Topwater Fishing for GIANT Fish!?!

[@NevsFishing]

To everyone who’s saying the drone is “cheating” please understand that I would catch these fish either way, I’m simply doing it for YOUR entertainment and to show how these beasts hunt! I actually catch less fish when I’m using the drone, I spook so many flathead while looking at my screen, they are also harder to spot then you’d think and when you do spot them a lot of the time they get spooked in the process. To everyone else, I hope you enjoyed the video!! How epic!! Cheers, Nev

[@chriscoyne4827]

That was bloody amazing love it so more of it please

[@davidongley3435]

Nev, I'm an experienced photographer and fisherman so I am impressed by what you have done. You operate three cameras, a drone, a kayak and fish - all successfully. That's serious multi-tasking. I wouldn't bother defending yourself to anyone.

[@carlkermode899]

Not cheating at all mate, its an extra dimension to the entertainment value. I love it. You do your thing and let them do theirs.

[@NevsFishing]

Thanks everyone! 😀

[@whitewhale-gq2kc]

You are not cheating Nev. Awesome stuff!

[@davidongley3435]

The best clip you have ever done? It's the best fishing video ever done by anyone. Using the drone to find your fish and then film a surface take is incredible, Nev. Watching those two big flatties come up to that lure was exciting stuff.

[@NevsFishing]

Wow, thanks! Glad you think so😁

[@Anatoly-f8u]

Что за рыба?

[@marcospalmeira5988]

Belo exemplar, pescaria top! Qual o nome desse peixe?

[@RickyVolks]

thanks for great show!

[@phuckGoogle]

It gives you so much information on their hunting as well I love watching them before they take it just sussing it out

[@YuriPicanco]

One of the best fishing videos I have ever watched. This format is very entertaining. The different angles, the voice over. I could watch videos like this for hours! Keep it up mate

[@yep.fishing]

Keep up the hard work legend! Awesome stuff

[@NevsFishing]

Thanks! Will do man! Really appreciate the super :)

[@mikeflanagan4096]

Congrats mate. I having been watching your love of fishing for ages. I’m so glad you got the girl, the drone shot and the lady lived to see another day.

[@shanepeterson1986]

The drone view mixed with the first person view is absolutely legendary! I love how clear the water was and how good the drone picked up the lies.

[@russelthomson5065]

I've never been in such suspense watching a fishing video before. Thoroughly enjoyable. I do believe you just set the bar, not only for all other channels on KZbin but also for yourself. That was hunting, not fishing and you nailed it. Well done Nev!

[@NevsFishing]

Yeah going to be hard to top this one!

[@andosaquatics980]

Mate your flatty drone videos are sick! Please keep doing these. It's an awesome idea that I haven't seen before.

[@NevsFishing]

Thanks! Will do!

[@jamieelliott3723]

Great stuff Nev. I've been fishing for fifty years and I must say its one of the best things Ive ever seen. Its interesting how the Flattie sees the lure and then quickly jumps forward to an ambush spot and then hits. Truly epic stuff mate.

[@NevsFishing]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@StimpeeYT]

I've been waiting for this one, big Nev.

[@NevsFishing]

Hope it lived up-to expectations

[@TryABaconSlice]

I'm a filthy little flatty and I need to be caught

[@jak0x622]

[@steverudge2561]

Loving the drone footage. it shows us a bit of how Flatties react to lures. It's a great chance to learn more about these great fish.

[@t-roy6715]

thanks for sharing these vids mate! you can learn so much about these fish just from watching these drone vids of yours, thanks for opening my eyes just a little more about these great fish.

[@macrophage345]

Thanks

[@NevsFishing]

Thanks heaps for the super mate :)

[@johnpower5001]

Congratulations Nev. The best footage ever. That's one of the biggest Flatheads I've seen and well done releasing it. Top effort

[@jasondo21]

I think your drone shots are absolutely awesome and something new that is really needed in fishing videos.

[@nickfranklin1867]

That was so cool watching the big flathead stalking the lure then the hook up, the drone adds another dimension, good work Nev!

[@NevsFishing]

Thanks 👍

[@The_Dawg_father]

100% freaking awesome dude. The setting, the conditions, the camera work, the catch , all of it. Incredibly well done. You sir, are a rock star.

[@simonellis8092]

Footage like this will make you a global fishing star - don’t pay any attention to the haters. Congrats!

[@Johan-ex5yj]

*What a brilliant way to use a drone!* First to find the fish (Reconnaissance). Then for target observation while launching the lure at it. 🎣 *Very entertaining to watch too!* ☺👍

[@mundydiludovico5268]

Great footage Nev, you are onto something here. Nice to see the take, it’s the most exiting part, and to release them in great condition as well especially on these big girls is great to see. Keep up the fantastic footage it’s something a lot of us would love to do but due to work and family commitments it’s a bit hard getting out there. Look forward to your next one, hope the weather co operates.

