One of the most under valued fishing channels on TH-cam. You deserve more Chris!

Do you have the simrad? Is omni? If so, could you help me with settings and tilt?

I have a TH-cam channel and 4 seasons of fishing episodes on my fishing show visions of granders. All my viewers love the videos and content and I’m often messaged that people are surprised how low of views I have and how low of subscribers I have. I have alot of content however I need someone to help me market this channel and grow it. The channel is ‘waterman’

Hey Chris if you get the chance come to Kenya, def one of the best marlin fisheries in Africa

That thing obliterated its face! Gnarly. Did this fish survive?

Wish my boat mate helped in Cabo. Mine got off right at the boat

Hey Chris, for a noob like me, you are a godsend! My kids watch you and we practise what you preach. I'm grateful that i got to know you on TH-cam. Its on my bucket list to meet you one day🤞. Greetings from Kenya 🇰🇪

Very very cool video, cool soundtrack! Nice one Chris!!

Yeah bro more videos like these

Love GZ lures. Yall should perhaps expand by like adding all sorts of fishing gear from little things like cush-its to as big as outriggers. We need something like that. A place where we can find everything without having to have 5 different carts from 5 different websites when prepping for a season. I think it would be really cool if you guys could like even develop partnerships with baitmasterz and companies like that and just have everything from everywhere including bait . Also maybe this is reaching but I think it would be very cool if there was like an open chat or like a place in the site where we could ask questions and people could answer kinda like the hull truth website.

Aloha Chris if anytime you got marlins like that and can’t make it lmk I’ll take them off your hands

Don’t tell everyone the secret. I’ve always chose the captains I wanted to catch a fish with and it never failed me… You put the time in and manifest it will happen.

Yeah, I fish out of NC. Omni is so common here that I’ve decided to change tactics this year, stay away from other boats and fish big lures for big fish. Non- Omni and you can’t compete with them as far as release numbers in a tournament

This message is gold, I preach this to the boys regularly. All ways strive to be a better fisherman and human. ✌️

On Point" so true Chris!! one of the ways u find out,, (there R some of your friends that you don't even want them on the boat)

I wouldn’t go out unless I thought I had a chance. Funny thing is the more I fish (especially bill fish) the luckier I get!

just out of interest. What to do you consider cold water up your way ? down here in NZ 23 is good. We obviously get a lot of striped Marlin with their temp tolerance but we still get a few good blues with 5 granders landed in our fishing history, nothing like Kona but still iteresting .

Great comment on the Omni. I’m with you, Good vibes, believe it’s going to happen and don’t forget how to read the elements

So true!

Cant agree more about the feeling and confidence, so true !!

Love the channel. Cheers

You’re a good dude for sharing this. Helping people of all ages live the good life on land and sea. My first goal is safety for my crew, second is having fun and third is being lucky enough to land any fish that happens to hit our lines. Most of the first timers that run offshore are amazed just seeing dolphins, whales, sharks, flying fish, turtles, ect. Thanks again.

Awesome stuff! So true! Love the big ahi footage myself, a big yellowfin hype video, please 🙏 one day.

More gold.. definitely have experienced positive energy and intent helping fishing of all sorts and definitely know that being negative begets negative results.. keep it up!

truth! lol I have a customer chad we always say he brings the juju. he fished 3 days with me and we were 5 for 5 and killed one in a tournament got bit 30 seconds after lines in. manifest it same with getting barreled! or like cap says get your head right !

🔥 🔥 good luck this season!

I just love the first 10 minutes of this video mate… that’s such a great message and advice for life, not just fishing.. we are lucky to even get out to try and catch these fish… so good.. I’m sharing this wide

Whole bunch of lure names without All manufacture names Or photos of the product ?

AWESOME!!!! That Big Billy fought hard and true

Living the dream

it happens to all of us ! the grind is real .At least we are doing what we love every day, most pppl are old and retired before they get a chance to do what they love!

Your stories create imagery that many can only dream of, making blue marlin fishing so Contagious.

