Great video, Mark, that first trout was really nice, but that jack was off the chain, congratulations! Take care and be safe.

[@MDLRFishing]

Thanks 🙏

[@jvarnell2010]

Great show! I believe it is one of your very best! Congratulations on the big Jack! The trout and redfish were great size as well!

[@isoplus3513]

That was THE best fishing technique/advice on KZbin. 'Offering to sea god' I must try the next time 🤣

[@deannfrey3469]

You always do a great job of describing your gear and talking about your wins and failures, which helps us immensely.

[@texasjoe3261]

I Always Enjoyed Fishing Offatts Bayou ! Best Deep Water Fishing Spot In The Galveston Bay Complex !

[@brandonmolina711]

Congrats on the Jack! Had a feeling it was going to be a Jack 😂 keep them coming mark!

[@MDLRFishing]

Thanks brother 🤙

[@dd214fishing]

Just a suggestion hook n move away from structure. We fish under bridges using this combat style and we have learned to hook n move away fast.

[@dougcanter670]

You have worked those jetties so hard for a JACK! Pretty crazy you got it there.

[@nathanmorkovsky2855]

Good things come to those who wait congratulations

[@1969LILJOE]

So thrilled to see you catch that Jack on the Yak. Tight Lines all day.

[@kathyclark9268]

What an incredible fish!!! Love your videos!!

[@rayfordkershaw3989]

Geat day of fishing highs and lows. In the end a big catch to top off the day. Keep up the great job of filming.

[@j.d.9648]

Mark gets the "line of the year"! Croaker gets his freedom through the scupper hole and Mark says "I hate my life"! LOL!!

[@ReelTimeCapt]

Beuatiful Jack! Congrats!!

[@TheFishAndTrips]

Bro that one croaker that fell down the scuffer hole really survived on the 11th hour.😂😂😂

[@MDLRFishing]

😂😂😂

[@dirtybayadventures9563]

That jack was sick. That lost croaker damn near killed me.😅

[@Eric_Castillo_Fishing]

Croaker makes for fun & easy fishing, great video!

[@marcogarza641]

You go the extra step cause your cool like that! Outstanding effort.

[@ronnstone7023]

Loved this video. Thanks for sharing Mark! Semper Fi!

[@MDLRFishing]

Thanks for watching! Rah!

[@dixter1652]

over where that boat is grounded is a flat... its about 4 - 5 foot deep and there are always fish there... you can even get out of your boat and just fish while standing there... then just push your boat up to the shore and get back in.... do you know what the story is on the grounded boat there ???

[@PuraSalAngler]

Amazing catches mark -that water was like glass - tight lines - PuraSal Angler 🙌🏻

[@txaquatics3065]

Congrats, Mark! I know the feeling.

[@sebascastillo10]

What a great video and day of fishing 🔥

[@REELcasting]

Nice work UNC! I’m taking notes

[@brucebroussard1809]

Nice video Marc,love them Jacks!!

[@MyJason444]

you caught a beast ! heck Yeah Bro ! Awesome fish Big Donkeys

[@DCV97]

Hell yeah bro!

[@losmuertos7444]

So rad! 🔥

[@ronsmith4510]

Man that looked like fun ! Nice fish Bro !

[@reygarcia6627]

Awesome video bro, my buddy caught a gator 🐊 on that boat ramp about a week ago or so he was on the little pier where you launched.

[@weirdfishweirdfish6636]

Great stuff brother every Jack we have hooked this year has been in the bay system

[@MDLRFishing]

It’s crazy

[@trinacria1956]

What a day! Thanks for info, never went there, but need to try it.

[@nozrep]

yah as a less experienced angler i’d have never ever guessed an ultralight would have been able to catch the monster mud donkeys you’ve caught on them. But learned ever since I found your channel! So I changed my mind to getting an ultralight next instead of a 10 foot jetty rod which I also still want. haha but I wade inshore mostly or bank fish anyway. You proved it!😅 As I’m sure many have just, my lack of experience I’d have not assumed that a few years ago.

