[@BenjieKimFishing]

Thank you for this awesome comment, hopefully folks can see this and know that it's a shop worth visiting. Tight lines!!

[@wanderingox]

Always a good time with you guys! Thanks for having me out to film this! Always so much knowledge and amazing to meet everyone in the industry. Keep it up brother!

[@BenjieKimFishing]

These vids would be in shambles without the generous and humble guy in the background doing all the hard work. Thank you so much Alan, grateful for your friendship.

[@DouglasTilk]

Hey Benjie. Was at Island fishing tackle scored your Island tackle box. Just getting back to salt water fishing. Leaving bassboat at home and returning to a little salt water fishing. Thanks to you and Sam. Doug Tilk . 65yr old fisherman.

[@BenjieKimFishing]

Hi Douglas!! Thank you so much for sharing this, REALLY stoked that you were able to get the box and get out to Island Tackle, I messaged Sam this comment and he sent me a photo with you and the goods. I hope you make good use of it and catch some new memories!! Tight lines!!

[@ryankutzbach9142]

Most informative videos on KZbin for novice anglers! Much appreciated guys!

[@BenjieKimFishing]

Very humbled by this comment, thank you so much. Wishing you a terrific start to the week and hopefully some big fish to go with it!

[@hellomcfly2438]

Anthony good to see you on here you were always the best I've learned a lot from you God bless brother 🐟

[@addicted2fishing119]

Perfect timing, I’m going to SCI Sunday

[@BenjieKimFishing]

Sick!!! I hope you guys can find some hungry and angry yellows!!

[@sifakuahuia8576]

Going out on the Pride for a 1.75 trip for WSB, yellowtail and Halibut at the islands. This is exactly what I needed to see. Thank you Benji, Anthony and of course Sam. Never stop the content.

[@davidkanagawa6376]

This video was was extremely helpful for me. For someone who is new to the game, I've been struggling with what to bring to the island. This video provides basic information that I can use to make a more informative decision when buying tackle for the island.

[@BenjieKimFishing]

Love this comment, this is exactly why we make these types of videos. And you hit the nail on the head...we will never tell you how you have to do it, we will merely share what we recommend and has worked for us...and folks can use that as a framework to figure out what's best for them. Tight lines!

[@CalicoChris]

What a good one Benjie. You got Sam the Man. You guys know what your talking about. Keep up the real news

[@BenjieKimFishing]

Thank you Chris, yes Sam is awesome, it was my first time in the shop and meeting him and he is awesome!

[@Tony67032]

good to see you guys found a new home, " Island Fishing Tackle" Give Sam a chance to pitch in on his knowledge too😁

[@BenjieKimFishing]

Yea absolutely....the raw footage came out to like 45 minutes, unfortunately I made the tough decision of cutting out chunks that I didn't want to cut as I try to typically keep these vids to 15 to 20. I've got part 2 coming up though and Sam does get much more time to share. Thank you for this comment, really appreciate it.

[@gayeelau7830]

Another great video and happy you are covering island fishing. Also never thought I would see Anthony in a polo. lol. Super close in joining you guys on the rail tomorrow. Good luck.

[@BenjieKimFishing]

Gayee!!! Dude it would've been so fun to have you bro but maybe the next one! Hope you're well and taking care of yourself with how busy you are at work. Please shoot Alan in the butt the next time you guys airsoft lol!

[@marcomunoz7453]

Let’s goooooo! Been so excited for this video to drop.

[@BenjieKimFishing]

Thanks for your patience Marco, I know you've been waiting for this. Can't wait to share the rail with ya man!!!

[@rickl2633]

Great video! Thanks for the wealth of knowledge. I had Island Tackle wrap a custom Seeker rod for me, and they did a fantastic job. I am a big fan of Sam and this channel. I am heading to Catalina in 9 days, so this is a timely video.

[@BenjieKimFishing]

Yes, Island Tackle is a fantastic shop and loaded with so many great options. Wishing you a trip of a lifetime!

[@tamalpias]

I bought stuff from Sam at island tackle before. Great guy to deal with and makes transactions so smooth. Love the store and I live in the SF Bay Area! Definitely a shop worth visiting.

[@BenjieKimFishing]

Amazing testimonial, thank you for sharing this. Sam is terrific and I am grateful to have had the chance to visit his store and share some time with him.

[@jtuck682]

Benjie, it's also to see you! Couldn't be a better video since you have Antony and Sam with you.I just got in from picking up a Tesoro 12 and a PCH-C-761XH from another local tackle shop. I have a trip planned for July, so I'll definitely stop in to see Sam before that.

[@BenjieKimFishing]

Oh wow, that's a terrific setup!! We believe in supporting your local shop no matter where but hopefully this can help specific shops as we continue to film and check out various places. So many great shops with hardworking folks that want to help and support our love for fishing!

My boy Anthony 👋 👋 wsup east coast!!!! GTSY

[@BenjieKimFishing]

Anthony's the man, thanks for checking in!

[@hellomcfly2438]

Angry yellow tail,,,,sounds like my wife 🤪

[@Diamondthefisherman]

Great video!!!

[@BenjieKimFishing]

Much appreciated, thank you!

[@Ben_Ben1218]

do you think a size 10 reel paired with a 7ft MED HVY #30-#60 line rating. with 50 pound braid main and 25 pound floruorcarbon top shot would work for fly line? it would be for fly lining yellow tail, bonito, and calicos. and possible use for rock fishing.

[@JarradSager]

Hey I was wondering how a fishing syndicate 20-40lb 8ft rod with a lexa 400 or a low profile penn fathom would work in the islands? And is that big enough set up if you do end up hooking into a 50lb bluefin?

[@dhouse3028]

You need to put a fishing trip together for followers...Would be a lot of fun...

[@bajadan2769]

I cant get used to seeing baitcasting reels on a sport fishing boat

[@ham5765]
