Rare Monster Catch For These Waters!

Спорт

One thing led to another on what was supposed to be a striped bass and seabass fishing trip. I hooked a few bluefish, and the next thing I know my boat is being pulled backwards by something BIG!

    I don't remember a video where you are with an exaiment like this... You can catch fish everyday and be happy but some days... Just some... You have that feeling like the time you caught your first or biggest one ... And THAT IS WHY I LOVE FISHING! Mr. Skinner simply AMAZING video congrats!

    Knew it was a brown shark right away ! Haven't fished L.I. Sound in 35 years but fished it for 30 years , also was a bayman for years . Used to live line bunker while digging clams resulting in some pretty big Stripers from Oyster Bay Harbor ( north shore ). Have caught a few browns back then and watching it was so reminiscent of those good old days ! Thanks for the video ! Please be sure to show us your Sea Bass results !

    I can’t explain to you how helpful that tip was about the circle hook. I’ve been using them for years in the outer banks mostly cause I’m just gonna throw fish back and I don’t wanna hurt them. Knowing to let them take the bait and reel after a few seconds instead of setting the hook makes a lot of sense. I feel like I’ve lost tons of fish trying to set the hook. Thanks.

    I caught one like 11 years ago off the East cut moriches inlet off the beach with a cheap Walmart 14ft and broke it in half still managed to fight the shark for almost 20 minutes arms were killing me, measured 6’5” and pulled him on the beach a fellow fisherman saw me struggling and help me unhook it and make a safe release, never got the guys name but if he sees this video thanks couldn’t had got him back safely without him. Awesome catch I was also live lining live shad for stripers.. awesome video wish I would have gotten mine on vid. Great catch.
