As a kiwi I couldn’t resist watching to see whether you released that beast of a snapper or not. Stoked to see you let that big breeder go. So many people these days don’t and it’s really hammering the ability of the fish stocks to handle fishing pressure. Thanks for being a considerate and caring visitor Taku! If you want any suggestions of places to go fishing or things to do feel free to get in touch, I’m a tour guide and have traveled NZ extensively for work and pleasure and always happy to help :)
The best breaders are 45-65cm ones. Also that fish has bred for 50+ years. Makes more sense killing one old one compared to stopping 7 ones from 40+ years of breading.
Personal opinion I guess.
I would just rather take one fish to feed everyone.
@jeremy sources for your claims please? Would love to read up on snapper spawn rates for research
Taku a good guy 😅
U completely forgot abt your girlfriend and just worries abt yourself lol
@@thedcash26 decades of catching snaps during spawning season. The roe is amazingly bright coloured and beautiful texture in those size fish, the 20lb / 80cm fish have a definite lack of colour and texture. Also killing one big one and stopping the future potential spawn cycles of that singular fish has way less impact then stopping the potential spawn cycles of 7 fish each one many many years younger.
Very well done for releasing the giant. Indeed, their breeding capacity is vital (same for huge rockfish back in the Bay Area).
also that fish was probably 30 t0 40 years old
lmao how he gonna haul it back over the mountain with all his gear anywy
@@Mythreesons137. More than that. Good on him for letting it go.
Imagine the mercury and heavy metal in a fish that old!!
@@Mythreesons137. no it wasn't. Lmfao. Don't take long for snapper go grow big. Especially in a remote area like he was in, to catch one that size from shore and not on a boat, says alot of the ecosystem there. The problem is there's too many of them, you see how he caught alot of smalls and only one giant one ? You need to get rid of the small ones to produce the giants. We do it well here in texas, which is why we have big black drums and big redfish u can catch right off the jetties.
I will always respect Taku because he always takes down the first sip of beer like an absolute champion. Half a can or nothing! lol
Bloody awesome bro, so many people in NZ have tried to be in the 20 pound plus club but still have not, you are here less than a week and you nailed it. Well done bro!
I got lucky!
@@magasiva6963 yeah bro my biggest is 16.5 pound i haven't lock over 20 pound plus just yet.
@@jasonnguyen.7154 one day bro keep charging it.
@@magasiva6963 yo hard. One day 👌👌👌
@@magasiva6963 I’m p Mk
Your excitement resonates through the screen! That was definitely thrilling catching that big fish 👏👏
Had me jumping out my seat when I saw that massive snapper 😂 Good stuff man welcome to New Zealand
As a Kiwi who's followed your channel since that epic hut you stayed at in Alaska, it was such a pleasure to see you land that horse of a snap man well done
The same video that got me on to this guy!😂😂😂
This show is always presented in a very relaxed way giving me a sense of pleasure of watching it all the time. Every act within comes so natural and unpretentious. Great show indeed, Taku ! Thank you
I could feel your excitement when you landed that huge snapper! Well done and congrats!
Let’s go New Zealand!! That was an unbelievable snapper! Released to fight another day. The sashimi looked amazing as always. And making fish stock for the miso soup was a game changer. What a way to start the trip!
I've followed you from the beginning! and for you to now be in my homeland is Full circle for me! I'm incredibly proud to be from New Zealand and to watch you experience it is amazing!
I am so stoked about NZ and your love for fishing is contagiousJocelyn is a rock star!
Hell of a fish Taku and thanks to Joc for the moral support!
loved this, fantastic! Jocelyn is such an amazing trooper hauling that lunch cooler the entire way. So proud of you guys, truly.
So happy for you two, been here since your first catch and sushi with Ish and can't believe what this channel has grown to in the last few years! Enjoy your time in NZ!
Taku is a straight up badass. That brought a tear to my eye seeing how happy he was on that catch.
Taku releases a 53 minute video while I'm at work.....now i've got to wait 6 hours before I can sit down and watch it properly.
