Mate. that is extreme solo fishing - hard to get a true impression of how hard that trek in was. No wonder you and Cavy get on so well, kindred spirits - just different main quarry. Kingies are our GTs. Good work on getting some release footage this time, after a few hiccups on the previous vid. You nailed the whole thing bro.

[@JEWildsFishing]

Thanks man stoked to here your enjoying it! Yeah haha, the gopro sucked in water on the last trip so lost all the footage of the kingi releases 😵‍💫

[@TheGenkidia]

Awesome Video man!! Awesome New Rod style too!! i wish i lived in Australia or New Zealand Man!! I live waaaay in the Bahamas. Maybe one day i can come and fish along with you on your adventures. Take care man. All the best with your new Dragger Project, it looks fantastic!! Tight Lines!! Big Love from the Bahamas!!

[@paulhiakita251]

Hey Joe, I'm almost 70 and I'm missing doing it off the rocks for any kind of fish. Catching big uns is so exciting and to watch your fishing skills is great to see. Your making me salivate and stir with a hunger to get me weary old man bod out there again. I remember while trying to get to a good spot, I had to swim across a couple of small gutts. I got out of the last one ,turned back to see a 12ft at least white pointer go past as I climbed out. When your young your more fearless or stupid, I'm just glad I still got all my limbs. Great fishing and catches Joe. As always, hunting or fishing, your the man. Cheers bro for making me hunger again. Most I did in one day was 7 king's off lures.

[@JEWildsFishing]

I'm real happy your enjoying the videos, that was a big part of why is started filming these trips, to try and make it feel like your out there with me. Thanks for the support and I hope you do manage to get out and fish again 💪🏻

That's some hardcore fishing right there...risking your life swimming across waters infested with great whites to get a prime fishing spot, then dealing with those sharp rocks and wicked surf while handling fish more the capable of knocking a full-grown man off his feet...that's true dedication to the sport. Well done sir.

[@johnd1727]

FFS - surely there is some sort of small inflatable you could pack in for the crossings. Maybe install a couple of ring bolts to secure a line for the return - when you are loaded up with fish which increases the risk of shark attention. Not to mention you have to cross both ways.

[@kellygwdobbs]

I've watched a few videos lately of fishing trips like yours. They're so exciting! Thanks. But why do you catch fish, throw all of them back, then go back to camp and eat steak? It might just be that I love fresh fish and don't get it very often. But when I go fishing, it's fish for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

[@WinnebagoBrewingCo]

For the last 10 years I've wanted to move to NZ. Your videos have inspired me to finally give the place a visit and scout the country out for a potential move. Seems like paradise.... except for the sharks. I don't know how you spend as much time actually in the water as you do. I hope you're not putting on an extra show for youtube. The Simon Nellist attack shows just how dangerous those deep waters are off prime fishing rocks in your part of the world.

[@davidecfishing3117]

Next level skilled fisherman!🙌 Amazing scenery and editing, love the long videos, thank you man 👍

[@JEWildsFishing]

Cheers bro glad you enjoyed it!

[@dagandreassen3115]

So easy for you to make those videos when you live in a continent that have warm sea water, warm weather. You wouldn't do the same in Northern part of Norway where the temperature of the sea, summer time, is max 10°C and winter time just above freezing. But big cods over 30 kg or Halibut over 150 kg isn't unusual to get from land. Are you not allowed to catch and cook your own catch or do you need to bring your own food with you? Sounds a bit strange.

[@terrygentry7021]

Dude, I'm currently going through chemotherapy and fighting for my life and you are taking stupid chances with yours swimming with Great White Sharks to get likes on KZbin. Don't be so careless with the one life you are blessed to have. Peace.

[@BELLOCCHIVERDE]

I’m a city boy from Brooklyn New York and there’s a lot of things that I have seen done that others would probably be afraid of but what you do crossing the waters to get from point A to point B.. knowing that there are sharks and you’re all alone well… that’s where I draw the line. I am a big fan of KZbin like many and thousands of others but I would never do what you’re doing Brother you’re doing it as a sport and then you throw them back in.. I’ve been fishing but it seems pretty cool, but I would never jump in the water to get from one side to the other with sharks.. that is a huge NO NO! Stay safe brother

[@Puka-ty-ah-808]

Brah you is crazaay 😂 I'd Never get in that 🦈 y water

[@TruthDragon.]

