Your concern for the well being of that large redfish is more important than getting a measurement. Testament to your values as a full time fisherman. Well done.

It's more ridiculous to catch it just for sport. To me that's not right.

@@craigtheophilus2237 While I do not agree, I can understand the sentiment. That being said, if you are going to catch them, no reason not to try to ensure it continues to live afterward. To each their own.

I always watch on my TV but can’t comment.. This was so epic I had to go out to my truck and get my damn laptop to tell you how epic this episode was… lol😂 Thanks Matt, fan for life 😎#theBaldGorilla

Nothing sounds better than an open face spin caster screaming as the lines pulling …. I love it …. Fishing is like opening a box of cracker jacks ….. ya never know what you’re gonna get 👍👍🏆🇺🇸 what a great day

I wonder how many people under 40 didn't understand the cracker jack reference.

...Wow, Matt!....one of your best beach fishing videos ever!....really enjoyed it!...keep 'em coming... 🙂

I used to surf fish off a ladder when I was younger mainly for pompano. The sea life you see swimming in front of you and watching fish chase your lure in the clear water is so amazing.

So exciting -Man she was gigantic. The line held too , I was worried. Great to see the gorgeous beach, clear water, and great sportsmanship!! ❤

Great job Matt! BBB at its best! Keep doing you!!!

Thank you for making an old guy dreams come true.cant be there but love videos.

A couple of real nice fish there, Matt. Thanks for the video.

Great video. Beautiful fish. Thanks for letting me enjoy it.

O. M. G. What a day. I could watch this every day. Great job

What a fish!!!!! WOW!!!! Great job!!!!!!

What an absolute unit! And on artificial too! Congratulations!

Right on Matt. That was a bad ass Red!

Nice to see you back to your roots and beach fishing

Nice catch!!! Super cool. Thanks for the video and for sharing.

Holy moly! Awesome day fishing!! Great job!

Fishing is getting good down there buddy. Thanks for sharing! I got a bummy stick and a slammer prepped and ready for April! Pumped to get down there.

Thanks for sharing this vid....That was the most amazing Red Ive ever seen...Amazingly HUGE

Awesome drum! Great video!

Wish I could've been there! How exciting. Congratulations!

Congratulations on that stud Red fish. I greatly love watching your videos. I am from Ft. Walton Beach but I've been misplaced for about 16yrs now as we now live in the Berkshire mountains in western Ma. My wife and I greatly miss the beach but we get by watching your videos. We want to say thank you and to keep it up. P.S. I used to love fishing the beaches between Brooks brdg and Destin brdg. Just a beautiful stretch of shoreline.

Epic battle! Great light tackle action

Awesome trip Matthew. Way to go.

Outstanding work ,great fish. Congrats !

Beautiful catch. I'm coming down there in late April. Bringing all my gear. Had a great experience at your tackle shop when I was there over Thanksgiving, even though the bite was brutally bad that week. Very much looking forward to seeing what a week of surf fishing will be like there in April considering I've only fished down there in cold weather. I'll definitely stop by Beach Bum on the way to stock up. Your friendly employees won me over when I was there last time in November

Pretty work! Did this on Cape Point at Hatteras in the spring one time. 400 yards out on the shoal with small rays and 2-3ft sharks all around. Nervey. Released a 40 incher (guess). 45 minute fight.

I'm happy for you mat,you had an awesome day and I enjoyed watching

Thats some bad ass Redfishing Action 🔥 Naples boy here and we dont really get the Reds along the beach like that definitely not with any consistency,,, They used to invade the Naples Pier sometimes in the Fall where everybody fishing was catching reds like crazy !!! But right off tye shoreline n beach doesn't happen every year at a certain time like u mentioned up there in Panhandle,,,In the Fall our passes will stack up with Redfish and its fun and a yearly event but typically we catch our Redfish on the flats and Mangroves of the Back Bays and Back Waters ,,,

Wow. Just WOW!

That's exactly why I love fishing light line . It's so much fun you have to play them and know how to fight them correctly. One thing I might is using a longer rod will help absorb some of the shock of run and give you more leverage. I prefer a 11-12 rod when going for big fish on light line.

Epic battle, congrats!

What an awesome catch! Well done, great landing on light tackle.

Great video Beach Bum that was a beast of a red that was a great job getting him to the beach

What a day for fishing I have been watching u for years and it always gets better!

Nice work landing that lunker. That was pure fishing experience and skill to get it on such light tackle. Enjoyed the excitement! Thanks.

Great sound of that drag

Great job Bama. I’m going to Navarre next week. Hope I can catch one too.

Incredible catch. We never get those in South Florida. Congrats!

Let me just commend you on your art of film-making here. What makes any video entertaining is the story-telling, and your story-telling in this video is great. Keep the quality content coming. You're getting better and better at this YT stuff.

Outstanding catch,

Beautiful catch! Great video.

Look. At. That. Freaking fish! Great Job Matt !

Congrats on the monster Red!!!!

Good video, thanks! Have you tried popping corks? I haven't yet, but have some on order for when we go to the Corpus Christi area next month.

Great to run in to you yesterday! I know you earned those fish!

Nice haul. 😅 Congratulations on a great trip.

Fantastic video flick. Many of us can only dream of doing such. My day would have ended after catching and releasing that big girl. I once landed and released a 36 inch Kispiox river steelhead on a 9wt. fly rod. It was a magic moment but afterwards I had to sit down as my knees were shaking so much. On another note….Courtney would not only have caught a bigger red but landed the dolphin too! 🤙🤙🤙

That's Little Nellie. James Bond is taking on SPECTRE at the beach.

Oh my gosh, holy smokes what a day!!! That red looked more like the ship that fired the missile than just a missile!😂 Thanks Matt

Nice!

This is my favorite kind of fishing that you do

Greatest beach fishing video EVER a 40lb RED and big trout WOW

I also thought you had hooked a cobia but great catches what an epic day 👍

Sick!

Did you notice the Ramora falling off that huge redfish ? Great catch

Absolutely massive

That's a hell of a day

I got into a school of them around that size in destin Florida using cut fresh cut bait mullet. The biggest one I caught was 42 .lbs the smallest was 28 .lbs. I know that you were drained after that fight..lol love your videos
