[music playing]
Where are we going?
[Auntie Kim] Fishing. [Erin] Crabbing.
[Brendon] Crabbing!
[Erin] Crab whackin'.
[Brendon] Crab whackin.
[Dad] Wacky wacky wacky!
[Dad] You'll see.
[Brendon singing] This is where we're fishing
it's very high tide.
Ooh.
Call the elevator?
Okay, coming, coming, coming.
[Dad] First thing, we get wacky, huh?
First thing, we've got to steal a stick. [Brendon] We're gonna get wacky.
Right off the bat. [Dad] We're going to steal--
We're going to steal
a stick first.
[Erin] Uh oh. [Brendon] Yeah, we're going to take the stick
and things are going to get a little wacky
and bloody.
[Dad] It's gonna get wacky, I'm sorry, guys.
[Erin] I'm sorry, it's going to get wacky. [Brendon] It's going to get wacky!
Good morning.
[Good morning!]
Alright, look at that beautiful terrain to fish.
I'm ready.
Here is my whacking stick.
Whacking sticks.
[Erin] Alright, you want to introduce us to your aunt?
[Brendon] This is my aunt from California,
we've been coming to Cabos for
since I was a baby, now.
Right?
and, um,
this is our first fishing adventure together, basically.
[Erin laughs]
[Auntie Kim] Yay.
I can't wait.
[Brendon] So this is a three person job,
to catch these crabs,
one person herds them in,
the other person
smacks 'em,
third person grabs them and puts 'em in the bucket.
So they don't scatter away.
So today,
our weapon of choice:
whacking sticks.
[Erin] Whackin' sticks.
[Erin] You're crazy.
[Brendon] I'm ready.
[Erin] Let's do it.
[Dad] Woah!
A lot, Batman!
Auntie Kim, you stay here.
You stay here and dry,
I'm going to go outside.
[Erin] They're all on top!
[Brendon] I need a new stick!
My stick is all broken, now it's a spear.
Oh, it's a spear!
[Laughing]
[Dad] Desintigrated!
[Brendon] Okay, we need better sticks, Dad.
Oh my god, so many of them.
[Dad] That one, right there!
[Brendon] Right here?
Oh!
Sorry.
Not dead!
[Dad] They're coming out, Brendon, they're coming out!
[Brendon] It's right there.
Get it.
Nice.
There's some on the side, right there.
[Erin exclaiming]
[Dad] It's like baseball!
It's hard to whack them, huh?
Got'em!
Thank you.
Okay, let's move rocks.
[Dad] Aaaaargh!
[Brendon screaming]
Alright, so this is the bait that we've been catching all morning,
cut off the legs,
now, some of these are hard-shell, some of these are soft-shell
the soft shell, I don't need to cut anything off,
I cut the legs off, I don't take the head off,
and now I;m going to make these in to
four pieces,
just like that.
Ah, the rig I'm using is a
drifting rig that
has--it's basically a hi-low rig
except no sinker, it's another hook,
and what you want to do is drift fish this on the rocks
and we're using this rig without a sinker
because the waves are crazy here,
and the bottom is full of rocks,
if I were to use a bottom rig, it would get snagged almost immediately.
so, remember, if you're fishing a really rocky area,
really rocky bottom,
try and throw something without sinkers,
and of you throw a sinker you've got to be really careful for getting snagged.
Dad, a big wave.
Big wave.
That's a huge one!
Hold on tight!
That went right over your head!
[Erin] Next one!
Get off of there, let's go!
There's a crab right next to your face, too! Oh my god.
Dad! There's another one, come on!
Give me your rod.
Okay, careful, careful, it's okay,
there's no more waves, there's no more waves, no more waves.
[Dad] I couldn't see anything.
[Brendon] Take this, Pop, take this.
[Erin] Brendon! Brendon!
[Brendon] We're good!
[Erin] Watch out! Hey! Brace yourself!
[Brendon] There's some deep pockets over here that I saw earlier that I want to try,
Yesterday I saw a big fish hiding under here,
let's see if he's still there.
I hear that the fish here are territorial of their
their area,
I'm not sure if that's true,
Let's find out together.
Aaaaw! I'm on---!
Noo!!!
I messed it up!
I had him!
On!
Holy crap!
holy crap!
