Fishing a Destroyed Pier When Something Wild Happened! 

Love that you released her because she was pregnant, most people wouldn't care or recognize the importance of helping future generations of any creature

I am a 75 yo Florida native. I wanted to salute you for interacting with the Cub Scouts. Back in 1957, 67 years ago, my Mom was my Den Master, later I grew old enough to become a Boy Scount. It served me and my fellow Scouts well in life. It even served and prepared me well when I joined the United States Marine Corps during the Vietnam War. I had to share how you touched me and brought joy knowing that Scouting is still alive with fine examples of truly Good Adult Men, like you Brandt, influencing the Scouts of today, who become the leaders of tomorrow. Thank you, for setting such a fine example for the young men of today. You are a fine example for those boys to follow. 👍👏👏👏✌️ I Salute you, Sir.

I’m still in aww that happened. We gotta learn for our mistakes. 🤙🏽

OMG Brant😂 We are there with you dude👍 Ok, still waiting for your catch to cook LOL and look forward to it.

Good for you leaving this in the video!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

What a bummer. Thanks for keeping it real

Thanks for the video Brant!

I love it when you're fishing and a crowd forms. 🍿

New one on me...."sometimes you're the windshield....sometimes you're the bug!!!" ??? 👏👏👏❤ Good job, Brant...as always! Thanks so much!!! 😀

If you fish long enough, those things happen. It makes a good story though. Big fan and love watching the vids because I feel like I'm standing on the beach with you.

Let’s go!! Mr Brant comes through with another great video

Goal accomplished, it does feel like we’re there with you.

What an absolute roller coaster of a video lol

Love your style and for keeping it real. Nice to watch a video and feel like I am present with you. No edits...no cuts... just like everyday life..

Hey I’m a UWF student I go fishing all the time I love your videos!

Thanks for keeping it real and keep up the great videos

Always doing a great job Brant!

Nothing wrong with that he’ll feed somebody! Keep up the great content! ✌🏼

That's why you're the best Brant, Great Video Real life, your the man!!! Butt we are getting SHARK hungry!

Glad to see you keepin it reel! Great video!!

Thanks for keeping it real

Thank you for showing everything.

That shark was determined to not be in your catch and cook! I was fishing artificial a couple weeks ago down in Tierra Verde here in the Tampa Bay Area…. Just bouncing my little Vudu shrimp one night and was not expecting much but the fish started showing up…. Then a 24+ inch snook latched on to my Vudu shrimp right by the seawall but it was low tide and there is like a 3 - 5 row of rocks all the way down the sea wall. Instead of being gentle I wanted to yoke this fish up on the wall with me as fast as possible…. The snook laid down on the rock and shook my lure right off his mouth. That same look you had here when the shark shook off the gaff, same kind of look I had. I had a crowd watching too. Not only was I disappointed the spectators were equally as sad because they were enjoying the show. Don’t beat yourself up Brant! I rarely see you lose once they are in the boat or on shore with you… I’ve been following the channel for maybe 6+ yrs now.

Thanks for keeping it real!

Awesome video down to earth! Your part of the reason me and my wife moved down here. We are on 20 about 5 miles from the midbay Bridge in chawctaw Beach.

We have all done it. It feels horrible every time! Thanks for sharing!

Keep the grind man, I love fishing ever since I was 5 best thing in my opinion.

Thank you ❤ you made my day! I love watching you fish

Love the fact that you release the pregnant shark Brant when you lost that shark at the end though I felt every bit of your pain my friend that was heartbreaking

Love watching your viideos sir. Im not a religious guy but I’m thinking about starting to prey so I can return as you in my next life… lol

So sorry you lost that shark Brant! We are all human and we make mistakes! That’s why it’s called “fishing” and not called “catching”!

Love that you keep it real. Awesome video and helpful learning tips. Big thanks!

Great Action 💯 AMEN

Brant, the catcherman, that was just pure bad luck. Next time... Thanks for being real, wouldn't watch any other way. 🎉

Thanks for the awesome video. Keeping it real is the best way and I appreciate it. Thanks for letting the mama shark go too. ❤️

I would of thought the same on that shark! I would l of thought it was almost dead! You’re the best salt water ANGLER I’ve ever seen. It’s just something that I can’t understand! But next time you will get you one. I know you will get you one!!

Glad you left it in the video. That shows how things can happen so easy.

Love that beach. Born and raised.

I enjoyed that vid,it was so perfect and real and honest,I watched mat today and I felt like I was watching you,cause he takes after you alot,,you have taught him a lot.

I love the reality of your vids!

OMG that sucks losing that shark, glad you left that part in the video, im glad you releasde the prego. keep the vids coming

Omg that shark seriously just said F you. If I'm gonna die it's on my terms and you aren't eating me. See ya! 😂

Brant, you are the king! I fished that spot this evening, and got broken off by sharks three times. I can't believe the catch and cook got away!

Hey stuff like that happens. 15 min after I rip the gills on a Chinook salmon they are still kicking in the water. Blows my mind how long they last while bleeding out. Keep up the great content.

