7 Days Fishing The World s Most Isolated City Perth.

Originally a small settlement built into a city on the edge of the world where the land was harsh but the ocean kept it alive and for the next seven days we'll be stepping into that same ocean in one of the most isolated cities on earth. Weather just cleared out and we got dolphins working right there. You guys see that? Already 3 p.m. How long into the fight are we? I don't even know. So wait till you see what's behind these trees. This place is pretty cool, I'm not gonna lie. First takeoffs. All right buddy, come on, we gotta get something here. Two big b-boys and eight. Let's go. Can't believe it. It was all freaking worth it, man. All right guys, so we're finally taking on our third and final city of this little down under tour. I don't know if New Zealand qualifies but we're gonna count it. We're gonna go link up with the boys when we get to the other side and this trip I think we're gonna try to prioritize big fish at least hopefully and yeah, let's get moving. I will see you on the plane. Thank you, man. Finally reuniting with the boys. Long time since I've done a fully non-solo kind of deal. You gotta be very refreshing, I'm not gonna lie. What's going on? Long time no see. We got Alex, we got Jacko. Where did Tommy come from? How are you? And then we got Luke. We got the whole crew. We're gonna get moving here. Oh thank you, I got full service. They're carrying my bags and everything, that's crazy. Oh boy. All right guys, so beginning of day two. We're here in the car park and we're unpacking all of our rods, all of our gear. I think today we're gonna head to some of the rivers, try to get a couple of smaller fish and then we might go for a drone fish later in the afternoon. Like I said, we're gonna try to prioritize bigger fish this trip but we need some form of an introduction I think first. But yeah, we're gonna get unpacked and guys, I'm freaking pumped. All right guys, so here at spot number one. We're here in Perth. I don't even know if I've told you guys that yet but we're fishing under this little bridge thing going on. I mean it looks pretty good. I hope we can find our floutie here. I really want to catch one. So I think I'm going to start with bait just to get a fish on the board and then we'll switch over. Dropper loop, weight and a sardine. Yeah, let's see what happens here. Our target species for the week is going to be a trophy of something. Whether it's a jewfish, a big snapper or something super rare. I hope we can check them off. We're going to try everything we can but it is a 25 hour flight back home so hopefully we can get some of the other guys. The current is so strong. It's like pulling my bait all the way down. Oh, we're bit. Oh, we're bit. We're bit. Missed him. It's gonna be hard to get a fish here. Yeah. I mean there's five of us, right? So surely somebody gets one. Might have a fish on here, guys. I think we're on. Yeah, we're on. Come on, baby. Is that what that is? Our first fish in Western Australia is what Luke calls a butterfish. Looks like some kind of a wrasse. The main way to distinguish these guys is the stripe going down the middle. It's actually a pretty fish. Super small and they'll grow as the trip goes on. But hey, I'm stoked. I'll take it. Okay, so one species down. Gonna be bait but we got a fish. Oh my god, dude. Guys, there are what Luke calls toadfish right under the dock here. I'll try to get them to come up. All right, Toadie, come to papa. All right, we got one. If you guys wanted to see what they were, not very exciting. I wanted to show you guys one of them. They actually got pretty gnarly teeth. But yeah, he's going straight back and then let's try to get something cooler. This spot actually looks sick. Oh, wait. Oh my god. What? No way. Look at that. Come on, give me a bite. Give me a bite. There's no fish here. I can't believe we're not even picking up a little pinky or anything, you know? I'm gonna start chunking a little bit. Oh, they're here. They're here. Someone get a bait in the water. The trevs are coming. What we're doing to get these fish to come up, I'm just chopping up all of these pillies and chunking them in the water. Hopefully, you guys can see one but under this huge pile of toadfish, we're getting a couple of trevally and I'm assuming some brim to come up. Oh, right there, right there, right there. You guys see him? Huge one. Yeah, you're bit. The Perth local is finally showing us what's up. Oh, no way. That's a big one. Good one, yeah. The reason