- If you are a subscriber to the channel you saw my big striper that I lost while plugging the surf a couple weeks back. Needless to say, we made up for it in this video. This was probably one of the most epic catches on the channel yet. This catch had it all! Check out the video to see how it all went down.

Yeah bro, thanks for rubbing it in😭😭😭
Great catch! What a battle
lol, next time its your turn!
Lol funny jun
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You are the flip flop master!
Anyone who can walk around those rocks in flip flops must have supernatural power in their feet.
dang man. fishing rocks with flip flops. what a beast.
Overcoming all those odds of tackle issues going wrong i.e. wrapped up in the rocks, frayed line and bent hooks then landing the fish shows what a truly great fisherman you are.
Mostly luck I think, but I'll take the compliment. Thanks!!!!
Stripers Love the Rocks nice catch!
YaaMaan , you know it !!
I just ordered 2 flahs minnow
i saw the striper pic a week before the video dropped, and for 10 minutes i STILL thought you were going to lose it! that's how nail biting this vid was, epic catch man!
I still can't believe I didn't lose that fish, lol
@@DieHardFishing Subscribed... saw you on "More than Fishing" :)
The whole time I was just like hopefully he doesn't run out of line 😬
Thanks for sharing this experience. You handled everything perfectly. I have not been surf fishing for more than 20 years. My PB Bass was 18 pounds caught from Strawberry Point. This looked much more difficult to accomplish. Congrats!!!!
Thanks, you should try it again! That 18 pounder must have put up one heck of a fight!
where is this beach located at? you said Bay Area but whats the name of the beach?
This is quite an achievement for a Pacific Striped bass.
Nothing but nothing feels better to me than that tap tap tap on my rod and then the realization you've got a heavy fish . Excitement overload !
What a great catch off the surf man!! Those stripers get huge and they fight like bulls! I'm definitely subscribe, good to see other RUclipsrs fishing channels from where I'm from, the West Coast. I see a few people commenting that they've been skunked a bunch of times and even though they are determined they're not landing them. I've been lucky to have caught a few stripers from the beach and there are a few things I've learned. Like someone stated, finding a good spot is at least half of the battle. I would mainly catch them off soft shell sand crabs here close to Monterey, California. When looking for a spot, I would usually look for rip currents, where the waves break and the place were there's pools. Another thing I liked to do is be holding the rod and be ready to set the hook as you can miss them sometimes when they spit the bait/lure out. Finally, last thing is that they have to be hungry and feeding at the time or else even if they're in that spot, they won't really bite. Thanks for the motivation, I'm thinking of getting out there again and trying to make some surf fishing videos as well!!
Thanks for checking out the channel and subscribing! Thanks for passing on all the knowledge!
Man, good job for being out-gunned. Flip-flop rock hopping...you must be one nimble sob. :)
lol, Die Hard Fishing at its finest!
Wow! Amazing catch! Great job handling that fish under difficult conditions.
This is my favorite striper video on RUclips. I also love when I catch something big when least expected. Great battle!
#giantstripersontherocksonflipflops
#diehardfishingyolo
Intense fight! Lol
lol, shorts and flip flops for the win!
What a wonderful adventure. Also a beautiful bass, your patience paid off. 🎣😎
Difficult spot to land a fish, especially in flip flops ! Well done
Im barely starting my fishing journey and this is quite the inspiration! Great video Subed
I think this is the craziest striped bass fight AND landing I've ever seen so far. Frickin' bonkers yo!
Isn't that how it always happens. You're bummed because friend flakes out, and you end up catching a big one.
daaaaamn!! That thing looked way more than 20lb. Good job man, that was amazing
well it was a little bigger than 20, I weighed it out and it came out to 21 lbs. lol
MY GIRL JUST CAME IN THE ROOM N ASKED IF I WAS WATCHING PORN CUZ I HAVE A HUGE GRIN ON MY FACE LOL GREAT VIDEO MAN!
hahahahahahahaha, Thanks for watching!
