Giant Lures Giant Fish

[@seancraven2361]

Epic fish, I know you didn't target it as a Grouper, but on your casting rod with a lure, it's definitely a lifetime achievement award.

[@mattcergogna3066]

Great to see the you fella enjoying himself and the linguine looks great mate. Keep doing you Dom 👍🍺

[@Bretto-kg4uk]

Hi Matt great content buddy i love the crocs as well mate awesome creature, i was told to put a bit of mangrove root/branch in with your live crabs to calm them down and stop them from fighting/damaging themselves. Cheers

[@tee-jaygarland8733]

Once again Matt great video, love the variety of fishing available in your area it has inspired me to move to the area 🤘🏽

[@sebsadventures41]

Nice work Matty!

[@timb8970]

What rod and reel combo are you using? Great video. Hello from Gilbert Arizona USA!

[@jordannaumov]

Looks like HB Live got the flick for Garmin. Team Garmin all the way 💪🏼

[@yakoobjunior9631]

That was absolutely insane fishing mate. Really enjoyed watching it 🤙🏼🤙🏼🎣

[@joangeddes380]

Awesome video insane fishing and loved seeing the crocodile 🐊🥰🤗💯😍👍🏻👋🏻🐟🐠🎣🐊

[@Westozzie-m8i]

Sick. That's a proper test of tackle.... to land a fish like that bulldozer is fish in its finest 👌 big congrats

[@BJT841]

That's crazy. Epic vid mate, well done.

[@markshark7521]

Great stuff Matt technology has come a long way these days, groupers are cool have caught small ones in the channel that one was a beast! Tight lines 🦈

[@shalveenlal9934]

And the genius is back ... was waiting badly for this notification ❤❤

[@adrianlaeuppi7719]

Congratulations Matty on the wonderful fish, I am planning something similar in September but on European Seabass...

[@chrisnucum79]

That's Awesome Matt! Been watching all your videos from the Philippines!

[@victorching6278]

You released a huge Jack and Grouper. I am amazed at your river system. Where are your folks fishing?

[@jordontakchi2027]

Haha brother I’m wrapped you finally got a net for the boat. Give me anxiety everytime you put your hands in the water. 🤣🤣 great vids bruv 🤙🏾

[@PelagicPursuit89]

hahaha yeah it wasn't one of those mistakes I needed to learn from haha

[@nahee10]

Still putting the rod setups in description?? That thing was massive

[@PreeettyKeen]

I thought you needed a Tiagra 130 to catch Grouper. Haha

[@blakehutchison-uk6vw]

how heavy is ur td black bait cast whats the line rating

[@maplebacon5748]

when crabbing if you bring multiple buckets and put the crabs into different buckets its easier to sort. learnt that from a second gen crabber👌👌 loving the content would love too see you come fish fitzory.

[@danialbickford8518]

Love the commentary matty "he looked 130 on the screen" 😂. Awesome vid as always keep up the great work

[@PelagicPursuit89]

probably more 140 haha

[@hoovs313]

Great stuff, cheers Matty!!

[@-dystopic-]

Cracking Barra mate!

[@MrWeezy1fbaby]

That huge grouper was AWESOME!!!

[@GrahamSmyth-um6uh]

Surprised Matt's back didn't go pop or go skiing

[@Aucklandsaltwaterflyfishing]

Solid fishes nice work m8

[@salt_affinity0183]

