Only BIG Fish Bite During These Conditions (S6 E56) 

Wow, one slip. Thank you for taking us. I think your right handed, you switched hands to get more pull. Try switching and reel with your left. Tight lines.

Woo bro 2 nice fish yes sir exellent job blessing 🙌👍

AWESOME STUFF

Most copper colored black drum I ever saw. Cool.

These conditions will humble someone real quick.

No pain no game Señor

Having the right tool for the job makes the job easier, makes the money spent worth your time.

Hi Mark, will you be at the houston fishing show ?

Spheros 6000 / bentwater rod from bass pro

I wouldn't be fishing there in those rough conditions. On a calmer day I would be throwing topwater lures and or fishing with a popping cork.🙂👍

Great video. Have you considered trying wired leaders and crawfish is a cheaper alternative to blue crabs. Me and my buddies bought some crawfish and took it out to the Port Aransas jetty and we were killing it.

Thank you for fishing Surfside Jetty. I am out there a lot, in a boat however, we need guys like you showing us what to do!

This was an awesome video what size hooks do you normally use to catch those big bull reds.

Call hard life's bait and tackle in corpus and get a payment plan going on a avet mxl raptor won't be disappointed

Tomorrow is a ssw wind 12 mph is that too windy. Fishing with popping cork.

I used avet reels with ftu n steadfast rods. I put 80lb braid n used 250lb leaders, cast 6-8 oz spider weights as need it.

Wow those moments are really heart breaking.... WOW you have the flexibility of the fishing pole...😂😂😂

yah slippery as all get out! Busted my booty almost every time I go despite “treading carefully”😅. Haha but I know I heard you wearing those jetty spikes pretty sure I was hearing the crunch of them against the rock. “Korkies”? Great product but imo they are overpriced and I have been searching for a better priced alternative. $150 for jetty spikes that just strap over the top of the shoe?😅 welp guess I gotta getta better job haha. Anyways I guess the silver lining is 150 for jetty spikes would be way better than a thousands of thousands emergency room bill…. so there’s that too no doubt.

Was this Friday? I saw your truck there.

Mr. You deserve the best adult film star entertainment award 🚬🏆

Good stuff brotha 💪🏽 You stuck the fish and he stuck you your even lmao 😂

I've never fished that jetty but have fished the Quintana jetty many times. I've noticed on youtube many people seem to get cut off a lot fishing the Surfside jetty. I don't fish the end but I don't have the problem of getting cut off fishing the Quintana jetty like everyone does on the Surfside jetty. That had to be very frustrating breaking off those fish like that. I use rods from 7'6" to 10". Great videos guys. I enjoy watching them.

You need a better rod check out the 10’ ugly stick big water Heavy action and pair it up with a 8000 series reel. You’ll tired the fish less and you wont beat yourself to much.

Ouch! 🪨🪨🪨🌊🌊🌊 I feel your pain. 🎣

Been watching GG anglers and beach bomber and learn a lot from them. I make my own leaders snd got me a big rod and reels. Now I’m to old to go to that’s spot. To danouras for this old knees I got. And I’m one tuff old welder

Those rocks look extremely DANGEROUS. Nice video.

I already know you had 3 new surf poles and reels ordered by the time you made it back home. 😂

Man you gave me a cringe moment when your drag was so tight on the first big one lol but I know it depends on thr fish and situation your in. Nice fishing though

Wow those swells looked dangerous- I bet holding the rod up high brought back memories carrying the guidon during a 5 mile run 😅- awesome video as always 🙌

I know you have sore back, arm and shoulder muscles after that overhead fish reeling fight.

Awesome video 😎. I just starting to go to the jetty’s. It’s an awesome experience and can’t wait to go more. Tight lines brother

Was wondering if anybody was fishing out there in crazy weather 😆 Enjoyed bud!

Buen día de pesca hoy amigo saludos desde aquí Houston 😂

Why dont you loosen your drag . Your rig cant take the strain .

Also the hook u using r a lil small. I used 14/0 - 18/0

Didn’t see you at the fishing show.

Those definitely some sporty conditions... great catches and hope one day we can do a collaboration video fishing for monsters...

WOW, I can see how a surf rod would make all the difference, but you still managed to land some nice size drum! Sorry you got spiked, I know that really hurt! Be safe and, Mark, please take care!

Keep it up devil dog when I get out in about a year and half I want to get full into recording fishing videos I’m also from the same area

Hi Mark, on south side of south deer Island, there is a bay type area. Have you ever fished there, and if so how was it?

see you thursday... great video

Thought ypu might lose ypur bogas for a second there. They went up from 135 to 150...dont ask how I found that out this week.

Man, that’s like a broken leg looking for a place to happen. Be careful !

True father's love you seen the danger and went down to get fish 💞

I just use a 5-gallon bucket I sure as hell don't need all that crap.

Love this video... the trial and error that a fisherman goes through to get a consistent adrenaline action...

Man I hate to be that guy, but I couldn't help but feel like there was very little regard for the health/safety of these fish. I hope I am wrong, but seeing it just get absolutely slammed against the rocks was appalling. Then towards the actual release, he had that bloody gash on his head.. If you are going to target these big fish, we need to be more careful when handling them. Holding them horizontally and supporting their weight, things like not holding by gill plates, etc. I am fairly certain both these fish probably died shortly after the release and that's a shame. We cannot save every fish we catch, but going the extra mile really makes a HUGE difference. Conservation is IMPERATIVE. Grabbing a vertical bull stuck in rocks by the lipgrippers and not supporting the fish's weight is absurd to me. I understand the rocks are dangerous, especially when you don't have the proper gear for it but that's certainly not the fish's fault. I don't know much about jetty/surf fishing to be honest, but I do know y'all should definitely have cleated shoes and PFDs on at the very least. Hell, maybe even a helmet in case you fell in! You should've just kept these fish if you weren't sure you could release them safely. Why not release on opposite side if it's calmer? Or a net of sorts? Just an idea/suggestion. Waiting for a big swell just to toss the fish right on the rock seems CRUEL. I'm no perfect angler, either, but I think it's important we share knowledge to keep our fisheries alive and well so we can continue to enjoy them! I am really not trying to sound like a hater, just trying to spread information so we can keep this sport alive. I know how it feels having a heartbreak after popping line on a nice sized fish! I commend you for not giving up and getting after them after all. Tight lines and stay safe out there!
