Love the content, would be great to hear some comments on gear/setups occasionally, rod & reel choice, line & leader weights etc. Cheers

[@TomMendoladrums]

What a beauty! When all is bleak, a big beautiful fish changes everything.

[@MareEgretsMoose]

Epic battles today, Matt! Thank you for feeding my disease! I am so far away from warm salt water, some days I fear I have seen it for the last time. Just a short 9500 miles from me to you! I'll look forward to those proper-sized GTs in the coming year. Thanks again for a much needed break from the fresh snow in Minnesota! Cheers! Will

[@PelagicPursuit89]

nothing a long plane flight cant fix haha nothing but big gts next year haha unless i paddle board one

[@bundyboy65]

What an awesome way to end 2021 Matt. You continue to break new ground in targeting challenging species and I can imagine how happy the clients must be that have joined you for a trip. The goal for 2022 should be for your subscribers to get stuck in, share this channel's content and get you the 100K subs you truly deserve. Good luck for the new year.

[@davewatson3398]

Attaboy Matty, great video. I like the pick a target, go catch ‘em approach. Almost to 50k for the best fishing channel on the Tube. Looking forward to whatever you’ll deliver in 2022. Good luck to you and yours 👍

YEA MATTY 🤙🏽 Yewwwww... Awsome Video My Guy 🤜🏽💥🤛🏽

[@UrbanFisherman]

Awesome video bro 👍🏾

[@MrKveite1]

They are all good but some are just better:))) And now as a true pro keyboardwarrior a little tip for your flycasting when doing reg casts. It looks like your double pull is a bit too fast for the rod and it's also a bit short. Make a longer and more acellerating pull and you will load the rod deeper and get a few xtra meter since the casting part of the rod is the lower part.Power of the all mighty keyboard warrior:)

[@PelagicPursuit89]

hahaha totally makes sense. im a self taught caster and sometimes looks ugly but this year im going to do a lot more of it so hopefully sort my shit out

[@paulvout4267]

Awesome content as always!! keep producing the goods mate. Watching you target the 🇨🇳 reminds me a lot of stick baiting for kingfish in shallow water estuaries.

Where can I get a flying fish “popper” like yours?

[@settarobertson5221]

Nomad lures look them up

[@tommaysfishing]

Great video

[@captchemat3910]

I think the best lever length for me is the same length as my height. So I choose readymade fishing rod or custom built it to match my height. I felt satisfy in term of balance between burden held during jigging and pumping fish up with my hand and body strength compare to advantage of leverage provide by the rod length. For those who yet to know- the longer your rod, the heavier / stronger we felt the fish fighting. God knows best.

[@chrisbetter3820]

[@carlosalcala3510]

Hi, like always, great video. I can't find "Twitch It" paddle tails here in the Northeast USA. Who makes them and who sells them? Thanks!

[@rogerr7856]

Those Chinamen remind me of Mr. Wink(chain/fist) in the movie Hell Boy II, The Golden Army. 😛. I'd think they have to eat mostly crustaceans but are opportunistic feeders. Seriously tough fish!

[@xanderzone5283]

nice..where can buy the flyng fish lures

[@metalink137]

What's the make and model of your boat mate

[@PelagicPursuit89]

25T contender

[@savvasefsef]

Happy new years eve!!Do we know the scientific name of..."China?", looks like snapper or Porgy something!!!

[@DanEvan]

It’s a snapper. Same family as a Cubera or Red Snapper. Mostly destroy crabs and lobsters but just like a cubera will come up and take a swipe at a popper or stickbait. Insanely strong pound for pound (world record is only like 29 pounds) and if they grew to the 100+ pound range I reckon they’d be harder to stop than GTs even on PE-10.

[@savvasefsef]

@@DanEvan thanks man, happy new year!!!As Greece resident, looks like a lot with Porgy we got here, up to 11+kg. We got also other 4 different red snappers, one of them grows that size, first dorsal fin like antenna,all the way to the tail long,thanks a lot!!!

[@GunShot101]

spangelys are my fave to eat

[@BentengFishing]

Good fishing

[@rondio7445]

Nice catch bro

[@rondio7445]

Give me old fishing gear bro🙏🙏

[@damoncockburn9699]

You make it look so easy.. I had my first crack on the flats last week and couldn't find a trout, managed a few spanglies. Should I just be looking for bombies with current hitting them? Incoming or outgoing, does one tend to fish better then the other in your experience?

[@PelagicPursuit89]

run out seems to focus them more on bombies and not spread out on the reef flats. current is a huge part of finding fish on the flats but distance away from trout boats is even more important.

[@jemyfishing3738]

Feri good

[@DanEvan]

Matty so the IGFA world record is 29 pounds, and from previous episodes you’ve got to be coming close with a few that you’ve caught. Do you think if these fish grew to the 50-70kg size they’d be harder to stop than a GT on PE-10?

[@PelagicPursuit89]

might have to weigh one hey. i think even at 20kg they would be unstoppable

[@zainalasikin6647]

Good 👍

[@gazmo6070]

Now you just gotta get a solid China on a 12 wt 🙃😂

[@AlexKorobov]

Just found your channel and loving the videos! I’m from SW Florida and our fishing is definitely different than this and it’s just fun to see this different type. How do you stay in a position on the water? Do you have some spot lock on the motors or throw and anchor?

[@PelagicPursuit89]

i always drift when fishing to try cover ground and then at night will anchor on the sand flats

[@SuperJupiter33]

awesome gorgeous fish! ...what was the ending musical track .
