No fish were harmed in the making of this video.

[@nicoibzschalin-hr4bj]

Thats cold, dude.😁

[@AnthonyJohnson-vm5ld]

@@BeardedBrad92 what is a good rod for a spinfisher 10500 for sharks tho

[@brianbajalia7329]

@AnglerUpTv well actually 1 did in 15 hours. That equals .06 fish an hour. Looking at it from the number aspect I guess your right. Lol

[@stevenadan7372]

Really appreciate you going over the rods and reels your using, and yes get that Van Stall for the custom rod it would be a sick combo

[@markbrown7544]

Hey Brad! This is Mark, I met you at the perdido jetties last month and caught a big black tip shark with you and your son during your family photo shoot. Love the video and the update on what you’re catching or not catching each day of the week. That really helps on What expectations to have when I come down from TN. Go Big Orange!

[@garywarren2856]

GO BIG ORANGE!

[@mykehillingdon]

This video demonstrates why it’s called “fishing” and not “shopping”. Great job Brad!

[@gekco66]

we all hate being on the struggle bus, but i actually appreciate this video as it does show the truth behind fishing.

[@robertmatern4916]

My 2nd oldest son and family were down last week. Took him out on the boat under 3 mile bridge and he caught a 40 plus Black Drum bridge monster. It was great seeing the look on his face. He was happy.

[@ChrisinOSMS]

Nice! I grew up in Pensacola, delivered Auto Trader magazines throughout Baldwin County for a summer job, graduated from South, and currently live in Ocean Springs. You are the first person I've heard refer to Lower Alabama as the panhandle of Alabama. Go Jags!

[@michaelforbus9327]

Brad great job of just being yourself. That is why I got all you guys on subscribe at BBO. We don’t kill it every day it’s just life.

[@pwrplnt1975]

No, Brad, it's called CLICK BAIT...lol!

[@williambenner701]

How is it Click Bait?

[@wlg2367]

Hope the Bama Beach Bum Outdoors is doing well for you three guys. With fishing as a hobby it is easy for me to say that a bad day at fishing beats any day at work. If fishing is your work duh what can you say? Haha.

[@stevenherrmann3051]

I just talked to you at BBO about 6 hours ago. I was down there for 4 days and had about a dozen whiting, 1 Spanish Mackerel,1 bluefish and way too many hard heads during that time. It was great talking to you today and knowing that I wasn't the only one struggling. Keep up the great work.

[@ericgold3153]

Felt the struggle in Tampa today. Had 4hours kid free this afternoon and hit a few spots. Didn’t get so much as a nibble. Had a set rig with fish bites (didn’t expect much), and I was throwing 3,4,5” shady’s, gotcha plugs, xraps, and even tried some pomp jigs. NOTHING. I blame the jetskis and holiday traffic. Some days it be like that, hope it’s a better one next time man, tight lines!

[@michaelsingleton8574]

Talk about dedication! Man do I salute you for digging in and STILL giving us content. Thank you for all your hard work.

[@Saltygoldsmith]

I appreciate the failure videos as well as the successful ones. Only been shore fishing for a year, but I watch these videos to learn, occasionally recipes, and it's nice to know that much more experienced salt water fishers are also human and sometimes just can't get fish to bite.

[@mikedwyer3122]

Yea it can really be tough sometimes when it comes to fishing. It's good to see a video like this.

[@chriscurwood3208]

Take the jib off the end of the bubble rig and replace it with a McDonalds straw and treble hook. Cut the straw to about 3-4" slide the leader through the straw and tie on the treble. Cast and just rip the bubble across the top. It acts like a mini cuda tube and the Spanish love it!

[@DNice337]

Great video Brad, nice meeting you at the pier Wednesday morning. I was in Gulf Shores for the week and had no luck on the beach nor the pier.

[@jamessheline375]

That's how my weekend was, One small pomp Saturday and cat on Sunday. Was out about 7 hours both days. But that's fishing.

[@peggyh8937]

Great video, Brad. I appreciate the reality. There are going to be days of catching nothing. That's the sport. I'm here for the good days and the bad. Have fun at the store tomorrow.

