Thank you to everyone involved in the making of that video. Allowing us a window to look through and watch a family tradition is unique and should be cherished. Very few times on TH-cam are people able to capture this in a natural way. Just as it played out. Thanks for that.
They say "some things money can't buy"... I understand there was a price attached to your travel, your fishing gear etc etc however, for us viewers at home, the experience you just provided us for free was a perfect representation of some things money can't buy. Thank you to John and his family for sharing a slice of their culture. Thank you Briggsy for your always humbling humour. This was special content guys 👌🏼
Palusami, oka, fe'e and faeai eleni is delicious 😋 I'm a samoan but born in Australia, and samoan food in samoa is on another level! Much better to eat it there then to eat it in Australia because of the umu.
its almost like being there! This is how i would love to spend my time in a newly visited place thats rich in culture, the video is yum you guys, id have it no other way. The editing is perfect for the subject, not much cuts, no unnecessary video/sound effects. Thanks to you guys for this content, this is already a way to preserve precious tradition and culture, cant ask for anything else but more, stay safe.
What a trip, Briggsy! Nice you got to experience a little of that Samoan family life. By the way, octopus EVERYWHERE is chewy due to improper cooking. To get the best results, it's either "low and slow" like they did it or "hot and fast" to get the best results. Same concept as squid/calamari, if you think about it.
Briggsy is the G.O.A.T. and is an amazing steward for fishing/angler culture. I live in North Carolina and discovered his channel when I got into fishing during COVID and it makes me so happy to see him use his platform to honor traditions of indigenous people. I hope to travel to Australia someday and do some proper salt water fishing!
As a Samoan born and raised in New Zealand I was blown away by how much work is involved in Samoan cooking but it is so beautiful and even my little cousins were cooking haha I felt useless lol Love my people love my culture thank you for the upload beautiful video 💙🇼🇸
Briggsy! Malosi! Family! That has got to be the coolest content I ever saw! Not taking anything from fishing films but, so eye-opening to see how it's done and how it has been done for generations! Awesome learning experience! Love it, love it, love it!!! Funny thing is I'm in Hawaii and have never seen traditional cooking like that... too modernized lifestyle I guess. Bigbig THANK YOU for sharing guys!! 🤙👍👊🤙👍👊 ALOHA! FA!
It's not just coming together to eat, it's coming together to prepare a meal with tradition and heart, with and for loved ones. It's time spent together, time caring for and bonding with one another..... it's priceless and beautiful is what it is.
Thank you so much for this video. And thank you to the Samoans who made it all possible. Awesome guys. It felt like I was there too. Man I got soooo hungry when you started eating. 😃
This is amazing. How we used to use all the food on this planet. These traditions are unfortunately far too gone. How most of us don't know how to utilize all the food our planet has to offer is unfortunate. Many thanks for this vid brah 🤙
Nice Footage Briggsy! It’s truly amazing to see how these People prepare their Meal! So much effort and so much respect upon the food! Chapeau! 👍Thanks for the Video!
Yes it’s the men’s job to cook umu outside in the open cook house while we women cook the meats etc in our indoor modern kitchens. Back in the day all type of cooking took place outside. What these boys cooked (umu) is every Sunday day for every single family. After church everyone gathers around for a family feast, nap before going to afternoon church again 😊
Yo I’m from American Samoa same culture as Western Samoa….umu time is the boys get together and have fun doing it good time catch up on stuff all brotherhood love and laughters bro them good old days back home 😂❤🇦🇸🇼🇸
In summer 2017 I took a two month vacation to American Samoa stayed at a friend's family village of Amaluia on the main island of Tutehuila with two brothers Misipele and Setefano live in the village. The dish made from taro leaves is "palusami." About 7 leaves stacked together to form a cup and filled with mix of fresh coconut cream, sliced onions and salt. The whole package is wrapped into a banana leaf then a breadfruit leaf and baked one hour in the "umu". The leaves to pick are the middle young leaf (moi) of each taro plant. I miss my experience sooo much!
Brother that was such a humbling fascinating video and you 💯 did it justice with no bullshit i loved that. Si good to have an insight into another culture and learn how food and family is respected without the big budget. Top job brother.
Excellent video .. great to see you enjoying the Pacifica culture. So many go to the islands and just do charter fishing but have no idea what happens metres away from the resort. Top work.
Who needs kitchen mitts anyway 😅 well done Lads !! Mum always said "you aint a man till you learn to cook a umu" but i think mum just wanted me to make lunch 😅😅😅😅 great content !
Malo lava seki a le video a boys🤙Great job!! Most welcome to our island and experience the lifestyle samoa in old days🌺always love to eat and got the best taste with food wrap with banana leaves& coconut leaves..as samoan traditionally wrappers back in a days.
the attention to detail preparing the food was amazing .and knowing that John started to learn at 8 years old .we have lost so many traditions in the uk its a shame.
Mother nature always provides. Well done uso. Palusami always gets them. And its only coconut milk/ cream and Kalo leaves with some salt lol. Simple combination but so dam tasty
Hi Mate, I would have been keen but am in an exclusive deal with Malosi now. Definitely hit up other TH-camrs and influencers, there’s a fair few out there these days and it’s a great way to get your lures exposure 👍
The usos did a seki job showing you the Fa’ a Samoa ways. Nice to see you embrace it

