Popping & Jigging - Andamans - The Return - 2012

[@lepiaf128]

10 years and I still love it!

[@onlyonewaytogetthere]

these old guys grunting and freaking out on the hook set cracks me up.

[@darkbluesoul]

thanks for returning the fish guys. A major effect of human predation on a species is a decrease in average size. Returning fishensures that the big guys will still be around to reproduce and we wont reduce these big Trevallies to small fry. Cheers and great fishing!

[@luay0366]

I'm so envious of all of you catching these beautiful fish.

[@kenbrown8881]

This is an unreal video of cranking down on some real game fish. Well done, I can only imagine! From cranking poppers on largemouth bass to this, looks to be a BLAST!!!! On my Bucket list now!!!!!! Great job guys!

[@chippychoocha]

Some of you doubters and negative peeps have probably never experienced fishing like this but yet you still comment like your seasoned pro's !? These boys know what they are doing and do EXACTLY whats needed to land and return these beautiful fish. Seriously, get a life and go out fishing more often. Watch and learn !! Top job boys, excellent footage, I would give my right arm to do a session like that. Maybe one day :)

[@augustinek.sorboh457]

love how you focus on the strike in the video that is the most enjoyable part

[@rquille]

Unbelieveable !! Great vid & great sport guys. Good that your charter is teaching you the responsibility with these fish. They fight so hard that they are all but dead when you boat them. Really enjoyed this, well done.

[@alessandroserra4063]

Every time I watch this video I say "this is what I'll do one day" ... amazing video, amazing landscape, amazing people! respect sea ! :) you are great guys. siete grandi! cheers from Italy

[@Andysfishing]

Some serious fish there. Waiting for your next adventure!

[@PhuketFishingTour]

thanks many times.. your live film of andaman is always so fantastic appreciate for your sweet for these..

[@TheHondafirebladerr]

I have fished in the anderman islands beautiful islands and amazing fishing my biggest GT WAS 60lb and the most powerful fighting fish I have ever caught will go back for another expedition sometime

[@yakoobjunior9631]

The Return video was just as awesome. GT's sure are backbreaking work. Keep rocking Stu 👍

[@StuWalkerFishingAdventures]

Thanks Yakoob, on with my Panama vid, its a good one :)

[@yakoobjunior9631]

On with the show then mate 👍

[@banluesak1]

Well done boys, those GT are a brute of the sea on tackle gear and thank you for showing us how to fish. For get about the negative comments they are just resentment against your guys.

[@tsa1984]

no words, amazing! I hope some day to enjoy like this

[@mariuszgrosiak1717]

This is fantastic movie. Fishing GT is my dream and I hope it will come true in the future:))

[@Cracklord666]

That was the best and funniest video I've watched on KZbin for years! This must be a dream come true fishingtrip! I've fished meikong catfish in thailand up to 35kg but they look like pulling a scooter compared to these fish, this is a real fight! I must contact gamefishingindia and start to plan a trip like this!!!

[@Sonus10]

Excellent video! For those nitpicking on them releasing fish ... that is indeed the proper way of releasing ocean fish. You torpedo them into the water to force water past their gills. It revives them faster so they can swim away. If you gently place them back in the water they will take a bit to revive and will be shark bait.

[@8calebdavid]

Might be the best fishing video I have seen on KZbin and I have seen quite a few. I would love to go salt water popping! Looks amazing!

[@StuWalkerFishingAdventures]

I agree, its not so much the jump thats impressive its how it powers its way back down into the depths Stu

[@StuWalkerFishingAdventures]

Thanks for comments & good advice, its only our second trip blue water fishing so we are not experts, one think i know is these blue water fish are in a differen't league on the fighting front when compared to fresh water fish which is where we mainly fish. I should have a header saying "Only comment if you have hooked one" :)

[@AdrianDRIFTER2003]

old man does not now how to fish ... nice video awesome best ever seen

[@surethingsfly]

Beast of a fish gotta love 'em!......I wouldn't come back! Great video a greeting from Ireland

[@RiverRanger]

We went to Andamans first time in 2005...totally lost my heart to GT popping in The Invisible Bank. Still got a Bottom Map of Andamans in my Office :) Best spot fished there in 2009 was Union Ledge… there we landed (C&R) over 40 GT´s in two hours peak bite...i even got 12st in a row :D

[@StuWalkerFishingAdventures]

That is some serious action! , nice one : )

[@StuWalkerFishingAdventures]

You have highlighted a perfect example of how hard GT's can fight Bobs pulling as hard as he can and the fish pulls as hard back, if i recall this was only a 10kg fish aswell.

[@kenbrown8881]

Obviously you have never experienced this in any shape or form.................the rush is intense and the fight is a fight.........over 300,000 hits on the video just to see these dudes doing this. Its amazing!!

