Rip toadfish

[@curtmurdurk]

You should do a toadsish highlight reel with your best catches

[@prestongonzalez3836]

Rip

[@sainttaint3585]

Brent that was not broken at the tip it was like four guides up haha

[@sinsationalwon499]

That's like the third toadfish I've seen you break. Great vid though.

[@elihh2708]

Ripppp

[@matthewsmith1461]

I guess that rod breaking was a "Toadal disaster" 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@matthewsmith1461]

I actually felt bad that the rod broke, so I contacted ToadFish to look into your up and coming channel, with your praise of their rods to see if they would hook you up with a replacement.

[@prestongonzalez3836]

Yo you got me into surf fishing and yesterday I caught my first ever whiting. Thanks so much!

[@AnglerUpTv]

👍

[@prestongonzalez3836]

👏

[@demboes2079]

👏🏻👏🏻 good job

[@scottmichael3745]

Congrats bro! Small whiting make good bait!

[@maxmishuk7812]

Congratulations 😅😅😅😅

[@dyllanthegreat7898]

When the toad broke my soul shrunk. In loving memory of the toad rod. OG rod will always be the OG rod

[@wishinone]

Boy, you stepped into the right pile heading out the door this morning, that was a hell of a beach day.

[@treasurecoastwaters8400]

penn 4000 9ft footer check!

[@BamaBeachBum]

Well that was special

[@muaythaiaddict4789]

Bama beach bum what size hooks do you guys use when you go beach fishing Also love the vids

[@ohiosharkin1463]

It's ok bum he was just catching bait for sharkin.

[@buckwashington6871]

This is why I love his video great guy,I've done the same thing hear in eastern North Carolina for thirty years it's good for your health 👍

[@GarrettGreene-em4vl]

Brandt, these videos are amazing! Your commentary while fishing is causing me painful laughter as I used to fish with your dad, and hearing you reminds me of his comments while fishing. Love it man, take care.

[@Bamapride1000]

I’ve got a wall of fame where I hang all the stuff that carries lots of memories for me when it’s time for it to retire (get broken).

[@pavsoccer10]

Great video- i can tell from your recent land based videos that you are much happier and really enjoying yourself

[@woodsondunavant8425]

why dont you get a drone to get footage of those fish blowing up out there, that way we could see your POV and a birds eye. would be super cool

[@xgtmg]

I have hit a few frenzies fishing from the North Bridge in Daytona. Makes for a memorable day. I repair my rigs when they break and keep them. It gives them their own little uniqueness. I'm happy you had a good time at the beach and showed us what to look for when the fishing is good. Thanks Brant.

[@JerryGeorge1966]

Brant, love the new format for your channel lately. Just non stop action and it is in places easily accessible to all. I think that is why your channel is really taking off more than ever lately. The boat was actually holding it back as not everyone has a boat. But anyone can go to these places you have been fishing lately. And you seem to be enjoying it more than ever. Love the channel and hope it continues to grow. Thanks for the show!

[@GaryCartwright-cn3hq]

It’s amazing how you find all these empty beaches to fish. Love the videos !

[@lesliejames6870]

I so enjoy you when you catch a good /great fish. You get so excited and that tickles me . I find myself talking back to you saying what is it??? LOL!!! Please start her a KZbin page so I can watch her. Her dishes looked so mouth watering.. I want to learn her potato salad...thanks for sharing this with us. By the way when I lived in Destin. It had 1 red light right before the bridge. My daddy sold real estate there .He use to work at Sandestin selling there..i really miss it

[@carlos78ram]

That’s a nice cut of water you’re fishing at. Jealous from Texas, make it happen Brant! Those brownies, yum.

[@b.radfishing8530]

I have never seen Abli caught from the beach. Those were good size ones too! You couldn’t even leave without catching another one. It had to be hard to pack it up.... great Vid as always!

[@AnglerUpTv]

Appreciate it man!

[@hardcorehooksets5825]

thats how it was with 30lb jack crevales and blacktips here in galveston a few months ago, super rare just blowing up mullet. glad you got some action and hope the bonita make there way over here that would be awesome

[@bradcranford2264]

Those Penn Fierce reels are awesome. I have several of them in different sizes and I absolutely love them.

[@johnkyko2716]

Grew up in Hillsborough County. Live in sc. Now. And we use to always say if you don't like the weather wait 5 minutes it will change.you are still my favorite Florida KZbin host. Keep up the videos , I never miss one.

[@werm88]

Amazing water, and a great spot on that beach! Didn't even need to use the cutbait.