Without coming across as someone having a genuine dig at you, my question is out of interest more than anything. I'm north of you and worked out in about 5 mins where you are catching those fish in this clip and the previous one you released. Just buy looking at that point and hills in the back ground. It's super unfortunate how good google earth is these days when you know a rough location. I know you earn a living from youtube so a like and share is worth $$ to you. I enjoy your clips and find you pretty doen to earth and easy to watch. I hate the frothing brah clowns and people who have been given a good old spoon feeding from people like yourself then go out and make clips. Anyway after listening to you talking about how you have been fishing solid for two months and have found the most satisfying fishery at your front door and at risk for blowing the spot due to landmarks you won't put anything out for a few months as you want to enjoy it some more. You also stated that you do realise it's going to probably ruine it for locals that most likely already fish it, im genuinely interested in your thought process and feelings or maybe decisons of having something to enjoy for years to come, to take your kids to and watch them catch giants or ruine a spot for those that have probably fished it for years all for financial gain, a few more followers, likes and subscribes. I know you are probably going to get a bit upset about the question but please take it as a genuine inquiry into your thoughts on the whole youtube gig and the pressure to perform and put up clips catching trophy fish. I have no personal attachment to where you fish either, so thats not why I'm asking you this. I can see you definitely have some sort of respect for other anglers as you definitely identified the downfalls in this clip of what releasing the footage will do. Cheers.

[@Клд_Спиннинг]

Вы правы... Люди снимающие видео для KZbin очень сильно портят обстановку для завсегдатаев этих мест, для местных рыбаков.

[@PelagicPursuit89]

totally respect the question mate. in previous years I've done a lot of fishing in the blue water 100km+ out and find all my own areas so no one could ever be upset with me about ruining an area. now that I'm fishing locally I don't target schools of fish I target single big swimming fish and most importantly Ill happily show people where I fish they still need to put in the hard work to know which tide, moon phase, water quality...etc to fish to actually get a bite out of those fish. when I was talking about releasing footage, there has been multiple people film the area before me and post multiple videos before me. its just at a very particular time the fish are biting in a certain area and then they will stop and spread out again. while this is happening ill hold onto footage and let myself and locals fish it while that's happening and once the bite stops ill release the footage. I actually encourage people to try and go target the fish I'm targeting in the exact same area because 99% of them won't be able to catch the fish and will appreciate and respect a lot more of what I do. I totally understand I'm in it for the long haul and do try my hardest to respect other fisherman and also my own future, ill never keep everyone happy but I do try. hope this answers your question

[@Skittlesfishing]

Prossy is well Known for biggggg Barra everyone here knows it just like the fitzy a quick google search will show but knowing the rest of the details is what makes the different I know many many people who have fished both rivers never to catch a 1m+ Barra so putting in the hrs still makes the difference

[@dante7228]

Making spots public is a major topic to all anglers (but also hunters, gatheres and even tourist)... It spoils the sites, sometimes it's just a short hype, sometimes it's forever. But that's inevitable in the age of social media, information spread around...

[@Nobodybaby78]

Inernet drastically ruining fishing. Period

[@sweatyjester]

If I know the system then there are more crocs per square metre there than anywhere else in the country. Great vid!

[@PelagicPursuit89]

yeah mate. that's the place

[@GrahamSmyth-um6uh]

Holy shit Matty this has to be one of the best videos I've seen on all you collection . That big lure went boom massive Barra . Fffffnn massive gt and the grouper on bait cast . Well done bud . 10 out of 10

[@Violence0vAction]

Always wondered where cartographers got the idea to draw those sea monsters in the oceans of their maps. After seeing that cod… question answered -Codrilla. 🤣The release was the most epic part. Nice work mate & thx for sharing ur adventures. Hoping u guys get good weather down there 🤙🏼

[@navygmc]

Could you share the tackle. Rod / reel.... thanks

[@navygmc]

What I'm asking...if you could tell me what Brand/model..etc

[@joshuagray2859]

Hi Matt Love the Garmin setup for scoping 👌 With the Garmin you should do some screen recording through active captain app and add into your videos so we can see the epic eats in split screen

[@PelagicPursuit89]

only problem is I feel like id be giving away too much at the start. live definitly gives you an advantage but I still feel like people need to spend the hours learning angles and the fine details to get the bite. I don't want to give that away just yet

[@joshuagray2859]

@@PelagicPursuit89 totally understand where your coming from and yes I have learnt that myself very fast just because you can see the fish don’t mean they will eat and the lure placement is key. Love the content even without the screen recording 👍

[@SoaringExperience]

hi. which Sonar is this? looks awesome

[@fishingwithsameer.1210]

Good👍👍 fishing🎣

[@benkurtisbendel5656]

What is that garmin you are using?

