New Caledonia Popping and Jigging - 2014
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 жов 2014
- In September of 2014, Sami traveled with Dorian, George and Arthur to New Caledonia to fish with Powercat Charters,
For 5 days the crew popped and jigged, with the main targets being dogtooth tuna and giant trevally.
Sami: "To sum this trip up and give its fairness - I must say that we encountered one of the best Dogtooth tuna bites ever!
Defeated would be an understatement to what we saw and ran into at that part of the world. The highlight is that so far I’m booking 2 trips for 2015 season and 2016."

I just wanna say this channel the best ever...coz this channel make me want to fishing ...5 years i never forget this channel...until now thanks lot
To all the people who somehow think they know better than these guys, Dog Tooth tuna is a different beast in the Pacific islands. They chew through 300lb wire like it's 4lb mono. They also run in that deep water straight down and then out so you've got hundreds of yards out before you have any chance. This isn't live bait and an 80W, this is Stella 20k's getting rocked.
Awesome video guys!!! Obviously lots of people on here who know nothing about the vast array of fisheries we have. Tackle and technique required for a species can vary greatly, simply by moving to the other side of a lake, bay, shelf, etc.... The amount of uneducated comments, is amazing. We all love to fish people!!! Read a little, use google, before you open your mouth about something you know nothing about and clearly do not understand.
It never ceases to amaze me how people who know the least yell the loudest. There are so many comments on here from people who know nothing about the type of fishery they are looking at, or any of the skill involved.
Forget what you think you know about fishing. These guys fish in a different world. 80lb spin tackle, 40 lbs of drag, 100-200lb leader, and they are UNDER-gunned.
Doggies and GT are some of the strongest fish that swim, bar none. They live in and around sharp rocks and drop offs. If the fish get back to cover, they will break you off. If the fish run to deep water and drag your line on a ledge, they will break you off. If the numerous sharks get to your fish, they will attack it, hit your line, and break you off. You have to somehow find a way to stop all these things from happening without snapping your line, straightening your hook, or breaking your rod. You hook up, gun the boat to deep water, and pray.
Success rate against small Doggies while jigging is, on a good day, 20% per hookup. These guys are hooking in to big boys; fish-of-a-lifetime size. The fact that they landed anything at all is testament to the combined skills of angler and captain.
Don't believe me? I wasn't so sure either, so I went over to Melanesia and tried it for myself. If you can, save up for a trip to one of these places. It's worth every penny. It will change you. If you can't, sit back, dream, and keep your ill-formed opinions to yourself.
Kieran, right on the money,
you summed it up so well!

Sami, you are the best, I lean a lot to improuve my fishing technique in New Caledonia by watching you videos / doog tooth tuna is still the most difficult fish to catch (power and speed of fish, reef cutting and teeth cutting also).
Hi +BUI Huytho
Thank you for the kind words :)
will be back to New Caledonia soon and hopefully will be lucky this time as we are more prepare for what we're about to encounter.

An amazing fishing video in youtube...all stages well covered... and the backgroubd score is fantastic... "an interesting video"..
I saw a comment on all the 'jerking' of the rods. This is called Speed Jigging. I suggest you try it. It might look stupid, but the fish can't resist a popping, fluttering bait. It's a lot of work, but it's worth the effort.
To all people being butthurt: if you haven't noticed the fish are running to the bottom and breaking off on the reef. The rods can handle marlin. The line will be braid over 80lb and they are using wire trace and still being busted off. They are motoring away in an attempt to get to deeper water where the fish can be landed. Go try and catch a dogtooth tuna sometime, show some respect these guys will have been chartering longer than you have ever fished.
At least somebody understand this fishery! thank you for your input :)

