Alright fellas, we're out today at this nice creek system.
We're here with Connor and Alex, we're just going for a quick walk because we're going
to put two crab pots out with the carcasses that we caught from the last episode, the
coral trout and Connor, what was that other fish?
Grasslip.
It's a grasslip.
I'll show you guys what it looks like anyway.
We're going to go for a bit of a walk on this track.
I reckon we'll put one here, what do you reckon?
In there?
I reckon like in the water.
Sweetlip?
Sweetlip, yeah.
Something.
Something like that, yeah.
Yeah, that's perfect.
Let's chuck it in.
Ooh, that stinks, doesn't it?
Yeah.
Chuck it there.
Don't want to touch the crab.
Midges are good here.
There's ******* midges, bro.
There's no crocs here.
Hopefully not anyway.
Look at Connor go, man.
Connor's already getting his on.
Let's see if they like some coral trout.
So I'll come back tomorrow afternoon to check in here.
Look how black that water is.
So I want to buy one lure, because remember in the previous episode when we were trawling
at the double island and the fish was sitting around five to six metres, so I want to get
a lure that dives around the same amount of depth as those fish were sitting, so around
say the eight to the nine metre mark.
So I bought this one and I broke it.
I caught the mango jack on that, so I'm going to buy another one.
Oh, ----.
That's not good.
Filling up these two jerry cans, because today we're going out to another island.
I've never been to this island before.
I've got to wash the ******* boat down now.
I've got fuel everywhere.
Just in case.
What's going on here, man?
Just in case.
A lot of people have been telling me to take fuel with me today, so we're going to take
fuel.
I don't know.
It doesn't look as far as double island looks, but it's an island just out of D-Roll boat
ramp, the mouth, and that's where we're going.
Look what I've done here.
I've got to rinse it all, boys.
We're also going to need to take a bag of ice, because last time we went with Connor,
the fish started to get a little bit hot.
It gets so hot on the boat, so we need that ice just to be secure and safe.
No recording, buddy.
Sorry?
No recording.
I'm not allowed to record?
Okay.
Beautiful.
I want to quickly show you how busy Cairns is, what they're doing and how much work they're
actually pumping into Cairns.
Everywhere is literally roadworks here.
Yeah, this is nothing.
All the way up this road, check it all out.
They put a new Woolworths.
There's a new estate in there that's new.
Come here, Rocco.
Rocco, come here.
Here, now.
Come here.
Super paranoid with Rocco here, because there is crocodiles everywhere.
People are telling me that's what I want him to do.
Good boy.
People are like D-Roll is the worst place for crocs in Cairns, so I'm going to keep
him on a tight leash, even though I don't have a leash, but you boys know what I mean.
Oh, Rocco, big piece, huh?
Yeah?
Big one?
Quick Rocco for the boat goes.
Come here.
Quick.
God, this is so sketchy.
Come here now.
Good boy.
This is where the fear kicks in.
I always get nervous when I'm about to go out.
There's no wind.
The weather is supposed to be good all day today, all day tomorrow and Sunday.
So, God, please watch over us.
Thank you.
I feel a bit safer anyway that I got.
I think I've seen something big in this little cave in here.
Yeah, I was tripping out.
Wind's dawn.
I'm going to head out there.
I've never been out here before, so let's see how we go.
We made it out safe.
We might go to High Island first, and then we can go to all these islands here.
High Island, I think that's the one there.
So, we'll go to that one first.
Muck around there.
Nothing there.
We'll go to them.
All right, fellas.
We're already marking fish.
I did show you.
This is what I bought yesterday.
Check this out.
Look at the size of that lure.
We're going to use that lure as well.
We're going to trawl to this island now.
Watch how good this thing swims now.
Straight down.
Look at that.
Beautiful.
One out.
Look at these fish.
It is just over 10 meters deep.
I've got a good feeling about today.
I reckon one of these rods are going to scream hard.
Hopefully, it's just some of the bigger lure.
This rod goes all right, too.
Nothing happening on the sounder at all.
No marks, no nothing.
All these boats are just heading out to the reef.
We'll just kick back at these little islands.
There's the island.
Still nothing, and the sounder's not lit at all.
He's dried up, man.
You all right, brother?
Your G?
The wind's picking up a little bit.
