Scaled This CLIFF for a Big SURPRISING Catch on an Isolated Beach (+UNDERWATER Surf Footage)!

On a weirdly warm but foggy day, I climbed down this cliff to fish a beach all to myself... with a surprising catch!

Eh mate, your photography easily contains some of the best visuals on KZbin. The different cameras and angles you choose to use, captures so beautifully, the specific fishing environment you’ve chosen. The visuals below water are absolutely wicked amazing mate. Keep up the incredible work. Honestly, it’s truly epic! Cheers from Western Australia!

[@mikeforce5926]

That is so cool.I bet if you had a transmitting antenna on a float going down to the line camera and having a small monitor on the pole would let you view in real time whats going on with your bait.I know thats kind of farfetch but that would be cool.I love your channel man,keep up the great videos.That bat ray was super cool.Hey from Texas.Stay safe my brother.

[@myinfinitestate1586]

Michael Franks 👍 Sounds like a pretty epic idea. Real time tele fishing. Good to ya brotha! Cheers & Best Wishes Mate from Western OZ! 😎🤙😀

[@catchncookcalifornia1574]

Good point on the sand stirring up and sand crabs being exposed! Never thought of that but it makes total sense!

[@Fishingwithdaboys]

I didn’t think about that either

[@conspiraciesarejustgreatst2059]

I really like how you give little tidbits of info while fishing. Like when you mentioned how you look down as the water washes back off the beach to see if you can grab some sand fleas. The fleas that just malted and can't dig real fast because their she'll isn't rigid enough. That's great info dude. Keep it up

[@jamico7]

Nice one l love these quiet little beaches all to yourself and you never know what you catch. Brilliant video,

[@colinmctaggart4798]

The underwater footage is great to see. Love all you videos. Keep up the great work it’s really enjoyable to watch.

[@moquant947]

Bro!! You are a Pro, love your drone shots, showing the hiking path, choosing the surf spot, labelling equipments used and the film editing. A++ for this one.

[@hooper4581]

Outstanding love the gofish footage. Always a pleasure to watch pal thanks for posting

[@tamilwavesfishing1002]

Under water coverage is outstanding in between the wave rolls looking amazing . Great effort keep it up good work. Myself from India.

[@zeldanrj3]

I'm over here crocheting and watching your video. I saw the pole get yanked into the water and I started screaming ((as if you could hear me)) *GET YOUR POLE* !!! Maannnnn... that was crazy. Glad your ok and the pole was saved.

[@westcoastrcsliderz546]

Thanks for showing us what happens down there In The water! Very Informative

[@karlchen9024]

underwater footage is incredible..... more please

[@danielberggren4881]

respect dude, you're a great adventurer and you love it. Also, an innovator love your work.

[@Hook2Cook]

Thanks for the tide coefficient insight. Makes a ton of sense. You don’t get that quality info just anywhere! Great vid D!

[@danl.909]

Interesting stuff. So different in some ways from surf fishing in Alabama-I cannot imagine climbing down a cliff to go fishing! The sand crabs look almost the same as ours; we call them sand fleas, though. One thing that’s the same in both places: damned rays are a pain in the butt and they love sand fleas!

[@ogoe_joeoutdoors1088]

When I saw the rod go down my thought was "RIP"... Glad you recovered your gear. Keep up the good work brother.

[@jimmymak7656]

Good work? Shit he didn't know what the hell to do! Not been fishing long obviously!

[@johngeddes7894]

Bro seriously good work would be put on a 2 oz Kastmaster with bucktail and get those stripers, not mess with rays or perch.

[@ogoe_joeoutdoors1088]

@@jimmymak7656 I'd rather focus in positivity than inundate the comment section with senseless dribble. "Good work" could be directed towards his overall uploads or whatever.

[@LillyMunster85]

My kids are super excities to use sand crabs to catch some fish at the beach next time. Nice video and nice underwater shots, always wanted to see that!

[@mikemoe3481]

Love the underwater footage

[@ishwithfish]

dang man, you almost had youtube's first underwater surf striper catch!! between that and the sandy battle ii, i need to go lie down😓

[@chalo186ga]

Great video and what a surprise catching the ray on sand crabs , keep up the awesome content coming.

[@rhythmnblues14]

Bro super sick footage of that striper. Damn that was heart breaking

[@t1hardemazn]

Love the underwater footage too! Heartbreaking indeed. I'm a fan and have been watching your videos for a while Daniel and have seen you loose a handful of fish. One thing I'm always thinking with the lost fish is that you don't set the hook in hard/at all. Anyone (or Daniel) know if this could be a cause for the lost fish? Hoping this may help so we can see you land more sweet fish!

[@brodiwheeler7583]

Ty H Not setting the hook hard on hard mouthed fish after letting them fully take the bait is definitely a factor, the other major factor to lost fish is lack of tension and improper drag set. I think D overtightened the drag on this Stiper and then the fish was able to shake off the hook.

[@morrobayfishing5515]

Nananananananana.... BatRay!... Where's the RobinRay!.. Nice vid, thanks..

[@tomi1964]

Omg Daniel you had me dying laughing @14:27! Bahahhha! What would Fisherman Jesus do?! Lol I did not know that’s how you pick them up. It was scary catching one on the East Coast. We have sand crabs @ the Outer Banks too. I think Jun swears by the soft shells with eggs. Love the footage, I could just watch that for a while. If we go fishing together don’t even think of trying to kill me with that hike! If YOU have to take a break, mere mortals like me would die!! ❤️

[@mond000]

Love the drone and underwater footage!!

