This week, Gulf Coast Nation, heads back out to the root of their company and hit the beach!
To hit the beach WITH them, head on over to gulfcoastnation.com to book your trip today!
After a roller coaster of warm and cold weather on the northern gulf coast, GCN finally found a favorable weather window holding all the components that pointed towards a good night of shark fishing! A few hours after getting baits out, they had one rod have a small shark pick up the bait. After a close inspection, they knew the shark had dropped the bait, but moments later, the rod next to them would go off and their life as it was would never be the same.

Love shark fishing?? Here is our biggest shark of 2019!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4CxgoN3j9qnkKc

[@nikospate]

This one had me heartbroken. Us shark guys all know that hopeless feeling

[@GulfCoastNation]

Oh yeah! Just like that she was gone! Part of the game though! We will eventually get another shot!🇺🇸🦈🙌

[@zakhilliard]

I felt that cutoff in my soul

[@GulfCoastNation]

It is tough man... just gotta get back up and keep going!💪

[@justinlanfair2659]

Ain’t gonna lie y’all seem like y’all play with them sharks

[@GulfCoastNation]

If you mean drag wise this is 60 pounds of drag at strike haha. This girl was RUNNING- be sure to checkout other videos. We be sure to use high drag and get em in fast. Just some big fish don't like to do that immediately 😒

[@reelsnrodssa9822]

6:34 ghost?

[@GulfCoastNation]

RIGHT!!👀 THATS WHAT cut us off!

[@Jake.warren251]

6:52 made me shed a tear

[@GulfCoastNation]

😓😓 True heartbreak right there..

[@YakinwithJack]

Man just watched this again. I can’t wait to spend cold nights on the beach this winter 🤙🏽🤗😬

[@GulfCoastNation]

HAHA always good for a rewatch! Excited to be on the sand with you soon man!!

[@MattsSaltwaterFishing]

Man that was one insane run! Hearing that 130 scream @5:14 is music to my ears.

[@GulfCoastNation]

It definitely sounds like a chainsaw! The raw power of that fish was amazing! Just happy we had that experience!

[@MattsSaltwaterFishing]

@@GulfCoastNation really enjoying y'alls shark fishing videos looking forward to more of them this Spring and Summer.

[@GulfCoastNation]

We are glad you are liking them! We definitely will keep them coming! We have lots of trips booked this summer so we will be on the sand a lot!🇺🇸🦈

[@MattsSaltwaterFishing]

@@GulfCoastNation heck yeah, best of luck to y'all!

[@TheLawlessTide]

Great video guys! Everyone that fishes felt the pain of that line breaking. Really exciting stuff, keep it up!

[@GulfCoastNation]

Haha well atleast we could capture the emotions of the audience!! Thanks for the support! We will be back out there asap!💪

[@scottsmo7715]

LOVE the attitude in this video. Keep at em boys!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@GulfCoastNation]

Gotta keep your head up to get the next one! AND WE DID! Checkout the video when we land a mako from the beach!

[@YakinwithJack]

Pure heart break. Way to get a bait back out there 🤙🏽

[@GulfCoastNation]

Yes sir! Just gotta keep fishing!💪

[@maxschmidt9461]

What I do for some extra security is to splice on hollow core one size bigger than the mainline on the entire length that gets yaked out, therefore only very little or no mono, the heavier braid is strong enough for all impact force, as long as you're drags are smooth you don't need mono

[@GulfCoastNation]

That would be a very long splice! haha braid doesn't take abrasion compared to mono. Interesting approach though!

[@whenwingsfail]

Heart broken for you guys. Love your videos.

[@GulfCoastNation]

Thanks man.. good news is we are about 4-6 weeks away from winter time fishing and we are ready to put in the work to get our revenge

[@PaulAndrewOdabashian]

Definitely fish of a lifetime!

[@GulfCoastNation]

Yes sir for sure! We will get our shot again!💪

[@pulido6974]

Doing the double Dutch together 😅😂😅😱

[@GulfCoastNation]

🤣🤣🤣☠☠☠

[@allanat1607]

What a run! Sorry you lost it!

