Samoan Mud Crabbing with Locals

[@Kisa11]

Those are my brothers in law, Sonny and Tama, what a nice surprise seeing them. I know first hand that those crabs taste amazing, excited to be going home soon ❤

[@jcw4099]

If that's true that's pretty awesome to see them on KZbin video

[@estherpaulo9378]

Oso ma le koe fia alu I guu 😄

[@jcw4099]

The guy climbing the coconut trees is built like an NFL linebacker naturally chilling and hanging out in Samoa the other big guy that went to locate crab in the mangroves is as big as an NFL offensive lineman those people in Samoa are truly impressive physical specimens and they were so kind as hosts

[@pala1blood240]

Mangroves and its mud are one of the toughest to navigate through, and Jocelyn is just brave and adventurous to be able to decide to do this long walk through the thick mangrove mud. Bravo💪🏽

[@rb5043]

Hilarious Taku when you tried climbing the coconut tree. Glad you exploring islands

[@hootiemike3091]

Dude showing him how to climb the tree was jacked lol poor KZbinr stood no chance

[@josetellez1803]

Perfectly timed upload, just sat down with some Alfredo and baked crappie

[@aquaviii]

rice and chicken

[@heruhcanedean]

Jealous and baked. Currently trying to plan a fishing and mushroom foraging day hike along the river with my buddy. Rain forecast for this weekend and Monday is the full moon.

[@grant.Ellis.]

No you didn’t

[@AMF59]

I thought I was the only Samoan who watched Taku, I was wrong😂. My favorite series so far! Malo Taku for the content!

[@josephfolsom2030]

That Sumoan has been climbing trees his whole life, besides his arms are as big as your legs😂

[@samuelnelson7429]

I had a similar experience in Molokai, Hawaii. If you stay at the big corporate owned resort, you’ll be treated to a nonsense corporate experience. Polynesian people are among the finest human beings on planet earth. Stay with them. Live like they do. Your eyes will be opened and your soul will be humbled and fulfilled. God bless the islands and the people of the islands.

[@k.smith808]

Love the South Pacific touring. Do more islands please 🙏🏾

[@lu.v3420]

Glad you enjoyed your stay in Samoa...spread the word cos Samoa needs visitors...all the best to you both ❤

[@Rob-ze1wi]

Villi! the man w a kitchen and great attitude. the man! "The meat feels thicker" brah

[@aquaviii]

lol 😅😅😅

[@charlieduvall6463]

Gosh i just put a trap in the stream out back. They say a doctor brought some Samoan mud crabs to Oahu in 1920 and now they are in all of the streams in all of the Hawaiian islands as well as the bays where the streams meet the ocean. Tasty

[@NicetoNice05]

Good thing about roaming around the Samoan Mangroves is there are no Crocodiles if it was in Australia i would keep an eye out 😂😂😂

[@pennreelfishing]

Taku . Straight into the video and no introduction and endless music that keeps repeating over and over again. I’m Proud of you my Cook Islander brother. Your videos are the reason why I only watch KZbin videos. I don’t watch Movies anymore because they are predictable and WOKE. I know creating a new dish is very difficult and my advice to you is watch Vietnamese fish dishes. They are my number 1 . From a Aitutaki Cook Islander . Samoa people I’m proud of you for keeping your traditions alive

[@ravenfeader]

Good try with the coconut tree they are easier to climb if something is chasing you I have found .

[@octavioespinoza8183]

You needed more twists on the t shirt. 😆 🤣 good try. Enjoyed this episode. Kept us entertained for sure

[@mainman3422]

Thank you for experience the traditional Samoa for all of us 😊

[@agelualofa]

Taku you are king in our hearts come back soon. Hope you had fun in Paradise Samoa. Come back soon

[@addicted2fishing119]

You can easily see why Samoan People are amazing athletes… Climbing Poles with equipment is hard but climbing trees in an ‘ie with a T-shirt strap on your bare feet 🦶 is crazy hard… Cheers 🍻 to you for even trying 🍻

[@pasjeihobby]

Taku trying to climb this tree made me chuckle a lot :D

[@DujiWiko]

fantastic job on the presentation, it was crystal clear!

