Cracking fish from big hard yards. 100's of casts, 5am Eildon freeze, no guarantees, yet you did it and pulled a big one. Loved the bit when he had you on your back on deck. Awesome. Loved this vid. Waiting for final fitout of my new boat....then Eildon here I come!
Just about to head to Eildon for an epic kayak trip over 4 days of Cod fishing. Lubin, do you have any local tips for not losing lures? I fear I will run out of expensive lures in that timber:) Cheers
The sacrifice earns you the glory.. well done ..just wondering if you notice any Suspicious Looking objects in the water through your livescope being so close to Melbourne 😄🗡🪓
Mate that was incredible!! Congratulations. Such a wicked way to showcase the chase and capture the moment. What a treat to be able to enjoy that with you.
Great vid again mate your persistence shows the way to success if we got what it takes to follow, me I’m like the fisheries dude in a t shirt but at Eildon I’m standing around a big fire. Rolling around the back of your tinny with a big cod was a classic not quite a story I could use with my misses when I go away for 2 days but an absolute classic vid. How good is Eildon, cod don’t get that big eating crickets, the waterway looks in fantastic shape and I reckon us mere mortals bait fishing under a float would do well too on the teddies & trout. Loved the adventure and loved the outcome for you mate great work for great rewards, thanks for taking us along
@@thefullscale-fishingadvent2917 can I ask a silly question, I am a believer in user pays, your content persistence and skill are amazing how can I support you so selfishly 😀 I get more
What a fish! Your excitement & getting it in the boat was fun to watch!! I’m jealous living in the US. I’m going to plan a Cod trip in the next 5 years
Another awesome video Lubin!! Just something about the big Cod!! Not sure how you do it, but even the periods of you just casting with no hits even are entertaining! Can't wait for Thursday for the next one!!!
Another Donkey! Brilliant effort once again. Your genuine excitement when you hook up to these big buggers is what it's all about. If you could bottle it, it would sell for a fortune. Another informative and entertaining video too. Keep the great stuff coming.
Magic Stuff Lubin. The timing on the lake was perfect - looked like great weather conditions. Congratulations on another Monster Greenback. Love to hear the excitement of the catch. Cheers Grazza.
Thought something was going to happen when you made yourself a coffee! When your fishing something always happens when you make yourself some lunch or a coffee and your coffee ends up going cold haha
Amazing 👏 Just wondering, do you not measure fish to protect them that little bit more, because you don't want how amazing a fish is to be judged by a number, or because you just don't need to know? Well done again, love your work
Loved the video, great "whopper". I noticed you don't seem to use the pole/ scope much, even when the big one didn't stick. Obviously you are still fishing by instinct. So why the pole? Just for bait spotting? Cheers
Awesome stuff mate still searching for my first at Eildon hoping you do more down there. Question I notice you never measure the fish in any of your episodes is there a reason ? Cheers keep up the hard work mate 👌🏼
Awesome stuff Lubin, love seeing all the hard work and persistence pay off! Eildon is such a sick location, I wish I could get down there more often. P.S. what type of gloves do wear while casting? I've been having trouble finding a pair that are warm but also sensitive enough to cast with.
Thanks mate. Eildon is definitely a special place that’s for sure! I use snow gloves which take a bit of getting used to casting but they keep your hands dry and warm
Very , very nice Lubin... that is what it's all about right there. Eildon is the best place to fish for giant cod in winter, in my personal opinion. 🤠✌👍👍 bloody brilliant to see you on cod almighty 3 also,, that last one,, was f@#£ing enormous. Glen really did a major job with those big new lures. Cheers buddy. Edit: how do you work?? SERIOUSLY, how can you afford to work, and fish so,much. I just went over to Marlo for a week by myself in my boat, cost me about 1,200 just for that... (8hr drive) chasing flat head and bream. Had a bloody ripper of a time. Got not so many big ones, best bream was only 41cm, and small flatties, plenty of trevally, and those stupid puffer... but plenty of action, and alot of fun.
Fish was out of the water for a substantial amount of time was it nessacary to have it removed out of the water if the lure could have been removed while in the water? Do better mate
There’s a big difference between summer and winter and you should know that. Big fish sit below the thermocline when it’s hot because the water is so much cooler. The problem is when you pull a big fish from the cool deep water and then have it sit on the hot top layer unnecessarily. I’m not trying to start a war, I just want people that catch big cods to show them the respect they deserve. If the fish was tangled as you told me and that was the problem, why not just cut the net and release the fish? Surely a fish of a lifetime like that is worth more than your landing net mesh..
•2m down compared to surface can be 10 degrees or more in still water over summer •keeping it in the net while you drive back to the ramp is just as bad as air time if not worse. •You called your family down to the ramp that takes another 10 mins - surface time is crucial •measured it 5 times in the dry dirt. Measure it once or put the mat in the water where you can measure it wet
Awesome work great video
Well done mate,Great fish🤙
Cracking fish matey!!!!!

Great work mate where the samba honks there's big cod . cheers.😁
So true! It’s happened a couple times now actually

The emotions after the capture is what it’s all about it!

What hooks do you use?
Great video Lubin and Nice fish mate!
The Stag Deer didn’t like you hanging around his spot, nice fish, fantastic footage, well done mate.
Certainly didn’t! Thanks for watching mate appreciate it!
Wow! So epic!
Haha insane man…! What a horse, I can’t believe he came back. Well done mate

Frikken awesome work mate I’m stoked that you got that big behemoth 👍🏻.
Certainly worked hard for that fish man.
So many hits and misses.
Hoping to boat my 1st Eildon donkey this season 💪
They can be such hard work at eildon lol but if you keep at it one will slip up eventually!
Wow what a fish mate, definitely worth the hard grind . Well done man 👌👊
Much appreciated mate, those big ones certainly don’t come easy!
Thought something was going to happen when you made yourself a coffee! When your fishing something always happens when you make yourself some lunch or a coffee and your coffee ends up going cold haha
Amazing 👏
Just wondering, do you not measure fish to protect them that little bit more, because you don't want how amazing a fish is to be judged by a number, or because you just don't need to know?
Well done again, love your work
Much appreciated mate! I never measure them because the length is irrelevant and I’d rather get the fish back in the water quickly 🤙
What a great result. Well worth the effort Lubin. Yet to get a metery, but will continue the grind till i do.😜
For the algorithm!!!!
😂
Holy toleedo , that first boof '''nearly spilt me coffee.
Loved the video, great "whopper". I noticed you don't seem to use the pole/ scope much, even when the big one didn't stick. Obviously you are still fishing by instinct. So why the pole? Just for bait spotting? Cheers
Thanks mate. Because I’m from the generation of cod anglers before the pole I find it hard to just scan and not cast 🤷♂️
Is that down the Bonnie soon end mate
Nope
Awesome stuff mate still searching for my first at Eildon hoping you do more down there.
Question I notice you never measure the fish in any of your episodes is there a reason ? Cheers keep up the hard work mate 👌🏼
Keep at it mate I’m sure something will happen. I don’t see any point in measuring anything, it’s either small, a good one or a whopper lol
Awesome stuff Lubin, love seeing all the hard work and persistence pay off! Eildon is such a sick location, I wish I could get down there more often.
P.S. what type of gloves do wear while casting? I've been having trouble finding a pair that are warm but also sensitive enough to cast with.
