Couldn’t have said it better. As a fishermen I know the heartbreak of losing fish of this magnitude. Even told my wife I couldn’t sleep one night because of it. Days like these come with the sport unfortunately. Keep your head up Taku, amazing content and great footage regardless. Much love.

😆 🤣 😂 that was fun.
I laughed, I yelled, I almost cried with you Taku! Anyone who has ever been in one of those epic battles with a true monster knows that gut wrenching feeling of heartache that comes when you are so close and then suddenly they are gone! Keep going buddy, plenty more out there ahead of you. I don't ever comment, but I had to this time. Thanks for sharing this amazing experience. You are blessed 🙌

Thankyou for the vedio and taking us with you on your fishing trips. Amazing fishing in Niue, wow I was with you all the way, yelling and screaming and devastated when you lost it. What a life
I'm calling it. That's the best episode of Outdoor Chef Life you've done! Incredible dedication and footage. That last 10 minutes was something else. You got your butt kicked, but you can hold your head very high my friend. Great stuff!
Stay safe Taku. That was quite dangerous.

OMG Taku! I don't think I've ever yelled "be careful" and dodged waves on my computer screen before! Your perseverance is commendable! Thank you for sharing your adventures!
Even with the advance warning, Taku slipping into the water, getting back onto the kayak, then commencing to try to land huge, powerful unidentified fish from shore provided many stressful moments for me. Very intense, appreciated this video very much!
In my experience you should be fishing for those fish with what we call an "ulua pole" in Hawaii aka a bigger whipping pole. Also in those conditions you should probably have a fishing buddy and a gaff ready, that fish would have been a problem to deal with if you got him up on the rocks and all you have to dispatch it with is your dive knife while having to hold your fishing pole and a very strong fish with sharp edges and the will to live is thrashing around all the while a wave could surge in and complicate things further. When you're hunting elite fish it's best to have a strategic game plan of landing the fish before beginning.
Gotta give it to Taku for the perseverance he showed throughout the video. Shit was dangerous, intense and exciting, thanks for sharing this solid video.
The last 5 minutes was epic. I could feel your pain, disappointment, strive, and commitment. Such a rollercoaster! I thought for sure you were going in. Also, that last swell was a sign, if I ever seen one. Wow...just wow. On to the next!
100% agree with everyone else here. This is one of your most intense videos ever. Every one of those hook sets from shore look insane and looks like those fishes could've pulled you in lol. The fishes over there are definitely built different. Great upload once again Taku! Taku Sunday it is lol
I was genuinely worried he was going to get pulled in at 33:18 when he took that step forward

41:15 ... jesus that glimpse. Be safe Taku, but you are out there slaying beasts.
Respects brother. Was no joke and def was some hard fighting fish. Every hook set was thrilling. Would def want you to go back again to battle them monsters.
That was awesome taku stoked for you to head to New Zealand. And the way you were batting the fish yhere was crazy. It was like an anime and im stoked for the revenge against the G.T. arc you have got to come back and catch one now.
Getting dragged in is one of my biggest fears while kayak fishing. Though catching a fish big enough to do it is a dream itself

Land based GT fishing is brutal man. I know how much time and energy it takes to change out terminal tackle, map out satellite spots, plan tides, use specialty gear, to finally get a strike after hours if not days only to lose them. This type of fishing is as brutal as it gets. You did really well for someone who doesn’t do this regularly. Sometimes these fish just have too much torque when they turn so even the strongest hooks rip out, even when you do everything right. Next time.
Love this video. I’d say use a 60lb-80lb mono top shot for the stretch. Straight braid and stiff rod means the fish is gonna pop off.
Wow, so intense I was cheering you on.. so epic, great content
ALL GREAT FISHING PEOPLE MAY LOSE ONCE IN A WHILE. PLEASE KEEP YOUR SHOWS COMING ON SIR. THANK YOU SO VERY VERY MUCH TO EVERYONE ELSE.
One of the best videos you have put out in recent months! The heartbreak that all fisherman feel. Great job putting n the work though. Sept/October hit socal for a big bluefin !

Real talk esp falling overboard. I'm surprised taku had the rod in his hand. Most ppl would of panic and drop it
The orange fishing line shows really well on camera.
Love this video great job can’t wait to see you land one!!!
I probably would have let go of my rod when I fell out. That's some real dedication.

