I've now been in conversation with three separate guys from around Australia who, as soon as I mentioned this channel, knew IMMEDIATELY who I was talking about... You're a legend among the fishing enthusiasts and island-hopping boat owners around the country. Keep up the great work, mate...

I can't begin to describe how much I look forward to these videos on Fridays! Absolute perfect way to kill a work week! Ty Rokkit !

Don't get in your head so much what a video should be like, I would watch a video of you just driving up north sleep in your car try to catch something eat it or not. It's always a great adventure. I believe regular uploads are the most important thing in the youtube game.

We binged about 20 episodes last night. Love them mate! ❤

This is it! Now we’re in business… all the fans have been waiting for this vid, and all the ones to follow. PS The lucky hat still hanging around!

I do indeed watch Mav. I feel like he’d love your videos if he isn’t watching already. 👍

That fish looked so delicious and it couldn’t have been easier to prepare.

Awesome video Rod, that boat was made for you. Fishing action was just epic. I hope you get the Minn Kota trolling motor with spot lock. That way you don't have to anchor all the time. Anyways enjoyed the video and can't wait till the next video. Be safe out there and have a blessed day. Aloha from Kansas

Nice boat, had the same inflatable first and now 4.26m tiller steer fibreglass boat trying to set it up ready to go. Look at Andy's Fishings & Lateral Line's tents that fit their boat, will be perfect for you.

Hitting the jackpot, 1 hour Long video! Best way to end Friday

Haven’t been this early before!!! New boat, new adventures!

Great video Rokkit. Get yourself a portable battery jump starter for your outboard. It's a good backup if you accidentally drain your main battery.

What an epic ride, cheers Rod for bringing us a long, beaut boat mate, great for fam trips to, especially when the kids get older . And what a nice couple of fish , you should be very proud as when I first followed you it was the stealth kayak , and look how far youve come. All the best for Christmas to you and your family and looking forward to the new years adventures, thanks again, Phil

I just had a stroke and was lying in my hospital bed discovered your amazing Chanel 🎉it gives me some hope and motivation to recover and go out to those islands in your country … thanks for sharing such amazing places

An hour and six minute movie!! Let's go!! Love from the smokies!

The new boat is sick! Great layout and obviously well built.

When i started watching i said to myself that i hoped is was a long video. i shouted a big YEH! when i saw that is was over an hour long. Rod is the only person that can make me watch three hours of live fishing, producting or not.

Nice to see the boat out stretching its legs

i can hear by the Cicadas carrying on that it's a stinking hot day, or will be. That boat really is the Ducks Guts Rod. That's a massive and great step up. Gr8 Vid. BTW> You need a fold-down boarding ladder now.

Rod my friend, you don't need to excuse yourself every time. I appreciate all your vids. Happy holidays to family and you. Much love from Germany.

Well you broke the boat in with Mark now it's time to adventure but get a kicker and stow it and bring extra gas for the kicker you can allways add 2 stroke oil to the kicker gas it needed. You go man. Ya man.

The boat looks like the perfect inbetween a rubber boat and a bigger boat.

Tough call😂😆! Shine On ☝️😃🤙✌️🕊️🪶

Love this boat

I'm thinking this boat is definitely a great work in progress!...as you use trays to lock the gas cans and batteries in position...plus I wonder about a form fitting side cooler to put the catch In!... possibilities are endless! I can't wait to see an island adventure!.. you're life is a wonder!!!...thanks buddy!!!

38:00 it looks like it would be a good idea to put a handle to grab on to where your hand is at 😂

Sorry you couldn't sort things out in the beginning with the spear, mate. Visibility makes a huge difference. The new boat looks excellent. Hope all is well!

Happy to see you ! 💙Wow ! nice place ! this boat is a trooper, amazing, it looks fast and safe on the speed.I wish you Rod and family a very joyful Christmas time 👍🎅😁 🌏Love your energy and adventures ! Thanks a lot for sharing ❣🛥

Hey maybe you could make a cutting board with a hinge that doubles as a cover for that storage space and flips completely over on top

Just when I thought I was done living vicariously through you, bam another video.

YESSSS MATE! Christmas wishes to you and your fam!

Yes rod!!! Spoilt with an hour long episode!

Congrats on the boat! Living the dream!

It would be cool to have subtitles for what you’re trying to convey and what you’re looking at while you’re underwater :)

I always wait for the oil lights in the tiller handle to come on and go off before starting the outboard, that way the oil has been distributed, that's just me. you helped me so much with my fishing I would like to think I could contribute something useful for you, lol

I’ve been looking forward to a Catch & Cook video with the new boat! Couldn’t have come at a better time. You rock Rod, I love your videos and they get better with every upload!

Hey mate, the brothers that tripped up towards PNG on back to basics raved about rabbit fish, highly prized by Yorres islanders.

The defining moment for me in this video and the reason I respect Rod greatly came at 12:57 … The very moment he trimmed off a very small piece of line and carefully made sure it was tucked away safely for future disposal . This is proof of his burning desire to protect our planet . A strange observation I guess but a priceless moment for me .

