I love how every video just have people arguing about this or that. If you like debating go elsewhere. Im here to enjoy the fishing. DONT KNOW HOW YOU MANAGE TO STAY ON THE BOAT.... with the size of the kings you guys catch. Great video! keep up the top work!!!
It seems everyone is right. If you read wikipedia it identifies them as Yellowtail kingfish in Aus and NZ. But yes its all the same species but depending on where you live they are called diff things.
hey winga u should seriously start thinking about televising your clips,youve got some of the best footage ive ever seen and to just waste your passion on youtube isnt good enough.your also an awsome host and i would really like to see you go far with it,good luck mate.
You have a great show. I love you guys. I'm slightly larger than you and putting that much strain on my body would be dangerous. Have you considered electric reels? Those are larger than the Yellowtail in California. Good show!
Actually Brandon, yellowtail kingfish is in fact a species of amberjack. The proper name of kingfish in OZ and NZ is Southern yellowtail, which you'll find in the IGFA record. What Michael is catching are California yellowtail. Both Southern yellowtail (or yellowtail kingfish) and California yellowtail are subspecies of the species yellowtail amberjack (Seriola lalandi). The two are essentially the same but categorized into two due to their slightly different range and life history.
Actually, both you and Chuck D are only partially (in)correct. Yellowtail amberjack is divided into three subspecies. The ones found in Northern Pacific are California yellowtail (more commonly called amberjack, scientific name is Seriola lalandi dorsalis). The ones found in OZ and NZ are Southern yellowtail (more commonly called yellowtail kingfish, scientific name is Seriola lalandi lalandi). The Asian yellowtail, more commonly called buri/hiramasa in Japan, are Seriola lalandi aureovitta.
I got ahold of a yellowtail kingfish yesterday. It was my size (5'4")it was GIANT it jumped up and gave us a show. 4 people thought I was a future fisher man. Today I caught five mackerel by myself. No help at all. They were about 13-16 inches. I'm only twelve :D.
Funny eh. They are definitely kingfish tho, the world over, so your name for them is a nick name or slang. Amberjack is another species alltogether. :) Im talking IGFA and guiness wrold record recognised classification too.
Actually no, kingfish is simply a common name used for many species of pelagic fish, not appropriate for accurate nomenclature. Amberjack is a common name for nine species of fish which share the genus Seriola. These include: Yellowtail amberjack (S. lalandi), which include the subspecies Southern yellowtail/yellowtail kingfish in OZ and NZ. Samson fish (S. hippos). Samson fish is not a subspecies of (yellowtail) kingfish. The two are distinct species of amberjacks.
In NZ they are called kingfish. In Australia they are called kingfish. We don't call any other fish kingfish except these. We also have amberjack and we also have Sampson fish. It only matters what the locals call them not what a book from another country calls them. Coz we don't care.
Bakit sila manghuli ng isda, , , , tapos ibalik din sa dagat?Pakita lang sa mga tao na naka-huli ka ng malaking isda? Parang sinasaktan mo lang ang mga isda?
these are some of the most delicious fish in the sea, especially grilled...why bother fishing if you aren't going to eat them? what's the point? spend a bunch of money to go torture some fish, many of which probably won't survive the ordeal anyways, just to let them go? now marlin are one thing...they aren't great eating, are majestic, on the rare side, and people understandably release those sometimes...but yellowtail are fairly common, and are also commercially fished...when you let this go, if a shark doesn't get them because they are half-dead, probably some commercial fisherman will come by and net a few thousand of them next week or something.... I just don't get it, I really don't.
geez i am tired of these internet professors.these are properly called yellowtail amberjack.there are multiple species of amberjack. kingfish is a slang term. the scientific name is Seriola lalandi.look it up.
just because you call it that doesnt mean that is the correct name.this fish is properly called a yellowtail amberjack. kingfish is a slang term.scientific name Seriola lalandi.
Good shows mate , I enjoy watching them.

Which model Simano Terez rods did you use in the photos - last few mins of the vid?
You have a great show. I love you guys. I'm slightly larger than you and putting that much strain on my body would be dangerous. Have you considered electric reels? Those are larger than the Yellowtail in California. Good show!
Maybe you should talk to Michael Mosley, or perhaps read his book.

wrong. these are all species of jack...amberjack is a species of jack too, along with quite a few other fish in the same family around the world.
Ive got a question, I'm new to sea fishing. What kind or rods would your recommend for big game fishing anything up to 1000 pounds ??

What kind of line were you guys using?
rods are they T-curves or Blue rose ?
