Thank you for visiting our homeland of Samoa 🇼🇸. It was so beautiful to see you with the locals. Malo uso

[@OutdoorChefLife]

We had a great time! Hope we can visit again soon!

[@Rob-ze1wi]

That one brah that caught the GT was all about the help and smiles. Nice!

[@OutdoorChefLife]

Villi is the best!

[@lpg3va]

I just wanna say that hours of watching these videos subconsciously taught me how to break a fish down and ended up being very helpful when I went to Pohnpei in the Pacific for research. We went out with our friend on our day off and caught a bunch of yellowfin and mahi mahi (I have never fished out in the ocean on a boat before), and he let us keep 2. My years of watching this channel out of pure entertainment and I was able to cut it up (very roughly for a first time) back at the house! So thanks for that lol

[@MegaTagger1]

Thumbs this up if Taku should get “It’s a good one” tattooed on his reel hand 😂

[@OutdoorChefLife]

Malo, Taku. So glad to see you and Jocelyn visit my Dad’s homeland. Manuia fa’afetai.

[@OutdoorChefLife]

Beautiful land!

[@Smokyjohnson]

Man you can just tell Villi is such a good dude, awesome episode!

[@sea-ferring]

It's so great that whether you're Japanese, Indonesian, Polynesian, or Micronesian, there is a culture of using every part of the fish. I get so sick of fishing channels where the heads and collars are tossed away like garbage - such disrespect for the ocean.

[@harrymiram6621]

AGREED! Fish head/collar +carcass make for A-1+ soup stock

[@carlcalvin1479]

​@@harrymiram6621I put all of this in my instapot 1/4 c vinegar 2T fish sauce mushrooms of choice 2 C of chicken stock or water handful of Thai chili Hot and sour soup so good. Had firm tofu at the end. And noodles too. Yummm

[@geri9839]

​@@harrymiram6621Yes add mustard greens, tomatoes,and onions and " Watch out" 😋

[@Kumukarl]

10:58, nice Kagami! I think they call them African pampano and diamond travelly in other parts of the world. You could actually see them next to the shore when you thought they were omilus. Awesome strike and way to land it from shore! Such a beautiful fish!

[@airick4038]

African Pompano in the Caribbean for sure.

[@jeremysweat8957]

It is amazing how you can meet so many wonderful people all over the world. Thanks for sharing this!

[@anotteroutdoors]

Never stop making videos my friend. I always look forward to watching on my lunch breaks! Come back to NZ soon :)

[@kamaikiolemoku8990]

Been a subscriber and a fan of your content for so long and seeing you visit my homeland of Samoa is such an honor. Awesome bro!! Malō!!

[@OutdoorChefLife]

Malo!

[@Zachary9x_]

Your channel will surly be #1 in the future.. it’s already there for me

[@OutdoorChefLife]

thank you!

[@FrankieVega-v9p]

Your content never disappoints! You the man Taku!!

[@sir_fatal]

Malo Taku. It’s called Ulua in Hawaii and Malauli in Samoa. Manuia!

[@alexolomua6107]

Can’t wait to go back home in Faleaseela. Been away for 14 years now.. out here slaying Uluas in Hawaii now😊. Definitely going to try out those spots when I go back Samoa lol. Taking VILI with me.

[@BPakesi]

Awesome Job Taku!! The Shiney one is called a Kagami in Hawaii. They usually travel in pairs. If you catch or shoot one, the other will be close by. Nice job!

[@bryanquichocho1280]

Another way to prep and eat breadfruit. Throw them on the fire skin on and get them charred then get some butter and eat them together🤙🏾.

[@outdoorsfishingdream]

The overheat is so relatable, thats why I have a mini umbrella for my phone while filming 😂🤣☂️

[@OutdoorChefLife]

hahahaha mini umbrella for the gopro would be hilarious

[@tommymai3062]

This cold dish looks so refreshing! Amazing catch and cook

[@DamienRynja]

Also I visited Samoa en route to Kanton Atoll in 2015. Beautiful spot. Didn't mind the Vailima! Wonder what happened to our deckhand, Taula. He'd get all excited and call bluefin trevally Bluvalley!

[@alanota4751]

It’s kind of rare to catch the “Kagami” especially with the long trailing fragile fins. Would be awesome to gyotaku it. Congrats

[@jayvto5992]

Never knew you could fry them breadfruit, learned something today 🤔. I miss them breadfruit cooked with coconut milk and onions.

[@markgunnerson875]

We called the. African Pompano. Great catch.

[@nVuFilms]

Taku,... afrom filmmaker and fisherman who films himself fishing also... Get the DJI Action 4. . . No overheating. You're welcome.

[@ondaspot]

Taku look up Joe Olivas wwj whipping with Joe. Mean GT action and all kine on Kauai

[@vanidar21]

I just always get the good vibes when I watch your videos, brother.

