Never had it, I've only gotten back into fish recently after being traumatized by some not very fresh fish as a kid and being turned off it completely. Then I discovered snorkeling a few years ago, followed by spearfishing. Mate blew my mind the difference fresh fish makes. But I'm down in Melb so as yet I've only had flathead, leather jacket, snapper, whiting. The things you're pulling are making me wanna move up north big time.
@@abidhajher7076 funny how the mind works i got sick after eating pizza as a kid wouldnt touch it again untill one night after the pub and me mates got one i was quickly converted again
Had it before mate but didn't really rate it. I was kind of disappointed as I thought it was a bit 'rubbery'. I did wash the fillets in fresh water which I don't usually do. I wanna catch some more to give it another try.
I was out on Saturday fishing across the ditch in 480m of water and only caught big Ling no Bluenose or Blue eye as you call them. Did 6 drops and hooked up every time. Keep up the good videos👍
Great video. Love your channel. I live in the Azores. I catch alfonsino (Beryx splendens) at a depth around 500 meters (1600 feet) and imperador (Beryx decadactylus) at more than 600 (2000 feet) meters. These fish are all most identical, the imperador has a more rounded head and is the best tasting fish in the sea, it costs the double the price of the other. To catch these fish I use a homemade electric fishing reel witch was made using a motor from a car steering, the line I use is 0.8mm stainless steel wire. I use wire because even at that depth I can feel fish biting as if I used braided line there is no feeling.
I think you need to do a challenge episode with Julian where he needs to catch the fish for the dish he cooks. Maybe two courses and has to be two different fish.
Our version of that red fish is the toro snapper. Better than queen probably, and that’s a statement. Very few couple little super red very deep types of fish that outdo queen.
I've never tried them before but I reckon They'd taste amazing. Hard work pays off once again. Love your show mate keep up the great work you do. Mick.
Great video Sammy! The Blue Trevally look like what are called Barrelfish off of Florida, the other species I never seen. I’d love to fish your waters someday, so many different species! Congrats and good luck!
Great fishing! Wish I was there! I hate it when I lose a fish high up when you fish that deep. Working that hard and have the easiest part left and then it is gone....
Great vid mate, i certainly agree with the chefs call on toothfish, hands down top fish in my books too. Spice things up on the jig. Throw hooks at both ends of the jig. Makes life interesting if ya get the doublè haha
epic catch there Sammy, shame about missing out on the opportunity to roll around in a cabin with shauno... hope you remembered the fish cheeks this time cheers👌👌
I am a shit fisherman so I'm living vicariously through you. I love your content and theres just something about you fileting the fish that's satisfying to me haha love the content 👌
Hi! Im from Madeira Island in Portugal. Last week I went jigging at a depth of 750 meters, I caught 2 alfonsino, one was attacked by a 10kg squid and came with it. Congrats
That's unreal. I often catch flathead in waters 40-70 metres in Bass Strait which, at certain times of the year get attacked by squid but, the biggest squid are not quite 1kg. I love it when it happens, two for the price of one. However, sometimes the squid will chew a whole in the flathead fillet - small price to pay. It hasn't happened for a while but with summer fast approaching it wont be long before it does.
What was the gear used in this video? Line, leader/tippet/trace, jig, and rod & reel combo. I looked for over an hour and couldn't be sure I was looking at the actual equipment. Thanks for the help, in advance!
amazing fish congrats how did it taste i wanna be like you when im older but i dont have alot of money because im 13 but i really enjoy this content so keep it up, but to let you know one of my favorite vedios is when you caught 2 massive tunas or when you caught a thrasher that got sharked so thank you for the amazing content
Even if I love to fish, There are not that many fish I enjoy to eat. I usually live by the expression "Fish is fish and meat is food" But there are a few fish I do like to eat even if they are very few and I would love to taste those fish you caught here to see what I think about them. When I fish, I eat the ones I like eating, but by far most of the time I either give away what I catch or just release them.
Awesome video Sammy, quick question. Why don't you use hooks on the bottom. That decrease the chances of hooks pulling since the jig doesn't swing around if the bottom hooks catch the side of the fish? It also increases your hook up ratio.
Hey mate, the bottom hook dramatically increases your chances of getting snagged. Which is really bad news in 450m! Just have to take your chances with the top Assists 👍
You’re probably the most entertaining fisherman on CZcams right now, I just can’t do the 40 minute vids. I think you’d get way more fans if you cut the length down
Another cracking episode Sammy 👏 I am going to have to buy some shirts from your website I'm feeling abit guilty. Is a XL the same size as a Snatch XL shirt?
Sammy or anyone, what is that device you both keep adjusting behind you when you are fishing? I have seen you guys use it on a couple of trips now. Is it something to do with the props?
probably wrong but im pretty sure your close, i think its forward and reverse for the props. matt watson has one on his stabicraft and it means you don't have to keep going into the cabin to manoeuvre the boat
Most of the time I prefer to fish with baits on circle hooks when fishing deep. The chances for losing the fish are so much less than when jigging. I am also getting to old to fish with heavy jigs for many hours. It is hard enough work to bring the fish up.
Great vid Sammy !!! As a side note: toothfish will likely go extinct in our lifetime due to zero regulation and overfishing ….if we stop eating them they will stop fishing for them! Cheers !
Deep jigging like that without an electric real is a whole lot like work to me! No thanks I will be just fine trolling a big bait kicking back with a cocktail and chilling until the drag starts reeling!😎. Just saying I’ve already put in my time with the heavy lifting…..now its time to kick back and relaaaaxxxx🤫
Happy Sunday legends!! Hope you enjoy the video! Has anyone eaten one of those fish before?!? What did you think? 🍻🍻🍻
Never had it, I've only gotten back into fish recently after being traumatized by some not very fresh fish as a kid and being turned off it completely.