we're doing this, there we go. Nice one. And guys, we did catch one of these in Sydney. It actually looked a little bit different. This one's more brown and the body shape is a little bit more interesting. Silver trevally. Pretty good size for the river but they do get much bigger than this. Sweet. It's in the back. Why do I keep catching the randomest sh**? What even is that? The top of the crap. Oh, sh**. It ate the bear hook. It ate the bear hook. Okay, so we got, oh, new species. You guys hear that? Western Australia has such unique species. I don't actually know what this could be. Someone can go ahead and ID this one. They're back. They're back. They're back, Tom. Oh, my God. Dude, that thing is a horse. I got one of them. Nice. Yeah, there we go. Oh, I got a black brim. I got a brim. I picked up Luke's four-pound setup and just hooked my first ever black brim and not even a bad fish, man. Caught a similar species under that bridge in Sydney but that was a yellowfin brim and obviously this guy doesn't have yellow fins. Oh, my God. No freaking way. Good eye, whoever saw that. I mean, it was pretty hard to miss, I guess. All right, guys. So, it's gonna wrap up our short little mission. It was cool. Definitely caught some fish but we're still missing a few more species in the estuary. So, this afternoon, we might fish in here one more time but guys, definitely going for big fish for the bulk of this trip. We're gonna get moving. Try one more spot. I'll see you in a bit. All right, guys. So, we're back at HQ and yeah, you might notice we're not fishing but there's a pretty good reason for it. We were planning on going north this trip and if you look at my map, that says 32 knot winds pretty much for the whole week but yeah, our plan was to head up north and stay like three or four nights up there but yeah, that's not an option. So, we're trying to brainstorm a little bit and figure out where we could go. I'm thinking maybe we go south, change the game plan entirely and then I don't really know. All the accommodations are booked out. So, we'll figure something out but guys, I'm gonna go do some planning and I'll see you tomorrow when we get it all situated. All right, guys. So, new day and we have a little surprise for you guys. We are gonna be getting a camper van for a few nights. As Tommy said, this is the beginning of the end. All right, boys. There she is. Got her. Here we go. Oh my goodness. This thing is so sick and then Tommy's gonna be our driver. I think I told you guys already. We have, yeah, five boys. So, you get a little bit tight. This was a last second decision from us too, guys. Let's hit the road, pick up the rest of the boys. We're going. All right, boys. You ready for the reveal? Yeah, I think so. All right, guys. So, we made it. The RV's right there. We're actually taking on a pretty cool spot. This is the third longest jetty in the world. So, yeah, we'll see what we can catch off of it but if you can tell, it's super, super windy. So, there's some interesting news. There were four shark attacks in 48 hours and now we're in Perth which is like even heavier on the sharks. So, if we're lucky enough, we might hook on to something a little bit bigger than we're hoping for. Look how long this pier is. How'd you guys do? Nothing. Guys, we have such a long walk ahead of us. How'd you do? Not the best day. Not the best day? All right, guys. So, made it to the spot and I realized I've really gone in-depth about what our target species is and that's primarily because we don't really have one. We're targeting any big fish, something special, something cool and on top of that, we now have a secondary mission. We have to catch fish we're gonna eat pretty much for the whole trip. So, hopefully, we can catch something here. Everyone we talked to up and down the pier said there was literally nothing but let's see what happens. All right, give me something cool. Oh, we're bit. There we go. Smaller but we got a fish. Doesn't look like something that's edible. Oh, you know what? Maybe. We caught some of these inside of Perth and that's actually a really pretty one. So, I thought these were wrasse when I first saw them but I guess they're related to seabream or something like that. There we go. First fish off the super freaking long pier. It's something we already have but we're catching fish. Okay, train is coming. This is like close quarters fishing. This is crazy. I'm rigging up the kind of heavier setup. We just talked to a nice local and he said Samson fish are actually