[@rodashford1151]

I'm surprised you don't use ghost crabs for black drum

[@nathansonnen9407]

@ThresherFishing just moved back to corpus. Got a couple boats. Lets go catch something.

[@rolandsalinas5991]

Bro, what drone do you have for these epic videos?

[@8mooshie]

Oh my Goodness!!! I just love your excitement!!! I'm 63 years old, have had 3 bouts of cancer but man you make me smile....I check your site everyday hoping for my"thersherfishing fix" video...p;ease don't stop. I had many wonderful summers with my family in Rockport and watching you reminds me of that wonderful place, the coast! Luv ya

[@daviddura1172]

something magical about that moment when the sun gets cut in half by the horizon........salt or fresh water........

[@slayin_legends_with_steven6694]

David Dura a beautiful thing

[@TheFishingMommy]

That’s a ridiculous black drum! Definitely the biggest one I’ve seen. Looks like a really fun trip. And BTW I think you did a really great job of promoting Fishbrain in a genuine way. It’s not that widely used here in NY where I live but I have used it more when I travel and it’s been helpful.

[@strongkid5889]

Hey that’s me at 1:17!🤯

[@RedfishHunter]

Hey Thresher nice jack crevalle pic what a giant. You that short or is the jack that big?

[@ThresherFishing]

looool

[@KS-vs7ht]

I'm just glad cooper isn't getting you lost in the fog. Congrats to both of your channels

[@haydenivey3711]

“Goin for some big ol gafftop!” Haha

[@ThresherFishing]

Hey come the CCA tournament it wouldn't be a bad idea.

[@trhenryvlogs9638]

ThresherFishing and they put up a heck of a fight.

[@quantumaquatic1767]

TWO VIDS NOT FAR FROM EACHOTHER? WHAT IS THIS SOCERY I NEED MOREEEEE

[@tigershark812]

Do it OG style where you have to catch your own bait to catch the fish, that's how I do it in sunny South Africa!😎🎣🎣🎣Tight lines and screaming drags

[@brunoaragon3290]

Vacation has been approved for the end of March and I can't wait to hit the Gulf coast!!! Monster drum, I thought your line was going to snap!!!

[@ThresherFishing]

Hell yeah have fun

[@alejandropena5187]

You can never go wrong with some thresherfishing content!

[@JuanTrout]

We are going for "gaff top" had me laughing. That's all I catch... :-)

[@randomblackdudee]

Never fails when your baits missing and your line is dripping in slime😂

[@joeanthony9162]

One of your best ones yet Thresher!!! Super bad ass video brother!!! Tight lines never stop! !!!

[@pauloricardosouza977]

Man, your channel is very nice. I am fisher in Brazil too. Congratulations!

[@dennis4077]

Great job...heavy fish!! Keep the videos coming... It's a pleasure to watch you catch the Fish!!

[@Oldsport216]

Coop your videos are always fresh man that's what sets u apart. Never the same old thing thanks alot for keeping us entertained

[@mattgarland1776]

Love the videos coop but you gotta post them more often I always love them but wish there were more

[@zaigar111]

Nice black drum, bro!! My PB for black drum was 47" caught by Holiday Beach(Goose Island) a few years back. Thing had to have been 50 lbs!! It was a blast catching it!!

[@martinhowerton9038]

My wife just asked what the heck are you watching in there?? All she can here is you saying his head is so huge and me going oh my God!! That was a true beast Coop! Nice to see you doing some bait fishing in the bay occasionally!

[@astrogamingnfishing8294]

It’s always a good day when threasherfishing uploads a video!

[@jakelawrie1006]

double up while the sun is setting. that's a good day on the water

[@recordquest7988]

Dude, I loved the bait fishing! I fish that way alot and it can be a hassle. But, nothing compares to seeing that rod doubled over screaming drag...I love it!

[@jasoncole6192]

As always, awesome video bro!!! Do it again with whole crab.

[@wolfecouch8288]

You threw me WAY off when you said gaphtop. Black drum was my first guess, lol.

