The Fantasy Slam | Trying to catch every Billfish species in 12 MONTHS!

[@markturner9459]

Love the Sammy/Sean videos! Keep them coming.

[@ChristopherBrown-w4n]

Congrats Sammy and Shauno on an amazing and possibly unmatched achievement on Mojo ! The excitement in the swordfish capture was easily the highlight of the year for me. Cheers mates and well done !

[@karl4793]

Nailed it - target species achieved - servo pie voms, Metallica and beers ! Love it !! Epic year gents

[@AnthonyNelson-gy3vr]

For the last 5 years I’ve watched this channel every Sunday…. This episode is by far one of the best! Only gets better as you go Sammy! Cheers 🍻

[@crikeymacca]

Bit disappointed that I drunk 3 beers during that video and you guys didn’t finish one 😂😂

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

😂😂😂 we were only sitting there for 20 or so minutes in real time. It was also 8:30am but that’s not a massive deal breaker 😂🍻🍻

[@Kerry242]

Congratulations boys. That's an epic achievement but one I'm really sure your going to top in the future. Such a great watch hats off to you Lads.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Haha I’m not sure how well top that one to be honest, but can certainly give it a red hot crack! 😂👌

[@Westozzie-m8i]

Nice work boys big congratulations. It's something I'll probably never do but love watching. Keep up the good work

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Glad you enjoyed it mate! Thanks very much for watching 🍻🍻

[@jacovandermerwe5152]

Congrats Gents. Watched every catch thru out the year…. All the way from South Africa!! Well done

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Thanks for tuning in mate! Cheers 🍻🍻

[@terrytailor]

Fantastic achievement boys. I wasn't sure if you would get #6. I remember how long it took to get your first blue Sam! Yep, what a year! Well done. Bring on 2025......but not before we go for the annual Christmas seafood shopping trip 😊

[@ReelTeaserProduction]

Epic work Gents. Blood amazing feat, and a super good edit. I did all but the sword in a year off the Goldy in my small boat. Still yet to tick that off. We've caught 4 shortbills out the front here, 2x in one day. They are always mixed in near the tunas.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

🙌🙌🙌 cheers mate! Yeah the swordy and the spear were always going to be hard ones to tick off. Just lucky they both came through in the same year! 👌👌

[@timbritten5944]

Hey Sammy, You definitely saved the best till last, what a great video. I felt like I was there with you guys across the entire montage of adventures, you Shauno & the rest of the guys got to experience. Congratulations to all of you on nailing the 6 outta 6 in a single year, absolutely it's the year of years, you put in the time & effort & that's what gets the results at the end of the day. Merry Christmas to you & your family, Shauno's & the other guys as well, understand if we don't see videos every Sunday arvo over the next few weeks, enjoy the time with your family & loved ones. BTW, got a suggestion for a section in one of your videos - sun protection. A friend of a friend just passed away from melanoma, any chance you could do a segment on sun protection / sun screen. You got the same fair skin as I reckon a lot of us Aussies inherited. If it keeps another one of us alive, I reckon that's a winner. Best wishes Tim

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

G’day Tim, Thanks very much mate, glad you enjoyed it and really appreciate the kind words! Yeah as you would know from what I wear out on the boat I also take my sun protection pretty seriously. I just cover up these days! I’ll make sure I mention it in some upcoming videos 👍👍 Merry Xmas to you and yours as well mate 🍻🍻

[@deefa_damo]

Well done fellas, big 2024 achievement. Thanks for sharing, and thanks for shortening the 2 long days trolling for the blue into a more easily arm-chair digestible segment!

[@graemegalloway5190]

Hi from England You guys are great team together, really enjoy Sunday watching your postings Sammy, have a great Christmas and New Year. Tightlines Graeme

[@davetackett1622]

Great content fellas. And Congrats!

[@danpark6183]

Lads getting it done💪 Always a good ep with you pair of knuckleheads✌️🍻

[@mattberezwick3667]

The Mojo 6. Congratulations to all involved.

[@johnwaddell8390]

Congrats guys. That Redonkules wiggle head has worked well raising two fish last week off Ballina. All ready put my list into Santa.

[@rayhernandez5670]

The boat gets the credit, always a team effort. A Captain, deck mate are just as critical as the man on the rod to get big fish in the boat.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

That’s it mate, always a team effort 👌👌🍻🍻

[@goodguysfishing2711]

Oh here we go! I just spoke to our IGFA representative about trying for the slam next year Edit: Just finished watching the video. Congratulations guys!

