this 1 foot long spoon caught sea monsters - big lure big fish! 

To make it clear, I do not recommend the lure for jetty fishing, it's too expensive and does not cast well (that's not what it is made for). I was just hyped up to see it was at all possible.

Crazy to see how these reds will hit those monster lures. To me, it’s as if the 3oz spoon is like a finger mullet, and the footlong is like a horse mullet or ladyfish. Great content as always!

A huge hello from Europe here in the Coast of Spain! Watched you working the big spoon, and I can tell you that where my brother lives ( on the south of Spain, where the Mediterranean lines up with the Atlantic just left of Portugal the sea bass and Corvina are huge!!! I'm 120% sure dude that this huge spoon would rip it up there!! Been living out here in Spain for the past 4 years now, coming from California where we lived basically our entire life. As soon as I saw your video I had to share it with my brother! He'll love this huge spoon, his fishing 🎣 experience is rather extensive, he can basically out fish most pros out there... In this very moment and time with the cold creeping in, huge sea bass and Corvina tend to hug the ports. Looking for easy meals... We are talking fish that measure larger than my entire leg🦵 and I'm 5' 11"!!! Thx for sharing the experience with that huge spoon!!

I’m not surprised you got bit on that big chunk of spoon-There are tons of 8”-10” pogeys on the beach/ jetty’s right now. Awesome stuff Coop

Wow man, I was today years old when I found out an average sized redfish will hit a foot long spoon...thanks for posting another awesome video!!!!....👍🏽

Wow, I would've never thought that monster spoon would work, but, proved wrong. One of the best lure fishing videos I've ever seen, great great great video, from El Paso Texas, see ya.

This is 1 of your coolest videos yet lol keep going. stay focused and keep grinding!!!

Bro!!! Great video. I’ll be paying homage to you when I do something similar.

Down here in SWFL the bull reds can be seen chasing and eating speckled trout.... Makes sense that they like that spoon size. Regarding the cost, you should just make your own giant spoons! Very simple lure. I am sure you can find a sheet of metal and press or hammer it into shape, drill 2 holes, and you're almost done. You could make a dozen of them from a sheet of metal in a single afternoon.

Hey man, could you tell the specs on the rod that you were using in this video? Tks 👍👍👍

Badass video coop hope to see the big spoon again!

I've been using Nichols flutter spoons for several years here in South Texas. The 5" pulls amazingly shallow, even on the flats. I can keep my rod tip high and pull it in 18" of water or less. They have several sizes, but I mostly use the 5". Reds love it and it can be fluttered around the jetties for just about anything including giant specks. I'll have to try the Tony Maja. The only downside I see is the weight if you are doing cast and retrieve. Man, just throwing the 1oz Nichols 500 times in a day will wear you out.

As a musky angler, what,s crazy when you begin fishing is the size of the lures. I,ve been catching 20-22in. muskies on 9-10in. baits. Those fishes will sometimes eat way bigger than we expect !

It'll help your hook-up ratio if you attach a swivel to the top split ring and attach a (like 2/0) treble hook to that. You can also use those single/tandem jig assist hooks that come with a short leader. Increasing the size of the treble at the bottom can help with hook-ups as well. As for casting distance, I can't help you. I'm 1000 miles from the nearest ocean. But, the extra hardware will give it a tiny bit more weight. 🤷‍♂️

I truly love how excited you get when u hook into something that is exactly how I react u hate anglers who act like they are too professional to give a reaction when they get a hit

Great video ! I always feel like one of the boys!😊

Take a shot every time Thresher says "right there".

Just got back from a fishing trip in Baja Mexico. We were using Salas and Tady surface irons that were about the same size. Can’t wait to try them on the east cut or south padre island jetties

Flutter spoons are deadly on the Striped bass and Bluefsh in the CT/NY/Nj area. Usually we drift with them, dropping to the bottom and making big slow swings and letting them flutter back down

7:48 bro you almost make my heart stop.

It's a GIANT SMALL RED!! 😂

Nicely done with the large spoon I need one of those.. Just bring it in fast and high to keep it away from the bottom

Cool video Coop!

I have fished a light at night on the Port A ship channel. When the bull reds come in I toss out live pin fish on a bobber. They eat them whole. I once tried a 12" sand trout and the red swallowed the whole sand trout. Fun times! I always love your vids keep it up.

