Sammy a lot of game fishermen don’t realise how delicate the sail on a sailfish is they tear very easily, and they use the sail to help to manoeuvre when hunting. As you have a vast amount of people following your channel could you mention that so people re aware of it. Thanks Sammy, and by the way well done succeeding in your personal challenge that was not an easy thing to do👍🤘
Great video Sam, one of your best. I often read in the comments of people referring to you as a 'legend' , and having known you just a few years before you could fish, I'd have to say that it sits a little uneasy with me. Definitely something that family members don't usually call each other..... but,........in trying to find descriptors for what you just achieved, I had to go beyond being extremely proud and happy for you and offering my sincere congratulations. What you pulled off, in my eyes, is legendary. Not just the wonderful fish, all solo in one year, but the behind the scenes persistence, focus and effort that only your family sees. Of that I'm proud, and know how deserving of this milestone you are. I tip my hat to you mate, and want to say that it's generally impressive people that do impressive things! Thanks for taking us all along for the ride.
Bloody given me goosebumps! Very well said, heartfelt statement of facts. 😭👏 You sir, have every right to be the PROUDEST dad... Sammy is a legend, zero doubt. Congratulations to both of you. I love that you're here every week, backing him in the comments - fine men come from good families! Looking forward to your next cameo appearance. Cheers to a legendary Dad! 🍻
Hey Sammy, I really enjoy your videos. They are really good and I love them. I am a kid that lives along the Gold Coast, who has fishing dreams to one-day catch fish like you do mate. I actually have a UA-cam channel of my own. It known as Tigerpit Adventures. I also did the flathead classic! I placed in the top 5 for the juniors with over 800 points. I would love to some day meet you and grow my UA-cam channel to some day be as good of a fisherman as you are! You are my idol and I would some day love to meet you in person. Also we just sold our Tabs Territory Pro 4800 to get a Evolution 500 axis. This will allow us to do the offshore fishing like you! Thanks for all the fishing tips you have taught me over the years. I have been watching your videos for over 8 years, and haven't stopped! Thanks for all the good videos and I love watching them!
Congratulations! Solo offshore is my favourite- so many decisions to make once hooked up. Turn, bring in other lines, reel, accelerate, slow down- many times all during the fight!
@@SammyHitzkeFishing dont thank me mate keep up the good content aha safe to say yours and whyteys flatty vids have taught me a lot I know it’s no great deal but went from catchin nothing to getting 15fish in the boat in a session . What’s the next adventure entail ? Can’t wait !
@sammy hitzke you bloody legend.. so stoked for ya mate, long time coming and you did it. Me and the missus watch your nearly 12 month journey of catching the bloody rippers... you did it. However you did not do it solo my friend, we all were with you. Enjoy your beer like we all do 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼 till your next episode pal
Absolutely epic challenge man, solo is a WHOLE different story. Props to you. Had to come back for an end of video edit lol, that was a gorgeous sail! Solid solid fish, definitely in that 30- 40 kilo mark. Congrats man!
Excellent video's as always Sammy, well done and on your own to top it all. Dangerous on the sea on your own though anything can happen and you stuffed. My skipper died of a heart attack on the boat, fortunately I was there to take the boat home.
Congratulations Sammy, awesome. Was fun to watch good stuff filming driving realing in the lines that was epic. that was a big sailfish too... hope you cam keep up the great videos
“We did it” Nah, YOU did it. Congratulations champion, well deserved reward for effort. A big sailfish, well above average. I’ve decided to rig my baits badly in the future, live and learn. My fave quote from the episode was “Yeh, bugger”. What a wordsmith. Congrats again legend.
👌😂😂 I have been thinking I would get into poetry! But seriously I probably wouldn’t have done it without everyone following up with me about it and getting me pumped to give it a proper go! So team effort I reckon! 🍻
Good on ya Sammy lad.. Great personal achievement and a fantastic watch! AND...... if your gunna need a new wall for the trophys anyway, then surely the jewel in the crown of the Big 4 challenge and your first sailfish would look great pride of place on it!? And she was a ripper!
