  1. 3 Kings in a 3 6m Inflatable Tasman from NZ Wild Adventures Pushes the Boundaries of What's Possible

    27 APR

    3 Kings in a 3 6m Inflatable Tasman from NZ Wild Adventures Pushes the Boundaries of What's Possible

    3 Kings in a 3.6m Inflatable | Tasman from NZ Wild Adventures Pushes the Boundaries of What's Possible Tasman grew up on Arapawa Island in the Marlborough Sounds, homeschooled, self-sufficient, and fishing before he could drive. These days he documents some of the most audacious solo fishing and hunting adventures in New Zealand on his YouTube channel NZ Wild Adventures — mostly from the deck of a 3.6 metre inflatable. Three Kings solo. Fiordland for a month. Around Stewart Island. Sleeping in a hammock strung across the boat 35 kilometres offshore. Hunting the Hokitika Trench for Pacific bluefin tuna in winter. In this episode we get into the safety gear and planning that makes these missions possible, what a month alone in Fiordland actually looks like, the time the boat started filling with water at the start of the Three Kings crossing, and why Tasman would be doing all of this with or without a camera rolling. This is the guy doing 30-mile offshore crossings in a boat most people wouldn't take past the harbour entrance — and somehow making it look completely normal. ✅ Tasman Denize @nz_wild_adventures ✅ www.youtube.com/@NZWildAdventures ⏱️ Chapters /Segments (00:00) Meet Tasman He grew up on Arapawa Island — homeschooled, no neighbours for 9km, hunting and fishing from day one.

  2. Commercial Fishing's Dirty Secret | Extreme Waste, Destruction & One Man's Fight to Make a Difference — Dallas Abel

    13 APR

    Commercial Fishing's Dirty Secret | Extreme Waste, Destruction & One Man's Fight to Make a Difference — Dallas Abel

    Dallas Abel grew up in Port Douglas, Far North Queensland —fishing, diving and hunting every chance he got. That coastal upbringing sparked a lifelong curiosity about the ocean that took him all the way through a marine science degree, into aquaculture, reef education, and eventually a role as a fisheries observer for MPI right here in New Zealand. In this episode, Dallas pulls back the curtain on what lifeas a fisheries observer actually looks like — including some of the confronting realities of commercial fishing at scale that most recreational fishers never see. He breaks down ocean acidification in plain language, unpacks New Zealand's quota management system, and shares his philosophy that utilisation is conservation. But Dallas isn't just talking the talk. He's the founder of Ofishal— a New Zealand fish leather business turning what would otherwise be waste product into premium, handcrafted leather goods. It's a business with purpose, and a genuinely fascinating story. We also get into kingfish sashimi, mahi-mahi bucket lists,why he'd ditch the rod and reel for a speargun, and what it's like going fishing with Matt Watson. This one's got something for everyone — whether you're adie-hard fisho, someone curious about what actually goes on out on the commercial boats, or just after a reminder to make the most of every fish you bring home. ✅ Dallas Abel @ofishal_leather ✅ https://ofishalstore.myshopify.com/   ⏱️ Chapters /Segments 00:00 – Meet Dallas Abel — proud Australian, marinescientist, ex-MPI fisheries observer, and founder of Ofisal fish leather. Dallas moved over from North Queensland for a girl and agovernment job — and never left. He shares why NZ's fishing access, lifestyle, and quota management system make it hard to go back. Fishing, diving and hunting after school every day. How acurious kid from Far North Queensland developed a lifelong obsession with the ocean. What university actually teaches you — hydrology, coastalchemistry, reef ecosystems — and why Dallas became obsessed with bridging the gap between scientific research and public understanding.   10:00 – Growing Up Wild — Crocs, Sharks & the 2025 Season’s First Striped Marlin Dallas grew up in Port Douglas, Far North Queensland — where crocodiles were a near-daily sighting and a very drunk round of golf once ended in a sprint from a 3.5-metre croc. He discusses how a casual overnight trip out of Whangarei turned into landing the first striped marlin of the 2025 season at 107.6 kilos. 25 :00 – Fist time Blue Marlin, and what the life of a fisheries observer is really like Becoming a Fisheries Observer for MPI What the role actually involves — going out on commercial vessels and documenting what's happening at sea. Dallas shares what he saw and why it changed his perspective. How coral gets dumped (legally) and the massive On-board processing plants and waste they create 35:00 – The Hauraki Gulf — Dragged Clean Dallas reveals that the Hauraki Gulf was once dragged with massive chains to rip up the entire sea floor — clearing out the mussels, oysters and reef structures that once lined the bottom — specifically to make way for commercial trawling. 50:00 – Ofishal — Turning Fish Skins into LeatherDallas walks through how a rabbit hole during his time with the Kai Ika project led him to fish leather — watching perfectly good skins get discarded on commercial boats and thinking there had to be a better use.   🌟 Links & Socials - YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/@getthenet_nz] - Apple Podcasts: [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/🎣-get-the-net-–-tight-lines-loose-lips🎙️/id1824558692]   ✅ Follow Us - Instagram: @getthenet_nz - TikTok:@getthenet_nz - Facebook @getthenet_nz   🎵 Music Used ✅ Proctor, Topher Mohr & Alex Elena ✅ Satellites, Swello ✅ Momentum, Zplit ✅ Source (YouTube Audio Library)   🎥 Production Notes ✅ Shot on: Sony A7iii + Sennheiser Mics ✅ Edited in: Adobe Premiere Pro ✅ Shot, Edited & Produced by Nick Hoyle

