Big Striped Bass after a Bad Day on the Central Coast of California

After the SandCrab Classic was cancelled, we were left to fish low tide windy conditions. Not the ideal conditions to break in a brand new phenix trifecta light.... Then the Van Staal Had issues... Thank God we acted on our instincts because it got crazy.

So sick dude, and on that light rod! Get used to those central cal Striper, they don't seem to be leaving anytime soon!

[@Hook2Cook]

You’re in tuned with them. This has been an early and quality year! We’ve been seeing an increase that for sure. Even as far south as Ventura and into LA!

[@Hook2Cook]

The Santa Cruz Surfcaster and yes on the lighter setup! The play was insane. Really impressed with the nasci 4000 drag too

[@ronallan]

Wow! That plug got inhaled! 🏆

[@edevans1513]

Epic fight on that striper brother! Congradulations! Preserverance pays off!

[@Hook2Cook]

You're 100% right! haha your lure doesn't get bit unless it's in the water

Nice catch bro!

[@Hook2Cook]

More Than Fishing 🙌🙏

[@dartagnanv8der613]

Great job Ed! I finally got around to ordered a Calissa anticipating an escape to hit the beach soon.

[@Hook2Cook]

Sweet! Hope your great break out is a success!

[@williamhanley7031]

Thats a low high tide. Maybe thats what you want. Your lucky the swell was not up.

[@Cali_Inca]

Wow!! That’s a fish you will always remember! Tough start to the day but an amazing finish, much respect from a fellow west coast angler 🌊💯🧢

Hello good morning happy Thursday can't wait to see your fishing video my friend

Hi Ed. I met you at been there caught that. Quick question. Where's this? Between avila and calpoly pier? Guessing. Great fish.

Great guess!

[@John-tv5fh]

Nice bother is Port San luis ? I think I fished there

[@hypnosis4207]

Are you allowed to fish at the mouth of the creek like that?

[@Hook2Cook]

Haven’t really heard otherwise have you?

[@jocelynnguyen2812]

Wow! What a fish! I love how the ocean kinda landed it for you, tossing it up there with that big wave. Also...can’t believe how much has changed in a month. Had to look up the date of the Sand Crab Classic because it was giving me the heebie jeebies how close you were to everyone. And high fiving! I was doing the same back then man. Can’t wait for a vaccine so I can feel ok about hugs from friends again 😂 Anyway, another great video. Thanks!

[@Hook2Cook]

LOL yes! The sand crab classic was on March 14 which was the day after the official lockdown so not as much information was out back then as there is now. And yes! That was such a fortunate wave that brought that fishing. Pretty much automatic. We’re just super happy that they are still allowing for fishing because we have some more cool content coming very soon since they canceled Sales As mandatory which is my 9 to 5.

[@mr.striper6296]

Sick dude! When those surf smelt come in up here in the North it's almost a guaranteed hookup on stripers as well. Those surf smelt Beach themselves as they are spawning and the stripers are right in the first trough.

[@Hook2Cook]

You’re right!

[@germangomez2102]

Great job more o than ones 👍🐟

[@Exoticstepin7]

What beach?

[@edevans1513]

So are you telling us a salesman used a salesman trick on a salesman and you fell for it! Referring to the new pole and reel.... Lol.....

DOPE VIDEO BRO!!!! That striper is fucking MASSIVE! Good job & great catch!!! 😃👍🏼

[@Hook2Cook]

Insane huh!? had to really focus to bring her in...

[@RLFore]

Does the Phenix cast the Calissa farther than the Okuma Celio?

[@Hook2Cook]

Yes it does

[@RLFore]

Hook2Cook that made my decision on a new rod tougher. I need all the distance I can get

[@Hook2Cook]

The trifecta lite has been discontinued. the only place that has them is beentherecaughtthat.com if you call them. (special price for hook2cook family) Also, if you do choose that, get the 1003ML not the 1002ML

[@JA-wp7sm]

Hey Ed. Can you tell me if there’s a big difference between 9’ and 10’

[@rayvalencia6726]

Hey Ed or anyone, what's the name of the store you got the Trifecta light from?

[@Hook2Cook]

Been there caught that - in Santa Maria. Give them a call. They have 3 coming in after this video dropped. They’re putting in an order for more

[@rayvalencia6726]

Thank you!

[@gaijillahimself908]

What was the tide when you caught that awesome fish?

[@Hook2Cook]

About 2 hours after peak high tide

[@josha.6544]

Calissa or Lc. If you could only pick one ? And m rod or ml.

[@Hook2Cook]

Calissa for sure! Especially after the way this fish choked it!!

[@Hook2Cook]

Oh and ML rod! Something that casts between 1/4-3/4 oz lures

[@leofahmie1378]

Hello Eddie, What braid do you guys like to use in the surf ? lb, color, and braid manufacturer ? Thanks

[@Hook2Cook]

In this video we used a Japanese brand called majorcraft 4 strand. Love it. Normally we throw power pro 30# green

[@leofahmie1378]

@@Hook2Cook That is what I was going to buy ( power pro 30# green ) for my new reel Shimano Sedona 3000HG. Also bought a Okuma CE-S-962MLA, and the 5 pack assorted Calissa 110
