Tiny hook lands monster fish (catch, clean, cook)

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Happy Sunday legends!! How epic was that?!? Let’s hear your best fishing fluke!! Comment below 💪💪

[@semenmuncher69]

Nothing special but I got a flatty on a bait jig

[@ryanmeads2280]

Sammy Hitzke Fishing hooked a black marlin the the very tip of the bill on a bait jig and fought it for 8 1/2 hours and landed it

[@askocrni1952]

I caught a 2 meterie flatty in cast net 5 years ago whilst catching bait at Wellington point jetty :)

[@KT-et5vn]

40ish cm bream on a tiny miniature pen fishing rod off ebay. Caught using roast beef on my lunch break at work. Pics and a vid to prove it 👍

[@rodashford1151]

Best fishing fluke was a 21kg mackerel jagged thru the eyeball only and landed without a gaff, 1st half of fight was the usual pump and wind then i saw how it was hooked 2nd half of fight was like i was using 1lb line, i was so gentle, changed my whole day, went from 1 trout before lunch to catching that mackie and 127trout after lunch. Cheers for the great vids mate

[@Cornish666]

Another class one mate ,love it . My uncle used go across to the pub while i kept guard of the eel rods when i was young and he stayed a bit long one night so i walked over to check up on him. He sat me down for a shandy and over an hour later we went back to find a nice fresh water trout swimming around on my rod . tasted sweet and was my first wild brown trout . Keep it up sammy your a legend bud. Cheers

[@marcrandell6680]

What a life ! What a life!! What a life you have made for yourself!!!!! I love your gear and I love your one man production. I know it ain’t easy but you make it look so. You got the gift Sammy and I’m happy for you

[@basilforssman2480]

Hi Sammy, The exact same thing happened to me in South Africa. Also fishing for live bait when a Cute (Spanish mackerel) took the live bait. The hook in his mouth broke loose but caught him on a second hook on the body. Also took me 22min and was also a 7.5kg. I relived my catch when watching yours. You just can't explain the feeling in catching something that size on 5kg tackle without any leader line etc. Good job.

[@Seansfishingtales]

😂 as soon as I saw you start cooking the coriander I knew what was going to happen haha good on ya mate

[@boostjunky24]

Another cracking video mate!! Awesome solo effort and that mackie was the icing on the cake. And I nearly choked on my dinner when you wilted the coriander and chucked it in the bin. Brillant!!

[@anthonynelson2015]

Crazy way to catch a Spanish! Always coming through for us on sundays!! Can’t wait for the new merchandise ! Stay safe Sammy.

[@VuTubeShorts]

Shocked me with the coriander 😂 I seriously thought you were gonna eat that much coriander 😂 excellent advice with the coriander too!

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

vu phan hahah cheers mate 🤣🤣🤣

[@captianspinx4426]

Imagine what the yakkas were thinking getting dragged along behind the silver death

[@garfilled1121]

My best fluke was when i fo a tangle in my line so just kept flicking it back and forth like a fly rod and ened up fowl hooking a bream in the back. Great video Sammy, enjoy watching them every sunday

[@shannonburgmann7715]

Hahaha that Corriander at the end had me pissing myself...propper thought you were going to add it to the taco! Awesome snare on the Macky too mate...awesome vid. Reckon you had a little glow up on the Ports too 😂😂🍻🍻

[@Real.Nik.R]

Good to see you have your handles on the “right” side of the reel 👍

[@brisbanefisho]

Sammy, you are the Wizard of Oz or more accurately, the Tin Man. I don’t believe it, a catch of a lifetime mate. You’re unbelievable 🤙🏻

[@darrongalway9821]

Hahaha that coriander joke never gets old great vid mate great work

[@desgamble7643]

Hey Sammy i had your experience today . I was fishing the small bay rhs of the Jumpinpin Bar. Landed a 42cm bream around the weed beds. This was one crazy bream. My line was entangled all around it's fins. It didn't have the hook anywhere in it's body. Just tangled up in the line. Bloody amazing. Been fishing for 40 years and never seen that happen before.

[@archiesinfield9333]

31:29 lol 😂. That Spaniard catch was insane Sammy. Loved the vid looking forward to next weeks 🍻

[@FrenzyAdventures]

Fishing seem to be very hot in the SEQ region lately. Keep up the great content Sammy, always great to watch.