You should be scared of that spot because if that is a deep drop off just off shore, it will be excellent Great White Shark hunting territory, particularly if the rocks you were fishing on are used by seals and if a seal rookery is nearby (within 1/2 to 1 mile or 1 to 2 KM). Rookeries typically locate where the sand meats the rocks (particularly dark rocks) because the seals will haul out on the soft sand and then climb up on the rocks to sun themselves to get warm. White sharks will lurk over the rock near the seal haul out point during pupping season and will wait for an unsuspecting seal to swim by to ambush. Also, if you are on a point, typically a point indicates an underwater canyon directly off the point that White Sharks use to ambush prey (just look at an underwater topo map of the area and you will see how a point break very often indicates and off shore canyon). The Whites swim deep, up the center of the underwater canyon looking up for seal silhouettes at the surface and then they ambush the seals from below. The dark rock color hides the shark's dark back from the seals looking down into the gloom. Chances are not super high you will be attacked just randomly going in the water there, but if you are in the right location (the one I described), your chances of shark attack go way the hell up in comparison to locations that are not ideal White Shark hunting grounds. I once met a young lady from Australia (at my daughters summer camp in the United States) who was ambush attacked at a point break in Australia. She was a local Ausie and told me she thought it was just test biting her, but when she told me the story, I knew that was not the case because it came in hard and fast on her from below (she was lying on her board in about 20 to 30 feet of water off a point break). I told her she was lucky to be alive as the White Shark thought she was a seal and ambushed her. One tooth got her arm right below the elbow and left a nasty scar which I asked her about and that is when she told me what happened. I told her not to surf that break during that time of year anymore because Whites tend to return to the same locations on their migration paths and they tend to do so at the same time of year. One thing I am trying to teach people about predators is that humans are hardwired to know when they are in an area with conditions that is ideal for predator hunting. Dark gloomy forests or oceans always give people the creeps and there is a reason for that. It is an evolved instinct that humans have to raise their adrenaline and awareness of the environment when they are in one of these ideal predator hunting grounds. Your fear is caused by your natural instinct to know you are in a dangerous place. You need to listen to that fear. I have no idea where you were in this video, but what you say about the place early in the video is enough to cause me some concern and spend time writing this post to teach you and your audience about sharks. Just know that by the numbers, in this century, shark attacks have increased 500% as compared to last century. Your chances of shark attack are growing because some shark populations are growing (due to protections put in place decades ago) and if you do not learn how to manage shark attack risk in modern times, your chances of being attacked will go way up. White Sharks are starting to swim into areas where they previously rarely ever traveled because their numbers have grown so large that the best hunting grounds are saturated, forcing less dominate sharks to seek new hunting grounds. For Whites and Tigers, these new hunting grounds tend to be located around newly formed and/or growing seal rookeries or turtle egg laying beaches. If you feel like an area where you need to swim is sharky, I would wear goggles and look down into the water as you swim. Put the rock at your back to avoid sneak attacks and carry a pointy stick that is at least 3 feet long. I would not worry about any sharks except Great Whites, Tigers, and bulls (and maybe Oceanic White Tips if you are near a deep water drop-off) as these are the only really dangerous species (most sharks eat fish and crustaceans and could care less about humans unless you piss them off). If you see a shark, keep your eyes on it and do not panic. Sharks will not attack if they know you are looking at them. Stay calm and if it swims at you, swim back at it because that will scare it. Prey runs from sharks in a panic while dangerous animals show no fear and might even aggressively approach other predators so use the body language of a dangerous animal to put fear into the shark. If a shark gets too close, use the pointy stick to nudge it away by touching it near its nose, eyes or gills (if you are ever attacked, peal the shark's eyelid back (they are weak and easy to peal back) and shove your finger in behind the eye of the shark and yank its eye out-that will stop the sharks attack immediately). The best thing to do to know how to behave with large predatory sharks in the water with you is watch footage of the pros swimming with Whites and Tigers and contrast that with the fearful panic of Heather Boswell when she was attacked off the coast of CA. She lost her leg because she panicked and attracted the shark to her like a lure. Notice that the scientists are not fearful if the sharks are well fed (such as at a whale carcass) or there is a manageable number of sharks in the area (based on whether you have some skilled spotters in the water with you). Its all about mimicking the body language of a dangerous animal rather than behaving like prey. You should also wear clothes that break up your silhouette to make sure you do not look like a seal. Stripped patterns apparently work really well. One last thing is to swim in calm areas where there are no waves breaking. White Sharks will hide behind the bubbles from breaking waves and swim through the wave bubbles to catch a seal off-guard on the other side of the wave. Who knows what a shark will do if it stumbles on you when you were hidden behind a wave. Stay safe.

