    When the water partially covers the mic after hitting the waves and causes one side of your headphones to be muffled. Feels like getting water stuck in your ear.
    Next level immersion.

    You the man, no flashy bogan here...just great honest fishing not full of product placements. Love your Vietnamese influence? Love how you cook your fish(not in boring wraps). Im off my feet after having surgery today for months....now you are back and thank the heavens fr that

    I know exactly how a dislocated shoulder feels. Mine did so often through my childhood and when i was 20 i finally got surgery to correct the problem a couple screws and was good as new till about 8 years ago i tripped in my neighbors yard.. Fortunately the paramedic was able to reset it for me.
    Best of luck w your shoulder. You may want to see an orthopedic surgeon. Thank you for all wonderful videos. I so enjoy the adventure!🐠🐚🌞🌊

    Havnt watched a vid from you in a few weeks. You know how life can push you in different directions. Fell asleep in front of the TV and the phone rang and this vid was the one that was showing. Really nice to see you out and about again. I love the way you show respect for everything you touch. Good luck with the shoulder.

  • @monte6054

    I was nervous (and I'm sure you were too) when you were heading into the surf. No matter how small it looks, it can find a way to wreck your day. Got nervous again when you had the fish one. Did not want you to lose it for your sake and the sake of your family (which includes us of course). Glad to have you back on the yak!

    Great work mate! Your videos got me into fishing from paddlecraft. My mate gave me a kayak and suggested I watch your videos. It’s completely changed my life. I resonate heavily with your opening statement of how something just changes.
    Thanks for the great content and the inspiration.

    In 2008 I dislocated my left shoulder, I admit I didn't follow the consultants advice as it felt fine after a few weeks. Now my shoulder locks up randomly, numbness, aching etc. Surgery is on the horizon. Just a heads-up, good luck with your recovery and thank you for the excellent videos.

  • @jandregerber7534

    Hi Rod. Your video has given me hope. I got dumped on the beach when landing two weeks ago and dislocated my shoulder like you. I miss my Stealth and the fishing so much. I'm really hoping that with rest and the physio I can be back on the water by the time the kingfish return in Nov. Being patient is going to be the biggest challenge and it's still very much early days. Watching your video gives me something to look forward to

    Nice to see you fishing again. Stay away from hi braces & try to find a rip to take you out from surf, that way you don't get wet getting out. Tuna better than snapper. Great fishing on time out. Back in the good book, lol. Go Rokkit.

    Just before white water hits you coming to shore sprint, which you keep in front of the white water so the impact not so hard or miss it by keeping in front of the white water going faster. Love your fishing style.
