The timing on this couldn't be more appropriate. I live in Ohio. We have a close cousin to this fish, the freshwater drum, all over lake erie and it's tributaries. They DO get as big as the one you got here, but that's rare. Most of the big ones run in the 25-30 inch range, and if you get one much bigger, it's rare. Anyhow, was out in the canoe yesterday fishing for whatever would bite on a minnow, in about 12 feet of water, just inside the break wall in East Harbor, at the western end of Lake Erie. Ultralight rod and reel, but I have it spooled with 8lb test. The thin braided stuff. anyhow, something hits it, starts pulling off line... and just like you I went for a ride for about 10 minutes. Finally got it up and there we are... big big freshwater drum. Didnt' have a scale with me but he measured 31 inches anyhow. Hoisting his rear end into the canoe was a pain. Most fun I've had canoe fishing in a long time! :)

[@mainaccount5658]

Hello from teledo

[@Reed-qf6kz]

jonklei1 I like to call those sheep head lol. But if you hook a good one it's a very nice fight.

[@jacobchittom7564]

[@shawntyson4339]

jonklei1 The drum that you're talking about is closer to carp and white buffalo not red or black drums.

[@corbvn373]

i kept thinking your boat was gonna tip lol

[@TrailChaser]

wouldn't be to first time it tipped.

[@corbvn373]

TrailChaser ha do you have any videos up of it id like to see that

[@TrailChaser]

I don't. wasn't running the camera either time. I only take the cameras about 10% of the time.

[@corbvn373]

ahh that sucks you should just get one and mount it to the boat so you dont forget it

[@BerserkCube-ys1mh]

+TrailChaser was that a stripe

[@captainembers4521]

Why is watching people fish so addicting to watch

[@notnedmac8897]

Because you want to fish but don't have time XD

[@TheUNDRGND]

Its because of the adrenaline rush that you experience while catching fish...

[@captainembers4521]

hm

[@vivimu]

because you are excited to see what is pulled out of the water.

[@joshsmall4444]

I'm not even a Fisher really and i stayed and watched the whole thing, but fish, nice catch, for a while he turned your kayak into a motor boat,lmao!

[@generalfreighttrain801]

I caught an 8lb carp on 4lb test ultra light 2 Septembers ago, took me 28min to get him. 2 weeks ago, same 4lb test ultra light I was slaying smallies and stripers at the dam, but something big took my line instantly out inot the super swift current....there was nothing I could do and it slaughtered my line. I suspect it was a massive hybrid striper. Then last month I caught a 47" 46lb flathead, and a week later a 45" 43lb flathead on my cheap ass $17.99 Matzuo with 50lb test spider wire and I more or less was able to manhandle em...lol!

[@Grimjar]

I was watching in and thought that you would be in Europe at this rate

[@5RustyBin]

dayum - that's one superb fish - light tackle and foul hooked - no wonder he gave you such a fight - great vid - brave man standing up to weigh it lol.

[@KawiAddict46]

+Christian Rivera Yeah when I was really little, (spent my first 12 years in cocoa) I caught about a 60 lb red drum right across the bay from the big NASA building, and it was the craziest thing ever hearing it thump. and we knew a cook at rum runners, so we took it in and they did the filet and cooked some for us. Awsome experience.

[@edbland1993]

i knew what you had pretty soon after you played him. only thing it could have been. my wife caught one off long bar near south padre island that was 36. i haven't caught another kind of fish that acts like that. a red would have been dead tired before this thing and would have been running and not staying so low. that fish doesn't want to come up. but you kept the crowd guessing. i use the 2500 with gulp as well and i live on the bay. boat and bay 30 feet from my bed. i've caught a few rays with gulp. been a while.

[@jerryscarbrough7746]

Hell of a fish. It wore me out just watching. Didn't think it would ever give up. Pretty exciting! The biggest drum I ever caught was on a set line in Kansas. 16 pounds.

[@wrthrash]

Excellent release, great brood-stock and as you said, aside from any worms, he's been eating god knows what for god knows how long. Same with catfish, let 'em go if they are over 20 lbs.

[@AntiGem]

wrthrash I caught a 35 pound catfish before.. I ate it fried

[@wrthrash]

Oh I've harvested 40 pounders, but we catch so many that we started releasing any over 20. BUT we will keep a 30 pounder occasionally for the big filets.

Thats not a sheepshead,its a black drum.

spoiler :P

[@tonydavila2606]

+TrailChaser fresh water or saltwater?!!

[@jackrockwell6698]

I'm in New Jersey. I grew up fishing on the Delaware Bay. In May, we see black drum up to 80lbs. In the fall, we catch what we call puppy drum which are the black drum that were born that spring (I believe). The puppy drum have the dark bars running down the side the way sheepshead do. People confuse them all the time. The barbels on the chin are the best way to tell the difference.

[@bertuscoetzee889]

Hahaha i like this video.

