Geez man maybe I need to think about a trip to Texas one of these days :)

Hadn’t seen this video from you yet just goes to show why you’re the best show on YouTube

True

MyIdeas - 7 years ago

I love watching your videos. I might get a yak. What happens when you get blood in the boat, does it drain out and become a shark attractant?

Robert Field - 7 years ago

+MyIdeas haha thanks!

MyIdeas - 7 years ago

You are awesome.

Robert Field - 7 years ago

+MyIdeas it does drain out but I don't notice more shark activity. I'm sure it attracts them sometimes. I've been around a lot of sharks in the kayak and never felt threatened or in danger. They just come check ya out and then leave when they realize you aren't food.

AleaderWaterShoes - 7 years ago

Great video, as always. But bring a net next time lol. Thx for sharing

Mohammed almehairbi - 8 years ago

ANSWER ASAP: I'm heading fishing in a week, what fishing rod is that? 3:38

Robert Field - 8 years ago

That's the Ugly Stik Tiger rod, really cheap budget rod but it's rock solid.

Utica - 8 years ago

that would be a fish, wrong timestamp?

Jesmine Ryckman - 8 years ago

is that a penn seaboy 85?

Robert Field - 8 years ago

It's a Penn m309 reel.

Yu Yu - 8 years ago

Hey man! Great vids. If you keep the fish you catch where do you store them?

Robert Field - 8 years ago

I either have a soft cooler on the bow of my kayak or down inside the hull of my kayak. There are hatches on the boat in the front, middle, and back. The one in the front is big enough to fit fish through.

jpt10271 - 8 years ago

Like the fishing but why the annoying music can't hardly hear you anyway

Robert Field - 8 years ago

This video is 3 years old, I've gotten much better at the music and audio since then. Check out some of my newer vids. Thanks for watching brother.

Ahmed AlDhaheri - 8 years ago

Why this video in not available??

Ahmed AlDhaheri - 8 years ago

Love your work. Greeting from very far away from Texas

Robert Field - 8 years ago

I believe because of the music I used, it is blocked in some countries. My newer videos should not be blocked.

Larry - 8 years ago

The music ruins this video.

Larry - 8 years ago

The context in which I say this is that I like hearing the water slapping up against the hull and all the other noises associated with the water. The clicking of the rods, the noises of whatever is loose in the yak and so on.

Robert Field - 8 years ago

Sorry you didn't like it bud, I've gotten better at sourcing music since this video 3 years ago. Hope you'll give another video a shot! My new one chasing monster alligator gar is pretty cool. Either way, thanks for watching.

Jake Harmon - 8 years ago

Hey I absolutely love your videos and I was wondering what you have bait wise

Robert Field - 8 years ago

Thanks man! In this video I was using both a Rapala X-Rap Jointed Shad in chrome/black and fresh dead ribbonfish on a stinger rig (J hook thru the nose, two treble stingers along its back).

madi Claire - 8 years ago

So cool! I've been deep sea fishing 4 or 5 times and all I catch are red snappers, mangrove snappers and remoras. I would love to catch a mahi or a Marlin

Robert Field - 8 years ago

It can be tough to find fish out there... it's a big ocean!

Inlet Reg - 8 years ago

Did you mix the song yourself or is there a vid on that. Thnx and nice vid.

Robert Field - 8 years ago

+Inlet Reg no I got the song off Soundcloud. Thanks!

MyLonewolf25 - 8 years ago

Dam Man I would have kept that tuna if I could

Robert Field - 8 years ago

+MyLonewolf25 it wasn't a tuna, that's a jack crevalle. Not nearly as tasty as tuna.

Syclz - 8 years ago

would u rather the outback or pro angler?

Robert Field - 8 years ago

+BAMAROLLTIDE12 I prefer the Outback but evreybody's different, the PA is a great boat also

GameRage Dad - 8 years ago

It is so painful watching you throw those delicious fish back in the water. Meow :(

GameRage Dad - 7 years ago

CT_BaitsFreak No I mean I enjoy eating fish. I'd gladly take peoples catches and fillet them.

CT_BaitsFreak - 7 years ago

GameRage Dad oh no, what the correct way?

Robert Field - 8 years ago

+Jordan Lopez yeah, I just caught babies on this trip but they get much bigger

Pierce Schwartz - 8 years ago

What reel were you using?

Robert Field - 8 years ago

+Pierce Schwartz that's a Penn m309. Great budget offshore reel, $60. Things are bulletproof.

killz5250 - 8 years ago

Great video! What kind of bait and setup where you using to catch those snapper?

Robert Field - 8 years ago

+killz5250 just a simple bottom rig with a 3-oz weight and some squid.

