ONCE In A Lifetime Catch - Bridge Jigging w/Shrimp Lure

Never thought I'd see this happen. Been targeting sheepshead for years and finally got an absolute unit with artificial. Very cool thing to happen and very exciting! Thumped the Vudu Shrimp!

[@simonemidy4259]

wow, that's a monster sheepshead anywhere in any water. Love getting surprises like that. Well done Elias.

[@SovereignLivingNYC]

I promise, the fish see Elias’s kayak and literally sprint TOWARDS it 😂😂😂. You the GOAT man! Love the vid as always.

[@savbeats8411]

Fish have legs??

[@jaronholt632]

lol obviously you edit and cut to the catches

[@andyshumate4753]

Always look forward to your videos and you never disappoint. Thank you.

[@randymorris8740]

Here's a tip: The Vudu Shrimp works great in freshwater too, I've caught many fish with it in Lake Erie and the Ashtabula River... Smallmouth bass and steelheads just love them...

[@danl.909]

Yep. They work on speckled trout in the surf in Alabama too. If it’s not rough and the water’s clear, just crawl one along the bottom in the first gut and wait for the big bump, because it’s coming.

[@Spn_plixxy]

@Moses KongI i would recommend draging it on th sand cause the same happend to me i lost a pack at the pier.

[@Spn_plixxy]

@Moses KongI 👍

[@BStavFishing]

Elias, that sheepshead was a beast!!! Congratulations!!

[@geistte]

Love the videos! Love them even more when I see you fishing next to my house! I've never had a sheepshead hit in that area. Going to give it a shot!

[@BigBass-xf5yi]

What a big , beautiful sheepshead. Congrats and well done.

[@Mickey088]

Your videos are always action packed, that was awesome when that sheep first came up!! Heart pounder

[@CrunchingC]

From the area and it’s cool seeing him fish the same spots as I do. Nice to learn from someone in the area and not in south Florida

[@MakeTimeForFishing]

Man that's a stud even on live bait! Crazy stuff, well done!

[@7thevanfishing]

Insane dude. Crazy that a sheep that huge bit an artificial. Nothing like an awesome sheep bite! Great video man

[@patrickharrison5959]

Thanks for brightening my work day! I can smell the saltwater from my desk.

[@vincentsalentino9906]

That was epic what a sheep!!!! On artificial you the man elias !!! Thanks for sharing

[@johningrassia4150]

Thanks Elias. Great tips as always.

[@reelingwithrocha2830]

Sooo cool. What-a-sheepie! Thx for the rig advice

[@KrisHarperShow]

All of the Egret Baits lineup is stellar. Mambo Mullet is a favorite of mine. They are based out of my area, so it’s cool to see a local company doing well on a quality channel like yours!

[@xiphiasoffishwell4781]

That was a monster sheep. Nice catch brother. Tight lines!

[@curtisg.8671]

Thats so funny adding your "buddy" to the videos Elias. The infamous toadfish.

[@Bolanksakti]

greetings, one of my friends' favorites from Indonesia 🤝🎣🎣🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩

[@bentaylor4570]

It is kinda sad his old “spirit animal” the blue fish has been replaced with the better tasting but still undesirable toad. RIP the blue fish

[@DavidWGould]

You do a great job with the areas you fish. I live in the RDU area and would love to come and have a drink or coffee some time. Thanks for what you post and how you fish.

[@ChrisM-lj3zq]

Awesome job as always. Thank you for the video

[@stevehogan8829]

First Sand Bass I've ever seen. Eli, you've got such nice looking fish up that way. Red tide has torn us up down here. Been this way a couple of years now.

[@paco1008]

Nice assortment ... couple good specs. That Sheepshead was a MONSTER!

[@davidmcfarland7317]

Vudu shrimp under a popping cork is a deadly combo.Awesome sheepshead bro.

[@breecegahl3055]

Nice Pop! Cool to see, keep on rockin brother!!

[@coffeehunter8742]

Largest Sheepster I've ever seen caught! Nice video!!👍

[@terrywatson2377]

That was an awesome sheepshead. Loved the video.

[@chuckbixler3570]

Great vid Elias. That was a stud of a sheepshead. I'm heading to Jershey in a few weeks need to stop and pick me up some if them voodos. Tight lines.

