Using POPULAR Surf Fishing Baits! HOOKED HUGE FISH!

We caught something BIG. Learn which fishing bait to use while beach fishing as we go through popular fishing baits and how to use each bait on the hook in order to catch more fish. Clams, squid, shrimp, spot, and mullet are all effective at catching fish but presentation matters. Comment below which is your favorite fishing bait to use?
We are beach fishing in North Carolina with my mom and dad this week, and I’m happy to be able to show my mom how to use bait on the beach to catch fish together. Beach fishing is a fun activity for the whole family. We weren’t expecting to catch such a big fish but that’s what makes fishing fun! You never know what you’re going to get.

[@HeySkipper]

hey, guys! we're super excited to share tonight's episode with you and chat during the premiere! COMMENT BELOW and tell us: what is the biggest fish you've ever caught and what did you use to catch it?

[@Gorfo978]

Caught a 20lbs Horn Shark on a chunky Atlantic Mackerel Filet in Manhattan Pier here in California. I did a dropper loop on a 2/0 Mustad Demon Circle Hook. 30lbs Mono(P-Line). Also congrats on that great fight! The fact that you were fighting such a big creature on 20lbs line is HUGEEE. Skilled anglers 100%!!!

[@jimmycurameng8585]

i am just a small time angler, my biggest catch is a 1/2 keg cat fish at Laguna Lake here in Biñan City, accidental catch, salvage, hooked at the side rib of the fish....

[@hectorscustomrods2606]

150lb bat ray in california.

[@scangling64]

Can you do some inedible fishing like for sharks ? That's would be a nice change up

[@dylancroes8969]

You need to work better with bigger fish, you need to let the waves bring the fish in not you the line wil snap from the waves going bek out

[@Mr40tt]

I love it when your family, and especially your mom is with you.

[@catch3023]

You’ve inspired me to do more saltwater fishing than I’ve ever done

[@MessianicJudaism]

I've always wanted to do surf casting. Being from the PNW, we dont have a wide variety of fish like I see from his shows. But our sea perch are hugely massive in size. I can't wait to get out there and get some.

[@andrewwolf4963]

Same

[@robertvillanueva9675]

Even though y’all didn’t catch the shark y’all will always have the story and sometimes that’s better then any catch 👍🏼

[@craigwjones22]

Father giving son some knowledge on how to bring sharks in from the surf.

[@Bedsheet_Necktie]

🦈 What a family effort ! It could have been one person working the fish resulting in 1 memory but instead 4 memory's can be shared equally for years to come. Your Dad's wisdom was spot on. Your gear was not intended for that and you "All" worked within the constraints you had. Well done 👍

[@darrenjames3265]

My heart broke as soon as I heard the line snap.....great fight Brother!!!!

[@NuGrungeMetal]

Skipper you’re honestly one of the most entertaining fisherman I ever watched. I watch plenty of your videos and other fisherman. You’re very educated, and you teach consistently, and people gravitate to you. You will get 1 million subs soon! Cheers

[@henrygarrison1613]

I'm a surf fishing nut, only have the chance 1 time a year, living in Illinois. My wife and friends don't get it! It's so addictive, being on the beach is awesome by it self! Fishing makes it soooo much more fun, and you're always busy! Luv your videos! At least I can watch you fish.....

[@dustinedwards8032]

I’m a fishaholic haha it’s like the best drug I’ve ever done I swear 😂😂

[@tobyhatch2547]

wanting to show mom how to bait the hook...are you excited? They look good for dinner! 🤣Dude, I absolutely love your mom!

[@shakeme3290]

What an exciting video Skipper!! The whole family got to “Get Some” of that giant shark. Priceless!!

[@andyly2930]

Look at skipper man, so inspirational

[@stormgarcia5733]

S/o your dad such a positive man!

[@m.antoinette3410]

There is no way on gods green earth it’s worth risking injury. Is there a special shoreline shark fishing gear to where you don’t have to risk getting hurt? That was awesome to watch...What a lovely family 🥰I love your channel!

[@eulisesacevedo4929]

Yeah it's pretty much only two options if it's close enough you drag it out backwards by its tail. If you're not familiar enough or too scared you can lasso it with a strong enough rope around its tail to give you distance between it and drag it out that way

[@Mb1_siba]

Hi sis how are u look this page for fishing

[@choyandpia9415]

Best outing is family outing... Family that fish together, stays together :)

[@MikeMcInroe]

What a great family time and love to see the interaction between you all. Great adventure and thanks for sharing! Mike in sunny Florida.

[@josephlobato5408]

So awesome you’re spending time fishing with your mom and dad

[@floridaboy3432]

When you catch a massive fish like that make sure to walk back not while it's fighting, awesome Video!

[@matiaslatapiat7152]

0:42 the squid looks like the guts of the mullet xd

[@hackattack7811]

Nice job with the shark. Like your dad said, it was a miracle you got him in that close with 20lb braid. That was a big fish, probably 200 lbs.

