Hi Briggsy My name is Hakan.I'm from Turkey your chase and I'd love to go fishing with you, but that's not possible because I don't have that much money and airplane tickets and equipment, so I just want you to send me the equipment that I can catch over a pound of fish.

Hey briggsy what happend to your ns black hole rod. I've been eyeballing the 8'6

Very helpful video Briggsy, i caught my first GT back in 2014 but since then i haven't had an opportunity to target them. Love watching all the tackle talk vids, taking it all on board and slowly stocking up on gear to chase these beasts next year.

Keep putting these out Briggsy...they are a great style and engaging.

Never fished GTs , but you are very informative. And your vids are sick. Thanks for the knowledge Briggsy!!! Much love from the states !!

Love getting vlogs like this helps out heaps when i go into tackle stores and looking for things for big fish. Keep up the good work and looking forward to more vlogs and the new MTF videos. YEEEEEW 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙

Awesome, great to here your thoughts, can’t wait for the new series.👍

Off to the tackle shop!! Can't wait for the next Morning Tide release, nice one Briggsy.

Always an epic upload from you Briggsy, love your work champ

keep on feeding the dream of fishing giant crazy GT, love all your videos, big thx

Huge fan dude thank you for these info vids gt fishing seems very popular but only experts seem to know how to do it so these help out a starting gt fisherman a lot!

can't wait for more stuff, love your work

Great stuff... Thanks for taking the time to explain and rationalise to provide us not so experienced with some good caching and guidance. A sincere thank you.

A progression of catching small to big fish is a good teacher of technique n understanding of what is needed in a big fish. Nothing beats that first hookup on that big quary that sheds all your fear n seeing to refine the fight along the fight.🙏😛 🎣 great job explaining love your videos from across the pond God bless be safe my friend 🙏

Amazing grear and thanks for sharing this. I wanted to start popping and watching this gave me a whole idea on what gear to use. Big thanks

Awsome video bro. Appreciate these videos 🤙🏾🤙🏾

Briggsy the experienced rod handler. Wicked film as usual. Yew.

very useful advice and tips, keep the vids coming. 👍🏻

Great video like always Briggsy

Great post Aaron... always Like to froth on your gear! That ripple fisher has never let you down 👍🏻. Just don’t let Brooksy drag it behind the car!!! 😂

Very good advice mate. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻

Haven't felt a ripple fisher sadly..but did get my hands on the morning tide redtank!!❤❤❤ Absolutely amazing

Great video I watch a lot of your vid to get ideas on lures

Just by watching your setup, It just make me feel like my setup's very tiny.Awesome video!!! Keep it up👍

Your videos are class mate. That style of fishing looks amazing, but at the same time I can see the huge effort that must be put in to be successful. Looks mad exciting though, I wish I lived somewhere warmer

Ripple Fisher!!!!! I'm running the 711 powerfight absorbs headshakes so well. Aloha🤙

Thanks a lot for sharing your amazing experience with us buddy, very much appreciated and helpful 😃🤗💪💪🤙🤙🤙👋👋

i live in hawaii, we call them ulua, any gt under 20lb we call them papio. Over here we usually use a dunking rig, huge 14ft poles with baitcasters with shark hooks with octopus/oama/and other small baitfish as bait, but watching mtf for a while i decided to take my 10ft spinner on the rocks with a sick popper, lost my popper to the reef in rough waters, rip 70$ popper.

Thanks Briggsy for that great video I want to get three lures for starting out on gt fishing got any top three lures/colours.

Cheers mate that was mint. I’m just getting into it. Brought a penn slammer 3 8500hs with a penn ocean assassin 60-80lb casting 50-190grams.

Hey Briggsy, great channel. Have you got a video that talks about left vs right hand wind and why you have chosen, and why you do/have changed sides?

Hello there, im starting to getting into gt fishing and would like to ask you, what's your recommendation for a light gear setup? any changes from this vid?

