Oh yeah they were extra spicy

From the few times I’ve met you and all the times I’ve watched your vids I can tell how much you respect the fishery and every individual fish you catch. These “pros” in your comment section show me why you’ve disabled the comment section in the past. So annoying. Keep doing what you’re doing Bob. I hope the best for you and congrats on the great catches!

Hope you are having a fun weekend Peter! They were amped up this morning

that is a thing of beauty. Im from Montreal, and unfotunately the striper are all gone in the St Laurence where I am. They are starting to come back in Quebec City . Next year I am coming to fish with you boys. Incredible catch and release btw! Off to Southern France for 2 months and will be fishing for the Loup de Mer, sea bass or brindizi.

The bucktail is an amazing lure, so simple yet works so well. What trailer do you use?

@BobAquatic

Ай бұрын

Trailer selection is fun, it can really make a huge difference. Overall I really like zoom fluke/jerk bait trailer. But depending on the species curly tail grub, jig strip/pork rind, or paddle tail.

Nice video, didn’t catch if you had mentioned what state you are in but may as well ask. I’m in Maine and I was wondering if you were anywhere near me?

How much line do you have on, looks like youre almost getting spooled on every fish!

If you fish a lot and don't have a lot of money, its pretty hard to always have a perfect amount of line. I try not to waste it, if you look closely at this video there is 3 connection knots on that braid.

Hello sir, i see your comments talking a lot about tips tricks and gear! Glad youre not afraid to respond! Question I have is do you ever swim to rocks and or wear wetsuits?

@BobAquatic

23 күн бұрын

For sure, I love talking fishing. Yes I wear a wetsuit and a dry suit but for kayaking. Never really had the need to swim out honestly, not the biggest fan of the sealed van staal reels. I have a work smart not hard mentality so swimming out to a rock to catch a bass just kinda seems silly. But I totally get why people do it, and respect it

After seeing those back to back monsters I can tell that wasn't west coast. A 40 incher is rare out here. Nice catches

just wondering why do you let the fish run for so long before you start to feel in?

@BobAquatic

Ай бұрын

Heavy fish, lot of current. Not too sure, just the way the fish wanted to play it out

What kind of rod is that?

Bucktails are really all I use. They can imitate any kind of bait. They can be fished at any level in the water column. They can be fished at any speed. And they can be fished in any kind of conditions. Sometimes I'll use a diamond jig.

@BobAquatic

Totally agree, once you learn to jig any part of the water column with it, it’s really the only lure you need

@Seawave669

17 күн бұрын

@@BobAquatic exactly. I see all these other anglers going to the beach with like 10-15 different lures to match the hatch. But if a bucktail imitates any kind of bait, why even bother using other lures. And all these other fancy surface lures are a ripoff. They go for like 15 to 25 dollars a piece.

Hi Bob, I'm impressed with your technique can you help me? I want to catch Strippers can you tell me about your fishing gear I'm kinda new at it and I would like to know about your setup Thank You
