Surprised by Monster Fish while Ultralight Fishing

Micro jigging on the coast of Australia for Salmon on ultra light fishing gear!
The session started off with an endless amount of smaller fish, before I was surprised by the biggest salmon I have ever caught, taking a micro jig on the very first cast!

Australian Salmon are an exciting fish to catch, especially when you test them against some ultralight fishing gear! This tackle was tested by the giant that I caught, but I will be back to chase them very soon, with even lighter gear! I hope you enjoyed, see you all soon :))

2 fish with 1 lure is amazing

[@PootuffyFishing]

Hahaha I know, I couldn't believe it, actually happened a number of times this past summer!

[@lucylesic6816]

sick vid!! editing skills just as good as fishing skills :) great watch

[@PootuffyFishing]

Haha thank you legend!! Appreciate it 🫡

[@hudsonPires-jo8pw]

2 fish one lure is crazy

[@PootuffyFishing]

HAHA I know, happened a few more times on other days as well!

[@BeneathTheWavesFishingJersey]

Area looks lush. Love the light setup too. Subbed from jersey uk - keep it going. We fish similar areas here but obviously not the same fish 😊

[@PootuffyFishing]

It's such a nice spot for sure! Thank you for the sub! Welcome to the channel! I go to the UK quite often but haven't fished much around the country since I was young. I would love to head down to Jersey some day to chase some pollack or maybe even sea bass! All the best 😊

[@Ivan-Lesic27]

Great video. Loved the double hook up on one lure

[@PootuffyFishing]

Hahaha it was nuts! Always a funny thing to happen, has actually happened a couple times over the past few months! Thanks for watching 💪

[@ob20again37]

Nice salmon bro! I catch tons that size and tailor too. 40-50gram halco twisty in chrome colour and a medium speed retrieve is the best lure for sure 😉

[@PootuffyFishing]

Thank you man! I appreciate you watching! I love halco twistys, will definitely give them more of a go this winter! Should be seen in future vids so keep an eye out for that!

[@ob20again37]

[@jacobszla]

Let’s go!!! Salmon vids are always gooooooooood!

[@PootuffyFishing]

Thank you brokoooo! I have a lot of fun making them, such a good fish to catch! Thanks for watching as always 🙏

Yess ladd!!! Thanks so much for watching legend, more coming very sooonnn!

[@Fishingontop69955]

Love your videos keep up the good work🤙

[@PootuffyFishing]

Thank you so much legend! That means a lot, more on the way

[@KaneMckeown-or7pt]

Nice job! It might be a while before I’m back out fishing so this is an entertaining option

[@PootuffyFishing]

Me too man! I won't get much good fishing in for a few months I think, luckily I have a few videos banked up to keep them rolling out for now, thanks for watching brother! Means a lot :))

[@thomasnardelli2181]

Absolutely love your videos bro, they are so entertaining and I love watching them. I need help I want to catch literally anything on lures and I can't catch a cold do you have any ideas of where to go at all bro thanks

[@PootuffyFishing]

Thank you so much legend! That means a lot to hear :)) learning how to tie a good leader to braid knot is probably one of the best things I did when I first started getting into using lures, braid makes working lures/detecting bites so much easier! Another tip is to incorporate a lot of pauses in your retrieve, fish often attack a stationary lure. Where abouts are you located? I could help you find some spots in your local area 🫡

[@thomasnardelli2181]

@@PootuffyFishing Thanks so much bro yeah I definitely fish with braid I tie a double uni at the moment and I have a coupple of good combos For plastics Im based in like the CBD of Melbourne but my parents live in werribee and I don't mind a drive anywhere within about an hour is awesome so any ideas you have would be really appreciated I can DM you on insta if you don't want to broadcast spots for everyone Thanks so much mate

[@PootuffyFishing]

Awesome brother! Definitely send me a message and I can point you in the right direction for some spots you can have some good success around your area!

[@adriangray459]

Pvc rod holder bro! Mad Fish!

[@PootuffyFishing]

Haha I definitely need one! Will have one next time for sure! Thanks for the suggestion and thanks for watching brother 🤙

[@Fly_On_a_Wall]

Nice vid. What weight lure?

[@PootuffyFishing]

Thank you! From memory I think the jig is around 20grams and the diving lure is 9grams! The metal jig was quite a bit over the weight rating for this rod but it seemed to handle it well haha! Hope this helps

[@FlattyHub]

I got a 76cm salmon the other day

[@PootuffyFishing]

That's amazing! Awesome stuff brother!

[@undyneuwu2541]

were was the monster fish? anyway nice tadpole sesh

[@PootuffyFishing]

Hahaha 'tadpole sesh' thank you for the kind words, was still fun to get one that big on 6lbs, most people chasing salmon use 30lbs line on a 5-10kg rod haha

[@georgeparas5289]

what (general) part of Australia is this?

[@PootuffyFishing]

Near NSW/VIC border :))

[@georgeparas5289]

@@PootuffyFishing Thanks! My wife & I love to fish a number of the beaches on the Sth coast of NSW, and have had some fun with Australian Salmon, including the odd monster one. We're encouraged by your style & action you've shared. Appreciated!

[@PootuffyFishing]

That sounds awesome! I'm actually up in south coast NSW as I type this, just up here for a wedding, wish I could've got some fishing in though haha! Glad to hear you enjoy the videos, hope there's more great fishing on the horizon for you and your wife! All the best :))

[@Shroomania]

What part of Australia is this.

[@PootuffyFishing]

East Coast :)

[@Zeph568]

where is this spot!?

[@PootuffyFishing]

North Vic near Marlo, but any beach south of Byron bay through to Western Australia will have good salmon like this to be caught!