Got to keep an eye out for that wind, too.
We'll see what the weather's doing,
but if the weather allows us to shoot down there to those islands,
that's exactly what we're going to do.
Wagon, ho!
Haven't heard that in a while.
All right.
Thank you, rocker.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Tomorrow, we are meeting up with, I can't remember his name,
but Uncharted.
That's right.
His name's Uncharted.
He has a YouTube channel.
We're going out with him tomorrow for mud crabs.
Hopefully crayfish.
We're going to fish as well.
We're going to walk the low tide in the mouth,
so that will be fun.
We're going to explore, so I'm excited for that as well.
And this is why I don't know if I'm going to bring Rocco anymore.
It's just too hot for him.
I even bought a bag of ice today.
That's how confident I am.
All right.
Sounder's looking better as we're getting closer.
Here we go.
Come on.
Something's bound to happen, man.
The wind's picking up a little bit now.
Getting a bit worried.
Just need one of them to smash one of these rods, man.
I don't care what rod goes off now.
Something's happening here.
What is this?
Oh, my God.
There's something down here.
These rods are going to go.
We should have cast into them.
Look there.
They're still bubbling up.
Roc, relax.
I think we're on here, Roc.
We're going to hook up.
Should have stopped and flicked lures in there.
Shit.
Fuck.
Here we go.
That's a good sign, man.
Very, very good sign.
That's what you want to see.
Looks like there's a reef up here, too.
Oh, yeah.
Look at this.
That's very, very good, man.
Look at this.
I don't know if you can see that.
It's beautiful.
Coral, everything.
Man, it looks amazing.
That's absolutely beautiful.
Just seeing these fellas over here.
They've been trawling as well.
Looks like nothing yet.
-------, where is this fish, man?
Look at this.
Look at them all.
Look at the fish behind me.
Why can't we hook up?
Did you see this fish or what?
I've seen fish come to the back of the boat, the front of the boat.
I don't know.
I'm not sure what they are.
They're just not taking any of these lures.
Woo.
If that is not fish, what is, man?
What is?
All right, fellas.
I know why Rocco was crying.
Just did a massive ----, and I had to use my undies to clean it all.
It's ******* diarrhea, man.
Roc, you took me ---- on the deck.
Still smell ---- in the boat.
------- hell.
Look how insane this looks, boys.
I'd say we've done half a lap of this island so far.
And I reckon that one there, this one ran for like three seconds,
then stopped.
So, yeah, it must have pulled the hook or something.
That's perfect, man.
Here we go.
Come on.
Let's see what happens.
They're perfect marks.
Come on, baby.
Yeah, bro.
I got a hit.
You give it up, bro.
Yes.
Oh, I think we snagged.
Just a reef.
No fish.
I think that's a fish.
Well, that's a reef.
Still no luck.
------- my ass is killing me now on this seat.
The wind's picked up.
We're going to start heading in.
I don't want to get caught out here with really strong winds.
So we're going to go back, and if we see anything on the way back
or any marks, I'll stop and trawl.
The most water I've had in the boat in a long time, man.
Brown ---- color from Rocco.
So we're making our way to the mud crab pots.
The sun's gone down finally.
The wind's dropped completely as well.
Rocco's sneezing at home.
Yeah, we'll see if there's anything in the mud crab pots.
There's a fish in there.
Same rate.
Two minutes in there, man.
I got ******* mauled by mozzies.
Oh, there's one in there.
So I'm going to leave that mud crab in there
because I know if there's other mud crabs in there,
it attracts other mud crabs.
So we'll leave him in there,
and then tomorrow I'll come check that one again.
This morning, we've got Connor again,
and we're going to go pick up, I think his name's Adam.
Hopefully we can get a mud crab, crayfish, fish,
or just have fun, just whatever happens, happens.
Look at this sunrise, man.
It's ******* off its head.
I was just saying to Connor,
obviously I went fishing yesterday,
and fishing in Victoria,
when I got, I didn't tell you guys,
but when I got home yesterday,
I felt like I was going to faint and be like,
just felt really weak and like I was going to faint.
And I didn't drink much water yesterday,
but I never felt,
and I used to do the same in Victoria,
but I never felt like this when I used to get back.
