Solo Seafood Gathering! (Catch, Clean, eat)

Ahoy legends! This week I set out on a solo adventure with the plan of catching a seafood smorgasbord! My original plan was to start the day chasing Spanish mackerel, but when that doesn't go in my favor I have to pull out all the tricks to put a bag of fish together! I hope you enjoy the video!

[@ItzMeggzyBitch]

No ya didn’t

[@liketop_pranks2878]

They use Zelinsky for one purpose to get rid of dissatisfied people and the government is aimed and made to solve economic problems by setting up a war and Ukraine another picture to help to get back in power and let the war get rid of pensioners and all debts and unnecessary people once again gets rid of problems, and we people interfere with the rich and incumbent president to manage the war. The president and neither side went to the ceasefire and it means that the genocide in two points was organized, the war helps the economy in the West and was quoted in a Russian newspaper. People have become dumber and do not understand what is happening. And the authorities do not change that they brought to genocide not guilty neither one side nor the other. Media say one thing, victims say another, and presidents do not want to hear another. They want to block the world from others, block KZbin and continue to gossip about what is good and what is bad, that power, that we achieved this genocide by the hands of the West at the expense of the president , we did not think and no one thought, and do not want to think only lives are wasted when there is no logic of war and everyone is to blame. Let's change everything and stop touching Russia and become a genocide, it helped in the plan of natural resources ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@michaelmage9627]

Rodney needs a medal.

[@Dougtroutfisher.4046]

First fish Sammy was a fresh water perch, caught on a worm that was chucked out in the river conon in the Highlands of Scotland. I was 7. Good video buddy,you never fail to entertain us lad 👍

[@mousefarm]

Your fishing skills are amazing

[@joshuafigueroa6]

Nice action! My favorite part the cleaning.

[@JCrom116]

Great video Sammy...some nice fish and sashimi plated up there! First fish was a flatty, caught with my Dad in Tassie. Cheers 🍻

[@michaelbulla9231]

Another great day out on the water bringing home the goods well done mate

[@samuelmueller1525]

First fish - bluegill, USA. Great content Sammy!

[@user-to3bo8dc4x]

you are great, I really enjoyed watching you, greetings from Vladivostok

[@mathewcampbell8479]

Awesome mate. Sahsimi is a great way to eat pretty much any fish. I've got a tube of wasabi and a little bottle of soy that live on the boat permanently. Nothing better than really fresh bonnie or even snapper frankly...straight off the bait board

[@geofreywilliams8014]

Love your no BS videos dude, great catches and great content! Look forward to the next one. First fish I remember tilapia in Malaysia year 1992

[@uberstodder]

Pike out of Denmark.... the country in Scandinavia not the city .... Nice to see vids from a place where there still are fish in the sea, we killed our sea just praise end enjoy that you on at steady basis can catch fish in the sea. Do not take that for granted..

[@FishingandhuntingwithAndy]

My first fish I remember catching was a Redfin! On a rapala Cd5 rainbow trout. Awesome video as always Sammy! 🤙🏻🙌

[@jaar8320]

Nice to see how you can still get some great fish in the boat without everything going to plan. First fish I can't really remember by now, lets say it was a 30kg jewie off a breakwall with 2m swell hey🤙🤙

[@369comefindme9]

awsome mate just love it hey,have a good one mate thanks for the rad content

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

A thank you right back for watching 🙌🙌🙌 appreciate the support mate 🍻🍻

[@markfunnell7282]

Thanks Sammy once again gotta give it all ago but Snapper on the plate would have been an awesome combination cheers 🍻

[@goodcitizen64]

Great video brother!

[@Brodies_fishing]

Love the videos you have serious skill

[@WhereFishLive]

Tilapia in Oahu, HI, USA. Great vids…Thanks Sammy!

[@hanswurstbr]

My first fish in life was a pike in germany when i was 8. Now i live in brazil and catching bonito, king fish, robalo, sororoca (dont know the name in english) and these pescadas (also unknown for me) Your Aussiguys have a wonderful english that even a german living in brazil understands perfectly :) Keep on your fantastic work!!

