Just getting my channel started, I'm a 71 year old disabled male, just got a new mobility scooter so I can finally get to the water after having to take the city bus to one spot to fish in a wheelchair., love your channel Dude!
Subbed! Merry Christmas ✌️
@@TheNormanmurk Thanks Norm
@@superlazy3355 Thanks Merry Christmas to you!!!
Merry Xmas and wish you the best!
Andy were are you located? if you are anywhere near me. id love to pick you up free of cost and head out for the day for the day anywhere that fancys you and or anywhere you cant get to in the chair if you are interest?
I like the way you kept the guts on the hook. I've got to start doing it like that.
yes set the hook through the heart and the tough heart muscle will help keep the bait in place and help the hook set. Great all around video dude, very good camera work!
Yeah, me too. 🤠🖖
*I need to go fishing again soon!*
*That fish was beautiful!* 😍
Me too
The way you tied that bait on !!!
You have changed my life 😀
Thank you
So proud of fishermen as you. With catch and release, generations from now people will be grateful there were unselfish fishermen that allowed precious ocean resources not be irreversibly depleted. Extinction , as they say is forever. God bless you.
Thanks, and well put!
@@bradbaxter76 you sound as if you really need to see fish die to be happy
In many places these size redfish are illegal to keep as well.
It's because this size are considered the breeders. They lay so many eggs that they can sustain the population even if the smaller ones are harvested
Generations from now our countries will be beyond any help or beyond recovery due to the character of newcomers. They don't care about rules, bag limits, size limits. I see it everyday in Australia, and calling "authorities" is pointless. Also getting stabbed or bashed for confronting these people isn't in my best interest.
Westmen are the most caring but they'll lecture us everyday like we are the ones who don't care which is false.
Holyshit the inside of your vehicle looks like mine, all full of fishing gear.. 😆 I like how you point out a shark but keep walking twords it...
Absolute monster!! Im 15 and where I live, drums cant get that big. Ive caught some good sizes in a harbor where I sometimes go
Fantastic stuff. So glad to see him released.
He had to to big against the law
@@rustymccombs I thought he just do it for sport. Don't some people do that. Catch fish and toss them back?
@@StupidBadITCH yes most definitely! I almost strictly catch and release fish unless I can get a proper redfish. This fish is tightly regulated on what size you can keep from 18-27inchs. A large red like this is great for reproduction.
I finally started catching reds on the surf side of Pawleys Island using Sandflea flavor fish bites tipped with shrimp. I've yet to catch one on cut bait. Great catch!
That's what I use, and catch nothing but whiting, puffer, pinfish, lizard fish, etc.
@@takinisurvivalchannel3812 I had the same problem, but I found a pretty good channel during low tide, fished it once the tide came in and caught Reds, Black Drum, Pompano, whiting, and bluefish (and of course the always pain in the rear pinfish). Regardless, the largest Red I've caught so far wasn't even close to that hog you caught!
Thank you for posting this and for putting him back
New video = Incredible Animal time!
I love that you still feel such joy in this.
He’d be going back to my freezer then to the table top. 👍🏻🎣🐟🇦🇺
They are best prepared blackened in my opinion.
That fish is too big to keep, and is protected for a reason. Every time we've caught a big red, there have been people on the beach snapping photos. So don't think you won't be caught.
@@andyowens2645 What % of beachcombers know about state laws re specific fish, 3?
@@koof1776 Idk. Most avid fishermen I know seem to know most of the relevant laws. Not because they like to "follow the rules", but because they care about conservation. They care about having the next generation be able to fish/hunt. Only people i know who don't care about limits are drunk idiots who don't represent the vast majority of people who fish.
I am so happy you tossed that giant back - and as quickly as possible. Looked like quite the fun!
He released him because he was was the wrong size [to big] or out of season
2:32 lol when you yelled shark, I yelled back at my computer, "Catch Him!" as if you could hear me. lol.
Much respect to you,the fish and your joy at being out in nature..
I'm surprised you put your hands in the fish's mouth. We grew up catching blue fish and they will take your finger off. Nice catch!!!
