Amazing video. In absolute awe of both of your skills to land a couple of monster fish. The end result looked absolutely mouth watering. Good to see Michael has got a full head off teeth again too!
Awesome footage! I love how Michael sounds so calm in the midst of the fish fight. Then Jesses excitement is insanely contagious 😂😂. Thanks for all the delicious 🐠 🤤
Yuuuge fish! Congrats. WTF is wrong with the algorithm that it hasn’t put your awesome content in front of everyone? Your channel should be much much bigger. Your content is second to none and we couldn’t ask for better representatives of Aussies enjoying the ocean. I hope your channel gets the views it deserves.
Thank you for the kind words Tony. Now if only we could get that algorithm to swing in our favour so we could do this full time 🤪 time to put Michael in a bikini 😂
@@sailingpopao you’d do better if he was in the bikini with a nice gap back in the teeth, just sayin…. a swift right to his jaw and your troubles are over! But seriously, we watch in awe of what you guys do. And I honestly can’t think of better representation for our country. Your vids are much anticipated here…. thank you for sharing your beautiful life, surroundings, and adventures with us all.
Been checking for new vid's weekly, Suffering from Sailing Popao deprivation. 😂 Great catch pleased their is no jealousy. Have a Great stay and a return to Freedom. Thank You. 😉😀
Best video yet guys !! ….and that’s a BIG call ! Awesome work Jess, and love seeing you two working together for a joint passion. Michael has pole position most times but Jess just blew it out of the water with this one !! ……awesome video, still grinning as I’m typing this ……
Love the content. Please give more info on types of fish and invertebrates and population dynamics on your dive sites. Here in Nova Scotia our brief summer sailing season has started . Surface temperature 11C offshore inshore near beaches 20C. So we envy your wonderful environment
Thanks Harry, will keep that in mind for sure this coming season. To give you an idea the water was between 28-30 so we were cooking in those wetsuits 😂
Just stumbled across your channel. This is my third vid. You guys have got your recipe right. Nice down to earth people and excellent videography. Looks like you have a new fan! 😉
I love you guys. Such a epic day. What a day. You made me a good laugh in the airport when I saw the thank you pop up hahahaha can't wait to see what's coming
Great job guys, one heck of a fish. We really appreciate your efforts to share your adventure's and thoughts. Congratulations again, from your fans here in the central Florida swamps. GOOD ON YA. 👍🏻👍🏻💕🐾🐟
Amazing fish of a life time only just found you guys got lots of watching to do love the process and cook and thanks for not filming you in your underwear 😂
Hey Mitch, we had these ones sprayed professionally by a company in Brisbane. The highfield dealer organised it for us. Our original ones we used vinyl spray paint but they didn’t last long.
@@sailingpopao That's awesome. As for me, I'm moving forward on an aluminum catamaran build. I've got a list of prices for the marine grade aluminum, mast, boom, rigging, electronics and all the other components I need. The plans to build it are 5k usd. The hull build is a six month process and the fit out is about a year. I'm just looking for a good place to build it.
Congratulations Jess & Taka! Amazing fish. Looked so prehistoric underwater.
Cheers mate, yes it certainly does. I’ve never been so anxious about pulling the trigger in all of my life 😳😳
WOW, very impressive catch for both of you! 🏆
Amazing video. In absolute awe of both of your skills to land a couple of monster fish. The end result looked absolutely mouth watering. Good to see Michael has got a full head off teeth again too!

Thanks Barbie 😊 hoping the next episode wont be as far away! Thanks for watching
LOve your vids. Could tell me what type of drone you use please
Thanks Glyn, we use a mavic mini 3 pro. It’s so easy to travel with.
Just wondering what type of rego stickers you use on your inflatable?
Cheers
Hey Mitch, we had these ones sprayed professionally by a company in Brisbane. The highfield dealer organised it for us. Our original ones we used vinyl spray paint but they didn’t last long.
How much did that dogtooth tuna end up weighing? 60 kilo's equals 132 lb's. Congratulations Jess. That's a monster.
Cheers Robert! We called it about 55ish.
@@sailingpopao Is that the largest Doggy you've had on your boat and that you've ever speared?
Yes it’s the biggest doggy on Popao and bigger than any doggy either of us have shot before. Michael biggest was 35 in Tonga or Indo from memory.
@@sailingpopao That's awesome. As for me, I'm moving forward on an aluminum catamaran build. I've got a list of prices for the marine grade aluminum, mast, boom, rigging, electronics and all the other components I need. The plans to build it are 5k usd.

How do you know we're to hunt tuna??
Lot's of years experience, we will do an episode on it this year.
Still doing crazy shit 😂
Your missus has got some stones takky your on dishes and laundry
😂
