Aloha Elias. Not gonna lie. I’m not from the east coast, and it took me time to appreciate you. That said, I appreciate the no bs, I’m not gonna lie, and especially the dark humor. I’m 61 and feel like I’ve been following you for decades, just be you and true.
Just fish strictly for largemouth by throwing the most overpriced 3/8 oz spinnerbait u can find into a foot or less of water at the bank anywhere on the NE Cape Fear for consistent Bowfin entertainment...works everytime. Thanks for consistent uploads! Take care
Elias, I don't think your previous opinions have hurt you Just keep being you. Glad to hear what you have to say. I love catching Bowfin. Caught some big ones down here in the Everglades. Some people make fish cakes out of them Thanks for taking me along
one of the best fishermen on youtube.
17:00 Snakehead will probably make their way into NC eventually. They have made it into the james and york river in Virginia.
We call those bowfins….grinnel, here in MS. Those were a prize catch to us kids fishing in every bayou and ditch some 35+ years ago. True story…when i was 10-12 years old, me and friend caught one 4-5 lbs using a piece of bologna as bait. We filled up a plastic kid’s pool with water from the house hydrant and put it in there. Later that afternoon we went back to check on it, and his dad, from south Louisiana had scaled it and it was in the fridge. Those are one of the most fighting fish pound for pound. Thank you for the vid. Brought back a lot of memories. Thank you again. God Bless
I'm 53 and I finally found the perfect kayak for me. Old town sportsman 106 powered by Minn Kota. Its worth the money. I'm so glad I didn't spend the extra money on the 120. Its a completely different kayak.
It's so cool down there.. I bet people that have never seen it in person it blows their mind to see your surroundings
Hey Elias. On a personal note. I'm 76 just survived Open Heart, plus 3 additional stints and Dec.26th I'm having my carotid artery cleared on12/26. I'm looking forward to getting back in my 120 auto. Mostly primitive launches. I may move down in weight to the ePDL weight. Meh it's actually heavier so nevermind.
Primitive launches 😂. I got a 10ft Jon boat I put retractable wheels on. I slide it in the bed of my frontier and go wherever I want. I got a little 4hp Johnson and the trolling motor on the bow and it's the best. I can drop it anywhere. Any body of water around the Philadelphia area I'm patrolling 😂. I wish we had bowfin and gar up here though. When is a little warmer there is a decent snakehead bite in some of ponds, Schuylkill, and creeks. They are very frustrating sometimes
As a former striper guide and tournament fisherman for them, you gotta love a good stripe bite. There are some real giants swimming in TN. Good stuff Elias
It's wild how well stripers do in east Tennessee, you never see a small one.
looking forward to florida vids - you should have plenty of action, good to delay trip for the weather
NICE fishing and scenery again, thanks!
My old 2016 Hobie Outback still does the job for me...anything bigger or heavier I don't want! The Mirage Drive GT is durable and very dependable, not like the newer drives...catch a lot of nice fish out of it...
You should come up north in the summer and go for some northern snakehead. They are a blast
Per your earlier video and the feedback about cutting the tag off the fish - that's what the NCDMF recommends. And yes, the tags are sometimes too dirty to read/photo when trying to release quickly. The hats are nice too! You should share details from the data they send you (besides the spot you're fishing) in a follow up video. I caught a Striper 2 years ago that had been tagged pre-Florence - 7 years prior. Was fascinating to see how it had grown and how close it was from where it had been tagged initially.
“she will half listen” lol. Yup pretty much same story over here. Great video.
That sure looks fun! I’m 65 & still floating my local rivers and creeks. I definitely need more recovery time than I used to.
I fish mostly freshwater for green and brown bass and I'll never understand the hatred for bowfins. They fight insanely hard and are downright one of the coolest fish in North America.
Same shit as there is in UK between the stocked trout fishermen and pike fishermen. Some people need to feel they’re superior than others,because they were dumb enough to pay lots more money. Don’t skull drag fish Elias !
@@CrimeVidskull drag? Please enlighten me
Great video, I am cool with bowfin. It looks like a fun fish to catch.
Good that you waited to head to Fla. Lots of rain and some crazy winds. The Sun finally came out , the water here is dirty now with a lot of fresh water coming through.
Thanks for the adventure.
Cheers
Solid work as always man!
Get that bowfin citation submitted
Love the creek videos, keep them coming
Fun to watch you having fun. What a great fisherman!
The weather down here in fl has suckkkeeedddd.
Keep up the bowfin videos! Those things are frickin cool
In south GA, we called bowfin blackfish. We would occasionally do a fishing trip just for them to one of the nearby creeks and we'd first catch some small brim or better yet redfin pike and use just their bottom belly as a jerk bait. Easy to catch them with that bait. I remember one night about 1am we checked some set hooks we had put in the creek and caught a blackfish which we took home to feed to the hogs. We left it on top of the dog box in the back of the truck and at daylight when we started out to check the hooks again since the bowfin can breathe air it was still flopping around.
You must not know about the new RUclips rule. If you target Mudfish and catch one, you have to eat it! LOL
Time for a bowfin ccc, bro! We used to eat them in SC when I was little. My grand dad didn't throw anything back that big. Better if cooked fresh. Merry Christmas!
I used to live in Morehead.
Good stuff! Time to go south again.
I'd like to see a catch and cook on Bowfin. We call them Grennel here in Alabama and few eat them due to the poor texture of the meat. I'm sure a good chef like you could mske it taste delicious though!
Maybe 1 in 50 stripers i catch on the upper Roanoke will have duller almost brown stripes and they tend to have yellowish fins, always wondered what the deal is with them.