Went fishing at Freeport last spring... while my son was wading out to cast, I see a shark cruising first gut... I just watched, because I didn't want him or my wife to panic. We got skunked that day, other than some small cats.
“cruising first gut.” What’s that mean?
@@carpballet I recon its kinda like when bucks go cruising for does. Ya know. Just checking out the buffet
@@carpballet a “gut” is the trough between sandbars.
Aside from the fishing it was nice to see that my truck is not the only one trashed on the passenger side😂😆😂
You must have to have an immense amount of line on that reel. Especially if your standing on the beach and the bait is in deep water
Yeah it's braid so it's thinner diameter. You can see even with it way out there there was only like 1/8" stripped off the spool.
midwestern guy here, very interesting stuff. Thank you
Gorgeous...incredible catch
Grateful for sure.
Looks delicious..
I said to myself, "now that's a fish mobile" when you opened your passenger door because I can relate. 🤣
Beautiful fish bro, great job landing it
That beach fishin looks fun as hell. Having your truck right down on the beach like that. Good fish
Nine years ago, late-October 2012, the Friday before Hurricane Sandy struck New Jersey I had action from passing schools very big bluefish _and_ big stripers. I had the big baits (half a bunker) set out but these fish decimated my tackle even the wire leaders. I gave up the bait fishing after a half-hour and didn't do much better with lures. My plugging rods were no match for the big bluefish which shredded everything. In just under an hour it was all over.
In the aftermath of 🌀 Hurricane Sandy there was almost no sport fishing that fall and winter. Recovery was the order of the day. I spent some months upgrading my gear. Almost everything pre-2012 was retired.
Were they feeding bcuz they sensed the storm ?
I fish the Delaware Bay often,Cape May!
@@JackycClark I had the impression that the changing barometrics were influencing the action. I haven't encountered anything like the action I describe in my first comment since. There have been separate feeding blitzes, primarily stripers, in the years since Hurricane Sandy. Fun and productive. The Bluefish runs that I grew up experiencing all seem to have disappeared. Many wise anglers assure me that the blues have gone offshore. It used to be that much of the month of October could be counted on to showcase inshore bluefish blitzes of startling magnitude. Wave-running blues swimming through the sunlit swells. Those were really something. Eighteen to twenty pound bluefish just waiting to shred one's fishing tackle. Yes, those were really memorable.
@@chuckyoneil2853 How was this past season for you? Any weakfish action?
@@TralfazConstruction Well off the boat I caught bluefish,flounder,striper no weakies and that's what I was looking for.I had alot of luck with weakies off the jetties in the Villas if you know that area,the ferry goes across to Delaware.
Looks like you're using a Penn Slammer! Brutally tough reels that last forever with minimal maintenance. I have the SSG4000 myself and the design is extremely simple. Quality craftsmanship with 5 Ball Bearing is all a reel really needs. I've have Penn Reels with 10+ BB and what happens is dirt and sand get into the bearing and the smoothness is gone within 2 to 3 years.
Congratulations on a big redfish I've just subscribed to your channel hope I will see some more great videos like this one
Nice Bull!! Pound for pound a Redfish fights harder than a shark. When you said head shake i screamed Red at my phone lol
True story, my brother caught one about that size while we were in a swamp. He was using ultra-light gear with a minnow for bait. Took about 15min. to pull in. We were fishing for sunfish.
your brother caught an ocean (not inshore) redfish in a ...swamp... on ultra-light gear? ok pal
@@DrewsOnFirst The swamps meet up with the marsh here in Southern Louisiana. In cool weather redfish for some reason come up in the swamp. We were not out for reds that day. Most people catch their redfish in the marshes down here.
@@mwillblade we catch specks and reddish in bayou st john in New Orleans.
@@matthewmaynard5460 Know where you're at, I do most of my saltwater fishing in Lafitte or Port Sulfur. Have caught redfish in the industrial canal also. How's the fishing lately? I think last year's hurricane still has fishing inland kind of screwed up.
BAHAHAHA... 🤣 I bet that Fish was A BIG SURPRISE Then , thinking y'all was gonna catch Sunfish . 🤠🖖
Why I LOVE Surfcasting!!