[@heavensengdara1216]

Brant is too underrated! Great content and great guy, love the videos as always much love from Texas

[@richardbrewer8301]

Those Albes were like fat little torpedoes when you let them go !!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@kurttrzeciak8326]

Man, what a great day! Too much fun when they are biting like that! Then get home to some delicious brownies! Living the good life.....

[@RollaProductionsss]

You and Lawson Lindsey are my Motivation to start my fishing channel

[@bobmuchler]

Lawson is da man

[@michaelcarey5981]

That was some odd circumstances when the Toadfish rod broke. You had just brought in the spanish, appears you grabbed the line, then the rod snaps, weird

[@dyllanthegreat7898]

Just amazing how fishing goes from bad 2 absolutely amazing🐟 keep up the amazing work brant

[@jelassiterII]

That beach is at the end of a very long road. The light house was a dead give away. Don’t let him fool you though, they put up A gate and it’s a pretty good walk from from the parking area.

[@SDkd619]

Wow.. how long have you owned that toadfish ? Not to mention how many fish you’ve caught that are definitely bigger that it can handle lol

[@aircooledjoe1657]

My toadfish rod has been a beast, he’s caught hundreds of fish on it, probably just got weekend

[@AnglerUpTv]

A while! It was just its time

[@SDkd619]

Yea I’ve been really surprised by the fish you’ve been pulling up with it

[@haydenmichelli3065]

@@AnglerUpTv Its really easy to repair a broken rod if you have a cheaper graphite rod you want to cannibalize for the repair. The entire process should only take 1-2 hours of hands on work to complete your first time. After you have done it a few time you can do it in less than an hour. All you need is an old graphite rod, NYLON sewing thread in the color you want the repair to be get this from Walmart, 5 minute clear 2 part epoxy like jb weld, gorilla glue original formula, a small cheap paint brush, rubbing alcohol or fingernail polish remover, and 400 grit sand paper. You will also need a hacksaw and scissors, tape measure, a sharpie or paint pen, masking tape, a lighter and a razor blade. Using a good light source shine onto both ends of your broken rod and mark with a sharpie where the furthest crack extends to. You remove the old guides off the donor rod it the area you think would fit inside of your broken rod, start by heating up the epoxy covering the guides then using the razor to cut the string. Scrape any excess epoxy without cutting the donor blank, then sand smooth. Cut out about a 1 foot section of the donor rod to test fit inside the rod you are repairing. Slide it into the smaller section of broken rod until it stops with no gaps around the edge, DO NOT PUSH HARD BECAUSE YOU WILL CRACK THE BROKEN BLANK OR SPREAD THE EXISTING CRACKS FURTHER!!!! Mark that spot with a sharpie. Measure 2 inches from that mark to the narrow side, and 3 inches to the fatter side, if the cracks that you measured earlier extend past these numbers you have to go about a half inch past the cracks with the piece you are cutting.. Cut at those spots and sand the ends smooth. Sand the fat side of the donor blank until it will barely slide into the fat side of the rod you are repairing with force, you will Crack the blank if you force it in. Clean the donor blank with alcohol or nail polish remover, then wet the outside with water. Apply a thin bead of gorilla glue halfway down the narrow side of the donor blank. Wet your paint brush and use it to cover the entire narrow half of the donor blank with the the gorilla glue. The glue will begin to foam after about 30 seconds if it has enough water in it, water is the activator, if it doesn't foam wet you brush and rub the water into the glue. Gently slide the glue soaked donor rod while twisting into the narrow end of the broken blank until is is snug, do not force it. Repeat this process for the fat end of the donor rod and fat side of the broken rod as well. Line up the frayed edges of the two broken rod halves so the guides are lined up, the frayed edges should make this easy. Clean up any excess glue immediately with alcohol or fingernail polish remover on a paper towel. Wrap the blank over the broken point with masking tape a half inch past were your cracks you measured earlier extend to. Then wrap the masking tape with either braided fishing string or the nylon sewing string you bought very tightly about 50 or so wraps and tie it so it can't come loose. This doesn't need to look pretty because you will be cutting it off later. LET THE ROD DRY FOR AT LEAST 24 HOURS!!!!!! Using your razor blade cut off the string and unwrap/cut off the masking tape. Sand the area lightly to remove any glue buildup, and sand about 3/8 of an inch past your cracks to prep for wrapping. ****I recommend looking up how to wrap eye guides on KZbin to see the proper method for wrapping and tying the knots on the string so they are not visible. Begin wrapping your string about 1/4" past your crack, keeping the string very tight with no gaps between the wraps. Continue this about 1/4" past the crack on the other side. Your wrap should be one string thick the entire way, you can add decorative colors or wraps on top of the base layer if you want. ***Get a friend for this part if you don't have a rod building station. Get a paintbrush ready and gently try to pull any bristles out the tip so they don't end up in your epoxy. Apply about a quarter wide blob of your two part epoxy on a non foam paper plate or piece of plastic that you plan on throwing away. Using your brush mix the epoxy together quickly using a sliding/folding technique to avoid putting bubbles in it. Do not stir in a circle. While your friend holds the rod and slowly rotates it lightly apply the epoxy from the middle of the wrapped string outwards to a quarter inch past the wraps. Make sure to soak the epoxy into the thread and to build it up just over the thread, you should see a smooth shiny surface across the entire length of the epoxy. Continue to rotate the rod slowly for 5-10 minutes for the epoxy to set. After set do not touch the epoxy and lean the pole up somewhere that it won't get touched for 24 hours. After after 48 hours the pole will be ready to fish no restrictions. Assuming the the break didn't happen in the tip where the action is you will not notice any difference post repair, the repaired area will be the strongest part of the rod afterwards and if done right will not break in that area again. If you have any questions message me back, good luck my friend!

