Thread: This Chap is truly wild

From swimming to shark infested waters (Is it really?) to catching huge fish, I guess all the result of putting in the hard work to fish places where others don't dare

I’m with you there, I can’t watch his videos. Not sure who his target market is, but it’s not me.

He’s trying too hard for the camera, started parading on dads safari park and finding it difficult to stop

Trying to copy Briggsy and Brooksy

Attention, is a hell of a drug

I watched the video last night. Have watched his videos on and off for a while. Totally agree with your comments. Found myself turning the volume down so my wife couldn't hear it as it was a bit cringey. If he could just tone it down a bit... that said, he seems to be doing well and probably doesn't care about the opinions of some grumpy old men on a hunting forum. Good luck to him.

Assuming its Joe without clicking link - nice bloke. He makes his money from it so good on him. Global audience so yeah probably not to worried about a few Kiwi purists

Purist might be stretching it a bit Gibo.

He gets an "A" for effort and enthusiasm. I knew I was getting old when his half naked girl friend started to annoy me.

His guiding mate he hunts with is a nephew of a long standing and hard case ex member of the old forum. Think religion and photography.

The videos where they are prancing around in the sea in togs in early spring like it's northern Queensland made me laugh. They must have been freezing their tits off!

I sometimes wonder how old bonyfoot is. When I reflect on some old of his old posts, it’s clear he wasn’t very well.

The influencer culture is part of what we tried to leave behind, I understand the business of it but I feel like making the constant effort to be a star would cheapen the experience of soaking in all that nature has to offer, but that’s me and to each their own. I certainly notice that the YouTube picture selling most fishing videos these days seem to have a bikini involved, which is weird because I almost never wear a bikini when I’m fishing so I don’t know what they’re trying to sell me?
One of the things I tell people about leaving the US is that when I would visit primary schools they would always have pictures on the wall of what the young kids wanted to be when they grew up “fireman” “teacher” “fish biologist” etc. The last few years almost half of em were “YouTuber” or “influencer” and I said…I gotta get my kids outta this place!!
Back on point…I do dig the local YouTubers showing me where to fish, helpful for a rookie.

He's living in Ireland.

Actually I did not see his Bikini vids until it was pointed here. I liked his land based king fish vids. I am from a hunting, fishing starved country and for me something like this is stuff of dreams. Thanks to these YouTubers we are able to at least see it if not experience it.

I know a friend's son in Aus, who makes 30~50k a month from youtube, because he is a guy who makes step by step vids, for one of those 1st person computer shoot 'em up games.

He's got about 1,000 videos of every granular aspect, of the game and all it's versions.

But then he's the one guy in a million.

For every one of him there are 999,999 who only make $5 a year.

And when his game goes out of fashion....

All that gaming will come in really handy...
