Congrats on the awesome content mate! High quality, well edited! You should do an updated tackle comparison, specially the difference between all your different conquests!! Keep up the good work
Hi Mick, i think we were on the same flight from pom to Hoskins. We were returning from charters towers heading over to Bialla. Good to see you enjoying the catch
Just looking at the black bass you can see the strength in the jaws and decent set of fangs. The only thing meaner looking is the Goliath tiger fish of Africa. Beautiful rivers and islands in PNG. You got your coral trout and spectacular at that.🤠🎣🐟👌
That fish just looks like a Cubera Snapper. You wanna see the scariest looking specimen, check out the Wolf Fish. These things are the most ruthless fish in New England and are pure nightmare fuel.
Awesome trip.. whats up from the USA. Those black bass look alot like our mangrove snapper. And you guys also have mangrove jacks as well . What is the difference and how big do they get there?... Cheers..
Hi Mick! Saeed here from Port moresby. We have a small tackle store in vision city (the mall that is connected to Stanley hotel) I have tv running in the tackle store and wanted to ask if it's OK with you for us to play your videos on it. Look forward to hearing from you!
Unfortunately it’s the game you gotta play on TH-cam mate, if you were making videos you’d know what it’s like… if you want any reward for your effort in filming and editing then you need to make titles and thumbs to entice viewers and stand out otherwise your video doesn’t get the reach and it falls victim to the algorithm 🤷🏼♂️🙃
@@aohl6541 that’s my dad and his mate, neither of which have done much of this type of fishing whatsoever and are looking to me for advise, most of the time I talk in this they were asking me something 🤷🏼♂️

Yeah I should but I’m under the pump lately, got a few videos to edit when I get time but I’ll definitely keep it in mind!

Yup yup, been on my bucket list since Dean Butler wrote about this fish back in the early 90’s…back then, it wasn’t even a safe place to go
Finally!!after waiting for ages..sick trip!!!
Hahaha part 2 this Thursday ✌🏻
Ole hank good to see him having a good time he’s a local blocky legend of a bloke making the best of his retirement
Yeah I’ve known Hank since I was a kid, my old man used to be on the bricky gang with him back in the 90s

Oh man they’re brutes!! Proper Jurassic park spec fish and they make mince meat of your lures!!

Noice one 🤙🏻 good little start to the trip, hope the waters clear up for y’all keen as to see some Top Water explosions 👌🏻
Booked later in the season for next year so you’ll have to wait for that 🙃😂
@@Micksgonefishing ahh righty captain very noice 🤙🏻
Good one mate, damn bullies haha, great vid 💪🏼
Thanks mate!!!

Everything gets bigger in PNG, masses of bait, deep clean water and less pressure I guess. Black bass will pull mangrove jacks backwards!

Go for gold mate! Anytime 👌🏻
Lefty Kreh said he regarded the Nui Guinea Black Bass to be pound for pound the hardest pulling fish anywhere in the world!
They definitely are, it needs to be experienced to understand how brutal these are!
Back to the lodge for a few SP's?
You guessed it 😂
Nice one Mick
Thanks mate!!
Jeezuz, u look like u needed that coffee Mick 😮
Oh man there were many SP lagers consumed this week 😂
Hey Mick, trying to organise a bass trip up into the rivers of PNG . Do you have a website? Where's Baia ?
I don’t have a website but I do try to organize a group each year up there, if you’re keen to join hit me up on insta or Facebook 👌🏻
Living the dream 💯
Absolutely 💯
I like your lure mate
Thanks 👍 me too 😅👌🏻
Nice, how much was the whole trip costs? Did you have to book in a group, or is being solo allowed?
No change from 10k but it’s worth it!! Can book solo but I find taking a group of like minded people is best!
@@Micksgonefishing Thanks for getting back to me. $10K is per angler or for the entire trip as a whole?
Hell yeah I've always wanted to do this some day.
It’s an awesome experience!!
What reels were you guys using?
Conquests
Unreel ! Gotta love the png boys.
Such good people up there!!
How does the outboard not spook the fish?
Not over there, they often come out to see what the noise is…
YES BRO!!!! 🍿
Fuck yeah
Been waiting for this series mate
New one tomorrow, hope you’re enjoying them ✌🏻
@10:25 that's what she said 🎉

Combat beast
Imagine a Polish barbel but in a catfish size 💀💀💀💀💀

Golden baitcasting reel name

First 🍻

👌🏻👌🏻✌🏻
Want a real battle…blue/ black marlin !
Fought a marlin for an hour and lost it, I was heartbroken 🤪
Not a big fan of the click bait title Mick, I do like your videos but dislike the click bait.

They are definitely the worlds strongest fish too so it’s not that clickbaity 😅😂🤷🏼♂️
Just let your mates fish instead of micromanaging their every movement 🫤