😂🤣😂😂🤣 nice catch tho. We all have had our moments

Wow thanks for always keeping it real! I don’t comment often but I watch always . As much as it sucked to lose that shark it could have happened to anyone . At least you didn’t get bitten.

Love the video! Got me looking at the area..

Mistakes happen thanks for sharing and being human! Great video

That was an awesome video. I was so excited to see you cook a shark then Mr. Murphy decided to say hello. Keep doing what you’re doing. Awesome video.

Brant you are truly a fisherman.. Sorry about that but it happens. Kudos for keeping it in,

It takes a special kind of person to laugh at another person's misfortune. I'm a special person.😂😂😂😂

Man, I can’t believe that got away from you. I felt it. Like I was the one that lost it. Can’t wait for you to finally land a keeper because I want to see the catch and cook. Good luck!

Saya suka kegiatan ini

Is what it is man. Good video regardless👍👍

Crazy fun fishing day. I love your videos. You almost cooked one,!!

Daaaaaaang. What an ending!

Awesome video. Keep it real buddy. Stuff happens, you get up, and keep going.

back in the 60,s dad had a big surf pole and Garcia reel with 50 lb test fishing off the old Moss Landing pier south of Watsonville california, he hooked something and it took off out to sea never slowed down then broke the 50 lb test when he tightened the drag all the way down, they use to have shark derbies there way before Jaws came out so everyone figured it was a huge shark

Great video Brant, you'll get get one sooner or later bro!

Good job Brant 😅

That was wild. lol

Great video! I lost a big fish and off went my watch! Lucky me.

No shark for you!😂 Aa a long time shark fisherman, I am going to share my Golden Rules with you: ALWAYS use steel leaders of at least 100 lb test. Also, if you have a shark you want to harvest, kill it IMMEDIATELY. I have learned these lessons the hard way! Great video, because it was HONEST and those are always the best kind!❤

"It looks like he's pregnant" hehe great video!

Lmao I’m glad you kept the ending part 😂😂. You should of jumped in behind it and capture it with your bare hands like a real man (just joking😂)

Now that is something I might have done myself!

Nice 👍

I don’t think it’s a problem that it got away, however it is pretty funny. Fire content bro.

Been there, done that. I thought I was the only clutz out fishing😄

Brant is always working that magic! I'm actually taking an "extended" break to see this right now! 😍🤙❤

That was a awesome video.i loved the shirt you were wearing at the end of the video.

In Delaware I use big chunk of eel threaded on hook sharks love them Caught 5 species of shark with eel originally it was for strippers Now I rig for shark with eel Great show

love to see you kayak out there and drop a camera

I can’t a 1000 pound bass just yesterday ❤️love the channel keep it up Dave.

Next time! 🦈🦈

At least you got it on video lol

That was REALLY the one that got away.

Awesome content. You'll get your catch n cook video soon. Don't sweat it.

A bad of fishing is still better than a good day at the office.

SH&^ happens man and glad ya kept it in the vid

much respect for leaving the unfortunate part of your day in the video. I think most would have scrapped the whole video or at least the catch of that shark. mistakes are made and bad things happen it would have been real easy to not show us your bad day.

I don't think you made a mistake s**t happens just tough luck. Thanks for keeping it real. The cook is coming soon

thanks for "keeping it real" ...

Hey man we are all human we all make mistakes! next time my only suggestion would be to fully dispatch the shark before bleeding it :p just so this doesnt happen again and its better for the fish so it doesnt have to suffer

Check out Brant gathering the crowds.... signing autographs!!! 😎😎😋😋

Unbelievable! Man you lost the shark, you must have been pissed, Damn!

I was literally thinking a second before he took off that it would be a shame if he did just that! Stuff happens man, great video nonetheless!

Awe! Sorry he got away! Just not meant to be!

Happens to the best of us buddy, atleast it wasn’t a cobia 😂

It does look like he’s pregnant! Thanks for releasing him 😂😂😂😂

That lost sharpnose sucks but thanks for keeping it real!

Bruh 12:15 I didn’t see the coming but that was funny. I also lose so many fish also 😂

everyone has made a mistake. Thanks for keeping it real. I know you are a straight up person or you would have covered it up.

Man that’s about like my luck. I’ve learned to expect the unexpected. It seems like it would’ve floated back up after the cut in the oxygen tanks. A buddy of mine I used to go to Mexico beach with always cut their throats to the cartilage then up each side a little bit and stuck em in the heart. He had a very sharp very big knife he kept out there with him as we stood in water 4 feet deep shark fishing. If I was sober like I am now I don’t think I would’ve done all that nonsense lol. We used to drink a lot down there while we fished. You did lose a great eating fish tho.

Just curious which way most fish would go if hooked next to structure?

Sorry for asking last question. I did not realize that was a controversial topic.

Just new to the channel and really enjoying watching we are to travel to Destin at the end of July and plan to do some shark fishing from the beach what are the regs on beaching them and any kind not to be beached thanks again

That big guy is a Brown Shark (aka:Sandbar) Humped back, huge dorsal ...

You're dead! "No I'm not!"

The pier is closed at the moment? You said destroyed, what happen to the pier???