Congratulations, thats an awesome catch!!
Oh! My favorite!! Redfish. Awesome and huge dude- a keeper I Think.
Best ever marinsde for the Redfish fillets. For sbout 2 to 3 pounds of fillets;. In a bowl- empty 1- 12ozbottle of yellow mustard, add 1 bottle of Lousiana hot sauce, 1cup of milk, mix well add fillets, cover and refrigerate overnight.
Your choice of batter, I like to remove fillets from marinade bowl and roll/cover 'em with corn meal .Deep fry to golden in your choice of oil. This will put s glow in your belly and a smile on your face. Guaranteed.
Great video buddy I wish I was on the beach right now fishing but I live too far away I'm about five hundred miles west
You make me wanna fish again. Maybe 2022 will be a better year. Time to heal and be better.
Dude! I don't know anything about this channel this is my first time watching a video but I'm subscribing because as soon as I seen the messiness of that vehicle I knew I found the right one. I just love to see a person who's a real person whose stuff looks messy and lived in like a real person! If I was out doing this stuff that's exactly how my car would look too, video camera or not. Keep up the good work!
Shows a cluttered mind
@@sting1111 thanks
Stunning Catch - top job sending him back
DEFINITELY
Man that’s a nice catch ,the longest one I’ve ever seen was 48” but that was off shore on a production platform. Never seen it again.Keep fishing buddy
Venice Louisiana. Tons of big ones, caught a 46 incher
Just caught a 48 inch musky last Thursday and it was Amazing!!!! What a big, beautiful, and stinky fish. Lol. It feels so good to catch and then release and return these beautiful animals back to where they belong. Good catch bro!
Catching a musky sounds awesome!
What a great catch and release, real cool video.
Total Respect. Been there a million times with no cam.
Geeez, I miss doing this. Grew up in Houston, settled in San Antonio. I and friends tore up Galveston island in the 70's and then big shell on padre island in the 90's. Retired to east Texas on inherited farm, fresh water when I can. I still can smell that salt water. Ate nearly everything I caught. Good luck. GOD BLESS GOD SPEED GOD WINS.
Use a rubber band to help keep bait on the hook. It works exceptionally well on clams for stripers.
@@Quagula Also. Layer them in kosher salt over night to toughen them up for the hook. Clam...salt...clam...salt.
good to see you put it back the seas are already well over fished !
yeah, but guys with fishing poles on the beach aren't the problem.
Good man for returning it to the surf.
AWESOME!! Man I LOVE the tug of a big bull RED! Great job Bro...subbed.
Nice to watch. I used to do a lot of fishing in the UK. The North Sea and North Atlantic are very cold so surf fishing isn't so common there!
Nice catch brother! I had a feeling it was red!
Just came back from a week at Cape Hatteras...red drum city! If you want to catch big fish, you have to fish for big fish.
That's a bull red! Great video as always!
Thanks for the release. Nice to see once in awhile.
Awesome video, great catch and release 👌
That fish had a head like a pit bull. 😂 New subscriber.
Nice! Question, Ive been surf fishing most of my life. I see a lot of people doing this, why stand so far away from.the water and fight fish? I get the diatance to the water may seem longer on camera. I ask, because I set up with rod holders in the water. Ive never had a rod holder fall over, etc. Just curious. Thx.
For me personally, I try to park my vehicle about ten feet from where I know the high tide line is going to be and keep most of my gear in one place for convenience (so most of what I'm doing is far back from the water as a result). I do put the rod holders a bit closer to the water and you're right, it's not quite as far as it looks. I'm personally terrified of the possibility of a rod holder falling in the water, even though it's never happened. I also mount my camera on my vehicle sometimes so it also helps if everything is closer to the camera if I'm not wearing it.
Yup, when we go (frequently in the summer), we move our gear with the tideline, typically start right at the water's edge, but mostly so we don't get in the way of people walking on the beach. Course they still walk under our lines, which is fine. I just won't want someone getting hurt.
I always stay a distance from the shore because of that one time the freak rouge wave took my gear out and sunk the front of my truck..
