0:41Robert hooks a small roosterfish on light tackle, then lands and releases it.
4:32A humpback whale surfaces nearby while Dave continues fishing.
7:35Spotted rose snappers and yellow snapper join the dinner plans.
11:56A massive predator eats Robert's hooked bonito underwater.
14:18Tangled lines complicate matters as Dave realizes he also has a large fish on.
18:21Dave's roosterfish encounter reaches its landing moment beside the support boat.

Robert Field has something enormous on a small spinning outfit when his line tangles with Dave's gear. Then his client realizes he has a big fish on, too. Guiding a newcomer off Panama's southern Pacific coast suddenly involves two busy anglers and a call to Pedro's support boat.

That is the central predicament in "Offshore Kayak Fishing: GIANT Fish on LIGHT Tackle (Catch & Cook)", the only new upload on Field Trips with Robert Field this week. It has drawn roughly 11,000 views, taking viewers from an early roosterfish release through a humpback whale sighting and snapper fishing before the double hookup complicates proceedings.

The contrast in equipment supplies the comedy. Field describes them as both hooked up big, with Dave using the big rod while he works the little outfit. Beneath the video, viewers discuss the skill involved in fishing under-equipped, while others ask about the spinning reel and the knife's resistance to saltwater.

The new episode is also the channel's busiest video each day, followed by the preceding Panama outing, "Offshore Kayak Fishing: Panama Sleigh Rides (Catch & Cook)". Together, they give this week's viewing a clear offshore thread.

The subscriber count held at 275,000, while daily views are running below their usual pace. Among similarly sized outdoors channels, North To Alaska had a much bigger week, while Uncut Angling was quieter than Field Trips with Robert Field. Here, the useful detail is smaller and tastier: spotted rose snappers and yellow snapper make it onto the keeper list for dinner.

What viewers say

There is some love to be had hooking-up under-gunned. Puts more emphasis on the talent of the angler, rather than just having the biggest & best gear. Nice fight Rob.
