Don’t reel it in and set the hook until you feel a tug or pull 🎣 When your rod is thumping that means the fish is cautiously nibbling your bait, once you feel a tug/pull your rod will bend and that’s your cue to set the hook 🪝 I used to be anxious and always try and set the hook and reel it in while they were nibbling 🐟 All that did was: Scare the fish, Waste my bait, and Waste my time 🕰
I know how that feels, I was in a smaller creek for pike today, I had about 10 fish on the line and I with set the hook to early or not at all I guess... I only caught 1!!😂😂
@@footos8511 Yeah when I was a beginner I was trigger happy😂 When i reeled in I thought a fish was on, but really it was debris and I yanked a stick with no luck
I use a thicker pole 7 meters with no reel and with the float thing that goes down when the fish is on. I cant feel shit until i hooked it and sometimes i miss it and they fall or i miss them. Idk the trick.
I can't wait for my 3 year old to start fishing. Your boy catching that fish brought me tears of joy. I can't wait to see the look on my boys face when he does land his first fish
Just started fishing about a week ago, I could not figure out why my bait kept getting stolen, heading to the lake tomorrow morning with this strat, wish me luck.
Can confirm, after 2 weeks I have a nice list of fish on my belt. 3 largemouth bass one of em 14 inches in length! 1 smallmouth, a bunch of bluegill and pumpkinseeds and a white crappie! Thanks for the info man!
Occasionally lol, but i was wondering if you've tried setting the hook sideways, it is way more efficient than pulling back. I find that pulling back pulls the hook straight out of the mouth, and when you yank it sideways, either to the left or to the right, it touches more of the fishes mouth, which makes it way easier to hook the fish and get a good hook set. About 90%of the fish i catch are hooked perfectly because of this, and you certainly should give it a try.
When I went fishing for the first time I had no idea what I was doing. I was with some mates but none of them told me what to do when the bite alarm goes off. Fish bit the hook. I held the rod like a pleb and fish ran off. Very depressing day...
@@TheOtherGinger your fish story has won you a trip with Captain Erik aboard his vessel for a trip of a lifetime in Tampa Bay good for all of 2021. Cheers mate. DMs for details.
Just went fishing yesterday and I lost my bait about 15 times lol. I was able to catch a Croaker only twice. Gonna keep this in my mind next time I go out. Thanks for the help!
@@CaptainErikLIVE NICE!!! I can’t wait for my boy to get his first fish. He’s starting to get the feel now. He got a bass tangled up in the weeds and lost him. Almost.
Kudos to little man for his finesse with a spinning reel though! Once he learns to set that hook he will be smoking those fish! Keep up the practice lil guy 🤙🏻
i just started fishing and all I seem to do is feed the fish lol my drag is always too light and my line has too much slack... i have so much to learn lol
Went fishing today. I got so many little nibbles but only got an actual bite once. Pinfish I caught. It's hard to tell what's a nibble and what's a bite.
Started fishing a few months ago. Caught one big tilapia so far, lost one today and on Sunday. Need to get better at setting the hook as well as knowing when it’s a bite vs. cover, current etc.
I keep seeing comments on how people get there bait stolen and when when doing this start they start catching fish, I’m fishing this Friday I am definitely trying this
this video gives me the "even a kid can do it" vibes. and i absolutely love it. Great video and your instructions to your boy is great! when he caught that trout you were so proud of him! 🥰
Sure: gently begin to reel the line back to you to make your line tight. once your line is tight, let it sit there for a few moments. Tight line insures that you will be able to feel when a fish is taking the bait. Once you feel like its got a bite of the hook, SET!
Sometimes fish populations have trouble and we all commit to letting them swim and breed another day. Here in SW FL, the red tide killed millions of fish.
Double dare you to change your language from “I can’t” to “I will”. Make sure you keep your rod tip in the air and try to rip that fishes lips off with your set! Good luck mate.
You are not ugly! You are not dumb! You are smart! You are beautiful! You are loved! You are so beautiful! You have so much Worth! You are beautiful just the way you look! You have meaning! Never forget these Beautiful Brethren! I am not a robot!
My fish count will now increase, from 2 (pufferfish) (one I just accidentally stepped on when someone decided to leave it there?) and the other one, from an infested lake.
i saw a limp wristed computer nerd get pro advise but he still failed, it can be frustrating seeing someone as ignorant as that quit fishing all together because it didn't work right away, and didn't get any instant gratification, they didn't even try.