Very nice redfish. Whats even better is that you returned it to do whatever reds of that size do, mostly eat and reproduce. After catching many more than my fair share of reds in SE Louisiana, the best table fare is "the legal size" is up to about 21-22 inches unless you're fishing in a tournament.
2:04 the suspense was killing me, I thought my was was winding up to throw
Great you let him go! Thanks for sharing....
In Philippines, there's no way that big fish would be free from being cooked! Hahahaha!
Their illegal to keep in most of the United States
Very very true
In Fl can keep if 18” to 27”. 1 per day
Redfish taste worse if they’re too big
Good one! I used to surf fish a lot. Nothing like it! You never know!
Wow there's red in on beach side i thought only on bay side in shallow beautiful fish i been trying get nice one for yrs great job
Huh?
@@daviddowney9810 reds the fish
nice fish and nice to see him returned.
Great video! You're enthusiasm for the sport is awesome 👌
Nice catch, Respect for the release! Fish forever....
Beautiful fish looks like it would Great eating
600 dollar fine for keeping a redfish that big in florida. Not to mention them Taking your fishing gear on top of it. So add whatever your fishing gear costs to that 600 dollar fine.
Not worth the risk unless youre about to starve to death or something. Best to let the breeders keep on breeding anyway
@@commenthero2514 what is the legal size to keep ?
@@albingatdula8163 no less than 18 no more than 27 inches last I checked. It changed alot, and varies to certain parts of florida too lol I'm in the panhandle
@@albingatdula8163 That depends on the state, but the slot is nearly the same along the East Coast with a few variations. In South Carolina, a red drum must be at least 15 inches and not larger than 23 inches to keep. But you can only keep two per person per day. So check your local laws if you're going to fish for these amazing fish. Also, all red drum (regardless of size) are protected in federal waters. Gotta let them go regardless of length.
Bull Red! NICE CATCH!
Thanks!
Nice C n R bro!
Let um grow more and reproduce ensures fun times for our future generations to enjoy catches like this.👍
Unfortunately people from certain places don't realise this , then without restocking there's nothing alive in the river or canal anymore.
I would have started a fire right then. But I do appreciate people that release fish so they can grow larger and increase my PB's. Great video!
A lot of places have a maximum size you can keep in redfish, like florida where I've caught them then same size as the video they want to keep big breeders in the population to sustain the fishery. It was actually too big to keep.
Nice catch and release I'm glad to see since we are so flourished in already commercial animal kills that we can release our catch back into the wild
I eat everything~
That fish is 100% protected because of its size. State laws vary, but that one is bigger than the slot for any coastal state in the U.S. Beautiful fish.
Just looking at the inside of that truck makes me ITCH!!! LMAO!!!
Huge red! Can't wait to get out there myself
Man, that looks like alot of fun. I miss fishing.
Bravo on the release...great vid...Beauty of a Red
If you want to catch a small surf shark on a dinky spinning rig, use a head section of a skipjack with some guts exposed.
I once threw out a whole 16" one for a kid on Bob Hall and he caught a very nice hammer about 10 ft on his 12/O. I dont know what it is about the "lady" but it makes a terrific bait fish almost whole or chunked. I have seen some fine bluecats caught on them too. But the next best bait is mullet for most fish. Except for live bait and I would choose threadfins for trout, pinfish for reds, and butter perch for tarpon. And finger mullet for snook and flounder. But you can buy live shrimp for most of those sometimes and sometimes shrimp is not best.
You should’ve recreated your profile picture
I love that you released it, nice job nice fish
I'm glad you are a catch and release fisherman, I'm a subscriber of your channel and watch all of your video's. Thank you!
@@Good-VS-Evil777 no need to be offended that someone likes that I release the fish. It says a whole lot more about you that the appreciation of catch and release upsets you than someone with the opposing opinion.
