To everyone who’s saying the drone is “cheating” please understand that I would catch these fish either way, I’m simply doing it for YOUR entertainment and to show how these beasts hunt! I actually catch less fish when I’m using the drone, I spook so many flathead while looking at my screen, they are also harder to spot then you’d think and when you do spot them a lot of the time they get spooked in the process. To everyone else, I hope you enjoyed the video!! How epic!! Cheers, Nev
Nev, I'm an experienced photographer and fisherman so I am impressed by what you have done. You operate three cameras, a drone, a kayak and fish - all successfully. That's serious multi-tasking. I wouldn't bother defending yourself to anyone.
The best clip you have ever done? It's the best fishing video ever done by anyone. Using the drone to find your fish and then film a surface take is incredible, Nev. Watching those two big flatties come up to that lure was exciting stuff.
One of the best fishing videos I have ever watched. This format is very entertaining. The different angles, the voice over. I could watch videos like this for hours! Keep it up mate
I've never been in such suspense watching a fishing video before. Thoroughly enjoyable. I do believe you just set the bar, not only for all other channels on UA-cam but also for yourself. That was hunting, not fishing and you nailed it. Well done Nev!
Congrats mate. I having been watching your love of fishing for ages. I’m so glad you got the girl, the drone shot and the lady lived to see another day.
Great stuff Nev. I've been fishing for fifty years and I must say its one of the best things Ive ever seen. Its interesting how the Flattie sees the lure and then quickly jumps forward to an ambush spot and then hits. Truly epic stuff mate.
Nearly 40 years ago I was a young bloke that pretty much killed everything he caught. Then one day I caught my first flathead on an original Mr Twister double tail. Soft tailed jigs were a bit new back then. I recall it vividly. It was where Loder's Ck empties into the Broadwater on the Gold Coast. It was my first lure caught salt water fish and I worked hard for it. I didn't let it go, but while I was cleaning it something clicked. Suddenly I understood my dad's fly fishing mate from my childhood who would hike through blackeberries and bracken to catch a brown trout so he could let it go. No photos back then because the image is stored in your head and only seen by the person it is most important to. Rex Hunt was busy kissing fish on TV and letting them go and I understood. Long before the size slot for flatties was introduced I caught my PB's (yes both) on the same day. An 87 followed by a 92 in the mouth of Tingalpa Ck trolled on a hard body Yo Zuri minnow. I was well chuffed. The bloke baitfishing on the bank shook his head as I lowered the first one gently back into the water. 20 mins later I did it again. Love your work Nev. You restore my faith in our youth. Richard Friday
*What a brilliant way to use a drone!* First to find the fish (Reconnaissance). Then for target observation while launching the lure at it. 🎣 *Very entertaining to watch too!* ☺👍
thanks for sharing these vids mate! you can learn so much about these fish just from watching these drone vids of yours, thanks for opening my eyes just a little more about these great fish.
Loving the new drone stuff mate ... i love how each time that big girl wasnt really that interested at first, until the smaller fish made a move, then instantly she moved in and said bugger off little fella thats mine lol
Great footage Nev, you are onto something here. Nice to see the take, it’s the most exiting part, and to release them in great condition as well especially on these big girls is great to see. Keep up the fantastic footage it’s something a lot of us would love to do but due to work and family commitments it’s a bit hard getting out there. Look forward to your next one, hope the weather co operates.
Great video, seeing drone fishing for flathead with a drone really makes me want to get a drone my self lol. You should try a quick release mount they're like 50 dollars but that way you'll be able to drop your lure from your drone.
Oh man that was so epic to watch, no problem at all with people using drones especially when we get to see those awesome lure takes from a birds eye view. Great work Nev 👍
Dude, thats beautiful filmmaking, storytelling, and adventuring. Good for you to keep them in the water in the net. The drone footage was professionally done. Bravo!
I went kayak fishing and if only I had a drone up I would have had a solid chance at landing two 80cm plus flatties. Drifted right by two of them and spooked them. Awesome video Nev!
Absolutely sensational viewing.. so many times I’ve had encounters with big flathead and seen them slowly follow the lure.. And had nothing to record.. Best video I’ve seen 😜🎣🎣🎣
Absolutely epic footage bro. Been chasing and catching flatties for decades but seeing how they feed and chase down your offerings is awesome. Keep the vids coming mate and so glad I came across your channel 💯🤙
Those look some whopper lays too! Drone footage is awesome, capturing a complete different angle for us fishos. Congrats on the PB Nev (although I imagine not for long?). Bring on the metre long lizard 🎉
Awesome video and drone shots of the fish lies and hook up .well done . You did well to land fish and the drone. A lot going on! I think I’ll have to add a drone to the tackle box
That was amazing! To have your buddies handle the extra cameras was very cool. ... Wait? That was by yourself? Utterly amazing!! 🙃 Seriously, that was VERY COOL to have all that equipment ready at the go and you took advantage of a beautiful (dare say, perfect) opportunity! Well done! 💯
Lol told you a lot of fishos would say it’s cheating , but I reckon it more like filming a documentary on how they hunt & what’s going on when your fishing , always wonder if the fish are just watching the lure go by & saying hey Fred see this pelican trying to trick us into eating the plastic hook thingy ….. Fred ? Awe Fred why did you eat it …. . It’s great content Nev it’s a first & you have nailed it. Set the bar high now mate ! Can’t wait to see what’s next in your bag of tricks. Be proud mate your an inspiration to many.

