Fishing Camera Tossed In The Surf For 4 Days (CRAZY Footage!)

[@edquier40]

Tony, your always stunning underwater video is matched up with your smooth commentary with well thought out dialog is unmatched in your field, it is no wonder you are "The Best". Congrats my friend.

[@FishGum]

Looking forward to fishing with you Ed!

[@minutesagoedited9761]

2nd only to Beach Bomber leet af your channel is kickin'. FISHGUM is a new find for me. You educate and dont seem to be pimping a product so hard that i have to skip the video. I thank you for being on youtube, giving your time, experience, and inspiring commentary in a way that is easily understood. i've got a lot to learn, as I really want to travel and fish from the beach, piers, shore banks and basically everywhere one can walk up to and fish the ocean shores..im a Wyoming guy so the saltwater is very new to me. Its all very intriguing. I fished in the Delaware bay as a teenager...that was over 40 years ago...and it was my only saltwater fishing i've ever experienced. Thanks once again. The love of this "sport" is evident in your videos. I dig it. and your use of technology incorporated into your fishing is definitely well used/appropriate. If i were somebody i'd give you a raise, an A+, a trophy , or even a merit badge, a homemade bunt cake!!!...but i'm nobody so this 2:30 am handful of words is about all i can do and afford.. you rock bro! take care!

Congratulations, you are an excellent fisherman!👍🎣😊

Extremely entertaining, Thank you. Going fishing

[@tareqibnziyad4732]

Thanks for the very informative video. It resembles a marine research documentary. Exellent work. Thank you.

[@egomaniac247]

2 things amaze me. 1. How when we're not catching anything we assume there's not many fish out there, but this disproves that... and 2. How violent and chaotic the bottom is in the waves!

[@FishGum]

It’s wild for sure!

[@owenrm38]

THANK YOU for this amazing footage!!!!!

[@FishGum]

Your welcome

[@edwardlandry291]

Vids and commentary are superb, as always. I feel your baby cobe is a variety of remora, Ultra-slender body and round tail. Cobes are huskier, and 😂a flat caudal tail, etc. in fact the only thing going for the Cobia look alike is the paint job. Once again, look at the tail…

[@FishGum]

Thanks for the correction!

[@hottractor1999]

Wow, what a nice video! Very interesting to see and your monolog was very interesting.

[@MN-pu6qx]

I'm not big at all into fishing, but this video I found very interesting. Watching the fish pick and play with the bait I find far more interesting than watching the water's surface. 😊😊 Regarding the great cobia debate, I am going remora as they have rounded tails (3:08) whereas cobia have forked tails.

[@NYCMP1]

Someone may have said this before but that crab fight had more action than the recent Tyson fight lol. Love this footage. Been sharing it a lot. Nice going 👍

I loved the video, it was incredible to watch how pompano fish catch bait at the bottom of the sea. Congratulations! Hugs from Brazil😊.

[@FishGum]

Thank you!

[@germanengineer1.618]

Great Video dude! However, at 2:35 that is 100% a Remora.

Mullet in Black sea is named "Chefal" (pronounced Kefal) is a little darker on the back and actually comes in 3 different sizes reching 1 meter the larger specie , we catch them with sand worms , great pan fish :P romnian cuisine has a few recipes thats worth tasting

[@Vean-ql2yq]

The flounder made me starving, I want to go to the fish section of the local grocery, although they have a small selection!❤

[@MaizeANDBlue1957]

[@vagabondbasser1087]

That is definitely a Remora bro.

[@scottturner2561]

Great video!

[@FishGum]

Thanks Scott!

[@joelunchbucket]

~4:07 The tailfin shows as almost circular. This is absolutely a remora species - not cobia. Look at online images of cobia and remora the giveaway is the caudal (tail) fin.

[@WILDFLORIDA727]

that is 100% a remora

[@FishGum]

What makes you conclude that?

[@BassBashin]

Damn had to do alittle better searching on this but dude right it’s a baby cobia. It’s got the same black and white stripes as a baby cobia.

[@uncas6478]

The strip goes under the fin so it is a Remora. The Cobia strip goes above the fin. Remora has a black patch on its solid tail. Cobia has a forked tail. He is trying to mislead people in this video. Do your research because he is wrong.

