[@jimsmisadventuresinbeekeeping]

Brant is a real time traveler, he made this video in December 2025 and brought it back to December 2024 for us to watch 😂

[@Ghost3gulf]

Hahahahahahah

[@bobsacamano3099]

It’s like he has Grays Sports Almanac for fish

[@kevinring2725]

Beach Bum did the same thing. These guys might be falling on hard times. I just don't like going to watch something then figuring out that I had already seen this one a couple minutes into it.

[@herbb8547]

Somebody made a typo. 😂

[@Meditation409]

I hope you have a wonderful Christmas Brant!! Please be safe and I hope you have a wonderful New Year ♥️🤗🥰

[@AnglerUpTv]

Thanks same to you

[@madhatter2465]

Hey Melanie behind ever good fishermen is a great Captain of the boat! Great job!

[@bigbaby77]

It’s nice to see the other fishermen lending a hand. 👍🏻

[@comfortablynumb9342]

I fish around the Chesapeake Bay a lot and it's really cool how we help each other. I have netted a bunch of nice fish for others and they've helped me with mine. Around here it's a very mixed crowd, all colors and cultures, and I love how we all fish together. And it's fun to surprise the ones who speak Spanish because I'm a white guy from Florida but I speak Spanish fluently. That leads to a lot of nice conversations too.

[@nickhart5332]

Man Brandt, I'm going to have to head down to Pensacola next December. Good to know the weather will be clear and so will the water! Nice work sir, welcome back!

[@jackierogers7878]

definitely awesome video,,, been watching for a long time,, totally got the pier mastered,, and that dip looks amazing ,,i got to try it,, God Bless

[@brennakohlhase4194]

For those of us who watch your channel, who are traveling to the gulf this winter…could you consider doing a video on the basics of saltwater fishing from shore, pier and channel fishing, how the rods/reels are different and if there is a rod/reel that can be used in both freshwater and salt?also your suggestions for the basics? What we need for a month of winter fishing? Thanks for considering and blessed Christmas to you and your family!❤ love your channel!

[@Brock_Landers]

Brant you wanna talk about pier fishing, when I was a teenager my friends and I were always about going to the Fort Desoto Park Piers in Clearwater, FL. They had a half mile and a full mile piers and we would go out there all night. We would catch everything from snapper, to blacktip, to hammerhead, bull shark, to barracuda, to huge bull reds, black drum, Goliath Grouper (Jewfish), cobia, I actually caught a sea crab once, and even a large sea turtle. We even caught a Wahoo out there once. It was an almost hour and a half drive, but we always had fun. We would throw an 8' castnet and catch greenbacks and shrimp.

[@scottc543]

Another great video, Brant. Thanks!

[@AnglerUpTv]

Appreciate you watching

[@ArjoonGunness-hf8yp]

Merry Christmas happy new year to you an your family man..

[@AnglerUpTv]

[@madhatter2465]

I was waiting for your show to come on!

[@leroyboy5228]

Great winter video, thanks.

[@RalphOnofrio]

FISH ON FISH ON......Great fishing.......Snow in Connecticut on Saturday.....BUMMER.

[@ConfusedAlien-sd3bg]

Great job! I am hungry 🎉

[@Budreaux63]

Did you get that twisted line from Beach Bum Outdoors?

[@JackDavenport-e3j]

Cool catch Brant, we get a few up here at Edisto

[@stratos175escape7]

What do you do with all the fish scrap?

[@billbristow1768]

That big drum screwed that reel up! Lol

[@kevinhaynes4808]

Was wild seeing those bonita blowing up on top of the water for so long and watching the rays play in the surf!

[@MorrisMullin]

Brant, grinding out a winter fishing video. I will watch every time, and for however long it plays.

[@AnglerUpTv]

Appreciate it

[@timothyshannon7950]

That salad looks delicious

[@tylercourtney461]

How is the beach/pier fishing right now Brant? My family is headed down to gulf shores on the 21st and will be down there for a week plus and was going to do some fishing so was checking on what all is biting right now?

[@AnglerUpTv]

That video is from today

[@Sps1756]

Brandt ..... there really is a difference between folding and stirring. Do you want salad or dip ?

[@blueaggie64]

Your net man was on point !

