[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks Leo 🙌

[@dennisgrocholski4190]

Alex, hope you and yours are safe and not impacted by the tornadoes. My prayers are with you.

[@JeffGeraldFishing]

Bonus fish completes the drum set. Those were some nice size fish. Congrats to you sir out there in the cold grinding it out with a cold. Nice video, hope you get to feeling better soon 👊🏻

[@RealisticFishing]

I hope so too 👍

[@ozzfest12349]

Pretty bad mood today. Glad to see a Realistic video to help out with my day.

[@RealisticFishing]

Cheers!

[@ericwhitlow7364]

Beast of a fish. Old gentleman I was fishing with caught a 17 pound drum. Never saw one that big before.

[@RealisticFishing]

They get huge!

[@massachusettsprepper]

That first one was a monster . And the other two were nothing to sneeze at. Definitely catching some nice fish in cold water brother. Thanks for sharing.

[@RealisticFishing]

I love catching the biggins!

[@christopherwiggins1705]

[@rustysetser9754]

This channel NEVER DISAPPOINTS and that sir is REALISTIC!

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks for watching Rusty 👍

[@nicholaswesley7303]

Alex I truly love watching your videos! They are honest, pure, and you’re a funny dude that’s how fishing is supposed to be!

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks!

[@victorkaren2393]

That first drum was the biggest I have ever seen. This video is one of your best. Love watching live bait fishing. Keep the quality videos coming!!!

[@RealisticFishing]

👍👍

[@Legallyblindoutdoors]

Those were some nice drum,our winter has been weird it gets cold for a couple days then warms up and rains alot at once and repeat

[@RealisticFishing]

Been pretty cold here, but it should warm up soon

[@lindaheaden4727]

YOOOOO Realistic I just got skunked I’m on the way back home

[@RealisticFishing]

Thats realistic! 🏆 Better luck next time

[@petermoss9218]

Outstanding! Not one but two in one day. Keep those lines tight.

[@sethjohnsonoutdoors4055]

Wooooooo weeeeeeeeeee!!!!!! That 1st drum was absolutely HUGE!!! What a awesome video 📹 👏

[@Lserra1433]

I love your videos man I've been watching you for a year now I've learned a lot of my stuff from you I've probably watched all your videos and will keep watching your channel greetings from San Antonio texas

[@sammyvh11]

Great stuff love that late winter when water comes up from 30s to 40s. Stuff happens.

[@nashguy207]

Another great video from realistic fishing. Thanks for taking the time in this cold winter weather to go out and make these awesome videos for us to enjoy watching. Have a great day!!!

[@RobBassMaster]

Nice drum my friend! Definitely a “tank” of a drum at 26” long and 9” tall. 🎣👊🏼

[@HopskysLounge]

those drum look like they fight good. that first 1 was a beauty. good job

[@LeatherNeck1833]

07:20 That's not what SHE said! 😂 I think that Drum would have gone closer to 12 lbs. IMHO. My 9 pounder was 24 1/2 long and 7 tall. Great catch either way!

[@elruso8675]

What a tank!! You got those drums figured out. Way to go!

[@mylesclark3136]

All I can say is WOW! You are the master!

[@sjones7400]

Couple of manly drum fish!! Good job!👍👍👍👍👍. Great vid. Provided me some much needed entertainment this evening. Peace bro.

[@RealisticFishing]

✌

[@TheJuggaloFishingPosse]

Pa rumpa pum pum!!! Incredible drum bro!!! What a fatty. Never seen one that big before man, awesome catch.

[@RealisticFishing]

They are out there waiting to share a faygo

[@bdog3106]

Your videos get me amped about fishing, thanks you for keeping it realistic!

[@jbay6946]

That’s definitely keeping realistic. Those are some big drum Alex.

[@donellis6469]

[@RealisticFishing]

[@jbake5022]

You have been absolutely slaying the big drum lately!

[@FishBerry90]

And your persistence has paid off again! That was a big ass Drum! On the realistic rig 👍🎣🤘

[@carltonphelps8088]

Good god man! That fish is HUGH. Great fishing. Now if we can get close captioning back.

[@bigblackmonkeyballs5273]

Awesome video and fish. Tight lines and keep it realistic. 🤙🎣🤘

[@RealisticFishing]

KIR!

[@TheMoonEcat]

No skunk for me today on my first saltwater Pier fishing. But also not as big as your fishes! Nicely done.

