What's going on guys?
Today I'm going to show you how to catch a small fish
and use that small fish to catch a big fish
It's called live lining.
I'm gonna show you how to do it today
Basically what we're gonna do is we're gonna drop this down
just sit and wait for a fish
So this is the first part this is the first step is to catch the bait
What you're gonna need is a small sinker
light line and a high-low rig
You're gonna need to tie a high low rig with a small hook
This is a perfect setup for a little bait fish
now little bait fish get eaten by big fish
and that's our objective today is to start by catching the small fish
and end up with a big fish
and I'm here with Erin,
my girlfriend, my love
and what are you using? You're using the-- oh using the same setup as I just talked about
so we're just gonna drop it into the water
Sit and wait
[Erin:] Ooh,
I got a bite instantly
[Erin:] Oh my gosh...
[Brendon:] Is it biting it?
[Erin:] Like, instantly,
[Brendon:] There we go. That's a nice one. [Erin:] Ooh!
[Brendon:] What it--? whoa! oh my god bring it up , bring it up [Erin:] Oh... my....gosh
[Erin] Woah!
[Brendon:] Holy crap [Erin laughing]
[Erin] It's on the side. [Brendon:] Holy crap!
Erin, that is a
WoW and let me tell you guys this is not beginner's luck because she does this time and time again
Good job, Erin.
This is too big for bait. But this is this is a really good size eating fish. [Erin] Yeah
I will not eat this because it comes from this water and I don't I don't trust this water
But that is a nice-sized perch. Give me your hand compare it to your hand size
Wow
Nice, Erin. Good job.
This is this is way too big for bait. So it's time to let this guy go
You got one? Oh, it's on [Erin] Ummm....
It's not?
[Erin] Yeah, it is, it is. Ooh... [Brendon:] It's on, it's on. Nice.
Perfect
That's the perfect size right there
Except let's go for some spot I want to catch some spot
That's a good size though, this will be engulfed pretty easily
[Brendon:] Nice, Erin
[Brendon:] Great bait size.
[Brendon:] Bite sized perch
[Brendon:] Time to put these baits to the test
Going to open water, going to some deeper spots right now
Hopefully, that's where some- some rock fish are stacked
Where's my dad...
Wur ma de
You have a live one on?
[Senko Dad:] No, no...
Dead? I'm putting a live
[Senko Dad] There's no spot, I'd rather have--!!
Oh! I got him!
[Brendon:] Nice!!!
You got him, Dad?
Nice. Dad.
what do you think it is?
Rockfish?
[Dad yelling] [Brendon:] is it?
Nice, Dad. On a little piece of cut bait?
[Senko Dad] Yeah
That's a nice one
Nice catch, Dad. [Senko Dad] Thank you
[Erin] So Brendon cut up one of those perch for me
So that...
I can put out some cut bait
I'm going to start with a small piece
just to try it, because I don't....
I've never tried this before...
[Brendon screams] Ahh!! [Erin:] Brendon?
[grunts]
[screams] Aaaahh!!
[Erin] Brendon?
Bite?
You got a bite?
Oh, she's on, she's on one!
That is a huge perch!!
On a cut piece of perch!
[Senko Dad and Erin exclaiming] Ohh! Aww!
[laughing] [Erin] That was big...
That was a nice one, Erin!
That was dinner, you lost it. [Erin] That was disgusting dinner.
[Brendon:] This is another small one
smm---shhhh--Shoot!
It's gone!
[Erin:] You lost it?
[Brendon:] Yeah...
[Erin] Sad....
All right, I'll go for a bigger one then
So hook it right above the shoulder
Just like that
Make sure it's still lively. Yep. It's very lively
[Erin] Very lively...
And then we're gonna cast it out!
~Gently~ cast it out
[Erin] Loft it.
[Brendon:] Loooft it [Erin] Loft it.
[Brendon:] loft it [Erin] i loft it!
And then let it-- give us some line to swim out and what you got to do is watch your line
Watch where this fish is swimming if it's swimming very erratically there might be something chasing it.
Oh, oh, oh, oh!
I'm gonna let it swallow it. I'll let it swallow it.
So when it's when it's running like that, let it swallow it
[Erin] You on?
Yep, I'm on
That's a rock that's a rock look it's moving back and forth on the surface
[Erin] Oh [Brendon] Ooh!
On the whole fish!
It ate the whole fish!
Oh, no, there it is...
I want my fish back...
There we go.
Look at that
small fish to big fish
Cool
this is still a small schoolie.
I want a bigger one
You know a fish is biting it when your line is starting to move out or move in really quickly
What you got to do is do not set the hook right away
Give it a second to actually engulf the fish so that it's in its mouth. A lot of times
It'll hit it and it'll short strike it and the hook is not fully in its mouth
If you set the hook, you'll lose the fish. So what you got to do is have patience and wait for it to swallow it
Control that adrenaline
and keep in mind, you've gotta- You've got to wait a few seconds before you set the hook
All right guys,
see, it's a pretty simple method
but it definitely requires practice to master
So I want you guys--I want to challenge you guys
go out, catch some bait
Hook the whole bait, live line it, see what you catch. It's really fun
This is one of my favorite methods to catch fish is to catch the live bait hook it up. Throw it out
I just think it's gonna be more successful than a lure a lure will definitely work
But don't you think a big fish will prefer a real fish over a lure?
That's just my opinion let me know your opinion down below
anyways guys
