The wahoo have turned up! (Catch and clean)

- čas přidán 8. 09. 2024
- Ahoy fisho's, This week I set off in search of summer pelagics, but quickly come to realize that I may have a wahoo curse! Using a mixture of different lures I trolled up a storm but seem to be losing fish after fish! Will I manage to shake the curse or will I have to head home with my tail between my legs?
I hope you enjoy the episode guys!

Merry Christmas everyone! Thanks so much for the support throughout 2021! Looking forward to bringing you on plenty more fishing adventures in 2022! 💪💪
Merry Christmas and happy new year to you the phantom and family my friend 🍻🤙👍👍
Thanks mate!! 🍻🍻
Your the best Sammy
Tough times on the wahoo Sam!
Hopefully the odds will swing back your way in 2022.
It makes that sashimi we had all the tastier knowing how much hard work you put into it.
Thanks for a great year of fishing adventure and entertainment.
Love the dad support! 🥰
That’s it, no fun if you don’t work for it 💪💪
At Christmas Island we use 2 metres of wire trace when we target Wahoo otherwise you get bitten off or their tail can whip around and break your line. Great fun having to skull drag them in before the sharks get em. Love the vid's mate keep them coming.
Yeah I reckon I’m going to have to start running wire on them now. Loosing way to many skirts recently!
Losing one fish solo sux, losing both is why we go back!!! Nice one Sammy.
Wahoo…my favorite fish in the ocean! Most fun to catch and by far the best eating fish there is! Do you know wahoo’s can catch up-to a bait trolled at damn near 30 mph! They are fast as lightening put up a helluva fight and also taste delicious! Love those guys😎👍👍🇺🇸
They are unreal aren’t they! Love chasing wahoo! 🙌🙌🍻🍻
@@SammyHitzkeFishing unreal is a good description! My favorite by far
Thank you for all 52 episodes for the year Sammy. Merry Christmas and have a great new year.
No dramas at all! Thanks very much for watching 🍻🍻
Thank you for posting Sammy! We in the northern hemisphere are having to live though you. We've got a foot of snow with another 6-8" tonight here in the PNW of the United States of America. Great to see guys fishing and be reminded better weather and screaming drags are on the way!
Strewth! Sounds cold mate! Hahah I’m happy to stick with the summer over here 🤣🤣 Merry Xmas! 🍻🍻
Absolutely insane!!! I threw my head bad in disappointment for you when the 2nd dropped off…. Brilliant footage
Can’t wait for your next vid!! All the best Sammy👍👍🍺
I fished the sunshine coast for many years out of small boats. I learned one thing after lots of lost fish , tangled lines and lines around the prop. When the fish are on I had to use some self control and only put one rod out. I would have a few outfits set up and they would be ready instantly in case of cut offs or bust us. I landed a lot of fish and my blood pressure was a lot lower. I would release as many fish where practical. Unfortunately on big fish with big teeth ,single handed you can finish up single handed if you make a mistake. I would basically stop when I had a couple of decent fish dead on board. Cheers Ron.
Yeah I might drop back to 2 rods I reckon, see how I go. I only take enough for a feed. I like to give some to family and friends as well 🍻🍻
Yeww man, glad ya got that hoo.
Thanks for the great vids.
Can't wait to see more in 2022
Thanks
Well done Sammy. A great year chalked up on the ocean.
As a side note, tried the kachi kachi lure the other day while whiting fishing. 40g head with size 2 assist hooks. Absolutely slayed the fish. Was pretty even with fresh bait for a while, but took over when they went off the chew. Still kept catching them. Reflex or aggressive strike maybe. Definitely worth the go though.
Chalk that up as another success to the kachi lures.
Keep on fishing mate
Thanks for keeping us Sane through a crazy year and for taking us fishing through Lockdown with you Sammy Hope you have a fantastic and safe New Year

Great video Sammy,
Thanks so much!!
Can you please tell me the approximate speed to troll at when using skirts or bibbed lures?
Regards,
Terry
Merry Christmas Sammy and a happy new year mate. Got to love the apprehension towards the old favourite lure selection when it comes time to toothy critters🤣🤣.
