As one who has dealt with clinical depression some years ago, I truly empathize with what you are going through. Thankfully, I was able to work through it with a lot of help. Hang in there, Matt..I hope and pray you can put it behind you. Tight lines and God bless!
Hmmm.....Ron gets cheese balls, Brant gets buffalo balls jerky, and you get books!!!!! Lol 😂 I’d take the books any day. Love your channel!! Stay bummy my friend
Great video. As someone who has anxiety issues, I appreciate you bringing it to light. It is a tough road, but a road that when you travel it will make you stronger.
I hope I can fish with you one day, seeing your videos daily honestly makes my day a whole lot better. Considering I live in north Texas I travel to the gulf coast around 3-5 times a year and JUST this year I've been getting more bites and more fish because of you. Thank you so much for being such an awesome person!
Thank you for all of the videos!! They have renergized my love of surf fishing! Also wonderful to hear that you are a brother in Christ! Bless you and your family!
You are appreciated and prayed for Matt. I love your videos and hopefully one day my videos will impact people as positively as yours do! Keep fighting the good fight!
Hey hey Matt! Always blessed to see you fresh content. Fred is always an added blessing. Ole Fred made out like a bandit today. Praying that you find resolve for your anxiety issue. I too am a fighter of clinical depression. We can win!!!
I was just there from 20-29 August…after Fred and Grace and before Ida…we left one day early from Ft a organ due to Ida. Wading out to the second sand bar and casting to the deep blue water, I caught some huge lady fish, including one stud over 30”. PB ladyfish. We caught specks, blues, whiting , and blacktips from the surf but it was rough water all but one day. Oh, and lots of hard heads. Lots of hard heads! My SIL took a bluefish that was big for the Gulf…5-7 lbs. Love it there.
I love it, u r a solid dude. It's ok to not be a big reader when you are a big fisherman. It's just that u speak on real life and your beliefs and alot of people really appreciate that. Keep doing u brother. RESPECT and Support.
Ohh so 40 braid to 80 mono to 40 lb wire. Surprised it cast so well. It is spooled up to the tip top. Do u make the mono and wire short enough so it doesn’t travel through the guides when casting?
Is this fishin rod the PFS1225S106? Looked it up and found 3 different ones lol. I like using exactly what you use cause so far it has made my surf fishin catches above and beyond what it had been years prior to watching you and the rest the guys there.
Hey Matt, stay busy and distracted. It's the best way to 'get through' life's issues with anxiety and depression. You have a beautiful family in the corner, keep going out for the next round and learn to slip those punches so ya don't get hit hard in the future. Tights lines bro.😉
Awesome video, I learn every time I watch you. Can you elaborate on the diamond jigs you use? I never catch anything on them - probably my technique, but I’m willing to keep trying! Thanks.
Your truly a wonderful and cool dude. we all thank you for keeping it real and true if you will. been following for a few now i believe and really have related to your light'er fishing style and whipping out the "Heavier" gear once in a while. my heavy tackle is a 10ft tsunami trophy II with a tsunami shield 5000 or a penn battle 6000 with 30-40lb braid with up to 2.5 maybe 3oz lures max. I've learned i think more from you and maybe one or two other people to help tune my fishing skills to what i do today. most of the time i use a wright mcgill 8'6" and a 3500 reel with 20lb braid hi-vis to a 20-30 lb leader for light-er tackle surf fishing or for porgy, kingfish, croaker fishing and some lighter lures of about 1/2-3/4oz maybe 1 ouce lures and then the 9ft penn prevail for slightly heavier and then the 10ft setup as listed before for essentially everything else for possibly the semi larger species here in the northeast aka south east of CT. the fish here usually as you know from your cape cod trip striped bass, Blues, and similar are very large and those are the two species i target when using the 9 or 10ft. But sometimes if i want to be sporty if you will ill grab a 7ft gold cup spinning rod 7ft medium i think it is and the diawa bg 3500 and hit the beach, pier and throw the heddon saltwater spook in the about 7/8-1 ounce lure with the front two trebles taken off and cast and moderate speed just retrieve it with the occasional twitches everyso often for the blues and let say its awsome especially when its the 10lb-13 maybe 14lb blue as you have seen up here lets say its fun. But thank you for all your help and time you put in to allow us to see your life and passion for the outdoors, your family and the wonderful life and showing the positive and negative days of said fishing and other things as well. Keep up the amazing work and cant wait to see what this season may bring for you and your family as well as your channel and your company.