[@FaithNFishing]

You're always so, "been there, done that" so it was cool to see you get excited over that Sheepshead.

[@AnDy_ToM22]

Love those light action fights!

[@jimlewis6543]

That’s an awesome catch on the voodoo!! Congrats!!

[@JeffSmith-eq3kc]

That really is incredible. I've caught a lot of sheepshead. I think from 23-24" and down they are amazing eating. I have never caught one on artificial and I've fished artificial in sheepy areas for a couple decades. Awesome.

[@JohnDoe-df2zz]

That's a pretty amazing day of fishing for sure...I'd be happy with that!

[@johncole5297]

Again another great job

[@Bolanksakti]

[@allanatthefishinglab]

Great catch!!

[@timberwolfe338]

"Take me to your croaker" Bahahah

[@Flash445]

Howdy from Texas. That sheepshead was a stud and not just for artificial!

[@kirkshiloh2843]

Great sheep!!

[@flyfishmerc]

Solid vids man. Nice work.

[@seabasssouthflorida]

Great catch and awesome views. 🤙🏽

[@LilTaco777]

Yeah that’s nuts

[@JerseyJoel]

Stud Sheepshead!! That was a great fight! 👍 🎣

[@Bolanksakti]

[@regularandrew]

Huge sheep! Love the channel!

[@Fishyfish4]

Gnarly catch Elias!

[@donmace4501]

Thanks for this video. Just tried the Savage Gear Manic Shrimp in South Jersey...seven flounder caught. Craziest thing I ever saw...the biggest one jumped 3’ out of the water.

[@morrisronald96]

I swear by the voodoo shrimp it's always comming in clutch for me

[@morrisronald96]

Fish arnt bitting anything else just toss on the voodoo and I don't have and shrimp sent yet can't find it

[@Chriscfish95]

nice sheep! well done as always

[@justinmidgette2391]

Sheepys make awesome fish tacos! nice one man

[@yoyomamamma2260]

Awesome job !

[@mikeanzalone214]

as always , great video.

[@LanceMcCormick]

We use those shrimp to slay the trout at the swing bridge on Camp Lejeune. Purple ones my favorites! Nice Fat Goat!

[@FishingwithBrewski]

Holy name drop!! 😄

[@fishntyme8495]

Never apologize for keeping your catch and eating it!

[@drownthedays]

I applaud your decision to keep that fish. I see many people on here holding fish out the water way too long, only to take a photo and then throw them back regardless of the state of those fish. Knowing a fish's chance of survival and making an educated decision based on that (and killing the fish you keep in a quick and humane fashion, rather than leaving them to suffocate for minutes) is what makes a good fisherman to me.

[@bryankeating8440]

I liked that video. You seemed like you enjoyed yourself.

[@904reelman5]

Just did a Flounder vid using those vudu shrimps and they work awesome but ill definitely have to try some vertical jigging, never done it this way before with the Vudu. Cool vid and plan for the day 👍

[@WVCUR77]

Monster sheep. Hopefully you make it to CBBT this year for some more bridge action.

[@MECH-MASTER]

That’s a monster 👍

[@campyfishytv2498]

beautiful spot brother 😊👌❤️🇲🇾

[@Lsmoe]

Nice Catch !! Caught a nice size Grouper In Marco Island with an artificial underspin. Where are you in this video ? And are Sheep Head good eating ? Love me some Sea Trout

[@richardborror9025]

You need to get some stickers made, I'd totally buy some.

[@scottmichael3745]

I would too bro!

[@lesson2us]

Yeah like EVfishing

[@OUTDOORSACCURACY]

Me two

[@The_Hi_Life]

Whoa, MASSIVE sheepshead! Those dorsal fins freaking me out man, worst I’ve ever been finned is by 1 of these… OUCH!

[@josedjimenez3570]

Hi from Puerto Rico. good videos. La Tribu Fishing Club PR.

[@NemesisDragon2007]

That voodoo shrimp works great. I keep 2 on me that size all the time. Everything hits it, even had grouper grab it off jetties.

[@johnleden1909]

If you feel like a road trip - weakfishing is hot in Peconic - even Skinner is catching them!

[@eddielikesfishing]

Out of curiosity, how are they doing in the Great South Bay?

