Final update: this little reel is the little engine that could ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxSlytCJqozTF7EbdP4LWP-HUXf9WRDJ0e . It performed flawlessly and was easy to adjust drag in the moment while I was battling a 35lb bat ray behemoth. Mind you, this reel is spooled with only 25 lb braid and 25 mono topshot. It's paired with the kastking telescopic heavy power rod and the two work well together. This has now earned my respect and confidence when traveling and fishing. If you have ever hooked into large rays and sharks, you know they pull extremely hard and can run forever! This thing clamped down on the fish and was easy to adjust during the fight. It has a nice decently fast retrieve as well. Twice the fish went on mad runs and I was able to gain back line quickly to avoid spooling.
Thats why family is the best. I was all together like 5 months in hospital because of cancer and then I get bacteria infection in my knees so I had to stay another 3 months to heal that. But my mom always brought me my favorite food like salmon with rice or chicken with rice and so the highlight of the day was always the food that also kept me from going crazy. 😄
Absolutely loving the Biggsy blog style content. You have the sweetest kids. Keep up the good work on and off screen. Your fishing comp is the only fishing video I've watched that managed to catch my girlfriends attention. So wholesome. I would love to see a "packing for a trip" style video as a bit of a crossover with your educational series.
I’m hoping for a speedy recovery for your son!! About 3 days ago I had to get 6 stitches in my right hand cause I got too gnarly, messing around in the “bush” of my backyard, cutting some firewood. I’m frothing to get back on the water and maybe catch some lunch 😋. But these vids definitely have helped me get by. Cheers, from across the globe!!
Son: More Flathead Briggsy: More what? Son: More Flathead Briggsy: More what? Son: Flathead Briggsy: More of what? Son: FLATHEAD Briggsy: More Flathead, there is no more
Hi from Gold Coast, Australia! Come over once to fish around our beautiful East Coast! Very different compare to Hungary, I grow up by the River Kőrös.
Glad to see your boy is safe and healthy and good on you for getting that sweet and healthy sole (fish pun) food into him. On another note, I've been loving the beginner guides to fishing since I'm a/ new to fishing, and b/ new to Aussie. If you have anymore "basics" videos coming out I'd be keen as to watch em. I'm sure I'll have many questions in the future. Love the content, and all the best.
Jesus mate, that’s rough. Props to you and your young bloke’s mum for being on the ball, I’ve got an 8 year old daughter and I’d be wrecked if anything happened to her. Big love ❤️
Ouch! I cut through the joint in my thumb and severed the tendon and cartilage with a saw when I was 14... It required microsurgery for the tendon and 7 stitches followed by 4 months recovery and physio. 4.5 years on, I will always have joint pains and limitations but so grateful I can still use it (epic scar to show). Good recovery and be careful!
Looks like the young fella will be back in no time judging by how much he enjoyed that flatty. A bunch of retailers just stocked up on the ZX43. Same shape, 8.3g as opposed to the 6.4g that the 40 is if you're after something heavier.
Good video brother 👍 I will keep your son in my prayers cause that's serious what happened to him it beautiful to have a family and your a excellent father God bless you and your family 🙏🙏🙏
My dad ended up cutting his finger with a pocket knife while trying to strip some wiring and cut it to the bone. Us guys have such an issue with our egos that we often think we won't need any help and avoid going to the doc to get proper treatment. Dad didn't go to the doc straight away and his finger ended up getting much worse to the point where he has permanent nerve damage. If he could have just gotten to the doc early they would have more than likely had a better outcome through some surgery. Lesson learned!
When you kids ask forore fresh fish your on to a winner and a decent parent for not just flooding them. Junk. Send love to you boy for a quick recovery
yeah there are some fishmeat they say that helps heal wounds faster, tho he should be careful nxt time, just follow whatever the doctor told you, looking fordward to see you with your paps fishing adventures 💪💪💪
Briggsy if you use soft plastic or Fishing on the were the bottom is sand you still use long leader until the knot on between the first guide and second guide? I use ultralight tackle I little bit scary the knot gonna pull the ring guide or break the top section guide or rod.
Hi Mate, i've got mates who even spin for Tuna/Mackerel where they don't cast their FG because they want an extra 5m casting distance, so they'll only have a 1.5m-2m leader and they catch amazing fish. So I think it's totally fine to cast onto the sand light tackle with a short leader as well!
Great cooking the flathead for your son, in Asian culture flat heads are good for making fish soup and is used for people who have had surgery as they are believed to have medicinal properties.
Hi Mate, there's black ones in stock but no green. Not sure if can get stuff from china for a fair while tho so fully donno when green will be back instock!
Wow mate he was one lucky fella that it didn't get left any longer, glad he is ok. You are lucky your kids like the fish you catch, my family won't eat any of the fish I catch but that's ok it means more for me 😉😁 great vid mate keep up the great work, look for forward to your drag setting video you are very informative 👌👍🎣
Hi Mate I can’t remember exactly but I had a look at the vid and I reckon they were boiled for about 5min, strained then put in the baking tray with olive oil salt and pepper and turned once or twice over an hour or so on 180-200 Celsius 👍
Wish your son fast recovery. My son almost lost his finger cause he stuck it in the disk brake when i had my mountain bike laid down upside down. So anyways wish fast recovery.
G'day Everyone, if you watch for the Catch n Cooks they now live here

