Good idea for a test, but I wish you had a friend with you to keep the live bait pole in his hand ready for a strike and also to move it around more to be fair. The artificial covered a lot more area and you had the pole in your hand ready for the strike. I think I counted 3 missed bites on the live bait due to not holding the pole. Still fun to watch as your videos are always smooth and easy to stay tuned to the end. Thanks....
Brad Doe I didn’t want the fully video but getting a strike should count as a point on live bait. Same for artificial even if he didn’t end of catching it
Hi Brent, would you go with a 1/0 or 2/0 in general for live bait if you had to choose? Trying to set up my first saltwater tackle box. Any recommendations on weights as well? Thanks for any advice. Also what leeder size would you recommend for inshore/beach fishing with 3000 size reel with 15lb braid
Hook size really depends on the size of live bait that you're using. You don't want to weigh down a smaller bait with a big hook because it wouldn't swim naturally. The majority of the time I'm fishing a 2/0 circle hook with live bait. For weights, I'd recommend getting a package of split shots because they're using to use and add more if needed. For leader, I find myself using either 20lb or 30lb depending on the size and species of fish I'm targeting
I’m thinking about getting the pole holder Accessory for my yeti. I think that would be a good solution for putting second rod down in the front of the boat.
I have that rod holder accessory stored away somewhere and I completely forgot I had it. Thank you for reminding me because I'll definitely use that if I can find it
How much difference in the DOA Cal and the 3"zman ? We don't get the DOA CAL in Australia...What depth are you fishing 1/8 would come straight to the top or are you able to work it very slow
I've never tried the 3" Z-man, but they're look like pretty similar lures. I'm fishing in about 1'-4' of water and either working it slow and bouncing it off the bottom or a slow steady retrieve
I find out of my kayak that I have fished both and artificial baits catch bigger fish I primarily use live bait when the water cools to at least 65 to 70 and that is usually November and December and January months PB REDFISH IN KAYAK IS 28 in on a skitter walk and PB TROUT 23 in on a spook jr after 30 years of tournament bass fishing I am getting back into kayak fishing
Here in Tampa Bay we got hit with red tide about a year ago now and it hurt the trout, redfish, and snook populations so the FWC closed the season for them until 2020 to let their numbers recover a little bit
Try livebait video where you switch the hook placement, see if nose hooking, belly hooking, or shoulder hooking has different/more results..... EDIT: but bring me on board instead of Jordan this time lol
Just an opinion.. to be more fair both baits should be fished the same. Eg.. both under a cork. A live bait requires the same amount of attention and movement as an artificial bait to be most effective.
You're fishing the artificial bait more aggressively and just letting the live bait sit in the same spot. Odds are that you'll find more fish with the artificial because you're covering more water.

Regardless what bait you use, if you are catching fish it's a Win/Win situation way to go Brent!

I agree 100%...

I tend to catch more fish on the artificials because I cover more ground but I usually get bigger and better quality fish on live bait.
Haven't watched the video yet, but I'm predicting the live pilchards will DOMINATE this challenge. Gonna watch the video now.
I wonder how cut bait would have fared in the competition.
Cut bait with or without circle hook would out fish all especially crab baits, (over 20 years as coastal fisherman)
@@Sunny45553 True!
Looks like fun. I think I may have to try salt water fishin. Good footage 👍✌
See ya dude
Really enjoyed your video!!!!
You deserve to have more subs. Great video.
Awesome video bro 😎😎😎

Brent Schirmer you’re the best thanks for answering all my questions. You are a great teacher for us newbies
Keep on fishin bro.
Great video! Try doing cut bait vs live bait next time👍🏼
I think that plastic it’s Doing it so I’m gonna give it to the plastic what do you think cool video like always👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

But you’re right sometimes is life bait and sometimes is Artificial 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Live bait all the way for me bigger fish

Double poles....got to try this?
What hook size are You using in the D.O.A Cal?
I was using a 1/8oz jig head
@@SeeYaDude 3/0 ?..it's a 3" bait?
Yes and yes
I gotta ask, why do you always release your fishes? For example trout is a nice tasting fish!

Not That Would be interesting!
Dude, when are you gonna sell merch?!
Hopefully sooner than later
I think live bait won this time

Its hit or miss brother
How can I cast so far without using weight???
Unfair comparison imo. Have someone actively fishing the live bait
What is the name of the lure he use?
D.O.A. C.A.L.
I’m a Palm Harbor guy, what’s your “trusty spot”? 😀
Subbed
First comment 🤘🏻
its not 2:1 its 3:1 lure caught trout redfish and something else i think
You're fishing the artificial bait more aggressively and just letting the live bait sit in the same spot.
Odds are that you'll find more fish with the artificial because you're covering more water.
If you need someone to help you test both methods, I offer my services, I come with publix sandwiches
This is a bad experiment, he leave the live bait rod on his feet, the cast and reel artificial bait. It’s obvious that the artificial will win.
Brother can I make a donation to you, and we go fishing. I live in the Area.
