  • Gday everyone.
    I haven’t been out as often because my old GoPro broke so I had to get a new one. I went with the GoPro hero 9. And I’m absolutely loving it. The picture and sound quality is excellent. I’m super happy to be able to film again. Expect new videos often😁

    Wow, what a catch! And on a lure, so many can only catch the big ones on live baits. So glad you got it on video as it truly shows how impressive these big fish are. Pictures just don't do them justice. Awesome to see you support the slot limit NSW.

      Always Paul. I started chasing the big fish just shy over a year ago. And it took me 5 months of hard targeting to get my first big girl. 81cm then a 71cm now a 94. Catch and release is super important on the big girls and I’ll always support it. #slotlimitnsw

    Well Done JD, only found your channel recently, and loving your content, honest, down to earth and considerate to the actors (releasing the big girls). I'm getting ready for my summer of fishing and chasing the duskies - cant wait, whilst your vids aren't good for my work output at the moment, they have got me as keen as. Have a great end to the year and all the best, keep up the good work!

  • @jimjim773
    @jimjim773 Před rokem +1

    Thats an insane catch bro, awesome to see you get it in. Big females are pretty rare up here and I dropped one around 80cm in the surf a few weeks ago, actually lifted it up onto the rock but the hook pulled as I was looking for a rag and it flipped into the water, never been more devastated haha. Ive been watching your vids since you were at 100 subs, love to see the content getting better and better cheers👌👌

      if you havent already try going for a wander away from the easy to get to spots mate. Pine is fished incredibly hard and some areas are absolutely cleared out whereas others are stacked, good luck whatever you try though👍

    "She's just getting her breath back"... not so. She is injured and barely conscious after a massively exhausting fight for her life then a near drowning to satisfy your catch "diary" and "likes". She didn't swim away full of vigor she could barely move, she's an old girl. In fish age she's in her 90's M8. Josh you don't have to prove your a good fisherman, you have the video so unpin her in the water, that is if you truly love her. Fix this one thing and you'll be a standout in the saturated market of fishing vids.