That's good fishing brother's
AWESOME VIDEO
Good stuff !
Fisher #1 around off the world !
Wow that's a monster!
woww.. great video bro....
I'm amazed of all the negative comments!
Pretty sure lot of guys never land Doggy-Tuna in south pacific.
The island ocean structure and sharks make it very hard to bring it back to the surface.
Myself and some friends are stocking minimum 20 jiggs for 5 days for Mangareva, Rikitea :)
And we are not even sure it will be enough!
Hi Olomana,
I just came back from New Caledonia and we encounter the same problem, many jigs were lost due to shark bite, doggies and other species, it is what it is.
good luck on your coming trip!

reading all these comments I can tell that the people who are bashing the guy in the video have never fished in an area where the fish can run into the structure and cut you off or in areas with tons of sharks
You the best of the best !!!
great video where are y'all from I am not trying to steal your fishing spots I just was wondering because I saw islands
nice one mate
High class problems in Paradise Sami!
john inder heres a quick tip it,s a style called pumpinq the fish😊😀😀😀
Wow incredible...
hella nice boat
nice video, what is the outro music? :)
What a shambles gentlemen!!!!!!
what is the title of the two music please? thanks
how do we get on this trip with you,
and what are the rough cost join one of your groups
Awesome..
Great video and adventure.
I'm just starting to make Jigging Videos, I'm more of a flyfishing guy.
Heading out soon for some big fish!
se trataba de tronar las lineas o qué?
these comments are a crackup lots of "experts" on the internet. nice to have a video of unstopables
keep em coming
those poles are for lake or river fishing.. not deep sea
The only thing wrong with this vid and the boys fishing in it , is the absolutely brainless comments of stillwater , guppy fishermen who have never been to the tropics, never felt 25kgs of drag , never hooked anything bigger than there own purses , and have never fished in shark infested waters.
Good job boys , you had fun , got a few , lost a few, had your arms stretched and no doubt had some cold cold beers after a hard day jigging.
I didn't even see the fish on the thumbnail
jesus,why these people think that theres nothing in the water,ever heard about ocean mountain,trenches,drop off? maybe you should show them sonar image of the fishery to educate these people,
always dreaming of going fishing at new Caledonia since robson green,but watching this,i know ill never get any fish here,this rich ass guys with thousand dollar of setup still cant land a fish here.what a nice place to be.
Hey Sami,What's your set up to land big boys like you've guys caught. Tight lines!
Hi +mrwhon
I suggest you a PE8 rod to handle those fish and it all depends on the structure and the terrain of the destination, I just finished an 8 days expedition in Chesterfield Islands in New Caledonia and we succeeded on landing some massive big doggies, stay tuned for the new video in the near future.
+Sami Ghandour Thank you Sami! Much respect to you and your crew. Tight Lines!!!
Conventional (overhead) reels can control fish a lot better than can the spinning reels most jiggers persist in using!
Richard Crowe I've used both.....you can work the rail better with conventional, but you rarely get a birdsnest with a spinning reel. I've caught 30 lb yellowtail and 35lb tuna on my Penn Spinfisher V 10500 ...pretty rugged for the price.
Did you guys learn anything?
Nice
It is surprising to me that pelagics are going to take you down into structure. Maybe these dogtooth tuna are different.
+Saltywater Tackle Fishing Stronger leaders heavier lines, You should not be Losing tuna you dummies!!!
You guys need to gear up for west coast (Calif.) stand up fishing. 5’ Seeker 6455XXXH rod with at leat a Penn International 50W or even an 80 Int. Then anything from 80-130# brain and maybe 200# mono leaders. Get your drag set for 30%. Nuff said.
hahaha brilliant!! another day in fcking paradise!!!
Don't they wanna eat the fish?
Why on earth was the boat moving that fast in the opposite direction of the fish while you had guys fighting fish. I understand if your trolling and you hook up at a steady speed but the only time you need to be running the boat like that is if your chasing the fish down, usually that only happens when the fish is in danger of spooling you out of line. I'm no charter captain and I know that. It even looks like at 2:28 the prop cuts the fish off. Not to mention all the insane jerking, what were you doing mid fight resetting the hook or something? Then the guy comes up in the middle of a nice fight where it looks like things are going moderately well, see's the drag working as it should be spooling out line to work the fish to a tired state as it is designed to do and so he tightens the drag thus allowing the fish to pop off the line, I dare to question the knots here lol. Man I'd ask for a refund, this charter looks like it had no clue what it was doing, if it wasn't intentionally setting up its customers for failure. Thanks for this informative video I would consider changing the name of your Charter company after see this video. Unless of course this was some trick and you guys used your competitions Charters as the name of the charter lol.
Vincent,
Have you ever fished for Dogtooth tuna?
we are fighting the terrain which is very harsh and the fish are running to the reef and drop off to cut us and we are dealing with the shark which they are feasting on our fish after the hook up, I hope you get the idea...