[@robertwoodford7438]

The lure looks a lot like the old school Hopkins I used to use all the time in NJ and Sebastian Inlet. The Blues could not resist it. Good memories.

[@wilh.7485]

You should use 1 1/2 inch pvc pipe as rod holders. You can cut to longer length to have the rod at your preferred height and not have to bend over to get the rod. Not to mention it’s strong and cheaper.

[@Snookman-he9jb]

Brant, it appears you hit the air pressure drop provided by the cold front, congrats! Also too bad you didn't have someone running a drone over the feeding frenzy that would have been awesome. Thanks for sharing.

[@stephenallen6709]

Sick footage, awesome day at the beach, watching this gets me psyched up!

[@BigBass-xf5yi]

Now that’s great variety from the beach.

[@beardedbamawavesfishing]

This was an epic day! I will be moving to the gulf shores/ob area and actually can’t wait to have these days soon!

[@donaldmiller9648]

Reminds me of fishing on Atlantic side one evening...blues or mackerals everytime I threw out and running in waves...harder to fish than gulf...

[@DeathByFishing]

Well answered my question about the durability of those rods. Stick to my Penn and Star rods.

[@SoFloTransplant]

To be fair he’s had that rod forever and fought many large fish on. Personally I’d never use fiberglass rods but he’s had it forever

[@jbest1980]

When a fish starts ripping drag it gives me goosebumps . New subscriber here , keep it up

[@keithjeffries3789]

I stopped the video at 4:45 , at that moment the thought came to me that i wish he had taken Beach Bum lol , Ok back to the Video !

[@llshamelessll]

@Eric Ferguson Ha Ha, but have you seen the HUGE Jack that Bama got on the jetty? Real nice. The blind squirrel gets a nut once in a while too. lol

[@llshamelessll]

@Eric Ferguson Yeah he is because hes a good sport about the teasing he gets.

[@katietucker2040]

My husband and I were fishing along Atlantic Beach last week/weekend. We hit three false albacore blitzes. Blues were being reeled in as fast as you could cast right off the point of Radio Island. Bogue Inlet Pier is slaying. Just found your channel and I can't wait to show my hubs. Great stuff!

[@gregeconomeier1476]

Nothing like a good ole feeding frenzy to get a guy going. BTW, you are putting some miles on getting to these locations lately. Good video. Bacon Grease Goddess. A channel name that will get my attention.

[@scottmichael3745]

Lol! BGG! I love it!

[@SeanXSF]

Haha hate that weather....dreaming all week, looking forward for that weekend surf fishing and then boom....crazy rain...sigh

[@davecosgrove8787]

Those casting jigs are the standard lure for mackerel and pollock here in the UK. They cast well, are really effective and super cheap!

[@jjwoodsculpture3313]

Blows my mind to see these videos with primo surf fishing and only one guy on the whole beach.

[@philipdiehl9849]

That was an absolutely awesome day. You undoubtedly have the hardest job. LOL Grandpa Jack

[@bryansfloridapursuit4993]

This man is always on some fish great video man keep them coming

[@williamhubbard2996]

I was thinking about getting a toad fish rod. Guess I will stick with my Fenwicks. lol.

[@longhorn44jc]

The fishing looked great. However, close race with the brownies. I would buy those for sure!