[@DunBeBuilds]

Had a similar experience the other day. Hooked something sing my little 10-year-old Sienna 2500 8lb braid 12lb leader and 25 minutes later pulled up a 16kg tong tail tuna.

[@aliciabirchall7219]

One in a million Sammy, how bloody awesome.

[@180slidr]

Thanks for sharing mate ! Once in a life time catch ... Always enjoying watching keep them coming !

[@Teddydux]

The cilantro prep tip at the end was very useful 👌

[@daverobinsonfishing2581]

awesome stuff, loving the couta on the bait jig !!

[@amandaherbst1758]

Sammy you’re a legend mate....what!!!! A mackerel on a bait jig lol love ya work😜

[@leighgallon1579]

Wicked stuff mate. What a wild hook up! loved the videos so far. Learning loads of hand tips and tricks. I may have one for you for your next Spanish? Try skinning the Mack's head to tail once you have the fillets off. I've noticed its 10x easier following the sinew grain. Keep up the great work.

[@pffear]

When I first saw the title of this video, FLUKE I thought you hooked up with a big Halibut or Flounder but your playing Cowboys and Mackerels, lassoing your Spanish by the tail on such light tackle was epic since you couldn't turn his head to turn his runs.... Great fight, great fish❗😜❗

[@isaacallport9823]

my best fishing fluke was when I was fishing my pontoon went up to get a drink and came back to an 80cm mangrove jack

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

isaac allport Thats a horse jack! How good! 🍻🍻

[@justyouraveragefishingaust8463]

[@RobertTaylor-vd2mw]

80cm mangrove jack , musta been an old grandaddy

[@crowleysprospectingadventu2527]

[@getthenetfishing8979]

I got snagged by a bream and lost my gear then casted out and caught the same fish with my gear

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Get the net fishing hahah that’s pretty awesome!

[@gtr0321994]

😂

[@deft3562]

tee hee

[@joshburling3191]

Wow I hope I catch the Barra that stole my expensive setup. I lost a Shimano castas

[@lauribrown7407]

Thats so crazy! I didn’t think a hook that small could catch a fish like that!! Great job!

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Lauri Brown neither did i! I honest just got lucky! 🍻🍻

[@jblaas2]

Just shows it’s not about the size but how you use it, Sammy is a good example of that

[@johnwaddell8390]

Sammy, we have had theses fish tacos so many times it’s not funny. My wife loves them. It’s simple and amazingly tasty. Love them.

[@SuperKabookie]

Oh my that was an exciting vid! Funny stuff with the coriander!

[@barrapigadventures9575]

Sammy you bloody legend that has to be the catch of the year well done high 5's for that mate 👍

[@josesolana311]

Amazing how you catch that Spanish Mac. The recipe was awesome too.

[@krisdavies8548]

[@arneernestbirch9142]

Great catch and great vid as always!

[@nathankirkwood6212]

When I was about ten I was winding my bait in, lifted it out of the water and a John Dory jumped out of the water and landed at my feet!!

[@DanleyNuksGoneFishn]

Last week I had a pike jump out of the water and smash my soft plastic

[@mungbean84]

Stone's ginger wine in the top of the stubby to keep you warm in the waders was always a go to if you have a surplus of beers (however that happens) and no port.

[@brycesharkey983]

Love ya work Sammy 😊

[@TheDarryl64]

Ha Sammy Great vid and the best cooking advice I'VE EVER HAD

[@vincenzoberlingeri206]

Another epic vid mate who would of thought that bait jig would of held

[@garymuscat8279]

Epic video mate!!! More patients than me to get that Spanish!!! Love to hear more about the gear you use, kg rating on the rod and line size reel you use etc?? Throw some brands in, no doubt they would love it! Keep the quality videos coming mate! Only issue with this one is I love coriander 😂. Let me know when you want to do a rookie video on the boat 😉. Looking forward to some new merchandise next week 🤙👌🤙👌🤙👌🤙👌🤙👌🤙

[@emeryjohnson1264]

[@smee103]

Good people make their own luck Congratulations on a good fish Mate

[@krayzieboy100]

[@amasterfishing5544]

Epic fight on that bait jig mate, also what a turn for those coriander...