[@markybob_bassplaya1462]

GO VOLS! Fishing tough up here in Big Orange Country as well. Switching tactics, night fishing and early mornings only. Keep on Keeping on.

[@leolad23]

Great video Brad. While I'm always thankful to catch fish....this video is a perfect reminder that fishing is hard and to enjoy each and every hook up.

[@duaneates2590]

Great video! I fish a lot of the same areas that that you, Matt, and Brant fish and lately have had the same results. I did get a nice slot redfish last weekend though! Keep up the great content!.

[@salteastsimon]

The biggest thing is to keep on going . Even when the bite is slow check the bait constantly, dont slack up. its hard to do. I hate the struggle days but it makes the EPIC days even BETTER! you can not do bad every trip so eventually you will hit the right spot.

[@BeardedBrad92]

You got that right!

[@tntoutdoors_]

Man it’s not just fishing it’s life !!! 🧨🧨🧨

[@donaldhaire1502]

Always good to see your videos catching or not but stick with it and stay cool this week

[@westrenee1398]

Brad. We all have those days. I have been fishing NC & SC for over 3 decades! My wife and I have spent more days fishing than catching! On the days we do, it's amazing! That's why we love it so much and keep going back! Hang in there. The struggle is real! But in the end, it will pay off!!!

[@CaptCollier]

Gotta Come on over to the west side of the bay Big B! I hate to hear your on the struggle bus. the full moon and 90degree water temps definitely don’t make it easy.

[@zacharydees3564]

That's why it's called fishing and not catching! Love watching your stuff and anyone who fishes knows it happens to the best of us. Tight lines are in the future, best of luck to ya man!

[@josephcangelosijr.8492]

Brad, there are some out there that think you catch fish all the time, but it was awesome watching a video where you don't, That is why it's called fishing. It is a relaxing sport to people like us. And a learning experience. Great video 😊 That could be a great idea for the future podcast with you guys. I bet it will get great reviews.

[@lloydhill9150]

It's not a relaxing sport, it's bloody frustrating as all hell because you can't catch the bloody things and you get snagged , loose your gear, bird nesting a reel don't get me started but when you go home you feel all calm and relaxed because you took out all your frustrations on the fkn fish.

[@jonb5682]

I did stop in your store in Gulf Shores and picked up some tackle and lures. Nice store, great easy access location.

[@jackpot848]

Hey Brad, great vid! I watch everything all four of you guys put up (the usual suspects). I love when you guys kinda explain your gear a bit. Some of us are enthusiastic about fishing but lacking skills. These help! Also, never quit the catch and cooks. At least for me it adds a huge entertainment value. I wouldn't have a prayer fishing against any of you guys but I'm pretty sure I could out-cook the lot of you. Well. maybe not Brant's wife but I would make toast outta the rest of y'all..LOL

[@Bamapride1000]

I used to reel a bubble rig as fast as I possibly could with a silver spoon with a single hook, not the treble hook. The only issue was it pretty much killed every fish we caught because it tore most of the gills out. The good thing is they were bled out good.

[@mouradchahine1960]

Thanks for doing this video, I needed that. I’ve been going fishing at Perdido Beach , caught two hard tail using Xtrap lure that you guys recommended.It’s been really hot especially early in the morning, I go fishing at 5:45 by 6:15 it’s been scorching hot that might affect fishing. Thanks for your videos, either catching or not. Always enjoy your videos. Have a safe 4Th of July weekend, I’m working holiday weekend and week. Hope you’ll have a great turn out. Good luck and bless everyone!!

[@danver1971]

It's rough right now. I went and fished Galveston over the weekend. Caught a couple undersized male specks and a tiny mangrove. Oh, and a few gaffs as usual. Definitely in a seat on that same struggle bus.

[@peterhart5312]

TBH this was really encouraging to hear. Thanks man and keep it up.

[@ThrilloftheGills]

We all feel this struggle, I know the past couple of months have been a challenge for me when it comes to fishing. The best thing to do is always be positive and never stop fishing 🤙🏻

[@BeardedBrad92]

Absolutely!

[@joeyhelton7114]

Great video Brad. Good to know we all struggle.

[@jonb5682]

I was visiting Okaloosa and Navarre piers during week of July 2nd. Very few fish caught. Did see the Tiger sharks and dolphins.