[@davescheer5038]

🌴Yes a fishing vid , Taku filleting and one of the boys chasing fly’s it’s a sushi masters dream , it’s a tuff job but somebody’s gotta do it! 😂

[@kern5377]

I rate how you show the whole filleting of the fish its satisfying as to watch

[@AntoineTroupe]

Itd be dope if you hosted Catch and Cook expeditions/camps. I’d sign up.

[@Bugsbonsai]

Dude thank you for the set up info! Salt water sounds crazy 200lbs 10’ leader what the heck. Trout got nothin on these guys.

[@NZOzzyMissions]

Malo le onasa'i Taku 🤙 alofa atu from New Zealand

[@folomalofata-meafou8379]

Beautiful village Falease'ela, my great-great grandfather is from there. Love watching your videos Taku, keep'em coming!

[@MonalisaGale-y3y]

Good to see you ur my idol I been watching ur you tube all the time,welcome to our beautiful island of Samoa 🇼🇸

[@yungjeezy427]

They call these Kagami in Hawaii, but formally known as an African Pompano. Crazy catch 🤙🤙

[@brianshay6836]

Came here to say the same thing! Good call!

[@MrDwightsimon]

In the Philippines, we call them mumsa

[@brianshay6836]

I love how fish have different names in different parts of the world. Super interesting

[@JokingIllusions]

It is also known as a Threadfin trevally. It’s a member of the Jack family.

[@MrDwightsimon]

@@JokingIllusions They also make amazing poke

[@garlar116]

I’d love to see you fish for GTs with cavy fishing

[@falanikoahfoon820]

Malo Taku. Cheering for you when that fish was on.

[@anaray1634]

I remember I watched your vids few years ago, and I totally forgot about you unfortunately. But gladly youtube algorythm made your vid pop up in my feeds. This is what I love about you and your channel- the real people, cozy atmosphere, some genuine folks and culture . Honestly makes me feel like home and gets me feeling that Im travelling as well. Thank you!

[@daleshepard]

Love what Jonny and his brother do at Malosi Studio! Love their plugs and their art. Awesome video Taku, amazing catch from the ledge!!!

[@eseiialosef6021]

You're an awesome ambassador for humankind. Thanks for visiting my homeland and sharing in its beauty 💗

[@logantic]

Malo uso Taku fa'afetai for bringing our culture to light. Loving this series uso 🤙🏽

[@Howwerelivingfishing]

I find processing my own meat from my harvest so satisfying, especially with the big fish. It’s very satisfying to watch too.

[@shanesanmanboi]

The spotted blues are called Omilu out here in Hawaii also!

[@ricanoutdoors2765]

I believe that is called an African Pompano, I could be wrong but here in Florida we catch them on the wrecks and it look exactly the same. nice fish for sure. nice job Chef.

[@cerescop]

Yeah African Pompano. Good catch. They are reportedly excellent eating.

[@davidchu5102]

That noodle drop 🔥

[@rml3wood]

Caudal scutes. Another GREAT episode! You should be an ambassador.

[@cryo6762]

Respect the good vibes in your content. Keep it up bro!

[@sistah3564]

I love how uncle said there’s 3 things he loves about samoa but name many more 😭 I agree more than many ❤

[@NguyenNam-sf5bp]

Hand down to our man, Taku. Great to hang out with a group of lovely friends

[@WillClancy-d3r]

the "diamond trav" is called an African pompano in the us. Super cool catch from the rocks!!!

[@faithandfishinghawaii]

So glad you got to visit with my people. Thanks for this episode. Makes me miss home. Aloha!

[@mattysavelio63]

Live in nz but hearts in Samoa. Love seeing you enjoying my motherland, alofa aku uso

[@Lamzilla24]

That Kagami fish is a beauty

[@rickibelden986]

Samoa looks like a great place to visit for people like me who like to camping simply. Also a great place of our group of friends who like the simple life too❤. The fishing looks great and the relaxation is good if you want it. 🎉

[@blaze2407]

What a full circle, they are like family now. That meal looks great❤

[@addicted2fishing119]

Coconut water is the best natural electrolytes and they’re everywhere…stay hydrated 🍻 Looks like an African Pompano or Threadfin Trevally

[@fakawat7220]

great video and great lovely family. thanks to all

[@DaddySenpai35]

Just gotta love the cultural aspect of these vids great job taku I really look forward to Tuesdays now seeing the different countries and cultures it's amazing.

[@skelley6136]

Those bluefin fillets are slabs!! That meal looks amazing!!

[@cadeechevary8738]

The best sashimi Trevally hands down!

[@philiptauti5108]

This is your best video yet. 😂😂Thanks for visiting our homeland.

[@nishali3343]

you can steam bread fruit before making the tempura, use like smash potatoes.

[@jamimangham8529]

Great skills processing the fish 😊

[@utahjag]

When you know you are going to somewhere so hot, think about calling Torras for one of their neck air conditioners. Not just a neck fan, but actual a/c that cools your blood and thus your body, works better than you could imagine :)

[@dillonkane2744]

Kagami is hands down the best eating! Nice work taku!