[@GulfCoastNation]

Part of the fun! Haha thanks for watching!🦈

[@cristtrevino7190]

we live in south Texas , and that is one of the reasons we use a 6feet at the bottom of the fishing rack. so that it is harder for the line to rub on the sand .

[@GulfCoastNation]

Our bars our not as bad as yours for sure! Just unlucky

[@cristtrevino7190]

@@GulfCoastNation ours are really bad , and it does happen , that is why it is called fishing , and not catching.

[@GulfCoastNation]

@@cristtrevino7190 right right! If you haven't seen it, checkout our pins video! We went to Texas!

[@cristtrevino7190]

@@GulfCoastNation I personally never gone to pins , even though I know where it is at , we go to South Padre Island , pins is in north padre island. And yes pins has way better bigger sharks than south Padre.

[@earlmassey8408]

Dam it Boy Big. Fish. Good Job 👍🏻

[@GulfCoastNation]

Thank you sir! Definitely a fun fight!

[@jaydawg8120]

That was a great video. Every fisherman out there has felt a similar disappointment. Fishing is a numbers game - the more you fish the better your odds of landing that giant. Keep putting baits out there and you’ll land plenty of big boys on video. Keep taking us along for the ride :-).

[@GulfCoastNation]

Yes sir!! It was a tough loss but a fight I will cherish forever!! We will definitely keep y'all on the journey with us!!

[@BamaBeachBum]

Man, that sucks. That thing was strong.

[@GulfCoastNation]

Super strong and had some crazy whicked speed! Definitely never been in the harness with a beast like that!🇺🇸

[@5.7hemi.713]

How much is that rod with rollers n without rollers ??

[@GulfCoastNation]

Not sure on pricing- we had it built by Micheal Holt. We didn't have it priced without rollers

[@bobbyh177]

6:52 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO man thats rough =( i feel for you

[@GulfCoastNation]

True fishing heart break right there!

[@BamaDanKnives]

Awesome!!! Thx

[@GulfCoastNation]

Glad you enjoyed the watch!🇺🇸💪

[@RossReddick91]

If this isn't a shark fishing motivational video I don't know what is. Nice job!

[@GulfCoastNation]

Haha We can not wait to make the redemption video for yall!💪

[@bakedbaker6097]

Ugh that fucking hurts. Seen it happen to a buddy, something smacked half of a cownose ray (roughly 15lb chunk) as soon as he set the hook it ran him down to the water and proceeded to spool 500yds of line. Literally ran the spool dry. He still wont talk about it 😂🤣😂 happened maybe 3-4 yrs ago

[@GulfCoastNation]

All apart of the fun unfortunately! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@1093lilsmoke]

That drag run at 5:14 was epic!! That line breaking at 6:52 😫

[@GulfCoastNation]

Haha it was the fight of our lives to the defeat of our lives!😓

[@1093lilsmoke]

Gulf Coast Nation you’ll catch a bigger one. Just watch

[@GulfCoastNation]

We hope so! We don't plan to ever stop hunting for that mako so with enough time an work!💪

[@1093lilsmoke]

Gulf Coast Nation 🌊🔥 awesome! Tight Lines!

[@matthewreed581]

A fish of a lifetime! Man that sucks! Just got a new sub here

[@GulfCoastNation]

Yes sir, it was an experience we will never forget and only strengthened the chase!!🙌 Thank you for the support!💪🦈

[@TarponWorld]

Nooo!!!!

[@GulfCoastNation]

😓😓😓

[@TulsaPedUrgentCare]

What a fight!

[@GulfCoastNation]

Oh my gosh! It was the time of our lives for sure! That's what we are always after! Hope you like that shirt design too!

[@TulsaPedUrgentCare]

I noticed that! ❤️. Let’s hook it again in about 6 weeks 😉👍🏼

[@GulfCoastNation]

Oh we definitely will! Can't wait!!