[@nicoibzschalin-hr4bj]

When i watch a fishing youtuber i know as a fisherman, you dint always catch one, its the fishing it self that counts. If the youtuber adds tips, tricks and maybe some gear suggestions i am a happy camper.

[@madisontarver3672]

king of the pier, telling everybody how to fish and what to do 😆

[@jonsolomon4814]

That’s why they call it fishing and not catching! LOL 😂 enjoy the videos keep um coming! GBO 🍊😂

[@wcraiderevo8078]

1991, on the Firehole River in Yellowstone NP, blue damsels were hatching off, 20 ft visibility in crystal clear water, 1 to 3 ft trout coming out of the water to eat, not one fly out of the hundred in the fly box looked anything like a blue damsel...didn't catch a thing. Know those days well.

[@lynnwarren6127]

Sorry it wasn’t a great fishing day but this was good to share that some days are better than others and to not give up.

[@timlloyd1454]

I been struggling this year also just been kind of a weird weather year here in Ohio only got to go saltwater fishing once off the Chesapeake bay bridge and it was a good time but i only had fresh water rods as i tend to target catfish seen fish on your vids i never heard of before so im REALLY wanting to get another chance to go salt water fishing again but only got fresh water gear😂😂

[@aaronm.8429]

I feel your pain. I was out on the reef off 30A last Sunday and had 3 big hook ups, but got broken off on structure. I was out on the reefs off Henderson State beach yesterday and didn't get one bite. Its been a struggle to catch a snapper or even a King this year. I'm going to try the reefs off 30A again this week otherwise I'll make the trek out to Navarre beach and try my luck out there. I enjoy your channel. Keep the content coming.

[@stevenmcadams6621]

Great vid. I think it’s awesome that you show how tough the fishing can really be. Especially now that the water is getting warmer. Makes it even tougher. Definitely go with the Van Staal. You won’t be disappointed. 👍🏻🤙🏻

[@brandonrice4904]

Just take the boat out to fort morgan and put in. Got to the last gas rig due south. Tons of spanish and good kings. We were casting gotcha lures saturday and caught some good ones. Just had stopped to catch live bait and loaded up on some good spanish too.

[@tg1cent765]

Thank you for keeping it real! 👍

[@yancyjrriche4395]

Tsunami salt X that's one awesome reel you would be surprised

[@davehendricks4824]

Wow Brad, a normal days fishing video! Everybody sees videos with one fish after another. That ain’t normal!

[@saleen12]

Try a Clarke spoon 00 behind the bubble rig. Everything will eat it including monster jacks

[@garywarren2856]

Great videos. Where are my grandkids?!

[@ferdinandh5103]

Glad you like that bubble rig I made. Yes it's hot glue.

[@darrickissinger3932]

No fish just feelings hurt, for sure I'm huge steelhead angler. And man o man do I know the long days with no luck feeling

[@cheesegrits196]

Great to see yall at the store the other day!

[@17losttrout]

No worries. That's fishing!

[@aeboarderus]

Fished for hours on the beach here in SC and got skunked all day, tough day but tried for a few hours

[@Eric-ib4sw]

Hey Brad! Love the chanel! I am a fairly new subscriber so was curious if you ever fish Rockport or port aransas texas? Loving your videos! Thanks

[@aaronsfishingadventures1111]

Hope all is well Brad. I’ll be back down in September for another fishing trip. Hope we get to see you again. Take care.

[@Fishing4Reel]

Now I realize, I have tons of fishless footage I should have been using. Seriously, there is almost always something to learn and enjoy from even fishless footage. Maybe a pretend catch and real cook is a possibility?👍

[@alandaniel1082]

We all have good and bad you have a better average than me. Look forward to your next video.

[@martyadams3915]

Sometimes the perfect outdoors life can be a little tough to live. It just reminds you that perfection is what you make of it. Such as instead of having that mindset of it being a grind look at it from the prospective of a 14 year old boy, whereas we know at 14 boys basically go to war against fish and game in an effort to prove themselves. Do something crazy that even may seem wrong. It may not get you a fish but it will get you a video and most likely a video that will do good.

