We are just cooking up a few pieces of that one now actually. Thanks Sam.

I worked as a mate with two of my brothers on charter, fishing boats, running out of Mississippi and Alabama, and we caught the largest and most quantity of large king mackerel (Spanish mackerel is what you call them there, but they are called King mackerel in the Gulf of Mexico.) while fishing overnight tied off to oil rigs on dead cigar minnows. We would catch larger quantities of smaller school size fish in the 8 to 15 pound range trolling during the daytime but nighttime, especially a couple hours before the sun came out seem to be the best time. Fishing around oil rigs structure in the Gulf of Mexico is obviously on the other side of the world from you so it may not be the same in terms of when they bite and where they bite. Most of the people who go fishing in that area fish primarily at night and we have never been able to catch one at night. We only catch them during the daytime so I know your frustration on other fish species and have witnessed the same thing where everybody else does at night except we can’t find any at night. That’s a whole other species and style of fishing.

I reckon that was a Thursday. The only day in weeks the water looked like that. Well done champ. It’s clear you don’t have a very diverse group of friends and acquaintances. Any Mac tuna I catch have an army of enthusiastic recipients. Especially the top loins. Live long and prosper.

Great video mate, curious when your going to run through all your fishing gear /tackle room? You said in your early q and a you would eventually run through it all, would love too see how much gear you actually have! Cheers buddy

Great stuff Sammy, think the Phantoms bad luck😂

G’day Legend, Or should I say G’day to Sir Sammy Hitzke , head of production.😂😂😂 Such a breath of fresh air , your “montage “ of EPIC music as you were catching the macky. A hint of Captain Jack Sparrow , Master of the Sea …. Joke aside , I enjoyed it…. Thank you for the adventures. Chris from Crete

Always great to see my Sammy fishing video notifications! Great video 💯

Love it bro no introduction and No Music . I’m subscribing now from a Aitutaki Cook Islander

Hahaha success congratulations mate. 👏👏 persistence pays off. 🍺🍺🍺👍

Atta boy Sammy! Way to get back into it! See you next week!

Those Mack Tuna seem to be the southern hemisphere equivalent of the Little Tunny. Fun to catch on light tackle but terrible table fare. We would keep one every now and then to cut up for bait.

Sharks must of slept in that day. Good Job

The fishing has been hard lately for me as well, my local FAD has been stolen and the fish don't seem to want to bite but your videos keep encouraging me to go out.

Finally! They haven't been easy to get to the boat the last few trips. We'll done for the persistence mate.

5:56 Been there, done that!!🤣🤣

Nice 1 mate. Great fish. Cheers 🍺

Great video as always Sammy keep up the good work. Watching from Florida U.S.A

Gang the mack tuna up

Great to see as this must’ve been the day where the sharks buggered off 😅

Yay 👏 Let's get some of you viewers to subscribe - get Sammy over 150k!!

Damn that was awesome! Good onya Sammy! 👍

Great work mate

Great show persistence on the mackeys you got a solid one! Im waiting for the speed your trolling your lures. please tell us next week!

From the states, great video brother!

I hooked 5 Spanish off Moreton the other day and sharks took every one of them. Such an endangered species.

Sammy time to share a fillet or two don't you reckon - Heinz Ipswich - one of my bucket list target fish

i like video my friend , Seeing you really enjoy going sea fishing, there are so many fish with you

Love the vid mate👌 Stay safe bud 🤙

Glad to see you back in the saddle Sammy 👍when you say strip bait what type of fish are you using?

Nice catch mate - perhaps a different sound track next time?

Yeah funny story. We up on a swains trip and 12 blokes told my uncle you wont catch a spanish at night.... 2am that morning my uncle gets a nice spanish close to the size the one u got in this video.... never seen a bigger grin on a bloke ever.

Nice mackerel! What strip baits are you running on your trolling heads?. Also keen to know what rods you are using, they look longer than most overhead rods I see around.

MACDADDY yeah 👍🏻 !

Personally some of my best mackerel fishing has been at night in suitable conditions and the right moons even after doing commercial mackerel fishing for a while

Cheers

Nice fish Sammy, maybe the camera man helps🤣

Would love to know where I can get those RLFTX12 Wilson rods, looked everywhere online and arnt even on the wilson fishing website

Sammy what speed are you trolling the heads

Does that spoon trick work on any fish or just ones with flesh like mackerel?

You should try jigging for mackerel at night with large redhead Halco max's. Ive caught probably close to a hundred Spanish at night doing that..

what bait are you trolling

yes i have caught mackerel at night drift fishing dead baitfish!

Totally agree. Gaff em anywhere you can. Your not selling them. The actual damage to any fillets is minuscule. Get ‘em in the boat!!

👍🤙🍻

You give up on the drop in outriggers?

Your videos are educational and as such bleeding etc is teaching your viewers how to dispatch and look after your catch! Oh the Karen's of the world 😡

First

I take it that Asian youtube content is different. I just watched a giant squid sliced to ribbons while still alive.

No to the heroic music dude

The youtube police strike again, must be nice to be god like on what can and can't be shown

Got to love that fish porn music

Sammy what is going on. For the uneducated showing how to humainly dispatch a fish should outway the sight of a little blood.

Kill the music ...

Since you have started using a camera man the videos haven't been the same and not for the better go back to the old ways south better or just a better camera man

No braining and bleeding of FISH on KZfaq now. Good god KZfaq really has gone to the dogs. Or should I say cats!!! Only snowflakes and glitter on this platform now 😂

Just when I was happy you started playing stupid endless music that millions of KZfaqrs do. I’m unsubscribing. From a Aitutaki Cook Islander

Since when cant u show the bleeding of fish? What is fhe model number for the texalium 8ft rod, cheers🎣🎣🎣

Funny how the rec's are allowed 1 or 2, YET the comms are allowed to catch way way way more...So who is doing the most carnage? The ones who take the most are...