[@MyMikey101]

Loved the episode Sammy 👌🏾 you'll get that mackerel next round bro 👏 my first fish was 55cm flatty on a yabby yeww !!!

[@willkitching]

Nice one Sammy, persistence pays! I felt your pain when that dolphinfish pulled hooks on the stickbait 😬😅

[@hennies9509]

Nice fishing my man 👏🏻👍🏻👏🏻.

[@robcozens6644]

Elf, filleted and fried with spices for breakfast after bring the catch home. Wondered why you were returning the Bonito on last week's episode, they're great eating. Look forward to your exploits every Sunday morning. How about a catch and smoking episode please?

[@dwightsurgan9887]

Bluefish, or "Tailor" as you aussies call them, and in the bays of Long Island New York. I find it hilarious how enthusiastic you all are to catch them, with specialized rods and rigs. Most of the anglers here dont target them but they can reach 10-15lbs easy. Awesome fighting fish.

[@mulletsfishing5703]

Aussie Salmon in Victoria AUS. Very underrated sashimi and eating in general in my opinion. Love your videos mate, I watch everyone of them. Keep it up!!

[@angkolchardix]

Fish on..what an amazing fight..

[@mrcrankyank]

Not a bad session in the end! Was hard watching you throw those snaps back early 😂

[@ChronicHabit42]

Nice video as always!

[@volitan604]

Hey Sammy , making me envious again..😂 Snapper / Turkey

[@michaelbarrett2346]

Alway like the Sunday sesh

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

🙌🙌🙌 appreciate the support mate! 🍻🍻

[@Dougtroutfisher.4046]

Nice session Sammy lad, just getting set up for a day battling brown trout up here on the Scottish isles. 🎣

[@alstoiche2045]

Sand whiting in Perth WA, followed soon after by a flatty we threw back cos the old man didn't know what it was haha. Great video mate, glad it all paid off!

[@julianigoe1291]

I don't remember my first fish. I think it was a mullet or Aussie salmon. Loving the episode Sammy 🍻🍻

[@yeahbouyfishing]

Epic episode

[@unclebuck4er467]

First fish was a red ear sunfish at family lake Miami Florida, i was about 4 years old, using a paper clip for a hook and breadball for bait.

[@saltui64]

Sashimy, yummy. Awesome catch

[@farqrsoul3905]

BIG SAMMY Skitzie no one can stop him

[@jeremiahlittlejohn922]

Rainbow trout, USA, love your content mate.

[@terrytailor]

Nice work Sam. A glamour day on the water put to good use, and a very enjoyable video. I'm pretty sure you didn't see the undersized flathead I caught at Tallebudgera Ck Australia when I was 6 years old, but I know you've heard the story a few times. And, when you get some spare time, can you teach me to fish as good as Rodney?

[@waynemee8920]

Snapper. New Zealand. Pretty sure I hadn't mastered walking. Grandfather was a commercial fisho and I had a jolly jumper thingie in the cabin as a bub.

[@darrensaltmarsh8095]

Rudd - From the best part of the UK. Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@MrSkybeau]

Your Rodney is a bloody fish magnet. I don't know why you bother putting any other rods out 😉🍻🍻By the way. Loving the new drone footage, mate 👌

[@JillyBean70]

Watch every week ♥♥......dirty old carp...was fishing with my pop for the first time....I was 10

[@lovingburnettheads2190]

It’s ok, you can steal “endangered” from me. What a cracking episode. Cheers

[@darthmuzza6509]

Yellowfin Bream Lake Macquarie Aus, Good on ya Sammy.

