I Saw Something CRAZY Cruising 50 Yards Off the BEACH!

[@candydatko4468]

I love how good natured you are! So many would have been irritated at others crossing their line. It’s refreshing to see people being kind to each other. Thanks for your example.

[@briancooper2737]

I'll second that one!

[@dustinowens1716]

It happens. At least he got the fish and everyone enjoyed it and walked away happy.

[@davidkearley4717]

Great video and a fun fish to catch. You should do a catch clean and cook on one just to see for yourself. I’ve only known a few that have ate them Chris Sherrill cooked one on video one time.

[@dbettis6477]

Cmon man I disagree me and my sons go fishing all the time the most annoying thing is when people are not catching fish and move closer and closer to you then throw across all 3 of your lines at the same time Then it happens over and over again. Just because you move closer to me doesn’t mean you are going to catch fish

[@eduardoaquino7461]

​@@dbettis6477 totally agree

[@ericjorgensen8028]

Thanks for being so kind to the entangler ... What we always hope someone will do for us if we screw up. Well done and some great fishing too👍

[@kingfish1025]

What a great life you have Beach Bum. Fishing foir a. living and part owner of a tackle store. Simply sweet!

[@strayedcat1966]

Super-size bull Jacks! Way to play! You handled the fish and tanglers really well; You are a reel gentleman. @10:56 rod/reel on the sand. Here's a simple easy tip, always put your reel handle-side down which keeps the rotor and bail elevated off the ground. Enjoyed the video.

[@budgregory8493]

Great job! You schooled the school! Very good patience you showed when tangled up with the other folks. Great sportsmanship. Enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing!

[@savvydirtfarmer]

Great fish,,, but the real props is for how you handled that mangled up line situation. Good on you Bum!

[@robertkreiling1746]

How wonderful for this channel . No Stupid music soundtrack just your teaching voice and the sounds of nature and the surf . Bravo !

[@patriciaguenzler9150]

Awesome Matt thanks for sharing

[@lc1717]

well done... Nice to be on the beach...

[@agould53]

Dang nice job, especially on that second one, Bum. Also very nice to ease that lady's mind. Awesome video.

[@The3percenter]

We were down in Perdido Key last week. Stopped in at the store and picked up some Bummy Rigs, some shirts, and some toys for the kiddos. The store looks great, the shirts are some of the most comfortable ones I own, and the kids loved the toys. The Bummy Rigs caught a meal of whiting. They also hold up really well to small sharks. Caught 5 on the same rig. Keep it up, Matt. Love the content. Gonna swing back by in September.

[@Trojan2024]

Damn! Two nice Jacks, amazing! Bar none they are one of the best fighting fishes. Good job! Really enjoy your channel.

[@birdmanfishing04096]

Awesome 🤩 content right there, Beach Bum!! And you handled those tangled lines about as professionally as you possibly could have! What a fun video!!

[@scottc543]

Damn! Seeing a jack that big really shows what an eating machine they are, with a huge mouth and jaws. Great fish! Thanks for the video, Matt.

[@jefft022]

What awesome conditions, thanks for sharing!

[@quangcanhtv]

wow. natural i like it. so good video

[@heath2898]

Wow man great fish and way to keep calm 👍

[@markroper9269]

That water is so calm!!!j Nice fish!! Lots of people helping out.....

[@scottweidner1613]

Awesome morning great video👍👍 Cant wait to see the next one!!!

[@BlueLineFishing]

Those Jack's are one big muscle with a fin, so much fun!

[@BamaBeachBum]

Love them!

[@tntoutdoors_]

I sure am glad you guys are still fishing after the store opened !! Killing it with the big boyz !! 🧨🧨🧨

[@jasonvelasquez6673]

Oh u teaser.... Great day thx for sharing.

[@danver1971]

Have yet to hook up on my first Jack. Looks like an amazing experience. Great teaser there at the end as well.

[@josephwatts8147]

I like the preview at the end. Good idea

[@vinceglauser4770]

Awesome fish.

[@brianjeffrey1790]

Great video Matthew that second Jack was a great landing job took some teamwork what count you got it on the beach

[@BamaBeachBum]

Lol yep

[@samuelschult985]

Great catches made for a great video 👍

[@texasmr2]

Nothing beats top water action.

[@victorching6278]

Can't believe the size of that Jack. And you released it. Amazing.

[@glorialotz3333]

What else would you do with it? Not fit to eat.

