      Or watch his recent eel video. That was very surprising and superbly efficient!

    Wow! Here in San Diego we have wind so not fishing today, having coffee and just watched your sister Mitsuki with a beach cleanup and fishing and then seeing your latest OCL pop up and what a show this is. Taku, Jocelyn, this is one of the best shows I have ever seen. Following your trip has been a joy and to see the both of you work so hard and pull off this fish is just amazing. I can feel and see the passion/emotion in Jocelyn and you after you landed that trout. What a feeling that is and you were able to bring that feeling out on this day. Great job! We wish you all the best. Danny and Kim, San Diego, CA.

    taku have you ever thought to do a bow hunt and cook? New Zealand is a hunters paradise. it has so many delicious animals to hunt from all over the world. I love bow hunting. it is a pure primal experience. i think you would love to watch the animal get so close before you decide to take its life to sustain your own. it takes a lot of discipline patience and practice to hit your mark with a bow. for me it is always a spiritual experience to take an animal's life and sustain my life from its flesh. wild meat is the best. i have a freezer full of deer meat. i love having the power to decide when and how to take its life to prolong my own. i process my deer myself. I taught myself.

    i love watching all your adventures. my line of choice is Ande 6 lb tournament green mono. i fish the lake erie tributaries for steelhead every year and my PB is a 9.6 lb rainbow trout. there's no better feeling than having that fish on your line and trying to get them in. when you set the hook you gotta relax and take your time. it is worth the wait. the rollercoaster of emotions during the fight is real. it is the best adrenaline rush ever to get them in and in the net. i also released my biggest trout. it feels good to catch the biggest fish of your life and release them and watch them swim away.

    The Canals is such an interesting place to fish, theres some absolutely massive fish and just so many places to explore. First time I was down there I caught a reasonable fish in about the first couple of casts and I assumed it was going to be easy man, was I wrong. Took me a few more days to catch something decent. Its almost like learning to fish all over again, but is very rewarding.

  • @darylroygard8246
    @darylroygard8246 Рік тому

    New Zealand Chef here. If I can give you advice with cooking lamb, use a unsalted butter with a neutral oil while searing, then cover on a medium to low heat for 5 minutes to start the fat rendering process, then after 5 minutes cook until all sides are caramelised. Obviously in a kitchen an oven will speed this up, but I've found the method I've mentioned works well in a camping environment