Hahah gotta protect the best performers! 🤣
Merry Xmas to you guys too mate 🍻🍻
Merry Christmas..fish on
Same to you mate 🍻🍻
I think I saw you out for this! Great work brother! They were definetly around.
More than likely mAte! I’m always floating around somewhere 🤣🍻🍻
We all learn the hard way that you never stop the boat when hooked up to a wahoo, and for me it was the hardest habit to break. When the big girls turn and run at the boat its all over, and letting them get ahead of the boat is always very dangerous. You can get away with it when they are under 20kg, but much less forgiving on the big girls. Hard to do solo though. GL down there in 2022 and catch'em up. edited for imperial to metric.
Thanks for the entertainment Sammy, you will get the wahoo's next year!
Haha cheers mate! ThAnks for watching 🍻🍻
You are like me,you don't want to use wire leader but sometimes you have to,especially on those big fish smoking line off.
Merry Christmas Sammy, we can't win em all every trip!
Look forward to tuning in next year.
Hope you and the family are safe n well. Peace ✌️
Cheers Chris, that’s it mate. You get that on the big jobs 💁♂️
Haha same to you mate 🍻🍻
Merry Christmas Sammy... And another cracking episode... Well done!!!

Another great vid mare hard yakka on your own
Yeah it is a bit, but also more fun!!
Sammy I know its very difficult- specially fishing solo, but dont let the throttle down so much on wahoo. More than half will get off!
👍
MERRY CHRISTMAS BRO...A BEST 2022 AHEAD..
Thanks mate! Same to you 🍻🍻
good vid. well done.
Thanks mate 🍻🍻
Merry Christmas mate! Looking fwd to more vids in the new year! 🍻
Cheers mate, thanks for watching 🍻
👍🎣🎣 merry Christmas, would have loved to have seen some of those bigger fish, better luck next time.
Haha you and me both! Always next time though 🍻🍻
Those ones hurt! Wake up in the middle of the night stuff.
Bit late to watch the vid but great day fishing and great vid
Merry Xmas Sammy. Gosh, you make me a bit anxious when you're on the boat solo, enjoyable to watch tho! This was a classic episode of man vs fish xx
Haha cheers! Yeah always a bit of drama when your doing it solo 🤣🤣 thanks for watching! 🍻
Happy new year mate
Mate at some stage, when you got back home I thought you would lose it even off the scale !
MERRY CHRISTMAS SAMMY BEEN WATCHING FOR YEARS commenting till sammy takes me fishing week/ep (7)
Haha hang in there mate 💪💪
@@SammyHitzkeFishing hahaa will do big dawg
Sammy try the x rap 40 8 knot in sardine color by Rapala has done wonder for me cheers mate !
Merry Christmas Sammy. You got one Wahoo, not bad. Too bad about the one the shark took. Sharks are like politicians-always trying to steal something from you.
Get back out there bro- tight lines.
Hahah yeah you get that on the big jobs don’t you. Next time 👍👌👌🍻🍻
Merry Christmas and happy new years sammy... this is by far your most painful video I've ever seen... 😁... I'd bet that first wahoo was like 80 plus pounds... glade you did get some fish in the boat... wahoo is top 3 favorite fish for me.... best of luck in 2022...
Hahaha yeah it does suck losing a good fish like that! All the more reason to get out there again soon though! 🍻🍻
Awesome fish, good persistence though!
Cheers mate! Some times you have to keep going back until you get the job done I guess 🤣
Merry Christmas Sammy :D
Same to you mate 🍻🍻
Hey Sammy love the content just wondering what’s the story with the big brown trout in the trophy room ! Cheers mate happy new year with plenty of good fishing
Sammy, one of the reasons you are loosing Wahoo (bite offs) is you dont have a stopper ( crimp) in front of your lure, the stopper stops the lure sliding up the leader when the Hoo goes for its first big run, some times a second Hoo will go for the lure being towed behind the first snipping you off.
Yeah that does happen from time to time up here, but these ones I was getting my leader back so it was the wahoo eating the head of the lure 👍👍🍻🍻
@@SammyHitzkeFishing I'm in Fiji. If you ever want to fish here let me know.