[@fredfable5655]

Nice Job? It was a shame!!!!

[@seamonkeyfishing8975]

Love that you went camping/fishing with parents i miss those days, growing up those were the best vacations in the summer. Sucks that the shark broke you off you were definitely not set up for that but still it was a fun day im sure

[@MrTalkingzero]

I love your videos and your passion for fishing and teaching but this video was especially exciting because of the beach the long struggle, the shark and the family all around you. Hey, Skipper, you're fantastic!

[@iiwuybyk11]

I thought the octopussy was the guts from the mullet lol

[@cesar-hs1xe]

Same 😂😂

[@tuttabob]

That was a super fish that defeated the whole family.. I do no think that fish was willing to be caught.. you guys did everything possible. Thank you skipper family for sharing this 💘 😻 💜 💛 💚 🧡

[@rjhtigerfan1]

I love this video. Your parents re so enjoyable.

[@anthonylee6322]

Love your Mom ! And it's Norfork Spot . I like spot and menhaden better than mullet . If I use mullet the fingerings better than the large.

[@henkvanrooyen5213]

We in South Africa usually fish with a shock leader of about 8m / 24ft ranging in strength from 40pd upwards. We also use the fish finder rig, but both leader and sinker line can be up to a 1m long. If we specifically target sharks we use a bite trace of approximately 30cm / 6in of between 60 to120pd nylon coated wire / fish mate or similar.

[@FACTSONLIT]

10:21 great answer for explaining how to tell the difference from wave action vs fish action.

[@S1CKTR1CKY]

Just needed to get in there and grab the tail lol

[@alohadiver1979]

these are probably the most exiting and helpful vids on fishing ever

[@JuanGutierrez-vm3iz]

Love you videos thanks 🙏 and god bless you and your family

[@shaqbrown5473]

Fishing with your parents..priceless my man👍🏾🎣🎣 🐠🐟🦐

[@carlstanoyevic3070]

Nice catch really cool too see such a nice fish in so close, I believe it’s crazy to get in the water with such a creature it has the advantage over you in it’s domain. Great video. Thanks

[@joshuaroach1834]

I’ve been fishing SC beaches my whole life and this dude has all the tips. Great work!

[@vidalmarmolejo9225]

Your dads the man

[@joyfuljenny9936]

You have inspired me to go saltwater fishing! I have been freshwater fishing (again) since 2018, such a joy to rediscover something I loved doing as a child and into my early teens. Now I am teaching my grandkids, but I've been intimidated by saltwater fishing. Thanks to your tutorials, I think I'm ready to give it a go. Even purchased some of your salty bits to improve my odds of catching. What fun it will be, especially to show my grandkids the wonder of saltwater fishing!! Thanks and tight lines!!!

[@r11j21s71]

Next time try adding a steel leader, when using a big bait. I think you could have had a better chance of landing it. That was still awesome!! Much love to your family!!! Your mom is awesome!!

[@urielcarreon1650]

What an awesome video! Great family experience you had that ya'll will remember for a long time. Keep up the great content!

[@thadeckhoff5153]

Your pops is a wise man.

[@tiaanswart1259]

No matter if you lost it that was a great jhob guys relly that was team work

[@josephtucci1872]

Nice family team work.. grab his tail. Listen to dad

[@johannesernharth1939]

Love your channel! My explanation for rod tips with fish vs. not is 1) fish with more than 1 rod 2) they will move in sympathy with the waves with normal distance between rods, so if one is a good bit out of sync with the other rod tip(s), check your line!

[@spacecoastsurffishing1726]

GREAT VIDEO, I CAUGHT A 6 FOOT HAMMERHEAD ON A LIGHT TACKLE WITH 10LB BRAIDED. IT TOOK ME 45+ MINUTES TO LAND THE BEAST.WHAT A RUSH!

[@iansaints862]

I’m so excited to go to Hatteras on spring break, I’ll be right by point lookout! After watching your vids I think I’ll have a successful fishing trip.

[@stephenboyd3321]

That. Was. EPIC!!! Erin KILLED IT!!!

[@michaellopez790]

you should make a video of you just fishing and having a good time, i think it’s time to take a break from how to’s for a couple episodes 👍🏽 love your channel man!

[@lulzimmuhaxheri1251]

[@vozamaraktv-art5595]

9:14 that view is just beautiful !!!

[@kemarrfishing424]

Been watching your vids for a little bit and I just love the excitement of this video. I’m from Galveston, Tx. And we fish for big bull reds and massive shark and there’s no other feeling like hooking into a massive fish!

[@cheza7061]

That was a great team effort. You, Erin, mum & dad are great fun.🎣😎🐟

[@reedcollins3343]

She was “spot on” lol

[@R49678]

I love your dad!!! So awesome ❤️🙏🏼

[@markusrottbeck3177]

*Great item. First cast out of the package caught a nice bass. Pulls smooth in the water and sets up nicely immediately upon retrieval. Worth adding to your tackle box.*

[@geraldgallardo4494]

You are amazing, I have used your techniques to catch so many keep-able fish surf-side. Keep it up!!!