[@timallaire1]

I've had success with whiting using a 1/8 oz white jig with a piece of shrimp when they get picky like that. I've seen earthworms work when nothing else will I kid you not.

[@leolad23]

Ok....got a question you would definitely know. Do you notice a taste difference in the fish you catch and eat from summer to winter?? Is a colder water red or trout tastier than summer/warm water trout?? I know you've caught and eaten fish year round for a long time...would love to hear your opinion. Thanks for the 30 min video. #cardio

[@AnglerUpTv]

I actually don’t know lol

[@johnloy7009]

Sorry brother...had to laugh...65 degrees and I had to put on a jacket 😂

[@Brock_Landers]

Also I remember back when I first started fishing in Florida and I was around 11 or 12, and the only place that I had close by to get fishing gear was Walmart. I had an Ugly Stik with a Quantum Snapshot 2500 reel, and maybe 15 lb mono (this was back in 1995 or so). I was buying my fishing gear from my allowance and mowing a lawn here and there. My parents took us down to Key West back in 1995 or so and we stayed at the hotel at 0 Duval St...I went out on the restaurant next to the hotel that had signs that said "no fishing" and I caught these massive jack cravelle and some huge red snapper on that same rig. They obviously kicked me out, but I was fishing off of the boardwalk down there next to all of the charter boats and I caught massive red snapper and a couple of tarpon and one of the captains offered me a job. He gave me a shot of 190 proof rum (didn't tell me what it was) and that's something that I'll never forget. We went to the Hog's Breath Saloon and he gave me a beer and told me to keep a low profile...😂😂😂 I'm 41 now, but it's an experience that I could never forget. Edit: obviously the tarpon that I caught weren't very big. 15 lb mono can only get you so far...😂😂😂

[@one_new_skill]

Fish 2 kilogram 🐟

[@publicclammer]

Now this one really develops the appetite!

[@ElainaSearles-s2h]

You don’t eat the bonitas? Excellent sashimi and cooked.

[@innsanewayne]

Take the spool off, something is blocking the anti reverse gear from engaging. Usually a simple fix. You probably know that already.

[@399geekfavorites]

Brant, how do you get the hook out so easy?

[@micbarca9777]

My kids laugh when that happens. I always say I couldn't tie a knot on purpose that good.

[@richthomas8758]

Need more Melanie. 😻

[@Sps1756]

What were you mermering while batting your hook.

[@AnglerUpTv]

🤷‍♂️

[@captjack5090]

OUTSTANDING

[@raycar9550]

[@DarrinParton]

Yeah Brant since your video said December 2025 can you give me all the winning lottery numbers for that year. Ha ha just kidding. Merry Christmas.

[@micbarca9777]

Nothing like Reds, Whitings and Blues

[@GregF-k7w]

[@AnglerUpTv]

[@generoberts9151]

[@AnglerUpTv]

[@generoberts9151]

[@ninjakawasaki1972]

[@stratos175escape7]

Perfect day and a mostly empty pier make for a fantastic day.

[@mikecampingforfun5226]

I'll be fishing from the fishing pier in 2 weeks.

[@comfortablynumb9342]

Happy holi-daze

[@cherylmarshall840]

If fisherman would let the spots grow they can get up to half a lb to 2 lbs no joke I use to run nets

[@jdimob1014]

Half that filet went to waste 🥲

[@howarddenney5331]

Deep fried or tacos

[@busterrowland574]

Put a swivel on it and no more twists

[@HipolitoTinajero-o5s]

Hey Brent, if I paid you to take me and my two sons fishing, would you do it a huge fan of your videos

[@chrisjames-mh3ql]

[@man2no4h2o]

It's not 2025!

[@tonyhicks9388]

From watching you looks like single drop is a better method

[@redtwin1968]

Video from the future??? December 2025!

[@zackriden79]

Brant why don't you buy another boat for you channel something simple ?

[@AnglerUpTv]

I make boat videos once or twice a month already. I don’t really need one but may look into in the future.

[@markprotzman8480]

December 2025 huh?! 😂

[@AnglerUpTv]

Oops sorry lol

[@aln.4918]

Was just about to comment about that. lol Great video as usual though.

[@brucehancock6115]

You waste so much fish! I would take those bones and fry them up in some corn meal

Backbones are the best part to me. When I was growing up my folks didn’t throw anything away.