    From Tyres to Trophy Fish: Ethan Bryant’s Wild Rise at the Three Kings

    In this episode of Get The Net, we sit down with Ethan Bryant, skipper of Te Ariki Nui in the Pelagic Charters fleet, to talk about one of the wildest career pivots in New Zealand fishing. Less than a decade ago Ethan was running a tyre shop and working in the automotive world. Now he’s built a name as one of the most effective and hardest-working skippers in the country, spending nearly 300 days a year on the water and leading clients through the madness of the Three Kings fishery. But behind the results is a real personal cost too, and Ethan speaks openly about how life on the boat takes him away from his young family and how much that sacrifice weighs on him. We get into what makes Ethan and Pelagic so dangerous at the Kings, from teaching everyday anglers how to fight properly on heavy tackle, to chasing the fish that keep serious fishos awake at night. Ethan opens up about his obsession with swordfish, the forgotten art of nighttime swordfishing, & some properly insane stories from the boat — including a 16-hour battle with a monster broadbill and the constant push to find the grander sword he knows is out there. It’s clear how addicted he is to the job and the fishery, but just as clear that this lifestyle demands a hugely understanding wife and a familywilling to back the mission. We also unpack just how special the Three Kings can be. Ethan’s crew tagged the most striped marlin of any charter boat in New Zealand last season, but unbelievably they actually caught more swordfish than marlin. Add in blue marlin, kingfish, bluefin tuna, and the pressure of trying to protect one of the country’s most iconic fisheries, and this episode is stacked with hard-earned knowledge, huge fish stories, and a very real look at what it takes to become one of the top charter skippers in the game — not just professionally, but personally as well.  This one isn’t just about big fish — it’s about obsession, sacrifice, family, and what it really takes to build a life around chasing the next bite. ✅ Ethan Bryant @esb.offshore & @pelagic_charters_nz (IG) ✅ https://www.youtube.com/@esb.offshore ✅https://www.facebook.com/ PelagicChartersNZ ✅ https://pelagiccharters.co.nz   ⏱️ Chapters /Segments (00:00) – Meet Ethan Bryant Ethan’s path into the game has been anything but ordinary. He shares how he went from running a tyre shop to becoming the skipper of one of the hottest boats in the Pelagic Charters fleet. (10:00) – The wildest blue marlin footage you’ll ever see We revisit some unbelievable blue marlin footage shot from the top of the tuna tower — the kind of content that shows just how chaotic and visual this fishery can be. (20:00) – Night-time swordfishing Ethan tells the story of the marathon broadbill fight that broke Jonsey & lit a fire in him for swordfishing. (30:00) – Marlin, kingfish and the magic of the Three Kings Ethan breaks down what makes the Three Kings such a special and unpredictable place to fish. (40:00) – How night-time jigging for southern bluefin tunabegan Ethan talks through how they started piecing together a new way to target southern bluefin at night, and what it means to be a charter skipper whose job is not just to catch fish, but to create unforgettable experiences for clients. (50:00) – Pacific bluefin tuna | The brutal fight that tests every angler Not all tuna fights are created equal. Ethan explains why Pacific bluefin are the real deal. (60:00) – Showing the real Three Kings on YouTube Ethan shares why he’s putting more of the real charter experience onto YouTube — the highs, the grind, and what people don’t always see from the outside.   ✅ Follow Us - Instagram: @getthenet_nz - TikTok:@getthenet_nz - Facebook @getthenet_nz   🎵 Music Used ✅ Proctor, Topher Mohr & Alex Elena ✅ Satellites, Swello ✅ Momentum, Zplit ✅ Source (YouTube Audio Library)   🎥 Production Notes ✅ Shot on: Sony A7iii + Sennheiser Mics ✅ Edited in: Adobe Premiere Pro ✅ Shot, Edited & Produced by Nick Hoyle