Holy crap!
Hoohoo!
A nice one!
Holy crap, what is this guy?
Ooh!
You are a strong guy.
These guys have very sharp teeth.
Look at him! Look at that football.
That's a nice sized one, probably 3
3-4 lbs.
it may not look like it, but it's very fat
and very heavy.
It was pretty much the second I dropped my bait,
this guy hit it,
I missed it because I thought it was the tide pulling it,
but it was the fish,
so I didn't set the hook,
and uh, I was wondering if it would bite it again,
sure enough, it bit it again,
persistance paid off.
But, uh,
this is called--
actually, I'm not quite sure what this is called,
can you guys comment below, let us know?
Can you identify this fish for us?
Look at that, how beautiful the colors are,
look at the patterning on it,
look at it's tail!
Wow!
and this is a nice one.
[Erin] Fight hard?
[Brendon] It fought really hard.
Let's let him go.
[Speaking Cantonese] Do we want this?
Sashimi on the beach?
...and we're going to slice this guy up and eat him raw, right now.
Okay, so let's put him away for now.
[Mom] What kind of fish is it? Can I see it this time? I'm coming out!
[Mom] Does it have blue stripes?
[Erin] Yeah, all around its eyes.
Oh my god, there's a big fish on there! I knew it!
I knew there was a fish in there!
Ha ha ha!!
Dang!
I felt a bite, it snagged me up,
I let out the line--
so, I felt a bite
and then,
it snagged me up on a rock real quick,
So I--when it snagged me,
I let out more line,
I let out the line so it'll swim itself out of the snag,
and then it, sure enough, did.
Too small, lets let this guy go.
I'm basically looking for-for
places under rock, like shelters that
fish would hide in
and like, under this rock
is a good one, under that one,
that crevice right there,
maybe, like, maybe over there.
Let me try over here.
On!!!
That's a big one!!!
Aaaaaaargh!
Another big one!
Heh heh ha ha ha!!!
Yes!!
I sight fished for that one!
I saw him hiding!
This guy has been eating crabs all day long.
I hooked him perfectly, too.
Would ya look at that.
Look at that.
A beautiful specimen, huh?
[Erin] Yes. [Brendon] Alright, we've already got one fish,
let's put this guy away. [Erin] I agree.
Yeah!
This crab works, like, wonders!
The whackin' stck did it.
It helped us out a lot today to get those crabs,
um, I want to give you guys a warning,
although the crabs work really, really well here,
you've got to be really careful when you're-
when you're messing around rocks and waves like this,
it-it's not--
it looked like we're having a lot of fun, but we're also being very, very cautious,
and we're putting ourselves and our lives at risk when we do it and we know that,
if you ever plan on doing something like this,
make sure you take proper precautions,
I'm wearing shoes right now--
see these?
Those are spikes.
[Erin] Yeah, I have some too. [Brendon] They keep me--
they keep me from slipping on the rocks.
Um,
a lot of times what will really hurt somebody
is, with their back turned to the water,
a big wave comes unexpectedly,
which happens all the time,
and it washes them,
and they'll start tumbling and they might hit their head on a rock or something,
you guys have to be careful.
Here in Cabo San Lucas, there is
hardly any bait shops, there's like, two,
and I don't even think they sell any kind of live bait,
it's pretty much all lures,
so, really, we have to be scavenging for these-for these crabs right now.
We're not killing 'em just for fun,
There's a reason we're killing them.
We're smashing these crabs to
use for bait, to catch fish
to feed the family.
I hope you guys like this episode,
we had a lot of fun,
we have a lot of fun filming it and being out here and
catching fish and learning.
Uh, and we want to thank you guys for subscribing and being a part of our community
because without you guys we would not be here right now.
We're here to document and teach as many people how to start fishing.
That's our job at Senko Skipper.
It's to help as many of you guys.
So it really means a lot when you tell us that we're doing a good job.
We've got a website,
senkoskipper.com,
full of stuff just for you guys, anybody who needs help with fishing,
we've got a whole bunch of stuff to help you guys.
So the tide is coming in,
it's getting a little dangerous to fish,
so we're gonna-we're gonna stop for a little bit....
plus I'm like, so hot.
See ya, guys!
In our next episode we're going to slice this guy up, eat him raw.
