Fishing LIVE BUNKER (Pogie) For A Nearshore MONSTER!

King mackerel can be very hit or miss around here. Some days they blaze along the beaches and others no where to be seen. Trying to pattern these fish can be very frustrating for sure! Snagged some bait beyond the surf zone on this morning and tried our luck. After a long anxiety inducing fight I landed my PB king mackerel.

Elias, Now that's a drag run! Nice King Mackerel. Stay safe from Pennsylvania. Prayers sent for Meg,Elias. God bless

[@coffins69]

[@kennethmarion9]

Looks like a baby fish being born like a dolphin.

[@breecegahl3055]

Awesome KM, Elias! Impressive stuff, always fun and enjoyable to watch your adventures/content!!

[@alexanderschiele884]

Hey. Appreciate you making videos. You’re a good fisherman.

[@petecardona8203]

Awesome catch Elias! Thank you 🙏

[@vincentsalentino9906]

Awesome video sweet king mackerel! He wanted that bunker for sure lol 🤙🏻

[@2112iscoming]

Daiwa Saltist putting in the work! I wish they still made them, they're fantastic reels...I have the 20 and 40, wish I had a 30 size as well 😪 Great catch!

[@scrtchglfr]

Nice vid E! Especially that tail grab technique.

[@highseize3077]

Got bored, watched about 5 of these episodes. Every episode you say, "should have brought a gaf." So hey man this is your reminder to go out to your kayak right now and put a gaf on it 😆👌

[@TheJaymon1962]

Awesome king, E! Love the content.

[@colleenvarlow8764]

Hey thanks for explaining, for us who don't live in the states. Congratulations on catching the king.

[@davidwatson6472]

Nice catch! I agree with you about the taste.

[@7citiesfishing]

Talk about a fight! Awesome fish and video!

[@morrisronald96]

Beautiful been hearing about the Mak bite in the 30 foot range even some big spanish ive seen jumping in the intercoastal

[@JerseyJoel]

I thought that was a shark at first.....holy mackerel what a Giant! Biggest King I've ever seen - totally awesome Elias!

[@8-bitco-op897]

Went out and got me a 11lb king and a 25 inch red today. Your fish was WAY better then mine.....as always. Man love that fight keep it up.

[@allprops1]

dude awesome video, that was a beast

[@catch_fishingTV]

Nice catch big fish. Very good. 👍👍👍

[@matthewmercer2477]

Nice to see the pro get excited. The king is on my bucket list but very seldom come inshore locally for me.

[@asianroll]

Nice catch!!

[@jonathane984]

Very impressive fish Elias. Would love to get out and chase some kings one day but I've got too many trout tournaments coming up. Maybe next year.

[@davidcrowson4745]

Wow that was awesome!

[@raffadventures8086]

Nice king and nice run!!!!

[@anthonyfoglio8749]

We had a heavy run of Kings they where in the mouth of Cape May inlet with big schools of big Spanish never seen it before in my life was a crazy year for fishing and life!!!!

[@marzlifestylesari-saristor9560]

Wow that's great boat well I hope you get a lot of fish out their brother take care.🙏🎄

[@sehj9734]

Nice video brother !

[@captrockh2055]

Good Real- I still use my Diawa Slosh 20, still works great- mostly use it surf fishing, and off the end of nags head pier.

[@HOLLYWOOD-nd2pe]

Congrats on that king 👊🏽 what a stud..😎🤙🏽

[@captrockh2055]

I have a old Slosh 20- Diawa, still going strong. Cast great- on a 12ft surf rod.

[@PeterRanieriII]

Very nice fish, what a run

[@jasl7358]

Fish dip for days yum 😋

[@davidbyers2846]

Love your videos Elias!! I fish from a Hobie outback in Florida and would love to know where you got that low drag bait bucket. I can’t seem to find one on amazon.

[@f11spikes57]

Dangg! Nice fish buddy! 👍👍👍🏅🏅🏅

[@fernandosalas8589]

That was a heck of a job multi tasking.