[@poot111111]

I LOVE THAT YOU TAKE WATER TEMPS

[@poot111111]

If I could catch fish like that in my backyard why go to saltwater?

[@RealisticFishing]

Grinding through the winter near home, because thats realistic 👍

[@EarlsFishingAdventures]

Fantastic video Alex , catching monsters is definitely a great feeling well done mate

[@fourwood8451]

Good brace of fish. When we're told it's too cold to fish, no one has told the fish 😀

[@RealisticFishing]

They are still hungry 😀

[@nicholaspouliotoutdoors384]

Man the most realistic thing I ever heard on KZbin anything in the winter is a blessing amen to that brother lol so far I only caught 1 small bass I’m in southern Illinois so our waters are still cold . Great video I need to catch up and binge some videos. My first fish last year was awesome huge American carp which I caught it on your cheap drop shot method I learned from your channel

[@johndeno1071]

I really like that you caught Shad a while back and froze them, I will for sure do that in our creeks for chubs here in southern Indiana this year. What great catches on cheap mono once again who need the high $$ equipment to actually enjoy fishing and catching a lot of different fish. You are "THE MAN" Alex.

[@JendelaIslam]

this video is very amazing. happy watching your channel

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks!

[@BigBearFishing]

Awesome catch man! That was a big Drum. Take care and tight lines!!

[@bonzogoTrump]

3.5 lb. Is my best drum. Great video

[@slowstang88]

Nice drum, that's a hoss!

[@oldschoolbassman4590]

That was massive. Great catch!!

[@fishingwithvance]

Fish on Indeed.... What a nice toad of a fish. That had to be fun. So cool. Ten pound fish... great stuff.

[@rolandocastro7709]

Those were some tanks! Awesome catches!

[@creightonbradley1486]

Never seen a drum that big before nice catch

[@davetheheretic295]

That thing looks like me after the all you can eat buffet. Well done. I wish our water temps were even close to what you have. Ice is starting to come off, though.

[@RealisticFishing]

😅

[@davetheheretic295]

Are you alright? Tennessee took a beating.

[@dylant4737]

Now THAT proves you don’t need a boat and complex rigs to catch some MONSTERS! 😱

[@hitnmiss49]

That was a huge drum. It's pretty cold here in northern WV at 24° so I didn't go fishing today. I'll be out there soon though.

[@RealisticFishing]

Hopefully really soon

[@davidb2920]

You working those drums. Bounus fish are the best .

[@the_ray_garza]

Duuuude!!!! That was a beast!!!! Awesome catch Alex!!!

[@RealisticFishing]

Oh yeaaah!

[@honkeykong85]

Couple of freaky big drums there my man! Keep up the great work,Alex!

[@RealisticFishing]

Bulbous!

[@joshuaperez9896]

Congrats on the amazing catches ..great video!

[@FishYanker]

I cought a lot of drum and that is by far the fattest one I have ever seen. Very girthy, Nice one!

[@GarzaMaterials]

Congratulations Alex this are great fishing videos

[@davetheheretic295]

Dang. I go out a reservoir in eastern Colorado during the summer and catch drum, but these are 3x bigger than my best. Awesome.

[@RealisticFishing]

They can get big! My largest is a 28 incher

[@broshfishingandadventures4386]

wow that a huge one.....great video man......it got me pump up and wanna go fishing but after my work ehehe more power and god bless

[@RobertxJenks]

That looks like a good workout ! Them are tanks!

[@RealisticFishing]

💪

[@InTheWoodsToday]

Great winter fishing right here! Pretty sure you told me on a previous video comment that the grind is where you grow, and you were right! A hard grind all day long on the Muskegon River (in Michigan) fishing fast current with little experience led to a ton of snags and lost rigs. With a budget realistic rig I ended up catching my first ever Michigan Steelhead! Thank you for your insight once again Alex. I appreciate the support you give out to your subscribers and the wealth on knowledge you are willing to share. 🐟 On!

[@RealisticFishing]

Awesome! I am glad you got one

[@rodneyholmes4068]

The drums were awesome

[@Funboy870]

Great catch! Man i love the sound of drag.

[@ztemde978]

The fishing has been slow here in NC too. Got skunked my last two times out. Nice bonus when you can get’em, nice!

[@joshsheaffer7452]

What part of NC I love in New Bern

[@FarkyDave]

A beefcake!! I love it!

[@Victoria-b9r1x]

Alex, a little slow here in Orlando, crappie bite was red hot 2-3 weeks ago! Was just informed that a tornado hit your neck of the woods. Hope all are well. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Orlando Ron

[@erikb1861]

That's AWESOME! I wish I had them by me.

