Which Will Catch More Fish?? Ep. 2 Berkley Gulp! Sandworm VS. Frozen Shrimp!

[@samh4532]

Sounds like everyone wants "catch and cook" I just want Matt to keep teaching me everything about fishing. Thanks for putting out the content!

[@dominiccagliero8106]

Awesome video bud. New to fishing but I found hooking tiny pieces of shrimp on a sabiki rig and just dropping it down below a pier was effective for catching perch. I once hooked all 6.

[@OCNorton]

Really enjoy your channel as it helps me someone being a person who fishes the California coast as well.

[@armandorjusino]

A very well performed experiment, those worms are vastly underrated, thank you for the great video.

[@JsilntParkour90]

"Haha, so small I could barely feel it" haha... that's what she said :'(

[@abelmartinez111]

Your videos are a joy to watch! They are real and honest documents and fun at the same time. Love the beach and coast environments! Keep up the good work!

[@healanimatthews1140]

I have an important comment for you. When i was diving near the shoreside in hawaii i saw a huge visual diffrence from fake bait to real bait as the fishermen casted their rigs. The fish went more after the bait that looked more pleasing to the eye. The bait worms were pale vs the fake worms that were bright red. The fish loved the fake worms for the vision and they loved the bait shrimp for the smell in the water and the fact that that peice of shrimp looked like it was torn off of something that was just killed and the small fish like to look for leftovers from such incidents.

[@hmoob704]

4:55 that's what she said lol....

[@Jordymonn]

Hey Matts, I love you videos man and don't listen do everyone who says only do catch and cook! If they were real fans they would get excited to watch anything you post!

[@mariomorales8187]

I used to not like your videos but they grew on me and I just had to sub. I know every video can't be a catch and cook but next catch and cook video you post is getting a thumbs up from me. Catch n cook catch n cook catch n cook

[@rainmariano5423]

Hey Matts, wanted to chime in real quick that I 100% support whatever C&R you do. Hope everything has been groovy otherwise.

[@gavinnosler6028]

I used to use those bigger weights and larger reels for surf perch, but I started using a tiny size 500 reel with 4 lb. line and a small weight and it's way more fun. You have to constantly reel in slowly to keep some tension on the line since the waves bring it back in, but you cover a lot of ground. I recommend giving it a try. Also I don't think I've seen you catching any halibut in the surf. I prefer hardbaits like LuckyCraft, but leadheads work just as well. Halibut from the surf is so much fun.

[@BayandBeyondFishing]

Lol I bought those Berkeley sand crabs back when I started fishing (March) and haven't really caught anything, although I haven't tried it too often; you'd think they have the texture of a softshell though! I've been getting super skunked the past month using Berkely Gulp Sandworms... too stubborn to use bait but I think I'll have to switch to shrimp soon just to get my morale up lol. Thanks for the sub Matts; Maybe my next video will be to attempt to catch solely on Berkely Gulp Sandcrabs for science. As always, great vid, tight lines. Cheers!

[@joshverts188]

First Fishermans Life videos I've watched in a couple weeks🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@alexanderx33]

Ahh the bluegill of the sea.

[@BradGryphonn]

Interesting test. I bought some dried sandworms (can't recall the brand name) once and the fish went nuts for them. I'm going to hunt them down again, or just go to a bait shop I know a few K's (miles) away that I know sells fresh sandworm. I think the worms are a fish favourite. I've found that fowl gut works well for Bream over here in Australia. Probably because it self berleys (chums).

[@x-anferny-x4948]

I LOVE THESE VIDEO BECAUSE I CAN LEARN MORE ABOUT FISHING U GIVE MORE AND MORE NEW AWESOME IDEAS SO KEEP UP THE NEWW IDEAS PLEASE I NEED TO BE A PROFESIONAL FISHERMAN LIKE YOU!!!

[@FishingOBXandVB]

I find that position on a double hook rig will make a difference as well. I typically get more bites on the bottom hook with the same bait.

[@phiology1983]

Thanks for sharing both perspective on fake and real baits. I use both, depending what I'm fishing for.

[@devilkicln]

A bit of advise, peel the shrimp and use the meat only. That is a more efficient way of catching fish with shrimp. Personal experience.

[@noobrich-je9rj]

I'm a new subscriber and I can't get enough of your videos! Keep up the good work!

[@FishermansLife]

Thanks!!

[@mryang3644]

Just bought myself a 9ft SST prior to this video. Hopin to test it this weekend.

[@thebigfresh1877]

These comparison videos are great! Thx for doing it.

[@GodsMushroom]

Would have never tried a berkley gulp had I not seen this🎣

[@jimmierhartman4675]

Use those little cooked shrimp.They have by far and away been a staple for me when perch fishing and they always produce.

[@ajdotthizz1]

Matts have u thought about using ur drone to get a top down view of us casting and where ur cast lands ?

