I Caught a 50LB Beach MONSTER! (Be CAREFUL)

[@BeardedBrad92]

You sure that was 50? looked more like 45 to me.

[@BamaBeachBum]

You got me…

[@daniel1xx]

Haha 😄🤣 good one @beardedbrad

Nah it was 49

As one who has dealt with clinical depression some years ago, I truly empathize with what you are going through. Thankfully, I was able to work through it with a lot of help. Hang in there, Matt..I hope and pray you can put it behind you. Tight lines and God bless!

[@frmich7766]

Great video. As someone who has anxiety issues, I appreciate you bringing it to light. It is a tough road, but a road that when you travel it will make you stronger.

[@tootiefnfruity2]

Great video Matt! Keep em coming!

[@DJEDGEDALLAS]

I hope I can fish with you one day, seeing your videos daily honestly makes my day a whole lot better. Considering I live in north Texas I travel to the gulf coast around 3-5 times a year and JUST this year I've been getting more bites and more fish because of you. Thank you so much for being such an awesome person!

[@steveofw73]

Hey from Ft. Worth!!

Great video glad you posted keep them coming thanks

[@Adescendant]

Didn't know I'd be watching Mark Whalberg fishing today lol good stuff

[@luckotheirishfishingguides9737]

You are appreciated and prayed for Matt. I love your videos and hopefully one day my videos will impact people as positively as yours do! Keep fighting the good fight!

[@ltruelock2727]

Enjoyed all of your catches. I know the waves were problematic but it gave me a sense of peace. So thank you for that too.

[@comfortablynumb9342]

The waves do sound very relaxing 😎

[@ingelri2]

I learned about leatherjackets two years ago fishing out of PCB. I had never caught one before. Their spine punctures sting!

[@pauljackson3847]

Thanks for going through the gear you used, very helpful.

[@dougiemac8417]

Hey hey Matt! Always blessed to see you fresh content. Fred is always an added blessing. Ole Fred made out like a bandit today. Praying that you find resolve for your anxiety issue. I too am a fighter of clinical depression. We can win!!!

[@jarettschoeffield7536]

I love it, u r a solid dude. It's ok to not be a big reader when you are a big fisherman. It's just that u speak on real life and your beliefs and alot of people really appreciate that. Keep doing u brother. RESPECT and Support.

[@kevinmartin4787]

Thank you for showing us what you use👍

[@shawneastman9210]

Hopefully I will have some good fishing when on vacation in golf shores next year and keep up the awesome videos

[@markroper9269]

Great video! I need to move closer to the beach so I can surf fish more. Have a great day!!

[@jamesbendele9818]

Beach Bum, love the videos. Can’t wait to do some surf fishing! Thank you for sharing your journey and your faith.

[@ericglenn4644]

Great fishing video you caught really nice fish

[@jimmyjaimes5268]

Enjoyed the mix bag in the surf. Cool catches for sure . Be Safe Brother.

[@atoering]

Yes! Thank you for running through the gear that you're using!

[@scottsmo7715]

Hmmm.....Ron gets cheese balls, Brant gets buffalo balls jerky, and you get books!!!!! Lol 😂 I’d take the books any day. Love your channel!! Stay bummy my friend

[@garywarren2856]

Keep it going. Keep sharing your gift and your faith. God has presented you with a wonderful opportunity!

[@markrevelband3902]

I was just there from 20-29 August…after Fred and Grace and before Ida…we left one day early from Ft a organ due to Ida. Wading out to the second sand bar and casting to the deep blue water, I caught some huge lady fish, including one stud over 30”. PB ladyfish. We caught specks, blues, whiting , and blacktips from the surf but it was rough water all but one day. Oh, and lots of hard heads. Lots of hard heads! My SIL took a bluefish that was big for the Gulf…5-7 lbs. Love it there.

[@coltoncraciun3036]

Love fishing and love your vids

[@nathanmorkovsky2855]

Got a question on the bunny stick if you had to change one thing what would it be???

