Thanks! My second boat was a Trophy so I unofficially named it the "Participation Trophy" hence the name of the channel. I decided to keep it after I bought the Sea Hunt. Didn't want to upset my tens of followers. LOL

Daiwa Eliminator with a Penn Senator 4/0

I agree. We had a 2 knockdowns on it but only landed 1 from it.

It was a great day!

Thanks Mike! It was great to finally get into them!

Thanks Dub! We had a lot of fun.

Thanks!!!!!

Thanks! It was a pretty fun day.

Thank You!

Thanks Dewey!

Definitely true! It is like therapy, even on a slow day I am drifting or trolling and just listening to tunes.

Hi Rich, it is a 2014 Sea Hunt Ultra 211. 21 feet long and is pretty good for the majority of fishing I do and works great for family/friends as well.

Thanks and Thank You for watching!!!!! TBH, I debated even putting it together since I did not catch any bass but they are not all successful trips are they?

I agree Mike!! It was still fun either way. I will get them soon.

Thanks Dub!!! It was really cool!

Yes it is!

Is it true you are supposed to measure black sea bass from the fork inside of the tail instead of the elongated fins?

@@MAX99999 I know you don't use the long tendrils. I believe you use the majority of the tail not including the long strings.

Its not too bad but I have been there for awhile. It can get crazy with a fast outgoing and waves stacking at the entrance.

I know. It was not a great season for me. Most of my days fluking were very similar with just a few shorts caught each day. Only had 2 keepers all season :(

@@participationtrophyfishing I feel ya

They are delicious. False albacore not so much. I like to cube the strips, blacken them and the just pan fry or air fry like blackened tuna bites!

I appreciate it! Always trying to learn to get better all the time. It sure is a lot of fun to catch them along the way.

Thank You!

It was! Would have been nice to add some Mahi or Blue Fins but we had a lot of fun.

It's not fun in heavy traffic and when the current is strong. Sometimes it's like a lake during mid tide and is pretty nice to cruise through. I do wish I was closer to the Manasquan Inlet though, so I could be out in no time vs 30-40 minutes from dock to ocean.

Thanks I was trying to find an alternative to a carry barrel

There are some 2-2,5 miles straight out of the inlet. There are also some right at the top of the Axel, southeast of the axel and bottom pf the Sea Girt Reefs. I found them just by fluke fishing different parts of the local reefs or bottom structure/features i tried after seeing them on my Navionics App. Hard to beet a diving plane or drail weight with a clarkspoon. Go smaller on the clarkspoon to get the smaller fish and you can still get spanish macks and Bonito.

Some do for sure. I have seen them chase after serious violators but the amount of people that try to follow the rules is a lot less in the past 4-5 years. I try to follow them as long as I have control of the boat but will through some wake if I need to maintain as straight a line as possible when traffic is there.

I heard about it causing shoaling and taking the Metedeconk from fresh to salt but didnt know about the 88 bridge. My Father in Law says it was a lot rougher when he use to go through it many years ago.

I will put the whole video up when I get a chance.

I have only had them from the fishmarket but they were pretty darn good then. Can't wait to have one same day caught by me. Hopefully soon.

Definitely!!! I will be out there again. Would love to get a nice Mahi to take home and also still looking for that inshore bluefin to hit some gear! Hope to see you out here as well.

Thank You

Goodnight and thank you for watching!

I will put the whole thing up when I get a chance.

I agree but with all that traffic, the wakes bouncing off the walls, it was like a washing machine. It was pretty cool to be in though.

If it was Saturday, we were there as well. Started out closer to shore and moved out deep after a lot of shorts. We ended up with 2 Fluke and a Sea Bass. No ling for us but we had plenty of skates harassing us.

It was very interesting, and the video does not quite do it justice. It is always the other boats that throw the excitement into the canal or the inlet. I have had people cut right in front of me to turn around in both and don't forget the people that go 15mph in the canal passing people waking everyone bad. Either ride can be great or a knuckle biter

It was pretty awesome!

captain did the right thing ! cool video

@@josepchmasi I agree. I witnessed a few boats turned by the wakes at that time. You can see that parker get turned at 1:10 in the video. You hear me basically saying to go but when Mark saw a few boats knocked sideways, he chose to be safer for all of us.

Where was this?

@@patricklacasse2877 Manasquan Inlet in NJ.

Thank You for watching and Thank You for the Sub!

It is the Manasquan River

Thank You for watching and I am glad you liked the video. Its always a trade off deciding what to include or not and try to keep the vids to certain lengths. The 2 on the ocean not seen were not even recorded, didn't realize they were on until I got it to the surface with the deadstick. The other 2 were really small but I could have included them but didn't want the time to run too long. I do have some mishaps in some of my videos, Hook in the hand and some others, and have no issues embarrassing myself. LOL

@@participationtrophyfishing no no not mishaps Whatever your final vid is your final vid .. jus giving my views. Keep doing what you do 🫡your vids and others like are very inspirational

@@ValueVictory Its all good and I will keep them coming. Trust me I appreciate any comments I get and am always looking to make my videos better and entertaining.

Thank You! and Thank You for watching.

It did fight pretty good. It was a long time since I caught one before this.

Thank You!

I agree Dub! Happy New Year!

I have an ugly stick and an old berkley boat pole still kicking around. They have had better days but use to catch some fish!

Thank You!

Thanks! They can be a pain sometimes

This in the Ocean off of NJ in Ocean County.

I appreciate it. I will definitely get it looked at and worked on. It is now out of the water and about to be stored.

@@participationtrophyfishing You're welcome. It's a widespread issue so all owners should be aware, yamaha really should have recalled them. I had to do mine a few months ago. There's one video on youtube that will show you how to replace it if you are up to DIY.

@@Eric-zs6rd I found a few vids of it, before and after. It definitely has the sound of it. Doesn't seem to bad to DIY.

Thanks for watching!