[@spacemonkey282]

I love my okuma SST! Hooking into steelys on it is more fun though

[@stayingoffthegrid3844]

Hey bro, I dig your show.I think I fished with you before in Monterey.anyways here's a tip with the sandworms ..if you want to catch giant olive rockcod from the shore then rig your line with a 2-3 foot leader and sliding weight .cast over a kelp bed with a slow jigging retrieve if you don't have an olive by the time your line gets to the edge of the kelp bed then let it gig about 5 feet from the top and you will serrisuly piss off a big olive.😆 Do that tecneque at the coast guard pier in Monterey and I garunte you will fill up your bucket quick ✌️ Jason Sherry

[@chew2elah]

I'd love to fish with you. I know I'd learn a lot more than just in your videos. Keep up the awesome vids.

[@colhourpower]

I seen your pic at gus discount tackle with lingcod, they spoke nice about you. I told them you mentioned them in vid and they were happy, i fished for perch lady weekend at bakers

[@AKPOWER]

From my experience of surf perch fishing I always get fish and bites more on the sandworms than shrimp.

[@bigworm5479]

Try blood worm they work the best for perch!! I have used and won surf derbys!!

[@panda21hawj20]

Yes i think it depends on where you fish im down South and fish alot at pismo Beach and sandcrab works great. Not say sandworms dont work but for me its all about the sandcrab. Thats just my opinion.

[@terryxiong]

If you watch deer meat for dinner and taradara bros you guys all should collab

[@nightcritterz]

The first time I went out surf fishing for perch I used the gulp sandworm bait, I was pleasantly surprised how well it worked.

[@whitetaildarling3433]

Just found your channel! I love it! I just came back from a trip to Vancouver Island and caught my first salmon.. I can't wait to do more ocean fishing

[@mwitdaskillzgaming3126]

Catch and cook catch and cook catch and cook catch and cook catch and cook CATCH AND COOK

[@jhvghjgjkhlihli]

🐟👨‍🍳

[@kieferroche1995]

What he said.

[@joecastillo1983]

Yes leave the challenges and comparisons to other channels, you my friend are the catch and cook maestro

[@FrankensteinsCastle]

Truth! Was the reason i started watching in the first place. Catch and cook a seal please.

[@ChuSupport]

Dave Garcia nonononono xD

[@craign7995]

Just a suggestion but it would be helpful if you could share with your viewers on how to identify the location of troughs in the surfline. Keep up the great videos!

[@marpar3971]

go out and experiment thats the best teacher

[@ester2885]

I love your catch and cook video matt..catch and cook video pleaseeee....

[@doctoredable]

Stinson Beach is beautiful. With a Carolina rig it would seem both baits are on the bottom since the weight is above the baits unlike the high low rig.

[@richwood8538]

Another quality episode! Have you tried dipping your bait in butter? Just a little bit. lol

[@ong3995]

I woke up in the morning I got perch on my mind, rockfish halibut salmon, I got greenlings on the line.

[@kylogged]

This is fire😂💯

[@chimyshark]

awesome experiment! You even controlled for location of the bait! very impressive. Edit** You even realized at the end that the fish size caught on the shrimp could have been an outlier and that it's not statistically significant! You learned all this through personal experiences? You could've been a scientist! haha

[@charliehoffman2992]

Man I love all your vids Keep it up BTW can you do more trout catch n cooks I loved those vids🤙🤙

[@jisozaki]

I enjoy your videos a lot and always recommend you to my friends. The one thing that's usually missing from your videos is hook size. I'm new to salt-water fishing so I would love to learn what size and type hooks you're using in your videos. thanks!

[@ryot340]

Thanks Matt, appreciate the comparative videos

[@juancoriano3275]

nice ! the weather looked tight

[@theoldsurffisher1943]

An enjoyable video. Those little dinks love the sand worms. Why smaller, scent? Many times they will just peck off the tip or part below hook.

[@crismolko9182]

do more videos about catch and cook!!!!! those videos are awesome!!!!! :D

[@owenwalsh6528]

Just saying I really like your videos but......If you want your channel to start growing faster try doing more catch and cook videos because those get you the most views. I think we all ca agree we really want catch and cooks.

[@mandyliu246]

And also his camping videos👍

[@williambenner5550]

Ocean pearch is great to eat!

[@ikstrucking3289]

Owen Walsh catch and cook is fine, but look at it, most ppl let fish go. And not nessessarily because they are so humane. Ppl are plain lazy to take on the task to clean, prepare, and cook that fish, even though in the age of Internet there is no shortage in how to online. Ppl hate to admit it, but the laziness, and unwillingness to get dirty is the 90 plus % of a reason why fish swims away free. Not a bad thing, on the other side, it keeps a better fishery for me! Especially when we r talking freshwater. Catch n release definitely keeps the fisheries. So in conclusion ppl who appreciate a good fry should be happy others are lazy, lol That said, there are folks genuinely letting fish go because they want it alive. Cudos to those ppl too

[@trampster7306]

Hi Owen - catch & cook videos are great, but in order to cook a fish, you have to catch it first, and any video showing tackle comparisons & the best way to do this have to be good too.