[@CookingWithClams]

catching mud crabs is a dream of mine

[@jmjm1920]

Wow nice we have the giant crabs 🦀 in Tonga muddy mangroves area called tolitoli only appears at night low tide fishing 😊 Thanks

[@HIMChristianFellowship]

We love mangroves all my life ,missing my life style in my village Faleseela ..blessings

[@debramage739]

Lovely work all. Sorry, trying to climb that coconut tree had me in fits of laughter. You did better than I could. 😊😊

[@ckondoryano5173]

when he said its crunchy and i was like "how" then i heard the crunch sounds and i was like "oh wow it is crunchy"

[@TheAngkorFisher-db9kr]

"I love how this video flows, the editing is really top-tier!"

[@H8_M3]

Our city feet aren't callus enough for the jungle climb. Haha.

[@sea-ferring]

Samoans are no joke. Awesome people.

[@Vannguyen_69]

Beautiful people...

[@eyeballs306]

Taku going to have to practice on random trees everywhere! He makes it look so easy!

[@Kennon959]

I'd love to see a South East Asia series and see what Taku will whip up with local ingredients such as Mud lobster and the crazy big river prawns they have out there.

[@LasciviousSin]

Now you've got me wanting to go to Samoa and I also want to visit the Pacific island and try the experiences there 😊

[@RubenVernier]

Drinking game- take a swig every time he says "SAH-moa" haha love it

[@thelandlord111]

Taku like Villi so strong. Look at the guy 😂 he’s an absolute unit.

[@PerezDonatus]

Nice , bradda try Republic of Palau you'll enjoy fishing and diving and the beauty of rock island.

[@carlspencer3481]

Never had that kind of crab. Other kind reef crab and mostly ama ama from my Grandparents village in Vaitogi. Not bad though for first time. Last time I climbed was in Hawaii Laie side at the beach, 1989? Didn’t use the shirt though, scratched up my chest and a lot of ant bites. Awesome video, Thank You for sharing. Samoa will always be my Home and in my Heart…❤️🙏🏼🤙🏼

[@spanishjo4282]

You are the only one on Earth eating crab and fanning at the same time!

[@mattysavelio63]

Another Samoa episode! Epic ! 💯

[@TamaFit]

Thanks Taku great videos enjoy uso 😎

[@mostlysunny2150]

I know Sonny from when he was working in the orchards in New Zealand. Glad to see he is well!

[@ParacordPalsandHeroes]

Hello from Elvistown, Taku and Joycelan. Been watching silently for 2 yrs, love ya show. Big worms? Hmm, I used to say in the Army, "Everything goes good with a beer", but I don't know. Memphis, 10

[@ajm.5160]

Dope video you gotta try catching a Rooster Fish sometime!

[@rolanaguila3273]

LOL in our rural community, I saw somebody bragged climbing a coconut tree upside down (feet up). The Samoan technique is the same as in our rural areas.

[@SomethingWiley]

Thank you🎉

[@imoverhere8327]

Im from the texas gulf coast and can say that heat and humidity is humbling lol. I cant even imagine a pacific island.

[@jerriah4983]

I love samoa 🫶 the people and the weather so 🥵

[@ricardolandsman9465]

Always fun watching you taku great attempt at the tree need some upper body strength though. I so miss eating crab curry always ate it when I was young now it's so difficult to find.

[@savvasefsef]

Perfect bait for breams and lots more!!!

[@lemonamo]

That resort is super lame for wasting so much of your time! However I love the more rustic catch and cooks you do and even though this didn't go as planned its still tha authentic experience i love about your channel. Yay Taku Tuesday!!

[@Appl908]

My guess resort wants people to spend money on their foods. Greedy bastards!

[@Ruto684]

Taku gotta get redemption video next trip, on the coconut tree climb. Your hands bear hug grip the tree trunk and your feet uses the “aufaga” to hug the coconut for traction. I thought the cat was gonna show you up for a second, show you how it’s done vibes lmao..😂

[@nolansimeona6893]

sole have you had those sea worms before haha pe maua i Hawaii haha

[@Ruto684]

@@nolansimeona6893 nope just sea and loli not the worms, but I’ve had mangrove crabs they are delicious.

[@rosemondadjaidoo9001]

Hmm I love crabs, reminds me of back home

[@connormurphy3085]

Hey Taku, I’m not sure if you can grow coconut trees where you’re at but if you have a greenhouse you can totally make sprouted coconut

[@mandatoe]

Oh dear Jocelyn, wait until the hot flashes start 20+ years from now. Keep that fan in a closet until you need it again, because I wish I had one like it now.

