Wow that second drum was beast! Nice fish Elias! I get somewhat intimidated when I get a gorilla blue or big bass along side my yak never mind that brontosaurus! Can't wait for that catch and cook.
11:20 these fish are like that. When I was a kid I went to Florida, and we had a saltwater canal in the back yard. Within five minutes my buddy hooked a massive drum that didn't fight at all until it was reeled fifteen yards in and saw the dock... then it bolted and broke the line like it was nothing.
Sweeeet ! I got my 1st 50 prob 6 years ago and lost another tank last year in a yacht club "testing" a brand new bait caster. My 1st Tarpon was 125lb and KILLED ME ! I dropped to my knees 3X and my arms were like rocks. Any more I want an easy 70. Great job !
8:54 Level 19 Magikarp, release it quick before it evolves. Puts an ominous spin on the drumming. "Alright, let me get back on my anchor and Catch Another One!" XD Gotta catch'em all! Congrats on the awesome catch! And not flipping your kayak! Keep this up and you might want to consider an outrigger. 8)
I just watched a video of yours from a year ago where another boat came up and took some pics of a massive black drum you landed. I’m anxious to see how big this one is. You said both were the biggest of your life so I assume this one is a lil smaller!
Hey Elias, I've played around with some anchor setups using pool floats, do you have a link on a DIY for the bottle setup? Or maybe a vid? Awesome Drum man.
That black drum is some goof eating, I fish for those in SC but where I fish I’m normally alone & tie the Jon boat to bridge pillars . Very rarely do we get one that’s over 40-50 lb due to them cutting you off but on occasions if you hurry & untie to get him in open water then the fight is on.
have a puppy drum swimming around our light off the dock. interesting fish for sure. big ones are fun to catch! heard the big ones have some kind of worms in their meat though? never cooked a big one so i'm not sure if there is any truth to that or not.
at first i thought it was music the duh duh..duh duh..but no..i know they are called drum for a reason but I have never heard one before..awesome.. beautiful fish.
I'm not trying to compare but when we were in cape may like we go everyweekend before we got a boat we went out on the cape may lady and we went out for drum my dad's very first drum ever was a 78 lbet
You need to come down to Texas and get hooked up some amberjacks. Put those black drum to shame. Those drum are fun and easy to fish for here. Give us something to do between hunting season and offshore.
Nice fish- one tip my buddy taught me when fighting big fish in a kayak is to always keep your rod tip pointed toward the bow. This way whichever way the fish decides to go the kayak will turn that way. Not a good idea fighting huge fish off the side or back of a kayak. I caught a 200lb thresher shark from my kayak this way. It towed me for over 1.5miles. Try it next time- I guaranteed it will go much smoother and easier for you :)
Yeah no idea what I'm doing here. Not sure how to turn a rudder on a split second with a fish running down tide in a ripping two knot current. And then it changes direction, hard enough running uptide of it in a fleet of anchor lines and boats.... I always learned giving the fish slack is the biggest mistake you can make. Turning towards the fish and fighting towards the bow at all times will do this several times. Sounds like it's going to take me years to keep the rod at the bow all times.... #googan
You didnt catch a black drum, You caught a fully grown man haha! That drum was insane! I can only imagine the feeling of a 60+lb drum sitting on your lap, incredible.
Hahaha. I guess this is your only way of getting back at me, since I have you blocked on my Channel. Needless to say, EPF doesn't have room for any racism and discrimination. By throwing comments like this on social media, you are only tarnishing your own name, buddy. :)
Hahaha. broooo...your answers are the best! Like...you truly understood the meaning of _"your name,"_ when I said it. Haha. I meant your reputation, dude! But hey -- if you don't care being known as a racist, then why should I care, right? :) And bro -- UA-cam is my part time job. I am a full time instructor for Mathematics and Physics. I teach on the K-12 level, and I have all background checks and clearances in order to work with children. So, needless to say -- UA-cam or not, I rely 100% on kids for my income, and I am proud of it. Helping the future generations in terms of science, mathematics, and fishing is my gig 100%. Tight lines and have a niceeee lifeeee, bro!
You know...in 1981 (I was 14 and lived in NOLA) I caught a 65 pound black drum. I knew nothing about State Records...that would have put me at #3 at the time and #5 now. I caught it in the MRGO at the Bayou Bienvenue locks. That sucks.
Nice Black Drum Elias! Check out the Black Drum I caught back in 2015 in the Delaware Bay on my Channel; I cooked them in fresh lemon juice, fresh butter and Old Bay Seasoning on the grill; Tasted Great!
Bro u sound like Manny from ice age
Elias, they are truly the linebackers of inshore. The best part is the initial hookup and that reaction of wow. awesome fishing.
Hey Elias, huge fan. What do you think about making a video about the detachable floating anchor?
Wow!!!!! I will be adding this fish to my bucket list. Congrats on an awesome day!
Wow! What a trip, just saw this episode for the first time. Thanks.
My mother in law gave me a dirty look as the grunting started. I had to show her it was a fishing video.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lmao!!
Black Drum in the winter is a GREAT fish to eat, no worms ! good stuff Elias !