[@robbo9020]

Glad your doing alright matty. Cheers for another great video. How sick was that grouper XD

As a southerner…. Fishing prossy has me on edge every time I fish it 😂 🐊

Great Sunday morning in Nova Scotia …. Matty ,coffee, fat blunt ❤ 🇨🇦🌲

[@fifis101]

Dude I would love some close ups of the sounder! I just want to see what you're seeing!

[@PelagicPursuit89]

one day I might but that would be giving away too much too soon

[@stephenlatimer1428]

i use the 8 n 10 magdraft for barra n murray cod, done so for a long time. with so many options in large softies Mat wat grabbed ur attention towards them. i know why i use them n wat colors, will be interesting to know why u have chosen the magdraft. i also use a glass rattle chamber but not all the time.

[@GymRat339]

I use those Magdrafts for big striped bass here in California. We catch some fish up to 45 inches, 30-40 pounds.

[@damiansutton-od5ed]

Awesome fish bro! Well done! I’m new to the livescope an trying to work settings out! Any tips mate?

[@PelagicPursuit89]

just hours on the water really haha

[@liamr3866]

Love the vids

[@GrahamSmyth-um6uh]

Some of the best

[@bhygufugu6tyg-k1w]

Mat, you should chase the 3 meter flatty on that thing

[@grahamchampion8271]

Id like too see you catch some barra without the live scope..

[@shawnduddridge]

Epic barra mate.. but the livescope!!!? As a pro?? Ya may as well have dropped a grenade on it from a drone 😂 Still pretty cool to see a salty that big though..

[@PelagicPursuit89]

next 5 videos are all scoped haha and the rest probably will be too

[@shawnduddridge]

@PelagicPursuit89 Noooo!! Matty dont turn to the dark side, theres still time! 😂

[@PelagicPursuit89]

hahaha Sorry mate. my passion is learning about fish their habits, movements, bite windows, every fine detail and then catching them. you'll never accomplish that with out it, you're purely guessing.

[@shawnduddridge]

@PelagicPursuit89 Mate i agree with everything except the last sentence! Be honest, it was always man vs fish, now what is it? Anyway, to each their own.. if ya didnt enjoy it you wouldnt be doing it i suppose.

[@michaelhall5429]

​@@shawnduddridgeunless youre swimming out and catching them by hand its never been fish vs man. Everyone uses a tool of some sort, no need to be a snob about the sort they use.

[@Antz94]

With your Livescope, it is so powerful that when you leave it on out of water, it can cook the transducer. Ask micksgonefishing about them, as he runs garmin livescope as well

[@brisbanefisho]

Insane mate 😳

[@screamingreel8542]

This is not a bull..this is a BigBadBison 👊😎🤙)) One question: are you not afraid of a croc bite while reoxigenating the tired fish in order to release?!

[@PelagicPursuit89]

100% its always a thought in my mind. we try and stay aware but that's what crocs are best at being so stealth.

[@GB-cm6yy]

That ended abruptly 🤣🤣

[@PelagicPursuit89]

its horrible when I do my ending to a clip and don't realise at the time the audio is completely blown out. ive had multiple sections lately ive had to just delete because of audio or rain making the footage unwatchable.

[@GB-cm6yy]

@PelagicPursuit89 I was being facetious. I love your videos Matt...everything from the fishing, the quality of the footage, the educational aspect and the locations.

[@kizzjd9578]

BRAVO!!!!

[@leeroy8781]

PUT IT BACK IN THE WATER!!! You know you can put fish straight back in the water and when you do your editing, freeze you holding the fish and do voice over. Maximising the fishes chance at survival

[@tonywiseman7542]

can you do it without more electronics than NASA

[@user-vr1yb9uf6k]

Go watch a caveman fish with a stick then, times have changed and thankfully for these electronics we are able to land more fish 👍