This no doubt is the battle of the year! Congrats man you bent all three hooks!!!!
Thanks for watching! Can't believe I managed to land that fish!
I love fishing I’m only 11 I’m coming to California to live I really want to catch the stripper bass
Right on!!! Good luck!
Where abouts you moving to? I've caught striper in the aquaduct, surf on cayucos dog beach and a lot in the delta. Good luck
Luv the fact that Ilu didnt horse him in. Luv seeing people that use their drag and the rod to do the work for you. Nice battle and definitely amazing fish!! Tight lines!!!
Horrible for the fish
What beach was this??
General location where i can fish for striper in the bay area??
Wow, you had my heart pumping hoping you would not lose that striper. Great catch
Where is this at ?
Where is this?
Ocean beach in Daly city

I have a confession Kid.
You make me jealous.
I have a bad competitive bone.
And you’ve kicked my As N Fish N.
God Loves You 4 Sure.

My Question… leave my lures in the box and pick up the Lucky Strike Lures.
After the storm I will try my new gear out.
I have been learning form your videos.
I also have a kayak that’s never touched salt water.
I’m nervous but not afraid.
I’m going to ask you one day to let me kayak along and learn more from you.
So I can B Winner Like You Kid.
This never gets old. Such an epic fight. You were brilliant as you maneuvered through the rocks 💪
were was the rock spot at
So Epic!! WOW! We all dream of that moment.
Where is this?
Nice catch 👌 I don't know how a 30 lbs braid line could resist that battle
Love your videos bro! What cost friendly rod and reel combo would you recommend for a beginner to start surf fishing?
Just saw this. All I can say is NO WAY! Awesome fish. Good job
it's time to upgrade to some VMC hooks !!
Thats right!!!!
Die Hard Fishing let us know what type of replacement hooks you use I need to replace a few hooks on my lucky crafts
Video coming soon!
@@n6yun VMC stock #7226 are made specially for hard bait lures when you want to loose the treble hooks
Haha that was sick man! What a fight 😎🤙🏽
Awesome Awesome !!! What a change of events no doubt! Thanks for sharing on the lessons learned from fishing on the rocks and the treble hook bending issue
Glad you were able to learn a thing or two from the video. Its amazing how one fish can turn a pretty boring day into a memorable one!
That was a great video. I live near Pacific CA so you’re video inspires me to get back out there 👍
Great catch... you did well.....one tip..... with 20# leader, you can safely have your drag 5-7 lbs. I watched pretty carefully, and I think yours was set quite a bit lower. Hopefully, this may help you with larger fish later on.
Hi bro, Im just taking up fishing at 60, and I've been watching a lot of your vids. Im trying to get what I need for surf fishing and rock fishing. I live in Humboldt County and can't wait to start fishing. No one seems to know if there are steipers this far north. what do you think
You have to have confidence in what you’re throwing!
You’ve got that right
Rick Knight so true!
Now with some XX Strong treble hooks on that Lucky Craft Flash Minnow you will have even more confidence in it! Great fight, great video!
Hanapaa!! Action!!
dancing on the rocks with slippers..Good Job!
My dude fishing on rocks with slippers not cool you should have bibs on with slip proof boots your crazy but good catch nice fish 🐠🐟 . You fought him perfect 😜🤣 brother . God bless you and your family and God bless all of you who are struggling and homeless because of covid-19
Wow epic battle!!and u got it on video!I fish a lot of the same waters u do,Hope we can shoot the shit sum day!keep up the great work...Your videos get my heart racing and super informative,but the best part is u don't throw the spot under the bus by divulging waypoints! Tight lines
Solid Striped Bass.
I’ll get the Lucky Strike Lures.