Wow that second drum was beast! Nice fish Elias! I get somewhat intimidated when I get a gorilla blue or big bass along side my yak never mind that brontosaurus! Can't wait for that catch and cook.
Elias nice going for sure i thought that rod was gona snap when it hit the yak nice fight where Man VS Beast
You gotta do a Black drum catch and cook! They usually have no worms or very few worms.
That last one was dragging you at least 2kts into the tide at one point. Fun ride!
Nice work.
11:20 these fish are like that. When I was a kid I went to Florida, and we had a saltwater canal in the back yard. Within five minutes my buddy hooked a massive drum that didn't fight at all until it was reeled fifteen yards in and saw the dock... then it bolted and broke the line like it was nothing.
WOW that looks like a hell of a ride!
Huge mother..
Bet you glad you had the conventional setup...
Nice memories, nice you got on video.
Biggest fish of my life was also a black drum in Cape May. Congrats brother.
Holy crap...awesome video man..those wer some STUDS for sure
Sweeeet ! I got my 1st 50 prob 6 years ago and lost another tank last year in a yacht club "testing" a brand new bait caster. My 1st Tarpon was 125lb and KILLED ME ! I dropped to my knees 3X and my arms were like rocks. Any more I want an easy 70. Great job !
I must say you are the man. I love all the videos.
Nice catch bro, Congrats!!!!
Good stuff bud! Lot of work for a sweet reward, fish on!'
Look at the bend on that rod!!! WOW
you could feed a small village....massive. Planning on using fresh clams this summer for fishing at Cape Cod.
Joe Pedro not really, black drum are notorious for worms even smaller in size than these
That looks like North Cape May, NJ. It is a tradition there.
i think thats the first time ive seen u that excited.
Yeah, pretty jaded sometimes
Waited to be the 1000th like. Lol. The boys and I watched this and dang. Love it. Great footage. Sure it was hard to contain yourself.
Damn, even the commercials on this channel are good.
What is the anchor rig hes using. Im looking into buying a kayak and was curious how and why he does it like that
8:54 Level 19 Magikarp, release it quick before it evolves. Puts an ominous spin on the drumming. "Alright, let me get back on my anchor and Catch Another One!" XD Gotta catch'em all!
Congrats on the awesome catch! And not flipping your kayak! Keep this up and you might want to consider an outrigger. 8)
Awesome catch man!
Awesome work bro! Enjoyed the action on this vid more than all your others!
yet another, great video. you guys are awesome!!
I just watched a video of yours from a year ago where another boat came up and took some pics of a massive black drum you landed. I’m anxious to see how big this one is. You said both were the biggest of your life so I assume this one is a lil smaller!
A true monster! Digging the content amigo! Keep it coming and I'll keep watching!
Hey Elias, I've played around with some anchor setups using pool floats, do you have a link on a DIY for the bottle setup? Or maybe a vid? Awesome Drum man.
Damn Son...Man you always cut it soo with those beasts, close but I'm glad you caught them.
Absolutely crazy fish man!
Looks like the c-10 buoy area near Lattimar shoals in the Bay...that is where I caught my biggest-80# black drum...
Mixed in the black drum were a few bull reds...
Most intense video you have so far! Awesome stuff!
wicked fish 👍👍🎣 good fishing
i will tell you this,this is the best vid you ever did
Also how long where fighting these fish for? I saw you clipped the video during some of the fights..
That black drum is some goof eating, I fish for those in SC but where I fish I’m normally alone & tie the Jon boat to bridge pillars . Very rarely do we get one that’s over 40-50 lb due to them cutting you off but on occasions if you hurry & untie to get him in open water then the fight is on.
Great video. What type of fishing kayak do you use? Would you recommend it?
It looks stable
Nice man good fish love the vids keep them comeing
have a puppy drum swimming around our light off the dock. interesting fish for sure. big ones are fun to catch! heard the big ones have some kind of worms in their meat though? never cooked a big one so i'm not sure if there is any truth to that or not.
at first i thought it was music the duh duh..duh duh..but no..i know they are called drum for a reason but I have never heard one before..awesome.. beautiful fish.
I'm not trying to compare but when we were in cape may like we go everyweekend before we got a boat we went out on the cape may lady and we went out for drum my dad's very first drum ever was a 78 lbet
Now that’s a monster
Love your videos Elias, where we you'd guys fishing?
You need to come down to Texas and get hooked up some amberjacks. Put those black drum to shame. Those drum are fun and easy to fish for here. Give us something to do between hunting season and offshore.
Dude!!! That's so amazing!! Fish of a lifetime there!!
Nice fish we catch tons of them here in Texas in the Spring. Can't do much with them but fun to let the kids stretch a line.
great job! keep up the great work making videos!
You've came a long ways in 2 years man.
Great job looks like fun work...not sure the background music is needed!
Man...come to Lake Erie and catch those farm animals all day...they hit freaking everything in freshwater.
Wait.... there's black drum in freshwater Erie? Are you SURE? Cuz I'm not buying it. Please elaborate.
I want to try this. What general areas and season does this happen?
Nice fish- one tip my buddy taught me when fighting big fish in a kayak is to always keep your rod tip pointed toward the bow.