Dude, i'm SO Stoked for you being able to get your dream boat! It is definitely a beut. Cheers man!

If it rains have a tarp you can cover your bedding under the net. Just take it off the shelf cover up like a blanket and the BILDG pump will keep you dry. No I'm not crazy

Nice video, Glad you are loving the new boat. The fish looked tasty! Fish on brother!

The latest will get to 1 million views, the solo boat/camping always do well. A great start to the weekend. Hopefully not to hot sleeping in the boat when you get the chance.

Rest of my work day just got amazing 😁😁

exactly the kind of videos i wanna see hope for one more around christmas. thanks cheeers

My good god I would love to be there scuba diving but we have at least 8 inches of snow here in Ontario lol

My last long range kayak trip turned into a Greek tragedy with the weather! Just got back. Sometimes they just don’t go to plan. However eating fresh mackerel steaks in the end??? Not a bad trip at all. Cheers man!!

Great video Rod! Love the new boat! Btw catch n cook looks tasty!

I want that boat! Good for you man getting out on the new craft!

Great vid mate. Fun to be on that boat. Enjoy✌️🎣✌️🍺🍻

Awesome stuff Rod. The new boat is mint. Can't wait for more adventures.

Perfect video for a Saturday morning

absolutely love this boat, perfect size and thought out. Save fishing. God bless

cant wait till u go further with the new boat 👏👏👏

Whoo-hoo a whole hour!! Forget the cuppa, I need a full pot and a fry up to watch this. New boat is gorg! Thank you!!

19:02 comedy gold, honestly

Wow!! Rod, that's a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ meal!!

Brother I love all your videos. You have no idea how much of a therapy they are for me. Thank you so much for creating them and please don't ever stop.

Been waiting for this video! Thanks Rod. Love the new boat. Looks fantastic!!

Awesome to see the progression of your videos and your personal growth as a content creator. Stoked to be able to watch you chasing your dreams. Keep it up 😊

you need to mount a handle where you try to get a grip with your right hand while under way

You live in paradise my friend!

Love it! Giggling like a little girl. 🥰

Love the hour long video! Been waiting all week for this haha

Get yourself a magnetic bar mounted on the boat. Hold all your tools at the ready. Lures too after you take fish off so there’s no toe pokes. Happy everything’s coming together for you!

And merry Christmas rod !!! My wife and I send our love to you and your family can't wait till the next video👌

Boat is looking great 👍🏻 really pleased for you and looking forward to more adventures.

I hate how your videos make me so so hungry everytime 😂 good catch mate.

Don't be afraid of promoting or having sponsored video Rod! We want you happy, healthy and wealthy! It will keep you motivated and in exchange, we know you will bring us these so damn great, high quality videos of yours! Cheers!

Can’t wait to see what’s new!

It's looking like a great season coming up Rod!

Love these videos. Watching from Texas U.S.. Makes me want to go visit Australia one day for fishing trips like that.

My god you were nervous first trip done thank God and now it's back to business as usual. Thank God for those spoties

Congratulations, beautiful boat! I'm looking forward to seeing the adventure coming!

Finally a camping video, Christmas came early !

Awesome boat mate. The adventures expand and continue 😎👍🏻

Been following you for years mate. It's just so good to see just enjoying this boat you worked so hard for! You KILLED the first fishing trip with this one! Lifelong fan here!

i needed this video today! it was cool to see you have an epic first boat adventure! best to you and your family!

Thanks for all the awesome content.

I'm looking forward to you and the whole family going on one of these island adventures.

Rokkit…have a look at Fisherman’s life to see how he does rock cod. He loves them and almost always prefers them😊 love your content….no swearing and no blasphemy 👏👏👏👏

Awesome long video to christen the boat. So cool. Just so cool. I’d give a lot for that boat. Not everything. But i’d give a lot

Love the new boat! Great buy brother it’s beautiful.

Can't wait for more adventures

Really fun. It doesn't always have to be a big adventure.

Happy holidays to you and your family! Thanks for another great video. Cheers, mate. 🚤🎣

19:01 Needs a Warning label in case you drinking or eating something while watching this! LMAO. 39:04 That Flat Section with the Black Panelling is could use a handle of sorts....I noticed as you where coming out the Bank where you where trying to hold onto something with your right hand..could be handy for then.

Beautiful boat, great trip, fish looks amazing. Love you brother!

Huge new boat Rod, that's incredible 👏 congratulations

What an awesome video again Rod, bloody love it, how good did that new boat handle in those big waves, I bet your looking forward to going to new places now. Keep up the good work mate👍👍

Another awesome video bro!!!!! Love your videos and seeing your new boat at work.

37:40 - I think you need to add a proper grab handle! It will help keep you from bouncing off the seat.

outstanding as always

So yum looking...nice fishing nice cooking...thk you!

Yeah baby!!!! Rod is back in full force.

Thank you Rod, "nice" vid. You didn't bugger up, that's how adventures go and I'm more than happy to follow you.

An island, spear fishing, stripies and mackerel. Great to see you out taking us on another fishing trip, just like old times. Thanks for taking us with you, Rod!