[@markphilips9107]

Great video, really shows your character, and love the teaser at the end!

[@quitefrank123]

Great watch Matt- my goal to catch one that size- such fun!

[@garycywinski9440]

I haven't fished saltwater in years but I love your videos. I fish cold streams and rivers for trout with tenkara and ultralight spin gear. It's a blast watching you take big fish out of the surf. You got a nice family too

[@sshaw4429]

Shore fishing! The best!

[@ralphsaldana529]

Nice catch 🤙😎

[@matthamilton4677]

Nice fish bro welldone

[@BeardedBrad92]

You spent all off season training for this moment! Biggest whiting I’ve ever seen!

[@hensowi]

Way to go man. I got on them this morning.

[@eddiewesley1093]

Nice Jack Bum! Awesome!!! Another great Beach Bum vid!!!!👍👍👍👋👋👋🎣🎣🎣

[@BamaBeachBum]

Thanks!

[@stankbaitfishing7914]

I have been seeing folks post those catches on the FB pages. Figured you would have a video on it soon! NICE one!

[@robertleslie2467]

That first jack was a big bombucha! Thats the kine fishing right there. Mahalo.

[@ronaldarchie7276]

Hi Matt I have caught jack crevalle in the Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico they are a very fun fish to catch just found out this year we can catch them on the south east beaches of NC hope to find out for myself very soon

[@nelsonx5326]

Nice fish. They look good to eat.

[@terrycrosby9149]

Love the content. Don't get too do that or I should say haven't done that in quite a few years.

[@jeb533]

I love Jack's on the beach. Wish I was there, nothing better

[@joeyhelton7114]

Great fish! Love these videos!

[@shirleymhernandez4197]

Wht I live is tht ur so kind and love the catch and release good owning from us in notern ca 😊

[@troycosgrove8851]

Love that top water action. Keep it up. Stay bummy. 👍

[@CGLFishing]

Dang you really gonna leave us on a cliffhanger like that?? Excited to see what you caught! Love seeing the big jacks. On my bucket kist to caych a big one!

[@comfortablynumb9342]

I've had them drag the boat around, they fight. Very hard.

[@CGLFishing]

@@comfortablynumb9342 can't wait to catch one one day!

[@madhatter2465]

That was a beautiful Jack!

[@prestondevader6199]

Let’s goooo. Great vid, Matt!!!!

[@BamaBeachBum]

Thanks!

[@prestondevader6199]

Np man! I’m coming to check out the shop after work sometime, I’m right across 59 at the airport. Does google have your business hours of operation already set up?

[@BamaBeachBum]

Yes it does!

[@leeanderson6844]

Matt… advice I would give a newbie in Hatteras is to “keep up with your fish - stay perpendicular to the fish as he runs - AND keep your toes in the water.’ Nice Jack!!

[@BamaBeachBum]

Always what I do and same advice I give!

[@leeanderson6844]

@@BamaBeachBum - you’re a good man…

[@brittlinton8764]

Ur living my dream life lol enjoy it make the most of it

[@mweimorts]

Jack crevalle are sleepers. They will run you down the beach iff you dont want to get spooled. When you think you have got them in, they make another run. My absolute favorite fish to catch surf fishing.

[@charlesreyna1788]

Impressive fish!

[@BamaBeachBum]

They are!

[@seangrizzle7063]

Great video keep it up

[@FREEDOM195844]

You do a great job and it’s nice if your not going to eat the fish you return them to the sea!

[@maces1405]

Hoo he left us with a cliff hanger!! 😂

[@AmateurFloridaInshoreSportsman]

Epic Jack!

[@wambathewisefool2893]

When you first hooked him and he started to run, I saw your left hand go up on the rod and the rod twisted a tad, where you checking the reel to reel seat nut?

[@georgecates9538]

Can’t wait for my first!

[@no_step_on_snek9796]

Nice dude! I wish we had jacks up in NC, they look like a blast to catch

[@BamaBeachBum]

They are my favorite!

[@Newuser-d8q]

Great content, keep it up

[@BamaBeachBum]

Thanks!

[@DavidMcallister-UnknownLocatio]

love the channel- coming down to Perdido Key last week of July....just retired and am loving fishing...was there the month of March and caught many types of fish for the first time...do you have beach charters ....you or bearded brad?/.....Looking to learn and get better at beach and pier fishing

[@jeffreyoishi8394]

I’m curious, how close is too close when approaching someone’s spot? Being inexperienced at surf fishin, I don’t want to cast into another’s established spot

[@mattjones1378]

The bummy stick doing some work. My next fishing rod.