The bowfin are super hard to target, best way i figured out was running cut bream 1ft under a bobber, giving the bobber some action draws them in, then they see the cut bait. They will not hit topwater tho, they'll just follow topwater baits, thats how i figured out the shallow cut bait under the bobber.
Theres a stretch of goshen swamp in duplin co where i would target them in the summer, super unique spot, no big boats would be perfect for a yak.
Summerlin crossroad rd.
What a great intro , and another great clip
Fished the western shore of the Chesapeake for stripers one night last month; snakehead comes cruising along tight to the rocks. Salinity was 15ppt so they can handle some salt.
We call those Choupique (shoe pick) in south Louisiana. Bowfin, Grinnel same thing. Great fight. They are actually pretty good to eat. The trick is that you have to keep them alive until you're ready to clean them. Dispatch them, clean them and keep in an ice water slush, but cook them quickly thereafter. As long as the flesh is firm, you're good to go. If it gets soft, trash it. I've only fried them, but they were very edible. Give it a try if you ever catch one from clean waters that's not contaminated.
Ever consider a hobie lynx? At 51 years old I started dreading the oldtown MK106’s weight and am so happy inshore, brackish and fresh with a sub 50lb lynx.
I really like the lynx. Might be next purchase since this will probably replace the Hobie Outback for me.
You sure aren't missing anything here in FL by staying home this week, freaking wind blowing 20 to 30 mile gust all week.
Another great watch!
love the hoodwinks
For me, the kayak connection can't be beat. I grew up fishing NYC reservoirs where we had to renew a license every year and keep the boats chained up at the lake. The advantage was there was no motors aloud. Fishing pressure USED to be light. But it was you and the whole damn lake. The kayak is the same for me, closer to nature, I love watching the Kingfishers. I can get back in skinny water where the boat traffic is not. I paddle only, I debate spending the xtra money for the peddle kayak but I need the work out. I respect a kayak fisherman a HELL OF A LOT MORE than joe blow with his motor boat (had 3) and I won't even watch charter captain video's. Most captains are WHORES who could care less about the fishery, it's all about money. Great video as always. LOVE LOVE LOVE the bowfin ! Caught about a 6 pounder in up state NY, one of the best fighting fish for sure. If you could target them Elias it would be a fun video.
Very interesting Elias, Muto at submission fishing recently did a winter tips fishing podcast. Your video demonstrates the challenges and rewards of continuing to fish during the winter months. It’s really a bummer that the waters you fished although being productive, the fish are rendered inedible because of contamination. Since I do most of my fishing on party boats it's not likely I’ll ever fish from a Kayak. I noticed you always maintain contact with your bait, even on long cast you wind-up the slack after the pop so as not to miss strikes. That why your content is great to watch , even if one doesn't own a Kayak.
Your awesome brother, love the video!!!
Great video
Thanks for sharing
There's a 22-24" snake head in in the swamp behind my house (Brunswick Co.) . I know because I looked him in the eye as he spit my frog lure back at me. Come get 'em for me, Elias!
Really!
awesome! i need to get the yak out this week
Are you going back to Panama to get on some of those rooster fish and African pompano?
ah, forgot to say... It's real nice here today..
I have heard that there are some snakeheads up around Dismal Swamp close to the Virginia line. I've never been, but heard rumors of them up there.
👍😎✌
Good video.
Thank you, Sir.
Surprised see the striped bass on the chunk of blue crab.
Keep jigging😀
Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Have a great New Years 🥳🎆
Stripers eat blue and calico crabs up here in NJ. They really go after them when they start to shed.
I went out with guides a couple of times for stripers in the Chesapeake many years ago, they almost exclusively used chunks of peeler stage crabs.
Good old bowfin 🤣 AKA blackfish aka the rod tip assassin
i live in SC and the santee striper are pretty difficult to get dialed in. very rewarding once you get on a good bite
You look like the dad from the wild thornberrys with that stache lol. Wish that big striper would’ve stayed on.
Definitely a quick kayak that’s for sure. How’s the stability on it? Can you stand up?
What knot do you use for braid to leader?
I kind of curious to see what would happen if you dropped mudminnows under a float in that spot
Might be a fun one. Lots of stripers I bet but maybe some big bowfin also.
Nice
There's no better jigging fisherman on RUclips. Promise you
No bs, you're the man. I appreciate what you do
Haha it’s a low bar imo
But thank you
No, fishing is my passion. I do things similar to the way you do, but I fish land-based, or out of my boat. I catch a lot of fish too..
The way you graph those fish in your yak, position up, and work those jigs and baits in their faces is absolutely awesome!!!
Been watching since the sea-money days! Lol
I've learned sooo much from watching RUclips fisherman like you. I really appreciate the content!
I'm in Sacramento, CA. I have access to AMAZING fishing! Ocean-run giant white sturgeon, stripers up to 50lbs, massive king salmon, steelhead, trout in the Sierras, everything!! Blessed 🙏
"She'll half listen..." Don't we know it.
And the problem with beer barges is ?
If your going to eat a bowfin, dont kill it and put on ice. Keep them alive till your ready to put in the pan, cold will ruin them
Are these the flats you see coming into Wilmington?
Have you thought about a Wilderness Systems? Love my Radar 135 and it's not a wide trash barge so I can get some good speed.
Can I ask what body of water are you in?
Listened to a podcast with Capt Jot and he swears on grass pig powerbait for CF striper. I see why!
You used to say you loved KastKing 🤣🤣🤣
Still do 👍
I wish I could win this beautiful kayak
Your secret spots must really be secret! Why don’t we see other people fishing the spots you have been fishing lately?!
You really need to try eating bowfin you just need to keep them alive until cleaning or get them on ice never put water on the fillets they are the most un fishy tasting fish there are