[@trinacria1956]

Look again at video and his more list, he showed the ultralight set up but he said he used the ML 6'6" jiging rod with a 6000 reel. That is not ultralight.

[@fidelgarcia5503]

I like it

[@scottsundstrom3529]

Well done Mark!

[@motokenzo763]

You could drive-in by the airport and wade that area late 80's & early 90's, it was known as the grandstands. Also fished the Crash Basin and Lake Madalin, they all hold trout. Those spots were mostly winter fishing for trophy trout. 🎣🤠

[@shannondlr7180]

Finally got a jack! Congratulations

[@MDLRFishing]

Felt so good to hear that drag.

[@tangocharlie3545]

Very nice 👍🏼

[@joshgordon2484]

So after twisting the bait loop you then put the hook down through its nose?

[@AlanSloan88]

That jack not only made your day but your year. Funny grunting sounds during the fight, lol. What's up with the capsized boat in your video?

[@sidprice829]

Best catch for the best catcher.

[@mattemal6054]

Any concern that swallowing that wax thread is harmful for the fish you release? Or does the thread stay on the hook?

[@OldTownCanoeKayak]

Congrats!

[@luisgscoso]

Hey I have a question I have never seeing you fishing on surfside yeti on Quintana side it’s not a good spot ? Thanks

[@roymyers8575]

Awesome......dream catch

[@nurlanryssaldinov1566]

Nice catch!!! I see only you the one that released Jack!

[@royschlickeisen2539]

👍👍👍👍👍great 🎣video be watching for the next one.

[@marvincruz9543]

Saludos amigo buen video te saludo desde aquí Houston

[@urbanbackyardcontainergardenin]

Nice video🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾

[@richiegarza8642]

This time of the year Offats has plenty of Jacks!!!

[@ronn077]

Great video. I know exactly where you are. Also, I grew up in Galveston, born in the island. I've never heard Offatts Bayou pronounced the way you said it. We always said Off-its. 😅

[@bowdenhooser2200]

Well looks like I’ll be fishing that bayou this weekend

[@johnbuzo3984]

Great catch vro

[@MDLRFishing]

Appreciate it!

[@paulfitzpatrick6202]

I called it. Wow a nice one. Maybe a 40 incher. I caught 4 of them last week

[@MDLRFishing]

🙌

[@elfishonado76]

Congrats on ur jack

[@markrodriguez5210]

GOAT!!!

[@claylatour1899]

Mark, so you were not fishing on bottom by the docks? Only halfway down or so?

[@MDLRFishing]

Yes, halfway down. My bait kept dying when I sent them to the bottom.

[@barrettcrooks4807]

Looks like u fishing,OFFatts Bayou in Galveston

[@damonthomascaligone]

Good content

[@johnbuzo3984]

Tight lines bro

[@MDLRFishing]

🙌

[@MrBubbaruiz]

Lol how lucky was that first croaker huh?

[@HodgePodgeGarage]

offatts... used to launch out of the boat club over there

[@jeremyseymour7905]

Amberjack or Jack Crevalle (sic?).? Maybe the latter given so inshore ..Regardless great catch, know you were super happy wnen you landed it. Im becoming a big addict of MDLRF!! Keep up the killer work!

[@MDLRFishing]

Jack Crevalle, thanks for the support.

[@phillipholland92]

Small rubber bands might be cheaper than those threads for the needle

[@MDLRFishing]

I might have to look into that, thanks for the tip.

[@hamfishing]

Best effort to keep my bait alive....I like to let them go LOL

[@1957cajun]

I would love to know what would have happened there if you started using artificials knowing there were fish there.

[@MDLRFishing]

I’ve done it in the past and it’s hard to get them to bite.

[@davidgarcia6315]

Cut the top of a soda bottle to fit snug in the hole on the bottom of the kayak but put the lid and put holes on the bottle so the water can go in or B out but be used like a strainer .

[@kevenpinder7025]

What's with the derelict sailboat? Hurricane victim? Compromised fiberglass hull?

[@kevenpinder7025]

I think you're gonna need a bigger boat...

[@dafroz2479]

You got a hole in one, and wasn't even golfing...lol

[@MDLRFishing]

😂