[@peatmoss4415]

@@FishGum Cobia has a forked tail and a Ramora's pectoral fish point up like it has wings. Nobody has ever seen a baby Cobia..! :-)

[@PogoSprings]

Yeah, the fact that he thinks that was a remora shows you he knows very little about fishing. So obviously a large remote. Just by the tail you can tell. The pectoral fins angle up over the back of the fish, flat head. Keep in mind this guy had to edit this video and look at that fish 100 times and he still thought it was a Cobia. . . Not a serious fisherman.

[@whiskeykilmer1866]

Great video, thanks.

[@tripolarmisfit]

Mr. Faggioni, wouldn't it be better to put the camera on top, connecting your main line with your leader line, facing down in order to prevent losing your camera to a possible line cut by a blue crab or what not...? Just a thought.

[@FishGum]

I used to film that way but the whole thing helicopters when you cast it. With all the weight at the bottom and my main line is 60lb leader I haven’t lost one yet being cut off. However, I’ve lost 6 underwater cameras other ways…

[@colinprice5414]

Mate here in a Australia 🇦🇺 we catch mullet on a float and bread and in my youth we also use to jag them when they swam in schools in a narrow channel but we can’t do that anymore. Cheers 🍻for that thought I’d share that with you 🤠🎣

[@TheStormey]

Damn, I need one of those cameras, I would love to see some footage out here at Playalinda beach!

[@scottsuhre2514]

Years ago my Dad brought us fishing on the side the road in a Louisiana bayou. We kept getting nibbles and would reel in an empty hook. One of us ended up reeling in very slowly and we saw it was a crab hanging onto the bait. We transitioned from fishing to crabbing. As we got them close enough to shore, we were able to fling them out of the water, and grabed them from the ground. We ended up with about a dozen or so, plenty enough for us to enjoy a crab boil that night. It was fun!

[@germanengineer1.618]

REMORA GUARANTEED. 1. Cobia pectoral fins point out and down. 2. Remora pectoral are out and up. They are one of the only fish with upward pointing pectorals and have evolved them in this manner to stabilize and push against their host when they attach to sharks and rays. 3. Cobia tails are forked 4. Remora tails are rounded 5. Both fish are not in same classification and are not related. 6. Both fish share similar coloration. 7. Remoras do not school. 8. Cobias school together Nice video though but no baby cobia.😢

[@frostct1998]

Love your channel . . . Im taking my family to Orange Beach, AL early Nov. What do I need to catch pompano from the beach?

[@FishGum]

Pompano rigs will do it with multiple bait options

[@frostct1998]

@@FishGum I need everything, rod/reel/tackle, etc. All I have is some old zebco bass/brim rigs.

[@scottweidner1613]

We started surf fishing with 6 n a half and 7 foot inshore rods and caught some pompano whiting and even a few reds. 2 oz pyramid sinkers is about max for casting unless you have a heavy rod then a 3oz. You do have to lob when you cast and will be limited on casting distance but some whiting and reds are only 20 -30 feet off the beach just behind the wash. I tie our pomp rigs and use exclusively owner mutu circle hooks they are the only ones I've found are really sharp out of the pack. Look on KZbin if you want to learn to tie pompano rigs. Size 2 is a good all around hook. Pieces of fresh dead or frozen shrimp about a half or 3/4 inch with a small piece of fish gum or fish bites on the hook also. Just remember to keep the drag very loose when putting the rod in a sand spike so fish can take line and not pull over your spike and drag your rods into the sand. I use 20 lb power pro main line and usually 15 or 20 lb florocarbin leaders. Now most of our rods are 9 ft penn 6000 fierce combos they run around $120 n I'm sure there are other good combo packages also if you want a longer rod. If you start catching fish it is addicting we started with 2 short inshore rods and now put out a 6 rod spread of 9 and 10 footers. Good luck

[@frostct1998]

@scottweidner1613 THANK YOU Scott, that is exactly what I was looking for. I grew up on Mobile Bay/Fort Morgan Rd but it's been 30 years since I've done any fishing down there (I now live in Nashville and have a family of my own). So much has changed. As a teenager, at my parents beach house on Ft Morgan (7th mile marker, Ponce DeLeon), we used to drive our trucks on the beach, pull out a long gill net and catch everything that swam through. We would make $500 a day selling our catch to locals on the beach, of course we knew everyone down there. My guess is probably can't do that anymore . . . Man, those were the good ole days for sure ! ! !

