This is Why You NEVER Turn Your Back on Your Rod 

If you turn your back on your rod a tall bearded man will grab it.

Since I can't go fishing anymore I love watching y'all having fun catching them. Thank you once again.

Thanks for letting me catch a fish on your rod😂

Loved the video! Fishing is one thing, trying to video it successfully take another level of expertise. Thanks for the effort in producing great quality videos

Switching gears every day for new environment in fishing is my kind of fishing! Love it! Well done

Brant forgot to tell Brad he had the same fish twice cause he trained him the week before LoL 😂 thanks for the video nice seeing you catch something

Very nice, caught a big black drum like that last week down there on a Slam Shady.

Keep it up! Your content is great! Always switching it up. Never stale. Had a question....Have yall started hurricane prepping in the new house? Possible video idea?

You all made the best of a bad weather day, the big uglies are fun to catch, good video and information ✅💥✌️

I dogwt the opportunity to go saltwater fishing. But I do work at a fishing resort that I get to fish at frequently. It's still fun catching bass and catfish. The place is called Bienville Outdoors

Love fishing the canal when I’m down there!

We are at Fort Morgan Beach club and you are right. The wind is just horrible. Think we are going to try the bay side of the peninsula.

Great job and good luck. Greetings and watching from Rome,Italy

Brant - I'm moving to Panama City Beach this summer from Arizona. The fishing here is hard and the fish are tiny. You're going to have to show me some of that Florida hospitality and show me what Florida fishing is all about.

I’ve always wanted to fish the ICW on Canal Rd. My son used to live in Terry Cove ,Orange Beach. He now lives in Mount Pleasant,SC.

2 buddies fishing having fun meeting fans, that's what's up. Good stuff man thank you 😊

I always tie my rods off to something solid like a fence or something close with a long stringer. 23lb flathead tried taking my new rod the other day.

My hometown, Gulf Shores AL. I've seen you guys on the Canal rd.

I'm in the process of moving to Carrabelle, so I'll be just down the road from you. Since I'm largely unfamiliar with the fishery and techniques used in the area, I'm currently using your videos as tutorials, so thanks for the educational and entertaining content.

Those are aome solid fish B Rant! I was cracking up when B Rad grabbed your rod lol.

I love seeing you guys fish together !!!

Brad pulling off the CMR rod grab!

I love your fishing videos ! While in the Navy , I was stationed there in Pensacola. I loved it there ! I surfed there a lot , mostly at Alabama Point (jetty) . I almost moved there . I got out of the Navy in San Diego and still here. I would love to vacation there and do some fishing. I'm a surf fisherman myself. I even use a cart like yours . The fishing is better where you are for sure !

I enjoy this kind of videos the ones where u go out an catch red fish an big black drums my favorite videos by far

Always watch your pole or have pole holder that can hold you caught nice one

Great video once again what a day to catch to monster like that on light tackle and then the sportsmanship what can I say letting Brad catch a fish on your rod by the way where I come from those are called pity fish lol👍 so glad to see you guys catching more fish now that spring is here keep them coming can't wait to the next one

I grew up in the Tampa Bay Area. You do a road trip over there sometime.

Thanks for sharing with us how to enjoy fishing with friends even with adverse weather conditions. Grandpa Jack

I enjoy watching you guys fish when I can't make it on the water great job 👏

I had a slot Snook hightail-it with one of my rods. Had to get into the canal and get it back lol. Was definitely worth it!!!

I was literally telling my wife that y'all fish that spot yesterday. We did a day trip over there yesterday and drove through there.

This is what makes Pensacola so cool!

WHEN I WAS LITTLE AND CAUGHT CRABS 🦀 LIKE THAT IN GALVESTON I'D ALWAYS PUT NET IN WATER FIRST JUST BARELY UNDER WATER. I NEVER HAD ISSUES WITH THROWING CHINCKEN WHERE I THEY BITE AND SLOWLY PULL STRING INTO NET THEN PULL EM OUT.

Tip... attach a mopstick to the net pole for longer reach.... its what we did when we were kids... we would catch a bucket full of crabs.

What's happening Brant. I met the big SKUNK yesterday. Kayak, Wind, the worst live bait I've ever bought. Lots of cast netters but no bait. But it was no humidity. Low Temps.... 79F. Beautiful day other than Wind and no fish. Still enjoyed getting out.

Love your videos and the content! You have a wonderful personality.

It was so awesome meeting you guys yesterday! Thank you for taking a picture and being so nice!

You're awesome I love your videos. I also love that you say hi to your subscribers. A lot of you RU-vidrs don't do that and I don't understand why. Because of the subscribers they quit their day job and do what they love to do.

The strippers and white bass running right now here in GA. It’s been a hit and miss season this year. They are definitely hitting at Lake Lanier. Let me know if you are interested. I’m expecting the crappies bite to be fire after this week. It’s been on and off with the crappies bite. Let me know what’s up if you ever want to come up and need a place to stay.

Bearded Brad RULES!!!

Oh nice, I just literally watched the old catch n cook black drum from a while back from that same spot. I was wondering why you hadn't gone back there in awhile because that was some nice big nasties.

Man I was about to fish there on my lunch today, Must have Missed yall

Brad said they ain't no shame in his game

Great fish they were whoopers lovely when you share rods, keep videos coming, stay safe and take care.

Awesome video buddy always love watching you when you catch his big black drums like that keep up the good work Brant

I use to drive by there for work years ago and always wanted to drop a line but never had the chance.....now I am older and more into fishing than I have ever been I think I will give it a shot here soon and maybe possibly make a video myself......keep up the awesome content always enjoy watching your bideos Brant🤝

I realized it was a black drum right when I hit send. Thanks for responding.

