    Back in 70s I worked downtown. My boss at the time was an old fella who really enjoyed fishing and eating fresh fish. Every morning he would fish along the Bayfront with a live shrimp on a treble hook under a lemon rig and every morning he would bring in several nice trout and clean them in the garage at work.

      Hes a moron. "You wanna keep the fish as healthy as possible" as he literally jus drops the fish in the water upside down and lets it go. Guaranteed that fish died.

    in a situation like that, I usually drag bigger fish to the beach, or anywhere where its shallow. Its simply less exhausting. Great catch.

    Wow! I recall back during Spring Break 84 while everyone was on S. Padre Island, we were working the surf on Boca Chica Beach and my friend's father hooked a black drum about that on 14 lb test. Took him 1 hr to bring him in. He began to use the waves to help so the line wouldn't break. It was a great day.

    • @txprospector
      @txprospector 2 роки тому +2

    Well Mr. Coop, you outdid yourself on this one, a true trophy on a 2k reel and what looks like an ultra light power 10 lb rod! great job, she was a gentle giant, there's no way you would have accomplished that with a same size grouper or jack. Keep the vids coming bud, us landlocked anglers sure do appreciate it.

    Hey Coop
    Wow bro - what a great vid.
    You are the MAN - man So cool to see that monster and how he hit that shrimp. They are usually kind of picky on what they will eat.
    Really enjoyed that was one of the
    biggest drum I have seen. You
    did such a great job on keeping him on.
    I sometimes fish down town around the breakwater and would see nice size drum working of the rocks and sea wall but nothing like that giant boy.
    Tks again coop - keep them coming bro.

    I love watching your videos they are always very inspiring. I used to keep all my fish but I have learned if you want to catch more and bigger fish sometimes they need to go back. Every once in awhile is fine. Keep it up I would say about 50 pounds maybe 60. Personally I fish for trout,steelhead or salmon in my area. Our local lakes are getting low so I try to give them more of a chance by fishing for other species.

  • @amccann99

    Here's a neat trick to try & it works!! Finger mullet live clip his dorsal top fin off & clip off the bottom half of its tail fin. Treble hook one prong just under under where it's top fin was. Ever use a spoon lure? It works based on silver silhouette bait fish constant flash. NOW SO DIES YOUR MULLET. It can't swim upright now and constantly flashes sulouett. Salt grass flats esp. If you score with a cast net? ALWAYS DO THIS. Cast it back in the school. Yours WILL BE singles out quickly