It towed me for over 1.5miles. Try it next time- I guaranteed it will go much smoother and easier for you :)
ultimatejay I think he knows what he's doing hahaha
It doesn't look like it- you should never fight a large fish perpendicular to your body/boat. Learn something
Yeah no idea what I'm doing here. Not sure how to turn a rudder on a split second with a fish running down tide in a ripping two knot current. And then it changes direction, hard enough running uptide of it in a fleet of anchor lines and boats.... I always learned giving the fish slack is the biggest mistake you can make.

Heart skipped a beat for you at the 2:17 mark. Nice fish bud.
That charge to the boat was heart breaking
this rod has AMAZING action. Can you please confirm the exact model in the description is correct? Is this a 6'6"?
It's a 6'6" awesome live bait rod for stripers and well...drum
my back hurt just watching you pick up that lol
definitely some big ass black drum
great video enjoying your channel
Any word on the drum this year..I know your down south just asking
You didnt catch a black drum, You caught a fully grown man haha! That drum was insane! I can only imagine the feeling of a 60+lb drum sitting on your lap, incredible.
Ridiculous fish!

I caught a 65 lb black drum on a popper from shore

8:25 -- _Easssssyyyy, fish!!!_ Heh. Nice catches, Elias! Glad that you caught your first couple Black Drum!

I'm probably missing something, but what was the empty soda bottle for?
Jason Todd it acts as a buoy so he doesn’t lose his anchor when he unclips from it

Wow man they’re like miniature Goliath grouper