Watching your video live in Arkansas grew up in Milton, keep up the good work

A tip for catching crab on a chicken leg.... put your net in the water and leave it.. when the crab grabs the chicken leg, you slowly pull that crab over the top of your net.. they normally won't let go of that leg once they start to eat it.. you know when they grab the leg by watching the string stretch out... try it.. you will be surprised at how well that works..

Try wrapping your chicken in something like pantyhose or terry cloth. It works for Dungeness. They get snagged up easily.

Brad the bearded poacher done jacked Brant's rig to catch a fish... LOL Great video as always keepem coming brother!!!

Brad you have to be the fish.

put the fish bit on first then the crab!

LOVE fishing the canal!

Literally went camping at a lake and shit was crazy. Was light to schmedium winds and light rain, then got swarmed by these bugs. Had my line out and went to spray some bug spray and my line was literally being pulled, went to grab it and tried to reel it in then lost it. Then things went worse by high winds destroying my tent I had just bought and didn't even get to sleep in one night.

you guys should do a wacky competition where you if any rod hooks up yall gotta race to it and land it and most points pays for dinner or something lol. Would be cool to see since i never see yall do any competitions with each other.

Brant, could you please review for us the regulations on catching and using crabs for bait in Alabama and Florida. Size? Blue? Is there a difference using a crab for bait vs dinner? The rules in Alabama seem confusing. Do seasons apply when using as bait? Great Black Drum! Thank you!

I need to find this spot

I caught a 30 lb black drum on a bluegill hook and I was on vacation and I’m a 12 year old 5ft 3in boy

My biggest on light tackle is 2500 reel is 32lb I tends to avoid the drum. They are not fun to fight with it like fighting a log. But I tends to go for like snook, cobia etc

For those of us not in your region (Florida panhandle, I guess?) it'd be nice if you would name what species you are catching, what other species might be present (esp. those to hit such large bait), describe the water itself (brackish?), etc. I'm guessing this water is pretty so-so quality due to all the boat traffic, so, probably not the place to go for table fare? (Kinda like the lower Ohio River, near me.) I'm curious as to what line rating you were using, too. Thanks!

haha, caught a case of crabs onetime in gulf shores, back in the day!

What were the fish you caught and released. And why did you release them? Are they not good eating?

yes sir those things are soo much fun

Angler up with Brant nice catch. Next time can y’all hold the big fish horizontally, because when they’re held vertically all their organs shift. It’s not like it’s a perch. Thank you if you read this.

lost a rod on deerfield beach pier Sunday. something big grabbed it with my back turned

Love that you should catching bait and the monsters. Unbelievable that they are right by the roadside. I would still be grinning. Which road is that and mile marker? Thank you for allowing me to live vicariously thru you. P.S. Bearded Brad seems like a great fishing buddy. I guess he earned a fish by walking the rocks for your whale.

Have one of the best spinning reel is one of my dream. It can be penn or okuma. Hope you can make it come true.

Enjoyed the video and change in style. Always great content.

Where is this? I know you fish sometimes in Pensacola and all and me living close id love to catch me a big one

Awesome dude well done where are you fishing at? I want to fish with you…

YES SIR PEACE FROM DA-NORTHEAST DA-BEARDED FISHERMEN!!

Lol....Thats all I can say.. Happy fishing always.. .

Are you able to use alligator as bait when you catch one snackin on the chicken bone?

Need to make a trip in the yak and fish the mosquito lagoon with Me

Great video, Brant! Those were some choice big uglies on light tackle. Tight lines!

Awsome catches!!

I notice the toadfish reel is no longer being used, i hear they are dog water in terms of bail arm bending.

Watching these videos makes me wanna sell everything and move to the gulf......

I literally pulled in a garbage bag full of water a couple months ago in Freeport, smh.

Just curious, I'm from up here on Long Island NY . I'm.pretty sure that was a small blue claw crab you netted in the very beginning for bait. Am I correct. If I'm wrong than the rest of this comment doesn't matter. But assuming I'm right. I'm pretty sure it's illegal to harvest a small blue claw that size for any reason. Weather it be for eating or using it as bait. The idea being to help keep the blue claw population healthy. Using a crab that size as bait amounts to the same as catching it and keeping it "For the sauce" as most of the people up here put it who disregard the law on it. Am I correct or am I completely wrong? I actually just now looked up the law According to the regulations up here and to my understanding most of the country where they're living. You can use 5% undesized of a total number of legal blue claws caught as bait as long as they're in a seperate container.simply. you 1st need to catch and keep 20 legal sized blue claw to legally catch & possess only 1 undesized blue claw for bait I know it sounds strange but it's true. Im saying this because you appear to want to use it live so it has to be relatively small or you can just catch 1 legal one & cut it up. I know your fishing for monsters but I thought this would be good conversation. Good luck. Keep up the great videos.

I’m new to Pensacola and trying to get into the salt water game, what canal is this

That was a monster, Damm

Are those black drum?

Good job

Talk about a straight up plug... "we are going to put some useless fake bait on the real stuff" 🤣☠️

This old man would love to fish with you

WHERE IS THIS? IM OMW!!!

Isn't that the place that you and Ron went before and got those big black drum

Love y'all! Rod stealing and all. Lol

Just out of curiosity do y'all have an agreement before hand that this is a group effort or you fish your poles and I'll fish mine?

Bearded Brad=BB and we love BB

I love it when the fish breed is kept secret.

Much love God bless from Morganton NC

Love your videos, me and my husband are coming to Pensacola on Friday and wanted to fish , just looking for some ideas of where to go.maybe surf fishing . Any help would be much appreciated

That is black drum right!??

What rod/reel combo are you using?

Where is this? I’d love to hook into some good ones as well!

Still waiting on the Micro skiff build!

What’s a keeper size redfish? You let some monsters go?
