I was very impressed by your first aid skills!!! Well done 👍 you save her life!!!

[@danw3949]

The real deal Matt. Impressive knowing to puncture it. And did it perfectly. You're all class

[@scottmills3185]

Your a great teacher sir and it’s fantastic to you through those mummers back

[@brettwayne4583]

Wonderful to see such a beautiful big fish go back. Awesome.

[@jimmyrentz8789]

Awesome vid guys!! Congratulations on the huge snapper!!

[@lassehahn1794]

the thning inside its mouth is NOT the swimbladder! Its the stomach and it's starting to turn inside out (thats why you can see a "tip") bcs the swimbladder has got a hole/rupture at this point. That fish is most likely dead by now..

[@bikingis4me48]

It's only 30 metres deep not exactly deep sea fishing

[@rahiricooper]

I wonder weather they would survive that. Interesting.

[@fcy9722]

@@rahiricooper that fish would easily have survived that

[@grahamhoward3444]

I'm all ways fishing and I'm 8 years old kaching snapper on my dad's bout you are the best man in the world

[@SalvationInLordJesus]

Catching*

[@Sethonious]

You need a Shelton Fish Descender. Easy way to release big breeders without puncturing organs. It is a very popular tool here in California.

[@duch1111]

Hey Matt can you explain the swim bladder?

[@Sn00py748]

I caught a 30 pounder when I was like 6 or 7

[@jimmyteantad7087]

You’re Awesome Matt.👍👍

[@phillspearsfish]

Have we ever tagged a snap that we popped the swim bladder on to know that they make it? I love the idea but wondering if we know they'll actually recover and breed or should we take these ones?(Inflated swim bladder fish) Also as always, thanks for showing how to catch epic fish!

[@bradloch9397]

BeRad I really enjoy watching you shows when they are shown in Australia or older shows on KZbin. What rod are you fishing the overhead reel. I am looking to match a 20- 40lb to my overhead Talica 8. find hard to find one with a palm grip and a longer butt to tuck up undef my arm.

[@JENNYIKOO]

Nice video.....Good catch.....Await for next video.
