    What's your favorite fish that you've caught so far this summer??

  • @dericksmith2137

    No matter the price… if I open the fishing kit and see all that empty space, I’m definitely going to feel ripped off.

    • @yoboo8225

      At the same time though if the price is good then that means you have room to get some better stuff separately and it not just be full of junk that is useless

    Hey man, I know my opinion doesnt mean squat and I can only imagine the criticisms you receive as a youtuber but I just wanted to say I really enjoy the cadence of your videos. I really enjoy how your editing allows the sounds of nature to give body to your videos and they are not overwhelmed with music. When you do apply music it's done wonderfully. Not overbearing, perfect volume, used for purpose and not fill. You've become one of few fishing tubers that I regularly click ASAP when a new video drops. Even with no "suspensful" music I've come to recognize the cadence in the "silence of nature" moments when a catch or something exciting is about to happen. Keep doing you brother. Your videos are relaxing and incredibly enjoyable. Thanks for the work you put in to proced the content.

    I don’t know if anyone else has said, but there is a trick for eels. Lower them back into the water and they will relax and straighten back out. Then you can lift them slowly and pop the hook out.

  • @HunterTN

    As someone who doesn't live around saltwater but has fished on vacation these little kits are pretty decent. If I lived on the coast it wouldn't be my first choice but if you're just wanting to surf fish for a week or have access to inlet/bay areas I think it would work. I learned how to tie my own surf rigs watching YT videos but some things like pyramid weights and specific saltwater gear aren't going to be available at my local stores. The one thing I like about saltwater fishing is you have no idea what you're going to pull out of the water.

  • @jkasaunder228
    @jkasaunder228 Год назад +39

    Amazingly, That eel you caught is possibly a European eel that is traveling to spawn. They usually live in the UK and around Europe in freshwater, But travel to the Sargasso sea to spawn. Then the tiny baby eels spend a few years swimming back. over 6500km. Look it up, It's really cool .

    • @yootoobecansoogmiballs8735
      @yootoobecansoogmiballs8735 10 месяцев назад

      Youre right! Its an European Eel that is on his way to the sargasso sea, its already pretty emaciated. But its weird that the eel took the bait because eels like this dont have an stomach because it regressed over the journey, they consume pretty much all of theire body mass during the travel, reproduce and then die. You can identify them by their headform and the completely white belly (usually its more yellow but when they go for theire mating grounds it turns white)

    Since you’re in the area, go to the Amelia Island River, go to crane island and you can go onto the crane island park and fish off a dock. I’ve caught a whole bunch of stuff there you can see manatees

  • @rickysegura6173
    @rickysegura6173 Год назад +1

    Reason why hooks are bigger for saltwater fishing is you want to hook the fish not have it choke your bait. Bigger bait= bigger fish always just like bass fishing. Most small fish won’t hit live mullet, or any other type of bait fish unless it’s a good sized predator. Try Carolina rig near jetties. And get some spider weights with a triple swivel, throw some cut bait for reds usually lady fish, horse mullet or finger mullet are good for that. Love how you don’t just stick to what you know. Been a follower for a long while. Keep on it and good luck to you out there brother.

    I noticed after using a gulp soft plastic try putting it back into the bag. You cant leave a gulp soft plastic on your hook. The soft plastic will get rock hard. The reason i guess, its the ingredients in the the attractant can cause a reation with long exposure to the air.

    In the uk we get plenty of eels in the sea. That one looked like one of our European silver eel that breeds in the Sargasso Sea. Just use a rag to hold the eel or you middle finger holds it between the index finger and the one next to your pinky. Anyhow, looks like you had a great day and lots of species.

    2 of the good ole flat fishes and 6 species in total! Not too bad for a day of just messing around fun fishing. Especially from a Wal-Marts starter kit. Most of the people that would typically buy one of those are beginners and pretty much just want to catch anything they can, so I'm sure they would have been pretty happy about a 6 species day. I would have liked to have seen it include at least some more weights and spare hooks. Because if that kit was all you had and you broke off you would be pretty screwed pretty quick! It's definitely a viable place to start for a beginner though and is a pretty decent and good sized tackle box with plenty of room to build on.
