Great content here if you're not already watching it's well worth it.
@@WVCUR77 EAT HIM‼️‼️‼️
Which island were fish by I fish the islands and pilot and never catch drum as big
Hi I'm trying to comment on your video but it won't let me
I loved your videos catch and released and keep only ones you want to take home.🐟🎣👍🏼
Big Nasty took you for a sleigh ride! That sheepshead was a slob! Thanks for the ride along! Tight lines.
When he says @8:20 “he’s a real old one, try to take the best care of em” and then plunges it in the water 🤣🤣 “sometimes a plunge is better than a swishy swishy” 🤣🤣🤣 that should go on a shirt. Great catch and good quality content 🙌🏾🤙🏾
🤣🤣🤣🤣
It’s dope when Elias is in your home town killing it
Is that the CBBT?
@@kirkshiloh2843 yessir
Thought so, thanks
Stay salty I just subbed up 👍🏼
Definitely!
Beautiful black drum!! Keep those bridge monsters coming!! Thanks for sharing the day with us!!
Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel?
Another bucket list spot. Thanks, Elias. Looks like you had a good day!!
The Black Drum was a brute. Well done.
You are amazingly consistent at turning up good fish, where ever you are. Thumbs up! I'm surprised at how small a bait you use some times. I would put on that whole blue crab for a big drum.
Outstanding bridge fishing video! Some people think it's easy fishing around bridges, current and multiple barnacle covered pilings, it's NOT! Great job!
Good day cathin' BTW I agree with the "New Butterfinger" not being the same. I'm glad someone else said it too. LOL
I love pulling my boat out at the ramp and seeing the Ranger standing there asking to see inside the ice box! Haha. I dropped off the fish at a different spot. Hehe
That was a MONSTER drum ... OUTSTANDING. Good looking convict fish too.
Dude, You picking the Big Drum up on the Kayak is Awesome.. Shows the Size of the Huge Fish.. Great Catch !!
Loved it, nothing better than an kayak towing bridge monster video. The first Elias video I watched a couple years ago was a bridge monster video like this, I'm not positive but it looks like the same bridge. I also would love to see Meg do one of these, her reactions to being towed everywhere could be priceless 😂
Elias, Show us the bridge monsters. "Crush Them" Prayers sent for Meg,Elias. God bless
WOW Thats a HUGE one! God bless
U R 1 heck of a fisherman! Luv your content bro.
Great vid! And the colab. with #OneFishTwoFish Awesome!!!🎣🙌🏼🎣👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Love the fiddler crab dispenser! 🤣
Great fish, dude! I'm not digging our "two week blitz" for flounder either......
OMG! When you were pulling in that monster, I was thinking, what if that fish jumps in the kayak and knocks you out into the water? So much respect for how you handled that fish and made sure he was in good shape! You definitely earned a new subscriber and a LIKE!
Thats a float , not a kayak , kayaks have holes you sit in. Ask a eskimo.
Nice Drum! We head into the Delaware Bay for the Drum run every year right before fluke season opens in Jersey. Got five this year. Good eating!
Well now "that" is a Drum. Sweet.. Glad he recovered so well. Big old fish. Nice to know he's still down there.
Down here in SC, the regs just changed for flounder. Went from 15" min. 10 per person per day / 20 flounder boat limit to 16" min. 5 per person per day / 10 flounder boat limit. We are feeling the impact of fewer flounder here, too. They just aren't as big or as many as seasons past.
That fish was a straight POWER HOUSE!
This got me hooked haven’t been fishing in about 2 years now this video makes me want to get back out there and hit the water!
@@darnellmunerlyn7617 I hope you eventually get to go out and fish brother. I’m gonna go out and hit the water today. Gotta always try to make time for the things that one enjoys no matter what stay up!
you said flounder and i remembered a special fishing trip with my grandfather in miami florida in the 80's. short story- I was 10 years old and spotted a big flounder off a water way sitting below in 3 feet of water and my grandpa said that's good eating so I hit the fish with all my might with a big rock. our family had a great dinner that night and a story that last to this day.
Awesome video with a great choice of reel. I love the Penn spinfishers
Huge fish, Omg that was a beast, sheeps in between, very nice
When I hear Chesapeake, I think of striped bass. Now I think of Bridge Monstahs.
That drum put up a good fight . Enjoyed the watching
Wow!! Great fish!
Back on the drum! gotta invite Sea money and Tenzin down !
Big black drum always take a while to get going. They’re beasts for sure and a blast to catch
I dig those Slammers for handling big fish on smaller set ups. Expensive but an awesome reel for big drum.
Heading down to the cbbt tonight! Hopefully we’ll find some flounder!
Damn right brother!!! Well done!
Nice! Blackies are great fun to catch! Used to hook up some nice ones down in Jacksonville on the San Pablo river.
Sweet vid Elias..🤙🏼🤙🏼..
New Subscriber from South Texas, that was an awesome catch, nice video tight lines my friend 🤙
Nothing like the crab rag 😆
Lovely fish mate well done
Virginia Beach glad to have you here
that looks like so much fun ..great tackle size choice
Great video nice fish😁 I'm yet to catch one from kayak.
Good stuff man!
Sheepshead is one of my all time favorite fish to eat. What an awesome fish! I need to get one of these boats, usually just catch them off the dock with frozen shrimp. Fantastic video
Hell naw!!! to each its own...
fried sheepshead nugget fish tacos my man 🤤
Was a 50 lber I'm always envious of the nice sheeps you get up there.