[@the_leez_1974]

Good try climbing the tree taku, it look so easy when he did it, but when we do it ourselves is hard. I love those hand fans that Jocelyn got , did you guys get a chance to learn how to make them?

[@CookingWithClams]

so if you had the time, the question is what WOULD you have made?

[@PSSKDerby]

Or Will, what would you have cooked?

[@grinddaily2582]

Bro climbing the tree built like Rey Lewis that’s why it was easy for him 😂😂😂

[@sammypelesaumasr9224]

I can tell uso was holding in his hyena laugh. 😂 😂😂 I know he went to go laugh about it with the uso’s lmao all laughs!🤣

[@kamakoa]

Lol😂 climbing coconut tree beautiful 🇼🇸

[@karljakober]

that coconut tree guy is so damn cool

[@lloydbethel252]

Another great video Taku

[@blaze2407]

Your next trip you MUST attempt to climb the tree again… lol Great content as always ❤

[@jillian8485]

i love this inside look of different culture soo amazing how people adapt to living in different places over the world i wish i could help that family u were with that cooked u the crabs ! but u needed to extend ur legs out more taku u would of shimmied up that tree no problem !

[@Teia692]

WOW! Awesome video!!

[@liyinchong4493]

Good job at the coconut tree. 🥥 ❤

[@garrethekin7043]

You'll have to come back to Australia guys and catch some mud crabs and blue swimmer sand crabs to compare the difference between the two

[@stickybuns8626]

Wasn't expecting the roe to suck. Usually that's the secret good part in a crab.

[@tommyfacekicker]

He’s a big dude. Makes the tree look small.

[@shshshaw1984]

Looking like Mowgli from jungle book climbing that banana tree 😂 hell yeah bro what an experience 🤜🤛

[@nickmoreno7733]

Jocelyn way stronger than me for that hike also that guy climbing that tree That’s true body strength

[@F.O.ZGameStudio]

That sea worm, Here in Mindanao, Philippines we call it Sasing and we eat it raw as well. Like Kinilaw.

[@napoleonroache1429]

Watching you try climbing the coconut tree is hilarious

[@henryjackson9793]

That hotel or motel you stayed at missed a great marketing opportunity. In Rarotonga we went fishing and the resort kitchen cooked our fish for us. Excellent vedio and thankyou for sharing. Still loved your Niue Vedios

[@Yak-life]

I'd try a sea worm with your kelp chili crisp.😊

[@oscarcooley1455]

We need an outdoor chef life/field days coab!!!! Please!!!

[@Mighty442]

JUMP TAKU! JUMP!

[@Lockdown22]

i imagine eating that worm is like eating a soft plastic bass ned rig worm lmao. the guy has thick feet and hands, his body has adapted to climbing those trees which is why you cant do it as easily as he can

[@kirtthomason4620]

Never skip leg day, Taku

[@Appl908]

😂😂

[@bellabuday2712]

We have that mud crab in the Philippines ❤

[@jerryt5934]

I’m Samoan born n raised on the island. Whatever that worm was in the beginning? I’ve never seen in my life 😅

[@1laforees9]

Those black folks are amazing living off the land

[@philabowl8073]

Love your content, have been watching for a long time. But with that being said, you look like Mr. Peepers trying to climb the tree.😂😂😂

[@joanneganon7157]

Excellent try Taku🎉. If you lived there you would master those things two 👍. JO JO IN VT 💞

[@talasenesosene2201]

I lived in Samoa for 21 years of my life never tasted that and never seen it before lol. Oh maybe my village didn't have any lol

[@AvarikiFamily]

Awesome!

[@visualvendetta]

11:26 OMG Joslin is really pretty. Taku you are one lucky dude... :)

[@gatekeeper3660]

Come to Guam and Rota.

[@lisov4575]

Having Taku kind of money is good. Very comfortable life...

[@hiloboy4life2002]

I may to lay off the weed! but I cant stop watching!

[@lestertoelauhohua2684]

How did you like your samoan experience and what did you take away from the lifestyle?? Please let us know..

[@edquier40]

[@vaitoloa5473]

[@TaliilagiSalu]

Taku you should go back and climb that coconut tree again, i believe in you 😊

[@kgrayman]

[@estherpaulo9378]

[@vaitoloa5473]

The good thing about our island is that there are no alligators poisonous snakes and other dangerous animals.

[@ivannaicker3649]