Bud that hook trick for soft plastics has been extremely helpful! Perfect presentation every time!
Glad it was helpful Mate!
Wishing the best of luck for your son. He's such a strong kid. Smiling big knowing his life was in danger. Brave brave man. Cheers brother. Great Vid.
The "Healing Power of Flathead" !!! GOLD
Hope the little fella recovers fully !!!
Love how you are teaching and giving your kids awesome foods, fish is the best. The ocean is an amazing place. Top dad points briggsy👍🏻
A quick and successful recovery for your son. What a champion son and father!

The froth and energy just doesn’t change from ledges chasing bangers to up the creeks, i love it man🤙
So sad that he got hurt but so glad hes going to be ok! Glad they enjoyed the fish and the rest of the meal you made. You are an amazing dad. 😊💜
Amazing how much your son looks like you Briggsy.. I’m sure he’ll grow up to be an amazing young man with you as his dad

mostly fish for carp and zander there? my girlfriend's family is Szeged so I've been a few times and have had the halaszle which is good
Hi from Gold Coast, Australia! Come over once to fish around our beautiful East Coast! Very different compare to Hungary, I grow up by the River Kőrös.
Wow Bro that is insane about the young fella how one little cut can be so life threatening, wishing the best for a speedy recovery. Stay safe.

Ai Briggs, strongs for your son. Pray he will recover ASAP and that you will be fishing together in no time

What a good dad
You’re an awesome Dad Briggsy.... i admire the way you are preparing food for the kids... 😎😎😎😎😎
Spooning the oil over top, have always done it! But we cook ours in butter, salt and pepper and spoon it over just before serving🤤🤤
'Snap out of it mate, they're pretty good"

Much love and many blessings to you and your son I'm glad he's okay
Briggs really enjoying watching these vids

Glad Sonny’s feeling better Briggsy!!
It’s good to see your doing well kanaida lucky you didn’t loose your finger best of luck
Looks like the young fella will be back in no time judging by how much he enjoyed that flatty.
A bunch of retailers just stocked up on the ZX43. Same shape, 8.3g as opposed to the 6.4g that the 40 is if you're after something heavier.
Gee wizz, poor little fella. Hope he makes a speedy recovery! Not gonna lie you had me checking all my fishing cuts on my fingers! :O lol

8:53 Dad joke warning...Boom!
Hope your boy recovers well man. Need that finger for casting ;)
Brother invest in a non stick (chef inox) pan. It’s what us chefs use, less oil and no sticking fish to pan . 😁 coconut oil worth a try to.
Briggsy, if you can get your hands on grape seed oil, takes fish to another level.
Briggsy if you use soft plastic or Fishing on the were the bottom is sand you still use long leader until the knot on between the first guide and second guide? I use ultralight tackle I little bit scary the knot gonna pull the ring guide or break the top section guide or rod.

@@Briggsy thanks again Briggsy you really help out. Thanks mate 👍
Great cooking the flathead for your son, in Asian culture flat heads are good for making fish soup and is used for people who have had surgery as they are believed to have medicinal properties.
Maybe you should keep two Flathead next time, your children are growing up fast !!! Awesome vids. and plenty of good rest for your son. Cheers ;)
Hope the lad heals up quick✌️
You can definitely tell he's your Son, spitting image.