[@adventureswithloviematt]

excellent video bro! Some bigboy fishes you caught . Watching from Trinidad!

[@Peter-zg3em]

it seems like you guys fairly frequently end up targeting these kings after they've been brought to the ledge and are posting up within 10-20 meters or less, sometimes right at your feet. at those distances and speeds it doesn't look like a stickbait is optimal. i understand that the way you guys connect tackle is different and therefor you guys switch plugs less than we do around here, but have you considered moving to a large spook when the fish are close to the shore like that and you've got the time to make several casts at them? spook plugs are long, rounded, buoyant walk the dog style plugs which were invented in the states for largemouth fishing 75-100 years ago. but they've been increasingly used to target large gamefish in saltwater and people wire them with 2 mil for tuna, dorado, big jacks and snook, tarpon and other heavy gamefish. they're a lot more practical for the kind of action you are eliciting along that ledge than a stickbait would be. they work optimally at a medium to slower speed and can be used at an absolute crawl. i'd be very curious to see how effective they are when targeting those kings that have made their way up to the ledge. out in that current i don't think you'd have a buoyant enough plug to get optimal action with a spook an a stickbait or open face popper would be the way to go, but in that eddyline and sub 15 meters or so there's nothing like a spook because you have so much more control over the plug at those speeds. no plug on the planet works better on slow cadence and with the pause. cheers. one of the best fishing accounts on youtube.

[@timechild1261]

Which lures are you using for walking the dog in salt?

[@Peter-zg3em]

@@timechild1261 we call them spooks, many different manufacturers make them in the 1.6 mil wire. guys around the world probably call them different things. we use "pencil poppers" for longer casts but they're really not a walk the dog in the traditional sense, they are very erratic and don't have that same back and forth cadence, and really just tear up water as much as possible. i use different kinds of spooks, lots of guys make them, but the traditional big spook for saltwater around here is called "the doc." heavy duty wire, 7 and 9" models, and they weigh about 100 grams. they're plastic and around 20 bucks USD, too. some guys make a thru wired wooden plug and they're usually 25-40. beats a 150-200 dollar stickbait price tag for sure. yo use the spooks very similar to how he's using his stickbait here when the fish are close to the shore. rod tip down, one twich on the rod equals one twitch of the plug. get the rhythm down and you will walk the dog. spooks have this wandering, ponderous action that still tracks and is totally predictable and controllable and is tough to beat at slow speeds.

[@jack-he7fv]

Spooks aren’t widely available in the nz tackle market. I have used them before, no doubt they work on the kings but stickbaits are still the way to go most of the time in my opinion. A lot of the time the kings are very fussy and require a fast, erratic action with lots of kick and splash to entice an idle fish into biting. Another concern with American style spooks is that they aren’t strong enough. Kings are far more powerful than snooks or jacks, a heddon spook for example would be ripped in half while fighting a king, pe10 gear locked up is just too much drag to handle for mass market plastic lures designed for pe2-4. If a heavy duty spook with the same thick gauge through-wire style was available I’d be interested but haven’t found one yet.

[@Peter-zg3em]

@@jack-he7fv no one is suggesting a heddon spook. A wire is a wire and a bluefin tuna is stronger than a king fish or gt or anything else on the planet and they’re landed on 2mm all the time. you’ll probably get better steel in the us than you’ll get abroad. Just get a plug with a 2 mm wire. I’ve seen them in 2.3 but it’s not practical on spin, something will break before your wire does. Plenty of them around timber, resin, heavy duty plastics. Stronger than a big nomad, for example, and that’s a wired plug designed for kingfish. They’ll get much better action in that last 10 meter stretch where he’s getting most of his fish.
