Some of you doubters and negative peeps have probably never experienced fishing like this but yet you still comment like your seasoned pro's !? These boys know what they are doing and do EXACTLY whats needed to land and return these beautiful fish. Seriously, get a life and go out fishing more often. Watch and learn !! Top job boys, excellent footage, I would give my right arm to do a session like that. Maybe one day :)
thanks for returning the fish guys. A major effect of human predation on a species is a decrease in average size. Returning fishensures that the big guys will still be around to reproduce and we wont reduce these big Trevallies to small fry. Cheers and great fishing!
This is an unreal video of cranking down on some real game fish. Well done, I can only imagine! From cranking poppers on largemouth bass to this, looks to be a BLAST!!!! On my Bucket list now!!!!!! Great job guys!
Unbelieveable !! Great vid & great sport guys. Good that your charter is teaching you the responsibility with these fish. They fight so hard that they are all but dead when you boat them. Really enjoyed this, well done.
Every time I watch this video I say "this is what I'll do one day" ... amazing video, amazing landscape, amazing people! respect sea ! :) you are great guys. siete grandi! cheers from Italy
That was the best and funniest video I've watched on TH-cam for years! This must be a dream come true fishingtrip! I've fished meikong catfish in thailand up to 35kg but they look like pulling a scooter compared to these fish, this is a real fight! I must contact gamefishingindia and start to plan a trip like this!!!
Well done boys, those GT are a brute of the sea on tackle gear and thank you for showing us how to fish. For get about the negative comments they are just resentment against your guys.
Looks a great trip, vast improvements over the 2011 trip. Don't mind the negative comments, many people have no clue on the pound-for-pound ferocity of GTs. Though I would like to suggest more deliberate short pumps over long jerks to save energy avoid breakage. Jump and shout all you want, I really don't get people who watch the video and complain. Great video and thanks for sharing, looking forward to your 2013 trip ;)
Obviously you have never experienced this in any shape or form.................the rush is intense and the fight is a fight.........over 300,000 hits on the video just to see these dudes doing this. Its amazing!!
I have fished in the anderman islands beautiful islands and amazing fishing my biggest GT WAS 60lb and the most powerful fighting fish I have ever caught will go back for another expedition sometime
Excellent video! For those nitpicking on them releasing fish ... that is indeed the proper way of releasing ocean fish. You torpedo them into the water to force water past their gills. It revives them faster so they can swim away. If you gently place them back in the water they will take a bit to revive and will be shark bait.
You have highlighted a perfect example of how hard GT's can fight Bobs pulling as hard as he can and the fish pulls as hard back, if i recall this was only a 10kg fish aswell.
hey guys awesome video, awesome fishing, awesome tackle, just a tip when you're fishing in the salt the further you can get your hands on the fore grip the more power you will have on it and the less strain on your body cause you can just lock your arm strait without high sticking either. Congrats on your catches though!
What an amazing video!! I loved the tasteful music...then it turned metal! Even better! I've never done popping or jigging, but it sure looks exciting! And who ever said that fishing isn't a sport???
Guys I have to tell ya. I love fishing, been fishing all my life but watching you battle like this scares the livin crap out of me (should I ever be in that situation) . I would have to hit the gym for 3 months to prepare for a week of fishing like that. Congratulations on the trip though. Trip of a lifetime I am sure.
Just love it!!, especially seeing the sequence when one of you almost loses the good new saltiga dogfight! some how i feell like i was watching "An idiot abroad", ah-ah..
We went to Andamans first time in 2005...totally lost my heart to GT popping in The Invisible Bank. Still got a Bottom Map of Andamans in my Office :) Best spot fished there in 2009 was Union Ledge… there we landed (C&R) over 40 GT´s in two hours peak bite...i even got 12st in a row :D
It's called setting the hook mate. When you're catching big fish with big hooks, you needs lot of force to set the hooks well. This is why Stuart mentions that they were having trouble loosing fish by keeping hooks. I do a bit of land based shark fishing and to set an 18/0 shark hook in to the jaws of a large shark, we have to put the rod over our shoulder and run up the beach to get enough force for a good hook set.
Hi, I agree with you, but the all of this taring and hard puling, it create a great and exiting screen play + great addvitorial for the strong , tuff Daiwa new gear.
Nice one, i am sure you will have a great time, D & A will put you on some fish. Go to the Gym before hand its hard work bringing those poppers back !. Just make sure the rod you take is stiff enough to set the hooks, our 4lb TC rods we first took we too soft ! If your on fish they hit well, but we seemed to do very well on the Cubara 150 Poppers, the battered one on the video hompage pic.
Don't get me wrong, catching fish like this is so exciting.Ive done my fair share in Florida all be it not on GT's but on tarpon and sharks. But no need to scream, can tell you are excited but just a bit of overreaction. Some quality fishing though, nice one.
When u hook a fish why do you jerk it really hard like 3 or 4 more times? if i'd do that with my rod i'd break it or snap my line..(or damage the fish if using braided line
Great Video Guys!!! and great, that some People understand, that only with catch and release you can catch fish over a Long time, All countrys which didn't understand this, have bad game fishing conditions and no Tourist/industry in game fishing. This brings much more Money for a Country, than eating this catched fishes. The other good fact is, that Permit, bonefish, GT,s are not good for eating. No one has something against it, to take the one or other fish from time to time to be eaten.
I agree i wouldn't do it with a freshwater fish, but for these GT's and Dogtooth blue water fish its broadly recognised as the best way of return these fish it gives them a boost and they all swam off strongly.
Your not wrong we did think of going the gym, what the film doesn't show is throwing heavy lures around for a couple of hours then getting a hookup with a powerful GT.
Thanks for comments & good advice, its only our second trip blue water fishing so we are not experts, one think i know is these blue water fish are in a differen't league on the fighting front when compared to fresh water fish which is where we mainly fish. I should have a header saying "Only comment if you have hooked one" :)
I agree it looks brutal, but these fish are brutes and you have to try and set the hook ,they have very hard mouths and the hooks used a very strong. No fish were damaged, often they spat the big poppers out like they were a toy, and often bite them in half !
Hi the line we used for popping was 80lbs Tuf XP, the reel was the Daiwa Saltiga Dog Fight SA-Z6500HDF, has a capacity of 550 yrds of 50lbs braid. The popping rod is a Daiwa GT86 8ft 6 long Ta Stu
10 years and I still love it!
these old guys grunting and freaking out on the hook set cracks me up.

