Lot of people in this comment section complaining that he threw those fish back...come on guys...you don't have to keep literally every good fish you catch...throw one back to appease the fish gods every once in a while....your grandkids will thank you

Man...years ago we stayed at a holiday Inn on Pensacola Bay right at the Base of Gulf Breeze. Don't know if it's still there. Anyway, I am out on the bay beach very early just looking around. A guy was fishing over in the corner sort of, and using what looked to be a rig no more than you'd fish for bass. He hooked something big and fought it for about 45 minutes. When the fish was in shallow he handed me the rod and waded in a bit to try and grab it and pull it the rest of the way in. Had to be a 45lb Jack Crevelle. He actually bled from grabbing it at the base of the tail. Biggest Jack I ever saw. BACK IT WENT INTO THE BAY! Sure enjoyed watching a masterful fish landing!

Man i came across this video looking up topwater bass fishing stuff but clicked on your video because of your name. I actually grew up fishing for Blues and Pompano on those exact shores. My dad lived in Mobile a lot of years and we would come down to Ft. Morgan to fish as much as we could. Stoked I found your page.

More Good Info... Gear, Rigging, Time, Winds and tide data always good to know! thanks for sharing!!!!!!

I found a popper today while surf fishing with baits, just floating in the water. Made me consider using lures. Good video.

Congratulations on the PB Spanish, that thing was a monster!! That Trout was a stud to!! Great Video Matthew!!

Fish for a living, fish for fun on your day off. You are 💯bummy. Love it🤙

This passed Sunday in the lagoon near the new pier the spanish were in so thick the water seemed to be churning. Now is definitely a great time to catch them from the shore.

A nother cool video, always good to see new ones even if there a bit older. I try to catch all I can, some I even watch over. There just that good. Thanks, Tom DB, FL.

Se aqui no Brazil preservasse assim como vocês Americanos preservam. Seria maravilhosa a nossa pescaria na beira das praias. Parabéns pelos excelentes exemplares na pescaria. Se cuida. Bom dia. Alexandre. Brazil

Absolutely love top water, I have definitely learned a lot watching your videos. Thanks and God bless

What a stud Spanish. I myself have been trying to land a big Jack. Thanks again for the video always enjoy watching

I have been to that exact location. Fantastic fishing there! Great video too!

That was a huge Mackerel......and that trout...awesome!

One of the many reasons why I love Florida. Aaaahhhhh, the good life

Glad to see you back fishing

nice to see you fishing ... greetings from indonesia north kalimantan ..

Good vid. Caught my best JC at this very spot. Love that place.

Awesome man. Looks like so much fun! I think I'm going to break down and go buy a fishing license. Instead of only enjoying fishing when there is free weekends... anyways thanks for the video man.

Try and get yourself a needlenose GT Ice-cream, its a top-water plug that can be used on a fast retrieve on calm to mild conditions and it makes a darting action left to right. We catch a lot of jack crevalles (we call 'em em Kingfish) on them here in South Africa and its probably available in the States now. Great vid btw

Very good, beautiful Fishing 💪🏼🎣✨✌🏼..!

Que buena pesca 🎣 felicitaciones saludos desde Ecuador 🇪🇨

Muito bom 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🇧🇷

Really enjoy your videos. Please , keep em coming !

Shore jigging is very good cool.. We do it a lot here in North Africa... Thanks for sharing.. 🎣

Greetings from Ft. Lauderdale!

Your videos convinced me to buy a Roosta Popper. I fish New Smyrna Beach, FL and this lure is a *shark magnet*! I usually get a massive strike about every 5 casts, which should be a warning about swimming here. My last catch was typical, a 5-1/2 foot blacktip. Stay bummy!

If your going to use uni use a double loop uni. Just loop your line 2 times through the lure then tie the knot

Trout would have went straight to the box. Good eats!!!

Haha wtf man you should send that Halco back to it’s home! Greetings from Australia the home of the Halco 🇦🇺

Topwater fishing .. awesome .. my friend ..

Love Jacks!! I once saw a big school of them in a river come up and literally boil the water going after baitfish. it was one of the most remarkable things i have ever seen.

It was a very good animation. Thank you very much

Hitt’in the big boys with the rising sun!!!! Nice spec and Spanish.

