The skill on this guy and the devotion to protect the fish from the bully's is insane. You're a legend mate!

What a team! Luring the Marlin was top shelf skills Matty, everything came together for that one last fish, yewwww!

Matt, (1) those barra - incredible, (2) sight casting those GTs - incredible, (3) the drone footage that you've done- incredible, (4) educating us to the tactics on trout, (5) that marlin was a glorious example of angling excellence; and the respect shown to such a beautiful creature - well done! Wedding day too - congratulations. Thank you. Your channel is peerless.

"do you wanna have a beer?" " I reckon we better"..... awesome :) Protecting that fish from the sharks during AND after the fight- pure class man. Just epic.

Epic catch and excellent handling and release of that marlin you can always run the deck wash in them to keep them oxygenated if needed but all went well. Great job guys.

Nice work on the Black!

Great stuff Billy,s are fun😎

That was intense!! Epic fishing moment!!

Bloody epic, I am sad to say every time I take the boat out I always disappoint myself because I can only compare to this champion.

Thats insane Matt, what a catch, good to see he swam away.

Sick footage bro, marlin is a cool addition to the twitch it hit list!

Bloody epic bro chur churrrr from The Netherlands and Aotearoa

Damn mate, you are the Fish God. So sick 🔥🔥🔥

Well i gotta give it to you mate that was possibly the sickest thing I’ve seen

Ok ok ok. so 1/ you’ve got my eternal respect and 2/ you’re the best angler in the world

Legendary effort. Awesome on every level. 💪💪

Great vid Matt that was fantastic 🤟

That reel was making some strange noises!! 🤣💪

This reminded me SO much of sight-fishing for white marlin off the coast of New England here in the States back in the day. NOTHING was more exciting. Thank you. For me, this terrific experience begs a question, Matt: Why don't you fish for marlin more often? I've gone through all your videos and I'm fairly sure that this is the first time you actually target billfish offshore. Yet you obviously have HUGE respect for the power and endurance. of marlin I would add remarkable speed and heart-stopping acrobatics to their attributes. Could it be your distaste for trolling? I can relate, it puts me to sleep. If only your billfish would cruise on the surface more often . . . Best, Chris

Spectacular job guys cheers

well earned beer!

Imo sighting, casting hooking, great team was awesome but the care you both took to land it move it away to best chance to survive once release was epic. 🖐🏽

That reel might need looking at lol, sounds like a whipper snipper starting

Eppic eppic eppic great stuf!!

Yeah that was definitely worth its own video. Just got to get it in so that you can head off to get married, no big deal!!

Legendary conservationist ⚒️💪🤘🪓🪵🥋

That was Awesome! Yeww 🤙🏻

Get out of here! Great vid boys - jolly well done!!

You couldn’t teach that kind of technique 😭 what lb leader matty? And before the big moment too what a bloody day!

hey bro, may i ask what camera u are using? mind to share link of the full setup for it please? Great vid. thank you

LEGENDARY!!

Forgive my ignorance but can I ask why did they change locations once they had it in the boat ? Was it to get away from predators while it recovered ?

@12:13 let's all have a beer 🍺 cheers boys 🍻 👏 well done

This is unbelievable I'm speechless

So sick boys!!!!