It's just the heat, it's so ******* different,
and it's, yeah, it just felt like I was going to faint.
Yeah, it's heat stroke.
When there's fog like that,
do you know what that means?
There's no wind.
All right, fellas,
so I want to show you how much fuel this took yesterday.
These are different, aren't they?
This has got balls, this one.
This is pretty bad,
but I haven't cleaned my windscreen
since I did the trip from Melbourne to Queensland.
Mate, it's so dirty.
Nah, it's clean now.
6.48 in the morning,
and it's already what, 23 degrees?
Yeah, something like that, yeah.
The sun, man, it's just pumping out.
31, no wind.
94% humidity.
Is that a lot?
Yeah, that's up there.
What's the highest humidity you've had?
I don't know.
All right, fellas, we've made it out,
and we've picked up Adam, yeah?
Yeah, Adam.
From Uncharted?
Yeah, Uncharted.
He's got a YouTube channel.
It's called Uncharted.
I'll put it here and go check it out.
Sub to him.
So what are you saying?
They've built this bridge.
There's a big croc that stays over here,
and there's so many tourist accidents on the bridge
that they've built a footbridge here
because he lays on that bank over there.
So we'll see if he's there.
Look, he's sitting there.
I don't know if you guys can see him.
There's a bigger one than that, too.
There's a bigger one than that?
Yeah, way bigger than that.
That's probably like an almost four metre croc.
I wonder if it's here somewhere, eh?
That one's like another metre and a bit bigger than that.
What's the length of your boat?
Wait till you see the other one if you think that one's big.
I've seen a big one at D-Rail, bro.
Yeah.
But I don't know how big this one is that you're talking about.
The other one's probably like from this tree here,
that one in the water to like that rock.
Holy ----.
It's like a massive.
If you push it four metres, it's just over.
He's sitting in the water, but his tail there.
Yeah.
------- Adam's got us jaded, man.
I feel like we're actually going to catch something today, eh?
Or get something, you know?
We always ******* catch, man.
I wonder what's...
I haven't actually been up here.
Not really.
Oh, 27 now.
Might even have to reverse it from back there.
This track looks a bit fucked, doesn't it?
If you stay on this side, it's pretty clear.
Yeah, if I come down here.
Just follow it around, you'll be right through.
That's pretty neat here.
Yeah, so we've got to go in right here.
Oh, the water's actually pretty clear.
The tracks are pretty clear.
Fair high tide, it's up there, so it's a bit better, but...
It's pretty solid, though.
Mud skipper.
Yeah.
Nice.
What do you reckon?
This is a bit, um...
Pretty decent?
Yeah, nice.
It'd be a bit rough, though.
Bit worried to stand next to the water.
Just seen a ******* croc 500 metres up.
Is this 50 plus?
Yeah.
That's what I wanted to get.
I think I need zinc.
Zinc's good.
You want sunscreen?
Nah, I've got some in here, bro.
Zinc in my arm.
Did you put some on, Connor?
Yeah, this morning when I was laying on your driveway.
He's, like, tanning on your driveway, waiting for you.
Man, I slept in this morning.
Connor...
Tucked my hair up under me for a pillow and went back to sleep.
Fuck my hair, bro.
Great, bro.
I was supposed to be up at five.
I slept in till what?
What time did I get up?
Six?
Nah, 5.30 at least.
Nah, yeah, 5.30.
Six.
We left at quarter past six.
If you're bait fishing, don't put sunscreen on your hands, because if you touch the bait
with it, the fish can actually smell it, so they probably, like, you've got less chance
of getting a bite kind of thing.
How crazy is that?
And it is strong.
Yeah, it's oily, like, it's artificial.
They will know.
And when you put it, when you wash your hands in the water, you see all the white go in
the water.
Yeah, spray that on, bro.
You already got hit, look.
There.
Watch out for the rods.
Yeah, just looking at them.
Yeah, you know where you're going.
Am I there, alright?
Yeah, you're alright, bro.
Alright, fellas, who's gaming up?
Get in.
I'll get in.
Yeah, go on.
Nah, you actually do have to walk out there.
It's a ******* big croc.
I'm joking about it, but there's some big crocs in here, bro.
Alright.
So, you've only got one chance to get even, so make sure you choose it wisely.
