GIANT CRABS Rule This Remote Island!

[@supersonicdevin3212]

I Thank You! From the bottom of my heart thank you for sharing this footage. I know in my lifetime I may never be able to experience such a place. People like you make it possible to experience the wonders of this great world.

[@strickandfran]

Thanks a lot for your nice words mate! And thanks for coming along on the adventures 🍻

Where is this island what is it called

[@geoffrichards9198]

i lived on the island 1994-1996. visited it again 98 & 2009. I saw it go through a couple of Cyclones and coral bleaching events. The last trip 2009 it had some of the densest coral growth I saw. It gave me hope in mother natures ability to heal itself. Special place, Thanks Jack & Fran.

[@strickandfran]

What a special spot! Thanks for watching mate 🙏🏼

[@SuperJlonergan]

its been doing that since the start of time....nothing to be down about and eating a fish or two from it will not change it either but love these two either way!!

Yes nature way is best. Man just screws it up. There us so much coral reef, it's amazing. They for ce tries due off for I e reason or the other and grow back same place or elsewhere. Man leaves that to God and we cleanup after ourselves then we are good to go

[@taruiatapaitau3214]

How I grew up in the Cook islands. Everything we ate was from the land. Fishing, hunting and farming. I miss that lifestyle. 17 years in Australia and I'm ready to take my family back to my paradise. 🇨🇰

Love Aitutaki! Nice people, beautiful island.

[@briankey9736]

You guys have the greatest adventures!!! Over 3 years ago I started watching after my elderly dad, it’s been a journey of ups and downs to say the least!!! You guys adventures have kept me entertained and hopeful that one day I’ll be able to chase that adventurous spirit??? EVEN at 58 years old???

[@strickandfran]

Thats so nice to hear mate. I’m sure you will, 58 is still so young ❤️

[@woofljh]

If I had to be shipwrecked on an island, that would be the one I’d want! All the food and freshwater you can ever need! What a wonderful place!

Jack fighting the crab for his camera back was the highlight of the episode for me!😂😂😂😂😂

You produce beautiful content! Your diligence deserves praise. I hope you're able to continue for years to come. Much love and wishes for long lasting success and a fruitful relationship.

[@kbrahmer]

Thank you. I watch every episode I find on You Tube of this couple and their presentation of the natural world. I've said thanks before. This time for seeing Fran give Strick an affectinate hug. Everything else they show is real, natural, beautiful and encouraging...so why not between humans.

[@strickandfran]

Thank you ❤

[@Tiamariawouldntwanttobeya]

Guys, I’ve said it before. Congrats on the milli subs in such a short period of time. Such an achievement. There’s such a rawness to your videos backed with education and it makes it all so enjoyable to watch! I particularly love that you have shown so much of Australia’s coastlines and not the ‘typical popular’ spots that people show around the world. You stick to the unique, unspoiled and untouched areas which I love! ❤

[@jeffreygibson8123]

Thanks!

[@strickandfran]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it

Those underwater shots with the dolphins are absolutely gorgeous.. Fran looks like a Sea Goddess...like she was birthed in the ocean, and is a creature of it...

Thanks both very much for such wonderful content and documentary on these amazing places you visit. Your enthusiasm and presentation is what makes you both a great team and deserving of more subscribers!!! Please keep it up!

[@richard_n]

I just wanted to say something that probably gets overlooked a lot on your channel. That's the incredible filming and shots you guys get every week. A lot of your videos are as good, if not better, than a Nat Geo shoot.

[@orientwave1527]

Ohh, you're both so brave and adventurous!

[@comfortablynumb9342]

There are red land crabs in Costa Rica on the Pacific side that look the same as the ones you showed. They come out of the jungle and eat a lot of plants and random stuff in yards. They ate my kevlar fish cleaning gloves that were cut proof. And they get run over by the millions, then stink. And the live ones are happy to eat the dead ones. They're a bit of a pain for a few weeks or a month. Great video, what a beautiful place.

[@robbo1040]

Thanks

[@laurenwebb7238]

Thanks so much for sharing your journeys ,been watching from the start, hubby and I are living out a dream we once had through your adventures so refreshing , so educational as well !🥰

[@microdia1]

I got excited when Fran mentioned unicorn fish. They are some of the best eating in the ocean! Hope you can try one soon!

[@haemhorrhoidian]

You see this is why i love watching you both on your channel, not only are you both wonderful people you're incredibly inteligent too, as soon as i saw the corals and the damage that had been done to them i knew for myself they were probably best left alone, i love the fact you recognised that for yourselves and chose the best course of action, for 35 years now i've been harping on about how we should do more to protect our oceans, so so many people have ignored what i say or thought what i say isn't needed and i feel thats very sad, it is however really lovely to see you both do right by what we should all love and nurcher 🙂 much love from the UK, keep spreading the good work 🙂

[@strickandfran]

Thanks a lot mate! Really appreciate your comment and caring for the environment ☺️ we will 🍻

I don't know what part of the world you are from Jill, I was hopping to meet some lady to accompany me for possible my last trip going from Apollo Bay, Victoria, towing an 8.3 meter lockable half cabin; driving to King Ash Bay (Fishing Club Camping grounds) launching my roof top tinny and big boat into the MacArthur River. From there I have been before on two trips touring the Sir Edward Pellow group of islands and then up to Groote Eylandt, then up above Blue Mud Bay. Regards Alex T.

[@alexandertelehin3425]

​@@rajahhindi3921 Hi Rajah, I hope you are having a good day. I agree with you about Groote Eylandt; but if you fish to the north East Island of Groote, on the western side in 23 metres of water I caught two, five kg long nose Emperor, 2 Red emperor in between the two Islands in 3 meters of water, in the same location I was catching Queen after Queen fish for a solid hour before I gave up before I broke my good 7 foot rod. Chasm Island you can catch as many Coral Trout as you can handle if the Barracoota don't bite them in half, on the west side; but on the east side of Chasm, big Mangrove jack on the shore under your feet, Emperor and well to the west of Chasm I caught several large, small mouth Nannygai next to a very large rock sticking out of the water, oysters the length of my hand, eight inches or 20cm long shell, on the rocks, yummy. Woodah Island on the west side, Finger Mark Bream up to 75cm long; and on other Islands with steep cliffs ( eagles nest ) to the North West of Woodah Threadfin Fin Salmon up to 75cm and heaps of Emperor. Rajah, it all depends on where you fish. Good fishing buddy.
