Tackling the ANGRIEST fish in the ocean 60km Offshore…. SOLO!

Ahoy Fisho's, This week I try to tackle the ANGRIEST fish in the ocean SOLO, in a small boat, 60km Offshore! That's right I'm back to try and have another go at the might blue marlin. Luckily the weather is a lot better this week and as it goes to show the fish are very much on the chew as well! It doesn't take too long at all before the first reel of the day starts howling!
Of course, there's always time for a cheeky deep drop or two once the trolling is done! Hope you enjoy the episode guys!

Love the shows Sammy, just wondering why you don't wear a lifejacket, solo and so far from shore? Safety first brother!

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

@@ThePracticalBeekeeperMelbourne Hey Mate, I was wearing a lifejacket the whole time. It’s the thing around my waist and the little yellow rectangle is PLB. If you check out the video I did last week I went through all the safety gear I use on solo trips. It’s at the end of the video 👍

[@pablo_jeffscobar_8988]

Anyone else notice Sammy’s inner Steve Irwin come out when he realised he’s got to do what he can to get that Marlin healthy again? Well done Legend!

[@kirkwoolston6932]

100% mate. Love that.

[@aussieswatching3135]

Agree, can’t understand why he doesn’t have more subs.. such a great channel.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Appreciate it legends! Was great to see him swim off strongly after a bit of TLC 🍻🍻

[@pearcebrown1043]

Epic trip out mate! The way you looked after those marlin is commendable. Loved how you picked up that plastic too mate!

Great release of a Blue Marlin Sammy

[@slipperybeastaviationfishingsh]

Amazing video Sammy. Wow 2 Marline, grouper and snapper. Thank you so much for having us feel that we are out there with you. I enjoyed the video fully. Greetings from USA 🇺🇸

[@kirkwoolston6932]

Another banger thanks Sammy!!

[@Sexyduffman420]

Your channel is so cool man. I wish I could get down there and fish those waters again. Went there one time as a kid but only used a hand reel on a trashy tourist fishing operation. The reel was ripped from my tiny hands by the first decent fish i hooked. Did my first scuba dive too off the great barrier reef and saw thousands of hammerhead sharks swimming in a school they must have been migrating or something. It was majestic. One of the coolest things I've ever seen.

[@chrisleigh8556]

Well done champion good to see you ticking off the list can tell you were having a solid deep drop session out there couldn’t help but notice the old fly down half way through the deep drop but happens to the best of us 🍻