That was bloody amazing love it so more of it please
Nev, I'm an experienced photographer and fisherman so I am impressed by what you have done. You operate three cameras, a drone, a kayak and fish - all successfully. That's serious multi-tasking. I wouldn't bother defending yourself to anyone.
Not cheating at all mate, its an extra dimension to the entertainment value. I love it. You do your thing and let them do theirs.
Thanks everyone! 😀
You are not cheating Nev. Awesome stuff!
The best clip you have ever done? It's the best fishing video ever done by anyone. Using the drone to find your fish and then film a surface take is incredible, Nev. Watching those two big flatties come up to that lure was exciting stuff.
Wow, thanks! Glad you think so😁
Что за рыба?
Belo exemplar, pescaria top!
Qual o nome desse peixe?
thanks for great
show!
It gives you so much information on their hunting as well I love watching them before they take it just sussing it out
One of the best fishing videos I have ever watched. This format is very entertaining. The different angles, the voice over. I could watch videos like this for hours! Keep it up mate
The drone view mixed with the first person view is absolutely legendary!
I love how clear the water was and how good the drone picked up the lies.
2:11 that right there is wallpaper worthy
I've never been in such suspense watching a fishing video before. Thoroughly enjoyable. I do believe you just set the bar, not only for all other channels on UA-cam but also for yourself. That was hunting, not fishing and you nailed it. Well done Nev!
Yeah going to be hard to top this one!
Congrats mate. I having been watching your love of fishing for ages. I’m so glad you got the girl, the drone shot and the lady lived to see another day.
Mate your flatty drone videos are sick! Please keep doing these. It's an awesome idea that I haven't seen before.
Thanks! Will do!
Loving the drone footage. it shows us a bit of how Flatties react to lures. It's a great chance to learn more about these great fish.
Great stuff Nev. I've been fishing for fifty years and I must say its one of the best things Ive ever seen. Its interesting how the Flattie sees the lure and then quickly jumps forward to an ambush spot and then hits. Truly epic stuff mate.

I think your drone shots are absolutely awesome and something new that is really needed in fishing videos.
The drone footage is always great, and watching the flat head strike is always so cool.
Watching Nev is now my weekly routine 😅
Love that!
*What a brilliant way to use a drone!*
First to find the fish (Reconnaissance).
Then for target observation while launching the lure at it. 🎣
*Very entertaining to watch too!* ☺👍
That was so cool watching the big flathead stalking the lure then the hook up, the drone adds another dimension, good work Nev!
Thanks 👍

YES NEV I need more, so cool seeing where fish hold and how they follow lures on the retrieve. Borrowed the old mans drone to go have a gander myself.
Great footage Nev, you are onto something here. Nice to see the take, it’s the most exiting part, and to release them in great condition as well especially on these big girls is great to see.