Your vid was almost my kayak experience with a 42 inch black drum. Except mine was at 00:15 in the morning. Try night fishing for an added thrill. There is nothing like being towed around in a kayak, by a big fish on a moonless night. And..., I really enjoyed your vid.
You wanna find flounder hit the eastern shore side around the concrete ships monster door mats over there and cobia have been great so far this year I've caught 6 50+" and 1 over 60" all near blue fish rock and ocean view Area
@Craven Sumgood it was :)
@Craven Sumgood That was random
@Craven Sumgood You good? Seems like you have some pent up anger that Trump was a good president & deep-down knowing that those vote counts/times recorded don’t lie…..just remember, you all were crying the rigged election note back when Trump was elected, when he rightfully won & will again in 2024 😉
Use a white bucktail 2oz or bigger with a strip of croaker meat or spot or bluefish keep it looking neat, strips of meat not a chunk. Jig it around the pilings on the bottom. Avoid sheep areas. Just my two cents from fishing the cbbt for flounder
That was a beautiful sheepshead!
Lots of fish regs from state to state are confusing. I’ve been a big proponent of slots for a number of species. Protects the young and breeders but still gives the anglers an opportunity for keepers.
I was listening to this video in my car through the speakers. You can hear him thumpin away as your trying to revive him. Beast
I bet it really is fun to catch those big drums in a yak. They are a unrated fish. We have some true monsters where I live.
Nice! A charter captain out of Cape Charles (just a little north of where you were) told me that a black drums weight is also it's age...
Huhhhhhhhh You telling me drum get to 40+?!?!?
@@timberwolfe338 Actually, black drum can reach 60 years of age! Wild!
@@jasonstern6499 what the heckkk. I knew they got old, but 60 is willldd
Wow awesome catch 👍🏾
The "uh oh" had me laughing 🤣
Holy Moly Elias ... That first fish was a baby whale 🐟
Always on some sort of fun adventure. Thats why im a subscriber
That's a huge drum! 👍
When that Drum came to the surface my jaw just opened up and flies flew in! What an absolute monster. Pulling something like that on your lap is not for the novice kayak fisherman.
Nice catch 👍
Tank drum,Hello.Great Catch.
Excellent stuff bro
Always quality stuff! What’s up from the ol’Raritan Bay!
Wish we had regular drum in the raritan
My hometown. Check out the Lesner bridge next time your up here. I do alot of my fishing there and it can be loaded.
You used to hook into black drum like that and sheep head at Sebastian inlet, back in the day. But now it's so overpopulated and so overfished you don't catch crap out there.
What about jewfish?
Wonderful catch bro bridge monster good luck
What Mast mount go pro camera are you using? I have the ball for the mast mount but trying to figure out a good length for the stick
Amazing Thank you !👏 💓👍
Hello from Hampton Roads VA!! Cool video!
Elias: ah but be do be very careful with these fish also Elias: yeet and it ends up floating
During that first fish it sounded like you were making love with the fish while you were fighting it. LOVE IT
WTF? Lol
Omg too far. Lol
Strange comment.....
Ah yes “I think I’m out of the danger zone”
It drums and does he say gosh...or does he say ...hush... 😂
Man what a monster!!!! Nicely done sir 🤙🏻
Nice catch
The drum sound echoes off the boat hull awesome video
Hells YESSSSSSSSSS! Nice Drum!
No ads played. That monster sized black drum had a terrible sense of rhythm... whoa boy that was a big fish.
I really want to travel north and fish that bridge some time. Always love watching the videos you and Jeff do out there. And I have to agree, the new butterfinger is no where near as good as the old one.
All the way from Newport news VA to Chesapeake bay Norfolk VA I live here and you'll be surprise especially around James town and VA beach as well
The north end of the bridge is better for flounder
What bridge is this ? Bridge tunnel ?
Lmao that crab was turned into a potato when you cut all its limbs off 😂
I grew up on the Chesapeake bay & caught one a little bigger than this one when I was about 8 years old…..back when the striper fishing at the second tunnel “third island” was unreal. I was pitching wind cheaters into the rocks & hooked into an absolute monster black that took forever to raise him. I know you say that bridge is hard fishing and it is now….but 20+ years ago was a completely different story. I caught some monster stripers off those rocks.
awesome. thx for sharing
Awesome.. Thats a big bridge monster
Love your channel bro 😎
Awesome job
Love it!!
superbe video que du plaisir à regarder bravo
They love those crab!
I always,enjoy day chartering my inshore fishing trips. Cape Fear River area
That’s all I fish for is big black drum & we cut the blue crabs in half , they been biting pretty good here lately.
The fact that fish had stripes still amazes me
Watching you fight him I miss it my truck been down waiting on parts. Great job fighting him!!
I'm going to start spending time in tampa area like tarpon springs can't wait to get a small boat like you have
Just getting my channel started, I'm a 71 year old disabled male, just got a new mobility scooter so I can finally get to the water after having to take the city bus to one spot to fish in a wheelchair., love your channel Dude!
what a tank!!! looks like you are in Virginia on the tunnel bridges
no he is fishing the Chesapeake bay bridge its near baltimore half the way up the bay.
My wife left me over fishing. I lobster and never flounder. Lol
start at 4:23 and close your eyes and listen, lmaooo, great video though
I look from Romania , tks for all video :)
Great video. Great fish. The older I get the more I just want to leave them all alone. Thanks for taking care of that big beautiful fish.