I catch muskie pike and striper In fresh water on lures that size. So it definitely doesn't surprise me that salt water fish will hit them

You shouldn't have put that lure on RU-vid. I'm ordering two right now. Not sure at all how I will use it, but I'll figure it out. Sea Monster bait.

Heck a largemouth bass will go after big spoons, surely ocean species will. Nice catches!

And here I am catching hardy boys.

I don’t get it ya buy a reel with a drag and you don’t let the drag do its job when you try to stop it with your hand and shocker you bust it off

That giant spoon you are using We use those all the time here from Chesapeake Bay up to Maine If you want a stripper 30 plus inches they will attack that spoon thinking it’s a bunker/ shad/ herron

I thought about that a year ago about those flutter spoons. 🤔 Then I saw the price! 😮. Yikes 😳

Sick video Thresher. Big baits Big fish. What are the specs on the combo? Thinking of getting into jetties fishing down here in the lower laguna madre

I've caught sand trout that were less than 12" on lures that were 4-5". Never underestimate a hungry fish

BIGGER BAITS, BIGGER FISH ! I use 18 inch Red-Horse Suckers for bait in the North Woods for Musky ! 40- 60 inch fish possible there ?

Wouldn't doubt the scale you snagged was a bull red in my experience

when you said "there are slicks here so I know there are fish, probably sharks" could you describe what a slick is?

Awesome Coop 👌 . I'm glad you provided the honest feedback about these big spoons. I was thinking about using them in the surf, but since don't cast well, that would be a challenge in the surf and against the south wind. Keep them coming brother 💯 🙏

Sweet ...Which jetty?

What's the scoop, coop? Try a bigger one sometime? Maybe it will eliminate the smaller fish....possibly find that state record?! I'm thinking 24 inches..ha!

Your luck, it would have been a tagged Redfish, after the STAR Tournament has ended.

Cooper, that was fun and exciting trying something new. And a shout to the ever falling Mr. Skinner 🔥🔥🔥🔥

10:37 what model penn rod is that?

I love it when guys with more subscribers give credit to the legends (with less subs). Combine that with your enthusiasm earns the like and sub.

That first drop was a foul hook, you can tell by the scale on the hook.

Really been binge watching your videos for the last 2 days now. Really liking the content and the vibes you put into it especially with the music. Hope you never give it up I can see this channel taking off. Really enjoy fishing and learning new things when I’m not fishing. Tight lines

I know the pain of losing an expensive bait to mother nature. I feel like this is the year of the flutter spoon.

What size rod do you use for jetties or surf fishing???

Wow! Put any spoon in your hand and here we go! Fish on... keep it up Buddy

Man ive been watching you since you first started !! You are definitely making it .. Keep it going

I fish those same size flutter spoons on pickwick for largemouth in the summer I’ve always thought of trying to get a king or bull red on them from the jetty they just don’t don’t throw very well and are prone to losing fish bc of how big the bait is the fish will pull the hook when they shake their heads enough

We do this commonly in Asia. Launch huge baits that is.

it's great to use a lure spoon, friend, the fish is very big, what is the name of the fish, friend, because the fish doesn't exist in Indonesia

I use those spoons as well, but I’ve learned not to us the stock hooks. They aren’t very sharp so you’ll lose many more fish. You need to power set the hook like you do with tarpons to sink in the barbs or switch to sharper hooks.

The first fish could have been fouled hook

Finally the flutter spoon has made it south 🤘🤘

Not a giant my biggest is probably smaller 😂 “On the first fish”

those big flutter spoons fish can get leverage when fighting resulting in some lost fish. i dislike big plugs for that reason

That huge hub cap is a winner. Thanks for sharing another great and totally awesome adventure.

Here we go for a new adventure.... yeeahhhhh!

I'm only 30 seconds in but if I had a dollar for everytime you say "right there" would already be able to buy a new rod!

Consider making your own spoons. Make it part of a video. Can you provide links or info on the glove and the thing attached to your shoes for traction?

John skinner has taught me a thing or two as well from his videos. Amazing fisherman

Am I crazy or is that old school RuneScape music for the outro? 😂

Hey, the invitation is still there if you want to come to Louisiana and do some fishing!

As a kid in the 1950s, fishing in small California lakes for largemouth bass, I found out that fish no larger than the lure attacked articulated plugs. At first I was amazed, then I realized they just reacted to the movements of the lures. Primal instinct is why lures work.

Do you know that the Holy Bible reveals that if you are guilty of violating one of the Ten Commandment’s that you are in fact guilty of violating each and every one of the Ten Commandments. That is exactly what the Holy Bible reveals, So please stop using OUR LORD GOD ALMIGHTY’S name in Vain. Thank you for your time.