Sami
use larger hooks and stronger line
Wow
Sami, i collect and store your t-shirts and hats.
wow
cool
Mucho freno
These fish are soo fkin big and powerful the only thing that stands a good chance of landing it is a cable winch....
Anyone know what brand of rods do they use ?
Hi +Vincent walker
A variety of jigging rods: Saltywater Tackle Outer Banks 300 & 400, Ripple Fisher along some casting rods such as Carpenter and Race Point 250 Popping rod.

They aren't trying to break their lines they are trying to get the fish off the structure they are fishing
i don coment guys.
you, only you!
Gutt gut..nick
It's like you guys were trying to break your line. Wtf are you doing, looks like you're trying to un snag from kelp or some shit like a 12 year old. Damn this is painful.
+stoola
We are all bunch of newbies to the game, give us a break!
seriously, you want me to take your input into considerations? is that a joke!!!
+stoola So where's that dogtooth you caught? Oh right, you didn't.
+stoola ^
You are dumb educate your self before you try to make a comment like that
Educate yourself. Besides kelp doesn't exist in tropical waters, genius!
I'm gettin pissed just watching the lines break, so I know u guys were mad.
What is Fish ?
You aren't funny
looks like you need some heavier gear lol
people have to be careful fishing big game because the other day I caught a 230 pound halibut that could of happened to someone who has never been fishing by them self pulled into the water and wouldn't come back up all I have to say is fish safe guys
I think there should be a balance between being as sporty as possible and being effective and finalize the catch; there is no point in loosing tens of lures every day and leaving them in fishes mouths, not to mention the money, just because you want to feel the shiver and not increase a bit the size of your tackles
+geozantrox666 i can see that you mostly catch and release anyway, while many of the fishes lost with lures will die for nothing
I knew this guy was Lebanese hahahahahahaha
I see alot of hate in these comments, if you have never tried jigging or spearfishing Dogtooth Tuna.. Shut the hell up !
Do not use treble hooks wz the jigs. Use instead Owner or Duel conventional jigging hooks 6/0 or 8/0 depending on where you fishing. Your hook up rate will improve.
Harden up princess. If you couldn't tell that was a joke I think knots are the least of your problems. I fish in Fiji by the way.
money , money, year
Why don't you STOP the freaking boat, is just add more weight to line no wonder your line broke, small fish can break the line if you dragged with moving boat. Is painful to see this.
change your hooks up
Use cinvenchinal reels or rods
Why not just use a good size ball swivel and a couple of split rings to a decent hook, or use 2 swivels if you want more length,no fish besides a shark will chew threw that.
Saltywater tackle
That's only a few inches and makes for a weak connection a dog tooth tuna can cut cut the line even if they did the swivel thing
The foul mouth dude sawed his own line on the teeth of the fish by jerking up and down. What were you thinking?
Dogtooth tuna are well known to have a bony jaw, in order to have a good hook up penetration you need to set the hook in that matter, I don't know if you ever had the chance to fish for Dogtooth tuna but if you did you will understand the need to do so.