decently common off of this thing. So, let's see if we get lucky. Boys, we're going to starve tonight. It's going to be like Alaska. In Alaska, we just had a spider. Yeah, we're on. Bigger. Unless it's seaweed but I think it's a fish. What is it? Oh, foul hook. That's why it floats so hard. So spiky. Number two. Going back. Damn, guys. This is a legitimate struggle. I mean, conditions are rough. I don't know if it's always like this but not able to find anything of quality. Tommy, what is your favorite fish? My favorite fish? I've always adored the sturgeon. The massive armored prehistoric behemoth. Luke, what is your favorite fish? It'd have to be yellowtail kingfish. Oh, interesting. My favorite fish? Dusky flathead. Oh, flathead. Yeah. Some rogue pigs in here. Yeah. I got a Spanish mackie, I think. I really want one of those. This is the extent we've gotten to. Farming the boys for content because we have no fish. All right, not losing hope. Not losing hope. Something crazy could happen. The biggest fish has been like about four inches long but at least we get a pretty damn nice sunset. Looks like, guys, I think McDonald's might be a reality. All right, guys. So, done for the day. We tried. We really tried. The funniest thing is when we're walking up, we were asking people, oh, did you catch anything? Did you catch anything? Everybody said no. They're like, oh, roughest day ever. And we came in with so much confidence. We're like, oh, we're gonna change that. We're gonna be the ones that catch stuff. And then as we're walking out, people are asking us if we caught anything and we're just like, nope. We'll get the drone up tomorrow, I promise. Guys, the mission continues. See you guys tomorrow. All right. Good morning, guys. We pulled up to the campsite at like, I don't even know, like 1 30 a.m. So, yeah, it took a while. But I woke up and the boys were saying there was kangaroos everywhere. I'm gonna look around. I'm gonna try to find one. This is Shannon National Park. Are they lying to me? Yeah, look, look, look. See that tree? Bro, there's so many trees. It's just there. It looks like a rock. Sure that that's a kangaroo. And then to the bottom left of it in the shape. Oh my god. There you go, bro. You know, I've lived out here and never saw one. Dead set. I mean, you're in like a city though, aren't you? Yeah, true, true. Flies. Yeah, for real. That's the only good thing about the wind is that it keeps the flies away. But yeah, we're gonna get moving. Yeah, let's go find some fish. Look at this. Okay, made it to the next spot. This place is pretty cool. I'm not gonna lie. Just wait till you see what's behind these trees. Oh, I'm so excited to fish here. Oh my god, dude. There's so many of them. Right on the end. You got one? Wide open. Alex got one. Jack got one. All right, I'm gonna start fishing. Okay, so I have one. He's taking off with it. Just, there we go. Another black brim. Same guy we got inside of Perth. And this one's actually a lot cooler. Some purple on him. Looks like a freshwater fish almost, you know? That's a release pad. Oh, herring. I saw him eat it. That was not a brim. Are you sure? Yeah, it would be. Look how purple this one is. That's actually kind of sick. I'm sure there's a horse mixed in though. Like, when I say horse, you know, big one. Oh, real one. Oh, that thing's a horse. I know, it's huge. That thing's huge. Oh my god, Alex. Horse of a brim. That's got 43, I reckon. 38. 38. That's still a good black brim. Hey guys, we are gonna keep some fish to fillet up and eat, but any trophy fish we get, we're gonna release. Why can't I hook one? Are there venomous plants out here? Poisonous, I guess. Oh, I distracted you. Unlucky. All right, give us a medium-sized brim. That's what we're looking for. Something to eat. There we go. Very small. I hope I got that on camera. The dog's swimming around. He's eating the bread we're chumming out. Oh, I'm on. Yeah, a little bit bigger. Not quite in that keeper range. The boys on the dock got two keepers already, so I'm trying to catch up here. I'll get one here. Oh, that's a legal one. Yeah, maybe. Hair shy. I gotta beat Alex's 38 centimeter brimmy. Yeah, I've seen bigger ones. Finally, a decent fish. That is big. Oh my god, dude, that thing is huge. Oh, yes. Guys, I'm stoked. I'm gonna let this fish go, obviously. A little baby brim, and then this is... Mother and son, probably. What Luke was saying, it's about as big as they get. That's like a really, really good one. This is the one I was after, for sure, dude. There