I’m at work and I’m gonna sit here n watch it properly as I snack 😭😭😭
just got home awhile ago got me a cold one gunna check out this fish he caught
@@theninedivides6851 fucking massive😵💫😵💫😭
Go take a dump or 2 and watch 1/3 of it 😃
@@2Bullies If i do this every time Taku drops a video, l'd have the worst Hemorrhoids .
Welcome to New Zealand, hope you have an awesome time here!
I've been following you guys for years and I just wanna say I'm extremely proud of yun's 🙂 not many people can accomplish as much as yall have. Congratulations on that snapper and THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU ❤️
Another banger from my favorite TH-cam fishing channel. How have Outdoor Chef Life not reached 1 million subs is beyond me!
Congratulations Taku! What a fish of a lifetime! I bet Okuma loves to see that happen. Keep it up I love watching you and Joslin. Watching from the Bay Area.
So happy to see you in NZ! I love NZ and have been several times already which included a camper-van road trip around the South Island. Looking forward to seeing what adventures you get up to in this series.
AHHHH so happy you have made it to little beautiful NZ! Hope you have an amazing time here!
Welcome to New Zealand guys. What a awsome fish bro can't wait to see more. Hope you both have a safe trip around our beautiful little country.
Yess !! I was so piss when you lost the Tuna in Niue, but now you got an amazing red snapper :)
I love this channel so much ! And the New Zealand videos are incredible.
Thank you Taku and Jocelyn
That was a once in a Lifetime Snapper! Congratulations Taku!
So stoked you're here, really hope you enjoy what NZ has to offer!
So awesome to have you Taku and Jocelyn in our very own backyard! Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy! You will never want to leave, or even consider moving here. 😊
Taku does such a great job bringing his videos to life. He makes the most of it while others battle heat and swat the flies.
Autumn will arrive soon. The weather will feel so fresh and nice then. My favourite season. The winter weather will be great too. Not too cold. Just nice.
Can’t wait for all the New Zealand content. So happy for you with that giant snapper. The adrenaline rush you captured was amazing my man.
These episodes are so good! Keep up the great work! I am living vicariously through you.
I’ve been following you for over a year now and I’m happy to see you in my country fishing what I use to catch and eat! Enjoy the rest of your time here brother! KIA KAHA keep doing your thing. We love it
Also…. That thing you caught off the rocks was insane mate… I’ve not seen one that big from there before..
Awesome taku, it kind of makes up for the giant fishes you couldn't get in Niue. Your reaction to this catch made me so happy for you ❤❤
Welcome to New Zealand Taku and Jocelyn! Kahawai are great eating as long as you bleed them out straight away. They are also very popular smoked with manuka wood.
Wow. You're keen az hiking hills, through the gauze then scaling down a cliff to go back up again. I'm so glad your effort wasn't wasted and you landed a huge one. Really grateful you returned him to the sea and the other small one only taking what you needed. Thank you. You're both welcome here. Eat well!!! Mauri Ora.
You guys make me so, so happy. Beautiful energy between you both. Sustainable fishing. Incredible food. Adventures with love and fun. Enjoy the NZ hospitality and incredible scenery. Australia next hopefully?? Love your channel. Thank you from Sydney, Australia xx
You are awesome for releasing that beast and are super aware of your needs and necessities. Knowing you dont need that much meat and releasing it, thats highly admirable for me. Im a noobie fisherman but seeing that inspires me to think differently when catching fish.
Well done Taku! This must have felt like redemption after losing the monsters previously.
Just wanna share one point though if you're reading this, circle hooks are not meant to be set violently. Yanking it hard will tend to lose you the fish as the hook may slip out of the mouth. Instead, just let the fish take the bait and reel back slowly until the tension gradually tightens and the hook will set perfectly on the mouth.
Tight lines and may you enjoy every bit NZ offers you.