Love your videos. I recently moved to Florida, fish the beach near New Smyrna beach a lot. I really appreciate your videos. I have learned much from rod & real selection, rigs, bait. I’ve become more successful every time I go out. Loved this video, is like what I fish in most of the time, ruff surf.
Hey how much is that combo go for like to try it once before I end my journey heck yeah thanks for the video and crazy weather please let me know thanks
Cool video brother keep them coming and remember enjoy today to the fullest because yesterday is gone and tomorrow may never come God bless you and yours nothing but love from Ohio
@@BamaBeachBum next time my friend! I've crossed path with you several times at this point. don't wanna fan boy out on you every time...hahaha. just know we appreciate you and I've personally learned a lot from you! enjoy the day brother!
I also got your new Bummy stick waiting to get a reel from Dusty or Chris at Sams on one of our next trips! Can’t wait to use it! It is a good looking rod. Very impressive!! Good job!!
A statement that is so simple that can be so hard to stick with. " To dwell on something you have absolutely no control over is a to total waste of energy "
There yinz have it, y'all are to write a book. 🤔. Maybe titled. "Dealing With Anxiety... Fishing & Chillin' With Fred". 🙄... I know, that was really really bad. It's just I'm getting so anxious to get back to the shores of Alabama and wet some lines. Regards to Fred and 'fish on'. 'toopid me, most forgot. Good luck hitting your hundred thousand mark and with your new brand of surf rods.
My messages are a lost cause. I gave up on them. I try to respond to questions in my comments as best I can, but that’s all I can keep up with these days.
Hey there. I've seen some really dangerous advice here. My biggest problem is I try to stay busy and distracted but that never addresses the core issue of my anxieties. The only thing that I have found that helps me is counseling or therapy (whatever you wish to call it) and Christ... Not necessarily in that order. You are no less a Christian or a man if you admit your weakness and seek help. That's actually courageous believe it or not.
Few things hurt more than a leather jacket fin in your finger. Their poison is as bad as a catfish. But not as bad as a stingray, trust me. That hurts for weeks.. Cool video, I hope things are working out for you. That beach reminds me of Costa Rica with the waves.. I ordered some Slam Shadies from your link the other day. Can't wait to try them!
I can kind of tell where you're heading when you're at the beach but not always. Have you thought of adding reading the water, just some comments of what you see, wave patterns, bait, birds and maybe edit in some graphics pointing to or outlining features?
Hey love the videos. Thanks for all the advice. We live in GS and love to go fishing. We are not have the best of luck yet. When did you record this was it 9/5? We had no luck this weekend except with the cats fish.
Them quick clips don’t stop you from catching fish? I try not to use stuff like that and directly tie when I can. If I’m anticipating catching a shark I like to use crimps and steel lead. Cool to see other people’s set ups and how they work for them. Love the content bro. God bless.
Have you ever heard of a spoon called reflect oh my grandmother and grandfather lived in Ormond Beach and he always used a number one reflective spoon I still got two but I’d like to see about getting more thank you
Don't underestimate the anxiety issues you are dealing with right now. They can become a real life threatening situation. You have a no idea how lucky you are to have a ton of people from all over helping you in one way or the other. Give those books a try and keep on fishing my friend.
You know what would be a funny video. Catching a hardhead setting pole in rod holder. Coming back and shooting it off Hook with a Glock. Anyone who's been hit in the knuckle by one of them fins can feel this
You sure that was 50? looked more like 45 to me.
You got me…
Haha 😄🤣 good one @beardedbrad
He thought he was on the clickbaiterz page not his own.
Nah it was 49

Didn't know I'd be watching Mark Whalberg fishing today lol good stuff

Hey from Ft. Worth!!
Same!
Glad you enjoy them! Thanks for watching.
Thank you for all of the videos!! They have renergized my love of surf fishing!
Also wonderful to hear that you are a brother in Christ! Bless you and your family!