I'm so envious of all of you catching these beautiful fish.

You have highlighted a perfect example of how hard GT's can fight Bobs pulling as hard as he can and the fish pulls as hard back, if i recall this was only a 10kg fish aswell.

Just love it!!, especially seeing the sequence when one of you almost loses the good new saltiga dogfight! some how i feell like i was watching "An idiot abroad", ah-ah..

Like every time you release a fish in the end,

You guys went fishing to Cinque Islands! That's one of the most beautiful dive spots in the world!

+GALIZAPIKAROBALIZA 04 fin film,men hopplös adrenalin kick ifrån den första......det är bara fiske
You guys r awesome. Much Respect!

I've done this type of fishing in Panama, and Coasta Rica. I never needed to set the hook like these guys do... a little much if you ask me.

Jiger mania is great, greetings from SURYA JAYA CNC Indonesia

Great Video Guys, good work!! Thank you for the entertainment.
Your not wrong we did think of going the gym, what the film doesn't show is throwing heavy lures around for a couple of hours then getting a hookup with a powerful GT.
GO ON BOY PUT YOUR BACK IN TO IT, PULL TUG THE WHOLE LOT COME ON WHAT A FIGHTER GOOD VID
Great Vid guys and great Fish
Thanks for comments & good advice, its only our second trip blue water fishing so we are not experts, one think i know is these blue water fish are in a differen't league on the fighting front when compared to fresh water fish which is where we mainly fish. I should have a header saying "Only comment if you have hooked one" :)
I agree it looks brutal, but these fish are brutes and you have to try and set the hook ,they have very hard mouths and the hooks used a very strong. No fish were damaged, often they spat the big poppers out like they were a toy, and often bite them in half !
Great video, GT's take no prisoners
thank you for sharing. .great fight!
Blue Fin Trevally, stunning fish
Super video!