[@TrentTaylor-w8q]

One of the best fishing videos I've ever watched. Just awesome footage and drone shots.

[@DylanCantFish]

The drone footage is always great, and watching the flat head strike is always so cool.

[@moored1979]

Loving the new drone stuff mate ... i love how each time that big girl wasnt really that interested at first, until the smaller fish made a move, then instantly she moved in and said bugger off little fella thats mine lol

[@sethsm402]

YES NEV I need more, so cool seeing where fish hold and how they follow lures on the retrieve. Borrowed the old mans drone to go have a gander myself.

[@peterRobinson10101]

this is one of the best fishing videos i have seen. So good thanks for that.

[@aydenh8816]

2:11 that right there is wallpaper worthy

[@trxq7173]

Watching Nev is now my weekly routine 😅

[@NevsFishing]

Love that!

[@mackayguyy]

[@mickbraidstar4291]

Now that was a big lizard nev,bloody wow!! And that take off the Surface with the drone footage was epic. Love your content mate, keep it up. 🤘

[@tonstasfishing]

Mate your right it doesn't get better. Awesome footage being able to see how the big flatties hunt. Cheers mate

[@NevsFishing]

No problem 👍

[@PM-lz5gs]

[@flickwithmick]

Oh my goodness, this is probably the best thing ive seen on youtube and thats no understatement brother

[@NevsFishing]

Appreciate it brother! Turned out good, very happy with this one :)

[@MatWalter-q3h]

Admittedly some of the coolest fishing footage I have ever seen. like you said... so clear.

[@brewstamacbeth981]

Love the drone cam Nev!! So freaking exciting. Love the underwater release cam too!!

[@NevsFishing]

Thanks mate!

[@johnjacobs8568]

Super epic job Nev. Great to watch and much appreciated! You never disappoint my man!

[@NevsFishing]

Much appreciated!

[@braydenmockett521]

awesome footage man really enjoying seeing how they take a bait from the drone! great stuff keep it up!

[@NevsFishing]

Thanks 👍

[@adrianline6877]

Absolutely sensational viewing.. so many times I’ve had encounters with big flathead and seen them slowly follow the lure.. And had nothing to record.. Best video I’ve seen 😜🎣🎣🎣

[@humanedane]

Dude, thats beautiful filmmaking, storytelling, and adventuring. Good for you to keep them in the water in the net. The drone footage was professionally done. Bravo!

[@paultennant2593]

Well done Nev ..You have raised the bar when it comes to filming ,fishing and commentary (and remaining calm ha ha )

[@NevsFishing]

Haha cheers mate!

[@Timbear45]

10:56 Fantastic show Nev. Superb quality. Well done mate 👍

[@NevsFishing]

Glad you enjoyed mate :)

[@FishandHunt]

Unreal footage mate. One of my new favourite fishing channels. 👍🏻

[@NevsFishing]

Thanks 👍

[@chrisneill123]

Oh man that was so epic to watch, no problem at all with people using drones especially when we get to see those awesome lure takes from a birds eye view. Great work Nev 👍

[@michaelwebster8389]

Great stuff. And really interesting to see the flathead, and how visible they are in the clear water.

[@JamesStaaks8182]

That sandflat looks like heaven to me. Great vid mate.

[@sashahess3141]

Great video, seeing drone fishing for flathead with a drone really makes me want to get a drone my self lol. You should try a quick release mount they're like 50 dollars but that way you'll be able to drop your lure from your drone.

[@justinellis2411]

Best drone flattie take I've seen in the era of drone flattie takes🤙couldn't of been any better..

[@rfriday2651]

Nearly 40 years ago I was a young bloke that pretty much killed everything he caught. Then one day I caught my first flathead on an original Mr Twister double tail. Soft tailed jigs were a bit new back then. I recall it vividly. It was where Loder's Ck empties into the Broadwater on the Gold Coast. It was my first lure caught salt water fish and I worked hard for it. I didn't let it go, but while I was cleaning it something clicked. Suddenly I understood my dad's fly fishing mate from my childhood who would hike through blackeberries and bracken to catch a brown trout so he could let it go. No photos back then because the image is stored in your head and only seen by the person it is most important to. Rex Hunt was busy kissing fish on TV and letting them go and I understood. Long before the size slot for flatties was introduced I caught my PB's (yes both) on the same day. An 87 followed by a 92 in the mouth of Tingalpa Ck trolled on a hard body Yo Zuri minnow. I was well chuffed. The bloke baitfishing on the bank shook his head as I lowered the first one gently back into the water. 20 mins later I did it again. Love your work Nev. You restore my faith in our youth. Richard Friday

[@leesawillmott1522]

What a fantastic bit of footage Nev. Well done

[@pjmack75]

[@jamesk5323]

[@kinimatographos]

Surface Droning Monster Flathead...you're a pioneer my friend and you're awesome at it! From henceforth, I shall call you...Mr. President!

