Big Glide Bait, Big Striper 

Thanks Steve! Those where the days. My mom would tow my boat for me and drop me off all day fishing before I could drive. I just love the river

Thanks for the compliment Old School. You guys need to get out on the water. Do you know a falconer named Clay, in chico?

@@colbymyers6278 I don't, but Anthony might.

Thank you! Your best bet would be a 12”-18” pike minnow.

Get em Hammer!!! The fish gods Know your moving!!! You should get a biggin for farewell!!

Yup ikr minnow Aka split tail..Any big narrow swimbait with darker silver should be gravy but you gta have right rod and lure action or your wasting your time..7'6"-8' swimbait rod with 5.2-1 gear ratio reel... Slow and steady close to cover or Bott m but keep bait running clean...No weeds so try to rig swimbait weedless if you get right hooks!!!! And most importantly if you catch a big females please take care of her and put her back..She's GTA make more

Awesome fish. Great catch and release. When I lived in Sac in the early 1990s, the last time I fished the delta, there was a freakin 50 ft whale swimming around by us. It was Humphrey! Remember that! I forgot what year. Maybe 1991

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching

Thanks dude!

Thank you. It took me 3yrs to break the 40lb barrier. The stars definitely aligned this trip

Thank you! Im planning on fishing a lot this year

Thanks watching

Well said thank you!

Thanks for checking out the video

It’s personal preference. Some baits definitely swim better with a snap or split ring. It’s a lot easier to change lures with a snap so I use them with glide baits, sometimes with a-rigs. I direct tie with soft baits

Thanks for checking out the video

No worries your videos are great keep up the good work your channel will grow 👍🏽🎣

Thank you. It took 3yrs to break 40lbs.

I use Okuma guide select and Irod genesis 2 rods. If you are throwing baits from 1-8oz get the Okuma guide select xh (2-10oz) rod, or the Irod genesis 2 jumbo swim (4-10oz). If you are throwing above 8oz, get the xxh (5-14oz) guide select, or the bailey mag swim (5-12oz) irod genesis 2. I would choose the guide select (5-14oz) when throwing a 10oz bait. The specific rod in this video is a Okuma SBX Carbon (5-14oz) swimbait rod, throwing a 10oz bait. The SBX is a higher end guide select with a lighter blank, better guides and a full carbon handle. The handle on the sbx is worth the extra money. The Irod Genesis is a lighter, more parabolic rod than the Okuma guide select, but has smaller more delicate guides. The okuma is a heavier, faster action rod, that is pretty indestructible. Both rods are great, especially for the price. I also use these rods for fishing live bait.

Thank you for the compliments. Im glad you liked the video

I looked on ebay couldn't find any baits under that name

Thank you

You think?

Just spend as much time as you can on the water. There’s good water everywhere. If you for sure want to catch a fish use pike minnows

@@colbymyers6278 Sounds good. My friend up North doesn't fish much so I'll probably set him up on the minnows and I'll try working a big glide. I'll let you know if we do well

You should have seen how good the striper fishing was 40 years ago in the 1980s. Pyramid, Silverwood the aqueduct in palmdale and lancaster and Sacramento delta was incredible back then. Way less people and fishing pressure then. Hard to believe it was that long ago. I moved out of Cali when it started going down the shitter in the mid 1990s. So I moved to Tennesse to chase the big river stripers here. Good luck get you a 40!

Lots of big stripers in Tennessee. Big Skipjack herring on planner boards is the deal back there.

Its a 1448 roughneck, Honda 35 factory jet. You can get away with a prop on the sac

Depends on the conditions. When targeting big stripers, Im looking for one big bite a day. But anything is possible

Thanks

Thank you

Depends on the water you are fishing. This was in 3ft of water. Sometimes I let it sink just out of sight

1448

Thank you

Yes

2/0 4x on baits over 10” and 1/0’s on 8-10” baits

@@colbymyers6278 thank you very much

Get out and catch a giant!

Been trying brah! Caught my PB at age 14 and still chasing .

This was a old 12” dockrat glide bait that he doesn’t make anymore

The sacramento river

65lb

@@colbymyers6278 rightio, crack on mate, solid release 👍

Thanks 👍

Thanks for watching

Im some areas those are big baits and big fish. Im lucky to have these fish where I live. Thanks for checking out the video.

I understand that thought process. I am biased in my feelings on this.I live in an area where I can go to a local lake and have the opportunity to catch a double digit. Apart of me still feels like In this scenario I may not call a 4 pounder a monster though. Knowing that there are true monsters else where. I could be wrong. I throughly enjoy your content. I want to eventually target giant stripers on giant swimbaits. I'm glad I can learn from others who have done it before me.

@@tkettle13 thanks for the kind comments. If I where you I would start by chasing striper boils and fishing with live minnows up too 18” long. Once you figure out where the stripers are, then try throwing some lures.

I agree. Thanks for checking out the video

It’s the safest, best way to revive big fish. Thanks for the comment

@@colbymyers6278 care to explain how it’s a safe way i don’t see how putting something through it’s gill plate like that is ok for the fish does it not rub on the gills and effect them i’m curious cuz i want to make sure the big ones i catch go back safely i tend to hold them till they go but i’d like to hear what u have to say sir.

The rope is looped between the gills and the gill plate, so it’s not sliding around. It’s not threaded through the gills. I keep the fish in slow current on the rope so water is always flowing through the gills no matter what, and they don’t have to necessarily be swimming. Similar to releasing big saltwater fish. The rope is so I don’t have to physically touch the fish until it’s revived. I can just leave them alone. I release the fish when it’s swimming strong and upright. I prefer lifting the fish by the gill plate because it’s very strong and actually part of the fishes skull. The jaw is not, and sometimes it’s hard to get a gripper over the jaw on a big fish. There is nothing wrong with holding the fish to revive it, or using a live well. However my live well is small, and I don’t think the average live well circulates enough water. Even a large live well isn’t that big. So I like having them on the rope, in the current, where they can rest for a while.

@@colbymyers6278 interesting might have to give it a try does kinda get old holding them in the water for days till they go back

That’s BS. Thanks for checking out the video though

100% agree with Kevin D, have a little respect for those awesome egg dumping hens. That fish is dead, very poor fish handling. Not designed to hang from the jaw when they are trophy class weight. And a rope through the gill plate? Just put that fish in the freezer next time what a waste

@@karlgabski1011 you guys are both ridiculous. I 100% disagree with both of you. I have always been a advocate for catch and release, especially for big stripers

@@colbymyers6278 Thats a shame ya cant pull your head out and take care of these awesome fish!

I just hope you practice what you preach to you own standards

The fish was revived and released
