    What an Absolute Classic Show, Thanks Guys, that was so much fun. Really appreciate the effort you put into our Sunday night TV Sammy. Ended up being a three beer show👍

    Sammy! You should tell Shawno that he gets more excited on your channel than he does on his 4x4 channel. I’m thinking he needs to switch careers! Fantastic job this week legends!

    In a word epic ! First sword and you hook him, lose him, hook him again and he charges the boat at the end. Could not have scripted it any beer. Cheers mates and well done !

    Well done lads, lovely boat Shawn, once had a 40 Blackwatch as my most loved out to sea ride her name was BustedUp, purchased her when I seperated from my second wife 😂😂 appropriately named huh.
    Never did get as far into the 4x4 scene as you and the others have, definitely on my second life list after watching the 24/7 videos.
    Sammy as always your a special man also, I love your fishing adventures, maybe soon we will see you with Shawno in some 4x4 trips where you boys can follow the fishing up the coast, lots of great places on the Aussie coast from Bribie Island to the Cape you could make a great adventure.

    Sword is incredible, probably the best tasting fish I can think of. Always enjoy the vids of you and Shauno heading out wide. I definitely approve of the wood fire for cooking it, none of this has nonsense for a fish like that.

  • @benchivers1755
    @benchivers1755 5 місяців тому +2

    I have a sneaky suspicion that you actually hooked the big squid first and that’s why there wasn’t much weight and it was a weird bite. I think that when you thought you lost the fish was actually the big squid being eaten and then he came back to finish it off. That explains how fresh the squid was and why it was hanging out his mouth

    @jasonscutella2549 5 місяців тому

    It wouldn't surprise me if that fish spat that hook before the gaff was used? You know your into the video when your watching it with a smile on your face. The only shit part is not tasting the steaks at the end. 😂 well done lads. epic! Love the deep water stuff for sure.

  • @geo4256

    You're going to have to get one of those 2ft long deep squid jigs. I think a humboldt squid would be pretty amazing catch. Can't wait to see you get out for another sea mt trip!

    Shawno has a well-deserved blessed life. Now I know why 24/7 is seeing less of him lately. He's been bit by the saltwater bug, I suspect. It gets worse the further and deeper out you go, it seems. It starts at shore surf casting. The next thing you know, you bought a bigger boat as your accountant mentioned something about a bathroom and bedroom to become a "write off" what one of those are. Nice work as alway shawn.

    Been after a swordie for a few years myself, but so far only lots of pomfret and occasional oil fish.
    Are you guys using a break away weight? Is there any other weight on the rig once the weight comes off?
    Congrats on your first Gold Coast Sword, what a little pig to scarf that big squid and still come back for your little snack size one, what a little guts! 38kg is a great starter size, and great gaff shot from Sammy for his contribution:) tidy work boys, your persistence paid off!

  • @michaelhall5429
    @michaelhall5429 5 місяців тому
