How to Catch A Shark from The Land: for Beginners

[@nickleppard]

An actual good in-depth tutorial on how to catch a shark. Well done

[@MrGS53]

This was informative, well-paced, and passionate. The topic was broken down in a way a new shark fisherman like myself can understand. Thank you from North Palm beach.

[@moblack5883]

Went saltwater fishing for the first time ever in Galveston. First cast I got a 2 ft Black tip shark. Amazing experience

[@wildlifefishingshow]

It's awesome to see and feel one, alive, up close! Tight lines!

[@kamrynhanzik7]

I caught a shark today. I came here because I wanna keep catching them.. thanks! This helped alot

[@wildlifefishingshow]

That's awesome!

Wrestled a 5' bull shark last night. So much fun!

LMAO..that's kinda of normal down here in South Florida...👍✝️💜🎣🦈🏹🛶🇺🇲

[@topwaterhits7212]

LMFAO.

[@brockwillenborg7517]

Happened to me yesterday. Fishing for bull reds and caught a 4 ft black tip. Didn't need a kayak. Just walked out to waist deep water and casted. It was annoying but fun at same time. Going for a bigger one hopefully this month.

This was very informative..thank you

[@EdsEverydayAdventures]

Best video yet. We just started fishing and we are addicted. Our first one was a 7 1/2 foot sandbar. Love how you took care of the shark, the release was great. Not dragging it everywhere. We are now tagging for NOAA. Still trying to learn to identify them. We always have the audience - we take it as an opportunity to educate if possible. I let a little girl pet the tail of a small sandbar. Her favorite animal went from a unicorn to a shark. The walking the shark back out is my favorite part. I do it for the same reason as you.

[@nsbchannel1]

Would you mind going to my KZbin channel, "SourceOne of RI" and look at the video "Caribbean Reef shark (possibly) Bethune Beach Park, New Smyrna Beach, FL May 20, 2020" and see what kind you think it might be? I thought it was a sandbar shark, then maybe a reef shark...still not sure.

[@lucasreeserlarkin8996]

I've got a penn senator from the 60s I'm getting ready to put to use near the pier in Garden a City SC from the shore. Can't beat Em! Thanks papaw. I've caught a 6 ft lemon in this same area with this rig, an older fellow helped me land and clean shark Quick. We ate like kings that night and for a while..watch, learn, and be Ready for a Fight. I couldn't fish the entire next day after that fight, My arms were noodles. This is a very good tutorial, I've learned a lot myself. Recommendation- Take a small piece of 2x4 and a hammer and hammer your entire pole or pvc down into the sand a foot to 18". It will be stronger and easier than digging.. Also this year Im taking my kayak to take my rig out. Great reminders. Gonna walk my Kayak out past the waves and hop on. Make Sure you can do this before trying it. It's not easy and takes finesse hit up the shore on a lake or even a pool and practice. He wasn't just trying to be entertaining...he's being literal. You'll hurt yourself, sink your boat, or both. Keep it up, watching from East TN.

[@Jangalang23]

Awesome video man, I'm a land-based shark fisherman as well. I love watching people catch 'em on video, while I'm stuck at the house. My wife doesn't understand but you explained our love for it perfectly. Good job, very informative.

[@newgenerationcreators6978]

Absolutely amazing video. I watched this after I went surf fishing around a month ago, and I wanted to find out what else was in the ocean. I've been fishing a lot more now, and just yesterday I went out with my dad and a friend, and we caught 2 Atlantic Sharpnose sharks. They were the first sharks that both my friend and I had ever caught and released, as the only other shark I hooked shook off the line before I could land it. Thank you for this informative video, it really helped the fishing yesterday. Tight lines, and have a great day!

[@zachb6302]

Awesome and very helpful! This video was great but the last 5 minutes really MADE the video! Much respect for a fellow fisherman that both practices and teaches catch and release - you rock!!!

[@Lord.PussPuss]

Dude, I thought I saw everything I needed from this vid and checked the comments and saw this. Sooo true the last bit is absolute fire

[@sendit7777]

Very good information. There's tons of ways of doing things, but this is a good start. I don't kayak, just cast from 3rd sandbar. Use pompano, stingray, and hard heads for bait. Circle hooks, 6 oz digger weights, 1000 lb marlin wire, 400 lb mono, 65 lb braid.

[@usmc29er44]

Been Shark fishing for many years now....This is an excellent tutorial AND Conservation Video! Great Job!

[@frontsideblunt]

I really enjoyed this video. As someone who is gearing up to start shark fishing from the beach, I greatly appreciated this video. Thank you.

[@jimj986]

Such a good job covering so many important points. Very thorough and conscious of all of the necessities of the task, safety, and responsibilities. Excellent video.

[@fishermanlad4270]

I’m a bass fisherman in Kansas so this is very far from me, but I have always loved sharks and it would be a dream to catch one

[@blakemeyer6905]

I’ve just started catching sharks on the surf and I can say that is one of the most exhilarating things I’ve ever done. Just caught a 3-3.5ft sandbar shark and am still pumped af

[@fishermanlad4270]

Blake Meyer eventually I’ll be able to travel and catch em but for now I’ll just stick to big catfish

[@bchipper3932]

I don’t think he’s correct about not being able to cast a shark rod and reel with thick line? Right?

