Bluefish attacks s.p. minnow

[@Tezido]

Woooaa.. Your heart pumps like hell dude! (3:40) Great video!

phat_dude woah

[@Well_Edumacated]

Nah that’s normal.

[@finnthinkin7695]

That little monster of a reel is rank one of the best spinners here in new Zealand in all aspects. From price, good looking, performance, durability, rigidity, and the drags on the are freaken crazy. Don't know if penn will top the slammer3 for a while. Nice to see the slammer3 in action and a great footage brother. I bought all sizes of slammer3 for the price of one of my high end shimano stella, and the stella has not been used since. I think I'm gonna sell the stella to get me some Penn slammer3 red high speed and that's my spinner gears for life. CHEERS From new Zealand. Nice one bro.

[@RH421939]

thank you

[@pitpit8080]

You should manually close the bail instead of using the handle it apply more pressure on the pinion

[@bertotrevino9043]

Listen to that drag purrr😍

[@cliffmeans6986]

Why didnt you tighten up the drag...?

[@Giiiiiiiooooooooo]

Great video! It looked like you struggled there for a second but were able to recover nicely! Great job!

[@datdudenosense]

Multi-tasking monster.....lol

[@o4murph]

By far my favorite Bluefish Video!!!!

[@RH421939]

thanks

[@mrsargemeister]

Nice video...subbed. Is that a floating or sinking sp?

[@RH421939]

thanks,, floating 6"

@@RH421939 I see this was in 2017. Any luck with the gators in 2018? They seemed to be scarce.

[@RH421939]

did petty good last may on them it wasn't as good as 2017 though

[@_Tang0_]

I have the same reel and cant wait to hear the drag clicker on it.

[@MARKLINMAN1]

Great video, does the slammer come as a Baitrunner? How do you like that slammer?

[@RH421939]

as far a I know they don't make a baitrunner model, I love this reel especially for surf fishing you get a quality reel that is sealed and not spending ton of money on it

[@MARKLINMAN1]

Saltwater Angler ok cool, thanks for the response, this will definitely be my next one, I do more surf fishing than anything else.

[@DanyBigGame]

I really love this video. It is simple but very beautiful. The Penn Slammer is incredible and its brake is very progressive. I think you have the brake very well regulated according to the circumstances in which you find yourself. Congratulations

[@RH421939]

thanks

[@gorgonyomagalpoc7952]

Is this 4500 series?

[@RH421939]

5500

[@charliemaddock3459]

Hey man have you had any braid issues/ wind knots with the slammer????

[@RH421939]

only time I really get wind knot issues is when the spool is completely full but I noticed that with all my reels , other than the occasional wind knot that usually happens when the bite is on

[@Jimmymag909]

holly fuck I love that sound

[@searex2268]

I don't get why u don't tighten the drag down but instead u hold on to the spool, 5500 has 40 lbs max drags, the drag doesn't need to be tighten at max, but it need to set at the level where the fish doesn't spool out your line so easily. anyway, great video.

[@RH421939]

that canal has strong current and if it is a decent fish on and it starts running there is no stopping it, holding the spool is easier than playing with drag knob adjusting loose and tight I had fish there straighten heavy hooks and rings and that was just a sp minnow with all factory gear on It have to keep the pressure right or that fish would be gone and the hook would be straight

[@franktheo2055]

Wow ! Slammer Meets Slammer !

[@AnglingAddictssrilanka]

nice catch...you gaffed the fish well....

[@RH421939]

thanks , I'm done using a net and trying to get the fish and treble hooks untangled for a hour , I take my time with the gaffe and stick them in the mouth makes it so much easier for me and the fish

[@robthorpe1591]

Tighten down that drag. Especially in that current. You gotta turn that fish quick. The Slammer can handle it.

[@RH421939]

the slammer can but factory sp minnow hooks cant

[@robthorpe1591]

You know you should always switch out the factory hooks and split rings on an SP minnow - that's a rookie move of which you are not.

[@RH421939]

yeah I know I have over 40 sp minnows that will get a little pricy , I just started using the new yo zuri hydro minnow those are really nice and cast way better than a sp and hooks and rings are much stronger

[@robthorpe1591]

That's a good lure - I try to carry max of 5 SP minnows in my bag - just switch them out and rotate to keep cost down. You probably only have a handful that you fish regularly and consider your favorites. I used to be the carrier of way too much in my bag.