Skinner is the man

Dude, such a good idea! 3 lb largemouth chew em, I'm surprised you're letting the cat out of the bag! 30 lbs isn't a big one? You got some good water. I landed the Florida State Record in the early 90s around 60 lbs at Sebastian Inlet. Game warden was right there to tell me, and to quickly get it back in the water. Alot was 18 to 27 in back then. Been in Massachusetts for 25 years so it's Striper and large mouth now!

I have a question. Why are you wearing the glove on the wrong hand?

That is eye opening. Im getting into metal casting as I am a metal scrapper. And long time fisherman. I'm going melt copper and brass into custom designed spoons, huge mf'ers, shiny brass with dimples, maybe with a ruby gem. thinking at least hand sized and up. Maybe arm length'd for trolling. Any ideas for a hook design that wouldn't snag up on rocks so easily? Would a circle hook work on a casting spoon.

Why must you use the name of OUR LORD GOD ALMIGHTY in Vain, do you not understand that saying the LORDS name in Vain is a violation of the Ten Commandment’s?

greetings bro great capture but the triple is very small for that lure I have the 3-ounce mine and have a triple 5/0 bkk and those of 1 1/2 oz 3/0 ponle a triple bigger Believe me greetings from Puerto Rico.

Lmao, bro this was an Exciting video But I’m sure not as exciting you had using that enormous spoon!!😂 When I saw the spoon in the beginning I knew something was eat it, awesomeness great video Thresher.

Skinner was vertical jigging from a boat, that style of lure is not meant for casting, i never seen people surfcast with these. Also if u think about adult bunker or mullet those redfish could easily swallow them whole. Nice Reds by the way

Hello happy fishing 🎣 Friday night I'm new to your fishing channel I love and enjoy pier fishing 🎣 I love using spoons and yoyo jigs for Pier fishing I be caching halibut fish 👍🏼

Bro where is this spot???

That was fun to watch Coop. I enjoyed that.

Fish don’t want to waste energy looking for a meal. They see it as a wounded fish and worth the energy to fill up all at once. They get less selective. Nice vid. Sorry about the $50 lol.

I know this is an old thread, but wanted to suggest adding a swivel between the hook and spoon and then a set of assist hooks up top. The swivel prevents the fish from gaining leverage and pulling the hook, especially on really large lures.

When we fish salmon in the pacific northwest we use flashers that are bigger than that spoon and fish trip the flashers kinda a lot. They come by and hit the big uuuge thing. But shit i didnt even know redfish got that big. I’ve only seen little ones.

Haha, Coop, that was awesome! Yr. the only guy who would try something that crazy & the fact it worked, makes it even better/crazier. I love yr. channel bc. of yr. upbeat personality & yr. unreal talent & enthusiasm. Keep it up & we will keep watcinng.

This is a flutter spoon for bass fishing. Made to be used in a rip rip then let sink style to imitate a dying gizzard shad vs your typical casting spoon you just reel in.

Try Slow Pitch Jig style assist hooks (typically a pair of singles) on cord on the front eyelet of those big flutter spoons?

the real test will be punchin some holes in the sides of that mega-spoon for some hooks and seeing if that'll improve hookups or just throw the weight off.

Dang that’s hella fishing

Great video man Your an amazing fisherman Salute Also love the video idea And good 2 camera angles i like sir

you throw that spoon in the river near my house in summer and pike smaller than it will hit :D

What glove do you recommend for casting?

I guess if u present a monster lure u are always going to attract the bigger fish. I must change my mindset and not think that any lure is too big for any fish.

I bet the dropped fish were swiping at it and getting foul hooked. I get that a lot on slow pitch jigs

What pole and reel do you use?

Try an assist hook off the top and put a swivel between the spoon the treble to prevent the fish from using the spoon for leverage.

Your voice and all the giggles . Mute him and play music . Then it’s tolerable

Try using a surf rod. They can cast heavy weights over long distances.

I’m heading to the Everglades to fish now

The spoon imitate a large baitfish from afar but smaller fish might still be going after the dressed treble hooks.

That spoon is very similar to the jigs or pirks used in Europe for cod fishing in deep water

Snook would eat a spoon that big I bet. Maybe tarpon too...

The short cut of that song in the, made me go play RuneScape not go fishing.👏

Good vid. Mannn!!!!
