I'd advise you not to put your fingers in their spiracles(that's their breathing mechanism by their eyes), you can put your hand in their mouths and carry or drag them back into the water. We handle large rays her in South Africa and it will not hurt your fingers, their mouths are just rough on the inside.
Real good video of a good day's fishing ... Way to go Matt! I enjoyed watching that, even with all the dang 'Rays'! And you seemed to be feeling better ... hope you're over whatever illness had you down - been concerned about you, glad to see you seem to be feeling better. Stay Bummy!
Getting stuck by a sting ray is awful my mother was stung and she suffered for days, she ended up having dead tissue in her foot and has permanent nerve damage in her foot
For those small rays, not as necessary but with bigger ones, when they hunker down, pull the line tight and strum it like a guitar (harder and aggressive). It will upset em and 9 out 10 will come up. Ive had to do it 5 or 6 times on a big ray (4 foot across). They are good to eat and make excellent shark bait lol.
Lord's willing we will be coming down to fish, but I'm m a lady that loves to fish...I never caught a shark or sting ray...I am afraid of sting rays... Hope's my husband can get him off without KILLING him...🖐🏽🖐🏽
Smart to kill those stingray. Maybe not your cup of tea, but better than having your kid step on one. And people who mishandle one will end up in the hospital. Barehanding them doesn't teach people the danger of them
A good day surf fishing. Getting hit by a ray isn't fun ! I just got caught with the tip of a ray. Top of my hand only a quarter inch long, and it bled like crazy. Didn't hurt, just got cut. I used antibacterial hand wipe and a band-aid. I never go with out the wipes when ever I go fishing. They do help. Not sure what to do if yer stung bad, I know it hurts like hell tho. Allways be careful tho. The barbs are very sharp ! Hope this helps someone out. Tom DB, FL.
I am super new to ocean fishing, so I don't know if this is true or not. But I was out surf fishing and someone told me that if I catch a shark no matter what species i'm not allowed to remove it from the water. Seeing you remove that bonnethead shark makes me think that isn't true. Anyone know?
Damned rays. Bah! Even if they were good to eat, they’d still be a pain. Your ray releases are good, Matthew. I don’t believe in killing them. I’ve see some people kill every ray they caught, which is just wrong, IMO. Same with hardheads. They are just natural creatures trying to survive like any other fish. Let them live: they have their place in the sea like everything else.
I would fish with you in a flat minute if I lived closer. We just don’t have the fish population on the N.C. coast like you have in Alabama. I did always think we had better basketball until this last season.
I have a question: I went this weekend to Cocoa Beach FL to do some surf fishing and the weeds were OUT OF THIS WORLD. Topwater, jigs, spoons, literally EVERYTHING was netting me 2lb of seaweed every time I reeled in, hell even my line. How do you deal with this kind of condition?
Awhile back I had a woman ask me if she could keep the ray I caught. She said she had a neighbor that was going to show her how to cook them up right. Awesome videos as always!!!
I would love some advice I stayed at fort morgan over the week of July 4th. Over 7 days of fishing morning, noon, and night I caught well over 100 fish using shrimp, squid, sand fleas, porgie, mullet, and live lining several bait fish. I also used bucktails spoons and some gulp plastics and of the 100+ fish every single one without exaggeration was a catfish any thoughts on rigs to try to keep them off the hook?
Lol its the only way to get views on TH-cam these days. If I titled this “Catching Multiple Stingrays”...nobody would click on this video. Titles that raise a question and that make you want to know more have been around for years in all forms of media. Just accept it and move on.
Hurry up October! I can’t wait to get back on the surf and catch a few.

I’m doing great, Mike! Thanks for the thoughts!
Either those guys are hung over or nervous to be on camera!
Fishin The 910 it’s like they’re scared to touch the fish lol
Remisworldd Beats I hope there not his relatives. Come on at least give me a yippie!
Just moved to Foley from North Alabama glad you make these videos they help me alot cause I know nothing about saltwater fishing
Maybe one day we will meet up
Never seen anyone so unenthusiastic about catching good fish
Stingrays can be one of the hardest things to bring in if they are big ones! I'm always scared I'm going to lose my rig, on a light setup...
Yessir! Casted into school of giant sting ray. Broke my line 3 times, my brother almost got one, spit the hook at the shore, it was huge.
Next time a stingray sticks to the ground try to pick the line with your fingers like a guitar it usually makes them come off the bottom
Love to see the Pompano! You’ll be the next person in Alabama to hold the Whiting record or your clients will!
That would be awesome!
Getting stuck by a sting ray is awful my mother was stung and she suffered for days, she ended up having dead tissue in her foot and has permanent nerve damage in her foot
Are your rods light, medium, or medium heavy action?
Go Dawgs!
Do you cut off the stingrays? I got the impression that you were replacing rigs after each one?
No I always remove them if I can. We kept getting cut off by bluefish, that’s why I was tying rigs in some shots.
Thx enjoyed!!
What kind of bait do you use to catch whiting?
Just fresh dead peeled shrimp