OH NO!!!!! Fred is multypling WATCH OUT!!!! RUN!!! .... LOL
You are appreciated and prayed for Matt. I love your videos and hopefully one day my videos will impact people as positively as yours do! Keep fighting the good fight!
Great video glad you posted keep them coming thanks
Great video Matt! Keep em coming!
Enjoyed all of your catches. I know the waves were problematic but it gave me a sense of peace. So thank you for that too.
The waves do sound very relaxing 😎
Keep it going. Keep sharing your gift and your faith. God has presented you with a wonderful opportunity!
Matt, where did you get those quick clips? I found a lot of different types and sizes. Which ones do you use for throwing lures? Thanks
Beach Bum, love the videos. Can’t wait to do some surf fishing!
Thank you for sharing your journey and your faith.
Enjoyed the mix bag in the surf. Cool catches for sure . Be Safe Brother.
Hey hey Matt! Always blessed to see you fresh content. Fred is always an added blessing. Ole Fred made out like a bandit today. Praying that you find resolve for your anxiety issue. I too am a fighter of clinical depression. We can win!!!

Thank you for showing us what you use👍
Great video! I need to move closer to the beach so I can surf fish more. Have a great day!!
Glad to hear #SaltStrong reached out to you! You have a cheerful personality, I wouldn't be surprized if they invited you for a zoom webinar
Great fishing video you caught really nice fish
I learned about leatherjackets two years ago fishing out of PCB. I had never caught one before. Their spine punctures sting!
Thanks for going through the gear you used, very helpful.
FREDS ville 🤣🤣🤣 awesome 👌 content bro. Keep it. 100k is on the horizon 👊👊🥳🥳
"Get bigger" throws it on the sand 🤣

After watching you , I've got to come down and fish the beach , I live in Shelby County Al.
Love your videos. I recently moved to Florida, fish the beach near New Smyrna beach a lot. I really appreciate your videos. I have learned much from rod & real selection, rigs, bait. I’ve become more successful every time I go out. Loved this video, is like what I fish in most of the time, ruff surf.
Love fishing and love your vids
Those Slams are WICKED! Great baits!
Leather jacket lol ! Never heard of them before it looks like a rubber swim bait
Awesome videos as usual, Thanks Brotha 🎣 🦦 🐟
You need a catch phrased. Lets go with "ooh yeah baby"
Nice video what area do you like to fish Atlantic side of Florida or the Gulf side of Florida
Hey how much is that combo go for like to try it once before I end my journey heck yeah thanks for the video and crazy weather please let me know thanks
Fred for the win today👏
Check your B12 level; make sure it's not in low end of the range; also check your Homocysteine level, and make sure it's not elevated
Cool video brother keep them coming and remember enjoy today to the fullest because yesterday is gone and tomorrow may never come
God bless you and yours nothing but love from Ohio
Got a question on the bunny stick if you had to change one thing what would it be???
I was fishing along side you at the point this morning. always great to watch you work! keep it up my brother!
Should have said hey!
@@BamaBeachBum next time my friend! I've crossed path with you several times at this point. don't wanna fan boy out on you every time...hahaha. just know we appreciate you and I've personally learned a lot from you! enjoy the day brother!
Love your enthusiasm and your clean videos.
Which point? Fort Morgan,?
I also got your new Bummy stick waiting to get a reel from Dusty or Chris at Sams on one of our next trips! Can’t wait to use it! It is a good looking rod. Very impressive!! Good job!!
Thanks! And they can definitely hook you up!
A statement that is so simple that can be so hard to stick with. " To dwell on something you have absolutely no control over is a to total waste of energy "
loving the reel, what is it???
Great vid brother !! I guess Fred wasn’t to bad there. Looked pretty good. Plus you need to get some 🐊🐊 on your feet !!
Hope and help is a very good book! Follow the steps, they work!💫
There yinz have it, y'all are to write a book.
🤔. Maybe titled. "Dealing With Anxiety... Fishing & Chillin' With Fred".
🙄... I know, that was really really bad. It's just I'm getting so anxious to get back to the shores of Alabama and wet some lines.
Regards to Fred and 'fish on'.
