00:07It feels like the longest time ever, right?
00:33Good morning, fam.
00:34How good's this?
00:36We're just, obviously, you can see we're on the ski today.
00:39We're punched out.
00:40Actually, we've got a plan today.
00:41How good?
00:42We have a plan.
00:44We're actually fishing something called a Wonkiole,
00:47which is a freshwater spring up here in the far north Queensland.
00:50We've had so much rain, so I'm hoping those little under ocean rivers
00:56are pumping those springs.
00:58So hopefully there's heaps of bait and heaps of nannies.
01:02We're going to do a bit of rock, paper, scissors,
01:04and hopefully catch ourselves some lunch,
01:07and then we're going to head into a sand car and catch up with some mates
01:09and just enjoy the day, have a bit of a skirt, ski, mark around.
01:14But it should be a really good day.
01:15Yeah, I'm keen.
01:16We're going to do rock, paper, scissors first.
01:18Let's see how we go.
01:19Rock, paper, scissors.
01:20Rock, paper, scissors.
01:23I'm dropping first.
01:26Oh, we're going to be able to pull up the mark.
01:28It's a little bit over here.
01:29So we'll pull up, drop some bites.
01:31We're in about 45 metres.
01:34So we're a fair way down.
01:35Let's get stuck into it, guys.
01:37What do you got on there?
01:38Squidley.
01:39Give us a look.
01:41Beautiful.
01:42Hopefully that catches it.
01:44All right.
01:44Yep.
01:44Go for it.
01:46Hopefully.
01:47Straight down.
01:53Give it to it.
01:54That's a good fish.
01:59That's awesome.
02:01That's exactly what we're after.
02:03I reckon.
02:06Only like 50 metres to go.
02:09Come on.
02:09First drop of the bloody morning.
02:11Oh, I reckon.
02:12Oh, no.
02:12That's what we want.
02:15Best keep sliding up me.
02:18We need to get one of them belts, eh?
02:20Yes.
02:24Oh, we got colour.
02:25You're doing well.
02:28This feels like the longest ride ever.
02:31Come on, we got colour.
02:32We got colour.
02:34What is it?
02:35It's cold.
02:36Oh, no.
02:38That's a huge cod.
02:40Big gold spot.
02:42Oh, my gosh.
02:43Look at the size of this thing.
02:46That is huge.
02:48That is a donkey.
02:53Massive gold spot.
02:57What a fight.
02:58Well, that is not what we're after, but that is huge.
03:01It is.
03:01Righto.
03:02We'll sort these hooks out.
03:03Vent him.
03:04He's not the target species today, so we'll let him go, but good job.
03:08Goodbye.
03:10That is a giant.
03:12Gold spot.
03:13Gold spot.
03:14What a ripper.
03:14I'm just holding his mouth because he's kicking hard.
03:17Yeah.
03:17Got some wild teeth in there.
03:18Yeah.
03:19Oh, no.
03:19We're going to let him go, eh?
03:21Let's send him back.
03:22Ready?
03:23No, he'll just go straight away.
03:25Whoa.
03:26Look at that.
03:28He's going to do it.
03:33Well, I'm so glad it's your turn to go next.
03:36My turn.
03:37He's just going straight down.
03:38The cod are quite good at going down once you vent them, so.
03:42My turn, baby.
03:43Locky is on the next drop, so we're just moving straight back over to that same spot.
03:49He's all baited up, ready to go, and we're going to do that same drift.
03:53And pretty bloody happy with a good gold spot cod.
03:56Although it's not the target species today, it's always good to get a big cod.
04:00It's a good indication that it's how healthy Wonky are when there's gold spots, because they're
04:04usually the first ones out of your base or your geeks or whatever.
04:07Yeah.
04:08So, that's a very good sign.
04:09So, let's get over to this spot and Locky's going to have a little dropsy.
04:15Oh, he's not mucking around.
04:17No, mucking around.
04:18Come on.
04:20Come on.
04:22Yes.
04:24Yes.
04:24That was weird ass.
04:25Oh, that was weird.
04:28Oh, that's it.
04:29Yes, babe.
04:31That was the weirdest bite.
04:33Yes.
04:33Oh, go on.
04:34No.
04:35Shark.
04:36Probably a shark.
04:37Must have like picked it up and just swam with it or something.
04:40Oh, no.
04:43What took everything?
04:44Yep.
04:49Oh, what?
04:51Snipped me rig off.
04:56Ah!