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

🙌🙌🙌 thanks mate! Glad you enjoyed it, and all the best with your slam quest! 🍻🍻

[@Cornish666]

Boys you now have my full respect ! Metallica after the catch is class 👌. Nah top work on the billfish sweep . Great to watch the banter with you and shauno . Keep it up. 👍

[@77leinad]

Well done to both of you, certainly not an easy task. Back in the early 2000's with the help of Brad and Ben Job we did manage to get 4 (Black/Stripe/Blue/Short Bill) on SeaRay (now called Lucky Stike) we had a plan to chase Swords but back then we thought night fishing was the way..... P.S. a mate jumped over to clear a line from a prop after catching a Blue off the GC in the 90's, heard banging on the deck and stuck his head up..... The guys ripped him out of the water just as a Tiger tried to eat him 😥

[@jarrodtodd918]

Awesome fellas. Well done 👏👏

[@pacman5590]

Now just to crack a meter flatty! Great job boys!

[@PalmsRedMan]

Your face Sean with that Sailfish. Priceless

[@davidpanic779]

[@nathanadventures5204]

[@AUSSIEF761]

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Thanks mate! It’s definitely on the list, will have to make the trip down there sooner or later 👌🍻🍻

[@tomgreen5788]

Well done lads happy for u the adrenaline must have been putting like crazy on the master one I know mine would've been I wish I could've done that

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Hahah I dunno about that, we’re still sitting on the fence with the tat 😂😂

[@garrybutler9030]

@SammyHitzkeFishing I don't think Sean is on the fence. We all saw the marlin tat. One upmanship required👍

I did see Sean on another channel in the Gulf of Mexico with his rod bent.

[@icatchthings]

underrated killers👌👌👌

[@icatchthings]

It’s easy to watch and go yeah that’s cool but I don’t think people understand how rare this really is.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Hahah yeah it’s a pretty tough one to tick of, luckily made the most of the opportunities we had! 👌👌🍻🍻

[@WoodandSteel]

Need to make a decal showing you caught the 6. Sort of like fighter aircraft.

I needed a good guy on the gaff, but all I had was Sammy 😂

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Hahah he shouldn’t be throwing that shade 😂😂

[@TWENTYB]

@SammyHitzkeFishing you 2 are both in the running for Worst gaff man on KZbin 2024. 🤣

[@pshgold]

competition idea: "Billfish-Bingo!" - Catch all 6 billfish in a calendar year. - Provide suitable evidence to SH - Win an exclusive Billfish-Bingo shirt 🎉 I'm playing in 2025 😅

[@thegrouperking]

Good to have a bud like shawno to fish with great friends what it’s all about

[@chadelz]

SHF on a Sunday morning with my steak and eggs, has become a habit.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Haha how good is that! Enjoy mate, thanks for tuning in! 🍻🍻

[@Private_Idaho_1]

Those swords are easier to catch if you hook them instead of lassoing them!

[@stevenquigley4208]

Hey.. What is that orangefish that jumped into the boat at the end?? 😂😂😂😂

[@andrewdonald8061]

Should get Graeme Cahill out hooked up to a big deep reef species.

[@elizabethcarrington5819]

Congratulations guys! Way to go! 😊❤️

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Thanks very much! 🙌🙌

[@jamesleadbeatter3632]

34sec ago that's good timing to finish a fishing trip

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Hahah timed to perfection 👌👌

[@smee103]

Just out of curiosity how much does a day chasing marlin cost. Brilliant effort as always guys

[@hennies9509]

Damn nice work, boys Cape Town South Africa. (Springbok Rugby 🏉 is the best!!!) Was it just the combination of food, or do you guys suffer from sea sickness?

[@evo2102]

Mojo got the moje

[@johnsykes706]

Lets be honest, until you caught a Short Bill Spearfish you didn't even consider this, but once you did, well, why wouldn't you go for it?

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

100% mate, we’d both never caught one before so always figured it would be a long shot! Spear and sword were always going to be the tough ones! 👌🍻🍻

[@andrewbeltran4003]

Do not understand Pacific fishermen- the rarest billfish is a spearfish and you kill them. Does not make sense. Everyday they will be rarer!