[@chrisshaw4228]

Caught Albies on Nantucket Island from the surf 2 yrs.ago.Hardest fighting fish I have caught. We had to get them in before the seals ate them. Great video my friend!

[@rockfisher]

Hello dear fishing friend, I watch your videos with interest and enjoy it too. And for that, first of all, thank you. But I have to tell you one thing. Please do not drag the fish across the sand if you do not want to eat them, as this will damage the natural protective layer on the skin. Land the fish in the water with your hand and then release the fish. Thank you and keep up a good catch.

[@DW-qs5pp]

Brant I think your whoopin the pants off Bama by far.👍👍👍 Awesome video!!!

[@JoseLopez-sn3tv]

BAMA BEACH WHAT???? Brant just took over the beach seen!!!! What up my dude!!!!!

[@adamsmith8533]

You obviously haven't seen BBB,s latest vid.

[@DrRobrez]

Offshore rigs and a lighthouse to your west... Must be fort morgan and the sand island lighthouse?

[@davecourington]

Sorry for your loss man.... I have seen you use that rod on so many videos.

[@robdue215]

What a life. An abundance of fishing, brownies, a beautiful wife. Good for you.

[@Kbow-xe4rs]

Wow what a great day of fishing. Then you come back to brownies that don’t kill you. Awesome video.

[@kirosotree]

Such a sick bite! What a great day at the beach, I'm happy for you. RIP Toadfish rod, you've punched above your weight class for all of your life, hell of a fighter.

[@cwize]

Sorry about the Toadfish, but MAN what a day. I felt like I was watching my nephew score touchdown after touchdown in a pee wee football game or something. A joyous piece of KZbin right there. Holy cow.

[@floridaboy3432]

Even the Spanish mackerel you caught respected the moment of silence.

[@bigdawg-cl2db]

Ok, Brant, you gotta represent the upper crust better ! That torn up upholstery got no place in the ride of somebody knockin down the jack you are !!! Give that thing to Beach Bum for tellin you where to fish !!! 😂😂😂

[@paulbosetti4871]

Switch out the trebles in that spoon to an inline single hook.

[@KittyLovesGlover]

those albee's are very pretty, as are the spanish mackerels :) never seen either one. i'm up on the north atlantic in maine.

[@afout07]

That sucks for your toadfish...I have a couple of them and I absolutely love rhe.them

[@swimp_stew_pawpaw1006]

Epic day dood...they are few and far between... but that brownie woulda been my highlight...large whole milk please...

[@wcferguson7925]

Add a super duper to your tackle also great for northern lakes they'll never improve some of the old things ! Oh yeah back to the spoon I miss cast to surf w/1 and landed 8+blue at 6ft.out and don't forget to take a child fishing!

[@michaelhornung7266]

Awesome video. Those are the days we all dream about. Thanks for sharing this. This is down to earth most people’s kind of fishing. Sorry to see that toadfish rod snap. Hope mine doesn’t do that. Send it back on warranty.

[@ScottMikles]

Talk about an epic shoreline session, geez. Nicely done

Stop telling me how good it was, tell me what beach that was?

You forgot about the other rods lol 😆 😂. It happens to the best of us .

[@maxmishuk7812]

When he says This is rad man,cracks me up😅😅😅😅

[@michaelphillips8363]

You should pick up a 9 or 10" surf rod with a 4 or 5oz rating for that spoon. I use 2 ounce metals on the pier and they cast a mile!

[@kelley867]

Great video as always! I had to pause and look at the Penn reel and for the first time ever in my life I was able to buy a Penn reel thanks to my job they gave me $100 Amazon gift card and I ordered the Penn fierce three 6000 it’s coming in next week. Couldn’t believe you were using pretty much the same one that I ordered. What an awesome day of fishing for you. Thanks for sharing.

[@tomseadon9965]

That’s a fisherman’s dream! Fish on every cast! I never had a day like that, at the beach anyway.

[@ddselvig]

I want that brownie recipe, Brant!

[@DelgadoFishing5]

[@maxmishuk7812]

When he showed his beach cart I didn't see his lews rod and I was say what now but then I saw it😅😅

[@ericnelson5866]

I've only ever witnessed that 1 time and I couldn't get to them, about 20 people fishing and only 1 was able to get out to them and only once but his equipment couldn't handle it. Spooled him so fast it melted the line into the guide and broke the line

[@billyjax844]

We use those in Cali for trolling for tuna and bonito

[@TheFish580]

Fred is like "are you gonna eat that ladyfish or can I have it"