[@RH421939]

I don't carry all them I have my favorites and try to carry 2 of those colors you know how that goes certain times of the day fish are only interested in 1 color and you lose that one you can be out of business , those factory hooks anyway 1 decent size fish the hooks have to be changed anyway

[@wa7293]

Do you need a strong rod for bluefish, i have an 8'6" rod that cast up to 1.25oz, would this work?

[@RH421939]

that Is fine the rod in this video is a 8' with a lure weight 3/8 oz to 2oz ,I mainly use this rod for blues and stripers on the beach or when I go to this canal , also my other main bluefish rod is 7' 1/2 oz to 2oz lure weight that I mostly use on my boat, it also depends on how your fishing to with bait or lures you want to mke sure your rod isn't stiff as a board if your throwing plugs or metal lures

[@JOEOLIVASWWJ]

Nice Action n fish...thks for sharing...

[@David808Hi]

That’s how you twist up your braid. Never crank the handle while the fish is pulling drag. Nice footage though

[@_Tang0_]

David Palmeira Even on a swivel? Im new to fishing so tips like this are gems.

[@RH421939]

yes 6'' sp

[@toddscafidi6075]

Is that the Manasquan river?

[@RH421939]

very close to it

[@iangarbe]

At first i was thinking "tighten that drag a little" But in that precarious position I'd want some leeway too. Doesn't look like there's anywhere to get back up if you fell in.

[@RH421939]

there is ladders every couple hundred yards but I still wouldn't want to fall in there with the current that rips through there

[@namjachannel5814]

Strek good🤤🤤

[@williamgoring7605]

I used to stand in the surf New Smyrna Beach Florida and Fish Blue Fish it never took me that long to reel in a Bluefish he totally didn't have his drag set right I guess it's all for the video but nice real that's got it goin on

[@RH421939]

you also don't get bluefish in florida like we get in new jersey , was probably a 30-32 inch blue in a canal with a strong current and they use that current to their advantage very well and drag wasn't set to tight because factory hooks and rings on sp minnow

[@nchemi5135]

Good fight . Next time tighten that drag that's a slammer you got bro lol

[@RH421939]

i could tighten it so the factory sp minnow hooks would straighten , why would I do that , and people don't realize how strong the current is in this spot and the fish run 3 times harder than if your on a boat in the middle of the river or ocean

How's the reel performing until now?Any issues?

[@RH421939]

have had the reel for 2 years now and has had heavy use and no issues , the ipx 6 sealing keeps this reel pretty much water proof they say your not supposed to submerge but I had it submerged in mexico for 20 minutes fighting a big jack crevalle and it performed flawless and opened it up afterwards and was completely dry inside, I will be getting my 3rd slammer soon you cant beat what you get for the money with the slammer 3

[@shorejiggerchris3364]

@@RH421939 Thats great to hear no issues.I bought it for light jigging hope it will handle jigs up to 120gr.Do you know how to make the bail closing manually?

[@RH421939]

what size did you get? because I know with bigger sizes it does not close manually . I have a 8500 slammer 3 also I use for shark fishing and that size doesn't have a manual bail close have to do it by hand

[@shorejiggerchris3364]

@@RH421939 I got the 5500 which has auto bail.

So much fun bro!

[@floridabmw3150]

Looks like a good time man!

[@RH421939]

the slammer 3 is holding up excellent , its a great surf fishing reel especially because its sealed I had that reel with me in cancun last march and landed a 25-30 pound jack crevalle I had to go in the water to maneuver it out of the jetty I was on which was pretty stupid seeing how the water was over my head but the reel was completely under water for a good 10-15 minutes and worked flawless I got back to my room at the resort and opened it up and 100% dry the only issue I have had was a problem with the drag 2 weeks ago but that ended up being ice under the drag knob , that's what happens when you fish the beach in new jersey this time of year

[@robthorpe1591]

Jack Crevalle are a good fight. I caught a nice Jack on light travel rod in West Palm Beach last year. He went on a crazy first run and then it was a fight to get line back. Only got him in with the help of the waves.

Lol bluefish and you got your bailset like your afraid to lose a fish of a life time ha ha.

[@RH421939]

apparently you never caught a decent bluefish in a strong current because they run 10 times harder when they get in the rip ,and there was factory hooks and rings on that plug that are weak so its all about working the drag , but you probably don't know what I'm talking about just stick to sunnys on a pond somewhere

Okay don’t show the fish. And don’t show the vid.