Yeah, make sure you say, GoPro, start recording.
What's that across there?
I thought that was almost just a log.
Fuck, they look like logs, yeah?
Yeah.
Yeah, that's a croc swimming down there, see it?
You reckon?
Yeah.
Yeah, that's a croc.
I don't want to walk out into that deep water.
It's beautiful, that wind once you start moving, yeah?
I didn't tell you the plan today.
So, right now, Adam's setting up the crab pots.
We're going to go out, throw these out on the way out.
Go for a walk with some mud crabs.
See if we can't get one for ourselves barehanded.
If there's a hole there, we're going to learn with...
Adam's going to teach us, because he's grabbed a few out of the hole.
So, he's just going to show us the ropes and just see what we can find.
Is that tip of it?
Yeah, I don't know, look down the crab hole.
I think that was your finger.
Yeah, I've had regular finger.
Look at the bus, there's bus stops everywhere, man.
Yeah.
Look, I'll put the go...
What is that swimming there?
What is that?
I can't really see.
They're fish, eh?
I'm going to get sussies out.
This, man, this is ******* living room, boys.
This is sick.
Hey.
Of course, my ******* girlfriend.
Oh, look at him.
Look sick where they're going.
He's shot under.
There's one there.
Look at that bird, man.
I love this sort of ----.
We're out.
No ******* way, brother.
A bit to let some scent in there.
Yeah, that's nice.
See, I'd normally put it through the gills, but that's even a better idea.
That's a bit better than what I do.
Well, at least this rod's going to ******* take off, boys, I'm telling you.
I'll take yous around and we'll see the croc, see the big crocs there.
And if he's not there, see where that tree is in the water?
That's where we're stopping to get out and look for crabs.
With the croc right next door?
Yeah.
Right next door.
With your hands going in first.
------- hell.
Shouldn't have came with this man.
Nah.
We should have fun.
Today's going to be a good day.
So he comes out on this bank over here.
We're going to be walking literally like 300 metres on the other side.
Right there with it.
On the mangroves.
With more crabs than that, so.
Alright, fellas, the croc wasn't there, so keep your eyes out when we're walking now
because we might bump into him here.
Should we fly the drone over to make sure there's nothing around him?
Turtle bone?
Yeah, that's part of a turtle.
That's like, I don't know, a belly plate sort of thing.
With the shells made of.
That's thick, isn't it?
Yeah, bro, you'll find heaps of them in here.
We're off.
And the reef's only just here, like, so you can't see it.
But when it gets low tide, you'll see it there.
This is awesome.
Sorry, can I just explain something quickly?
My big thing that I love to do, that I've always wanted to do, is walk flats like this.
I just find it so ******* interesting.
Look at that, there we go.
He'll probably curl up, yeah, once he gets near him.
What is that?
I don't know, put it somewhere.
There's a bubble.
That's confident, eh?
Keep an eye out, Connor, you're on croc duty, bro.
They're on mangrove jack.
They're on mangrove jack, bro.
Are they?
Look at all this fish life, eh?
This is gangster, eh?
This is absurd, bro.
So what we're looking for is basically, you want to look up under the mangroves?
Yeah, because they'll stick to the mangroves.
That one was out in the open.
Oh, look at that one fish.
There's ******* fish everywhere here.
Look at these fish, man.
100%, they'll be everywhere.
Just got to keep your wits about you.
Do you know who told me that?
Who?
Me, eh?
Yeah, just got to keep your wits about you, bro.
Bro, we're like ages from the boat.
We're done for.
When do you get chased, brother?
It's nice knowing you.
Imagine Brent right now.
Yeah, Brent, if you're watching.
Imagine you right now.
Fuck it, eh?
You're worse than Rocco, bro.
Running away.
He's gone.
Oh, is there a crab hole there?
Yeah, there's a crab.
It's in there.
He just went in.
Where abouts?
That's a crab hole there.
Holy ----.
I don't know if that's a crab hole.
We're going to be careful in here, yeah, Crocs, eh?
Crocs, crabs.
So you reckon he went in here?
Yeah, that's a crab hole.
So is this.
Oh, he did too.
Adam's going to put his hand in there or get this crab out.
I said to him, just use the stick, bro.
Let's just grab.
Let's just grab a stick, brother.