[@gabifishing642]

Beautiful video, I enjoyed every moment, champion.

[@Heev3rlik3ab0ss]

hey guys awesome video, awesome fishing, awesome tackle, just a tip when you're fishing in the salt the further you can get your hands on the fore grip the more power you will have on it and the less strain on your body cause you can just lock your arm strait without high sticking either. Congrats on your catches though!

[@Xenogias]

Looks a great trip, vast improvements over the 2011 trip. Don't mind the negative comments, many people have no clue on the pound-for-pound ferocity of GTs. Though I would like to suggest more deliberate short pumps over long jerks to save energy avoid breakage. Jump and shout all you want, I really don't get people who watch the video and complain. Great video and thanks for sharing, looking forward to your 2013 trip ;)

[@cebuboy1976]

Tremendous! Enjoyed every second watching this.

[@YGBoBi]

Worth watching every second of it!!!!!!! AMAZING VIDEO GUYS!!! Keep up the good work!!

[@fishing.friend]

amazing fishing ... good job friend

[@zacharrow-deitz2822]

Don't get me wrong, catching fish like this is so exciting.Ive done my fair share in Florida all be it not on GT's but on tarpon and sharks. But no need to scream, can tell you are excited but just a bit of overreaction. Some quality fishing though, nice one.

[@MM-ir3uk]

fantastico! meraviglioso! emozionante! COMPLIMENTI

[@pjc71]

16:05 was "BEAUTIFUL" awesome display of the gt's attack power.

[@magnoverdin]

show show show fantastic.... The Brazil sends you hugs memories

[@Veselibu]

12:30 and further ... really painful ... but he has made it!!! superb!

[@StuWalkerFishingAdventures]

Nice one, i am sure you will have a great time, D & A will put you on some fish. Go to the Gym before hand its hard work bringing those poppers back !. Just make sure the rod you take is stiff enough to set the hooks, our 4lb TC rods we first took we too soft ! If your on fish they hit well, but we seemed to do very well on the Cubara 150 Poppers, the battered one on the video hompage pic.

[@Jitwinyan]

Beautiful Place...Beautiful Fish...!!! Congratulate!!!

[@SnakeheadPro]

Excellent fishes and action. Great video.

[@DanielWeyers]

When u hook a fish why do you jerk it really hard like 3 or 4 more times? if i'd do that with my rod i'd break it or snap my line..(or damage the fish if using braided line

[@JoelFishinAintEasyBusbee]

wow! Awesome video. Those fish are tanks! It looks like you're setting the hook on a sinking 100lb rock!

[@StuWalkerFishingAdventures]

80lb tuf XP line and 250lb suffix leaders. Have been twice to the Andamans, not going in 2013 but have plans to go back in next few years.

[@guitarsehole]

What an amazing video!! I loved the tasteful music...then it turned metal! Even better! I've never done popping or jigging, but it sure looks exciting! And who ever said that fishing isn't a sport???

[@4george315]

Good video lads. Nice to see a Brit fishing vid without Yanks wooping and high 5 ing, just northern GRUNTING !!!!

[@robertojeanfrancois1]

Just love it!!, especially seeing the sequence when one of you almost loses the good new saltiga dogfight! some how i feell like i was watching "An idiot abroad", ah-ah..

[@สราวุธเริงสมุทร-ง9ล]

ทะเลอันดามัน สิมิลันรึปล่าวครับ

[@fifis101]

It's called setting the hook mate. When you're catching big fish with big hooks, you needs lot of force to set the hooks well. This is why Stuart mentions that they were having trouble loosing fish by keeping hooks. I do a bit of land based shark fishing and to set an 18/0 shark hook in to the jaws of a large shark, we have to put the rod over our shoulder and run up the beach to get enough force for a good hook set.

[@snakeslayer240]

Great video guys .

[@dwellmer]

Guys I have to tell ya. I love fishing, been fishing all my life but watching you battle like this scares the livin crap out of me (should I ever be in that situation) . I would have to hit the gym for 3 months to prepare for a week of fishing like that. Congratulations on the trip though. Trip of a lifetime I am sure.

[@StuWalkerFishingAdventures]

Glad you enjoyed the vid, we were using Daiwa GT86 rods with 80lbs Tuff XP Braid Cheers Stu

[@AmwayLine]

You are are awesome !!! Love you guys really much!

[@robertojeanfrancois1]

Hi, I agree with you, but the all of this taring and hard puling, it create a great and exiting screen play + great addvitorial for the strong , tuff Daiwa new gear.

[@StuWalkerFishingAdventures]

Hi the line we used for popping was 80lbs Tuf XP, the reel was the Daiwa Saltiga Dog Fight SA-Z6500HDF, has a capacity of 550 yrds of 50lbs braid. The popping rod is a Daiwa GT86 8ft 6 long Ta Stu

[@olivierortoli8937]

Very nice vidéo,fishs,music,and good fishermens :-) although one fishermen was very tired during a fight...

