The man bro always have been! grew up watching you now 33 and still love watching you, put kiwi's on the map keep up the great work bro!!!! Western Aus
Cheers! One of the best Snapper fights ever filmed! Can't believe that I'm seeing this now for the FIRST time. Props to you -I could feel that buzz right with you. Nothing like that feeling of bringing a monster fish to the boat on less than desired size tackle. @0 Lb mono baby. Nicely done mate!
Hello Sir! I have been looking for a very Instructional Step by step rigging for fish,, Then I Came across your video and was curious about the "stray lining" title as I have not heard of that name here in Florida USA. and I can say you are a very well instructor in the subject and Well presented instructional video!! I would like to thank you for your time and for the well inform class and please make more videos about fishing and the equipment too, so please have a good day and take care,, Sincerely Max.
Tying the bottom hook on first, then tying the snell, allows super accurate spacing. And if you want to significantly increase the strength of a Uni knot - pass the line through the eye of the hook twice before tying the knot and dont forget the spit before tightening
Hey Matt. HI from Christchurch. I think you should do some more teaching sessions! You seem to catch big fish when doing them. Remember the jigging session with a big Kingie or the PR knot and instant Trevally? I certainly appreciate your teaching sessions very much. I rewatch and rewatch them! Thanks for the great content!
Well done! Came across your video and was curious about the "straylining" title as I have not heard of that name here in the USA. Well presented instructional video, and wow what a snapper. You have my respect letting her go. We call that CPR here - Catch, Photo, Release.
Brilliant. If you're recreationally fishing to catch over here in New Zealand, it's customary for most to let the first fish go to Tangaroa (the God of the Sea and progenitor of Fish; since maori creation traditions). Then go for sizable catches, not too small or too large for most fish to help keep local fisheries sustainable. It's well worth a trip here just to catch fish and collect shellfish, our seafood is some of the best in the world!
What a SNAPPER !!!!!! Could not believe that, you just showed us how to rig, cast out, and BAM !!!!! Well Done (as you guys say) BRO !!!! Cheers "Down Under Mike"
Looks great. Re the snell, I find it a bit easier to tie the end hook first then the other hook as it helps to get the required distance correct. Of course that means the leader must be tied to a swivel or afterwards to the braid or mono main line afterwards as the long end needs to be free to pull through.
You deserve to fight the big fish and always awesome to see them go back. Great sustainability only take what you need and have fun fighting the beast.
Love watching theses to pick up tips. Any chance of taking someone out there MATT?? I have underlaying health issues and miss my fishing as I haven't been out for over 6 months due to cancer treatments. I miss my fishing
That was awesome Matt, awesome!!! Got me pumped just watching that I’m going to sleep now and dream of catching big stonka’s like that good manners too you said please🤣🤣🤣it always pays to have good manners.

Problably this is best fishing video I have ever seen. Thank you
Add a small bead above the lumo tube abd jam a toothpick in it and snap it off either side. This bead can be jammed down to stop the lumo tube sliding up keeping your bait positioned how you want it for longer
BeRad I have watched this episode so many times. Matt your enthusiasm is infectious. Keep up the good work. Have you anything in the pipeline in the way of new shows to be aired on Australian TV in 2018/2019
What a fantastic video. Informative and entertaining. How many wraps do you use on your uni knots? How’d you hurt your finger? I’ve given myself many a cut rushing to get a bait in the water haha
Another great video ! I wanted to ask, when deep dropping for queen snapper would you recommend using some large baits as you are using such a whole ballyhoo or a large slab of fish ? I use smaller pieces of squid, it works but probably could work even better ? Thanks Mate !
We use a rod around 7ft, and mono between 20-30lb. Heres a spin set review www.ultimatefishing.tv/home/video/484/baitrunner-8000-oc-combo-review and here is an overhead review www.ultimatefishing.tv/home/video/465/snapper-combo-review. Hope that helps.
Matt is a dead set legend. His bait rigging tips helped me land my PB land based pink Snapper @ 72cm 2019 WA metro. Yea he went back swimming too.
This is 'The Best' video for snapper setup in action with basics of setting up the rig to final catch with the same setup... Thanks man
Man I’ve watched this half a dozen times over the years and it keeps getting better 🤙

That fish was on the pay role, lol.