04:57Lock is just going to fix up this rig, tie a new sinker and hooks on and we'll try another
05:06drift, but fingers crossed the tax man's not here because it's too bloody early for that
05:10and we have fish to catch.
05:12How's this?
05:14Three drops for you, huh?
05:15You were pretty quiet about that just before you dropped that down.
05:19Yeah, well...
05:19I was waiting for you to say, my turn.
05:21You still need a rest.
05:24Using my words against me now.
05:26Shock.
05:28Come on, babe.
05:30Third time's a charm.
05:33Mm-hmm.
05:35Well, I've had a couple of goes and couldn't...
05:38I've got a few nibs and whatnot, but no conversion.
05:41So, Em's like, give me that bloody rod.
05:43I'll show you how it's done.
05:45So, guess who's got the rod?
05:48All right.
05:49She's just dropped down.
05:49We've got that drift lined up.
05:51So, get straight into them.
05:53Yes, Locke!
05:55Yes!
05:56That is a frickin'...
05:58You want it?
05:58No.
05:59This is you.
06:01Okay.
06:01So, it went a little bit quiet for a little bit there and we just put the rod in the
06:06rod
06:06holder right next to Lockie.
06:08Cheeky man.
06:10And we've just hooked something good.
06:12It could be what we are after.
06:15Whoa!
06:18What?
06:19What?
06:21That is going mental.
06:26Oh my gosh!
06:29That's huge!
06:34We've got colour.
06:36Oh, we've got some colour.
06:38It looks like it could be red.
06:41Oh!
06:41Oh, it's a charm.
06:45Bloody hell.
06:46No!
06:47No!
06:48No!
06:48No wonder it went so hard.
06:50Big old goldfish.
06:52Oh my gosh!
06:54That is huge!
06:57Oh!
06:59Red!
07:00But wrong colour!
07:01So, for those of you that don't know, this is called a Chinaman and they are full of
07:07what they call cigatera.
07:08So, if you actually eat the meat, you can get really, really sick.
07:12And they are a no-take species as well.
07:14But they literally look like a big goldfish.
07:16It is not, unfortunately, not what we're after.
07:20I'll get the hooks out of him and we'll give you a close look.
07:23Wow!
07:24Pretty cool fish.
07:26Such a cool fish.
07:27And they fight so hard, like proper sports fish, these things.
07:31Yeah.
07:31How's the stripes down here?
07:33That's pretty cool.
07:34Awesome.
07:35Yeah.
07:35And he's going to release real well, so.
07:37Yeah.
07:38We'll get him going.
07:39Whoa!
07:39He's ready to go.
07:40What a beautiful fish.
07:43See you, mate.
07:45Whoa!
07:46He's gone.
07:47Alright.
07:48Good job, babe.
07:49Now my turn for a rest.
07:50You're up.
07:52We are re-drifting to go again.
07:54And, fingers crossed, this is going to be the drift that gets us the target species.
08:01So, we'll see how we go.
08:03Um, we're just, look like we're just on the start of that drift line now.
08:07So, we'll drop that rod in and, fingers crossed, we hear that real screaming.
08:12Come on.
08:15No, you do it.
08:20You do it.
08:22Whoa.
08:23Whoa.
08:25All right, so we just re-drifted after we caught that Chinaman.
08:29And, um, we've hooked another really good fish.
08:33We are conscious of the sharks at the moment.
08:36You do it.
08:37So, hopefully that wasn't a shark.
08:41But, um, yeah, we are conscious of those.
08:43So, that's why I'm giving Locky the rod.
08:45Just because I'm not as strong.
08:50Oh.
08:52Oh.
08:54Jeez, it's got a fair bit of fight in it.
09:08I think it's going to be neat.
09:10I think it's going to be neat.
09:11Oh, no.
09:13I think it's going to be neat.
09:24Oh, no.
09:25It's going to be too.
09:25It's too fighting though.
09:29Oh, we've got some colour.
09:30We have got colour.
09:32Oh, my gosh.
09:33Oh.
09:34It's huge.
09:35That's a monster bag.
09:37Oh, look!
09:39Look!
09:40Look!
09:41Oh, my gosh!
09:43Oh!
09:43Oh, my gosh!
09:44What the heck?!
09:46Oh!
09:48Oh!
09:50Oh!
09:50What a donkey!
09:53Oh!
09:54Oh!
09:54That's the weirdest fight ever.
09:57What?
09:57We fell.
09:58I think, like, we were low-key losing a bit of hope there.
10:01Because we thought, maybe...
10:02We've seen a little whaler in the ski before.
10:05And that felt so weird.