Good video fishing...amazing 👏👏👏🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩

I can still remember the headache a big jack Crevelle gave me about 7 years ago, big fighters

Hey man you should try one of the large muskie size Whopper plopper I've got a few and Jack's hatem

A lovely popping fishing landbase...

I love topwater,found a small Halco pink florescent in 80 and a 135.The 105 is sold out .Thanks for the tip

Oh man I found an oldie but goodie !! Let’s Go !!! 🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊

Wow that would have been dimner for me and the fam bro nice catch havent neen on the surf in a while doing a lot of jetty fishing but im gonna try to go this weekend though

Look up a Jimmy Johnson knot, it will work great on that Diamond jig 👍

It’d be cool to see the moments before the hook ups too great content

Awesome videos, keep it up!

Top water popper...so amazing 🤩🔥🔥🔥

Nice fishing again mate

That great sir ,😎

Flouro is the way to go, but with toothy critters like Spanish especially, they can and will cut your leader. Always check for frayed leader after each catch; change out leader as appropriate. I've lost some good lures chasing after them. Blues can turn you blue too. Jack's not much of a problem. I used to catch snook in season with diamond jigs in the surf. I shirted them with flocked up polypro rope tied to hook shank at back of lure. Love the weight of diamond jig. Casts like a dream, even on windy days. Tarpon also will hit it , but look out you're lucky to land one!

Good job bro !!!

Great video!

Looks like fun thanks

With a really big Jack (25+ pounds), about all you can do is hang on and then see what color your knot, at the reel, is. LOL. Great vids. I gotta get back to GS soon.

We were on that beach in August 2019 and no way you could get your feet wet, Jellies Everywhere! You could easily net crab for days too, but I have no idea if that is even legal there.

My first ever Striper was on an Atoms Popper in the Chesapeake bay, talk about a memorable experience!

EPIC vid bro! 🤙🏼

Amazing 😱

Nice with the trout thats the biggest one ive ever saw though

Wow the best mr.

I tried poppers last summer at Oak Island, NC. Didn't have any luck all week on them. However, I did have luck on the power bait shrimp.

I like the color combo

there are a lot of fish there,,, nice👍👍👍

also, what kind of surf fishing gear should I get to throw that far away enough like you did in the video> the rod, the reel and the mainline size/LBs?

Rather have that nice trout than ten jacks.

Great Video, Congrats on the Spanish. Have you tried the Bone Colored super spook? Do really good on SGI with the Bone

Pretty sea trout and Spanish mac, wow!

Hey sir, how far can you throw bait from the beach?

No big Jack, but you did catch a couple of really good fish - congrats on the new PB Spanish ... though I wouldn't have kept him either - just don't care for the taste - but that trout, oh man! And hey, you had a nice hike in the sun and salt air ... a real change of pace for you, huh? LOL, jk. Great video, man. Thanks a lot for all the tips and info.

Questo pesce e fantastico

What reel combo you using ???

Você e o cara. Eu sou do 🎣🎣🇧🇷🇧🇷

Are Jack Crevelle safe to eat in this area and if so are they any good? I know in some areas they can have cig. We don't have tons of reefs to my knowledge.

Never seen surf that calm in my life 😂 where is this?

great video ...was always wondering how come people don't use longer rods for coast angling? Is that like 7 feet rod?

Every time trout is around and I know it.I all was gig it gotcha plug or spoons works much better for trout

Muito bom show Alex do Brasil 🇧🇷

I have a question. Which is better to use in surf fishing? Jerkbait or a Popper. I am beginner and I am planning to fish on a beach soon. :)

Love topwater

Nice catch. Say hi from indonesia

very nice landed man.

Never caught a Spanish in the surf up here in NC. Caught some from the pier but hundreds trolling offshore. I love to catch them and eat them. We would catch a lot on hand lines with bungee cords tied to down riggers on the back of the boar. (Weren’t using the down riggers except as a point to tie on to.)

If you're after Jack, then check out Perdido Pass by the Gulf restaurant. Always catch Jack cruising that area

Sangat banyak ikannya, laut di tempat itu terjaga

very good video casting using popper 👍👍👍

Nice video young man. I enjoy your channel. goll-ee!

Verry nice fight bro.