Omg, it’s entertaining and felt bad laughing. I never seen any of your videos that you struggle terribly catching some fish! Fish there are badass. Thank you for sharing
Super fun to see, be careful fishing for Ulua, it can become an addiction.😮 Usually this is done with partners nearby to back you up with gaffs, rope with float, and/or will jump into save you in case you fall in and get knocked out. Keep the rod tip up. They were nice battles to see, Mahalo for sharing. Aloha.
Hey Taku, awesome video. Pro tip ! For that dull knife you switched to, the answer was hanging on the cup rack a foot away. Porcelain/ceramic cups, plates, etc are EXCELLENT to hone the edge on knives. The 'rough' area (unglazed) that forms a ring around the bottom of the cup. Use it as you would a butchers steel. Sharpen away from you, reversing the knifes edge after each swipe. You'll have to switch hands for the other side of the blade. 4/6 swipes on both sides ! Presto very fine edge on the knife.

Damn I haven't been this emotionally invested in one of your videos in a while. Every one of those attempts were wild. standing at the end staring out at the ocean with big waves crashing at your feet. I've been there before
Omg this was a powerful video had me on edge of my seat screaming…glad ur safe❤..thx you for sharing …ur differently a fighter 🎣🎣🎣🐠🐟
Land of the giants. Many have tried, many have failed.
Those tropical fish are beasts! I took a bass rod to el salvador and instantly regretted it and got spooled ! 36:40 is nuts!
Yooo I died when you lost the 3rd fish 😂 that was hilarious my guy. You’ll get them next time.
I need more of this battle. I hope you get that fish.
I am older disabled retired Chef. I enjoy you channel, I get to live through your eyes Thank you.
YEEESSS another Niue one !! hope it doesn't derail things to much... but I love it :) !!
Wow, we were so fearful for your life. Every tug, every run, every wave felt like we were there with you and oh my how it broke hearts as it broke yours when each GT got away. Thank you for such a thrilling video, the best video we have ever watched on KZread.
On land or on the Sea...you've done your best impression of "The Old Man and the Sea"...smiles...oh yeah, that was a Monster...!!!!!!!
Taku! Going from one failure to the next without any loss of enthusiasm is SUCCESS! I love it that you pull out another lure right after you lose a fish. It definitely shows your character! I’ll enjoy the video where you catch a GT. Perhaps, it’s better to spear those fish instead? Just a thought.
I read the title and was skeptical....but after watching the video, I have another level of respect for you. Good stuff, and I'm glad you're ok. Some people aren't so lucky. Great video!!
Wow that was really intense, and every time you were so close to the edge woah! Great video!
Pucker factor 10. Almost felt like watching my favorite NFL team lose the Superbowl in a hostile environment, but I admired the perseverance and hard work - great job! Please make more content like this!
That last one was an incredible battle. Be careful out there brother, those fish are ready for war.
That’s why they call it fishing 🎣 and not catching 😂. I wouldn’t have it any other way! Great footage once again! Domo 🙏🏻
Holy crap! I never thought of fishing as life-threatening before!
Man, this has to be one of your best videos, you stood so strong against those monsters. Those are some powerful fish and huge, I understand they are great eating.
OMG, that was so nerve racking to watch I felt for you Taku. I was so scared the fish was going to pull you into the ocean!!!
This video kept getting better and better!
I don’t think I have ever watched any of your videos where I had stopped breathing so many times… The intensity of it all!!! GEEZUSS! You will be back.. and you will land your monster! 😎👍🐳
These have got to be some of your most intense battles ever. You'll definitely slay them next time, Taku. Keep up the great content as always, and never stop fishing! 🎣
Love you guys taku and all the quality videos you’re pumping out 💪🏽
Deng Taku, got me holding on the cliff just watching the screen when you were on the rock. Intense video man. Keep it coming!
Wow Taku! This was such a captivating video. Love it!
Very persistent! It's amazing how motivated you are and how you never give up like a true protagonist 😊
That was thrilling to watch!! I was cheering you on and hopeful for you man! You are gonna land that big one soon Taku! Your arms must be on tired, but your determination was 🔥 🔥 🔥!!!!
Laughter, fear, sympathy…emotional rollercoaster of a video, appreciate the grind of not giving up!
I've never been so on the edge of my seat while watching a video. My god, my heart is racing to the end. Stay safe out there Taku!
Taku you’ve made my day bro. 😂
New video!!! cant wait to watch it, I always look forward to the Catch N Cooks Love the content keep it up 🤙
You gotta button down your drag in the kayak, your kayak is the drag. Also having a long rod that you can always keep pointed to the front of your kayak will keep you much safer.
Always keep your rod upright when reeling in to stop the fish from diving down and keep reeling with the drag on strong. Get a longer rod that is firmer. That would defininately help.
That was some seriously big fish!!! One of the better, if not the best video you've put out Taku! Killer stuff!
Taku finally met it's match in the ocean great video brother u will get ur chance and now u learn from mistakes u know how they fight their strength u aren't defeated is just a lesson
I’ve never targeted dogfish tuna but as a spearo I’ve seen lots of videos of other spearos hunting them. When spearos go for them, the dogfish are able to pull down one or two pressurized floats to a decent depth (even after a fatal wound from a spear). If that’s what you had on your kayak, that’s pretty intense!