Awesome Briggsy. I love a good Sunday lunch and that looked amazing. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for sharing the Samoan culture. I find it fascinating how the food was prepared.
❤ this is how we cook almost everyday I’m glad you got to experience this
Amazing to watch, using an old can to scrape/peel the taro, very eye opening to see a glimpse of this wonderful culture
How patient were those guys with you. Great vid and an awesome chance to share in thier culture.

It's so cool how they wrap the fish.
Malo Uso. Genuinely enjoyed this. Laughing at how much fun you guys were having. 🇼🇸
Man if malosi could put together a tour like this id actually pay for me and the wife to go wow
It's not just coming together to eat, it's coming together to prepare a meal with tradition and heart, with and for loved ones. It's time spent together, time caring for and bonding with one another..... it's priceless and beautiful is what it is.
That’s a really good explanation Mate

What a great experience. I want to hang with some Samoan peeps.
This was so cool to watch! Thank you for sharing. Psycho of you to grab glowing hot taro off the rocks like that 😂
Beautiful guys - makes me hungry everytime i watch the umu, Luau and Talo
Reckon that was the best thing you've ever recorded mate...not taking away from your other adventures, but that was something special 👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it Mate, gotta give credit to John for the camera work though, he was behind the lens 90% of the time 🤙
This is amazing. How we used to use all the food on this planet. These traditions are unfortunately far too gone. How most of us don't know how to utilize all the food our planet has to offer is unfortunate. Many thanks for this vid brah 🤙
Love it!
Awww wow I am so homesick, the recording of process was beautiful. It reminded me of my childhood with my dad and brothers 💜
Malo! Awesome video. Beautiful family. Thank you for sharing the experience.

Palusami and Kalo are a match made in heaven. Especially the fresh one in Samoa. I’m not surprised by the uso reaction. Best food ever in my opinion.

Excellent video, my facilitate TH-camr, you motivate me and you put me in a new world of your awesome fishing!
“The man is the talk”😂😂
He said that cuz u talking while he’s doing the actual teaching 😂
Briggsy. How would I get hold of you Re some lures you may want to try out. Thanks
Hi Mate, I would have been keen but am in an exclusive deal with Malosi now. Definitely hit up other TH-camrs and influencers, there’s a fair few out there these days and it’s a great way to get your lures exposure 👍
Next time you have palusami, put some corn beef in with it. so good
❤😊😊Thank you for posting this video.
That was interesting briggsy, would be cool if you tried to redo some of that back home with your family and film it mate 😎🤙
My wrists wouldn’t last two minutes hitting coconuts like that with the knife. That’s some skill right there!
👏👏👏great job guys👌i enjoy your vid..🍻cheers
Please come to south Africa
Looks yum asf. Wish i had Samoan bros in NZ thatll kindly show me the ways and experience this 😂 chur
Everything treated with show much care and respect
Why are coco nuts so expensive in Australia ? Are they like hard to find or something ?
Everything is pretty expensive over here! A fresh coconut in Aus is about $10 Samoan which is $5 Australian which is about $3.5 USD
what bait did you use for fishing out there?
If I have to go through this pain so I can eat am goood then so respect guys for your patience as for me I don’t would go through all that
great video mate. i’ve been trying to find a little rod like that, where can i find something like that ?
Hi Mate, check the description for a list of gear 👆there’s a link to the rod model 🤙
Awesome! That's something completely different to the usual content...only downside...I couldn't get a bite too 😁
Beautiful which country is this
Samoa
His reactions were everything hahaha
Good can't see any flies, nice and clean your preparation
those dudes are strong strong. holy shit.
Born and raised in hawaii and always loved doing these traditional practices too bad its not so easily accessible 😢
love this. earned yourself the honorary uso status lol
Beautiful n I used to scrape the coconut like that!! 😂but do me a favor give the doggie something please 🙏🙏🙏🥰
Yeah the briggsy 🫡💯😂
Woow my god I Wich I am staying near water like this.i like fishing nice content I did subscribe
Did you bless the food before eating. I think you’re missing that in your video.
Hi Mate, yeah there was a long blessing before we started eating but I kept it out of the film out of respect for their families privacy 👍
@ why would it be a disrespect? Anyways, that would be great tho
Malo a le au uso 😍🇼🇸❤️❤️❤️❤️
What kilo Td zero rod do you use?
