Robert Field I watched all of your videos and your the best, it is my dream to do what you do. I been watching you since you used Fishbrain. My name is Kallen. I’m 14 and I live in Houston, Texas. And I’m a fishing fanatic. My Fishbrain is SlimFish11. You have inspired me to save up for a Lightening Kayak. Thanks for being my fishing idol. I’m also a fan of Max Moore, thanks to you. (This is my mom’s account. Her name is Toni)
Ha ha..."he wasn't ready". I thought you were going over, the look on your face, ha ha...You have done it again, capture an epic adventure on video. Dude, your editing is going to the next level. It was getting so intense there where the music and all the hook ups I almost had to pause the video to take a breath! WOW.
Robert thank you very much for giving us something entertaining to watch during this coronavirus pandemic. I'm in Miami Florida and I'll tell you it's so quiet out here. I'd love to go fishing with you one day my man.
Love the video looks like an incredible place both fishing and just the beauty of the island and water keep up the good work I’m already for the next one.
You have my dream job. Your videos are insane. They are so much fun to watch. I just bought my first Outback last Summer and spend most of my time chasing Chinooks in Lake Ontario.
I haven't fished N.Z. since the Summer of '67 (a week before Christmas), so I'm sure Everything has Changed a LOT! (There were BIG Yellow tail down there back then, TOO...!) Haha! Really enjoy your videos... Stay Safe, and stay away from the "Beer Virus"!
Have a friend from New Zealand. Heard many stories of catching his own scallops, lobster, fish, and other things. Even dolphins fending off sharks for him. He would feed the dolphins lobster.
dude thank you very much, having this type of video while we have to stay at home is a treasure, now the problem is a want to go fishing now!!! cheers bro!
U come to Southern California and down into Mexico we goes those yellowtail up to 75 lbs and even more occasionally they fight so hard and could even be compared to tuna in some ways! They are such a fun fish to fight!!!!!!!
What an epic looking trip when i win the lotto im booking this trip and panama for sure. you should add a bit of action on the graph. Keep the sweet videos coming Robert.
If they will bite something other than slow pitch stuff, you could use a much heavier and stiffer rod with heavier line and pull them out of the reef. In California they use a heavy 3oz jig with 40lb line and it's called YoYo and it's very effective to pull the fish off the reef. Those slow pitch rods seem WAYYY too noodly for a hard pulling fish like a Yellowtail/Kingy!
We were hearing reports of striped marlin out at the Mokohinau Islands, where we’ll head in a couple days. Later in the series I drag around a big live bait for them... and things get interesting 🤭
I seriously don't think there is a harder fighting fish pound for pound than these things hey! They are just absolutely insane! They have the perfect blend of every trait, the best way I could describe them is the Speed and Stamina of a Yellowfin tuna, with the Power and the Grit of an Amberjack! In the shallows especially around sharp rock and reef that combination almost always results in a bust off haha, I think the ONLY fish that could be argued as the top dog is the mighty Giant Trevally, which essentially feel like you've just hooked a bull, you definitely need to tick some GT's of the list when this is finally all over man haha not much is more extreme than being completely locked up on PE10 gear to a big GT in 10ft of water, as far as pound for pound goes though I'd still have to go with the mighty Yellowtail King💪🏽. Mental fish and epic trip man🤙🏽🎣
Hey Robert, I had a nasty knee injury that has kept me down Salmon seasons on, as well the halibut and stripers are biting in San Francisco bay. I'd love to get you out on a skiff out of Santa Cruz and see if we can't get my triphecta which is limits of salmon, halibut and lings and reds. I would love to teach you some tricks