    She Worked on Game Boats… Now She’s Building Fishing Gear Lisa Noble

    In this episode of Get The Net, we sit down with Lisa Noble, founder of Ocean Obsessed Apparel and Swordie Boots, to talk about her journey from working on game boats to building her own fishing brand. Lisa grew up around the ocean and spent time working aboard game fishing boats before settling down and starting a family. Her passion for fishing never faded, and while on maternity leave she finally took the leap to launch an apparel brand aimed at filling a gap she’d always noticed — fishing gear designed specifically with women in mind. That journey eventually led to the development of Swordie Boots, purpose-built fishing boots designed to be comfortable, practical and tough enough for long days on the water. Lisa shares the story behind the brand, lessons from working in the industry, and why her connection to the fishing community helped bring the idea to life. ✅ Lisa Noble @lisa.noble_ & @ocean_obsessed.apparel (IG) ✅https://www.facebook.com/oceanobsessedapparel ✅ https://swordiebootsbyoceanobsessed.com/ ⏱️ Chapters /Segments (00:00) Meet Lisa Noble Lisa shares how her lifelong passion for the ocean and fishing shaped her journey, eventually leading her to found Ocean Obsessed Apparel (10:00 )From Boat Show to Tonga Game Fishing A chance meeting with legendary skipper Steve Campbell opens the door to an unforgettable trip deckhanding in Tonga.

    He Was Told It Was a “Dumb Question”… Now He Runs NZs Largest Fishing Platform

    Ben Chissell didn’t set out to build New Zealand’s biggest online fishing platform — he started it after getting absolutely slammed for asking what he thought was a simple fishing question. Instead of backing down, he decided there had to be a better way for Kiwi fishos to connect, learn, and share without being ridiculed. That moment sparked what would become the NZ Fishing Community, now the largest online fishing group in the country. In this episode, Ben opens up about the early days — the criticism, the backlash, and the growing pains of running a fast-scaling Facebook group. We talk about moderation, online pile-ons, misinformation, and the responsibility that comes with leading a platform where thousands of anglers share reports and opinions daily. We also unpack some of Ben’s early boating mishaps and hard-earned lessons — the kind most fishos can relate to — and the journey from figuring it out the hard way to landing a world record gemfish. We also dive into the One Ocean Protest, and how — much like starting the Facebook group — it came from frustration. Frustration with government decisions, frustration with how recreational fishers were being represented, and the decision to channel that energy into action instead of just noise. This episode is about resilience, community, learning publicly, and what can happen when you turn criticism into something constructive. ✅ Ben Chissell @chissellben (IG)✅ https://www.facebook.com/groups/nzfishingcommunity ✅https://www.facebook.com/profile.phpid=61583108365415 (one ocean project) 🌟 Links & Socials - YouTube: [https://www.youtube.com/@getthenet_nz] - Apple Podcasts: [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/🎣-get-the-net-–-tight-lines-loose-lips🎙️/id1824558692] ✅ Follow Us - Instagram: @getthenet_nz - TikTok: @getthenet_nz - Facebook @getthenet_nz 🎵 Music Used ✅ Proctor, Topher Mohr & Alex Elena ✅ Satellites, Swello ✅ Momentum, Zplit ✅ Source (YouTube Audio Library) 🎥 Production Notes ✅ Shot on: Sony A7iii + Sennheiser Mics ✅ Edited in: Adobe Premiere Pro ✅ Shot, Edited & Produced by Nick Hoyle

    How One Kiwi Changed Fishing Forever — The Rise of JetSki Fishing

    How One Kiwi Changed Fishing Forever — The Rise of JetSkiFishing Andrew Hill is one of the true pioneers of JetSki fishing in New Zealand. Nearly two decades ago, when most people thought it was reckless or impossible, Andrew began converting JetSkis into capable offshore fishing platforms —laying the groundwork for what has now become a global movement. In this episode of Get The Net, Andrew shares thefull journey — from early DIY modifications to working directly with Sea-Doo on the development of the FishPro and ST3 hull. We dive into softbaiting from a JetSki, how to read conditions when you’ve only got one shot, and why JetSki fishing forces you to be more deliberate, efficient, and aware on the water.