[@scottweidner1613]

@@frostct1998 watch a few videos on how to "read the beach" to look for the pockets and holes. That'll help you find fish quicker.

[@secretbassrigs]

looks like the float is keeping the fish from taking the hook. is it also supposed to keep the small ones from getting hooked? why not just add cork or styrofoam strike indicators instead?

[@FishGum]

There’s a lot going on there, floats attract fish and do help keep the bait on the bottom of the sea floor. However, there’s more hesitation of fish taking the bait in most underwater videos because of the oddity of a black and green camera being so close to the hooks. They are spooked a little by it.

[@williambradfordbaldwin4386]

Remora? lady fish, blue crab, pompano?, flounder, stone crab?, mullet, Florida down by the Keys?, Mexico? great stuff!

[@michaeleikenberry]

Definitely Remora... look at the tail. Caugt a bunch of both. No doubt!

[@CarlosRuiz-ue9rb]

Great video but I beg to differ. That is not a cobia, it's definitely a remora.

[@FishGum]

What made you conclude that?

[@CarlosRuiz-ue9rb]

@@FishGum Cobia have a forked tail and their pectoral fins point down not up. That particular remora is actually relatively rare. They are called Slender Suckerfish. Phtheirichthys lineatus.

[@glennquagmire1747]

Yes your right,, Good call you got him !!!

[@rosskowalski6714]

Agree… great video and thanks for sharing but 110% a remora. It has a round tail fin, has no dorsal fin (they’re sometimes confused with sharks because of this and with their sharp pectoral fins), and you can even see its sucker on top at one point when it comes head and tries to grab the bait.

[@randomjackson574]

great vid

[@FishGum]

Thanks

[@allanclose4181]

You might try some smaller float beads'' above the eye '' . or no flotation at all. just bait,

[@Brandon.Keenan]

When the crabs get bad, I've been temped to make a crab lasso rig with some 100# mono and fish heads. Real easy way to catch crabs for bait or dinner

[@FishGum]

That’s a great idea, are those for casting

[@Brandon.Keenan]

​@@FishGumyes they are. Most are made with a small metal bait cage, and using 80-130lb mono making little legs coming off of the sides and top with a loop on the end. They crawl on top to get to the bait, then when you reel it in their legs get caught in the snares

[@christopherstokes9424]

Guys . Ok . I've never weighed in comments on a fishing youtube channel. I gotta call this out. There are remarkable differences between Cobia and Remora . Sure lots of fish change through sub-juvenile, juvenile and adult form . The fish in this video is " Echeneis naucrates" . The fish has a paddle tail , the dorsal and anal fins are different, the lower jaw ....it's a Remora . Look at the eye . I've got my iconic Grants Guide to Fishes right here . I've stood on a fishing boat for many years .. caught loads of both . I've seen them and caught them >

[@SteveRobertson-v7h]

could not have said it better myself ! just google pics of both that is not a Cobia

[@Russ-i1x]

Remora for sure

[@lildeena1]

I think maybe a natural-colored bait float and a longer distance between the hook and the hardware. Too many fish looking at it like they know its a trap and they aren't that desperate yet.

How are you allowed to fish with 6 poles??? My fishing license only allows for 2 per angler. It's obvious by the one beach cart, one blue chair, and no one in the background at around 0:25 to 0:35. It's obvious you don't have 2 other licensed angles with you to claim 2 poles each. You even say 'you' might be getting a bite on a pole at the opposite end at around 0:20. How can this be legally possible? Thanks for any advice you can give. I have at least 6 I'd like to use at once. I just fear the law! LOL

[@FishGum]

Florida has no such law in the area I fish. The Panhandle of Florida is unlimited to how many you can use. I don’t fish more than 4-6 at a time