Agreed. Great video though :)
i leave the top hook free and just tie the bottom one so you can chop and change between the size of baits you use
You deserve to fight the big fish and always awesome to see them go back. Great sustainability only take what you need and have fun fighting the beast.
Love watching theses to pick up tips.

Thnk u a lot sir. Realy an amazing video. Ive learn a lot from it. Very good explanation.
Best video I have seen.. I felt like I was catching the fish 👍🏾😂
Thanks for showing the whole fight with that horse.
Add a small bead above the lumo tube abd jam a toothpick in it and snap it off either side. This bead can be jammed down to stop the lumo tube sliding up keeping your bait positioned how you want it for longer
thank you master for sharing you easy way knots to catch snapper
Absolutely outstanding
Having a bait lesson leading to catching a whopper snapper,
Can’t plan that,,
👌
Freakin mean! I’ve been in the US the last 8 years and straylining for snapper is one of the things I really miss.
Very clear and informative. Thank you.
Interesting video. I like the passion and enthusiasm of the guy👍👍🙏🙏
That was awesome. Can you please do a video on how to choose a spot? What to look for Etc?
Excellent video! Showing us from start to finish and every aspect. Keep it up with those videos! A bit late to the party haha.

You sir are a good man letting that beast of a snapper go, cause dam the taste good.
The smaller fatter ones taste better, these big ones aren't as tasty and are the best breeders.
Great video from start to finish !!! Thanks...
Wow.....I really enjoyed....what a fantastic and realistic catch
16:25 my kids ask me "mom what are you watching?? I heard "moaning... aohhh...ohhh men ohh shit..." 🤪
Luv your work bro! old to fishing, new to snapper fishing, good tips, good vid, chur
What a fantastic video. Informative and entertaining.
How many wraps do you use on your uni knots? How’d you hurt your finger? I’ve given myself many a cut rushing to get a bait in the water haha
NIce Instructional Video and bonus Fish at the end,,great Job, u guys are the best.
Good on ya putting him back
From one snapper head to another, good job bro from Tampa, FL USA
nice video mate!
Great information on rigging dead baits. We don't take that kind of care here (Texas Gulf of Mexico) but I'll be it makes a difference.
Troy Kingi just casually on a boat hahaha low key as
Great information and even Better catch and release!
Awesome bro! I was pulling that fish in with ya lol.
Bro you’re a dead set legend
Good video re rig set up ! Also I could feel your adrenaline during the catch 👍
You make awesome videos
Thanks for the information. I learn a lot here.
Luv fishing.
very good fishing style good bless you mean
How come your not using braid?
What the sufix 21 like?
Thanks
Thanks, I'll try
GREAT VIDEO
Great video with great tips
Awesome good on you bro for sharing what you know so we could learn frm it cheers;
Another great video ! I wanted to ask, when deep dropping for queen snapper would you recommend using some large baits as you are using such a whole ballyhoo or a large slab of fish ? I use smaller pieces of squid, it works but probably could work even better ? Thanks Mate !
R u serious?
Thanks for the information bro 😎
Great catch & release.
What pound braid do you use?
Check out fluorocarbon vs mono for leader. Mono is better for abrasion resistance and knot strength.
Fluorocarbon is a gimmick
Nice fish looks like a sweetlip... our horse snapper here in OZ develop a knob on top of their heads .....we call those knobbys
So do most of ours,even a few much smaller snapper have bump heads.
Nice segment Mat!
Is that Troy Kingi dropping that 20lb snapper?
Look out for the snapper buzz more addictive than a cigarette haha
NICE VIDEO. NICE TECHNIQUES. VERY INTERESTING.
good very good bro....
Good Job My Brother
nice video pro
ilove you channel
Do ya uni knot first then the snell easier to set the hook distance when tying
FLYFISHO I love it when people give Matt Watson advice.
I swear by these set ups
Tie the uni first the slide second hook on for snood=easier
Awesome vid, awesome fish too TY cheers

We use a rod around 7ft, and mono between 20-30lb. Heres a spin set review www.ultimatefishing.tv/home/video/484/baitrunner-8000-oc-combo-review and here is an overhead review www.ultimatefishing.tv/home/video/465/snapper-combo-review. Hope that helps.