[@OutdoorChefLife]

So good!!

[@alniques]

Sash all day with kagami! lol

[@Sequel7]

Finally slows his retrieve down because he got tired lol and catches a fish 🎣

[@sR-rc8ph]

Wow water so blue there

[@AlwaysOutdoorsy]

That was an epic day!

[@brandonyee4119]

Good lord this one of the most delicious hiyashi chuka I've seen!!!

[@HalcyonGuitars]

I love the way fishermen are incapable of not telling other fishermen what to do when they get a fish on, lol…

[@dlmsarge8329]

Hahaha!

[@joesiharath3149]

Been watching you from your foraging days and full time sushi chef. I would love to see you forage on a foreign land and use local ingredients whenever possible. Love the contents❤

[@agnesrambling]

I didn’t realise. The fruit that you called bread fruit, we call the sukun. Also eaten like tempura, usually at breakfast

[@AmbitiousAngler]

Nice job landing that fish in that heat Taku and of course, what an awesome meal prepared. I'm very hungry currently watching this!

[@rb5043]

Enjoyed your catch and cook. It’s nice to have friends and family to share it with. Food is the best way to incorporate in celebrations. Ty so much for sharing it with us. Cheers to more! God bless

[@rocksta69]

Awesome magi Taku. I'm a follower of Ollie's and I saw your shark encounter 😲. I thought you were brave to stay there amongst all of those brozies so I take my hat off to you.

[@Anastasia.W.R]

In Jamaica, they roast breadfruit over a fire, let it cool, peel it and then shallow fry it in oil and sprinkle with salt. It’s so good.

[@jaratt85]

HEY!!! You caught a giant Trevally. My dad caught one of those off the beach on Guam one night, over 3 feet long.. still have the picture.

[@shanesanmanboi]

Just for some information, Kagami is the species, the word Ulua refers to any of the trevally species that exceed 10lbs in weight. Smaller ones are called Papio. Nice fish!

[@MYeahman]

They are such cool fish, we call them pennant trevally in Aus. They are the best eating of the trevs imo, similar to permit

[@matthewkoziel3674]

Taku, you should consider renting some motorcycles, and then you and Jocelyn could pack some telescopic rods and do a catch & cook.

[@byl15]

Good times with good people! Love to see it!

[@TamaFit]

Malo Taku awesome videos my brother - im missing home watching your videos - Manuia

[@weedhopper]

Thank you taku that was an awesome video bro🤘love all the recipes that you come up with,and incorporating local fruits And vegetables into your dishes.so cool 👍

[@oftedahlh]

Taku n Jocelyn so loving its great

[@tagovailoajuniorandmichell9151]

Awesome food! That breadfruit tempura looks delicious, not to mention the sashimi man I wish I was sitting at the table and to wash everything down with that Taula beer my favorite whenever I visit the motherland…God is good ! Fa’afetai for another great vlog 🙏🏼🙏🏼🤙🤙

[@SAMOAN_JUICE685]

Much love from Sydney Australia brother 🙏😎

[@HennyVentures]

Taku! You should check out getting a Okuma Makaira for these adventures its is one of the toughest spinning reels on the market.

[@faauihunkin7168]

Yummiest eating fresh out of the island ❤❤❤one my favorite ulu breakfast healthy than potatoes 😊choohoo Grandma home Samoa ❤

[@GoldenGecko]

[@hans-uelijohner8943]

What you call a blood line is actually a muscle for slow movements, the white flesh are fast muscles for flight or chase!

[@kamakoa]

Nice fishing

[@josephaguon8497]

Great video! Great song selection used for filleting of fish. 👍

[@isilelituita9911]

You are the Man Taku 🙌 great fishing and cooking videos . Sensational ❤🙏

Tight Lines always ! cool places you travel too ! Love the catch and cooks !

Kagami Ulua! Or African Pampano, I got my first recently in Costa Rica. Absolutely amazing tasting fish

[@kennytumanuvao2042]

Bro you made me hungry 🤣🇼🇸❤️ Thanks for stopping by our beautiful country uso👏🙏❤️🇼🇸 Subscribed to your channel uso🙏

[@owenli7180]

That would be Alectis ciliaris (Pennantfish or African Pompano). Quite like a Diamond Trevally, but Diamonds have a much more extreme forehead.

[@stevec69]

OH SHAAAAT SIX DEGREES OF SEPARATI DEGREES OF SEPARATION.....Didnt know you knew Malosi!! AWESSOME and send Briggsy and Cavi our love! Malosi with epic lures and loves to fish in his crocs

[@gradybrowning3976]

That first fish you caught looks like what we call in Florida an African Pompano!

[@laskinov]

As a Polynesian living in Brizzy....wow! Poly Japanese fusion, love your style bro. ♥️