[@01ericowen]

Nice video and bait catch comparison.

[@gman3224]

Another great video! Starting to learn a lot !

[@GLK2240CAL]

I enjoy all your videos, more catch and cook please or crab catch and cook

[@kenny123113]

YES! Hi Matts, I was looking for a good surf or rockfish rod, but I couldn't find out how long your Power Stick is . . . until now! I will be ordering an 8ft tonight :) You'll probably never read this, but I love your content (I was at your giveaway in Cotati!). Anyways, maybe i'll see you at Half Moon or Coyote Point!

[@Jims_Adventures]

Catch and cook! Nice content none the less

[@nunomachado1063]

Awesome video thanks for tips going to sunset beach this weekend in Watsonville . Going to do the same set up hopefully I can catch some thanks

[@dillonfishing]

[@mrkuksoolwon]

I love your comparison videos keep it up !!

[@gustavocruz674]

Finally a video.....👍😄

[@BIGVICTOR2023]

Great video man.

[@izzy7367]

I love your videos! Keep up the good work

[@thomas1619]

Great fish and great video

[@JAMEYX]

I just realized how close you are to me, and im going perch fishing today.

[@boichicken1341]

ur vids are amazing dude keep it up with the great work

[@mdafcker]

What kind of cooler bag is that?? Love the videos man! Keep it up!! Catch some butter and cook it on a little bit of fish.

[@Idtelos]

Ghost shrimp are excellent bait for perch.

[@anallstar3386]

catch and cook with avocado and 2083930283 kg butter 👍😁🖒

[@thetopteamlawncare1255]

Catch and cook, great videos

[@izzy7367]

Do you think the fish are getting smaller and smaller every year?

[@zacharykirkpatrick2921]

Love your vids

[@itsFahdoii]

9:25 that guy full of babies 😂😂

[@devonjohnson7386]

Do Berkeley gulp sand worm vs big hammer perch grubs!!!!

[@redgtscoupe]

should do comparison on berkley gulp & hammer grubs

[@AlexG-dg1mp]

Hey I love your videos and I think everyone would love an overview of all your backpacking gear!!!

[@bennettmontgomery7519]

This is a great video please don't listen to all the people yelling at you to do more catch and cooks. While I like them I also like these videos too. Just keep making the videos you want to make

[@israelrivas134]

Nice! I kept on getting nibbles on the getty, you should try it there! What's better bait lol. They all prego!

[@3cushionbilliardcalifornia908]

Proof test should be two guys fishing in the same spots with different baits, if you want to catch big fish then use larger baits.i’ve used only peel shrimp to catch perch, they’re work great, will test out real blood worm and artificial one soon.

[@seanhenry614]

Love these videos

[@sfopeace9877]

The fact is that perch has to be present at that beach... If no perch is around.... No matter what type of bait u used ..

[@danamezjohn]

Could you make a video on how to read the beach on finding holes under the surf?

[@FishingAdventuresDubai]

Great video bro. As always. I never knew that such fish gave birth to babies. I thoguht the spawn eggs and sperms and only mamals like shark. Dolphin. Whales etc give birth to babies

[@colhourpower]

Which sandworms are those, the bloody , camo, or natural?

[@drdizzly]

I wanna know which one is best for porgy (bream) fishing on a boat...

[@brianlee1039]

Fishermans life nice video. I was wondering if you wanted to go fishing and crabbing with me in San Francisco.

[@MM-zb1uj]

Fish active dont stop for a minute!!!!! Gulp is for fishing active...My experience...greetings from Denmark.

[@lucasscott8397]

What size hook are you using?

[@kipperwhite2976]

Gulp is #! N NC Pier fishing gits it done well everytime & last longer than real bait's do! We use the crab flavor fish bites also

[@johnny510]

I think on the first 3 catches, the shrimp didn't produce because u left the tail on..from what I notice is the perches like it when u peel off the shell.

[@steverogers5228]

More catch n cook please

[@thereelestfisherman2925]

Catch and cook surfperch ceviche!!!

[@bryantosborne6857]

Hey fishermanslife u should come up to usual and go rock fishing and for huge red tails

[@gaymen7636]

I love the vids man!!

[@andresar1g139]

I thought he was doing one of those gummi vs real food challenge lol

[@jordankalasho9765]

Keep up the good work

[@TheMrMerble]

Are you using softshell sand crabs when you fish live sand crabs? If not thats gonna make a big difference for bites...cheers!

[@ep4622]

To @Fisherman's Life can you do another catch cook and camp please

[@x-anferny-x4948]

HI FISHERMAN'S LIFE!!!!

[@Alex-yv5mq]

Catch and cook is what separates you from others!!!

[@firepro6743]

Sabiki with a very small piece of gulp sand worm just enough to cover the hook. Of a pier you catch fish all day.

[@briankettner2777]

Drop shot keeps your gear in the zone better. Also your bait is ahead of your gear. Big fish are smart fish.

[@rafaelcruz2562]

Great video ! I like using grubs have you used them ?