[@Lightwish01]

Fishing from a kayak in the ocean is actually pretty dumb. Didn't you see the video where a guy caught a massive fish that was bleeding and splashing around when a great white shark came up and ate it? After he ate it, he then went on to ATTACK THE KAYAK. I mean if that guy had flipped the boat he would have definitely been attacked and probably eaten. Instead the shark managed to take some big chunks out of the kayak.

[@TrailChaser]

Everyone should live inside a bubble inside a bombproof shelter...you know..to be "safe".

[@andrewsflyfishing9578]

Nice fish! You have some kind of balance there! Enjoyed watching!

[@Blee48]

nice catch. enjoy it when people actually take care when release the fish to ensure it is strong enough to swim back down to get some oxygen

[@mrservivle8348]

Those fish are so easy plus thats a sheep head

[@TrailChaser]

Definitely not a sheepshead. Good one, made me chuckle a little.

[@christian-wt5tp]

Why tf do you even comment things like that lol

[@chasefoster9651]

possable, but that was a big fish non the less. tou dont have to be rude about it man

[@geoboy081]

Actually that is a black drum and those fish are not easy I catch ones around 40+ lbs where I'm from

[@chasefoster9651]

Wow. Im not much of a fisher so the biggest ive cought wasnt even 10 pounds. But 40 pounds isnt a small fish

[@hanswurscht327]

The best thing you can do to a fish you plan to release is to deny the fish oxygen after a breathtaking fight.

[@idontuploadjustwatch]

it's better than killing it on purpose, would you rather him do that, if it managed to swim away then it's fine

[@idontuploadjustwatch]

+Hans Wurscht Why are you so angry? You must be grasping at straws if your first rebuttal is insulting me. secondly, fish DO in fact handle stress better than others, so being that it manages to fight for several minutes and it swimming when released shows me that it is a remarkably strong fish. so now your entire counterattack falls apart.

[@hanswurscht327]

Nope, it doesnt. If a fish swims away after being caught doesnt mean he's going to survive the next days. There are studys and observations that show exactly that. My point is: if you want to release fish, handle them as carefully as possible. Get a big landing net, leave them in the water to unhook them, simply minimize the time they are not in the water. They fought for their lifes, they need to breath. And no, im not a treefucker, i`m a fisherman myself. If you want to eat the fish, kill it asap.

[@BandiGetOffTheRoof]

Hans is an angry elf.

[@canadiancryptidscanadasbea8335]

+Hans Wurscht the depth and the stress of the fight itself has alot to do with a fish surviving

[@ivanmabini88]

i could of ate that fish fir 3 days

[@BananaCereal]

U cant eat it its full of worms

[@imquizzy157]

+Abdullah Kharouf why does it have worms

[@vinylpony7835]

That's a black drum, I caught one at Port Mansfield East Cut South Texas. It weighed around 35#, was 40 inches long. Caught it using Cajin Line red line 12# test. Fought it from the bank around 45 minutes. Awesome fish, heck of a fight.

[@inletreg4844]

I was thinking you would lose this fish at the end. Was not expecting you to land it honestly just from reading the title. Lol great vid:)

[@LiteBolbz]

only a good fishermen can land a fish like that! it's even harder to land a fish hooked like that! great catch!

[@punkinnmann82]

Good sized drum. I live on the Arkansas River, which is a major tributary of the Mississippi, and we consider drum a nuisance fish, or trash fish, that can ruin your cat fishing in a hurry. Fun to catch the big ones though!

[@baronbaryonyx8105]

This reminds me of when I caught a 65 pound Grass carp on 6 pound test fishing for Bluegills, foul hooked and it took 2 hours to bring in.

[@localbtsfancam]

Actually, you were right about the oysters walking away. They don't have anything to swim with, but they do have very thin "arms" in their mouths that they will put out in order to move or catch prey.

[@boltthr0w3r29]

Lol “River Monster Show” crossed my mind

As long as it stays away from the pier... enjoy the ride!

[@nickbackup8189]

i love this channel! I love fishing, been fishing since i was 3. My biggest fish was a 36 inch, 15 pound Striped Bass off of sandy point in plum island! im definetly setting alerts for this channel, fishing is awesome! You have earned a new sub and a like!

[@stinkyfungus]

suggestion, leave the drag alone - instead snub the spool with your reel hand when you haul back on your pump, release and reel in the gained line, that way if he runs during your pump, you just move your hand off the spool. reeling against the drag on a spinning reel just puts twists in your line. in a yak you have the advantage that the fish can tow you, so its harder for him to break you off. I've conqured some pretty rowdy pelagic fish in a kayak here in hawaii. just saying.

[@Clockworkmob83]

Thought it was a big ray for sure. Nice blk drum. Great vid

[@judgetk8327]

[@billhard2015]

I had a similar experience once - after a half hour on 12# test and never seeing the fish the captain said it must be a ray and wanted to cut it off. I said not till I saw it after that long. After 45 minutes I reeled in a 35" redfish. The damn scale only went to 20# so I'm guessing there but I got to let him go to fight another day. Just maybe...