[@stevegornall4816]

Give half soy - half lemon juice, a tiny bit of sesame oil a go. bonus version add a drop or 2 of honey and scirracha

[@casperheunis2977]

Hi. Great vid mate. First one Copper Steenbras in South Africa. Looooong time ago

[@kizzyaggots1]

Sammy you are such a good fisho mate

[@chadelz]

First Fish was an Elf (Tailor) using a 40g Halco Outcast down here in South Africa. Having that lure smashed with the subsequent fight that followed was enough to hook me for life. Side Note on the Atlantic Bonito, every time I've seen you strap one up as bait, my minds like: damn bru, there goes the best ceviche ever. (but in all fairness the fish you're going after in doing so, is well worth it in the end) Atlantic Bonnie though, the best ceviche and a total must try.

[@mitchellgrace7875]

My first fish would be a little 12cm whiting and that gave me the biggest smile on my face. I was probably about 4 years old and I just learned how to cast a rod

[@gregbowen617]

Bonito is a beautiful fish to eat as sashimi… I’ve never had dolphin fish but I also love kingfish sashimi. Like many others have said, I probably couldn’t throw those snapper back… My first fish was a small coral trout caught at Green Island when I was about 8, on a hand line off the jetty before it became a marine park, around 1968 or so…

[@davebrown7321]

I trold ya way back in comments Boniyo is good chewing mate glad ya tried it! great video keep em coming !❤

[@Side85Winder]

Rodney is back and is on fire 🔥 🧨🎣 Is he still running the katchi katchi? I have had one for a year and still haven't thrown it yet 😂. My first fish was probably a king gorge whiting in port phillip bay 👍.

[@benturton3358]

Missed watching your vids mate. Cheers mate

[@benturton3358]

Whiting, Australia, port hacking river.

[@chrismoody4884]

First fish Mackerel in the Solent, UK. Nice session Sam

[@nateheyer1795]

Whiting, NSW, Australia. Love watching how real you make it. But when are you coming down to the Gong?

[@trevorjane9457]

Monster slimey mackerel Sydney Harbour - same size as your bonito LOL BTW reckon your bleeding brings in the sharks - we keep bleeding in a bucket (or two or three) and release when moving

[@lorbentang8884]

My first fish was a european barbel in Germany. Oddly enough, while I caught over a hundred different species since then, it actually was my only european barbel for over 15 years...

[@scottyzfishing5660]

Redfin in Victoria followed by a nice rainbow trout 👌

[@stuartelder7344]

Another ripper vid Sammy, l couldn't throw those snapper back. My first fish was a squid in Vic Australia.

[@jtlissner3062]

whiting, Australia, Gold Coast. Most recent was a hammor in Dubai

[@krugb7001]

Hi Sammy great fishing. One question how long can U keep fish in the fridge for sashimi. And why thanks.

[@oscarfishing215]

my first fish was either a yakka or a snapper, caught in bay of islands new zealand

[@joelreed9047]

First fish! Gold Coast, Currumbin Creek. Little Flatty on a rented tinny with my old man and 2 brothers. Who knew that day bread a lifelong rod bending addict 😂

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Haha how good is that!

[@MrAcuta73]

My son lives in Korea and works on Blackhawk helos. He finally got out on a boat Friday for the first time in the 3 years he's lived there. Got 2 respectable Yellowtail (King) for the first time ever. Both about 15lbs/7Kg. Swears he lost "a BIG one"...but fisherman are fisherman, so....yeah. 😂 His next adventure is for King Mackerel on the 4th. Edit: My first fish was without a doubt a rainbow trout. Though I don't remember it. Dad started me fishing as soon as I could hold a rod.

[@ashleycooper3017]

First fish I remember catching was a redfin in Victoria.

[@danieltaylor757]

Bream on a piece of steak at Round Hill Head, Qld. I was 3 years old. Bloody marv mate! 🇦🇺

[@drinkmeister]

Spanish Mackerel. Palm Beach reef. Around 1982

[@bcfaustralia]

Nothing beats a sashmi party mate!

[@mattspinaze15]

Bream - Richmond River, Ballina, when I was 4

[@murrayprosser5082]

Redfin. Ovens river north east Victoria. On a home made bamboo rod and an old bakerlite centre pin reel.

