why the hell are u adding music while fishing my god!

I first fished Fast Castle about 15 years ago and it was almost my last trip. It is a super dangerous place to tackle unless you know exactly what you're doing, and know how to get yourself out of the trouble that you will almost definetly get in to. I only ever fish it from a kayak now, but only after spending quite a lot of time researching tides and swells. It's not a place you can just rock up to and cast a line.

superb young man lived every moment of your pb as if i caught it myself fabulous

Bravo bro, what an effort and such an epic payoff. Reminds me of the 60+ lb bat ray’s I used to catch in Mission Bay San Diego, but those aren’t rare or endangered. Massive respect for the care you showed her, and for finishing that incredible fight. Earned a sub for sure. 👍🏼 ❤

An amazing picture of the skate going back on the surface, well done

At first i thought it was click bait but no, hats off to you well done mate !

Now that’s a cod 💪👏

Well done 👏 fantastic video

Well done lovely fish whats the location

"Why would I show you" because you like views and attention more than fishing. Dont spoil shit like this.

Another great vid!!

Am buckled watching u pull that cod in the boat haha, brilliant video man

Ooo my cod where is the frying pan😢

Brilliant video..high energy...amazing fishing!!

Fish of a lifetime there well done. However, I fear for you at times. Paddling a kayak with no buoyancy aid and chest waders 🫣 . Big skate is on my radar soon too. All the best and keep safe🐟🎣

Watch out for that tail my guy 😅

Best video yet, I also.love your excitement, your just like me when catching bigger fish! Love it, watch yourself on them cliffs.

Fosh

Dam good vid

Well done!

Hysterical, wild, daring. Loved it , just look after yourself fishing alone!. Great Cod, your hard work payed of.

Cracking fish there, well done! Take care on that water fella.

Thanks for using barbless hooks - you are a true angler 😎.

You can’t be making up PB’s without at least weighing it and just making up weights 😂😂😂

Very wholesome! Congrats on the catch! Just a lad being passionate about his hobby, absolutely tremendous 👌

It looks like a stingray. Very exciting video.

Another great video mate, you really put the effort in and it was rewarded with some belters of fish 👏

New sub here , this is definitely on my bucket list and I don’t live far from Oban outstanding effort 😊

Good vid, spoilt by the awful music.

Your choice of venues and enthusiasm remind me of watching a young henry gilbey. I always enjoyed his "lust for life," and i see the same in you. I look forward to more videos and hope your channel keeps growing. 🎣 👌🏻

good vid spoilt by the music tracks

What an upload ..Nice to see loads of cracking cod ..Outstanding ✌🏼❤️

Two tips. When they suck onto the bottom like that, pull the line taut and then pluck it. (They have the line in their mouth, underneath the body, and it's going up to you. When you pluck that line, it flicks them around the face and upsets them, often making them move. Same trick works with rays.) The other tip is a something many fishermen are forgetting as reels get better. The name Angling comes from the angle between the water level and the line which you create using the rod. The rod is then a big, flexible shock absorber. The line is a relatively inflexible cord. The reel has a drag that lets the fish pull out more line rather than break it. The missing link is using the rod to make it harder for the fish to take line. When a big fish runs, you want to lean back and try to get the rod tip as high as you can. Then, to pull more line, the fish first has to bend the rod over so there's no more give, at which point then it can pull more line off the reel. The rod is meant to take a lot of the energy out of the run, making the fish work even harder for every inch of line, wearing it down faster until eventually you can land it. When the only drag a reel had was the fisherman's hand slowing it down, using the rod this way was a lot more important, but for big fish it's still an important principle of fishing to bring into play. What an amazing encounter with such a unique fish. Tight lines!

Great session mate - and I love your excitement ! Some nice fish there! Well done mate - thanks for sharing!

Another absolute banger!

As a shark fisherman I advise you not to kayak with waders on lol I’ve done this in winter while 600m off of the beach and I became a literal anchor, also I’d love to fish there with ya! Maybe one day I’ll come to the UK and do it

Always look forward to your videos, never disappointed, keep up the enthusiasm and quality content 👏👏🐟🎣😁

You nailed it you are the cod father lol , super enthusiasm there such a lot of work there from you with videoing climbing and kayaking ,much appreciated for taking us with you lol ive liked and subd you bring em on .greetings from Wales .

Mate great video but man don't wear waders on the kayak and head out. If you ended up falling those waders would fill up so fast and you'll be fighting for your life. not being a nag but just thinking of your safety and that of others watching. 👍

I have a question regarding sea fishing. In general, is it safe to use a motor powered belly boat for sea fishing? (If I’m fishing close to shore). Do I need to be wary of tide times etc? Any advice would be much appreciated.

Been waiting fir this video mate 👏 👏 easy 6-7lb get bk down on a calm day in the winter the cod will be even bigger down there for sure..... 👏 👏 👏 Remember hit me up in the winter al get you out breaking shore PBs mate

Do you ever take Cod for a feed?

no one will understand the pressure on them rods when they start taking line -- tight you think - then it rips it off even quicker and the rod starts bouncing :) good fight