[@Fay_Distefano]

Aw man the heartbreak! 😭 But you were able to have that experience from dedication and hard work! You guys are awesome! I know you guys will get on another one. Persistence pays off and you guys got that! Keep up the great work!👊💪👏

[@GulfCoastNation]

Yes ma'm!! Thank you so much! We will 100% keep at it! Blessed for that experience there and it will eventually happen again! WE DON'T QUIT!💪🇺🇸

[@Fay_Distefano]

Gulf Coast Nation I actually have a question. I know nothing about shark fishing. Is there some kind of quick release for the rod while in the harness? That shark would’ve pulled me right in. 🤣

[@GulfCoastNation]

Haha there is not! You are strapped in! BUT when we take clients out, we always have someone in front!! We have had some lady anglers catch some giant sharks! Everyone needs a spotter though!

[@Fay_Distefano]

Gulf Coast Nation Wow!! That’ll give me even more anxiety now when I’m watching. 🤣 I have seen videos where there’s a couple people hanging onto the one strapped in. Now I know why. Haha. Never having lost a client is a plus😜 I may or may not think you’re a little crazy but keep at it!👍

[@GulfCoastNation]

Yes ma'm we will! Thanks for the support! We definitely love what we do!!🇺🇸

[@Str8UpSlots]

You guys have some really cool gear , holly cow what the heck !! NO WAY NO WAY That just happened sorry guys I know that sucks - that’s fishing though , that’s right back at it that’s the spirit . Hope yah get a chance to check us out we are fishing for something different but still looking for the big one ☝️

[@GulfCoastNation]

Thank you for the kind words and support! Yes, you just gotta keep fishing!

[@rickyanderson4189]

what lb line you use, whats ur drag at strike

[@GulfCoastNation]

This reel is spooled with 1000 yards of 200lb 12 strand hollow core braid and has a topshot of 200lb mono. We set our 130 size reels to have 65 pounds of drag at strike. Definitely need a spotter!

[@charlestonsharkandsurf]

What lb line was that on? A little to much heat on him.

[@GulfCoastNation]

It was 200 pound braid to 200 pound mono! Not too much heat! We have put more pressure than that on a shark before! Had a swim through by another shark! It happens!

[@lanceeggenberg9595]

Had this happen on my biggest tiger 20ft off the beach. She bit straight through the steel cable :(

[@GulfCoastNation]

Dang!! I have heard of Tigers chewing through cable! Heart breaking stuff man, but that is part of it! Keeps ya coming back!

[@TopMerk]

What part of Florida was this in?

[@GulfCoastNation]

The panhandle!

[@TopMerk]

@@GulfCoastNation Like pensacola? Im only asking cuz im moving there at the end of the month and these kinds of videos are really cool, would love to do some stuff like this myself once everything clears up

[@brianbf9750]

What's up fellas That truly sucks Sorry you got cut off Great video How much drag was that shark pulling when you almost got pulled in with your 130? It looked like it prob saw that bar and went heck no I'm turning around Keep at it and keep your heads held high

[@GulfCoastNation]

Haha that shark was WAAAYYYYY out there the entire fight! Since the spool was so low it is hard to say exactly but somewhere around 50-60 pounds we would guess! Dylan definitely wasn't able to hold it all on his own until he was laid all the back! Haha

[@dustinjolliffe7341]

Man..that sucks

[@GulfCoastNation]

Tough loss for sure man...

[@oreoblizzard1662]

Oh my god...Nice catch and all, but seriously, no joke, I think you just caught a ghost on camera guys! It looks like someone is running on the beach at 6:30 and 6:35....HOLY SMOKES IT LOOKS LIKE 2 PEOPLE CHASING EACH OTHER!!!!! Look at the white apparition running from your sand spike on the right to the left of the screen!! OMG!!! Edit: After rewatching it appears there are more than 5 apparitions...holy smokes!!!!!!

[@GulfCoastNation]

RIGHT!! We have been told this in the past isn't that crazy weird!?😱

[@oreoblizzard1662]

Gulf Coast Nation 100% !!! My wife suggested that it was sand, so we slowed it down to .25 speed and watching her jaw drop was amazing haha 😂 OH! I caught my first good sized shark tonight. It was a 5’5 Bignose Shark and it weighed around 75-85 lbs