[@mikewhidden5356]

The gods were certainly with you my friend and a bit of skill on your end goodonya

[@flasktalimasa5586]

Awesome video Sammy 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@johnmclaughlin1804]

Well done on the Mackrel. Fluke catch for sure. You should have chucked some coconut butter in with the coriander, makes it easier to clean the pan!!!! 🤣

[@gavinswanson666]

Thumbs up on chucking the coriander Sammy !!!!

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Gavin Swanson it gets what it deserves! 🤣🍻🍻

[@jadenchalmers7102]

Great video mate👍👌, was looking forward to this vid.

[@rodneil7732]

So, who got a little excited then hahaha Great vid, cheers.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Thanks for watching 🙌🙌

[@rjfishing1521]

Me and my mate caught the exact same fish at the same time

[@lesstalkmorefishing1000]

Absolutely amazing mate haha, but what surprised me the most was when you said "22 minutes of fight time" and the video was at 22 minutes whaaaat

[@TheAuzzieKangaroo]

Sammy Hitzke can catch a Spanish on a bait jig that wasn’t even hooked, when I got fishing I can’t barely catch a cold 😂

[@peterpanagopoulos9672]

Great capture Sammy!! Very impressive! I am 100% with the anti-coriander. Straight in the bin is the way to go!

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Hahah it’s the worst 💪💪💪

[@vandoserpa5371]

That coriander was hilarious!!! lmao!!!

[@williamadeyeye694]

Keep it up sammy

[@flasktalimasa5586]

Fortune favours the brave👏🏾

[@__Brad__]

it's why we fish....ya just never know......arse and class Sammyy

[@63off]

Oh lordy I laughed at your coriander shenanigans. Priceless. Also to your question about easy were the fish tacos? I would say catching that beast on a bait jig wasn't particularly easy. The rest looked simple enough.

[@jacklester8370]

Great video mate 👍🍻

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Jack Lester cheers legend!

[@kevinegger9646]

That's got to be some kind of world record!!😵😂😂😂😂

[@zhee_chris]

Big up from Jamaica, lad!

[@downundermike8889]

Go buy a lotto ticket Sammy. It will surely be a winner. Great fishing to get him mate

[@philipharvey4258]

Lucky hook up was at 4 beacons Moreton Bay when I also got a Mackerel on a cramps bait jig, was only a schooly but still 56cm and very tasty. Boom. Cheers have a goodn

[@kaysea4325]

Thought you caught that on the duckett wheeler series spinning rod at 18:50ish in the video

[@joshstorrier9122]

Where do you source your coriander? Looks great quality for mopping up the pan dregs

[@staunchpirateproductions3919]

Hahaha that's awesome mate Spaniard on a bait jig no big deal.

[@matthomas6575]

Just wondering for shallow reef fishing is run in or run out tide best

[@sweatyjester]

I put my rod down on the pontoon to untangle my son only for a fish to hit the lure and pull the rod into the drink. After a brief moment of contemplation, I jumped in... saw the rod on the bottom of the canal and swam and picked it up. Then climbed back onto the pontoon and reeled in a 40cm bream. Middle of winter too.

[@brunomerlini4248]

Epic.. love your videos mate

[@spicyrooster6539]

Hey Sammy, on Thursday last week I was jigging some herring off Urangan Pier, I had the same thing with a herring with the bait jig bottom hook snared there little bugga around the tail I was going off couldn’t believe it! Well you just took it next level! Unreal mate! Happy fishing 🎣 🍻👍

[@russ1185]

Haha nice work mate. Thats the kinda story ya tell at the pub over a few coldies, with the punch line being " even got 3 livies loaded on the rig to". With everyone one listening saying "bullshit haha"... You would have to reply yeah it is bullshit but iv got it on film yeeeew... Awesome vid again mate, thanks for the content.

[@keizyshiro]

Matt Terry cheers legend 🍻🍻 appreciate the support!

[@markferguson4255]

When i was 13(27 years ago), had a cheap 2 piece rod with a live herring on it trying to catch wolfherring for bait. I caught a wolfherring then whilee winding in, it got smashed by a 75cm doggy mackerel and my 2 pieces rod snapped instantly. I carfully fought it for 30 minutes, was able to land the macky, got the second piece of my rod back and my parents bought me a decent one piece rod. 😀

[@rhiannonwordsworth]

were they whiptails on the jig with the mackie? are they okay bait?

[@haydenloader4529]

When you are fishing the plastic in those conditions, how do you tell if you are on the bottom?