Never had either. I love fish but being from Maine in the US we focus more on the haddock and lobster. Would love to try these fish some day!
One of the best eating and most versatile fish to cook. We catch heaps of them here in NZ but we call them Bluenose.
@@abidhajher7076 funny how the mind works i got sick after eating pizza as a kid wouldnt touch it again untill one night after the pub and me mates got one i was quickly converted again

Sammy + Shauno + Mojo = the best fun you can have with your pants on!
Hahah feel free to take your pants off if you’d like mate 😉💪💪💪
Any time you and Shauno are on the boat i click. Best fishing videos are the ones with a good fishing buddy!
Appreciate it mate! Glad you like them 🍻🍻
Looks like you guys had fun!! I always like watching you and Shauno go out fishing. Can't wait for the next video 👍👍
Love your jigging vids sammy, keep up the great work inspiring those who arent able to get out very often
Thanks very much mark! Appreciate it mate 🍻🍻

Nice one mate! 🍻🍻
What a great result!!! Awesome...
Thanks mate! 🍻🍻

Wow what a day of catching🤙
Thanks mate!! 🍻🍻
Deep drops with Shauno are always a good time
Love watching your shows!!! Hopefully one day I'll get to fish in your Waters! Watching you from Orlando Florida
Great vid Sammy
I think you need to do a challenge episode with Julian where he needs to catch the fish for the dish he cooks. Maybe two courses and has to be two different fish.
Hahah that would be cool! Might be a video for summertime!
Yewww! Nice one brother. Was awesome seeing ya out at the pin yesterday bro! Myself and the boys were stoked to have seen ya hahaha. Keep it up bro
Hahah likewise mate! Hope you guys got a few 👌
@@SammyHitzkeFishing Few young threadies and a shovelnose over the last weekend, tailor and whiting on too 👍
Enjoyed todays fishing guys.. Keep at it. Hopefully one day I may visit.
Thanks for watching 🙌🙌🙌
Good to see Shauno again with bigger fish this time.
Hahah it doesn’t happen often 😉🤣
love the deep dropping stuff keep it up
Appreciate it mate! Enjoy 🍻🍻

So epic! I fished for these on Sunday but missed them better luck next time
Next time mate 🍻🍻
Great stuff cracking feed there
Always love when you and Sharon get together need to see you on another trip with 4wd 247
🤣🤣 thanks mate! Yeah will have to tag along on another one soon 👌👌
Great video Sammy! The Blue Trevally look like what are called Barrelfish off of Florida, the other species I never seen. I’d love to fish your waters someday, so many different species! Congrats and good luck!
Yeah they are a very similar species! We are very lucky over here, thanks for watching 🍻🍻
Go Shawno master class on Sammy again!!!
Hahah he gets lucky from time to time!
Wow, a great video.
Great work mate 👍
Thanks mate!
Missed last week mate sorry. I’m up for it today. 💪💪🍺🍻
gotta give that a go one day!!
great fishing video.. and amazing sentation strike.. good job friend..
Appreciate the support, thanks for watching 💪💪💪
Great fishing!
Wish I was there!
I hate it when I lose a fish high up when you fish that deep.

Power!!!
And big swells!
Great vid mate, i certainly agree with the chefs call on toothfish, hands down top fish in my books too. Spice things up on the jig. Throw hooks at both ends of the jig. Makes life interesting if ya get the doublè haha
Thanks mate! We don’t tend to use the double hooks too much as it snags up a lot more which is bad news in 450m!
I have missed sooo many Sammy Hitzke vishing adventures!!! Sorry Sammo.
P.s. absolutely love when shauno comes with you. what a ripper
Hahah better get back involved mate!
epic catch there Sammy, shame about missing out on the opportunity to roll around in a cabin with shauno... hope you remembered the fish cheeks this time cheers👌👌
🤣🤣🤣 skipper gets the cabin I get the couch on the deck. Got the cheeks 👌
Yeah Boys! A few marlin out that far too off Tweed. Hope the baby blacks start hitting soon. Mad videos
Fingers crossed it’s going to be an awesome pelagic season this year 🤞🤞🤞
Nek time bro
Looks like a barrel fish . One of the Best eating fish.
I am a shit fisherman so I'm living vicariously through you. I love your content and theres just something about you fileting the fish that's satisfying to me haha love the content 👌

