Everytime I fish I get nervous and excited 😂

Your drag wasn’t set bad bro, that was a big striper. You gotta have it somewhat loose so you don’t bend out those trebles. Nicely done man!

Your drag was just fine and handled it very good, congrats for landing that beauty and thank you for releasing, you are a true fisherman.

Love the original reaction 😂 Like a Lil kid that got his first bike. Good shit 👏

Great fun and inspiration to see such joy as you landed that fish. Thanks for sharing!

Good stuff! Just a tip with those plugs, it looks like you’re reeling a bit fast which causes them to dive against the bottom. Notice how it struck immediately as you paused to clean the Lens? It allowed the sp minnow to float back into the strike zone. That’s a hell of a first striper by the way, jeeeez.

I have the 10’ Okuma Rockaway M power! Unfortunately the lowest I can cast is the 115 on this rod which is 3/4oz up to 3 Oz Although the ML power of the okuma Rockaway can cast the minimum of 1/2oz to 2oz which can cast the calissa 110 since its 5/8oz! I recently got a new salmon/steelhead rod which can throw all my lures up to 1oz but if you’re looking for a surf rod, okuma Rockaway is awesome for the price Hopefully that helps!

Nice fish you need some cali covers it will help with your stick baits.

First time watching your "Channel?" and, as an old striped bass surf fisherman of the San Francisco Bay Area, mostly from the Cliff House and the Gate area, say Half Moon Bay to the south to Stinson Beach to the north with occasional forays to Santa Cruz to the south and McClures Beach to the north, I've caught a lot of stripers. Now I realize you were going after surf perch and were geared up for them and not stripers, but there's a few things I might suggest that may help you eliminate or at least minimize some of the problems you were having. 1., If you're goiong surf fishing, dress and gear up like you're going surf fishing, not for a casual walk on the beach while carrying some fishing gear. To me that means a good pair of chest high waders and a decent hooded rain parka cinched around your middle with a "Surf Belt". The kind I use used to ba available in Army Navy stores and were surplus and served two vital functions; a., if you were to get dunked by a wave (I've been there) they keep most of the water out. And b., they accept clip on pouches of various sizes that were made for the belt to carry your gear with you while you cast, follow, fight and land your fish. No running back and forth like a mad man to where you plopped your gear down to get a different lure/whatever. (Also keeps honest people honest when your attention is elsewhere.) While I prefer using conventional, revolving spool gear myself, I even made an 11' one piece spinning surf rod and topped it with a Penn 706 with 20# Stren for any friend I might want to take with me to introduce them to the sport. I use a conventional 11' one piece rod I made with a Penn Squidder that I narrow spooled. There is something I've noticed in a lot of recent videos about striper and surf perch fishing in Calipornia, which is everyone who is using spinning gear has never heard the advice of an old Indian salmon fishing guide, from "Down East" Maine: "When he pulls, you don't. When he don't pull, you do". Yes, the old pump and reel is still the best way to bring in a fish who can make runs. With a conventional reel, if a fish is taking out line and you keep reeling, the fish is still taking out line against the drag and that's it. With a spinning reel, if the fish is taking out line and you keep cranking the handle, every revolution of that bail puts another twist in your line which weakens and - depending on a variety of factors - may start to abrade it. Stop by Modern Bait & Tackle on Mission Street in San Francisco when you're in the area. Not only do they have great manufactured rods and much, much more, including tips and the latest info on runs, but they also do custom rod making as well. If Eddy Banta still hangs out there, tell him I said hello. Don't forget, "The worst day of fishing is still better than the best day of working".

Nothing wrong with the drag - with a big fish you gotta let it take some line to tire it out.

That's a pure breed striper. Nj stock descendant from over 100 years ago.

Where in California.??? I usually go to Half Moon Bay area

Good job on landing that fish. Looks like a 20lb class fish as it was not that girthy.. drag could be a little tight but I do not know the size of your line so it was fine.when the fish stops running take a few cranks but next time let the fish run when it wants to since it's a beach and doesn't have structure you don't have to horse in the fish and enjoy the fight.

That is good good.

I like those sp minnows. You can cast them a bit farther than other similar lures, if need be. I noticed your comment about it being a floater. Floating/suspending models are the way to go in the surf, usually. Something that won't dive past 4-5'. And you won't ever hear any comment about to light drag from me. If it doesn't spool you, it's all good. I prefer to fish as light drag as possible to get a good hook set, then let the fish run. If anything, you where working the reel too hard, and not using the bend in your rod enough to do most of the work for you. It is very hard on the gears in the reel to crank it like that. Either way, you landed it and have a life long memory of that great catch. Very nice specimen, especially for your first surf striper. And it was released to boot. Awesome.

Im sure you had like 20lb braid . That loose drag saved you

Congratulations! You are now infected with Striper Fever. It's a permanent affliction. One that I've had my whole life. Here are a few recommendations. Get a surf lure bag, waist or single shoulder. Running up the beach to change lures takes way too much time. Set your drag based on your line weight and rod action, not what fish you expect to catch, 6-8 lbs of drag will bend most rods properly. Want to catch more? Fish low and slow. Fish the night tides with minimum lights for rigging and unhooking only. Watch a few videos of the East Coast Striper fishermen. You'll never want to catch a sea perch again, unless you want to use them as a Striper bait. Love it!

Next time go targeting striped bass. F the perch hommie. She was over 20 lbs