10:07what just happened we go on oh i reckon that's that's bigger than mine that's that's trump's
10:16my pb that is a massive nanny all right let's get these hooks out we'll give you the closer look

17:35doing?
17:36A little beer battered, just nuggets, fish nuggets, beer battered nuggets, what do you reckon?
17:45Good, I'm keen for these, seeing as Locke's cooking, on the cob, what was it guys, 86, alright
17:51we measured the nanny and we found out that it was 86 centimetres, not a bad fish, not
17:58a bad fish, definitely my pee-pee anyway, who caught it, Locke?
18:01Yeah, Locke caught it, Locke on the 86, yep, yep, he's beating my PB now, what's your PB?
18:08Me, 92, I'm ready to go though, you'll get there, 95, righto you guys, oh, righto, turn up
18:17for what?
18:19Bello, what have you got?
18:2093, I bet it's better than Josh's bites, bloody hell, what are you doing?
18:25That'll be about one centimetre, yeah, so here's one of these fillers, just skinned it, look
18:30at all that meat, how good, and we've got a whole nother one here, that's going to be
18:38plenty of dinners right there, so we'll dish that up, put some beer batter, and just shallow
18:43fry it real quick, fish nuggets coming up, I don't know how much beer you need in there,
18:49a little bit more, there you go, never too much, that's a good froth right there, a bit ahead,
18:57so we've got this beer batter mix, what is it just like, flour?
19:04I think it's just, probably just flour, it's probably glorified flour, but, it's all going
19:11in, all right, so we've got the beer in the bottom, and that flour mix of beer batter,
19:22and you've got to try and make some sort of, basically a batter for your fish, who would
19:28have thought?
19:29Don't overthink it, we're just going to cut the fish up into little bite sized bits
19:34like that, and put it in the batter, mix it all up, shake it up, and then just shallow fry
19:38it, so, get going on this fillet, we'll do a heap of them.
19:43All right, we're just rinsing these little nuggets, fresh salt water, that's all our fish,
19:55batter that up, and then shallow fry it.
20:01All right, good to go guys, fill them up.
20:04That's so funny.
20:07Are you going to stand in here, Emma, or are you just going to do it?
20:09Oh, that smells like beer.
20:11Shall we wait for the oil to heat up, or are you going to be so hot?
20:13Surely that's hot already, that's pretty hot, hey.
20:15Oh, send it.
20:16Wait, just get a little bit of batter and just go, ting, ting, ting.
20:20You didn't say the noise.
20:22Ching, ching, ching.
20:22Oh, look at that, ching, ching.
20:23It's all right, get out of here.
20:24Ching, ching, ching.
20:25All right, ready?
20:28Oh, yeah.
20:29Yeah, that's working.
20:31Okay, take some.
20:33Load it up.
20:33These are big.
20:35Straight on.
20:36One more in the middle.
20:37These, hopefully they work on the other side, because we're supposed to, well, I think
20:40you're supposed to deep fry it, but we're just doing whatever.
20:43Just shallow fry them.
20:43Yeah, shallow fry them.
20:44They're not going to work good.
20:45Yeah.
20:45Oh, they look pretty good on the inside.
20:47Sorry, do you have any tongs in there?
20:49Griffey.
20:49No.
20:49Quick tongs.
20:54They look all right, though.
20:55The old and brown.
20:56Smells on real.
20:57That smell good.
21:00They don't.
21:01Wow, how good is this?
21:03The boys are jade up.
21:05They've got beers in here and they've had a beer-battered fish.
21:08Oh.
21:10Oh.
21:13Look, he's cutting all of this out.
21:16Why?
21:17Why?
21:18What do you mean?
21:19Fish is ready to go.
21:22Joshua.
21:23Whoa.
21:25What's this?
21:27A bit of tartare sauce.
21:29Do you girls want to go first?
21:30Come on.
21:30That's right.
21:31You go for it, aren't you?
21:32Yeah, no.
21:32Girls, I'm not going before the girls.
21:34That's right.
21:35Well, I looked a lot rude then.
21:37Offering Josh first.
21:41Do you want a good one?
21:42A little bit of that.
21:49We worked hard for that this morning.

22:11No.
22:11Yeah.
22:12That's all right.
22:14Oh, that's good.
22:15Is it?
22:15Yeah, it's real good.
22:16It's crunchy.
22:17Mm-hmm.
22:18That batter's so young.
22:20That is good.
22:21Marissa doesn't like beer either.
22:23Oh, true.
22:24Yeah.
22:24Surely the alcohol would burn out of us.