And Adam's like, we're locals around here, man.
Nah.
Adam still.
Adam says in the car he still gets a bit nervous.
See him come out?
You don't see that?
Nah.
Fuck, bro.
He's a big crab, too.
There, there.
See his legs?
You ready?
Right here.
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, I see.
I don't know.
Be careful.
-------, this stresses me out, brother.
Oh, it's a male, brother.
I thought it was a female, bro.
Look at that.
I think there's two in there.
Small nippers on it, though.
That's sick.
Beautiful.
That's a male.
No, you can see by the triangle apron, it's a male.
He's got really small nippers, though, so.
Yeah, big body, bro.
Yeah, if it's like that, he's probably lost his nippers when he was younger and they've regrown.
Beautiful size.
Yeah, he actually might be size, bro.
That's a pretty decent size.
Nah, there's one in the boat, bro.
Quick, Luke, quick.
Size of this thing.
Another one.
What's that?
There's another one there.
See how big this one is.
Do you feel him?
Oh, you got him.
Wait, it's alive.
I thought it was dead.
It's a little female, you can tell.
Yeah, that's the one I seen run in the hole, so I thought it was a female.
She's actually soft-shelled.
Beautiful female.
See how it's wider on the belly?
She's actually shedding her shell.
You can see it separating.
Oh, okay.
See?
Under, see there?
Yeah.
Separating.
Look at the size difference, man.
So you can get a comparison.
Male, female.
Yeah, that's...
Look at that.
Two crabs, one hole.
The odds.
So they must sit in there like...
Yeah.
I don't know how they like...
I reckon they would.
You'd get nipped.
Yeah, you will if you're not quick.
Yeah, you will get bitten, bro.
That's what I'm scared of, man.
They'll take your finger off.
Bro, he's size.
That's a size crab, bro.
I want to eat it.
You want to eat it or what?
Well, we're going to keep it.
We can let it go at the end of the day.
I can tie it up.
Size, bro.
What if we don't get another one?
We'll tie him up.
We'll see.
Yes.
We're going to...
Yeah, we'll probably eat this one up.
We'll see how we go.
Do you know what they do?
They put a stick in here.
Yeah, I've seen that.
Oh, your feet.
Watch your toes.
Oh, yeah.
I didn't even know you had a lot of it.
Can you feel him on there?
Nah, he's on my...
On the tip.
So this doesn't hurt the crab.
We're just tying him up.
Yeah.
Just so he doesn't hurt us, basically.
Basically, so if we get another one, they won't kill each other.
We're just going to chuck him in the bag.
We'll keep walking.
We'll make the most of the low tide.
And then you can hold him for a second.
Get my ******* shoe back.
That's what a shark egg looks like when it's empty.
Oh, ----.
I thought it would be a piece of seaweed or something.
Nah, it's a shark egg.
They get, like, bombygons and sleepies and all that.
So that's what they use.
They don't do live birth.
They lay eggs.
Quick, get him before he gets moving.
Yeah, good man.
Nice.
Female.
That one, too.
Oh, it's cracked.
Oh, yeah.
That's why he's in there.
Something's had a go at him.
Yeah, put him back.
Go on.
Cool little crab.
There he is.
Oh, there.
It's a female.
It's got berries.
Nah, it's not a monk crab.
Ah, it bit me.
That'll hurt, though.
Nah.
He was just sitting on top of the water here.
Damn vicious, this bastard.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
He was just sitting on top.
Just the back of his soul, man.
Go on.
Oh, ----.
Go on.
See, cucumber.
Are they alive?
Yeah, pick it up.
You can eat them, yeah?
You can, but I don't know how.
Like, I've caught monk crabs before, but, like,
still getting used to, like, getting them out of the hole.
You know what I mean?
Like that one there.
Still gotta get more confidence.
I'm not gonna bullshit.
I'm not confident.
You know what I mean?
I'm still a bit, you know, scared.
But I just gotta get used to that, yeah?
This is the ultimate thing, boys.
He said it.
He said he's finally warm.
It's hot.
Show me that sweat.
Is that sweat or water?
Bit of both, hey?
Connor never gets ******* hot.
Maybe in wet season you will.
Maybe, yeah.
But it's warm now, bro.
Yeah, it is hot now.