[@JohnBruininks]

and it's been seemingly hovering around a 100F heat index most everyday too

[@justinM88]

I always look at it fish 🐟 or not its always a great day to be at the peir and beach.

[@earngheng2004]

I fish almost every day, but usually catch fish when not filming

[@madisontarver3672]

you need another sticker for your truck 🤣

[@chuckmurphy3058]

Been slow off the Panama city piers too. Get the van stall ..

[@wadeirwin7003]

I haven’t caught a fish in weeks but I’m limited to beach fishing only.

[@agould53]

Saw a guy catch a humongous tarpon in Destin a few weeks ago.

[@andreollivierre9925]

I haven't caught a fish for past 3 months here in the Caribbean.

[@ColsenTaylorFishing]

Sick video! Was at beach bum outdoors the other day, very impressive!

[@BeardedBrad92]

Thank you!

[@eddiepearce5307]

I feel your pain! I been there on that pier and seen practically nothing caught all day. And that was when there was a whole PIER!! not the pathetic half pier they charge $9 for now.

[@GringoLoco1]

It's called fishing not catching for a reason. Tight lines soon amigo 👊🏻

[@JD-mv8tl]

Brad on the first rod setup you said you had 50 pound braid and 10 pound liter (is it monofilament or floracarbon)? The second you said 30 pound braid is all your liters monofilament or floracarbon. Which is best to use as a liter

[@fearmyglock_Valorant]

you should definitely get a van staal vsx 200 is your best option

[@edwarddiviney5226]

I literally caught hundreds of Spanish and Blues on a bubble rig with a treble hook and 3" of McDonald's plastic drink straw, red, yellow and white. Okaloosa County.

[@waterassassinfishingbuilds6122]

I had a Van Staal VR and I didn’t like it but I didn’t spend the 1000 dollars for a VS. I just got a Daiwa Saltist MQ 5000DH and I love it!! I know they aren’t even close in price but for the money I’ll stick with the Saltist MQ.

[@danieldetrick1230]

Brad, you're just a real fisherman like the rest of us , and that's why it's called fishing 🎣 and not catching. Lol 😆 😆

[@sweetpea8091]

Better fishing days will happen...🐟🐟🐟

[@mattokeefe691]

Thanks Brad. How’s the new store?

[@tlsmoke23]

At least you went fishing.

[@Alsaltyadventures]

It’s been a huge struggle, and here I thought it was just me.

[@markmcfadden6073]

The struggle is real, I get it! When is the Juno trip?

[@stephenwalker361]

i have a van staal vsx 250 and its been good to me

[@arcordero2002]

I keep telling you... you wanna catch a big big tarpon... come visit me in Puerto Rico...

[@northface484]

Someone give that Kid a Beer....!!!!

[@trapshooter592]

I just got to talk to you at the pear a day or two ago

[@rickemily7075]

I have a vanstal but I like my daiwa saltist much better. I have a few penn reels and once I started using the saltist, the rest were no longer interesting to me.

[@chickendlablo6502]

When all else fails on the pier - break out the Sabiki rig

[@JohnBruininks]

TRUTH.

[@reidsorensen4634]

Will they ever fix that pier?

[@BeardedBrad92]

Suppose to start in November. I’ll believe it when I see it

[@troynewnan5563]

Better go with Brent, he show you the way ..haha

[@marciopdm]

Hey Brad, what is the specs on the Frisky Fin custom rod? and the specs of Brent's custom rod too? .... I have a Slammer 6500 with 40 lb braid that I want to pair with a heavy rod but fast action .... can you help me? tks man

[@ericcorse]

Have you thought about a Penn Authority reel.

[@buzzlaroux3586]

welcome to my luck dude

[@ryderfishing1322]

Get a van staal 250 or a Stella 10k

[@acuanstrike]

Mantap trip boskuu

[@steveokoren4059]

Brad, are you interested in fishing Jupiter inshore waters with me?

[@LiveOakLiving]

I’m a Slammer guy. I say slammer 6500 for your new rod.

[@gregorygarrett1213]

I have seen you in a lot of videos with different guys and obviously your own. This current video intro you look different. You doing ok? Clothes hanging off you.
