    Welcome back to another episode guys! We've hit the Gulf of Carpentaria on the lower West Coast of Cape York and the barramundi fishing does not disappoint. We're in a new river system fishing for the iconic Barramundi and looking to capture some footage of those Huge Saltwater Crocodiles to show you guys. Enjoy!

    The fact that you edit these videos yourself makes it that much more pleasant to watch. You do a great job at creating good content to both of you. You're in the top three favorite UA-camrs of all time. I aspire for that life.

    Guys, we love your videos so much.
    Top edited too… put a lot of effort in it.
    What we can’t understand is your way of cooking and eating super fresh fish… oil.. bah… crumbles… oh men…
    Soja Sauce wasabi….grilled as whole… steamed…
    Keep the sunny side up.
    Cheers guys..

    Biggest croc I've seen was in the Freshwater Finniss NT. We were in a 4m tinny and it was longer than the boat. The croc swam out from under a huge log on a shallow sandbar in crystal clear water then under our boat which was epic to watch.

    Nath top notch editing job mate ur drone footage of the terrain etc makes it great viewing 👌
    When I lived up there back in the day we didn’t have any sort of portable refrigerators so we used to tie the barra up really close to the boat by securing them by the lower jaw by running a cord thru a small slit in the thin skin at the front of the mouth,
    After they had been tied up just chilling under the boat for either a couple of hours until we were ready to eat them or even overnight till we were going home they lost all I’m guessing lactic acid from their capture an their flesh was super white an so much better tasting 👌👌
    Stay safe guys 🤙
