That's how a real fisherman does it! A hunk of wood with some hooks. Today's hologram, lazer finished, life like repros are almost unfair. Nothing beats my big Danny in the Westport surf.
Great fishing fellas. I just wish you'd remember that when you hold the fish to TALK, she is HOLDING HER BREATH. Please be quick with the de-hooking and post fight photos.
Tossing metal lip plugs for big bass has always been a thing, on boat, on shore, day and night. Capt Rob might be one of the few guys having his clients work this approach, however, it is not unique by any means. Up and down the coast folks are doing it, even landlocked striped bass...and it is TRENDING #crushyourbarbs

Whats the most reliable casting reels for plugging? I plan to buy a new rod and reel for casting and seeing if i enjoy it better than with bail less... Thanks guys!
@skipman4735 yea, im pretty fucking tired of mauling fish. Doesnt make me feel good to see a treble buried to the hilt in the face or body of a bass (or blue for that matter)
@@OnTheWaterMedia Is the action different from a XH bass rod the same length? I'm looking for something similar without the extra stiffness of a bass rod to cast 6in to 7in glide bait & swimbaits for Snook & Bullreds on southern Tx Gulf coast.
Awesome catch! looking forward to the convention in providence this weekend! love your surf and on the rail videos too!
Thanks Ethan, and thanks for watching our series! We'll be there all weekend - stop by the booth and say hi.
Awesome fellas! my local water, can't wait to get out in the next few weeks!
Awesome fish! If only boat fish counted 😂😂
right outta the home town, love to see it
Such an amazing video! Love plugging from a boat! Nice work!

Nice catch Jimmy!
Thanks!

They were honestly pretty quick getting those fish back in the water.
You sound like a girl
Shut the hell up
Let's see you handle a 50lb striper. People who whine about holding a big fish have never tried to hold a big fish
If y'all love em big ol muskie baits you should try the shallow invader and the hell hound glider.
Have a couple hell hounds rigged up for stripers, but haven't thrown them much. - Jimmy
Nice fish Jim. You gonna be tossing some metal lips in the canal this summer??
Without a doubt.

Also guys remember how to hold a fish. Really?
Are they called time and tide plugs? can't find that name anywhere
Time&Tide Lures made by Kevin Brennan. Here's a link to his instagram: instagram.com/timetidelure/
I love the bottle plugs but have trouble with the top treble hanging up on the leader. Any suggestions?
Sometimes snubbing down the line at the end of the cast straightens out a plug and keeps the hooks from fouling on the line.
any info for rods, reel, braid?

Captain Rob was using the Shimano TranX 400HG, but Abu Garcia and Daiwa both make large baitcasters that can work as well.
Wondering how many inches it was
That's what she said when 😎
What rods are you guys using
Would switching out the trebles for big singles negatively alter the action of the plugs and/or decrease hookup % ?
They do decrease hookup percentage
Inline singles and crush the barbs. By the time you try to unhook the trebles
I'm unhooked and casting to another fish. Way less damage to the fish.

How many pound test using,and rod reel
My guess. Medium Heavy Rod with 50 lb braid and 60lb flouro on a Shimano 400 Tranx
Rod was the St. Croix Mojo Inshore 7'9" XH, Reel was Shimano Tranx 400HG, line was 65 braid.
What low profile reel was used ? Thanks
Looked like a Tranx
Looked like a Tranx. I own a few - amazing saltwater baitcasters
Shimano Tranx 400HG
need to set the hook or sharpen your hooks.
A lot of times they swipe at the lure and get hooked in the side of the face and gills and hooks pull no matter what you do
I can almost guarantee you that a super strike little neck swimmer will do the job
What brand is the rod?
St. Croix Mojo Inshore 7'9" XH

What were those reels?
Looked like a Tranx. I own a 200, 300 and 400 - all amazing

Late May, why show now?
To concede with our TV season on NBC Sports Boston, which runs Jan to June
Hey do u run charters highly intrested
Hmm, 65# braid with an 80# leader... Wonder why you guys are straightening hooks and split rings, destroying expensive fancy plugs 🤔