he goes. So sick. Oh my god. Thank you. He bit you by one centimeter. Why do you think I'm clicking again? Oh, herring. Okay, new species. Finally got an Aussie herring. It's pretty sick. They're related to the Australian salmon. We're gonna keep this for drone bait this afternoon. We got a legal for dinner. I'm gonna measure him real quick. I think that should be good. Huge freaking stingray. Can you guys see that? Oh my goodness. Okay, so we got, let me see, one, two, three, four, five. Five brim, one tarawine, and a couple of little herring for drone bait. Okay, so easiest way to play fish like this, any snapper-like or brim-like species, I do one cut right behind that peck fin, go down, but don't puncture the rib cage, and just go straight along this backbone. Nice easy cut. So going over the rib cage just like this, and then one quick cut, done. You can see we didn't really miss anything there. And if you want to be real fancy, you can flip it around, get that rib cage out. I tend to do this almost every time. So we're gonna filet every fish here. We'll probably have to time lapse it, but yeah, then we'll get to the kitchen, cook them up. Oh, I'm excited. I'm excited to try these. Perfect. I like this knife. I'm so used to fileting fish with cheap-ass like blades, because whenever I go on trips, I don't want to use a fancy knife and dull it up real bad. So this is like luxury for me. And we will cook these up tonight. All right, guys, made it to the next spot, and it looks like we found a little gap in the rain. The boys are geared up, and we're doing something special. I've been promising it, but we're going drone fishing. So the big fish mission is on. I hope we can catch something, but if this rain turns back on, it's going to be a little bit tough. Let's get down to the rocks. Let's go catch a fish. Oh my God. This spot actually looks pretty intense, but yeah, I do feel a little bit of rain. So we got the aero drone here. I'm going to get it set up really quickly, and we're going to try to send a rod out as far as we can. Luke's setting up the rod right now. I'll show you guys what we're using, but yeah, let me get this thing set up. On your drone, pretty much you just hit this little button right here, and you see that pin that opens and closes? You just put your line in that little latch, and it's secured. And for our bait, we have that herring we caught in the river. Ready? First take off, and we're off. Oh my God. It's so far out there, like 300 meters. Thank you once again to Aero Drones for hooking us up. You guys always help us out, and yeah, hopefully we can catch something. All right, guys, we just need this rod to start ripping. I'm setting up the second drone rod. A couple of big squids. Sending it out. See what happens. Contact, baby. Come on. Yeah. Our Alex is on a squid. Yes. He casted so many times for that squid. Guys, look at that sunset. Only thing that can make it better is catching a fish. Oh my gosh. This is it. I think we're going to get something here. Let's go again. I'm trying to spot a reef for us too. Yeah, are you able to see anything or not? No luck yet. We're waiting. We're waiting. We're waiting. Not even touched. Too far. Drop number six, guys. We tried the live squid. We tried the cut live squid. We're going to try one more drop. There's like 500 mosquitoes around us, but yeah, we're getting bit. It was taking a lot of second to go. Guys, we're still a bit. Oh no, he popped. Are you kidding me? I hooked him for a moment. I know for sure. Dude, I'm devastated on that run. I can't believe I, maybe I should have let him eat it longer. I don't even know, man. No, might've broken off our hook. Yeah, we lost the hook, but we got to run. I think we're going to come back out here tomorrow. We're getting out of the mosquitoes. Nothing we say can ever do justice to how many there are. But yeah, we'll be back and get revenge. Hopefully. Okay. So we're back at the RV. We have the fish with some butter. We have some seasoning, some cabbage, and then Jackson's pulling an onion. Yeah, we're just winging it. A little bit of seasoning, some butter. And look, we're cooking in an RV. How sick is this? It's going to be pretty good actually, I think. Fish taco. That's really good. This is good. This is really good. So we're going to finish up our tacos and cheers. We'll see you guys tomorrow. The hunt continues. All right. Good morning guys. It's bright and early here in the RV. I think we're back to that same rock spot. Yeah, we hooked a big fish. So