Damm bro that would off given me a hellq jumpscare 😂, especially when it hit the kayak chasing that kingy. Rippa runnies to the decent of the rod. But Hella nice kingy you landed.
Bro crazy episode, great watch! I had a Slammer combo ripped out of my hands by a huge snapper take while I wasn't ready up at North Cape, its so gutting watching your rod hissing away haha.
Ahh kingfish.... they do like to test us..... yet we keep going back again and again.... hahah. Great vid Matt. Shark footage was awesome edge of the seat! bring on the next one.
its the challenge that keeps us coming back! cheers Andy, your live bait is gonna get smashed one of these days, the winter kings sure can be tricky to find
Awesome action. I met you briefly when you were parked up at papamoa, i was jogging early with a couple of mates. My garmin striker just died after 5 years abuse. I think your power cable pins just need cleaning.
Thanks mate. Was cool to meet yah, yea the strikers are pretty hard to kill. The transducer pins just needed a bit of a clean up with a wire brush and it was back in business.
Holy moly cotton candy I saw that in a short dont think I've seen the video, But damm Fok that bro, way to in the personal Bubble lol,. Have an amazing rest of your week.
another educational, entertaining video of high level and quality. Thank you. This afternoon I bought the same fishing rod as you lost. If you live in Aucland or not far away, stop by and I’ll give it to you.
just saw ur upgrade on IG haha look forward to seeing that in action. think that kingfish that gave u an easy fight set you up by used its last energy to kick that softbait setup haha
Haha yea properly stitched me up. Can't wait to drag some big dogs out with the slammer, 2500 size reel that puts out 9kg of drag... fish don't know what coming!
Great video's, my worst nightmare being on a tiny kayak with a shark chasing a fish...no thanks! It's a wonder you don't feel like a lure sometimes in that big expanse of Ocean.
hahah thanks bro! fishing from a toothpick is definitely an acquired taste, but its what gets me up in the morning! sometimes I do feel a bit like a lure with all the critters that come up to have a look
It was a penn warfare 3000 with a Penn squadron 4-8kg reel (loved that combo😭) typically I have a rule not to leash my Rods as the tangles they cause can cause some dangerous situations.. currently prototyping some quick release rod leashes so that I don't need to worry about tangles. Cheers mate
Yeah nice one bro bugger about your rod though…I remember reaching back to put my rod in the rod holder on my yak and missed altogether…bye bye Saltiga 😂. I leash everything now
Yep, dang it. I don't leash my Rods because of tangles. If I end up in the water with a kingfish on and a rid leash around my wrist it could quickly go bad. Also when I'm wash fishing I often need to back paddle out of breaking waves , If I tangle a leash around the paddle I could end up on the rocks. I'd rather loose a rod than loose my life
damn! unlucky uce, why is it that the softbait rod gets taxed aye, first time fish snapped it, now this one knocks it off. Those were some really nice fish tho.
@@NomadicKayakFishing stability with the stealth has never been a issue & fishing for spanish mackerel longtail tuna large (80+cm) snapper & kingfish are about just normally chasing something else lol spoilt for choice...but i have no doubt it could handle it if you ever get the chance to try one i would highly recommend it & nothing beats the peace of mind that my rods gear & catch are well secured below deck if something goes amiss when landing or launching in the surf zone. all the best mate
@@NomadicKayakFishing goodthing about longtail is they are cleaner fighters than kingies kingies will burry you in the closest bit of structure usually quickly but longtail tend to be about speed & stamina hope you get the chance to experience them 1 day bro ...snapper usually fight dirtier than LT ;)
pretty scary shaking stuff alright, That bronze whaler was big enough to freak most good fisherman on a kayak out. It's happened to me a few times now. Rest in peace rod over board 🙏
Haha I always Crack up watching my reactions to sharks 🤣 they can be such a nuisance... and yes rip to that rod. I hope it's comfy sitting on the sea floor lol
yea was a bit of a shame, i dont love having rod leashes as i find they create alot of tangles and can end up doing more harm than good. since loosing that rod i've made up some quick release leashed that can quickly detach from the rod to avoid the tangles. still learning every time i hit the water

Im a firm believer in braining my fish with a spike like you normally do
Yep definitely, not sure why I didn't this time...
Great content again. Filming all good on that Bronzy chasing the King.
Cheers bro

Love the adventures. Keep up the good work. Heart in the mouth for that shark
hahah cheers bro!

Cheers mate. Can't ask for your rod man, only right for u to go and catch some fish with it. Thankyou for the offer, tight lines!

You def made a memory that day🔥 lol that king should have a hint of soft bait rod and reel taste to it 😋
Yep won't forget that anytime soon. That king tasted amazing tho. Super fat and buttery, almost so good I forgot about the rod lol
@@NomadicKayakFishing Yeah boi
You got an email bro?
Yep, easier to Dm on instagram (@_matt09wells_)
What soft bait combo was that? Lesson learnt, always leash everything.
It was a penn warfare 3000 with a Penn squadron 4-8kg reel (loved that combo😭) typically I have a rule not to leash my Rods as the tangles they cause can cause some dangerous situations.. currently prototyping some quick release rod leashes so that I don't need to worry about tangles. Cheers mate
Nice skills👍👍
Cheers
Yeah nice one bro bugger about your rod though…I remember reaching back to put my rod in the rod holder on my yak and missed altogether…bye bye Saltiga 😂. I leash everything now
That hurt to read! Not the saltiga😭😭😭. Thanks bro
Dang it! Often wonder, why you don’t leash your rods?
Yep, dang it. I don't leash my Rods because of tangles. If I end up in the water with a kingfish on and a rid leash around my wrist it could quickly go bad.

Cheers mate. I'll definitely miss that softbait rod, it had good MOJO.
if it aint leashed already consider it gone mate... another reason i love my fusion480 gets them below deck & outa harms way ...love your vids mate
Cheers mate. How do u find the stealth for stability? I often wonder how they'd handle locked drag on a kingfish
@@NomadicKayakFishing stability with the stealth has never been a issue & fishing for spanish mackerel longtail tuna large (80+cm) snapper & kingfish are about just normally chasing something else lol spoilt for choice...but i have no doubt it could handle it if you ever get the chance to try one i would highly recommend it & nothing beats the peace of mind that my rods gear & catch are well secured below deck if something goes amiss when landing or launching in the surf zone. all the best mate
Oh I'm jealous... Longtail Tuna are a dream of mine. Sounds like it's definitely worth giving a stealth a try. All the best bro, tight lines

An eye for an eye 😂
🤣

@@NomadicKayakFishing im sure it will be laying down under catching somethings attention.

Thanks

Softbait set is 15lb Edge casting braid and mechanical jigging set is 50lb Edge multicolored braid👍
👍 when ya can't get live bait jig ya ass off ! Straight from aus good work.
Yep that's the one! Cheers bro, aus us a bucket list place to go kayaking for me
And that’s why you always leash ya rods
well said
Hi just wondering if you are filming in nz? Thanks
Yep NZ born and bred
real shame about the rod i find it good to have rod leash's
yea was a bit of a shame, i dont love having rod leashes as i find they create alot of tangles and can end up doing more harm than good. since loosing that rod i've made up some quick release leashed that can quickly detach from the rod to avoid the tangles. still learning every time i hit the water
Should have iki'd that king maybe, good content though bro