That’s exactly where I’m at. So I wait till my rob bends?

Excellent! Thank you for watching! May your water be clean and your fish be mighty!!!
That's what I'm talking about man. It's glorious. My son hooked and landed his first largemouth about 2 months ago, can't beat it.
My kids caught their first fish the other day, just a couple blue gill but they of course LOVED it!
Great teaching being patient 🤙🏾
Thank you for watching!

We believe in you Boi! Keep a slight tightness on your line and you’ll be getting all the keepers.
Same here. I was basically just feeding the fish lmao
it works! it was the biggest tip i ever got when i first started fishing. You'll double-triple your catch rate with it!
How many of you have missed a fish because you forgot to set the hook?
Occasionally lol, but i was wondering if you've tried setting the hook sideways, it is way more efficient than pulling back. I find that pulling back pulls the hook straight out of the mouth, and when you yank it sideways, either to the left or to the right, it touches more of the fishes mouth, which makes it way easier to hook the fish and get a good hook set.

Plenty of them lol.
It just happened to me twice in a row
omg kids fishing is one of the most adorable things in the world hahaha. Great video for everybody honestly lol
My buddy always said:
“Lou, you’re just feeding the fish today.”
Enough is enough! 🤣
That's hilarious ngl

Beginner here... The whole time, I thought "set the hook" meant something complicated 😅.
Thanks for explaining 😊
You the man!
Caught my first fish today with this tip! Thanks 😁
Great work!! What kind of fish was it?
Dude that’s awesome
This makes so much sense bud! Thanks for sharing this.
We’re thrilled to help! Thank you for watching.
Awesome dad right there
@@emilof we’re all somebody’s son or daughter.🥰
Awe. He was so happy he looked like he wanted to cry. You could see the adrenaline too. He was breathing so hard. 😂
He worked so hard for it! Fast forward two years later and he is throwing down fishing challenges with me now😍
@@CaptainErikLIVE NICE!!! I can’t wait for my boy to get his first fish. He’s starting to get the feel now. He got a bass tangled up in the weeds and lost him. Almost.
My man set the hook with the tight line reel like I do omg Lil man might be better then me ... Look out guys !!! ;) so proud !
Thanks for watching Gulf Coast SharkBoys!
Any tips to set the
Kudos to little man for his finesse with a spinning reel though! Once he learns to set that hook he will be smoking those fish! Keep up the practice lil guy 🤙🏻
yep! little dude was gettin bites for sure, he's just gotta get that motion down. id assume by now he's doing great, since its been a few years haha
i just started fishing and all I seem to do is feed the fish lol my drag is always too light and my line has too much slack... i have so much to learn lol
It is part of the journey mate!
Best thing I saw today.... First of many I'm sure!
Thank you so much.
What an angel. Gotta love that kid
The best 👌🏽 hand hurting and everything! ❤
@@robinsonblanc you see him shake it off😍
He worked so hard!
Good job buddy! Nice fish!