Taku one of your best videos yet!!! Getting yanked in was hilarious but also dangerous if you got caught in the line. That's what a knife on your vest is essential! Way to keep your cool and loosen the drag. I loved the combat fishing on the shore too. Those GTs are crazy strong!! They know how to use the reef too. You are going to have a blast in New Zealand.
TAKU-SAN!!!! This has been one of ur best battles yet and had all the feels of a superb drama. Cant wait for the next one!!
Unfortunatly you didnt land it but you definitely owned that last one bro, GOOD JOB!! 😎
Bro this is literally one of the best videos! Redemption trip might have to happen unless you catch a big one in the next vid
the strength of those fish is crazy, that last one we seen looked HUGE. Cant wait to see you get your revenge on these big fish.
I know the feeling bro. I lost a few GTs that way.. either it bent the hook or popped off. Fighting GTs is both exilharating and exhausting. In my oponion it is the best fighting fish. Wish you many more hookups man.👊🏽✌🏾
You didn't stand a chance. Crazy thing is that Cavy catches fish this big all the time. He makes it look easy. Amazing to see that the GTs almost pulled you in a few times. Mad respect.
I got pulled in by a 17 pound pike when I was 4 years old. Good times!!! That day is what got me addicted to fishing. Now I have a 2 year old son, and he's going to have so many adventures to come. Keep up the good content and stay safe.
Man Taku! That was a glimpse of the beast at the end! Total sea monster! Intense- Awesome work. You’ll get him one day soon. ✊🏽☮️
That was so exhilarating I don't even care it didn't pan out. And wow what a crazy shot of the GT striking your bait.
That was cool. I was rooting for you the whole time !!🙌
Stay on the rocks brother u almost loose everything!..👊🏿🇯🇲
What an epic fucking video!!! I was so pulling for you. You definitely gotta go back. I can’t imagine these guy catching GT on a fly rod. I catch Texas bass on a fly and it’s tough, Texas red drum even harder leave me sore a couple days, but a GT I just can’t imagine. You need some sort of award for this epic coastal battle.
Wow great episode! I was glued. You got my heart racin
Epic Rod Busting battle! Busting Rods and Losing Hogs! Always a good show, this one SPECTULAR!
big game fishing! was so curious what it could have been, still was fun to watch.
You’ve paid your dues Taku, you are going to get one soon man. Keep your head up and your rod higher. Aloha
This is the best video of fishing I have ever seen props man this is why I watch you brotha
I'll keep In mind if I ever visit Niue that there are literal monsters in that water!! Talk about a great video Taku,You were out there fighting like an absolute champion!
Dang, I have to say that was better than some sci-fi TV for sure. I really started tearing up when the last one surfaced and slipped off!
Double thumbs up! The filmmaking and editting!! Like reading Hemingway's Old Man and the Sea again.
Mr.... That was quite the fight!! Was cheering for you brother!!
Taku just casually getting back into the kayak after falling in. You should update the icon to you falling in :)
WOW, This video was Intense 😊. Tight lines Taku. Stay Safe 💕 💞 🙏 🙏
call Adam for backup lol; the strength is in your mind and thus technique!! yeah easy for me to say sitting behind this keyboard!! excellent and certainly entertaining video!!
Epic stuff Taku . I know you had that GT we all saw that dinosaur in the wash. Everything has to align soo perfectly to land those monsters. Next time 🤓. Keep up the stellar work amigo
That was a 🔥 video, having the right gear helps plenty, especially good reef shoes for areas like that. You almost had that last one too. 🤙🏽
I love how you didn’t give up and went back out there early the next morning. I felt the excitement, dedication, motivation, and hungry passion to do what you love - even when its so painfully difficult at times. Loved this episode! Rooting for you! 🎉
Man… from one fisherman to another.. stay up brother bc That’s what keeps up going! The thrill of successes and losses!!!
I haven't laughed out loud so much in ages, rewound and played it again!
This one was gnarly! You absolutely need to go back eventually. A revenge /comeback video is what we all need.
This one has to go viral! Great video.
thanks to you and these Niue videos its now a fishing bucket list place for me. Sea of giants!
The old man and the sea! Absolutely amazing video sir. Excitement,FEAR, heartache and sorrow. Awesome!
Wow!!! I thought I was watching a movie. My heart was pounding like crazy.
One of your Best episodes yet! That was no acting, just super raw emotions! I've lost my share fish, and it all sucked, you keep reeling back in your mind so freaking CLOSE especially after an epic battle!