They are good to eat and make excellent shark bait lol.
Hold him tight your the boss 😂😂 I like that little Monologue
Man I wish we had calm beaches like this in Australia, like trying to catch fish in a washing machine sometimes hahaha

That first whiting was a BOSS! Nice vid 🎣🎸😆-Greg

Those guys were so excited about surf fishing you could hardly shut them up....
So Whiting are good to eat. That’s great to know. It’s funny they look like redfish without the color. Nice pompano too!!
If they're anything like the whiting we get in Australia they're one of the best eating fish in all the oceans.
Very good!
Best to eat them fresh . They also come in gold color . Dave in Rockport , Tx
Need to teach those boys how to fish 🐠
My 12 and 13 year old daughters got better skillz then these fellas
Yo, I’ll be at the caribe in about 19 days to fish for a week, hope I see you out in the surf one morning.
Earlier this year I caught like a 70lb one because in ocean city New Jersey there’s schools that go by in like the end of July
Good video those soft steelhead rods definitely amp up the excitement level with the whiting and make even the small stingrays a challenge!!!
Pemancing good
they seem to happy to catch fish lol, to early in the morning I guess. Keep up the videos brother

Not true. There are certain species that you can not remove from the water, but most can be and even harvested like the bonnethead.
@@BamaBeachBum Awesome thank you so much!!!
Only ever gigged my self in the freezer in sting rays. Luckily after they die the stinging enzymes die as well.
Damned rays. Bah! Even if they were good to eat, they’d still be a pain.

hey the day you uploaded this is my birthday
I caught two yesterday, one was a pain to get off but the other was easy.
Enjoyed the show and no sand in my shoe,,thanks bum
I would fish with you in a flat minute if I lived closer. We just don’t have the fish population on the N.C. coast like you have in Alabama. I did always think we had better basketball until this last season.
Some peeps just don't listen...LOL nice mess of whiting and nice Pomp...wtg Matt...Tight Lines
I seen people eat some stingrays have you ever cooked one up?
I'll be doing some surf fishing in Sandbridge VA next month. Just in case I hook a stingray, what is the best way to get it off the hook?
You ever used a longer spanked circle hook to lower the possibility of being cut off
Do you think an ugly stik elite steelhead rod would be good for surf fishing?

Z33 Garage you just don’t because you just have to move to another beach or just wait a few days
Awhile back I had a woman ask me if she could keep the ray I caught. She said she had a neighbor that was going to show her how to cook them up right. Awesome videos as always!!!
What equipment were you using and what were you using for bait?
What kind of bait were you using and size hooks. Going to be on dauphin island in a few weeks
I'm going to be "that guy"... what beach ya fishing? Lol
Stingray is delicious. Fillet each wing top and bottom and cook like you would any other fish.

Could be a lot of things. Try fishing in closer to the beach though. Don’t throw so far out.
I catch whiting for shark bait .
I enjoy your videos soo much 👍
Hope you never get stung
Had a sting 3 weeks ago on by hand worst pain ever
Got infected and was on antibiotics for 10 days
Same ordeal years back, antibiotics also. Pain i dont want to experience ever again.

What time do you usually get on the beach?
About 6:00
click bait....how about that title?!
Lol its the only way to get views on TH-cam these days. If I titled this “Catching Multiple Stingrays”...nobody would click on this video. Titles that raise a question and that make you want to know more have been around for years in all forms of media. Just accept it and move on.
@@BamaBeachBum Had to bust on ya a bit...lol Love your channel my friend
Do you sell your rigs?

They don’t seem to be enjoying themselves very much🤨
Seriously, someone needs to check for a pulse.