[@NickFish007]

Awesome footage man!! You have a great eye for filming. Less drag next time for that striper, that was too much

[@ravenfeader]

Top little beach there mate. That ray looks a lot like our eagle ray which also puts up a great fight. These rays love the beaches just for the reasons you spoke about on your hike in and they are perfectly designed for it . Loved the video

[@heathschwab]

Very nice thanks for the underwater video to cool. God bless

[@miguelvmedina]

Looks like West coast.. hell even south of the border near Rosarito

[@traceybabes6338]

Thank you for these great videos in dang near impossible to access areas. Lawdz know I couldn't do those hikes. Hike on Philosophy D😊💕

[@jogosfishing701]

Awesome video. Someone needs to do a catch and cook bat Ray. Lol.

[@efffishing4845]

Outdoor chef life must have read your comment...

[@jogosfishing701]

@@efffishing4845 just saw that.lol.

[@israelrivas134]

A ray!!! In the surf even I was surprised!

[@stevehogan8829]

We've got sand fleas over here on the Gulf Coast too but red tide took a toll on them just like it did other things. ha bat ray on a beach with a sand crab seems pretty normal to me.

[@FishGum]

Cut those sand crabs in half you’ll release a super strike stimulant!

[@louisaziz1235]

Great video. Pyramid weights are great. For surf fishing, get pyramids with wire prongs that help keep your line from being washed in by the waves. Awesome job.

[@hanapaaPNW]

You need a tie down on the spike/reel, or sink the spike lower, and also, they sell pole bells that will let you know when a fish hits. Just some thoughts. Great footage man. Hana Pa'a!

[@RandAmonium]

I really enjoyed this video, Thank You,

[@fredhall4239]

A good advert for setting the drag after casting and leaving the rod, a good fish but nearly lost the lot, i really must say the angling over there seems something else compared to fished out England these days, i might be coming over soon

[@arturoportugal2036]

Awesome thanks for sharing

[@divrguy757]

Another great video D.

[@eddiepenh1077]

Cool catch man! Now THAT was a bite!👍

[@khrissteele9149]

LET'S GO!!!

[@jjdf8382]

i used to surf fish a lot and the key is always to hold your rod cause the perch will bite and run quick, if you don't hold your rod, you will lose it, like you do brother, hahaha

[@frankmendoza6337]

Kool footage keep up the good vids

[@lucabrazzi-vlog]

cool vid love the underwater footage. we have the sand fleas here on the east coast too. I use them in North Carolina or Florida to catch Pompano in particular. I hate Ray's they always pull rods out of sand spikes

[@marcocervantes909]

Yo ,that camera set up is the shi*👍

[@ryker366]

more underwater footage awesome....!!!!

[@mryang3644]

Nothin Little about that hike 😃

[@xXChakra2o9Xx]

Get those little noise motion alarms for your poles so u stop loosing fish. Cheap works.

[@nshen1221]

that's crazy from the surf! Awesome bro

[@milliepankow1326]

Super cool video. Thanks for sharing.

[@Starvingdad]

What fishing rod and reel is that? Looks awesome!

Thumbnail was scary af

[@MrHanole]

nice footage dan! just got to get that mic upgraded

[@Kapono15]

Are you going to do more videos with Matts?

[@sigmanin]

you should get a tackle backpack that can hold your rods etc so its easier to get up and down.

[@batujala6230]

Indonesia hadir.. The best skill..

[@lumberchicken007]

Snorkeling in the surf, you will see many rays and other fish. Those bony mouth plates are made for grinding shells and such. I am guessing you’re somewhere in NorCal. Pretty nice views under the churn ;)

[@luckycraftdave1065]

What app are you using for your tide information?

[@Brock_Landers]

Those Penn Battle reels are amazing. I have a Battle II 2000 for my river rod lined with 40 lb braid with a medium-heavy rod and I love it.

[@johngeddes7894]

Aluminum gears bro

[@saltycoastanglers]

Caught two Stingrays yesterday on sand crabs too in the surf on a beach just a bit north from where you fished. Thought it was gonna be two nice sized Stripers

[@SaefongOutdoors]

You should get different rod holders bro. Those pvc tubes are hard to hookset with, most bait shops in east bay will have metal or pvc rod holders that are easier to hookset with for under 20$ .

[@brandonmoore263]

Where was this beach at looks beautiful

[@reelfishing002]

Just from the underwater video, would it help if you have some small styrofoam to make your bait float up a little bit off the ground ? I always wonder while using a circle hook , HOW can you not get a hook up when the fish take your bait and run! Trying to learn WHY no hook up , especially you let the fish take your bait and run for a bit before reeling down on it Thought you would have lost your rod, saw that went down

[@cubbiemalone49]

Reel Fishing I’ve had no problems with circle hooks and use barbless ones while fishing for sharks and rays. What type of knot are you using to tie your hook to leader? I’ve found that snell knots work best with circle hooks

[@rubycone7924]

Great fishing

[@isaaclifeisbeautiful7282]

Nice video buddy what's the name of your camera for underwater???

[@KatiePhongh]

Don't mess with your drag. Just let the reel do it's job and let the fish run.

[@Jshib]

Love the underwater music. Another good vid D! Keep them coming.
