Blessed. I like how you mention about throwing back fish that ppl don't or won't eat, and proper disposal of line.

[@justinhanneken5316]

Completely agree. Solid video and advice.

[@SaiSai-xm3gi]

What does the live bait count into tho..

[@joshuamckay3796]

I really appreciate that your dad goes fishing with you so much. My Grandfather used to fishing with me all the time and I miss him so much. Thank you for being real and educational.

[@brandoncarton3491]

I’m surprised you only have 80k subs, you make super high quality informative videos and I can honestly say you helped me catch some big fish

[@brianh.5727]

Thanks again for all your advice. I’ve honestly had to figure most of this out over the years by trial and error. Sometimes by watching to see what other people were using. KZbin is a wonderful thing for this information and You and Your channel is probably my favorite. Keep up the Great work. Promoting the fun of Fishing and looking after our environment too.

[@athyrie]

I haven't fished since I was very little, but I have wanted to relearn. Thank you so much for your videos! I have found them very informative, and I also appreciated your warning about cutting up lines and only keeping fish if you intend to eat them! I look forward to watching more of your videos!

[@rahovartiv3464]

Old video but ty for seemingly being the literal only person on youtube that actually explains how your suppose to use lures cause not all of us had/have a in life teacher.

[@anacartagena8913]

I really enjoy your positive look towards ocean life preservation. I usually don't comment, but like your videos and how you explain things. Thank you.

[@AlonzoBristol3]

Just subscribed to your channel. I have been an avid fisherman all my life and I love that you have created a channel to share and explain your passion of fishing with the masses. Great channel!

[@jammy92955]

I appreciate the time you take to inform people about different fishing techniques. Above all I appreciated the fact that you inform people not to kill each fish they catch especially small fry. In the past I was a keen fisherman but now I don't have much time for fishing. I would like to try the sabiki rig and I agree although I never used it that 2/3 hooks are enough as I used a similar one with live shrimps. Keep on posting and best regards!

[@nevysadventuresllc9074]

I stumbled onto your videos and I like the simplicity of them. I live on the Gulf coast of Florida and learning to fish all over again

[@dancasey9410]

Sir Brendon, ur explaination is soo clear i didn't have to rewind the video to understand everything u say. Amazing. Its really helps, maybe someday i could use that to technique thanks a lot

[@ryanbrady3786]

Awesome work. Thanks for adding those comments at the end. Keep using your platform to spread these environmentally positive messages.

[@teddylandefeld6380]

Amazing talk about keeping fish here for the future. Everyone spread the word about releasing fish and limiting what you keep. SenkoSkipper u earned my subscription😁

[@nozpuppett3598]

Im from Australia, and fish mainly rivers for our native fish. I love your vedios because its cool to see how people in America target fish and the similarities and differences between targeting methods. My favourite method is catching fish on surface lures, especially Murray Cod ( native river fish) 😏👍

[@p.j.4307]

I’ve been watching your videos for a while and I just love every video. I’m no good at fishing but your videos are always fun to watch

[@Timeren2010]

Except for the part where he said, "cut the line up", and as i understood it, throw it in the ocean.....thats just fucked up.

[@hunterthompson6295]

@@Timeren2010 no i don't think he means throw it into the ocean. Im preety sure he means as you dispose of it. As in throw it away, if its cut up it wont be a tangled mess for any critter.

[@hunterthompson6295]

@@MrUKFred some local Mom and Pop bait/tackle stores might do something similar in the U.S . But I havent heard of any organization/charity in the U.S, that wants my old fishing line. Maybe its just the midwest where im from 🤷‍♂️. It could be more a prominent thing near the Ocean coasts. Thats cool that the U.K has a nice program like that.

[@uno3290]

@@MrUKFred yeahs in FL(a lot of fishing here) there’s a lot of stands for old line and old fishing gear that you don’t want so you can dispose of it, but some people are careless but what can we do about it, just do our part!

Hi! I'm new to fishing and I'm so happy I came across your channel! Great information!

[@mathalwaysii]

Thanks. Your video helps a lot. Wish we have someone we know that can teach us in person. My kids wanted to try fishing and both my husband and I know nothing about it. Last time we went we didn't know what to do but hope for luck and of course got nothing. Now watching your videos with my kids to learn more before we go again next time.

Thank you so much for all the great advice just makes a lot of sense hearing it from a experienced fisherman

[@HeySkipper]

Happy to help:)

[@mfrank3518]

With braid I also like the clinch knot. But a tip is to make three or four simple overhand knots afterwards. It doesn’t hurt anything to do this on braid but will help with knot slipping undone. Leave a little longer tag end than usual as well on the swivel. A drop of superglue is a bonus.

[@coolcatswearinghats]

Such a great video. Headed down to Miami for a vacation and looking to get on some pier fishing but i’m huge freshwater guy from Michigan. Perfect info my man!

Very cool video! I don’t live by a pier but if I did, I’d be watching this again before going to fishing.

[@Fusterclucked00]

Thank you for that statement at the end. It infuriates me when I see people keeping every single thing they bring up out of the ocean. They'll say "I don't eat them, I'll probably just give it to friends/family/etc" and you know damn well they're just going to freeze it until it's no good anymore. I get people asking me all the time "you're not keeping it?!" when I catch a small bass or something. Wtf am I gonna do with one tiny fish?

[@mileshardin6906]

[@michaeltheis9473]

I have really enjoyed your videos and I am glad I found you and subscribed to your channel. I really appreciate how you bring your father with you in whatever adventure you start. My father and I had the same relationship, and if he hadn't have brought me as a little boy on his fishing trips I may never have known the beauty of the water. Good Job! Later in life he lived with me and I brought him when ever I went "in the north country." This is a Minnesota thing! Haha. Land of 10,000 lakes remember? Anyway, the both of you are eloquent, speak very well, keep it clean, and keep me interested. Keep up the good work guys!

[@HeySkipper]

Thank you! It’s so nice to hear that you connect the same way with your father. It’s true if our fathers didn’t take us fishing when we were kids, we might not have been able to have this experience!