we're going to try to get revenge. I've rigged up a couple extra drone setups. So we have four this time. Let's get out. Let's get moving. This is our super bowl. Just started rain. Yeah. We'll see if this passes, but drones and water, you guys can imagine. Don't go too well together. You guys, obviously we're battling the rain. It actually just petered off a little bit. But if we went north 15 to 20 foot waves, that would have been one dangerous and two probably unfishable. Yeah. Weather just cleared out and we got dolphins working right there. You guys see that? Oh yeah. Whoa. Okay. A little bit of a gap in the storm. Aero drone back in action. All right, buddy. Come on. We got to get something here. This drone is so badass. Unbelievably badass. Dropping. Yeah. Good. We're doing four drops now. We're going all in here. I'll show you what we got. We have the fathom about 350 meters out there. There's some reef out there I saw. So I dropped it right in that reef. More than likely we're going to end up hooking a shark, but if we get a run, that would be pretty cool. Yeah. Okay. I'm trying to put the drone in some shade. We got two baits out right before it just started dumping again. Battling. We are battling. Butter. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, he's off. He bit off the hook. Shark, shark, shark. He bit off the hook. Retying again. Putting a little bit heavier line. I don't love catching sharks, but you know, if we land one, I'm actually going to be stoked. So round five. Okay. So we got three drone lines out. One on squid, one on live bait. We should hook something again. Okay. While the drones are out, I'm going to make some more live bait. Yeah. First cast. Another little herring. You don't want that thing to scream. Get ready, man. It's going to happen. We're bit. We're bit. We're bit. We're bit. We're bit. Bit on the live herring. Wine, wine, wine, wine, wine, wine, wine. Yeah, you're on. He's on. He's on. Yeah, it's big. You're doing good. You're doing perfect. Damn, I see him. What is it? Shark. It's a shark, man. That's a sick looking shark, man. Don't hold your spool. Don't hold your spool. Good job though, dude. You fought that thing so well. We're bit. We're bit. We're bit. We're bit. Come on, Luke. We're bit. Double, double, double. Double. Come on. Finally, guys. Shark. Another freaking shark. Let's land this one though. Oh, this one's too big to winch, brother. He's huge. I can maybe pull him, but Nice, Tom. Good job, Tommy. Hell yeah. Good aiding. Oh, very good to eat. Very good aiding. Okay. Beautiful, beautiful fish. I'm going to do a quick PSA just because I personally am not the biggest fan of sharks or harvesting them, but we did some research and they're super sustainable, not endangered, not protected or anything, and a lot of the shops out here actually use them for fish and chips. We're going to keep it. I just processed him, took all the guts out, took the head and tail off, and yeah, pretty clean cut, but we still have a little bit of time, so I'm going to drone out a few more baits and hopefully we can catch some fish, not more sharks. I'm going to get two and then we can send them both out. Yeah, small one. That's a great one right there. What was that? After the sandbower king. Sandbower king, yeah. There's like barely any marks on the bait. He's still kicking. A shark would have left marks, you know, and a ray would have just taken it. Okay, quick update. We've been going for quite a bit of time, a few more hours. We're going to keep trying. We have one drone battery left, so we've done about maybe 25-ish drops. Anything can happen. We're a bit, we're a bit, we're a bit, we're a bit, oh, we're a bit. It's huge. This one's way bigger than the other ones. I guess we're a bit, almost certainly a shark, and this one's big. This one's actually freaking huge. 300 meters out there, going to be probably a very long winded. He's so far out there. This is going to be miserable, because I'm telling you, he is gigantic. Actually, that's a weird shake. Look, that was a weird shake. That didn't feel sharky. Working on extra time here. Zero calories in the body. Already 3 p.m. It might be a ray. I feel like he's stuck. How long into the fight are we? I don't even know. We just got first visual on the fish. Gigantic freaking ray. We said we wanted something big, and we got a freaking ray. Mr. Marine Biologist, can you ID what kind of ray it is, please? Oh my god, that thing's huge. We're going to try, you know what? No, we're not. We're not