'toopid me, most forgot. Good luck hitting your hundred thousand mark and with your new brand of surf rods.
If you want to save some possible shoulder problems in the future and gain a few yards lead with your hips.
What line are you using in this video? Blue stuff?
Spent all morning casting around schools of mullet. No luck for me today.
My wife says the Hope and Help book is very very good. Really hope it helps!
We need an interview with Fred video 🤣🤣🤣
Are you going to be getting the new slammer 4?
Well he was a fisherman. Nice Ray you caught.
Love the content. Also messaged you on Facebook never heard back from you. I just had a couple questions I needed answers from you
My messages are a lost cause. I gave up on them. I try to respond to questions in my comments as best I can, but that’s all I can keep up with these days.
@@BamaBeachBum I don't even know if that's your real Facebook page tbh
Do you know it not good for the stingray when you handle them like that?
Hey there. I've seen some really dangerous advice here. My biggest problem is I try to stay busy and distracted but that never addresses the core issue of my anxieties.

Hey what’s going on with the last video you upload it said it’s private? I can’t see it
Are leather jackets fins like a cat fish or are they super sharp
Good little video Bummy.
Few things hurt more than a leather jacket fin in your finger. Their poison is as bad as a catfish. But not as bad as a stingray, trust me. That hurts for weeks..

I hit the like button to show your videos to more people. Goal: more subscribers than the kleptomaniac.😉😂😂
About how much do one of those poles and reels cost please thank you
Will you be on east coast at all this year
Hey love the videos. Thanks for all the advice. We live in GS and love to go fishing. We are not have the best of luck yet. When did you record this was it 9/5? We had no luck this weekend except with the cats fish.
No it’s been a week or so
I met my first leatherjacket using my cast net at ST George Island in 2018. Tried to just pick it up and toss it back. Not a pleasant experience.
Great video, Matt! Stud of a lady fish! Stay Safe and Healthy
Knocking on 95k…..let’s go BumMeister!
Subscribed. Let me know if you want to do a fishing video in Destin..Miramar Beach. I'll be there in three weeks. Fellow Christian as well.
Speaking of Fred. 🦆🦆🦆🎣🌀
Pro move on the wire. I lost two poppers to sharks surf casting over the weekend. Awesome blowups, though!
Them quick clips don’t stop you from catching fish? I try not to use stuff like that and directly tie when I can. If I’m anticipating catching a shark I like to use crimps and steel lead. Cool to see other people’s set ups and how they work for them. Love the content bro. God bless.
For beach side stuff it hasn’t hindered me. I’ve used them a lot this season.
@zackr6 I fished fresh most my life and I’m still learning what works in salt.
Nice video man
Have you ever heard of a spoon called reflect oh my grandmother and grandfather lived in Ormond Beach and he always used a number one reflective spoon I still got two but I’d like to see about getting more thank you
I never have heard of it.
I caught a 3 pound bluefish and tried it for the first time. I can’t believe you like it.
How do you tie the wire leader to power clip?
Just wondering, you're using a spinning reel why are the eyes on the rod so small like a casting rod.
It is a spinning rod. Not sure as to why the design is that way. But it casts great!
Great surf trip considering the conditions
Caught a nice Ray here in NC last week. Its up on my channel!
What is your favorite species to target. I know it maybe different in surf vs shallows, just was wondering. I do enjoy your videos, keep lines wet👍
So close to 100k
Don't underestimate the anxiety issues you are dealing with right now. They can become a real life threatening situation. You have a no idea how lucky you are to have a ton of people from all over helping you in one way or the other. Give those books a try and keep on fishing my friend.
You know what would be a funny video.
Catching a hardhead setting pole in rod holder.
Coming back and shooting it off Hook with a Glock.
Anyone who's been hit in the knuckle by one of them fins can feel this
What braid LB are you running and lure?
40lb braid. I cover lures at the end.
Combo?
God bless you buddy
Great job bro
The beach monster is the sting ray?
Hey Matt what made you use the star rod over your bummy stick?
I’ve got to get the reel fixed on that rod. It’s noisy and drives people crazy that watch my vids. Lol
@@BamaBeachBum dang so thoughtful. Best luck my man!