Your stories create an imagery that is makes blue marlin fishing so contagious. Thanks

I love watching these videos. Both fish were impressive for sure. Was there any damage to the boat from where that first fish hit the cabin ? That second fish was a monster. Unbelievable how something that large can move so quickly as one minute the stern is close and the next the fish is off in the distance.

Great stories . It must be quite something to hook into a fish of that size. Sometimes it’s not meant to be and boat the fish. There are still the memories of that late afternoon and the one that got away.

Thanks Chris and Cole😊sounds great what you guys are doing 👍Harry.

Chris that's what fishing is all about mate some great days and other days a big O but it's the people you meet on board and the stories they tell,great video Chris,you're hard worker and ir takes patience 👍 😀 Harry

All the best for 2024 Chris and everyone on your home island ❤has to be better 👍 it's good to hear what lures you are using 😀 great video.Harry

Haven't seen you for a while Chris,great to see you guys back,Harry👍😊 going back to NZ soon.Maybe have a fish and see family.

These stories, caught or not, are what fishing is all about in the end, great times to have, experiences to learn from, moments to cherish not only with your loved ones, family and friends but also with future generations because we're inspired all our lives by older stories that are benchmarks (what a great name your boat has) that make us wanna chase these dream fishes even more. As you explained so well, it"s hard to switch from release mode to kill mode that quick especially after releasing that many fishes most of the time. Like in music, playing jazz for a long time and then quicly have to switch to hard rock is not easy to do. The Ocean has its ways to remind us it's a constant adventure and why we love it so much. Excellent content as always, keep on inspiring.

Really enjoying all the videos. Especially how you tell what lure they ate. Keep keeping it real!!

Hell yeah, i love the stories. It brings back memories of fishing Kona, I was the crew on many boats, Sea Baby III, Pamela, Kona Lure, Sea Genie, Hookele, Sundowner etc. I truly miss fishing Kona and would love to do it again. Keep telling your stories, i love your channel, keep getting the Hanapaa's brother!!

Chris, love the channel, been watching for about a year whilst doing FIFO work in Australia, have learnt a lot and improved my blue techniques. Keep it up and when i get to Kona i will definitely be booking a trip. Cheers Steve Sunshine Coast Australia

Love the stories during the winter months.

Chris, the stories and videos are great during these winter months. So much heart break on the pulled ons. Your channel deserves 100 thousand plus subscribers because you are spreading the knowledge you have gained from HI and the South Pacific. I wish you continued good health and dream of the day I can make it to Kona to fish with you. Stay strong and good luck with GZ Lures.

Capt - enjoying the stories, and thank you for recounting our story in your video. The one that got away - it is an experience I will never forget. Mahalo to you and Nick. Aloha until next time!

Stuff like this is awesome. Love the link up with gz as well!!

🙌🙌🤙

Haha well the memory strikes again, Lure Spread: Short Corner:Aloha Lures sundowner (tony chacheres) Long Corner: Black Bart Blue Breakfast Pink Head Southern Destiny 1025 special (black and pink skirts) Short Rigger: Tantrum XL Bandit Kona Cut aka Rick from Arizona Long Rigger: Aloha Lures Baby smash purple head Stinger: Tantrum Large Bullet Feathersword Edition Left side: Firetailz dredge Right Side Teaser: Pink squid chain followed by the Extra large dog lure (blue and yellow skirts, white bottom/black top head) The only one I'm unsure about is the long rigger. I know for certain the feathersword was on stinger because we were testing it out there'd we caught the smaller fish on it a bit later in the day. And we hadn't pulled the tournament smash out yet on the long so i think we were working with baby smash there but we also could've had magic malolo out that day for a spear. However, the rest of the lineup I'm 1000 percent on A fish I will never forget and one of the best memories of my life. Don't blame yourself Crispy, you played our cards expertly that day, we just had a full house and the fish had a straight flush. You crushed it the whole time on the wheel and I have no regrets brother. Reminds me of all the great days we have had out there together

Bring it on with the big fish stories!! Especially with video footage!! Love it, love the channel, keep up the hard work.