[@jessicamoore8335]

Yay a New video always love seeing more from you 😀 being your little sister your the best at fishing 🎣 and how the tips that you use show just how much you really love fishing 🎣

[@gotemfishing2190]

This was one of the best tutorials I’ve seen in a long time.

[@walkerwilkins1060]

10/10 video. extremely informative and entertaining. Keep this up man

[@smackattack4284]

Guests visiting from the cold north love talking about being on the business end of the rod with a shark during their vacation . Use circle hooks and a good shark release tool. The skinnier the shark, the more biting range it has. Pull the tail towards you slightly when unhooking as it has to then flex the opposite way before coming towards you.

[@vision821k4]

This is an amazing video. I can't commend you enough for speaking always for safety. You are also the definition of cool, somebody who doesn't let others manipulate or change them, you know where you stand on issues because you actually took the time to educate yourself and understand them.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Much appreciated

[@hayleysligar5020]

Great work mate. One of the most in depth fishing video. Keep up the good work

[@wildlifefishingshow]

I appreciate it 🙏

[@jamie91995]

I caught my first shark a few weeks ago and everybody freaked out that there was a shark at the beach and some people even asked the lifeguard to shut the beach down. I explained to them the shark is probably cranky and wants to go back home and doesn’t want anything to deal with people.

[@Dman9fp]

Hah that's like shutting down a road because there's fast cars that can cause death. Vast majority of sharks don't eat any more than normal fish of similar size (I know, surprised me too, but research confirmed it) & might only nibble ya if curious enough. Only tiger, bull, and white sharks can be fatal and maybe great hammer perhaps

[@vladimirputin2234]

@@Dman9fp Any shark attack can be fatal if it's big enough

[@ezzih0514]

Probably the best videos for fishing and with great explanations! Learned so much! Keep calm and keep FISHING!

[@calgrissom9181]

Enjoy your videos man. I have the same passion for shark fishing as yourself. I haven't got to do any shark fishing for years do to moving away from the gulf of Mexico several years ago but in my day it was the fish I enjoyed the most. When other fisherman would curse you for catching sharks I always felt it was a pinnacle fishing to catch from the beach when casting from the surf. I also agree with you that there is no fish that will stop and gather a crowd of people who will ask questions and become interested in a fish.

[@christophervargas1784]

Awesome video thanks for all the safety tips......think this is one of the best videos that deals with the safety of the people and the animals we are fishing.....

Thank you Tom Cruise, good video

[@ToddFinkle]

That’s what I’m saying😭😭

[@TheCrunchbird]

Thank you for a great and informative video. A week ago I was surf fishing for pompano on Amelia Island Florida. I was using a standard pompano rig baited with shrimp and fish gum. A while after catching a couple of keeper pompano and a few whiting I hooked into a bonnethead shark about four feet long. I got it in and released it straight away. The moral of the story is that sharks often come in very close to shore and will eat anything they find. Shrimp and fish gum is obviously not a standard shark bait.

[@jeezyram09]

This was a bad ass video. From the actual demonstration of bites and even the logic of to release

Best and most informative shark fishing video around. Thank you

Thanks! It's become a bit outdated with drones largely replacing kayaks, but that just means it's time for part two.

I really enjoyed this video and the message you delivered. I am a Bass fisherman but when I get down to the Destin area I love to get a line in the water. Never caught a shark but would love to one day. Great stuff!

[@VG-913]

Caught a 30" finetooth shark in Port Canaveral Florida my first time out and a 26" finetooth the second time out..... my gf caught a 30" finetooth and a 32" scalloped hammerhead. Now I can't wait to catch more. Little guys but still fun especially for the first two outings.

[@captainadventures]

[@devlinmiller254]

I always thought what I would say when someone asked to keep a fish that I caught Even a small fish. And you truly just helped me out. Because I would absolutely never kill a fish for any reason whats so ever. Anyway I absolutely enjoyed watching you Video. And thank u for not being cocky and arrogant like 95% of the other peoples videos. I learned more watching your video than 6 months of watching other video after video. Thanks.

[@captaincrunch8464]

Here’s a good tip if your fishing where there’s whiting they make great bait hook em through the top fin cut the tail off and fast it out alive it will try to swim and shake its tail back and forth releasing blood. They just can’t resist the live injured whiting

I get that to when u catch any fish in the ocean the whole beach shows up and gets in your way and have to see what u catch. I’m catch and release every fish. And been in situations where I almost fought a dude that wanted all the trout and bluefish that I catch. It does get annoying.

You should go on a party boat and go catch some snapper this season also try to target other fish meanwhile on the trip if you go.

[@Fishing_With_Essex]

great tutorial 👍, the only thing I would add would be to use a DIY rod holder with some actual thick pvc instead of those cheap thin ones you get in tackle stores. If you make your own with some legit, thick pvc it will work as good as a metal one

[@andy374]

The unwanted crowd that always develops for this type of catch is usually a mix of drunk adults, photo chasers, & kids that often get too close. Do not get distracted by their questions. For your safety & theirs remind them to stay back as most are barefoot around your gear. Especially during critical 10 second hook removal process cause they either want to see mouth/teeth or feel comfortable mimicing your proximity which hinders the release. Go straight for the bolt cutters to reduce hazard & return it asap so they disperse.
