Hi Chris I've been enjoying your videos. I'm in MB once a week on a peddle kayak. Sorry if it's been covered, but are you anchored or does your motor system have spot lock? I'm jealous, it looks like you don't move much while fishing, while I'm floating out of the bay very quickly generally if not peddling against it.
Hey thanks for watching and reaching out. I use my thruster system to stay in place. It has a potentiometer that controls the thrust. I just dial it to what I need to keep up with the surge or to flow gently when it’s ripping. I use my flippers to steer mostly. I can basically be hands off and control direction that way. I have never used an anchor with it. I hope this helps. Cheers!
Hey thanks for watching! No i think that it was a halibut. I saw it for a moment and it didn’t look like a ray. It fought more like a halibut too, but I guess we will never know. I’ve only caught a couple rays on lures ever. I guess it’s a possibility.
Yes they are. Just have to make sure they are regulation size and I would only eat them from the parts of the bay closest to the ocean. Thanks for checking out the video!
@@chrisbrandtthebeefshaman9590 I been using braid with shock leader and its bit hard on Corvina when they jump up and do the crazy head shake to pop the hook out, with mono / floro line it has that stretch keeping the fish hooked like a shock absorber and helps the fish stay on better.
@@chrisbrandtthebeefshaman9590first view and he didn't even like the video! Rookie move.. You get the thumbs up before I even finish the video.. always great content!
what beer do you recommend for people who dont like beer lol. Also i tried to send you a DM on Ig but it wont let me so i left a comment on your recent post. tight lines.
Sorry that didn’t work not sure why that is. As for a gateway beer I can usually find something that people will like. It just depends on flavor profiles you prefer. If you like something sweeter or more bitter or whatever. You’re welcome to email me at beefshaman@gmail.com. Cheers!
Nice video 😊 I’ll see you out there one day 🤙
That you will I’m sure! Thanks for checking out the video.
Love the bay videos! Keep em coming! Can't wait to see you out there on the bay. Thanks for taking us along!
You bet! Thanks for watching!
Awesome video. Yeah that’s a bummer on the one that got away.
Had all the traits of a monster hali.
That strawberry beer sounds tasty 👍🏻
It was a fun fight that lasted almost 10 minutes. The hook just came unbuttoned. I’ll get another. Yes, the beer was better than I expected. Cheers!
Lots of fun with a BFS setup! 👍🤙
You got that right! Cheers!
Awesome video Chris. I was hoping to see that big one that got off but you slayed them out there👍🏻
You and me both! I got a glimpse and it was massive. Like I said in the video it’s better to have hooked and lost…Cheers! Thanks for watching!
Love the video! I think I’ll make a trip to mission bay! Love the minnow baits too!
Do it! Mission Bay is a fun place with lots of fish and places to go. Cheers!

Do you think that big one that came off was possibly a ray?

Cool video, are the spots good to eat?
Yes they are. Just have to make sure they are regulation size and I would only eat them from the parts of the bay closest to the ocean. Thanks for checking out the video!
I been catching some big vampires and bone fish in the bay and pesky needles fish
That’s excellent! I can’t wait to get out there and get more. Cheers!

I am a mono/flouro guy for sure. I just like to try new stuff.
First view. Do I win a prize?
Actually, yes! Glory and a sense of success! Oh, and a very rare beer tasting. Cheers!

@@TheGreasiestCatch619 Good catch, I was in such a hurry, I missed that. Fixed now.
@@DaveGhilarducci Sweet. Here's your prize 🎁
Ha! That’s hilarious!!!!
So does he find the big fish in a pt. 2 orr…
Hey thanks for watching! I did find the big fish I just didn’t get them landed. Cheers! (There will definitely need to be a part 2!)
