I just wanna say that hours of watching these videos subconsciously taught me how to break a fish down and ended up being very helpful when I went to Pohnpei in the Pacific for research. We went out with our friend on our day off and caught a bunch of yellowfin and mahi mahi (I have never fished out in the ocean on a boat before), and he let us keep 2. My years of watching this channel out of pure entertainment and I was able to cut it up (very roughly for a first time) back at the house! So thanks for that lol

That one brah that caught the GT was all about the help and smiles. Nice!

Villi is the best!

Man you can just tell Villi is such a good dude, awesome episode!

It's so great that whether you're Japanese, Indonesian, Polynesian, or Micronesian, there is a culture of using every part of the fish. I get so sick of fishing channels where the heads and collars are tossed away like garbage - such disrespect for the ocean.

Beautiful land!

Taku, you should consider renting some motorcycles, and then you and Jocelyn could pack some telescopic rods and do a catch & cook.

Never knew you could fry them breadfruit, learned something today 🤔. I miss them breadfruit cooked with coconut milk and onions.

Another way to prep and eat breadfruit. Throw them on the fire skin on and get them charred then get some butter and eat them together🤙🏾.

Malo Taku. It’s called Ulua in Hawaii and Malauli in Samoa. Manuia!

It’s kind of rare to catch the “Kagami” especially with the long trailing fragile fins. Would be awesome to gyotaku it. Congrats

10:58, nice Kagami! I think they call them African pampano and diamond travelly in other parts of the world. You could actually see them next to the shore when you thought they were omilus. Awesome strike and way to land it from shore! Such a beautiful fish!

African Pompano in the Caribbean for sure.

Can’t wait to go back home in Faleaseela. Been away for 14 years now.. out here slaying Uluas in Hawaii now😊. Definitely going to try out those spots when I go back Samoa lol. Taking VILI with me.

Also I visited Samoa en route to Kanton Atoll in 2015. Beautiful spot. Didn't mind the Vailima! Wonder what happened to our deckhand, Taula. He'd get all excited and call bluefin trevally Bluvalley!

Malo uso Taku fa'afetai for bringing our culture to light. Loving this series uso 🤙🏽

We called the. African Pompano. Great catch.

🌴Yes a fishing vid , Taku filleting and one of the boys chasing fly’s it’s a sushi masters dream , it’s a tuff job but somebody’s gotta do it! 😂

Taku look up Joe Olivas wwj whipping with Joe. Mean GT action and all kine on Kauai

Coconut water is the best natural electrolytes and they’re everywhere…stay hydrated 🍻 Looks like an African Pompano or Threadfin Trevally

Taku,... afrom filmmaker and fisherman who films himself fishing also... Get the DJI Action 4. . . No overheating. You're welcome.

The overheat is so relatable, thats why I have a mini umbrella for my phone while filming 😂🤣☂️

Malo Taku. Cheering for you when that fish was on.

In Jamaica, they roast breadfruit over a fire, let it cool, peel it and then shallow fry it in oil and sprinkle with salt. It’s so good.

Beautiful village Falease'ela, my great-great grandfather is from there. Love watching your videos Taku, keep'em coming!

Good to see you ur my idol I been watching ur you tube all the time,welcome to our beautiful island of Samoa 🇼🇸

I’d love to see you fish for GTs with cavy fishing

I rate how you show the whole filleting of the fish its satisfying as to watch

Yeah African Pompano. Good catch. They are reportedly excellent eating.

The spotted blues are called Omilu out here in Hawaii also!

Your content never disappoints! You the man Taku!!

Hand down to our man, Taku. Great to hang out with a group of lovely friends

That noodle drop 🔥

I believe that is called an African Pompano, I could be wrong but here in Florida we catch them on the wrecks and it look exactly the same. nice fish for sure. nice job Chef.

So glad you got to visit with my people. Thanks for this episode. Makes me miss home. Aloha!

I remember I watched your vids few years ago, and I totally forgot about you unfortunately. But gladly youtube algorythm made your vid pop up in my feeds. This is what I love about you and your channel- the real people, cozy atmosphere, some genuine folks and culture . Honestly makes me feel like home and gets me feeling that Im travelling as well. Thank you!

That breadfruit crunch is making me hungry!

Reminds me of a guy rock fishing when we went to Lord Howe Island he was hooking massive Kingfish drag would scream out then ping! Every cast almost impossible to land you guys did well

This is your best video yet. 😂😂Thanks for visiting our homeland.

the "diamond trav" is called an African pompano in the us. Super cool catch from the rocks!!!

You're an awesome ambassador for humankind. Thanks for visiting my homeland and sharing in its beauty 💗

The best sashimi Trevally hands down!