I want to do this trip next year. I am a long time fly fisherman and I have done some deep sea fishing but I have not really done much Kayak fishing. I retire in March and it will be a gift to myself. I am heading down to La Jolla shores in a few weeks. I need to do what you guys are doing!
@@YakFishField Mate get yourself some Steinlager Pure next time you're in godzone and thank me later. I don't want future groups visiting EnZed poisoned by that Dunedin sewer water! Back when I was a lad and fishing around those parts any "jigging" involved 50 lb mono, a puke-yellow spray painted lead weight with a treble and a heavy 3.5:1 conventional reel on a broomstick of a rod. Technology is so freaking awesome now! The gear I use today in total weighs less than that damn reel did back then and can stop a 60 # AJ or kingi.......well, most of the time. Love your vids, even if you kayak guys are a wee bit nuts and begging to enter the food chain, and love seeing my old neck of the woods as the backdrop.
This looks like so much fun. I wish my wife would let me go, she is really cramping my fishing dreams. I will definitely be buying a kayak I literally live 1 mile away from a very very fishy pass. Wiggins Pass Naples Florida. Kayak fishing is key here. Only way to get into the mangroves quietly & get those big guys.
Damn brother your making New Zealand Look a Place to check out for sure . Killer Vid You know how to bring it . Peace and be safe out there. Hope your far from peeple bro.
This is so crazy! I cant wait to be putting out saltwater videos on my channel too, but for now its fly fishing and fishing Colorado! You guys make me want to take a trip so bad!
@@YakFishField Three Kings about 30 mile off the very northern point of NZ or White Island in the Bay of Plenty. That is where you get the real horse kings.
Love your vids bro!!! Been out that way over the years, more so coramandal.... off the rocks but... idea once all this craziness has left.... you have got to try Lord Howe island, been there 3 times and is close to as epic, mainly off a charter though, although on good days around the island on a yak could be done.... yak Lord Howe is a dream of mine!!! Tight lines legend!!!!!
What size Kayaks do they run on the Ocean ? I live in Kentucky and run a Field & Stream 12 foot or a Pelican 9 foot, depending on where I'm going around here.. Just curious what kind of length they recommended though out there. Beautiful trip by the way. Cheers and stay safe everyone
nice Vid, Arid is great place to fish and dive, some monster packhorse crays there. I don't like your chances of stopping a decent king on that gear tho mate.
Another amazing video robert.... infant wait to hook my first yellow tail king definitely jealous and happy for you Haha. Yeah the tasline is no joke that's all I use from pe 1 to pe 10 amazing line the best I think besides wft.
Hi guy ! beautiful video, I watch your videos from Corsica and I wanted to know the reference of your jig major craft rod because it looks incredible. thank you continue like that!
What is that "small rod"? Looks fun. I've caught 65lb Halibut and Albacore on m/h 6'6" Trevala....but that rod looks a LOT more fun, and even more capable. Would it handle peanut Bluefin and the off-chance of an Opah?
Rob now you know that using 30lb braid for Kingfish in NZ is not sporting but suicide. They have some big units there mate, most guys in NZ use 50-80lb braid main line. When are you going to come do some fishing in Australia?
The shot of the school of Yellow Tail was insane! 😳
Everyone going bendo!!
Thanks for putting up such an exciting video!
Crazy how many there were!
Dude!!!! No BS....I couldn’t stop smiling through that whole video!!! Looks like an amazing trip for sure!!!
It definitely is!!
I don't know how I missed this one. Packed with fun fishing action. Great job as always in bringing the excitement of the adventure.
Thanks and keep them coming mate, we NEED your videos during the NZ lock down period ;)
Workin on the next one! Thanks my man 🙏🏼
By far the best fishing channel on UA-cam
Thanks so much Toni

