NAME A BETTER FISH | THREADFIN SALMON

I dare you to NAME A BETTER FISH! Okay so it definitely comes down to your personal preference, but Threadfin Salmon is my favourite go to species. They're not always easy to catch or find, but when you hook one.... that's where it's at! They are just an insane powerhouse of a fish cutting water, burning drag and turning sporadically. If that doest get your heart racing I don't know what else will. Enjoy the footage I've put together guys.

Mate - great vid again! Next time the wind is blowing & tide is right I’ll have to head up there👍

Thanks mate 🙏🏻 yeah definitely

21:45 "i dont like chancing these fish" he says after losing a pb because he kept the weak hooks on the lure 😂

Bloody hypocrite I am aye 😂😂 ya got me

[@xuejiaoxu6778]

We have been cleaning up for threadys around goodna aswell lately there are fish everywhere.

[@BrisVegasFishing]

Good to hear mate. Just catch and release or you been keeping a few for a feed too?

[@craighuxley3803]

Great video mate. Viper or Owner ST66 from now on ok!! I know its money but if you get a GPSMAP series unit you can screen record which makes much better to put in your videos.

[@BrisVegasFishing]

Hahaha I promise, no more stockys 😂🤞 Yeah I definitely should’ve invested in the gpsmap series.

[@nikolasperisteridis222]

Hey great video Where abouts were you fishing in the river I didn’t recognise where you were cheers buddy

[@BrisVegasFishing]

Thanks mate. It was just up past goodna. But there’s heaps about the system lately

[@nikolasperisteridis222]

Cheers was that around 10m under your boat where you were been trying for them at the port no luck

[@BrisVegasFishing]

10 metres out from the boat. The port has definitely been tougher lately.

[@mattiamiecchi18]

🔥🔥

[@cameronmccarroll9549]

Great vid mate ! That’s some good thready fishing ! Quick question , do you think you would still get the same bite with 70lbs leader ? Or 60 ?

[@BrisVegasFishing]

Thanks mate appreciate it. 🙏🏻 It’s hard to say with threadys whether leader size makes a difference, cause you’ve got quite dirty water too. But I think in some circumstances they can definitely tell. Sorry that probably doesn’t really answer your question, if anything just leaves you wondering more 😅

[@cameronmccarroll9549]

@@BrisVegasFishing hahahah you have done exactly that 😂 good stuff bud 👍 might have to do a video of you on a good bite like that , and swap out to a stupid heavy leader and see what happens 🤷🏽‍♂️ I think in that water there is no way they are seeing that lure , would have to be all from the feelers you would think . But they do look like they are reacting to it like they have seen it on the live ..

[@pingpong808]

Do you folks eat them there? We love to eat their relative(Pacific Threadfin) here in Hawaii, and it was considered the “Fish of Kings” in the ancient times. Wish our threadfin got as big as yours though.

[@BrisVegasFishing]

They’re a great table fish. Taste amazing, but they are difficult to fillet with bone nodes along their spines and fins. They can get trully massive over here.

[@darrenwinsor8900]

You're giving Jeremy Wade a run for his money there.....Josh Charles : "River Monsters".

Im the same man i hate it when they get gone with crap in there mouth, all these people way too light gear and i have mates that can only granny knot tackle seen it happen too many times

It’s just an FG knot mate 🤙 the best knot

Nice vid mate, I’m still trying to work out these bastards! Haha…how’s the Haines going? Any update on the build?

[@BrisVegasFishing]

Hey thanks mate 🙏🏻 I’m hoping to get into the Haines soon, got some moving around to do and free up some space. But this winter I’ll be starting the build 👌 I really wanna see your Brisbane river series continue, you’ve gotta crack a thready in the yak 👊

[@farcanalfishing]

@@BrisVegasFishing yeah nice one, I look forward to seeing what you do with it…I have caught an 80’s thready a bit further in that spot 😜 but decided not to post it…I should get back into the series but limited with fishing time lately 😩

[@BrisVegasFishing]

@@farcanalfishing 😂😂😂 wouldn’t wanna ruin the spot hey 😉 that’s a good size thready, still fun outta the yak anyway.

[@darrenwinsor8900]

I'd be going back up to the Northern Territory if I were you better fishing,much much cheaper and I'd come with you if I could.

[@xaviercampbell4818]

where are you fishing because i swear there is nowhere to fish in Brisbane

[@BrisVegasFishing]

😂😂😂 it’s definitely brissy. Just in the upper reaches. There’s so much untouched parts of the system, but it can be challenging to find fish at times.

[@MooseaPov]

Itd almost be fresh where you are there wouldnt it 😂😂

[@BrisVegasFishing]

Hahaha well we haven’t had too much rain, but it might deter some people 😂

[@MooseaPov]

@@BrisVegasFishing Those threadies were pretty silver too i noticed

[@BrisVegasFishing]

@@MooseaPov silver from all the fresh 😉 I do love the change in colours that they exhibit.

What size head unit are you running for the live scope please?

[@BrisVegasFishing]

It’s just one of the 105SV models mate 🤙

[@davidraguse2106]

@@BrisVegasFishing how do you rate it ?

[@BrisVegasFishing]

@@davidraguse2106 it’s good picture quality is awesome, processing power is a bit slow (takes a while to turn on) and I wouldn’t say it’s user friendly. It takes a while to dial in your settings it’s not super simple to just push a couple buttons and have it dialled. I still use a humminbird for my side imaging as it’s way more user friendly.

I have a helix 10 , chasing something for live scope ?​@@BrisVegasFishing

[@davidraguse2106]

​@@BrisVegasFishing is the water normally that colour in that system or is it rain affected?

[@darrenwinsor8900]

I wasn't rooting for the fish...I know how it feels to lose a big fish...it's not fun.

[@BrisVegasFishing]

😂 yeah it’s painful. I wasn’t super worried though, I’d been pretty fortunate and had a feeling I was going to catch more 😅

[@davidraguse2106]

Is that waterway local to your area ?

I only live 15 minutes away from there aye. It’s my actual ‘local’

@@BrisVegasFishing sounds like there's a fair population of them. What is your thoughts on how that has come about?

[@darrenwinsor8900]

Back in the 70s and 80s we didn't use leader,we used wire trace....what's changed?

[@LankyLarrikin]

Can't really throw a lure with wire trace.

[@darrenwinsor8900]

@@LankyLarrikin we did,and quite successfully given the amount of fish we have caught over the years on a rod with a wire trace.

[@LankyLarrikin]

@@darrenwinsor8900 yeah right mate, I suppose a light guage trace wouldn't hurt especially with the dirty brissy water 🤟

[@craighuxley3803]

Yeah remember the days up in Aurukun using 12” wire trace. Funny thing its the last thing I would think of doing now days.

[@darrenwinsor8900]

For a fish that doesn't have that big paddle tail,like a Jew for example,they go bloody hard don't they.

[@BrisVegasFishing]

Weird hey. Even though it’s forked, it is far bigger than a paddle tailed fish. Powerful like a tuna 💁‍♂️

[@Side85Winder]

Footage of the release for 2 fish was the exact same..... are you hiding something? Feels dishonest watching the video showing doubled up footage.

[@BrisVegasFishing]

Apologies, I’ve probably stuffed up in the edit with putting clips in and doubled up. Incredibly observant on your behalf though, definitely not trying to hide anything on purpose 😂

[@blakehatcher697]

I love that spot gotta keep it secret tho lol

[@BrisVegasFishing]

😂 Cats outta the bag now 🙊 the heat will die off again when people don’t catch one straight away. They aren’t exactly an easy fish to catch 😅