Itd be dope if you hosted Catch and Cook expeditions/camps. I’d sign up.

Taku! You should check out getting a Okuma Makaira for these adventures its is one of the toughest spinning reels on the market.

HEY!!! You caught a giant Trevally. My dad caught one of those off the beach on Guam one night, over 3 feet long.. still have the picture.

Love what Jonny and his brother do at Malosi Studio! Love their plugs and their art. Awesome video Taku, amazing catch from the ledge!!!

OH SHAAAAT SIX DEGREES OF SEPARATI DEGREES OF SEPARATION.....Didnt know you knew Malosi!! AWESSOME and send Briggsy and Cavi our love! Malosi with epic lures and loves to fish in his crocs

Live in nz but hearts in Samoa. Love seeing you enjoying my motherland, alofa aku uso

you can steam bread fruit before making the tempura, use like smash potatoes.

Wow water so blue there

MALO TAKU!!!😂 You da man! 💪 seki 🐟

Yummiest eating fresh out of the island ❤❤❤one my favorite ulu breakfast healthy than potatoes 😊choohoo Grandma home Samoa ❤

Bro you made me hungry 🤣🇼🇸❤️ Thanks for stopping by our beautiful country uso👏🙏❤️🇼🇸 Subscribed to your channel uso🙏

Finally slows his retrieve down because he got tired lol and catches a fish 🎣

Samoa looks like a great place to visit for people like me who like to camping simply. Also a great place of our group of friends who like the simple life too❤. The fishing looks great and the relaxation is good if you want it. 🎉

Good times with good people! Love to see it!

that is some big gear....

Excellent video even down to getting too hot so jumpin in the stream, the preparing and cooking Props

Hell yeah bruh! That's a nice catch congratulations and a awesome video. 🤙🏽

Those bluefin fillets are slabs!! That meal looks amazing!!

great video and great lovely family. thanks to all

That Kagami fish is a beauty

Awesome magi Taku. I'm a follower of Ollie's and I saw your shark encounter 😲. I thought you were brave to stay there amongst all of those brozies so I take my hat off to you.

Nice job landing that fish in that heat Taku and of course, what an awesome meal prepared. I'm very hungry currently watching this!

Lol. I caught my self swatting a fly away from the camera 😂😂

You're getting close to a million subscribers. It's way overdue. Let's go!!! S A M O A!!!😂

Great video! Great song selection used for filleting of fish. 👍

Amazing catch! Amazing dish!

Just for some information, Kagami is the species, the word Ulua refers to any of the trevally species that exceed 10lbs in weight. Smaller ones are called Papio. Nice fish!

Malo Taku awesome videos my brother - im missing home watching your videos - Manuia

Awesome catch!!!!!

Thank you taku that was an awesome video bro🤘love all the recipes that you come up with,and incorporating local fruits And vegetables into your dishes.so cool 👍

What a full circle, they are like family now. That meal looks great❤

I think that is a monster African Pompano.

thank for video !

Enjoyed your catch and cook. It’s nice to have friends and family to share it with. Food is the best way to incorporate in celebrations. Ty so much for sharing it with us. Cheers to more! God bless

Tight Lines always ! cool places you travel too ! Love the catch and cooks !

That was an epic day!

Everyones so wholesome ❤ That meal looks smashing mate 😍

GRATITUDE 💥🐟💥

Great skills processing the fish 😊

They are such cool fish, we call them pennant trevally in Aus. They are the best eating of the trevs imo, similar to permit

Great video Taku!

Awesome food! That breadfruit tempura looks delicious, not to mention the sashimi man I wish I was sitting at the table and to wash everything down with that Taula beer my favorite whenever I visit the motherland…God is good ! Fa’afetai for another great vlog 🙏🏼🙏🏼🤙🤙

Yes Sir glad to see the Video!🤙

When you know you are going to somewhere so hot, think about calling Torras for one of their neck air conditioners. Not just a neck fan, but actual a/c that cools your blood and thus your body, works better than you could imagine :)

Epic video with a great bunch of people, brilliant cooking as usual. Keep it coming 💜 from 🇦🇺

Taku n Jocelyn so loving its great

We don’t have these out in the PNW must be nice for the locals to take ya out and fish and have a great time

production on point!

Epic fishing spot 💯

Come back soon! you are pretty much an honorary pacific islander now 😆

You are the Man Taku 🙌 great fishing and cooking videos . Sensational ❤🙏

Great content Taku! Have you tried using a portable powerbank for the gopro? It helps with overheating when you don't run batteries inside the camera.

Just gotta love the cultural aspect of these vids great job taku I really look forward to Tuesdays now seeing the different countries and cultures it's amazing.