He's molted.
See, he's come out the back.
Lift it off.
Oh, that's just, what?
They've changed shells, hey?
Yeah, he's molted.
He's shredded.
I just had that open.
See?
He's come out.
Blue sumo, yeah?
Yeah, that's a blue sumo.
It's probably female because of the colour.
Yeah.
Why is it?
Male.
I walk around there instead of walking through the ******* middle of it.
There's a bit of movement in the water there.
Oh, it's shallower than it looks.
Yeah, it's shallow.
The water coming out of these bad boys, hey?
It's part of the reef here.
Yeah, but because it's so tusky.
Because he's placed in the mangrove, this is what it's like, bro.
It's just dirty.
We push here and it gets clearer.
Yeah, you've got to get out to dive in.
All right, let's go.
Off his head, bro.
Where?
Chase him, chase him.
Oh, look at it.
Oh, it's a big tusky, bro.
Are you going to dry fire him from the boat?
From the little one?
Nah, **** that.
There he is there.
Oh, bro.
It's such a big *******...
You'll get him.
He's staying there.
Look, he's pumped now.
Look, he can't load it any quicker.
Oh, this gun's hard to load without a wetsuit.
It's a tusky, bro.
Look at it laying on its side and everything.
You reckon I'll get him?
All right, you'll get him.
All right, so we're going to try to shoot this fish out of the water.
I think he was big.
It's a big parrotfish.
Oh, it's a big tusky, bro.
I only have my goggles on.
Fuck, that's a big tusky.
Should I just go shoot him with the goggles?
Fuck, I'm going to shoot him, bro.
He's going that way.
Ah, he's gone.
Oh, ****.
Holy quick, eh?
See, just in a trevally.
Just heaps going on.
We've seen turtles, two cod.
Look at this thing, man.
Do you want to drive in front of that bommie?
Yeah, bro.
Turn on the bommie.
Are you going to jump in?
Yeah, because if you go over the top, you'll scare the trout away.
Did you see him?
Big one?
Yeah.
We've seen two trout sitting underneath the bommie.
Trout, yeah.
Shark fin, bro, is it?
Fuck, it's a shark, man.
There's a shark just there.
Watch out for the croc.
All right, we're on.
Doesn't matter.
What is it?
It's a trout.
It's a coral trout.
Oh, no.
Yeah, it's this lure, man, with this coral trout, I swear.
Same as last week, eh?
Yeah.
First trout.
Second.
Second trout.
No, third.
Yeah, third.
Well, he's going to be legal, eh?
Nah, he's small.
Oh, he's going to be 38?
Yeah.
35.
We're not going to keep him.
But that's our little coral trout.
We'll let him go, have a little of this.
It's an indication of how much I actually sweat.
Look at my arms.
They're full of sweat.
My armpits.
All right, let's go get this crayfish.
Oh.
Look at the size of this thing, man.
That's a lot.
Fuck it off, bro.
Fuck, I want to take my goggles off so I can actually see it.
Bro, I thought he was smaller up there.
I was like, ****, he's so big.
Shut me up, man.
That's a nice cray.
Have a little of this, man.
Good spotting.
How did you see that?
So you seen that from the boat, yeah?
Yeah, yeah.
I've seen the feelers sticking out.
So you look for the feelers.
There he is.
The end result, bro.
Beautiful.
Nice and spiky, eh?
Yeah, you've got to be careful because they are spiky.
See, I broke that one.
I was trying to grab him out.
Look at the meat.
So let's check out the meat on him or her.
Look at the meat, man.
There's no swimmerets.
Beautiful.
It's male.
Female.
Oh, male, sorry.
The boys are going for a flick for a swim.
And I'm just fighting this.
Just had a few flicks.
And I hooked onto something.
Oh, there he is.
Oh, he's coming out.
The fish under the boat.
Just sitting there.
Safety, just pull that back.
That was neat, bro.
Did you see the shot?
Yeah, bro, that was neat.
Yeah, got him on his feet.
Almost brained him.
Try, dude.
Fuck, that was off his head.
Fuck, that's such a good feeling, man.
Tell us what happened.
That didn't take long, eh?
I told you that'd be so good, eh?
He went around the coral.
Then he came up and he swam past me again.
That's when I took the shot.