[@patrickproctor3462]

If you like sushi or cured fish, you can make Shime Saba. It's a vinegar+salt+seaweed brine that helps it firm up really nicely. Makes for a beautiful presentation too.

[@monkeymanstones1]

Promise kept. That was a very good fish caught. Supper for many, many, many days.

[@froggleggers1805]

What a sweet fish!

[@joco6851]

Awesome, I want to do that some day!

[@bigdawg-cl2db]

"We're gonna need a bigger bag !!!"

[@timberwolfe338]

[@agungbrewok2369]

Good job brother

[@thedavidrussellking]

nice fish man!

[@glen68326]

JESUS!!! THAT IS A BIG FISH!!

[@donkairizvlag]

Wow i love fishing.take care.newbie watching.isla

[@dizzious]

Wow nice. I got a couple of king macks in Florida last year, they were schooling right off the jetty and we were getting them on topwater lures. Have you tried trolling topwater? Might be effective.

[@Skolmann]

Caught 2 king small mackerel on my boat sailing out of Manasquan Inlet, NJ (central NJ). One trolling a Clark spoon and the other jigging.

[@usobninja14]

Earlier this year in June I believe it was, I was fishing a jetty on Long Island and saw a guy catch a 40”+ king mackerel, heard of Spanish Mack’s, bonitos and Albies in the inlets up here but never king Macks, interesting stuff this year with the super warm water I guess

[@609Fishing]

After watching all your videos, I want to move to the Carolinas 😂 😂 😂 fishing is unreal there

[@JustMike2791]

The only way I've ever had kingfish that tasted good to me was in a dip. Specifically, smoked kingfish dip. It's really, really good. Nice vid, thanks for sharing.

[@fishhubbd]

It is indeed a good one !!

[@thahuong669]

Wow,,, wow,,, nice fishing bro 👌😍🇺🇸

[@danielvillafane7267]

Really super fish bro... you’re gonna need a bigger cooler bag.!

[@harrisoncarter9187]

Awesome

[@yavuzcileli8784]

I love it son I love how you fish 👍❤️

[@thomasartson]

HOLY SHIT. what a king mac

[@otroflores91]

The black gold saltist are awesome.

[@bmc2567]

King steaks is good stuff on the grill. Lay foil down on grill, add butter and garlic. Heat almost like a brown butter and put King steaks on grill. Take off at around 140-145 and let them rest 5 min or so under a foil tent. Chow down!!

[@kuschanel5770]

Brodher Traveling to Indonesian feel the sensation of fishing🙏🙏🙏👍

[@abdulrahmansyah]

good Sir 👍..... Love Daiwa. in Indonesia it is quite expensive.

[@bendingrodsfishing6429]

Nice mac. where did u get the floating live container?

[@brentmiller7140]

Send me the link to the floating container!

[@robertjanko6709]

Beautifull fish! Greets from germany

[@Njmetsfan27]

Nice 👍🏼!!

[@nathanmorkovsky2855]

T totally awesome 🎣

[@robrorick9389]

This videos make me wish I was closer than 4 hours to the ocean.

[@christianrobeson1899]

same

[@adamsmith8533]

At least you don't live in kansas.

[@jasl7358]

You and me both bud. Four hours for me too. To Wilmington. Outer Banks more like seven

[@quick455]

It is nice, I'm about 45 minutes from everything Cape Cod has to offer but I still get jealous of the fishing grounds guys like Elias and Key West Kayak Fishing have.

[@Brizzleeeification]

Nothing like growing up and living near the ocean. I take it for granted some days. A two minute walk takes me to some of the best fishing on the east coast. I don’t think I can ever leave the Ocean.

[@sub_for_no_reason317]

OMG, I can only dream about fish of that size!

[@chadritchey1427]

You are making me want to move to NC...

[@thahuong669]

Kakakaka👌

[@djmyslinski7613]

Nice man! What do you think you were marking on your depth finder at 1:45-1:47? Any ideas?