Brother it is an awesome video. Very informative. Thanks a lot. Would you please suggest me the best split ring plier

great info mate...thanks for sharing..!!!

great vid man

Bro i love your content. I dont fish for gt since im in FL, but we do have a fish called jack crevalle, they get up to about 30kg , i use similar lures to these off the jetties. Your content has always been great man keep it up!

Great informative video Briggsy! I caught a 15kg GT 2 days ago off one of my go to ledges with my Daiwa Demon Blood 962mh V2 with a Shimano 10k Saragosa (50lb braid 80lb leader) with an sxr14 glass ghost xrap! Was a really hard fight but managed to land and release it.

I need to watch myself. I'm starting to talk like you cats and that's not too good for a kiwi :D Loving the vids bro

Good Shit Briggsy. Headed to Mexico this really helps.

Hello Sir. Briggsy! I had much fun watching all your videos on GT fishijg!! And also I love your gears, the rod and reel.lure and lune! I really want to own like your rod and reel. Im Rosendo Y. Pollescas iii from Philippines Cebu Cuty

You should make a video on how you retrieve the stick baits and poppers I know there are many variations but sometimes I just cant seem to get it down

To good to watch on iPhone .I will save this movie for the big screen. “Briggsy “

Amazing. You should do these for every fish.

I'm watching this, enjoying it.... and the nearest GT is few thousand miles away from me :/ Boy will be boys! :D

Excelente video 👍🎣😎

can i know..where good spot for fishing gt? and how we want to know that spot has gt?

Hi, I want to try catching a GT whilst on holiday in Rarotonga, but my biggest spin reel is a Shimano Baitrunner 12000D with 11 or 12kg of drag. Will this be enough, paired up with a cheap rod bought on the island?

Aloha! Just wondering if you throw that FCL labos with your ripple fisher or do you bring a light set up to switch it up? The riptide and labos gotta be around like 40g right?

Love these tackle-talk vids! I was wondering, in a couple of months I’m going in my first trip chasing GT off the rocks in Tonga. Since I life in Holland I have no one here to teach me haha, could you tell me something about the fight with a GT? Like what to do when you know the fish is going for structure to cut you off and how to adjust the drag during the fight. Keep m coming Briggsy!

@Briggsy

6 жыл бұрын

I set the drag to start with at I think about 12kg - 15kg and crank it up to around 20kg as soon as it hooks up. If they run even on that setting I tighten until the fish slows down and once i'm pumping them and it feels like they can't take any line I loosen off a bit. The exception to this is that one fish we saw sitting at the ledge, when I knew there was a chance to hook him I braced myself and tightened up to well over 20kg (could only just turn the spool a few clicks with your hand using all your strength), so because I knew I might hook him I could brace myself and I even had my rod already in the fighting belt when he hit the lure. That kinda thing is very rare though and usually I'm doing what I said first ^.

Those are some crazy drag settings man haha! really makes you respect GT. You reckon a 5500h expo could do the job on medium sized GT in the 10-20 kg range, or would I really need an 8000h expo? since it will be the first time chasing GT I'm not really targeting tho 50kg+ haha. Thanks for the reply by the way, really appreciate the interaction with the fans from you guys!

Awesome advice briggsy. I live in PNG and i'm looking forward to go out and try some of these tips. Our local tackle shop doesn't have much variety when it comes to lures. Pretty much the only poppers they sell are Halco roostas. What's your oppinion of those?

@Briggsy

4 жыл бұрын

They're plastic but pretty strong, not sure if wire through but if they are you should still land your fish if it's strong wire! Just make sure you upgrade the hooks and split rings if you're going for GT with them!

Hi You must know the Yamaga BlueReef 80/8 rod, right? Do you prefer Ripple Fisher OceanRidge LongCast GT 82? Why? Can you talk more about these two rods? The two rods are dual (?) Which is best for popper, which is the best to stick ... I am looking for a rod that will use for GT fishing and Tunas. Thanks and congratulations for the videos.

