I need your kayak! Man that striper was large!

Great video and audio. Good tips and observations.

Awesome video. that was a beautiful fish you caught.

Congrats on the big striper!! We use them for bait here to in FL but we call them pogies down here. Great king mackerel bait!!

New subscriber and glad to have found your informative videos. Hope to get my yak in the water to catch those stripers soon. Tight lines..... Keep up the good work !

Love the videos man you inspire me have a great day man stay up 💪🏻

That little plastic coil on the hook was an old snell that I cut off. Very happy with this as a *basic* step to catch the big one! This week I have a 10k subscriber video giveaway + a what I do for a living vid with it. Time to put the big boy KZread pants on.

EliasVFishing hey Elias, great video. I'm doing some live lining soon for bonefish and was wondering if I was okay to use 50 lb braid instead of 80. I have about 145 yards of It too

Nice fish! I am starting to catch schoolies on the beach by my house in Throgs neck😃

Very cool video,thanks for sharing.the bass are just starting to get here now from what I hear.I like though the nose and then trim the tail to slow him down.

Great video!

Dude catches, pure respect to the soak

damn your good nice vid as always good information on hooking bunker thanks

Very pretty fish.

Nice. Just learned something. Thank you

Awesome Video.... thanks !

I make lures for a living, and have often thought of making a striper plug that could be filled with chum or oil....what are your thoughts?

Nice Elias, can't wait to get the kids on some of those fish man lol

Lowell DePalma 25lb flouro covers it when no blues around. 3 to 4 feet. Fish 3/4 oz to 1 1/2 oz depending on depth and current

U normally use barbless hooks?

EliasVFishing Hey Elias, thanks for making these videos, it's definitely helping me step my game up and helping me become a better kayak angler. I was wondering if you could make a video specifically towards how to find and snag bunker. Thanks bro

Look for disturbances on the surface of markings on your fish finder. Throw bunker snag into the school. Reel and rip. Reel and rip. Take bunker off snag.

They make ballon sliders that's an take off ur line ,just twist I use them for gaint bluefin tuna on a big fish the inverts will push out an the outer will fall off ,that way it won't get caught in ur to eye or rollerguide

Nice Video

Another awesome video! Thanks for sharing! Is that a homemade bunker bag/livewell or did you buy that somewhere? I would like to get me one. I think that would be perfect for keeping skipjack alive here on the Tennessee River.

Hey man, have you tried a sabiki rig for bunker? I have a feeling it would be really effective for them if you bait the rig.

They dont hit hooks/eat bait.

How do you like the Hobie Revo?! I like the extra speed but the space inside the boat is not great. Very slim on the sides rails. I dont think I would be able to give up my side trays in the Outback.

Do you drop the bunker to the bottom

If you use the mouth closed method, and it eventually dies, it’s gonna float back up to the top of the water quickly? Right? Because it’s dead?

I didn't see it in your video but when you are trolling a live bait like this do you have to do a hook set or does the forward motion set the hook for you. Thanks

@LongIslandtoMd

6 жыл бұрын

Yes, you still need to set the hook. Even if trolling the bunker.

A bunker hit my lure before so I guess I was lucky it was my 1st one I was like woooow what’s this

I caught perch and salted them up and froze them ! Would striper eat perch ?

yo that first bass on that live bunker was a fat beast. "yeah son fish on". i figured that about the bunker if u pinch his mouth he'll dig a little deeper.. wasnt to sure.

@EliasVFishing

Yeah had the girth for sure. Was about 38"/39" feasting on bunker. Guessing high 20 pound class pushing 30. I don't go crazy with measurements or weights on a nice fish unless I know it's THAT big. My main concern is getting just a shot of it quick and sending her off without killing it.

What is the bunker holder u have.

For 2021 only circle hooks when out for Stripers on bait in NY waters. You can bet DEC will be checking.

Nice fish, how do you like the new boat?

Bro you don’t even have to troll or move it just let the line out and bro if the bunker are deep if you see streaks on the bottom going up the bass are at the bottom budy

I’m never watching videos where the fisherman buys all this equipment, line, and hooks,etc. and catches a nice fish, only to put it back in the water. What a waste of money and time if you ask me. I want fish for dinner...😉

I am sorry but that is just to big of a hook I am surprised you even hooked one though

I have a tip for you. Don't handle and leave the fish out of the water that long for a camera shot especially If your just gonna release them.
