@@epicgamer785 both mangrove jack and barramundi breed in saltwater after spending their juvenile years (generally 2-4yrs) in fresh water. Highly likely all those barramundi were males even the larger ones over 70cm. I’d suggest this would be the last year they would spend in the fresh before returning to the saltwater and converting to females. The difference of a couple of centimetres has zero effect on the population when taken from freshwater.
Barra are the least of my concerns, they have a population doubling time of around 4-5 years.. I know my research, and if I was to impose a slot limit it would be a multi one for Barra. What's the sense in potentially taking every fish (netting) just as they come into breeding age (at 75-80cm).
Andy, from the bottom of my heart mate. Welcome back to youtube. I've missed your videos all year, and I honestly didn't touch a rod all summer here in the states. But seeing you back, healthy and catching some amazing fish, and doing your thing out in the wilderness brings joy to my heart. Hope all is well and God Bless. -Everett
Cheers Everett, I feel you may have not seen my previous video from last month, it was a pretty good one too. You honour me, and I hope you get out for a fish soon.
@@Andysfishing Oh, of course I didn't miss it Andy! I haven't missed a video since I started watching your channel. We've got good fishing in the US but I'd love to come down to AU and do a charter and camp for a few days. Stay safe!
One of the best fishing sessions you've ever had! I would love to see another tackle club challenge in an estuary, those are always entertaining videos!
I've stopped getting the tackle club boxes, I hear you and might design my own challenge. Good call. Also understand me, the boxes are cool and fun to buy and use.
@@Andysfishing Hi Andy, yes, I saw it,... it's just that you used to post a bit more regularly in the past. It's not fair on you that your subscribers expect posts from you as though you actually "owe it to them" in some way, it's just that your videos are soooo good. But it's your life and your business, and we all do very much appreciate your sharing it with us, whenever you can. I hope your lifes' ups and downs have calmed down now and you can live your life as YOU want to. I came very close to removing you from my subscibers list a week or so ago when I was tidying it up... thankfully, I kept the faith that you would come back soon... and you did! Many thanks... and as you can see, from all the appreciative comments, many, many people in this world love your videos too. Good luck and good health, going into the future.
I found your comment. And I appreciate the openness and honesty. I know I lose some people from time to time. But as you say, life needs to be lived. I had little balance when I was making 2 videos a week, even one per week at this quality is a very long week with no breaks. I’m glad you hung in there.
Welcome back! I agree this might be the best jungle adventure you had. Most of the times you only get 1 legal fish or none at all. So getting so many on one vid is amazing! 😅 The most interesting episode would be when that croc was right at camp and the homemade shelter
Been watching for quite awhile and this is the best fishing I recall. Amazing! Way too many biting things to go with the crocs. Never see me out there! I prefer you in a boat cooking up something fancy but this was awesome!
Andy it's great to see you again! Your videos always put a smile on my face. I've been following along since around 2019. Can we get another flying island hopping adventure!? Pretty please lol. Some of the best views in the world! Take care 💖✌️😃
What a trip! The jungle perch was great, that species is on my bucket list. Would love to see the smoker come out again soon. Love a good smoked eel video! 😁
Thanks, Andy. Fantastic mate. We really enjoyed this. You are internationally famous. Enjoyed on a group call by Han-Byeoul in Korea and Noa in Japan🎉 and me in Australia. We always watch your vids and enjoy the cooking segments so much too Agreed!! Best ever!!!
Andy, this was brilliant! And you must be psychic! I was out enjoying my own fishing today, and thought to myself ‘ Andy hasn’t done a jungle adventure for ages’ and here you are. That jungle perch was a cracker, very well done, was with you all the way there 😉 Much respect from the uk 🇬🇧 👍🏼😎🐟🐟🐟🐟
Hi mate. Been watching your videos for many years and yes this is the best jungle episode! All that effort getting into there really paid off thankyou for sharing it with us!! 🎣
Hi Andy, Been following your adventures since I was a kid in the kayak-saratoga days and this video gave me immeasurable, pleasant nostalgia and the jitters to wet a lure again hahaha. Amazing stuff! Tight lines, Andrew
Man I've missed your videos!! Glad to see another one, I LOVE the longer videos you put out! I also love you when do your jungle hikes/explore. This was some great fishing! Keep up the good work! Would love to see some squid or prawn dishes next, some of my favorite previous videos of yours : )
I've been reading the comments and i cant add anything new, but i wil agree with a common thought that this is the best session I've seen you have on one of these trips and its great to have you back Andy. Cheers
@@Andysfishing Of course i did, i dont ever miss your vids..is just im always excitced and happy when your able to post a new one..thanks for responding andy really means a lot all the blessings from the carribean we luv you man ...wooo whooo💯💪👍
The first video I watched of yours you were mud crabbing with the mud crab hook, and I was instantly addicted. You foraging for mud crabs was absolutely my favorite all time videos from you. Thank you for letting me live my dreams through your eyes.
Good Stuff Andy!! Good to hear you giggling again! I love the Jungle fishing but a flats shore forage is fun also. That early morning footage with jungle the reflection on the water was exceptional. Thanks for sharing!
it's kind of nostalgic to see one of these vids in my feed, big barra big jack and trophy JP i reckon your right this is the most successful jungle episode
I live in Florida and I love to camp and hike, so these are always fun videos for me to watch. Often, the jungle hikes will be ones that I re-watch lol. If I was to pick the kind of video I would like to see next, I would say that I miss the flying episodes. I thought flying to the perfect camping or fishing spot seemed so cool. I also really like the multi-day fishing trips where you explore the islands you visit. Great video, and always appreciate the time you take to make them.
Thank you for making my jungle request video come to life!! That was the best with respect to catching massive fish, fish cook up, and nature/underwater footage you’ve done so far!! Thank you again!
It’s so good to see you back in the jungle Andy. Remember watching these 10+ years ago… back with floppy fibreglass rods and white plastics rigged weedless. Bring back the banana rod too!
I really enjoyed this video. I haven't seen anything from you in quite a while. The combination of fishing plus the flora and fauna you show is great. Nicely done!
It is my firm belief that the harder it is to get into a fishing spot, the better the fishing is. At least that's been my experience in the USA. Seeing this confirms that principal works more universally.
Maybe do some study on fish biology before you promote your ill advised fishery thoughts. Seriously?
Hes right tho. The big are the ones that breed.