[@danielwillaton7479]

Cracking episode, you said they were in the fridge for 4 days prior to cutting. Was that deliberate? Or was it a na ill slice them tomorrow sorta deal?

[@AdamKilpatrick]

First fish, Whiting on the rocks fishing with dad in 1976 and I have a photo of it.

[@user-tw2fg1zf8v]

Nice one Sammy, whats the deal with leaving the fish in the fridge for 4 days before eating it? How long can you keep a freshly caught fish for Sushimi? Thanks mate

[@777Dorado]

There is no official standard for sushi grade fish, so don't put your full faith in a sushi grade label. Since it's unregulated. If you can't have it within 24 hours, it is always best to buy the flash - frozen. You may store for up to 6 months in your freezer for consuming as sashimi. I find that catch fresh to fridge - keep fridge 34 to 38 degrees about a week is max(my preference) then VAC SEAL in 5mil bags, and freeze.

[@bentea4776]

Great vid mate. Do you reckon the dollies were shut down due to the lack of current (judging by the FAD)?

[@mattfadge9361]

Just back from a duck egg on the stones 💩first fish was a Flatty at Booker bay! Top vids mate

[@bamconconcreting7189]

Land of aus ,ell in the dam .5yrs old with my dad .👍

[@aaronthomas2823]

Nice vid Sammy - caught a parrot fish on the hornybrook back in the 80's using worm

[@kmac.jimmy123]

my first fish was a whiting from the beach at nth straddie...maybe, 45 yrs ago😎

[@mrawesome001]

Can you do that with any bonito? Or is it just deep ocean stuff?

[@frankcarlton23]

Good run down buddy. What single hooks you changing out to on the knights?

[@nathanadams4619]

Epic clip Sammy, prob a snapper south coast NSW Narooma yewwww

[@michaelbarrett2346]

Rodney needs a bite alarm

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

😂😂😂 takes the surprise out of it then!

[@GoldCoastfishakid]

My first fish was a whiting in Tallebudgera creek

[@maplebacon5748]

Hey Sammy, whenever i use wire i don't get anything we tested on a day with heaps of Spanish around and we got 3 on a rod with no wire and nothing on the one with wire. Just thought it might be a reason no Spanish were caught.

[@perrysfishing]

First fish was a little baby sand whiting that would’ve only been 10cm but it was a fish that put a smile on my face, obviously it was caught in Australia so yeah was definitely a one to remember

[@smee103]

Sammy ever think of giving Rodney his own channel 😂😂

[@dougs_urbanfarm]

Barra in 1979 in the Adelaide river in the NT.

[@toddmillar4041]

First fresh water fish was a redfin perch, salt water Skippy (Silver Trevally) Australia

[@user-lk3go8eb1b]

Little bream on the South coast of NSW, on the mark Sammy, no-ones gonna have a clue🤣

[@seanparchim9165]

First fish was in St Helena California(Napa valley) from the Napa river it was an American bluegill I was 11 years old

[@777Dorado]

Okay first fish...I think it was either a Barred Perch or Jacksmelt I know we were catching both at Manhattan Beach Pier in California. I think it was the summer of 68, I was 5 .🐟P.S That's an Pacific Bonito. An Oceanic Bonito is really a Skipjack. The Pacific Bonito is an underrated fish, it's one of my favorites, but kinda delicate like the Mackerel species.

[@lorbentang8884]

technically it is an australian bonito, they are their own species, scientifically known as Sarda australis.

[@malmissingham6033]

thanks sammy, didn't give up ... what electronic scales are you using please?

[@glenn5077]

60 cm Flounder 1970 Australia The Entrance off the old road bridge north side nice video Sammy

[@bencartwright2087]

Hey mate, been looking for Kingies off the cape area for ages now. What kind of structure should i be looking for for Kings?

[@xxxneoxxx]

Make the trip out to Hendersons or through the south passage literally anywhere from the 33fathoms to deep tempest, big pinnacles, bait stacked up. You'll find em eventually

[@lukehamilton7892]