Oh, nice.
Nice fish.
Are these good eating?
They're good eating.
They're alright.
Yeah, it's a sweet lip.
Alright, sweet.
Stoked.
It's going to go good.
Perfect, man.
Nice fish, mate.
Thanks, brother.
Thank you.
I'm spewing.
I just lost something big.
It took me in the reef.
And I went to grab the GoPro.
And I put a bit of slack in the line.
And it come off.
I reckon it was a massive cod.
It ******* took off.
You've got to be quick here.
Because they take you straight under a rock or in a reef.
I'm going to go to the boys now.
Connor wants to shoot something.
Look at his speed so far, boys.
Check this out, man.
Fuck, look at that.
Sick.
I'm on.
I don't know what this is.
All these bigs.
I think I fell hooked in.
We've got to find out from the boys what this thing is.
Keep him or what?
Yeah, keep it, bro.
Beautiful colours on these things, man.
Nice colours.
We're going to eat him.
We'll bleed him.
I heard the boys screaming, carrying on.
They shot something.
I think Connor shot it.
Let's go and see what they've shot.
What did you get?
Bring the tucker, boys.
This is exactly what I expect the cancer to be like now.
Every second or third cast, I'm hooking up.
The boys are shooting crayfish, fish, coral trout everywhere.
We've seen so much life out here.
Same as yours.
Nice shot, man.
Well done, bro.
That's a nice fish.
Good shot.
Where was he sitting?
He was sitting just on top of the coral like that.
I took a shot.
I turned around.
I was like, oh, I think the GoPro is on.
Get it again.
Got him.
We kept telling him, if I could turn the GoPro, we could have a look.
Nice fish, man.
Well done.
We just got another one here.
Just speed it.
All right, we want predictions for these crab pots.
I reckon there's going to be one out of the two.
What do you reckon, Connor?
I reckon three.
Three?
What do you reckon?
Again, one keeper, two throwaways.
Oh, suit down.
One keeper, two throwaways, one female.
Basically, anything that you can guess, yeah?
Oh, nothing.
They don't even have to bait.
Where'd they go?
Oh, what's that?
A mullet.
A cod.
Cod.
It's illegal, that thing, eh?
Yeah.
No, I think they actually got to be 50.
If you cut it half, I'll just take half of that.
Yeah, yeah, because the tail is the easiest thing.
I'll show you the easiest way to do it, bro.
Straight up in the back.
Do you want me to meet in that head?
Yeah, I'll get it out.
Yeah, when you pulled that out, I seen its tail flab like it's pretty big.
Yeah, yeah.
See those blue bits?
Oh, yeah.
That's what you use.
That's how you get the poop out of it.
Oh, ----.
What was that?
I've done that before.
Alex would be rapt.
Bro, he should be happy now, isn't he?
Yeah, he's...
I'll wash it out for you.
Legend, bro.
I'm looking forward to eating this, man.
Eh?
Yeah, 100%.
We'll see.
I think this is your one, is it?
No, it's my one.
Do you want the skin off?
Yeah, yeah.
Look at that.
It's nice, eh?
I think you should try that.
Okay.
Sit, bro.
Feel it.
What do they feel like?
They're pretty sharp.
Thank you.
We're going to eat you.
Thank you for sacrificing us.
That's a bit better, this one.
So we use these for mud crab for bait.
Nice fillets for today.
I need a nut.
What are you going to make?
I'm going to make a garlic parsley.
I'm super wrapped.
Look what we got from today.
So I've got a box freezer that I'm going to turn on now.
And I can officially start putting fillets in the freezer.
Look at these fillets.
Already from just today.
I don't want to overdo it.
Look at this pasta sauce, man.
Watch how white that's going to turn now.
I reckon.
Yeah, you're the chef.
Yeah, turn her over.
Luke literally said that he wasn't going to eat dinner now.
He's going to eat dinner later.
So I made pasta for Ari and I.
And now what are you doing?
Smashing some pasta.
See how it's bubbling?
Makes you know that it's hot.
Delicious.
Look at this pasta.
Okay.
Look at all this meat.
Yummy?
Yum.
Yummy, yummy, yummy.
Oh my God.
That's delicious.
We're going to smash out this food.
Thank you guys for watching.
We love you so much.