[@BamaBeachBum]

It’s a great stick!

[@barryd.thomassr.9156]

To the lady on your video, when you lay your rod down on the beach. HANDLE goes down to hold spool out of sand!

[@PenCo91oh]

Or just don't put it in the sand to begin with. 2 things I don't throw on the ground.... my rods or my guns. Always good to have a backpack on the beach you can always throw that rod in your pack and keep it off the ground.

[@anewlookatlurestopwaterpop5466]

Good job

[@DJMflpanhandle]

Great fish saw 1 at the peir. 2 cast and gone

[@thecedarridgechronicles]

Man I wish I was there that morning!

[@frankmccarthy2624]

I’ve caught a good number of jack crevalle in mainland Mexico and Baja. Mostly on poppers. They’re just brutes. They’ll wear you out on medium tackle. I’ve caught them in Florida too. The pacific jacks are a little darker color, green with darker strips. But in every other way they’re the same fish.

[@bobwehner7881]

I love to see the topwater action. Kinda missed seeing pompano, this year.

[@IanB22]

"Why is he not stopping...." greatest question a fisherman can ask one's self.... ;)

[@almostlikeart4you]

Oh hell no! Your way more patient than than I'd of been with that fiasco Matt, I'd of been pissed if they crossed my line, especially when I had a Jack on there

[@brandonherrera8341]

We just talked about this at the Memorial Day event.. can’t wait to get this popper in the water!

[@skwid98173482]

I was in Gulf Shores all last week and all I caught was hard tails pin fish, and a catfish I went to the pier saw bearded Brad they were targeting Jack’s as soon as they left two schools came through when he came back I told him about it he was like oh crap and all of a sudden the first day that I’m home from vacation you’re out catching Jacks from the beach!! Dang!!

[@DJMflpanhandle]

Simple a great fish

[@bencartrett4867]

Killer hookups dude. Enjoy.

[@DonaldHudgens-ju5xu]

I love watching your top water videos, hoping to hook one myself soon

[@ronmartin5971]

Oh the suspense lol

[@comfortablynumb9342]

I agree, jacks are the hardest fighters around. Bonita are faster but they don't have the same stamina. They're fun to catch and great shark bait.

[@dennishoddy]

Tell us the months your catching these surf fish in. Be there in Feb and March. Looking forward to visiting your store and catching some fish in the surf.

[@dharlow5810]

I was screaming at the screen "just cut your #%!#^% line. 🤣

[@KarenUntz]

Group fishin'! 😅

[@walterthompson6318]

What size poppers are those you’re throwing far is inches Cause I’m planning on moving to Florida and I was just curious what I needed to throw tapwater. Thank you.

[@ericlarson3629]

Nice

[@patricksnyder3446]

got your workout today!

[@knivesgunfights526]

Matt, I am up in Montgomery. I wish our paths had crossed while you were in Wetumpka. There are many viewers who have never visited our incredible coast. They don't know what they are missing! Wide beaches, family oriented, great accommodations, food, and fishing. My family and I have been there when the sun was so bright and the sand so white that we had to wear sunglasses. I mean seriously bright and white.

[@backlashfisherman]

Any plans to come back to NC OBX???

[@alvielairson561]

Strong icaught a 75 pounder in shiping chanel port canaveral good catch

[@NorthAlabamaAdventures]

I had a dream last night that I hooked into a jack on topwater and Hulk Hogan strolled up and helped me land him.. 🤷🏻‍♂️ 😂 Thanks for teaching us North AL river rats the way of the coast!!

[@joegarcia3214]

6:31 / 14:55 I Saw Something CRAZY Cruising 50 Yards Off the BEACH! So what exactly were you referring to seeing? A ufo ? A uso ? A mermaid? I didn't see.

[@HVSJR-n5q]

Did you see the Alabama cruising out to sea? lol

[@filegumbo]

I was having trouble understanding how you guys got tangled.

[@BamaBeachBum]

My line slid into his speed clip. So it wasn’t an easy removal.

Where is this at?

Killer day Matt! Do they run off the beach of Dauphin Island and would they be there in early September?

Too bad it wasn't a good eating fish... but I get the thrill of landing a nice fish, caught the biggest specs I have in my life several years ago off the beach with a rattle trap before dawn, right from gs al.