Love these videos, Andy. Very happy to see you uploading again.
I knew it
Glad you are digging them
Hello Stimpee
These jungle trips you do are always my favourite
They are special to me too.
No more vacations for you mate! Your catch/cook episodes make my week : )
Ha ha
You're the best Andy😌 I really like your survival videos on land and the beaches. Please make more videos of you in the bush😍♥️
Cheers mate, more bush adventures coming soon.
One of the best fishing sessions you've ever had! I would love to see another tackle club challenge in an estuary, those are always entertaining videos!
I've stopped getting the tackle club boxes, I hear you and might design my own challenge. Good call. Also understand me, the boxes are cool and fun to buy and use.
@@Andysfishing that would be great
Welcome back 😀
Thank you so much Wyntar, you just keep supporting me. You're a true legend.
Thank u sir,all I can say is this is a banger 💯% waiting for this!..👊🏿🇯🇲big up Andy!
Glad you enjoyed it
love the jungle overnight trips!
Cheers Kane, glad you liked it.
Thank God, Andy... you're back! Hope all is well in your world, mine is certainly better now that you're posting again.🐟🐟🐟🦀🦀🦀🦐🦐🦐

While watching this episode I realized how much I missed your content Andy. Vielen Dank!

Yes, I worry about what you say, both the lack of legal fish and the crocs, lucky this time.
Been watching for quite awhile and this is the best fishing I recall. Amazing! Way too many biting things to go with the crocs. Never see me out there! I prefer you in a boat cooking up something fancy but this was awesome!
That might be the next video
These walk into the rainforest overnight trips are your best movies by far mate.
Cheers, I hear you! I have a few more jungle trips planned for the near future
Great video Andy. The fishing was obviously very exciting on this trip. It's the first time I've seen a jungle perch in your videos. 💯
Thank you. I'm not surprised, they are not very common in my area.
Andy it's great to see you again! Your videos always put a smile on my face. I've been following along since around 2019. Can we get another flying island hopping adventure!? Pretty please lol. Some of the best views in the world! Take care 💖✌️😃
I hope I can do a flying over water video one day
What a trip! The jungle perch was great, that species is on my bucket list. Would love to see the smoker come out again soon. Love a good smoked eel video! 😁
Definitely agree, bring back the smoker. Iv tried to catch eels at night but only come up with catfish. Maybe it’s just the areas i fish in?
Yes, I need to smoke something again
Possibly, but if you have one, you should have the other
Thank you andy all the way from south afrika i realy watch you vids every night till i go to sleep
That's awesome to hear!
Thanks, Andy. Fantastic mate. We really enjoyed this. You are internationally famous.
Enjoyed on a group call by Han-Byeoul in Korea and Noa in Japan🎉 and me in Australia.
We always watch your vids and enjoy the cooking segments so much too
Agreed!! Best ever!!!
That's cool you guys get together like that. More of the word should be that way.
Best Episode Yet. Well done Bro.
Thanks for saying
Andy, this was brilliant! And you must be psychic! I was out enjoying my own fishing today, and thought to myself ‘ Andy hasn’t done a jungle adventure for ages’ and here you are. That jungle perch was a cracker, very well done, was with you all the way there 😉

Thank you, I miss the time I had in the UK, I think something different is a great thing.
Wot no cod, codman! Good video...thanks
Ha ha
Nice video Andy I would like to see you upload videos more often, my favourite is catch and cook on an island
I hear you
Hi mate. Been watching your videos for many years and yes this is the best jungle episode! All that effort getting into there really paid off thankyou for sharing it with us!! 🎣
I'm glad you enjoyed it, I appreciate you watching all these years!
Big boat + small boat, shrimp, squid and crab fishing❤
Much love from Montana, glad you're back 🥳
I hear you about the shrimp, squid and crab!
I love the jungle fish/camp/cooks and this is definetly one of the best! Glad you are back buddy and you knocked it out of the park with this one!
I hope you saw my previous video from last month.
@Andysfishing buddy I watch ALL of your videos! 🤣

I'm glad I could save your Sunday. 😉

I'm glad you agree, and yes, it was too long between walks

Good call
That was amazing fishing in a beautiful environment! I am not picky about what videos you do just love them all!
Sweet
Only way for a Saturday to get better is to have a new video from Andy! Glad to see it!
Hope you enjoyed the catch n cook!
@Andysfishing always do! One of the best fishing channels on youtube !
I would love to see an island, fishing, camping adventure! Plus, I never get tired of seeing the mangrove fishing videos!
Yeah, I've been thinking about doing an island trip soon.
Keep up the good work, jungle trips are just as good your ultralight flights.
I hear you, flying again soon
This video had my heart thumping with the non-stop action.
Sweet, took a while to find the spot, but it was worth the effort.
Good to see an AF video!
Glad you liked it!
Glad to see you back in You Tube. Missed your video’s. Thanks Andy

Love this style of fishing Andy , it just goes to show you don’t need a lot of gear to enjoy good fishing . Minimalist enjoyment . Great work mate