So to save on money i got a daiwa BW 8ft heavy PE8 rod with Saragosa 20000. Is this good entry level GT Popper combo for someone on budget? Will it still do the job?

@Briggsy

6 жыл бұрын

I don't know that rod but on most fish it's prolly totally fine, on a massive one maybe run into trouble but they are rare and I think you'll have a great time GT fishing with that setup.

Have you ever used Penn products ? I picked up a Penn 8000 recently (Spin Cast)

I’ve got the low speed 8000 dogfight do you find any difference between that and the 8000h you use for popping and stick baits?

@Briggsy

6 жыл бұрын

I used to have a low speed 6500 Catalina and you do have to wind faster with it in some cases, which actually isn't such a big deal because it's an easier reel to crank (just like a bike in a high or low gear). Another thing I found was the timing of winding in slack line after a sweep seemed a bit smoother with the slower reel, like maybe it was two full rotations instead of one and a fraction so you could fall into a repeating pattern easier while working lures (but that may have been specific to the 6500 and my rod at the time) . So it's not all bad, but in general you want to get the lure back to you with the least amount of revolutions possible (especially if spinning for long periods of time), and when you want to stir things up and bring a lure in full speed it's obviously going to move faster on the high speed model.

Nice vid

Hey bud, where did you buy the ripple fisher? Cant find it anywhere in OZ.... (spewing) lol

I ordered mine from a place in Singapore called 'anglers hut' it was the cheapest at the time. I think I got mine for about $1000AUD and shipping from Singapore was around $100AUD (I've heard of people getting them for a fair bit cheaper since then, so just dig around see what you can get it for). Really good rod if you can get your hands on one!

20 kilos of drag? Do you guys use a scale to set the drag?

What type of knots are you using from leader to lure/popper on 200lbs test?

@Briggsy

6 жыл бұрын

Hi Mate, I'm using a 4 wrap Uni Knot.

Question: how do you go with the lighter stick baits on the heavier popping rod? I’ve heard a lot of opinions about needing softer rod tips to get good action but I’m not buying it!

@Briggsy

4 жыл бұрын

It makes a difference but I think if you spend enough time with one stick you get used what you need to do to get a lure working and can adjust your sweeps to make it happen. But a good example of too heavy a rod is, I was throwing a 100g FCL popper on my PE10 stick and it was skipping out of the water with a normal sweep, went down to my PE4 stick which could also throw it (targeting small-medium YellowFin Tuna so didn't need super heavy) and i could wack my sweep/pop nice and hard and the rod was forgiving enough that the lure stopped skipping out. Not a stickbait but if you apply that to a difficult floating stick that needs a gentle touch (and ur a bit rough with your sweeps in general) a softer tip rod prolly helps you out a fair bit with out having to change your natural technique.

Some sick as gear mate one day I be able to afford something half as nice hahahah hopefully

Love your video especially in term of being prepared for any situation!!! Could you let me know from this video, which knot you are using (and how to) to attach you swivel with the 200lb Mono!

Hey Briggsy, good video. One question, what length leader do you go for?

@Briggsy

6 жыл бұрын

Hi mate, most the time it's only about 2m long because I don't cast the knot, I think that the FG banging on the guides over time damages it and you'll get more wind knots, also won't cast as far. The other boys cast their knot and have about 3m leaders, doesn't seem to bother them but I'm just weird. Prolly switch to the 3m leader the day I get reefed with the 2m haha.

Without going over everything you have already said im looking at rods currently as im heading over to Oman later this year do you feel that this rod will stand up to a 50 plus GT im torn between the rod you have and the 710 ultimo

I donno the 710 Ultimo but I'm pretty sure it will also be rad. The GT82 I have was recommended to me by Mark Harris and I saw Edd from NoBoundaries Oman once say that it is the best GT rod available. He's had a few of them I think so that's pretty much all you need to know! (Edd gets 50kg+ all day long).