They need bigger poles and conventional reels. These fish are over powering those weak set ups. And why is the boat driving while they are attempting to reel in those fish? So many fails here I can't count them all.
What reel and rod would you use ???
your going to loose them if you jerk the rod like that lol
why you pull it with boat..?
Not to fast...?
all type of fish
isn't there better quality lines? more fish catched and less hooks and lines in fishes :o
Hi WalrosZ,
Have you ever had the chance to target Dogtooth Tuna? they are one of the hardest fish to land...
Tight lines
Sami
Loosen the drag
Che scarsi...!! È proprio vero il detto "il pane a chi no ha i denti"....!!
It looks like you guys are using rubber hooks..LOL.OOL.
Whats the point? that you don't know how to match gear to fish.
ก่ดีนะ
These guys need to learn how to tie a decent knot. They're just like my fishin buddy Boomer. He can't tie a decent knot under pressure either. I clean em up while he gets cleaned up. Just havin a laugh, great video.
There was not a single failure to knot tying :) I don't know if you ever fished for Dogtooth Tuna....
Tight lines
Sami
I don’t care what kind of fishing your doing. When is it ok to reach over someone’s shoulder and adjust their drag?
"Take the money from the rich tourist" kind of fishing. These guys know almost nothing about fishing and are just having a good fun for the money they payed.
To an experienced fisherman this kind of video can be described as "how not to do it". No hating, after all we were all beginners at some point.
no tienen ni idea de sacar un pez del agua....
Brain
They fish big fishes and releash them again,that's not fishing
no respect the fish, no fishermans ,you lose.
So hot!!!
Great!!!
Jesus. Let the drag out. You are in open ocean with no structure nearby. Play em, dont horse em
The shark we're feeding on our catch buddy :)
Sami there seems to be some sort of illusion about your fishing technique.. I think you guys are all extremely good at what you do. Those big Steĺlas put out 25kg plus drag and they are locked up. I take it those rods are at least 450-500gm rods and you still couldnt stop them!!. Monster dogtooth are dirty fighters and very powerfull. There have been some silly comments by people who have no idea and it really shows the ignorance. I guess a new spot may be the only way to possably beat these monsters. Motoring away from the reef is the only answer. We do the same with 40kg kingfish here in NZ. Tight lines boys my hat is off to you!!.
+Derek Davies
Thank you Derek :)

LOOSEN YOUR DRAG! ILL TELL YOU HAAAAWHAAAT
The world will peace if the human stop harm the animal or stop kill the animal
That leaves me with one unpuzzled answer, the world is not in peace and never been and will never be, get to reality and face life....
we fish because we like it and it is part of our life, in another note we release 90% of our catch!
mucha calidad de material, los pescadores son nulos
Hai propio ragione! 😅
Money can't buy brains :(
Jajajaja ke panda de paketes estos no pescan ni en una pecera nadie les contó para ke vale el freno del carrete
Jjjkt
These boys don't know how to fish, you don't set the drag so hard that all your lines are snapping, see yr rods and reel PE, you have to fight the fishes not winch them up and yr boat should not be on the move and so fast…..watch the jigging master from Taiwan …. shame so many fails n all snapping within few minutes upon hooked up
Buddy,
The sharks are feasting on our fish!!!!

Sami
Oh I see, Sorry mates, My ignorance, have a great time fishing… Cheers
can't say it better , ;)
These peoples knows how to jig but have no idea how to land a fish. More like "how to break your line video"
The guy at 9:30 might be the worst fisherman i have ever even seen try to fish. Yanking like that, are you fucking serious. Then bitches about losing him after he rips the fishes jaw out.
the fish did not get its jaw ripped out. if you knew anything it would have bitten through the trace or gone round the reef. stop bitching its a video
Pey Tron,
Your comment show 0 knowledge about Dogtooth tuna fishing, so i will stop right there :)

no teneis ni idea de pescar, normal que se rompa la linea con esos tirones.
Errores de novatos
And why the hell is the boat in gear? Stop the damn boat. Geez!!! Amateurs!!
Trying to get away from the reef as Doggies tend to run you to the reef to cut you off but after all we're amateurs :)