This was a awesome video. Loved that you got him getting that. all smiles lol Awesome work!
IIxJMLxII thank you for watching!
I once yanked the pole so hard it sent the hook through the fish’s dorsal instead of its mouth 😭 and i still caught it
One time I yanked it so hard, all I reeled in was its eyeball 😂
The ol’ DR snag
best explanation ever.
This helped me out I always get my bait eaten.
We’re thrilled this helped you out!
was so happy when the kid finally got the fish..
Achievement!
Reminds me of my son . Great video
Thank you for watching mate!
Great video, I was really rooting for the little fella lol
He got eel!
Eem* lol
Started fishing a few months ago. Caught one big tilapia so far, lost one today and on Sunday. Need to get better at setting the hook as well as knowing when it’s a bite vs. cover, current etc.
Excellent attitude, you’ll be slaying them in no time. Also, I’ll make a video about the difference
What a video, like it
Thank you this helped me out a lot
Undrasil you’re welcome! Don’t forget to share that catch with us😋

love the videos with my 8 year old son
Wonderful report! Thank you for watching!
as a father I loved this vid

So funny I’m watching this going “huh looks like Florida “ then you said it 😂 headed to fish for the first time alone today in Tampa bay!
Thank you for watching! Did you catch?
@@CaptainErikLIVE I did! First time off Gulfport pier.
This dude just ripping fishes lips off
Thank you for watching!
😂
Can I get a brief description of what to do after I cast my line. Like a detailed...
Sure: gently begin to reel the line back to you to make your line tight. once your line is tight, let it sit there for a few moments. Tight line insures that you will be able to feel when a fish is taking the bait. Once you feel like its got a bite of the hook, SET!
I’m just here to make sure I was taught the right way
🥰
@@CaptainErikLIVE 👍👍👍👍👍
lol great vid
Thank you for watching!
Good vibes
Your'e a good dad.
☺️
lmao i like the ending clip
Thank you Martin! We’ve some big FishMäck plans for 2022.
I got circle hooks I keep missing big fish
You don’t gotta set the hook with circle hooks just reel in
What do you don when you feel a bunch of little bites but they never latch on? It’s like they just nibble it but don’t want to commit
Then the fish are too tiny and if you hook one it'll be just used for bait for the bigger ones haha
27 years old watching this thanks dad
🥰
Why do the regulations say you can't eat em? Im from cali, and new to fishing.
Sometimes fish populations have trouble and we all commit to letting them swim and breed another day. Here in SW FL, the red tide killed millions of fish.
Just like my son can we eat him lol my son however shows off because I have issues setting the hook so he shows off and yanks hard lol
😂😅. Way to get them out fishing! Teach them where quality food comes from. Thank you for watching.
I can never seem to get a propper hook set ill bring a fish half way in and loose it or just as im landing it ittle fall off
Double dare you to change your language from “I can’t” to “I will”. Make sure you keep your rod tip in the air and try to rip that fishes lips off with your set! Good luck mate.
Thank u for this lesson
You’re welcome, Have you been catching?
I've found it's also easier to do this without a bobber. That way, you feel more of a tug on the line.
You look like a mix of Chris evans in Scott pilgrim vs. the world and Kendal gray😂
I am the love child of many mentors 💯. Thank you for watching.
its hard to take anyone seriously, that is stupid enough to make a video WHILE DRIVING!
I believe in you..

Mt anger issue's could never deal with him
Many have tried to scale mount anger
Just lost 2 trouts today.. 😒😭😁
Oh nooo! Those are the ones that keep us going back.
I was making a rap song and I needed hook
he should just fix the way he's holding the rod, it just leads unnecessary soreness
Me tryna work on my hook set
Meet those Requirements! I believe in you.
Tired of nibbles and not hooking the fish, been reeling in wayy to to fast. been getting too excited
Level up !
I was about throw my rod because that bull shit today
Should i be ashamed to have a push button i realy want a spuncaster.
The worst rod and reel you can have is the ones without bait in the water.
I broke the rod In 3 💀 I tried to set the hook too hard
Lips
…the teeth, the tip of the tongue.
poor fish oh well its food
Eat or be eaten 🙏
i saw a limp wristed computer nerd get pro advise but he still failed, it can be frustrating seeing someone as ignorant as that quit fishing all together because it didn't work right away, and didn't get any instant gratification, they didn't even try.
Good bless him
Too much talk….
Thank you for watching Ich anger
Get that kid a computer.