[@Ja2808R]

From the looks of it, most likely was a mermaid or a mola mola.

[@jamesh5460]

I have always wondered about landing some of the lunkers whilst fishing a kayak. Awesome!

[@Jritchey1211]

Came for the King, stayed for the Ocarina of Time Commercial 👌

[@jasl7358]

Lucky you. I got "Joe Biden is gonna take your guns"

[@rileymatsinger8510]

In a old video I saw a place I recognized in Carolina beach. If you live in Carolina beach do u know any good fishing spots???

[@woodystemms3799]

Well worth the trip. The first run was a doozy ... . That Kingfish could turn into "Catch and Cook, and Cook, and Cook" ... maybe smoked ... can they be steaked and grilled?

[@EliasVFishing]

Me personally, smoked only way. I’ve tried grilled & fried - didn’t like it. Just wished it was spanish mack instead.

[@christianrobeson1899]

EliasVFishing think it would be good candidate for smoking and turning it into a fish dip?

[@N2theBlue1]

They aren't bad steaked and grilled with a bunch of either old bay or Cajun seasoning, but turning them into smoked fish dip is the best way to eat them

[@cortezthekiller8178]

What kayak is that? Thanks. Great stuff!

[@wakyakn9421]

Hey buddy I fish wilmington at least 2-3 times a week. Spanish are looking hefty right now. I'm looking to land a good kayak very soon. Maybe we can slash together. Tight lines dude🤙

[@mackhodges2873]

Blackened king mackerel is very good, pretty much removes all of the "fishy" taste from the meat.

[@willriley1619]

Blackened with a little brown sugar mixed in and on a charcoal grill. Excellent

[@ninjason57]

NOW you need a catch and cook video for that whopper!

[@FishinwithJake]

You should do a catch clean and cook of one

[@Halcyon1861]

Looked like around a 25 pound fish. Hit the pier sometime. Get into king fishing whichever you're closest to. I don't get down to the beach often maybe twice a year. My third king was 34 pounds. I've seen some 40s before. I've seen days where kings are skying all over. Never know out there.

[@johnnorris1227]

A short gaff definitely would of been handy but you got er done without. I think a big cobia would worry me a lot more than a big king in a kayak. Ive seen what big cobia do when they are gaffed or netted and then brought in the boat I can only imagine in a kayak especially considering you don't have a cooler to throw them in and sit on. Lol

[@Elios0000]

i want to see the Cook part that king now!

[@petersymons7817]

Nice king

[@stulupinski5131]

Omgsh intense I dont have boat and rarely have acces to kayaks so one day while dock fiahing in HHI South carolina I saw a spanish or king jump I ended up loosing 3 big macks that summer....

[@ivanvoznenko7874]

Epic catch! I'd be concerned about it thrashing after resting, and getting out of the cooler that way. Why not cut it in half - that way it would have fit entirely in the cooler. Kill first ofc.

[@sammychaffiotfishing5162]

Sickkkk

[@HamboneFishing]

Lmao the cooler stuff

[@proanswers]

if you had a commercial hook and line license you would get $2.00/2.35 a lb oct 2020 market on king mackerel.

[@vinegardoppio421]

Nice fish :) a lot bigger then the Atlantic mackerel we get here. Unless you count the tuna because we have every tuna here and the biggest in the world

[@N2theBlue1]

In the winter time we sometimes get bluefins, a couple years ago they were catching 600+ pounders in 20 feet of water off Carolina Beach Inlet.

[@vinegardoppio421]

I live in the bluefin capital of the world 1000lbs is common

[@N2theBlue1]

@@vinegardoppio421 that’s awesome, hand feeding giants off PEI is on my bucket list for sure. We don’t see many granders, but a few in the 800s have been caught the last few years.

[@vinegardoppio421]

Lol I’m in Nova Scotia it’s good here cuz it’s the only place they rest. In the bay of fundy