That was a hog. I live in Utah but born and raise in Lakewood, Calif. I grew up surf fishing. It's a blast. I landed a 65lb leppard sand shark off seal beach with a gruion one night right next to the jetti on north side of the pier. Almost 6ft long. Was so cool. Those barred perch are great eating as well as grey sand sharks. Your bringing back great memories. Love this channel for sure. What part of cali you catch that stripper?
Very well fought, man! I’m pretty sure “he” is “she” at that size.
‘You always have to have confidence in what you are throwing’. That is applicable to life in general, now if I too can apply that to fishing, finding a job etc....
A really exciting video and fun commentary. Great job all around! Subscribed! Where are those rocks???
Congratulations! Yowza! What a great fish you appeared to land with real experience! Full marks to you! Cheers, Colin.
Thanks for watching!
becareful in them sandals... good way to tear some shit
Were dis??
where by
Out of all the videos on youtube this was one that has to stand out the most for Stripers. You cast out for quite some time, changed locations- then played the heck out of that fish. No hurry no rushing as most would do,. Glad to see you landed it...was actually waiting for you to go hip deep in water to grab it myself. Not to many video can match this episode for fighting the fish.
lol, glad you enjoyed it as much as I did. I myself have watched it several times and am still not sure how I managed not to lose this one.
I just ordered my flash minnow
Great job on the fish bro... you deserved that big guy!!! Thanks again for all your videos!!!
Thanks for watching and thanks for the support!
Where you fish at?
🤙😎
good job and nice video. But I dislike it because you should wear at least a boots on rock not just slipper. Bad example.
DUDE!!! that was the best video Ive ever seen, thats such a hog of a fish. i need to get better at looking for the right kind of area to fish, i have no clue at all, but this video gives me confidence to get back out there again and keep trying. Thank you for making this video, and keep slayin it G
I hope your next trip is a memorable one!
Nice catch n I'm assuming yur eating it cause after all that time out of water after that battle I'm sure it woulda never revived!!!
I bet lucky craft gained at least 1,000$ from this video
Get some heavier gear if you are targeting big fish. Not worth damaging and killing fish that you might not keep just get likes on a video.
Awesome catch . I was holding my breath hoping that moment would not come we have all cried over when the bend in the rod kicks back and the fish wins and gives us the fin hahaha. Glad you taught him who the the boss is bro . You be da Mannnn !!!! : ? ) . I am sure that striper is telling his friends the story of how he got his ass kicked one day hahaha
I've seen about six times...never gets old!
That was sick. Your channel doesn't disappoint. What I don't understand is why you don't have 500k sub by now. People need to wake up.
maybe someday we will be there. If every subscriber shared my channel with 50 friends then we would get there, lol
Did you release it or did you take it home?
you need to promote your channel as well. get the words out, comments on other people's video so other can see your channel. there were so many channels i didn't even know about that i recently subs to because i never knew about them. all were word of mouth. sometimes, it just simple as that and creating interesting and good quality content really helps..
Thanks for the tips on growing the channel. Hopefully the big fish will help bring in some new viewers!
Where is this area if you don’t mind me asking I’m not new to ocean fishing but new to surf fishing and I just want to know of some decent areas to go to
I hope you eat that beautiful fish. i would. he won't survive after that battle. don't waste it. I'd be wearing boots and a life vest in that shit.
YaaMaan !! Really nice one !! For moments I thought it’s me catching it,, good luck bro, informational too !! God Bless Fishing forever.
Wearing flip-flops on the rocks?!
Crazy
What lines did you use? Braid? Pounds? Fluro leader? And pounds?
Hi
We’re is a good place to for surf fishing. And it a good time now in this mouth?
I've never fishing on the ocean but after this video I have to get there))
Where was that location?
Nice Stiper bro. I'm in Ventura and caught a 31" Stripe Bass about a month ago. I used a rubber burgandy centiped/sandworm looking thing with a tail. Funky soft bait I found on eBay.
Anyways, cool vid man. Thanks.
Right on, thanks for watching and congrats on your fish!