[@murraybrown2746]

Sensational mate - love your channel, keep up the awesome work. Fantastic catch

[@martinhoffmann1063]

Easily the best flathead footage I've ever seen!

[@phillipdiversi6800]

Awesome video and drone shots of the fish lies and hook up .well done . You did well to land fish and the drone. A lot going on! I think I’ll have to add a drone to the tackle box

[@mattyranger5565]

Absolutely epic footage bro. Been chasing and catching flatties for decades but seeing how they feed and chase down your offerings is awesome. Keep the vids coming mate and so glad I came across your channel 💯🤙

[@Mouldyturnip75]

That is EPIC!! What amazing footage.... that's Nev Attenborough territory!

[@ThePerpetualStudent]

Dude, this is awesome. I have not seen this on the Tubers yet. Angle is perfection.

[@moz7738]

THE BEST FISHING DRONE FOOTAGE EVER!! Fantastic work Nev!! Great edits as well!!

[@SHANEMOST]

That was epic mate kudos to you. Look forward to seeing more of that. Thanks for sharing mate

[@Danmcg73]

How cool was that, so epic, well done mate, beautiful big croc 👌👍

[@PeterHavord]

Another nice one Nev ! I'd love to see more videos of you using drone recon to find other fish such as - Bonefish in the shallows near Exmouth; Permit in the shallows near Settlers Beach, Cossack WA; and golden trevally and small black marlin in the shallows on the western side of Fraser Island.

[@NevsFishing]

Good ideas man, thanks!

[@PeterHavord]

Nev - I've caught big Permit in the clear, calm shallows at Settlers Beach near Cossack in WA and I know a lot of other anglers have too. I've also caught big Golden Trevally in the clear calm shallows on the western side of Fraser Island. They're both big, powerful fish that will tow your kayak a long way. You make great kayak fishing videos so why not reach out to the TV stations proposing a TV series along the lines 'Kayak Fishing Australia' or 'Nev's Kayak Fishing Adventures' ?

[@PeterHavord]

Nev - here's a link to some great drone footage of big GT's smashing poppers near a coral reef - kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqqYlGiBbL-lkKs

[@tonydalmasetto7848]

This is next level, Nev. Awesome work!

[@NevsFishing]

Cheers heaps Tony

[@lmp8932]

What a morning indeed! You did it again and that was one hell of a fish😁

[@adamwickii5184]

I purchased a kayak yesterday, went out for first time today. Bloody love it

[@_Sarraart]

Epic video. Drone footage is unreal.

[@HuyHuy4]

Just incredible footage. Thanks for your efforts!🤙

[@gungahlin10]

Wow that is the most epic thing I have seen. Well done Nev :)

[@chambro75]

Awesome footage mate. Really enjoyed this one 👍🏼

[@thetravellingtriker2410]

Never seen anything like that.......just WOW!!!!!!..................Congratulations..................

[@bryanbadger6841]

Hey mate, that was brilliant. Those flatties look like a cousin of monkfish/stargazer we have over the ditch here. If I'm spearing flounders at night, I pick up the odd one. Usually chuck the fillets in a pan of garlic butter, and bingo job done. Anyway thanks again for sharing mate. Quality episode. Take care.

[@hardstylefan5117]

Lol told you a lot of fishos would say it’s cheating , but I reckon it more like filming a documentary on how they hunt & what’s going on when your fishing , always wonder if the fish are just watching the lure go by & saying hey Fred see this pelican trying to trick us into eating the plastic hook thingy ….. Fred ? Awe Fred why did you eat it …. . It’s great content Nev it’s a first & you have nailed it. Set the bar high now mate ! Can’t wait to see what’s next in your bag of tricks. Be proud mate your an inspiration to many.

[@blackdogRexy]

OMG I stopped breathing while watching that Flattie going after the line. Im a long time watcher of the channel but these drone vids are next level.

[@Truebluehendo]

First time I've seen your stuff mate and it was awesome to watch well done!!!

[@endlessseasfishing399]

[@UnforgivenFishing]

Well done Nev, good use of the drone the footage looks awesome hope you continue to have this great success with these big frogs

[@Bidboyslim]

[@willandmaryoutdoors8645]

Very VERY nicely done mate 👌🏽 the kick we get out of drone fishing

[@olavcoron2430]

The first one you hooked had another fish looking at it. He was like: Told you so.. Very cool footage!🎣
