I’ve shot 4 over 31kg so far. The first one I ever landed was 29.2kg with a sea hornet from the surface. Thanks for watching glad you enjoyed it!
Hi @jamessakker2117, I saw a manta the other day in shallow water just north of Anna Bay as I was snorkeling. Water was super murky, especially above the seaweed.
Hi Farouk coming into the great cobia and Jew time down there hang in and shoot a monster!! Thanks for watching mate
Great fish James!
Thanks Mate glad you enjoyed it!
Epic video. Courageous stuff diving that murk for proper beasts. Especially appreciate the pointers on hunting tactics and safety, etc.cheers
Thanks James glad you enjoyed it and got some good tips
Cracking fish James !
Its a bug you just cant shake, even after all these years . Majestic fish 😊
Absolutely I love Jew season especially when the big ones are around. Now it’s mackerel fever….
That’s Epic James!!! Loved that!!!! Dream fish!!!
Thanks Tim I was really stoked and I know you appreciate what it’s like to dive that terrible vis for trophy fish. Looking forward to seeing your solo dive. Is it out tomorrow?
@@jamessakker2117 yes indeed, tough work in that vis!!
I love what you do with your sight lines, it’s epic!!
The solo trip drops next Saturday
Thanks mate I really appreciate that!! Can’t wait for the episode
Brilliant hunt captured. Congratulations on the +30 Jew. That’s a real one.
Yeah it’s been a fair while since I got one over 30 kg
Great stuff James!
Thanks Craig glad you enjoyed it!!
They're getting bigger. Monster!!
Yeah best season for big fish for a long time
The Jewfish master strikes again! Such awesome looking fish. Always enjoyable watching you take these monsters.
Hopefully those guard-fish don't cotton on that that shadow up against the bommy is, indeed, an immediate threat.
Thanks mate glad you enjoyed it!! The guard fish go it looks like a spearo except heaps fatter….surely we’re ok?
@@jamessakker2117 Then he thinks, "Wait, no! That means he eats well!" Followed by the shwoonk sound of a spear.
@@CameronSmithDiving very funny Jew thinks imagine if I was covered in crumbs we’d all be dead!!
For anyone interested many years ago I thought I had my first 30kg Jew with a really long but skinny fish when I went upstairs to get the scales Homer and Dodgy slipped a 2.5 kg dive weight down its throat. I weighed the fish which cracked the 30kg mark and I was stoked until Homer suggested I check its guts….so I had a 27.5 kg fish BASTARDS!!!!!
Very funny though
Haha hilarious! That's what mates are for!
@@fishhunter348absolutely!!
Hey mate, ive heard you talk a lot about moon phases while looking for fish. What moon phase are you looking for?
The Jew spawn in the lead up to the dark moon and full moon this gives you a chance to find fish resting up in gutters/caves during the day. It’s not that I don’t look for them at other moon phases it’s just that you have a better chance in my opinion
Great footage as always sakka
Thanks mate much appreciated!!
Awesome fish James👏👏
Thanks mate!!
Happy Aussie Day mate, they were absolute stonkers. Well done, love it! Dive safe, have fun! 😁👍🍻🐟
Same to you mate glad you enjoyed it-went for a dive today and got blown away by the current missed my jew spot by 8 metres!!and had to walk back over a kilometre up the beach because we couldn't swim into it
Hi James, love your content, very new to spearfishing. Was out yesterday, saw a Manta Ray about 1.2m wide about 3m underneath me. Visibility was very poor, especially over any weed?
Always good to see manta rays good chance for a cobia. Glad you enjoyed it and good luck on your spearing
Great fish Mr. James!! I cant wait to get down there one day and go on a hunt! Definitely on my bucket list!
Thanks mate they are very exciting to hunt and lots of other great fish to chase. Glad you enjoyed it!!
Did you check the big puppy for dive weights down the throat???? Hahaha. Great fish James. Stopped for a look earlier this week on my way home. Water was green alright.
Hey Homer luckily I didn’t have any “mates” around to load my fish up!! Yeah stoked to get it and stone it. The water is really dirty the GoPro makes it look a lot cleaner than it is. Today is atrocious vis after 24 hours of howling nor’easter. Great to hear from you mate!!
Epic!!! You mentioned its now towards the end of the Jew season. Where do you think the Jewies go?
Up the rivers and out on the deeper reefs. It’s been a late season so hopefully pick up another one in February
Nice fish mate! I enjoyed listening. Aussie
Thanks mate glad you enjoyed it! Just shot two big black spots shore diving in Bowen
Fish of a lifetime James! How many of those have you speared over the years?
Man what a fish! Love your vids and all the info mate. What setup you using on these fish? 7.5mm shaft 16mm rubbers? And gun length? Curious to know. Thanks mate!
I use a 2 metre long 7mm double notch shaft twin 16mm rubbers. 500lb jinkai shooting line 6 mm poly rope float line black to the old ronstan float
@@jamessakker2117 wow 2 metre shaft, so you're running a 1.5m gun? Good effort in that vis! Plenty of range and punch!
i was on the beach when u caught it, nice catch!!
Thanks very much! I was very happy
Epic stuff! Was just curios if you got the length on those fish? Would be interested to know how long they went.
Thanks mate glad you enjoyed it! Yeah the 32 kg was 156cm and I think the 28 kg was 144cm. I take the otoliths out and get the fish aged by NSW fisheries. I’ve had about 100 fish aged so far. I reckon the 32 kg will be pretty old and the 28kg pretty young. There is a huge variation in age on these fish
@@jamessakker2117thanks for the info! Always interested to know the lengths of fish at that size. Find it quite hard to estimate the size of fish I haven’t weighed with there being such a variation in there dimensions.
That is awesome footage 👌🏽
Thanks mate glad you enjoyed it
rippa video Jimbo
Thanks mate glad you enjoyed it!!
Where would u suggest trying for jew SWR and further north mate
Yeah I reckon that’s the go but plenty between port Stephens and SWR too
Yew still got it legend!
Thanks Mate Glad you enjoyed it!!
Hey James,
What's the best way to get in contact with you?
Leave your email or phone on here I don’t have any other social media regards James
Its only a matter of time till they treat these fish like the blue groper and spearing will be banned.
Yeah we have gone down in limit over the years. If they address the real threats of estuary trawling and meshing the river mouths we would have heaps more Jew