[@ecuadorianredneck397]

Great catches bud keep slaying them!

[@louquilici1193]

Oh - I forgot to mention, I just learned about when crawfish spawn. When that water temp hits 50, the males come up on the rocks and start looking for the females. They make little clicking noises which is imitated by lipless crank baits, square bills, and weights bouncing off the rocks from your t-rig. Figured I’d throw it at you. I’m a long way from 50 degree water here (ponds just started thawing for the 15th time again here in Chicagoland). I’m so ready to get out on a regular basis man. 19 days till spring! (Leaned this from a former tournament/outdoor channel host Named Steve Rogers. Solid dude. Has a ton of very straightforward you tube vids out there)

[@RealisticFishing]

55 is when they craws come out around here 😉

[@louquilici1193]

Realistic Fishing yeah I just learned that. Def need to keep track of that myself. Think I need to invest in one of those thermometers u have.

[@tbaz1990]

Absolute monsters. Great video Alex 👍

[@victorsimonsen921]

nice to see u catching those nice fresh water redfish that's realistic.

[@DudefishhTV]

I don’t even start watching the video before I’ve clicked the thumbs up 👍🏻. I already know it will be solid!

[@RealisticFishing]

👍

[@leondeiter7703]

Nice fish for a dreary winter day

[@wolfspiritoutdoors158]

Drum can be awesome hell of a fight too. Congrats

[@TopTacticFishing]

Nice job on the drum. I still need my first!

[@dwshehanF150]

Those were Beasts!!! You set the bar high already in 2020 with those two hogs!

[@RealisticFishing]

Oh yeah!

[@threedoutdoors7930]

46 degrees is tee shirt weather here in Wisconsin this time of year.

[@henrymeyergarvey1947]

Ya same here in Minnesota

[@ashina5924]

My cousin said that but when we met in oregon and it was 44 degrees he was cold haha

[@kevindunseoutdoors26]

I know, right! Gonna be right up there on 3/1. Going out to try my luck on some panfish!

[@TheBONGbongBONGbong]

It's long sleeve and constantly wet in WA. Wet shoes are doing me in with the friggin wind.

[@TheBONGbongBONGbong]

Everyone knows Oregon is just North California. Makes sense.

[@CHUNKYCATSFISHING]

Super Duper catch congratulations my friend

[@RealisticFishing]

Oh yeah!

[@ChaosDivers]

Ooo another one peeling drag for sure

[@bassnazi4713]

I've started using some cheap, cheap mono that works really well actually. Wal-Mart carries it but not with the other line, it's usually where the reels and smaller crappie lures are located and it's Mr. Crappie line, but you can get it in hi-vis, camo, or clear from 4lb to I think 12 and it's like a 1250 yard spool for $6-8. I had a drum around that size bite a Roadrunner on the 6lb and got it in fine and have even had several decent spotted gar fight on it and got them in. Awesome vid, should really start picking up if the rain can hold off enough for the clarity to improve. Just hope TVA doesn't drop the waters much around when they move up to lay.

[@kristinel6352]

Wow that was a huge drum!

[@RealisticFishing]

😀

[@mr_b22]

Wow!! That's a beauty. Maybe grab some neocitron on the way home. Your like a realistic commando.

[@RealisticFishing]

💪

[@squeaksadventures8871]

Way to go love hearing them pull drag

[@Phillsshow]

Thats some impressive fishing line to bring those monsters in. Nice job man.

[@RealisticFishing]

$1.97 Walmart line Zebco Omniflex 12 lb test

[@kevintebo3736]

[@RealisticFishing]

[@VanGuard1020]

River monsters!! 🤓👍🏽🎣🐟

[@ingoodhandsmedicaidconsult8627]

Congrats! Dude that was awesome!

[@hoosierbackoutdoors1237]

Those drum are fun to catch. Years ago my buddy and me sat on the river bank and caught 20 or so apiece in just a few hours. We were fishing with night crawlers on a drop shot. I am gonna try the Shad on a “realistic rig” sometime.

[@rossbowman202]

Alex you catch the drum queen. Then her husband and their chlld. Great day fishing. I need to try the Realistic rig too.

[@RealisticFishing]

Caught the whole family!

[@302FISHING]

[@jefferystovall9617]

Any day fishing is good day fishing. But catching a monster fish makes it better.

[@Gusherjoose315]

[@ChaosDivers]