[@matt78408]

Your mom is so awesome!!

[@deseanwhite8673]

Love from Milwaukee, Wisconsin

[@emrahdemirci7160]

Shrimp is the best universal bait. Experience. Awesome job guys. Hope to fish there in 2021. Thanks for the great videos. Thumbs up from England.

[@AR.K.051]

Excellent vid mate and you mom is a wonderful lady......👍

[@phillyfaceske5835]

Epic every time I watch this vlog... there is nothing like a peace of mind!!! And a good time.. Respect 🙌

[@wbwills2]

Y’all are the best.

[@channehemiah1501]

[@durtanipzmcgee9943]

Your parents are a hoot ! Subscriber for years , you still have great content !

[@BasicFishingNZ]

awesome video! that huge take at 0:!3 was epic as! so exciting to capture that scene especially wen you least expect it. but that was a total team effort haha a shame you weren't able to land the shark but still at least u saw it.

[@AJ-ln4sm]

Bucket list fishing trip for me. Great video!

[@titorivera1369]

Watching your videos has me excited for warmer weather... It sucks living in NYC during the winter time...

[@gevinzongaco0914]

It's always a delight for me now to watch Sir Brendon and Ma'am Erin while on a fish hunt. Btw, does Sir Brendon have Asian origin? He looks like a Filipino to me. 😊

[@jpnicholls888]

Parents might be from Hong Kong by their accent. Just guessing.

[@tabshiftescape]

Brendon preps bait for his fish more carefully than I prep my own meals. Mad respect.

[@richardsmith5477]

This looked great, entire teamwork on this one to land the 🦈. ~Only went fishin with twenty pound test~yo ho ho and a bottle of rum

[@abellinofisherman]

Thanks mate for the tips

[@jamesloerzel4377]

My absolute favorite piece of cut bait... the head...

[@jeff3971]

I caught about a 5 ft sandbar shark, around 120 lbs off a jetty on Cape Cod. It was about 4 in the morning with rough, terrible conditions. I used a full mackerel and it took it out in less than five minutes of hitting the water. It's such a great feeling, and the anticipation of seeing your rod bend, peeling off that line.

[@fabiangarza2640]

Great video and love the way you guys have fun out there it's awesome!

[@joshuaroach1834]

“It’s not what you wanna do with the shark, it’s what the shark wanna do with you.” Words to live by. 😹😹😹

[@Papatabb69]

You have such a beautiful family you're all so passionate and excited for each other. We should all learn to treat people with this much enthusiasm that you all show! Great video, amazing catches, very impressive 👏 💜💜

[@Crazyweazelbear]

I feel you skipper I’ve been there. Sorry for the loss.

[@joshrobertphotography]

I love these family type videos. You have such a lovely family and I really enjoy watching you guys!

[@TripFishingMyLife]

Thanks .. Good bait sharing.. 👍

[@horaciocastillo3082]

WHAT A FUNNY FISHING!!

[@alvinwalker5247]

I think You guys did a wonderful job with that shark! Outstanding

[@gustavodavila8425]

Why do I like to fish? Come on man that a no brainer!!!🐟🐟🐟

[@paulwylie989]

Your Mom is a hoot. Great tips

[@rebepalma2430]

That’s so cool bro 💯🙏🙏 I wanna take my mom fishing 😩

[@arielpoholek5836]

That was definitely amazing that you guys got a shark that size in so close on 20 lb test, good job!

[@jasonmoore6419]

Just watched this video... you're mom and dad is kool! Good work on the shark bro! Team work!

[@jepoydsfishing5280]

Thats a good job! Sooooo close!!

[@ALMRomero]

I use ghost Crabs as bait, that way I don't bother with Sharks and Moray Eels. But that's in Puerto Rico. Good fishing.

[@eliasmayans2433]

Would u ever do a video. To try to catch a small shark and teach us what bait to use?

[@henkvanrooyen5213]

Have you ever tried bluefish as cut bait for your bigger coastal species like red and black drum or tried to keep the fish guts with a chunk bait for more smell in your bait presentation? Thanks for all your effort in making your clips entertaining and informative.

[@planecrazyish]

That was a beast of a shark! That fin was BIG! You guys did a brilliant job of bringing him in. As your Dad said, when that monster hit the sand, the friction would have made it impossible to drag it out any further.

[@henrique231100]

What a nice episode !!! Very good !!!

[@gilaspinoytv]

tanks for the tips master🐠😁

[@omarfranco1319]

Very well done friend, that shark brought so close enough to show that your bait was the appropriate one, congratulations great video.

[@jimmycurameng8585]

you have to release it anyway, the good thing is all tried to experience how it was...fr Laguna Philippines...good vedeo!

[@agusserangbanten]

Thank you so much my Friend information bait fishing.👍👍👍🎣