[@mrkrazykid1000]

Honestly people, the good gear is made to stand intense fights That is why you pay the big bucks for it Cheers mates Good video

[@adamree30]

incredible video...flying out to Mauritius come Feb to try my hand at bagging a few monsters also - feeling very keen having seen this - good work!

[@StuWalkerFishingAdventures]

I agree i wouldn't do it with a freshwater fish, but for these GT's and Dogtooth blue water fish its broadly recognised as the best way of return these fish it gives them a boost and they all swam off strongly.

[@HotMusicEverOK]

Great videos and I like it so much Thank you for sharing your video so that I can see it,...

[@lololinux]

Video ECCEZIONALE! Complimenti! Complimenti anche per essere un Daiwa Man! Come me!

[@mreelblack1]

congratulations from Asturias, Spain, a great video

[@StuWalkerFishingAdventures]

Your not wrong we did think of going the gym, what the film doesn't show is throwing heavy lures around for a couple of hours then getting a hookup with a powerful GT.

[@roycindsouza]

You guys went fishing to Cinque Islands! That's one of the most beautiful dive spots in the world!

[@chongpohtai]

The rod butt does not have gimbal grove! Or was the soft rubber cap on? Fastastic fishing :)

[@simonpaynter5027]

Awesome Well done Great stuff Great catch Great video That's looks like fun That's awesome Love ya work

[@pjc71]

excellent job good display of sportsmanship to the fishermen and to the giants what technique were you using?blooping?once again awesome video

[@MrSnask]

Lovley video! Nice to see some specimenanglers in another element! But what is the name of the ambient song, the one with violins?

[@halizov2]

Да уж, эмоции чуваков зашкаливают)) хорошее видео и рыбалка!!!

[@laguhermawan3736]

Jiger mania is great, greetings from SURYA JAYA CNC Indonesia

[@jrangelo21]

I've done this type of fishing in Panama, and Coasta Rica. I never needed to set the hook like these guys do... a little much if you ask me.

[@TheAhmeddeiab]

really wonderful video ... but can I ask you about the type of the fishing rod and the thread that you used and its size ?

[@Rich_Adventure]

Awsome video boys, i felt knackerd just watchin, great work.

[@blahblahblah48504]

Nice fishing! nice putting them back too.

[@2bsexy4u]

very nice guys!! I have been speaking with Darran & Akshay will be going over in April 2013 cant wait very excited!!!! still unsure what gear to use..

[@shawty867]

Very cool fishing!!!!!Hard work though...It seems that those fish attack good and much...That's a big one yu got on your hook at 12min i think

[@StuWalkerFishingAdventures]

I agree it looks brutal, but these fish are brutes and you have to try and set the hook ,they have very hard mouths and the hooks used a very strong. No fish were damaged, often they spat the big poppers out like they were a toy, and often bite them in half !

[@StuWalkerFishingAdventures]

Hi Glad you enjoyed it, the reel is a daiwa saltiga Dogfight.

[@sidedoororiginal]

Thank you. Another question, do you think that lure is good for shore jigging, and is 80gr weight too much/little? (Target fish are predators, usually chasing schools of fish near the shore, seabass, yellowtail etc)

[@amfromch]

Great Video Guys!!! and great, that some People understand, that only with catch and release you can catch fish over a Long time, All countrys which didn't understand this, have bad game fishing conditions and no Tourist/industry in game fishing. This brings much more Money for a Country, than eating this catched fishes. The other good fact is, that Permit, bonefish, GT,s are not good for eating. No one has something against it, to take the one or other fish from time to time to be eaten.

[@KM-wi9wp]

lol I was waitin for the rod or line to break. lol good fishing!!!

[@AileroneJoe]

Awesome video! I would love to go there someday.

[@tamerfahmy1000]

can I ask what song plays at the begining of the video thanks, great video and great fishing guys

[@maritesbaradas5985]

Wow, galing talakituk na isda., , expensive fish.

[@GALIZAPIKAROBALIZA04]

¡¡¡¡¡¡Excellent video !!!!nice fish.

[@drmzzzz]

+GALIZAPIKAROBALIZA 04 fin film,men hopplös adrenalin kick ifrån den första......det är bara fiske

[@DanielWeyers]

for example what exactly are you doing at 14:40?? It looks very amateuristic

[@jannassary]

GO ON BOY PUT YOUR BACK IN TO IT, PULL TUG THE WHOLE LOT COME ON WHAT A FIGHTER GOOD VID

[@marquinhostrombone]

Awesome !!! Congrats from Brazil !!!
