      But hey it worked, and the fish was safely released. Most people would just let it die. I can't stand seeing people just throw them out, and let them float. I've actually thrown my cast net before to revive someone else's on a pier

      That fish definitely died. You can’t punch a hole in the swimbladder and it just go on doing its thing. It just sank to the bottom and died. It couldn’t regulate its buoyancy after that. Get a fizzing needle.

    Why do you use leaders? I'm new to saltwater fishing and am moving to this area so I'm trying to learn as much as possible about all this

    • @brandonmolina711
      @brandonmolina711  ปีที่แล้ว

      A lot of people in this area have this kind of leaders. It’s probably one of the best ways to catch reds so with these leaders if your fish runs into structure your leader will hold and not bust and also if you watched this video you see I put my hook on the spider weight so I can make it better to cast.

    I’ve always had better luck when I set one up close, one about half your normal cast, and one out as far as you can cast, Helps cover as much water as possible, and sometimes their closer in, sometimes their further out.

    I love those set up's. I used to make my own leaders when shark & Bullred fishing but I can't find the crimps, sleeves, etc. @ Academy in LakeJackson.
    We have Kayaks now & have been limiting out on Reds every time out.
    Around X-Mas Bay & San Luis Pass. It's hot, those Reds are running thru but they are mostly slot.
    I'm grabbing another set up from Academy, thinking of getting the PENN Rival 6'6" Rod Combo 30 series reel. 🤟

      2 reasons why I do that is bc it makes it shorter and easier to cast and second is bc when casting, the weight could pull the crab off the hook.