[@adrianapodaca4029]

Nice catch bro!!!!!! Keep up the good work 👍

[@Texarican1]

That was one of you best vids. Loved how you utilized multiple poles on your rig. That last clip phenomenal. Keep up that awesome job.

[@markgutierrez7000]

Bro, that was awesome video. And you showed the true potential of a small rod and reel. With good line and a good hook and good knot

[@moiraini]

Your filming is getting SO GOOD!!! I haven't seen enough love for all the effort you put into your edits and the quality of your gear. Consider me enamored!

[@bltedder]

I love these videos and your willingness to try some crazy stuff to go for big fish. Can't wait for the fresh whole crab video!

[@marthalanier5677]

Hey! I would like to ask your mom if I can adopt you!! I love to fish and I love to watch your vids when I can't get out, My husband is not well and I can't leave him for long, Keep fishing you bring joy to others!

[@TheGoodeLifeOutdoors]

Nice fishes! 😁 Great job on the Fishbrain partnership. Great platform!

[@eliii4872]

Thresher+Mantis Shrimp, such an iconic duo 🤣😤

[@SonRiseforNathaniel]

Great vid Coop!! Much love from FL. My son pulled in a beast like that. I got so excited I forgot what a rod was called....kept saying "keep your stick up" hahah

[@adamgarcia4204]

Getting me all pumped up catching that big ugly. Nice video and enjoyed hearing your excitement when you caught the black drum.

[@YakinwithJack]

Some big ole GAFFTOP 😂😂😂

[@jakewkayakfishing8457]

Gotta love those last minute bites at sunset. Use the whole crab👍

[@ThresherFishing]

Yeah that was awesome. good timing.

[@jameshicks9029]

Hell yea bro small fresh blue crab is where it's at! Keep slaying them! There's nothing like catching a big fish on light tackle!

[@trhenryvlogs9638]

Wow I’ve never seen Mantis shrimp ideas as bait before in the gulf nice video man, and yeah I usually use half a crab and it does well but the meat gets taken away so quick because of other crabs and little fish. Thinking about using a whole one next time I go out.

[@Sonytherealtor]

Water looked deep from the video, then you just plopped right in lol

[@williamcox1336]

Really like the HD quality of your video also the shots and commentary are smoothe and happy really like your videos :)

[@CalixaCal]

Man, you're a Pro! You got yourself a new subscriber here from Philippines.

[@bitefishing]

Coop coming through dual wielding...badass brother. That was a beastly drum for sure. If you hadn't been anchored that would have been a hell of a fight. Why not try a whole crab? You can still do one or two smaller baits, but have the monster line on deck as well. You may need a way to reel in the small baits if you hook up though. Clearing the lines will be crucial. Been watching since the bridge days, it's been a fun ride so far. Thanks.

[@djbigmonay]

Thanks Thresh!! That Big Rod is Drippin' Mane!!!

[@ridingsupreme777]

Dude you were so right about stepping into the water hahaha. I would love to see you fight a thresher bro!

[@Specialized61]

Always makes me happy to see you release them.

[@bradwadefishtx]

The new camera angle on your line was cool man. Looking forward to seeing more of that. That black drum was a beast, nice catch.

[@cheddarz9072]

You are the best KZbinr, keep up the great work dude!

[@josiahhill4993]

you got skills man. don't know how you manage all that equipment at the same time by yourself.

[@nsanefishing]

When you called yourself Weak I was rolling 😂. Awesome video bro

[@patrickriddlem9130]

Love to see more video from the camera attached to the line.

[@garyduarte]

I remember those good'ole days of hardy boys... way to go bro

[@minimumbetsmalltimer597]

You were wearing waiters in boat which scared me people around oregon have drowned due to slipping and having waiters go up and head go down. But that was a beautiful catch I'm subbing right now

[@homiedeehomiedee9963]

Looks like your loving that boat !!

