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

[@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

[@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.

[@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 👍

[@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

[@BStavFishingAndHunting]

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

[@patrickharrison5959]

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

[@MakeTimeForFishing]

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

[@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!

[@FaithNFishing]

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

[@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!! 😄

[@curtisg.8671]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@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.

[@BigBass-xf5yi]

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

[@davidmcfarland7317]

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

[@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.

[@paco1008]

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

[@Flash445]

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

[@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.

[@xiphiasoffishwell4781]

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

[@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.

[@vincentsalentino9906]

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

[@7thevanfishing]

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

[@andyshumate4753]

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

[@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.

[@whitebathroomguy]

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

[@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!

[@jimlewis6543]

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

[@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.

[@reelingwithrocha2830]

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

[@WVCUR77]

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

[@Mickey088]

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

[@eddielikesfishing]

@ Montana Tatum I haven't fished in that inlet in over 20 years, I'm not in NY anymore. If I visit old friends, I'll more than likely bring tackle. If I go, I might go out to Shinnecock or Montauk Point. I know that fluke is a colloquial term for summer flounder. I caught enough of them as a boy. If I remember correctly, at the time the size limit used to be 15 inches. I'm sure it's larger now. That tackle shop that I was in that wanted to prove their point by cracking open a book was talking about fluke. At the time I thought fluke ran the entire length of the eastern seaboard, but they took me to school on that as well. They were without a doubt talking about the same fish, just using summer flounder, which really is the correct name. The point that I was trying to make with milkshakesplenda was that other places will refer to it by a different name. The same as if you go to the state of Delaware and fish for striped bass, they call them rockfish. I wasn't trying to be right, I was just trying to point something out.

[@johningrassia4150]

Thanks Elias. Great tips as always.

[@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

[@Fishyfish4]

Gnarly catch Elias!

Never apologize for keeping your catch and eating it!

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

[@flyfishmerc]

Solid vids man. Nice work.

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

[@allanatthefishinglab]

Great catch!!

[@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 👍

[@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.

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

[@wishinone]

All the inshore fish seem to love that Vu-doo shrimp they also make a very good shad lure, only bad thing is when a pufferfish desides to chomp the tail off and you're down $4.00.

[@blakew5672]

Until 5 days ago I’d never saltwater fished. Took a trip to the Everglades on fished the Joe River. Had a run in with one of those little bastards (checkered pufferfish) and it ruined a decent amount of my lures. Thing even bit clean through a snap swivel.

[@theavrgjoe8656]

Love the vudu shrimp. Everything eats the Vudu shrimp.

[@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.

Gotta harvest that sheepy, great eating. Big one there

I am guessing that is the Sneads Ferry bridge at the north end of Topsail Island...??

Hello, what is the name of the liquid you apply to the silicones?

I live and fish in the southeast region of Florida and I don't recall ever seeing a sheep that big! Not a lot of flounder here either. Would love to know what region you were fishing in this video. Keep em comin...

Dude that sheepshead is HUGE

[@ericneunsinger1671]

Discovered vudu shrimp about a month ago, sense then I’ve gone fishing 5 times. Most fish I’ve landed on artificial in my entire life. I have people coming up to me asking me what I’m using for bait lol. 10 flounder yesterday with 4 keepers.

[@davidb9477]

Do you use procure of just straight vudu?

[@ivanmahusay4080]

what is that scent that you use

[@killintimeoutdoors]

How heavy is the Vudu shrimp you are using for jigging?

[@Bolanksakti]

Yeah that’s nuts

[@tzzogg]

looks like so many bridges, but the 312 in st augustine comes to mind

[@fernandodasilva4813]

Is there a difference between a summer flounder downtown florida than a fluke cause I used to I live in georgia now but I used to go fluke in a long island sound mine talk all the time so there is a difference

[@hevestilmy6635]

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

[@BallisticAdventure]

where were you at?? ive never seen so many flounder in one video!! great fishing!!

[@woodystemms3799]

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

[@paulgolden2467]

is this the 172 bridge out the back gate of Camp Lejeune?

Nice Sheepshead!
