I'm really glad you were able to get a fish after sticking it out and putting in the hard work. I also think this channel is just so valuable in not just entertainment value, but also in family memories, the bad and the good. I hear stories of people replaying old voicemails and meaning the world to them. Imagine the impact this could have on your kids one day watching. Powerful stuff if you ask me.

[@casave9682]

How about when he went fishing for marlin and his inflatable got punctured? Shiiit that would have been it for me.

[@Mabaz]

I live in a small flat and have no room for a kayak, so I've been thinking of getting an inflatable one. I'm really wondering if it's safe to go out in the ocean with an inflatable kayak. Especially since I can't get those really expensive ones.

[@EngineeredAngler]

Rob, I make lures and I would love to make I lure for you to troll down in Australia. I'm in Florida and spending lots of time at home and I would love if you would accept a big trolling lure, that will look very much like the natural baits you're using. I'm not asking anything in return. I've been a sub for a while and love your vids. All I would like is that you tell me how you like the lure. I have a small channel: Engineered Angler. It would just be a thrill knowing one of my lures is in use in Australia. you can message me on facebook (engineered angler page) . Cheers mate.

[@himderfella]

Disinfect the package & the contents. Wash hands. Proceed to fish.

@@bmanferlife Seems like mostly the virus only lives for a couple-few days on surfaces. Accept the package from shipping, set it aside for a week, wash your hands, extremely likely to be perfectly safe.

@@emmavaria My intentions were only to raise a small fact for rob. Yes you are right. But their is a lot we do NOT know at this point. I am so for having him receiving a gift from a fan! That is a great thing for both the fan and viewers, plus him.. I just wanted to voice my opinion that shit is getting real over here. and its sad watching people think its fake. I personally know 3 people alone that have been taken from this virus. And it's still very early..

[@travelfoodbusinessbestheyyono]

@@emmavaria I think I saw on one of CNBC's latest reports that they found a trace of the virus on some surfaces on one ship that was evacuated 17 days before the inspection.

[@manr.9106]

Hi Rob, I’m a diving instructor over 20 years and an engineer, I have been dealing with underwater lamps and cameras for the bigger part of my life. The WaterWolf housing is from injection molded plastic, which means there is no variation in the manufacturing process. From my experience in over 8000 hours underwater, the biggest cause for drowned camera housings and lamps is opening and closing the housing without cleaning the O-ring and lubricating them with silicone grease. I know sometimes it has to be quick open/close to get going, but that’s in 90% of the cases the issue for drowned electronics. I love what you are doing Rob, I am as crazy for fishing as you are! Would love to have the chance one day to meet you and go for a fish together. Stay safe and all the best to you and your family.

[@mini696]

Sorry mate, to say there is no variation is false.

[@manr.9106]

8meterwish How much variation do you think there is? 0.1mm if the moulding machine is setup correctly. That’s not enough for the O-ring to be ok at first and after opening and closing to fail. Sorry but when i said i am an engineer, i forgot to say Polymertechnology speciality Injection Molding.

[@ryanmckissick9610]

In these weird times it’s good to see everyone doing what they can to put food on the table. Most of us are watching you fish... learning to do the same. I hope this craziness ends soon so we can get back to feeling secure. Keep that family safe and ready for many fun years to come!

[@Freelancer604]

Thanks Rokkit, as a city dwelling office worker who has never caught a fish bigger than what you typically use for bait, your channel has really opened my eyes to the world of fishing and the doors that open up to a good fisherman. I especially liked your island hopping vids were you just catch stuff and eat it.

[@derekharding7841]

Just shows how easily a quiet day could have turned into an amazing one. Unfortunately we are all banned from fishing down in Vic so you are giving us a fishing fix. Cheers.

Your channel showed up in my recommendations a few days ago, since then I have enjoyed many of your experiences you've shared with us. All I can afford right now is to subscribe, watch, like and comment on them. It's hard to find words to express how your vids are helping us through a very difficult time. I've loved fishing, camping, cooking out and enjoying the beauty of nature for 60 years now, it's always inspired me to be tough through tough times, and gives me something to look forward to. I think we need that now more than ever. My sincere thanks and best wishes in the future for you and your family.

[@alecliebenberg69]

Hey Rod, the whole of SA is in lock down, no fishing... I currently have a love hate relationship with your videos as I'm watching ALL of them again. Loving the videos, the fishing and kayaking, hating the fact that they make amped to fish and I can't. Thanks mate, great vid.

[@LittleBlacksheep1995]

I found on some Australian states' websites that you generally can keep 4 to 20 per species, depending on the state and which species it is. So it'd plentiful for the family if he lucked out. Edit: I think not 20 per species but in total, with some fish having an upper limit of 4.

It's been great being able to watch something like this and seeing how positive you always are during quarantine. As far as the WaterWolf's: I'm not sure how easy they are to take apart, but I would maybe try a conformal coating on the board and then silicone to seal up any other air gaps. I wouldn't imagine heat buildup would be much of an issue considering these are usually be surrounded by water while in use.