[@edgarbaring420]

Good vid. Coop I was at port a last weekend and caught a 40 in. Black drum it weighed about 35 lbs. Shout out from san antonio

[@bronson16]

My goodness that Black Drum was big! For sure you should go back out with whole fresh Blue Crab!

[@surreal75yt32]

Ya. Cooper!!! Run it back with full crab. Just chop the legs and make it like a square chunk. And bro, they do come in super shallow. I've seen them running in about 2-3 ft of water. Also around the south jetties, packery, right in the middle of the paved parking lot. I've seen them run real close to the edge.

[@311bum07]

love your videos man. And yes run it back with the fresh crab. Some people I was fishing next to the other day got some crab from there too and it was real bad.

[@Karatosa]

That was a beast, good job enjoyed watching.👍

[@Mobigga]

I have been using crab. cought 4 big uglys all over 34 inches. so much fun to catch! I never keep them though.

[@jairoidr]

boy o boy do i miss texas fishing right now, greetings from Turkey my man keep up the good vides. TEXAS BLACK DRUM HUNTER haahaha

[@michaelgarrard4552]

Hi bud, I've used whole crabs before and ive caught some big drums on them, but honestly, the half crabs work just as well and will catch you the same size fish. You'll conserve more bait too

[@Turosr]

Great vid!!! Love all the rods out at one time.

[@leeg45691]

Nice video coop! Yes, whole crab please bro for some monster reds!!

[@GEEYRADOS818]

that was sick double brotha! respect from the west coast

[@davidpercival9239]

Goda Mighty, Great Catch.Thanks.

[@jonconnorbolton4008]

Your video quality is 🔥🔥 keep goin man

[@thefishdude9501]

Broo that camera throw was sick!!

[@SkunkMasterFishing]

WOW that black drum looked like a RAM with all that DOME!!!

[@jacobkoerner3687]

Always love the production m'man! Fishin' ain't bad either, hahah. Did you have THREE fish at 9:35ish?? G'damn! Either way, run it back.

[@kclagunafishing]

Nice Black drum you should do a off shore trip for snapper when the season comes

[@clarkbreen4634]

Two great catches for sure

[@tjlittle0721]

Bet you're glad you set that hook 🤣 nice catch man!

[@dillandrews7687]

Definitely get some whole Blue Crab or maybe some Soft Shells.They are great bait for gigantic Speckled Trout.

[@chancellorofchinense]

Yes on the whole crab idea

[@Kizortv]

LMFAO, earned a LIKED with that funny shallow water!

[@jdguevara4208]

Great catch Coop.

[@johnmiller8433]

Awesome black drum, and great video!

[@davidespinosa6045]

My dude !!! Got my pb drum last weekend 44 in !! Insane

[@Bfresh99]

Definitely throw a whole crab while you're soaking bait. That giant is out there waiting for you!

[@eliasurbina7277]

That’s a sick drum!!!!!

[@Bsalty1975]

Double reel in action, that's whats up!👊

[@bryantacosta4612]

I’ve caught the mantis shrimp on live bait before and they taste amazing

[@l4d13sm4n217]

Awesome content Coop. Love the vids man. Keep it up! When you gonna do another shark video? Would love to see some shark action...

[@FMateoVela]

Would love to see you out at cosway one night! 5-10 35+ drum caught each night!

[@astan26]

Love me some backside of ol mustang. Great vid

[@RRROMOTV]

This is one of the best sponsored videos ive watched!

[@MatthewDollingerGearbox]

What a hog Coop! Nice fish and congrats on the Fishbrain sponsor. I use their app here in FL. Keep posting bro!

[@christopherjenkins2373]

Awesome video! Haven’t ever used blue crab or mantis shrimp up here in NC. I guess because I only surf fish up here. Does that App work up here in NC?

[@fishon1273]

Nice double strike

[@chrisvmartinez]

Hey Coop, have you thought about doing some traveling to baja Mexico for Yellowtail or SoCal for some calico bass action???

[@brentnanita3939]

only 6 weeks away till LBSF starts up here in Galveston. Which beach you going to hit first?

[@xpressfishing1985]
