  • 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!

    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 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!

  • @timolean5846
    @timolean5846 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    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.

      @christopherball9227 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      There was a massive ray (4') off Saltaire/Kismet 10 or so years ago. Did not fight really but was a beast to bring in. I was at Saltaire beach and it dragged me midway down to Kismet as a thunderstorm rolled nearby. Wrecked the reel. I thought it was a log at first but then I saw the tail flap in the surf. Guy helped me level it back out w/ boogie board. Several years later at same spot, the line from someone down in Kismet crosses mine. We untangle and he's sorry, but convinced he's onto a log. Like me before, he doesn't want to cut off 100' of mono into the surf and figures he'll wade out to get it off log. I tell him my ray story. He starts out and then we see the tail flap. He hauls in the same size ray.