[@Everything_Andy]

Your truly a wonderful and cool dude. we all thank you for keeping it real and true if you will. been following for a few now i believe and really have related to your light'er fishing style and whipping out the "Heavier" gear once in a while. my heavy tackle is a 10ft tsunami trophy II with a tsunami shield 5000 or a penn battle 6000 with 30-40lb braid with up to 2.5 maybe 3oz lures max. I've learned i think more from you and maybe one or two other people to help tune my fishing skills to what i do today. most of the time i use a wright mcgill 8'6" and a 3500 reel with 20lb braid hi-vis to a 20-30 lb leader for light-er tackle surf fishing or for porgy, kingfish, croaker fishing and some lighter lures of about 1/2-3/4oz maybe 1 ouce lures and then the 9ft penn prevail for slightly heavier and then the 10ft setup as listed before for essentially everything else for possibly the semi larger species here in the northeast aka south east of CT. the fish here usually as you know from your cape cod trip striped bass, Blues, and similar are very large and those are the two species i target when using the 9 or 10ft. But sometimes if i want to be sporty if you will ill grab a 7ft gold cup spinning rod 7ft medium i think it is and the diawa bg 3500 and hit the beach, pier and throw the heddon saltwater spook in the about 7/8-1 ounce lure with the front two trebles taken off and cast and moderate speed just retrieve it with the occasional twitches everyso often for the blues and let say its awsome especially when its the 10lb-13 maybe 14lb blue as you have seen up here lets say its fun. But thank you for all your help and time you put in to allow us to see your life and passion for the outdoors, your family and the wonderful life and showing the positive and negative days of said fishing and other things as well. Keep up the amazing work and cant wait to see what this season may bring for you and your family as well as your channel and your company.

[@hedge7743]

You are not alone, Brother Matthew! Always fall back to your blessings. If you count them, you won't have time to worry! Much love - Hedge

[@garybauer124]

Love your videos. I recently moved to Florida, fish the beach near New Smyrna beach a lot. I really appreciate your videos. I have learned much from rod & real selection, rigs, bait. I’ve become more successful every time I go out. Loved this video, is like what I fish in most of the time, ruff surf.

[@andrewsherrill5850]

Is this fishin rod the PFS1225S106? Looked it up and found 3 different ones lol. I like using exactly what you use cause so far it has made my surf fishin catches above and beyond what it had been years prior to watching you and the rest the guys there.

[@jimhaar2700]

Awesome video, I learn every time I watch you. Can you elaborate on the diamond jigs you use? I never catch anything on them - probably my technique, but I’m willing to keep trying! Thanks.

[@YayaOrchid]

How do you tie the wire leader to power clip?

[@Fish_Shawn]

I was fishing along side you at the point this morning. always great to watch you work! keep it up my brother!

[@BamaBeachBum]

Should have said hey!

[@Fish_Shawn]

@@BamaBeachBum next time my friend! I've crossed path with you several times at this point. don't wanna fan boy out on you every time...hahaha. just know we appreciate you and I've personally learned a lot from you! enjoy the day brother!

Love your enthusiasm and your clean videos.

[@steveharrison2083]

Which point? Fort Morgan,?

[@raulsebazco9453]

Ohh so 40 braid to 80 mono to 40 lb wire. Surprised it cast so well. It is spooled up to the tip top. Do u make the mono and wire short enough so it doesn’t travel through the guides when casting?

[@delilahgrant8220]

I also got your new Bummy stick waiting to get a reel from Dusty or Chris at Sams on one of our next trips! Can’t wait to use it! It is a good looking rod. Very impressive!! Good job!!

[@BamaBeachBum]

Thanks! And they can definitely hook you up!

[@bobjoncas2814]

If you want to save some possible shoulder problems in the future and gain a few yards lead with your hips.