I've been a fan of Taku since i first saw him on gridlessness with Jeff and family. I knew after seeing him for the first time preping and serving up beautiful fresh food that this guy and his partner was special. He continues to inspire me. His personality, humble, happy,real, knowlege and classy presentation of food is awesome. Great to see him and his wonderful lady in our country. What a great snapper to catch first time fishing here off the rocks. Enough to make some of the bros envious. Tena ka to ka toa ehoa.
Welcome to NZ. I admire your enthusiasm; you have a zest for life that is contagious & it's great to see Jocelyn enjoying your company. Best wishes & travel safe to you both.
Bro you guys are awesome!!! Making our dreamlife back then a reality through your adventure. Keep posting them!!!!
So I just got so pump watching this Im prepping myself to go on the rocks and fish here in Hawaii (vacation). Was just gonna sit and chill but not after this episode!!!
I'm loving these long form videos taku! The more the merrier
Another outdoorcheflife classic. Bravo y’all! Thank you!
Wow! I could feel the excitement flowing through! It gave me great joy to see and hear your excitement, then to turn the catch into a beautiful looking meal! Well done.
It's a pleasure having you and your wife here, please enjoy our paradise and a lot of fishermen would be jealous of your monster catch, especially me.
Man, New Zealand looks incredible! I'm really looking forward to your journeys there. Cornish Pilchard is what Brits call sardines from Cornwall. Have a great trip, you two!
Love all this long series! Keep up the good work Taku!
you two are inspiring. thank you for another awesome upload Taku and Jocelyn!
Great catch and so glad you released it. One tiny point is not to put plastic bags in the ocean. Haven't looked into it too much but I think you can get enviro-friendly balloons from most tackle stores. Great catch for a new area congrats and enjoy NZ it has some of the most pristine places left on the planet.
Love the excitement with that big snapper, and even better that you released it and kept the smaller fish! What an epic trip 😎
So glad you're both living your dream! Looking forward to many more videos from this trip!
Aloha Taku and Jocelyn. Thanks for the awesome content. Can't wait for the next NZ video. My family and I took a family trip to NZ a few years back and it was the best family trip we ever took. Beautiful county with beautiful people. Aloha
"Get outta here birds! It's not for you! NO! Go away" I just love Taku's commentary I chuckled at that one
Dude, one of your best videos. You should do more vlog videos like this. Show how you got where you are, show your experience. Nice vid. Proud of you. You're growing.
How amazing of you! Thanks for showing such beautiful place. Arigato!
Taku and Jocelyn, you're in my favourite country in the world, doing the things I dream of doing. You're an inspiration for my next trip there, thank you for showing me the way...
Welcome to Aotearoa NZ Taku , well done on the big snapper, be over 30lb for sure and people spend all their lives trying to catch them that big! 🎣 👌🏾
It’s fishing adventures like these that keep us coming back, even if we get skunked for 10 trips
this has easily become one of my favorite channels!! i found it a few days ago and im hooked i really love watching you guys create the food
Amazing job with the content as always! Great drone footage of an incredible landscape. New Zealand is definitely on my list. Wishing you all the best on your adventures.
That was some monster Red Snapper - congratulations bruh, and for releasing it too!
It’s dead anyway
Its soooo endearing how excited he is.
I'm a grown man but I definitely teared up with joy when you landed THAT fish. So awesome. I was so stoked for you and would have reacted the same way.
I had been fishing with my Dad in Hawaii my whole life and we did a lot of shore fishing. The year before he passed, on his birthday, I had the biggest fish (I think) hooked of my life and after a long battle, I lost it. It was gut wrenching. Dad wasn't able to be on the shore with me during the fight (though I was calling for him to come down) and I remember telling him the story later and he too was both excited and disappointed.
But I also remember him sharing with me that this was all about. You try. You fight. You win some and you lose some. And though I never had the chance to fish with him again after that, I still remember that day (and all the times I fished with him) and give thanks for the memories. I still think about what it would have been like to maybe have landed THAT fish with him being there. So yeah, when you lose some of those fights, I feel that. But when you landed that beast, I couldn't help but feel that was a win for me too.
