

I’m so big, I always make the fish I catch look way smaller than what they actually are. This bloody cod was like holding a bag of cement powder. And it’s full weight coming down on my thumb like that… crikey it hurt. I didn’t notice it too much at the time… but looking back at the footage afterwards I could see when I was “testing” and squeezing the crabs, I couldn’t use my thumb. Haha. Too excited in the moment to worry about the pain.

[@TexaTim]

Bucket list is a Barramundi fishing trip. I'll trade a Tarpon trip for a Barramundi trip. Very expensive Air fair and a bit of jet lag is all it takes!

[@chrisdoran7596]

Congrats mate 2️⃣6️⃣0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ subs🤩🎣🐟👍🤙👌

[@craigtomkinson2837]

Cool ep and nice crabs

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

Thanks mate.

[@robsaron2562]

Love watching the vids. Keep them coming Mud crab are a favourite. What the dimensions of those pots. Though they were just for the pro's I've got round type, are these legal up there. Or the square ones better. Cheerz bloke 🍺

[@Nocommenttocops]

more mud crab catch n cooks :) lovee em..

[@The_Loon_70]

Making me jealous with those muddies ya barstad.

[@davebarns1]

Good on ya brother 👍🏻

[@stuartvincent544]

What a magical sunrise, looks amazing. Being from Melbourne, single digit temperatures are the norm this time of year for us 😅

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

Yea with the temperature, it’s what you get used to I reckon mate. Hot weather is something we are very used to… so when it drops below 20 here all the locals start wearing jumpers.

[@padsmm]

New Boat Mikey? Gotta love a renegade

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

My dad's boat mate. Flanders 2. Haha.

[@user-wb7hs8tx5j]

Amazing job mate 👍

[@SaltyOlez]

On ya Mikey Yewwww

Cheers

[@otklfnz]

Choice bro.

[@jazzabrett4076]

lets go mikey

[@leighhickson1625]

We love watching you and the king ash crew. But I have a question, do you get sea sick driving the boat yourself or just being a passenger?

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

I don’t get sick while moving. Both as driver and passenger. Just when we are sitting there still. Usually. But sometimes not. It’s so weird.

[@Oscarcat2212]

Mate anything stab that hits a joint or bone. Get treated. You need the thumb for fishing and baiting 🤣

[@HaydenTille]

Is that a new boat Mikey, looking good 🤘

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

Haha. I wish mate. It’s my dads boat “Flanders 2”

[@BillKennedy-or4ot]

Good stuff, maybe drop in one day and say howdy 👍👍

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

Ya never know mate … where you at?

[@stevepierce3509]

Mikey, you hang out with the all time Territory Mud Crabbers in King Ash, Mad Mullet and the likes and why have they not taught you to grab crab and tie them off cuzzy Bro ? 🤪 I'm pissing myself laughing Legend, in a way not taking the piss from you. Bloody things get angry buy hey.

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

Haha. Yea mate. It’s a bit of a running joke that I have purposely neglected from learning how to tie crabs. It’s the worst part of their job. Sitting there for an hour or 2 after work sitting there tying crabs. Wrecking your back. So if I knew how to tie… I would be obligated to jump in and help. Haha. I’ve told Ash I will learn in 2025 if it’s a good crabbing season.

[@stevepierce3509]

[@rodashford1151]

Goldspot cod, better eating than trout just not as easy to fillet lol

[@leannecase7539]

Hey Mikey I have fished the Macarther River from a houseboat years ago. We want to do it again can you recommend a company please. Cheers

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

There is only one mate. They are based at King Ash Bay but they are called “Borroloola Houseboats”. There used to be another company, but Borroloola Houseboats bought both of their boats. You can find them on Facebook, they have a website too I reckon. If you contact them, you’ll speak to Kylie, Scotty or Damo… I can highly recommend. 👍🏼

[@leannecase7539]

@@MikeyCunninghamFishing cheers mate. I might see you on the water next year

[@chrissettree-bb9ih]

Smaller hole or grinder cuts thin blade

[@ntbarrafishing]

Sounds like a perfect opportunity for some local companies to get behind you brus! 👍 #AirnorthAU @AirnorthAU #airnorthau Don't know if the owner is eccentric but surely you could work something out and hitch a ride every now and again? 👌When Mikey chooses to fly he flys with Airnorth. 🤣

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

I like what you’re saying mate. Flying in and out of the McArthur River mine every now and then would be a dream. 👍🏼