[@geoffcaptaincpaige1167]

Hey Matt, stay busy and distracted. It's the best way to 'get through' life's issues with anxiety and depression. You have a beautiful family in the corner, keep going out for the next round and learn to slip those punches so ya don't get hit hard in the future. Tights lines bro.😉

[@TheRonjeremys22]

Matt, where did you get those quick clips? I found a lot of different types and sizes. Which ones do you use for throwing lures? Thanks

[@traciesmith1929]

Fred for the win today👏

[@gerardcaccioppo1958]

Nice video what area do you like to fish Atlantic side of Florida or the Gulf side of Florida

I never have heard of it.

Hope and help is a very good book! Follow the steps, they work!💫

[@comfortablynumb9342]

Few things hurt more than a leather jacket fin in your finger. Their poison is as bad as a catfish. But not as bad as a stingray, trust me. That hurts for weeks.. Cool video, I hope things are working out for you. That beach reminds me of Costa Rica with the waves.. I ordered some Slam Shadies from your link the other day. Can't wait to try them!

[@the_toxicbadger2547]

Are leather jackets fins like a cat fish or are they super sharp

[@dwaynegraham2817]

Do you know it not good for the stingray when you handle them like that?

[@patrickcomack5259]

Check your B12 level; make sure it's not in low end of the range; also check your Homocysteine level, and make sure it's not elevated

[@duranpillay4221]

Are you going to be getting the new slammer 4?

[@rvvacation1862]

There yinz have it, y'all are to write a book. 🤔. Maybe titled. "Dealing With Anxiety... Fishing & Chillin' With Fred". 🙄... I know, that was really really bad. It's just I'm getting so anxious to get back to the shores of Alabama and wet some lines. Regards to Fred and 'fish on'. 'toopid me, most forgot. Good luck hitting your hundred thousand mark and with your new brand of surf rods.

[@hollymccloud2669]

Will you be on east coast at all this year

[@yonelconstant7274]

Leather jacket lol ! Never heard of them before it looks like a rubber swim bait

[@jimfullerton9211]

Great surf trip considering the conditions

[@marcdenis9374]

Hey there. I've seen some really dangerous advice here. My biggest problem is I try to stay busy and distracted but that never addresses the core issue of my anxieties. The only thing that I have found that helps me is counseling or therapy (whatever you wish to call it) and Christ... Not necessarily in that order. You are no less a Christian or a man if you admit your weakness and seek help. That's actually courageous believe it or not.

[@cosmicbonzo7559]

Them quick clips don’t stop you from catching fish? I try not to use stuff like that and directly tie when I can. If I’m anticipating catching a shark I like to use crimps and steel lead. Cool to see other people’s set ups and how they work for them. Love the content bro. God bless.

[@BamaBeachBum]

For beach side stuff it hasn’t hindered me. I’ve used them a lot this season.

[@cosmicbonzo7559]

@zackr6 I fished fresh most my life and I’m still learning what works in salt.

[@RobertHEllis]

I met my first leatherjacket using my cast net at ST George Island in 2018. Tried to just pick it up and toss it back. Not a pleasant experience.

[@frankieperrymichael7357]

Hey love the videos. Thanks for all the advice. We live in GS and love to go fishing. We are not have the best of luck yet. When did you record this was it 9/5? We had no luck this weekend except with the cats fish.

Just wondering, you're using a spinning reel why are the eyes on the rod so small like a casting rod.

[@BamaBeachBum]

It is a spinning rod. Not sure as to why the design is that way. But it casts great!

[@douglasfur3808]

I can kind of tell where you're heading when you're at the beach but not always. Have you thought of adding reading the water, just some comments of what you see, wave patterns, bait, birds and maybe edit in some graphics pointing to or outlining features?

[@ferdinandh5103]

You need a catch phrased. Lets go with "ooh yeah baby"

[@armandorjusino]

Don't underestimate the anxiety issues you are dealing with right now. They can become a real life threatening situation. You have a no idea how lucky you are to have a ton of people from all over helping you in one way or the other. Give those books a try and keep on fishing my friend.