I enjoy your videos. I am now at an age where I no longer wish to catchfish larger than I. For 18 years, I tried to catch everything in the Sea of Cortez in Mexico and pretty much did. Fishing there is much like I see on your videos. Exceptions were: broadbill swordfish and Black marlin. Both those are not in great abundance there. I caught dozens of striped marlin and Several 'Blues' as well as dozens of yellowfin tuna plus a few Wahoo and sail fish. My boat was a 19 foot center console open panga. And dozens of Mahi Mahi up to 70 pounds. I'm a bit of a 'Foodie', too. My favorites for food are Wahoo, Yellowfin Tuna and all kinds of Reef fish. One day, I took and friend out and he hooked a blue marlin, jigging. Be well and keep your line in the water.
Well Done Sammy, what an absolutely great achievement. Not too many fisho's can say they have done what you have just done. (not even those Game Fisho's) Not sure what you are going to do to set the bar higher than this Mate, but, as always I'm sure it will be a bottler. Congrats.
another great ride along, thanks Sammy, much appreciated. Fishing is pretty well done up for the winter here in northern US, just get to watch you boys for a few months and wait for warmer waters. Cheers!!
@@SammyHitzkeFishing Yeah, I know. They've been dogging me since I drew one of their shitbirds out for an hour pretending I was falling for it. They apparently have a functional memory and don't like their time wasted. So, I get all sorts of crap in my feed and messages. ClicknFlick is my friend. Have a great Chrissie mate, best to the family and thanks heaps for the content.
Sammy been following you for ages and I must say u always have awesome videos, congrats on ticking all the boxes on those 4 amazing fish and all on your own. BRAVO MATE cant wait for the next video champ 🤘🤘
Good onya Sammy! Great to finally tick that box Been such a hard year for me, weather has been shit and the few times I've managed to get out haven't been blinders, still yet to have a really good session in my new boat. I'm so glad to see someone hit a fishing goal though, gives me hope this summer I might get my first Dolly and Marlin Thanks for keeping us all interested through this crap weather we've had, especially here in Coffs, the sea has just been rubbish almost all year....
Awesome!!!! Congratulations Sammy. I never miss an episode, if you ever find yourself in the states and want to fish the Gulf of Mexico we would really like to fish a few days with you. Orange beach Alabama. Cheers mate.
New Shirt to be made. You can call it the Morton Grand Marlin Slam. Plus just a thought you should look at next year coming out with a Christmas line of clothing for the Sammy Hitzke Fishing line I would buy some. Well done matey.
Yessss that's awesome Sammy! Congrats mate, well done on the challenge. I'm gonna be honest, I had no idea how you were going to get the sailfish, they don't show up often hahaha! 😂🤣
Congrats to your achievement Sammy. Being from Germany, I only can dream to capture one of these amazing Billfishes someday. Love watching your content, keep it up mate.
Awesome video, I find it really interesting that sails are more elusive than Marlins for you and where I live in Florida it is the reverse I have caught a bunch of sails and have never even seen a marlin
In the videos i have watched i see you use the Tiagra, Talica and the Tyrnos. Is there a big difference between the Tiagra and the Tyrnos? Looking for Big Yollowfin setups and at the moment just not sure the difference in price is worth it for a Tiagra
Congratulations on completing your solo challenge Sammy!!!!!! And bugga what the experts may say about how you rig your baits. If it works, use it. Richard Down Unda
Hope you enjoyed the video legends! What should my next challenge be?!?
Maybe some kind of flats slam. Fly gear?
3 mackerel on 3 different techniques on same day. Or spottie, schoolie and spanish.
Doggie now that’s a challenge lol
Find a swordfish..
Jig a flamey , ruby(?) and a blue eye on the same trip :P

Top solo effort there Sammy, well done.

A little late to the party but I have to say Congratulations!!!! You're an absolute legend!!!
Brilliant mate, that is definitely an amazing effort and what a score.
Still missing that short billed spearfish Sammy😜 congratulations on completing your quest.
Beat me to it
Unfortunately they are so rare here that they pretty much can’t be targeted. We don’t even see 1 a season caught amongst the whole game fishing fleet!
Awesome video, I find it really interesting that sails are more elusive than Marlins for you and where I live in Florida it is the reverse I have caught a bunch of sails and have never even seen a marlin
In the videos i have watched i see you use the Tiagra, Talica and the Tyrnos. Is there a big difference between the Tiagra and the Tyrnos? Looking for Big Yollowfin setups and at the moment just not sure the difference in price is worth it for a Tiagra