[@genedeahl7453]

Excellent Smithers

[@o0zombiebait0o]

What an absolutely ridiculous sheep. Incredible.

[@matthewmercer2477]

Love that "thump". Usually for me the reds grab my artificials harder and just stay down, keeps me coming back. I am going to have to get some crabs and try for sheeps.

[@MardiaSwagger7]

Beast Mode!

[@bangaukumpaw5596]

Good information 👍 nice place nice video bro. . Amazing Strike 🎣😎🤙

[@JMBlank1]

Love your videos! I do most of my fishing in Jamaica Bay & Debs Inlet,(your old stomping grounds) my question, where can I get that orange pair of pliers that you grab the fish with?

[@yeahbabysaipan]

nice catch brother big catch🐟🎣fish on!

[@capefearcapt4679]

Well done! Definitely relatively rare to catch one that big on artificial.

[@war_moose5814]

Miss you AND YOUR FAMILY. IT IS A grange ti my family live and miss you

[@papachulo6801]

That bridge is a great spot for sheeps.

[@carlnewtonfishing6045]

Great fishing, would love to fish somewhere like that!

[@captainandrewcrabtree6535]

That egret baits co vudu shrimp is killer... 🤙

[@CaptRyanBender]

Love that spot for variety, usually catch anywhere from 5-10 different species. Slayed the Spanish there last week as well lol

[@Bolanksakti]

greetings, one of my friends' favorites from Indonesia 🤝🎣🎣🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩

[@dishonallen1367]

Spanish thick there Wednesday

[@whitebathroomguy]

Are those the left over boeys from the Jaws movie @7:40 lmao 🤣🤣🤣

[@austinpurden1186]

What a tank!

[@nasaman5843]

Hell of a catch man! Good 💩

[@theavrgjoe8656]

Love the vudu shrimp. Everything eats the Vudu shrimp.

[@jelly_fishing]

Monster sheepshead - nice multi species

[@jakemcconnaughey5501]

Dude that sheepshead is HUGE

[@georgefisher1719]

Elias great channel epic well done artificial plastics fishing ,yup 10 lb is my favorite ....

[@eastcoastoutdoors902]

I’ve caught sheepshead on artificial before… that same exact lure actually… but never that big!

[@Bolanksakti]

greetings, one of my friends' favorites from Indonesia 🤝🎣🎣🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩

[@idontusegmail7102]

Skills he keep bringing them in till he hit the jackpot

[@woodystemms3799]

Hard-core ... the scent had to help, and lighter leader sold the package.

[@Boltxhardrock]

How come lighter leader works better? They see the higher lbs line? Sick Sheepshead!

[@JamesJReid]

champion

[@tylercooper40]

Nice sheepshead. I’ve not tried scent on artificial. What do you recommend?

[@jameshusted4242]

Your a beast man

[@chefjacktheprofessionaldri6284]

Nice Sheepshead!

[@mattgurin6168]

Gotta harvest that sheepy, great eating. Big one there

[@stewyoung8523]

Deep fried sheepshead. Nice big fish and chips.

[@isaksoumahoro7276]

Good video ✌🏽✌🏽

[@FishingwithBrewski]

Good stuff.

[@Bolanksakti]

greetings, one of my friends' favorites from Indonesia 🤝🎣🎣🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩

[@noahjohns7954]

Hey Elias! What’s your opinion on the hobie outback and compass vs the old town top water or salty pdl? Or predator pdl. For fishing inshore flats, bridges, and maybe a cbbt trip every once in a while. And for surf launches.

[@Bolanksakti]

greetings, one of my friends' favorites from Indonesia 🤝🎣🎣🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩

[@noahjohns7954]

@@Bolanksakti thanks

[@hevestilmy6635]

2 questions: did you dose the voodoo shrimp with procure? Second question: is it one sheepshead, multiple sheephead, or multiple sheepsheads? !

[@kennethlaibson6506]

Now that's a 🐟 Fish with a Story, Mount it !

[@o2mtv62]

best moment brother, good job... i'm from indonesia

[@ZoofSkillzFishing]

Awesome video! I just subbed. I am also a an Art Lure Angler. I fish in the Southern Hemisphere, and predominantly fish in saltwater. I hope to catch atleast 20 new species in the next year!