Side note: I wish your channel existed when he was here -- he would have LOVED it, especially these last two videos. He would easily have teared up too. All this to say, keep up this amazing content and adventure, living life to the fullest. Thanks for being a great role model for fisherman in lots of different ways and thanks to all the work you and Jocelyn do to provide this awesome content. Keep living stoked and with gratitude. Looking forward to your next adventure.
Congratulations!!! Excellent catch and release. Looking forward to more from this trip!
Big thumbs up for the releases and that is from the heart and as an Aussie that loved sashimi way back in the early 80s snapper have been one of my favourite fish for this . Your trip to the land of the long white cloud will be a land seafood dreams and memories of a lifetime .
never seen taku this happy for a very long loooong time lmao
Most dudes would be stoked after catching a fish that big but yeah NZ is a beautiful place
this is so cool, international fishing trips are a blast, hope you do more videos like this!
Can't help but smile while hearing the excitement in your voice. Awesome stuff
I can't believe you made your girl carry the cooler
I was thinking the same thing
Lol bro only when he was filming, was she carrying.
Love you guys, I hope you both are alright. Joslyn's body language is a bit off. I hope you can hold that down or she might start looking for some King Mackerel. Perhaps you need a non TH-cam Video Vacation, and get a HOME BASE. Just asking because in many of the last videos her body has be saying many things. I hope I am wrong, anyone reading this would agree and say I am delusional. Make sure you HOLD IT DOWN TAKU!
Log off pervert.
The title might be ironic.
@@tsak912 well, she might want something else on the sashimi menu. looks like you and taku may not recognize what a women wants. all in all I could be wrong. however, that body language telling my mind no..but my body.....my body telling me yes!
Agreed, she doesn't look happy at all in this video
@@daztography1sometimes people have arguments and stuff ya know
You deserve a million thumbs up for thinking about the future and letting that beast go. Awesome video as usual!
Happy for you guys. Living the dream.
Hey taku thankyou for another awesome video,love watchn them. Been a fan for the last 2/3 years! was also a privilege meeting you an your partner in the super market here in Auckland New Zealand, keep the awesome videos coming an we hope you enjoyed your time here in New Zealand
Belated welcome to NZ Taku and Jocelyn..glad you landed that big snapper and released it.
I love the Outdoor Chef Life recipes you share with us.
Enjoy your stay and i hope you get yourself that dream kingfish.👌
That sashimi presentation was down right gorgeous! I said, "beautiful!", on repeat out loud. Great catch!
Taku I have followed u since day 1. Your attempts at setting ur toe in this game. The immediate growth, your courage to take this step. Just want to say congratulations. Much respect…so happy for u. I can feel ur happiness thru these clips. Do me one favor………stop wearing ur YBS shorts and top. I saw u had on different shorts and smiled for 29 min. Show YOU, not others…u r who we come to see. May NZ be all u have hoped for and may u be safe, blessed and may J also be happy in spite of the bugs. Show her some love, daily. Thus came about with the both of u at 50/50%.
I loved seeing the two of you chow down. Great adventure.
Thanks for sharing. I'm looking forward to following along with your travels in NZ.
My lord Taku, not only a dream fish, but you made what I would consider to be peak meal, that presentation was so simple yet stunning. There is little I love more in life than skin-on (usually torched) Snapper sashimi, with possibly the exception of Snapper head soup, and adding the Dashi, my god dude... I'm literally salivating so much that it requires a conscious effort to keep myself from drooling.
Welcome to our nz Taku. So glad you landed your massive Snapper. Yay. Glad you guys enjoyed the place. You and your partner are always most welcome. Safe travels and please come back again..
Welcome to New Zealand. One Chef to another, I look for to seeing your adventures in our beautiful country.
WOW! That was one big snapper!!!! Your hair looks really beautiful, Jocelyn.
Palo is an amazing host but you have an amazing chef too. Just wish I had a seat at that table. I can’t wait to visit my family in NZ!!! Thanks Taku for sharing this experience.
This is so freaking awesome! Looks like the trip of a lifetime. Absolutely worth the wait.
It really is!
10/10 on every aspect!!! Have a great trip!!