going to get the hook out, but we'll get him up shallow. Let's pull him up to the right. I'm going to cut the leader as close as I can, and the hook will rust out. I don't know how close I can get to this fish, though, man. Wow, dude. Wow. Got it. That was intense. Oh gosh. All that for sharks and a ray. Look at my finger from guiding the line back and forth. I feel defeated, but also kind of stoked, because we caught something big, you know? Not the target, but something. We tried so freaking hard, man. I think we're calling it. I'll see you guys either at the RV or at the next spot. Hey. Oh, the sun. All right, guys. We stopped by on the side of the road. There's a little swimming area. Jumped in, saw some fish, and we're trying to catch a couple of them. We got one. We got one. Yeah. Yeah, we got a little zebra fish. I think that actually looks so cool. It's like some kind of a chub, maybe. I don't even know. Oh, he got one. Oh, what is that? Dude, that's sick. That's so sick. It's dinner. Where are you? Oh, biggest zebra of the day. Yeah, he's going back, and we are going to, I think, maybe hit the road. All right, guys, so we're stopping on this little river, and there's actually a barbecue. Let's get the shark all processed and ready to go. We deserve this. We deserve this feed for sure. Guys, I'll be honest. It actually doesn't look too bad. It almost resembles escolar. If you guys know what escolar is, I'm enjoying cutting this fish. This fish is very fun, very unique, and one thing I will note, I haven't harvested a lot of sharks, but I've seen a lot of videos, and they usually have like a crazy bloodline. This one doesn't. Guys, so for reference, we had those black brim yesterday, and we only had 10 little fillets because the fish were small, and we starved like the boys can vouch. Yeah, we struggled yesterday. What, two or one taco? Yeah, we had one taco each, and it was miserable, so we are lucky to have this feast. We're stoked. Oh, you all right? I thought you hit your head. Two mercury poisoning. Let's go. That's good. That's good. We'll see you in the morning. Bye. Peace. All right, guys. Good morning. So we're back. We're back in Perth. The camper van is unfortunately leaving us. Give her a kiss. But yeah, we're dropping her off, and we're not quite done yet. So we have a little bit of time. I think we're going to go back to that spot we fished on the first day. Yeah, let's end the trip off with a bang, and let's wrap this thing up. All right, guys. Welcome. So we're back. We're here. We're all started. I want to get the freaking flathead. We've been missing this guy the whole trip, and yeah, let's see what happens. Here we go. Grinding for the flatty. Yeah, there we go. Finally, Luke. Good ----. Luke's bit. We're ending the trip with a fish. Hopefully a couple of them. I know you guys won't be able to see much after it gets dark, but jumbo tarawine. Finally, not a blowie. Be a flathead. You're joking. Oh, no. Okay. It's on a pinky. This is your tarawine. It's some kind of a sea bream, similar to the black bream, but they look a little more pretty. New species unlocked, and Luke just got a pretty damn big one. You want to do a comparison? Gigantic tarawine. Oh, I got a fish. Oh, he's still there. Be a flathead. Is that a flathead? That might be a flathead. Oh, my God. It's a flathead. Jackson, I got a freaking flathead. You are kidding me. So, guys, there we go. This is your bar-tail flathead, and you can tell the distinction. The ones in Sydney get a lot bigger. They don't really have that. I guess, yeah, bars on their tail, and ouch, that hurt, but yeah, you can see got that flathead and really cool pattern on his back. It's like a different version of a halibut, kind of like a flounder, but these are one of my favorite fish. I think they look super, super rad, and oh, my God, we're ending off with a bucketless fish. I've never caught one of these. I've caught the dusky ones, but yeah, not this one, so look at that. You got myself real good. Oh, yeah. Love it. I can't see you, but we got one, dude. All right, guys, with that, we're done. Guys, thanks for tagging along. I really appreciate it. It was an awesome, awesome hunt, but yeah, we have a lot of editing to do, and if you guys want to shoot me a follow, my Instagram's going to be somewhere on the screen, and another video if you want to check it out. This year's our year. We're going to finally catch a target species because we've been struggling. Guys, I'll see you on the next one. We're done. We're done.