Merry Christmas Sammy and a happy new year.
I look forward to your fishing videos and I really enjoy it.
Isn't it better to use line wire leader? Here we use line wire for wahoo fish. please guide me . Thankful
G’day mate, yeah wire would be better, I think I will change a few over to wire now 👍👍
Out there trolling like that, do you wear any sort of radio or communication device or have any sort of way to stop your boat when not at the helm? One slip, fall, and splash and you're treading water watching your boat disappear over the horizon.
Hey mate, you might notice the black bag around my waist, that’s an inflatable PFD 100. The little yellow rectangle strapped to that Belt is a PLB. It won’t stop me falling overboard, but if I do go over I’ll float and they can find me 👍👍
@@SammyHitzkeFishing Excellent! Glad to hear you, and by extension, the future videos aren't in much danger. Love your channel. Keep it up and tight lines in '22, mate.
Merry Christmas!
Same to you mate!
Sammy it breaks my heart to see you lose fish for want of an extra set of hands on board. I'd be more than happy to come along with you and make sure all that effort you put into finding the fish doesn't go to waste. 😉
Line up behind me big fella 😉
Hahah yeah there might be a bit of a line for that job 🤣🤣🍻🍻
@@SammyHitzkeFishing I reckon mate! awesome shot of the wahoo buzzing the boat on this episode.
happy christmas celebrations Sam ..
Cheers mate, same to you mate 🍻
Hi Sammy, how many knots are you trolling at for the Wahoo? Thanks in advance.
Awesome Sammy...how fast are you trolling..? Cheers mate
Those ultra rare and endangered sharks sure do follow you around.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Sammy. Why did you not use wire as a leader?
Wire isn’t as good if you hook a marlin, but I think I might change for the wahoo sessions 👍
Hey sammy, just wondering but where did you get your Chopping Table from?
Sammy, you need more mates to go fishing with. You stress me out watching you fumble around the back of the boat with all those rods and multi lines out. Drop me a line. Happy to play deckie for the day. Respectfully, a hinge down Bimini with rocket launcher rod holders to get them out of the way wouldn’t go astray on your boat, as well. Keep posting. Love your videos. Learned heaps along with the entertainment.👍🏻
Nothing like a wahoo hookup. Specially on your kind of gear
How far back, and how fast were you going with those lipped lures? I'n my experience, the small lips don't swim well going that fast.
I usually troll between 12-15kph. And stagger the lures back from 20m - 50m 👍
Merry Christmas Sammy. Thanks for the year of awesome videos.
Just a quick question, what speed do you troll for Wahoo?
Cheers 👍🏼
Cheers mate! Appreciate the support. I usually troll from 15-20kms for them 👍
Hey mate just wondering why you don't gut the fish out there? I've always been told to do is ASAP to keep the meat from spoiling
I haven’t found leaving it in affects the flesh if they are kept nice and cold 👍
Legend thanks for the replay mate love your videos
Merry Christmas Sammy! 🍻🍻🍻
Same to you 🍻🍻
Great vid sammy, what gopro do you use and what setting? Merry Christmas, tight lines
Hey mate, I’m still using the Gopro 8’s and just shooting in 1080p 👌
Tackle note
What size braid n leader were you running.
Cheers for the vids, always enjoyable to watch.
Merry Xmas, n happy new yr
Hey mate, running 50lb braid and 120lb leader on the lures 👌👌
are they shimano tyrnos 16 you are using
Merry christmas sir
Happy new year Sammy 👍🇦🇺👍
Same to you mate 🍻🍻🍻
Awesome session mate what lb leader you running on these bad boys? cheers 👍🎣🎣
Usually 120lb mate 👌👌
Yewwww!!!
Merry Xmas Sammy. Thanks for your videos this year. What sort of speed do you run for wahoo?
Cheers,
Wags
Same to you mate! I run anywhere from 15-20km, depending on the conditions and lures im running 👌👍
Merry F’ing Xmas Sammy! Come see us over in in the States!😎
Hahah little hard getting there at the moment! Keen to have a go eventually though! 👌👌