Where are you exactly,
Great job! I just caught a 37-1/2” two days ago in San Mateo. I used the same lure as yours and I’ve lost two big fish already because the hooks got straightened out.☹️
Hey, may I ask what beach was this?
Wow congrats! You’ve been running into some big fish lately.
The fishing gods have shined on me this week.
"This is gonna be a big fight.." (in slippahs!) ;D Congrats! What a battle!
What a fish! That looked fun. Congrats Adam!
Thanks Daniel! That last ling you got off the rocks was a beast!!! Bummer on the camera troubles, I've been there, lol. Happened to me on a Halibut I got off the Kayak last year. We should hit the rocks/surf sometime!
I know.. it sucks. But I'm definitely down to go fishing some time!
WOW! What a monster I should call you Flip Flop Fishing.lol..J\K Trully Die Hard good job bro...
Nice catch! How long was your leader?
The beauty of striper fishing is the battle between man and beast. Being on a striper in conditions like this makes it all the more worthwhile when you finally pull in your trophy. Epic battle man. You have to stay focused, calm, and you have to keep your composure throughout. You played this fish like a champ. Nice video buddy. You got yourself a new subscriber.
Thanks for watching! Hopefully more epic battles to come in 2019!
Try wearing a wader next time. Also what beach
Dayems! Another awesome catch. CONGRATS! I'm so jealous 🙄 You're right finding the right spot is definitely more than a half the battle (I have no clue of knowing).
It is definitely a learning game. I am always learning more about the fish every time I go out!
We should go on a fishing date if you're in socal
What a battle! Excellent video, even better fish 🎣
This is like the 4th time I've watched this video. I getting all pumped up for striper in the surf! Just around the corner.
lol, I've watched this video so many times.
Nice job bro
Can you take it home
What an epic fight. Enjoyed watching every minute of that fight. First that nice salmon now that striper. Definitely fishes of a lifetime brotha. Take care. Fish on 🎣
The fishing gods shined on me this week for sure!
Wow, congrats on your huge hog of a fish. Dude, after watching your videos, I've been out there for a stripers at Pacifica, Rockaway and ocean Beach at least 8-10 times and never caught a striper yet, not even a bite. I've tried softshell sandcrabs, kast masters, sp minnows, lucky craft, bucktails, Mickey jigs, list goes on. I've been out there for hours and hours plugging and casting but nothing but a few perches. I feel like just giving up. what the heck am I doing wrong? I know it's not supposed to be easy and need some patience, but I don't know how to read the water which you said it's like 75% of the battle. I have no confidence like you said when I cast my line out.
Waltsnoop I feel the same...🤔🤔🤔 but I'm not giving up just yet. I'm going to continue trying until I get one... GL to you.
Fishing is a learning game. Every time I go out there I learn something new. For example, this time I learned that the flash minnow hooks are no match for a monster striper, lol. Keep at it, I am sure you will catch one! Hope to see you out there someday!
Was at Rockaway beach a few weeks ago, lost a few on jerkbait. Guy next to me landed a 41" striper on anchovies... the next week, nothing... so it depends if those fish are there and wants to bite or not. Good Luck
Thanks for the response. What are you actually looking for in the ocean water when you're driving around? How do you know when to give up on a spot and move on to a new spot? Looks like some places you cast for like 10 minutes and another times 30min or more?
Waltsnoop look up videos on how to read the beach. I believe Rich Troxler has a great one on RUclips
All I can say is wow!!! 🎣🎣🎣👍
REDEMPTION! Seriously, congrats man! My hooks bent out too on my lucky craft when I caught an almost legal halibut. I've since replaced them with gamakatsu 2x trebles and they've worked flawlessly
how much stronger are the gamakatsu trebles, 2x you think?
I literally just bought some of those as replacements!
Change out all your sp minnow factory hooks too they are notorious for getting bent out on large fish
I've caught alot of striper on lucky craft jerk baits. I always put stronger hooks and split rings on. Nice fish though