I would say that red fish looked like a giant red saltwater crappie. I bet it very tasty
It was delicious!!
Well cheers to me

Lots of fun

Only way to do it! 🍻🍻🍻

Cheers 🍻
Try just cranking when you hook up. Pumping tend to open up the hook holes (especially when using such heavy jigs) resulting in more lost fish.
I’ll give it a try! 🍻🍻

Sammy great videos mate , what do you look for in depths 240m plus? bait balls ; rises ; drop off or flat grounds? cheers dave
Great video boys love the deep jigging stuff I would do it but with an electric ha ha 👍🍺😃
Hahah yeah electric is definitely the easier option! 👌👌

I guess uploads are only 1080p or 360p now? Great fishing guys!
Sic big gobble guts fish 🎣
WOW the side to side rocking on that boat is insane its either a super deep v hull or poorly designed with too heavy of a tower making it top heavy.
Deep V mate. Its got a giro in it now, made a huge difference 👌👌

I prefer the longer vids!!
Seru main jigingnya om👍
Have you tried Striped Trumpeter Sammy? Nothing beats it!!!
I haven’t mate! We are a bit far north for them up here. I’ll have to get down to Tassie and chase them sometime!
@@SammyHitzkeFishing definitely! once i have my boat wrapped you have inspired me to do some filming down this way! Would love a solo sword!
BIG FISH
Mantap.. 👍🏻🇲🇨
Great vid Sam n Shaun.
Nothing like a bit of jigging in a jiggle.
I can't wait to try some Alphonsino...... you've got my address😉
🙏
Hi Sammy what brand of braid do you use for deep jigging, (Siglon? What weight leader, mono or flouro) cheers Paul
We use Sunline mate, and 50lb FC leader 👌
Another cracking episode Sammy 👏 I am going to have to buy some shirts from your website I'm feeling abit guilty. Is a XL the same size as a Snatch XL shirt?
Haha yeah mate same size! No need to feel guilty, just enjoy the content 🍻🍻

Jim Jim nailed it! It’s a set of mobile controls 👌
You caught twins!
Hahah pigeon pair!
Most of the time I prefer to fish with baits on circle hooks when fishing deep.
The chances for losing the fish are so much less than when jigging.
I am also getting to old to fish with heavy jigs for many hours.
It is hard enough work to bring the fish up.
It's still debatable ... fishing V's 4wd..
Which is shawn better at... awesome fishing
If anyone from seakeeper is watching, please give shaun a call. Mojo could definitely use a gyro stabiliser.
Hahah That would be epic! Not the cheapest things the old sea keepers!
I believe they call those barrelfish in the Florida Keys.
These ones are a slightly different species to the barrel fish. Closely related though 👌👌
Looks a lot like a Barrelfish that we catch in Florida.
Similar species mate 👌👌
was that filmed on a go pro at the start the stabalisation is pretty good
The whole thing was on a gopro mate 👌👌
Hey Sammy where did you get your filleting table from.
It’s an old science bench from a school 👌👌
Has the sooty rebuild made you just go fishing..???? Going that well hmm 🤔
Hey mate what's the black switch thing on the table that Shauno keeps playing with?
Mobile controls mate 👌
Hey, what brand /type of gimbal belt do you prefer to use?
Hey mate, it’s a jigging master belt 👌👌
Blue dogs have the best skin going, soooo much fat. Best to scale them on the water or otherwise hit them with a water blaster when you get home 😉 👌
Hungryyyy
🤤🤤🤤🤤
Is that a wireless engine controller in the rod holder that Shauno's using?
It’s not wireless, but it yes it’s a portable controller 👌👌
Fishi.man solo..hj. 2..barco tbm eh outro..mas. ta bom tbm camera..👍..sashimi file..👍..👏👏
Hey Sammy, how heavy of line do you use for extreme deep jigging or recommendations?
I use PE 2 - PE 3. Still plenty of pulling power and nice and thin 👌👌
@@SammyHitzkeFishing thanks mate 😊
Never seen this fish before
Thai Green Curry Alfonsino - thank me later
What boat has Shaun got great fish Sammy hope you don’t get seasick
It’s a 28ft Carolina classic mate 👍
That looked very rough, hard work just standing up.
Yeah it was shocking!!
Great vid Sammy !!! As a side note: toothfish will likely go extinct in our lifetime due to zero regulation and overfishing ….if we stop eating them they will stop fishing for them! Cheers !
Oh really?!! I didn’t know that! I hope it doesn’t!
That's some GREAT fishing, but my gut would have to be on it's VERY best behavior in those seas 🤢😀
Yeah it was pretty rough out there!!
What size boat do you need out at 400m?
Depends on location but 6m is enough when the weather is good
@@jamesleadbeatter3632 I've only got a 5.5 cuddy cab but it has 750mm sides