And just because you clearly don't understand how this works, my choice of what to catch and keep vs what to catch and release has to do with the size and (often corresponding) growth rate of the fish. Mullet and shad are an incredibly well populated species that fill the ecological niche of food base for larger predators, which means they are biologically equipped as a species to reproduce quickly and in large numbers. The larger fish that I'm trying to catch are slow growing and generally fill the ecological niche of predator and sometimes apex predator of their environment, which means they are not biologically equipped to bounce back from predation nearly as quickly, so I prefer to let them go.
Also there's, you know, length limits...
Don't recoil in horror that some of us appreciate letting large fish go.
Salam strike Dan Salam satu hobi sahabat.. Kerennnn keseruan strike nya.. Mantap.. 👍
Hey just a suggestion. Have you heard of Castaway Triggers for Spinning reels. I started using them about two years ago and they have improved my surf cast a ton. No more worry of me cutting my finger during my cast. You can put your back into your cast with no worries. Highly recommended.
Are you referring to the break away cannon? That piece that you put on your rod near the reel that has like a release trigger. If its the same thing you're talking about, I've wanting to buy it to try it out, but wanted to know about it first from an actual persons experience. On Amazon its called Break away cannon.
I got one it's easy to use and sense I use braid it keeps it from cutting my finger casting 4oz weights
@@jpmt4316 I have that one. I love it. Took a couple tries to the surf before I realized I had the placement wrong, but once I figured it out it has been a love - love relationship.
I agree, I started using Breakaway Tackles Trigger about a month ago

Respect for releasing it 🙏🏽
Glad You Released It,, But I'd Be Lying If I Didn't Immediately Think Of Eating Some Incredibly Tasty Creole Redfish Courtbouillon.
Bleeding heart
@@gwagb27 Nope,, It Works Just Fine.
Beautiful golden bronze colour of the fish...
Wow! That's a big red. Is that a live ladyfish that you used for bait? Great video. Thanks.
That was a cut up mullet
@@charlescarmichael5191 tell us your setting eg, what line braid lb , leader line, rod and reel thanks.
@@rohikam4205 penn spinfisher 5500 60 pound suffix braid, academy pre made red fish rigs comes with 2 per pack for like 3 dollars, spider weight. Depending on how bad the surf is will determine how heavy of a weight you use. If the water is calm or your bait won’t get moved by the water I just use a small pyramid weight
Awesome, big redfish!
About how far do you wade out usually when throwing big rigs in the surf?
I am guessing as far as you can safely.
past the first gut, gets you close enough to throw into the third
Looked like he went out to about chest high!
Water should 33 inches from bottom of foot exactly before casting
Love the blue eye shadow on that big beauty!!
Kudos on catch & release…it’s the joy of catching; these magnificent beasts!
I love seeing a skillful plan come together
Maybe try to clean up inside car, just a little! :-) Greetings from Poland!
It's hard to make it look clean when you have so much equipment and tools.
Maybe he needs a bigger truck with his youtube channel on it . That would be awesome.
Im more concerned on how he gets big fish not truck lol just saying
Lmao
You should see mine!
@@edwardvoluntad138 ;-)
so great to see that fish go back in the water, you are blessed my friend......
Thanks!
Beautiful catch and amazing releasing clip👍
All good,
Nice catch.
I sure miss fishing the surf.
Good job 👍
There's a shark right there so let me go in deeper lol.
Right 😂😂
For a one man show, this was great
If I'd have caught that Red, it would've ended up in a sauce piquant. What... you don't cook?
I don't need to cook every fish I catch. I prefer catch and release, especially for the larger fish.
Besides, when I do catch and cooks, I do them exclusively on my other channel.
Yes!!! Finally, someone who's car is a worse mess than mine.
Why abuse the Holy Name of God ? Why ?
Don't preach at me pal
Why you have to cast your beliefs on others Hendrik? WHY?? WHY???
😂
No one cares, they here for the fishing, not spiritual healing
😋
When the video started I was like "what's he censoring" but it was just water on the lense. Then 20 seconds later he was DEFINITELY censoring LOL
Agree 100% use live or cut mullet if no sand fleas available
It’s obvious you really enjoy landing them fish. Good luck buddy. Get them big uns.
That car is a rolling tackle box..haha.
Good video friend , i was just checking out your great channel and i joined up