Love the video looks like an incredible place both fishing and just the beauty of the island and water keep up the good work I’m already for the next one.
It is definitely an incredible place. More coming soon!
Epic Robert, and that's why I watch your channel.....
The fishins fun, but it's the trip that makes it all so EPIC❗😎❗👍
Thanks so much 🙏🏼
One of my favorite fishing channels now.
Absolutely loving this trip. Made my day when I came across it
So glad to hear it. More on the way!
Dude this has to be the most screaming reel video I`ve seen yet. Well done Mr. Field
Thanks my man 🙏🏼
Man that looks like such a good time, everything from the fishing, swimming, eating fish drinking beer and good people 🍻 cheers Rob
That’s what it’s all about brotha! Glad you enjoyed the episode Nelly
Penn Battle is my everyday. Love it. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
Yeah dude. There are better reels out there but Penn makes the best bang for your buck in my opinion
Your shows are always so action packed. U rock. Great on camera presence. Thank you for the always knowledge....
You have my dream job. Your videos are insane. They are so much fun to watch. I just bought my first Outback last Summer and spend most of my time chasing Chinooks in Lake Ontario.
So awesome to hear Allan. Glad you’re diggin the content and thanks for coming along for the journey!
U should definitely do a gear review and show us what gear u use
I can do that
Hobie not lightning
@@YakFishField what is the little jigging rod you are using?
@@aarondawson-jarvis5306 major craft giant killing slow pitch rod :)
That has got to be one of your funniest episodes😂. The bloopers at the end killed me😂
Hahaha we had fun
This is what I think of when I say I wanna hang out with the boys! 🙌🏼💯
Yessir!!
Living the life! What an epic fishery.
That it is 🙌🏼
I haven't fished N.Z. since the Summer of '67 (a week before Christmas), so I'm sure Everything has Changed a LOT! (There were BIG Yellow tail down there back then, TOO...!) Haha!
Really enjoy your videos...
Stay Safe, and stay away from the "Beer Virus"!
They still grow em big. Heard of a 98 pounder caught the day before we shoved off
Have a friend from New Zealand. Heard many stories of catching his own scallops, lobster, fish, and other things. Even dolphins fending off sharks for him. He would feed the dolphins lobster.
Lobster is like $400/kilo there so he’s crazy hahah
And we eat some later in the series!
Loved watching this video. Great video of fishing in the ocean, truly beautiful!
Just a few fish. lol Wow 😀 That ANGLR app marker is pretty cool. At first, I thought it was a golf hat clip. 😆
Haha that all is super powerful
Hey Robert love your vids mate. You should head up to the three kings islands for your next trip. Try 40 - 50kg kingfish yipaah
I’d love to hit three kings! We drive right by it every year. December got cancelled due to covid but I’ll be back ASAP
dude thank you very much, having this type of video while we have to stay at home is a treasure, now the problem is a want to go fishing now!!! cheers bro!
So find a bit of water where nobody's at.....
AND GO FISH❗😜❗👍
So happy to help a little bit 🙏🏼
Absolutely amazing video
What is the fun in getting the same
Kind of fish again and again
The fight is fun
They seem like the strongest fish in the world Robert, for real. Is there any other fish you’ve caught as strong? Epic fishing!
One of the hardest fighters pound-for-pound without a doubt. Can’t imagine a 100 pounder. And they’re out there.
Robert Field you’ll need a whale harpoon!
Excellent Vids Rob! Great addition with the bloopers reel at the end. 👌🏽👍🏽
Haha thanks 🙏🏼
Brilliant episode, thanks 👌
Glad you enjoyed it Paul
You guys have all the fun
Yep
If i dont hear "Hi Brenda!" In one of your videos, it doesn't feel the same. Always great content.
Hahaha pretty sure there’s at least one in every episode of this series. Mom loves it!
U come to Southern California and down into Mexico we goes those yellowtail up to 75 lbs and even more occasionally they fight so hard and could even be compared to tuna in some ways! They are such a fun fish to fight!!!!!!!
Yep, I’ve caught them in Southern California and in Mexico, did episodes on both. They get biggest in New Zealand - over 110 lbs.
Robert Field yeah mate when it comes to king fish you can’t beat NZ. In my opinion they are the most grunty fish out there
Great catch! I chaught kingys on my kayak in south Australia! Great fun!
Super fun fish
Those outtakes were pretty funny 👍
Good times
Good video good job thanks again for the video 🤙
Thanks for watching!
Epic video man!
Thanks Tim
Awesome Vid as always!
Thanks so much Keith
What an epic looking trip when i win the lotto im booking this trip and panama for sure. you should add a bit of action on the graph. Keep the sweet videos coming Robert.

You guys fucking rock! I need this for my sanity. I'm back at the hospital for work in the morning. Keep it up Rob! Yeppa lol
Stay safe brother
Love it mate!
So glad to hear it Dan
New Zealand looks cool
It very much is
Welcome to New Zealand!

The captain is from New Zealand

When you look up fishing videos this video should pop up
Thanks brother
Yellowtail everywhere....one might think there could be something else looking for a yellowtail lunch., like a young Black Marlin?

Super cool
Rob now you know that using 30lb braid for Kingfish in NZ is not sporting but suicide. They have some big units there mate, most guys in NZ use 50-80lb braid main line. When are you going to come do some fishing in Australia?
When Australia allows tourism I suppose lol