Was that a penn 309m reel?

drpaulwhite88 - 9 years ago

Just watched all 3 vids......EPIC!! I live 2nd row in NC & surf fish a ton. Got my daughter a SUP last week. Took it out to fish a bait ball.....something big was in it so I ran back to shore like a little girl :) Researching yaks & stumbled onto the vids.....great work man, I'm hooked. If you had 20 more vids I would probably watch them all instead of seeing patients at my office.....HA. We have a couple nice reefs a couple miles out that I would love to hit (when the weather is right of course). I got a lot to research to make sure I'm prepared.

matthew garcia - 10 years ago

Bruce Wayne - 10 years ago

what kind of kayak is that?

Sarah Odell - 10 years ago

Where's part .3

James Hanna - 10 years ago

Where im from the snapper we call them red emperors

patycake720 - 10 years ago

hmm interesting

James Hanna - 10 years ago

yea what we call snapper are a completly different fish. the emperers tend to be a tropical fish only in the top 1/4 of australia on the reefs and stuff. we have i think maybe like 5-7 different species of them

patycake720 - 10 years ago

i remember going fishing a couple times in NSW and people would call them red emperors. I'm not sure if any other countries call them that so yeah sorta just a random guess haha

James Hanna - 10 years ago

how did you guess? lol

patycake720 - 10 years ago

JUST FLIP THE KAYAK AGAING AND KEEP FISHING HOPEFULLY THE COOLER WAS CLOSE AND U DIDNT LOOSE ANY FISH.........THAT HAPPEND TO ME ONCE I LEARN MY LESSON...... ALWAYS KEEP YOUR COOLER CLOSE ....FLIPPING THE KAYAK IS THE EASY PART.

rylan andrew - 11 years ago

2:35 was a Mutton Snapper, not a Red Snapper.

Oscar Ramirez - 11 years ago

What kayak do you use?

Robert Field - 11 years ago

YouTube sucks, to be honest. Nothing but issues. When they released the 144p option it ruined one of my videos that I had to delete and repost, losing thousands of views.

Mr fisherman - 11 years ago

ridiculous right?

MadSmokerBBQ - 11 years ago

Its ok to drop the level of the music way down to match the GoPro audio. They call it a music bed b/c its in the background like wallpaper, not the featured element. Or my preference: no tunes at all. The sound of the location is where its at.

Robert Field - 11 years ago

A flathead? I caught a 6 foot shark from it... I think that trumps any catfish brotha. Part 3 from this series is up on my page and you can see the shark.

Robert Field - 11 years ago

You can watch it on your PC. YouTube restricted it 6 weeks after I posted it. Very frustrating. It's only restricted on mobile, though.

Shannon Stephens - 11 years ago

Flathead Catfish Hunters - 11 years ago

Try and catch a flathead catfish in that thing. Iv done it

SuperJox - 11 years ago

My stepdad considers them one of the best eats in Florida. I caught one a few offshore trips ago and the one thing I noticed is that the skin smells when you cut if off. >__<

Robert Field - 11 years ago

It's a remix of Wake Me Up by Avicii that I found on SoundCloud

Robert Field - 11 years ago

Are they? I could've caught them all day but didn't bother... good to know.

Robert Field - 11 years ago

I'm in Texas, so this is all in the gulf.

Robert Field - 11 years ago

Thanks man. Yeah I'm aware of the sound issues. The problem is the GoPro's audio is horrible when it's in the waterproof case. I can't boost the volume of me talking any more. Am working on some solutions going forward.

Conner Sasich - 11 years ago

gulf or atlantic?

1divemaster1 - 11 years ago

Dude that was a sweet video. Look forward to 2 and 3.

SuperJox - 11 years ago

Triggerfish is good eatin'

Robert Field - 11 years ago

Also, just FYI, I plan on releasing two "how-to" videos in the coming months: How To: Film Your Kayak Fishing Adventures and How To: Offshore Kayak Fishing 101. The latter will show how I rig my lines, how I catch bait, how I launch and reenter the surf, etc. Stay tuned brotha.

Robert Field - 11 years ago

Yeah man the audio issues arise because the GoPro's audio when inside the waterproof case SUCKS. I'm trying to work on it. I appreciate the feedback, always. As for trolling I basically try different things until one works. I'll usually put a 1/2 oz inline worm weight and a pink or chartreuse skirt on one ribbonfish, and run another naked. I'll put the weighted one 50 yards back and the non-weighted half that. When one works, double up on that rig. Or sometimes I run a lure on one side.

Robert Field - 11 years ago

Sometimes. Depends on what they want that day. A lot of times I'll run one weighted with a skirt, and one "naked". If one starts working, switch to two of those. I use an inline worm weight, usually 1/2 oz.

Kirk Senseman - 11 years ago

Wooo Port Aransas

Finnegans Journey - 11 years ago

Do you use a weight?

KeViN Ly - 11 years ago

What's the song?

jon moore - 11 years ago

Lovely video, the sound quality could be worked on but i'm subbed!! When you say about the trolling depth, can you give us a rough distance, length of line and what depth for your deeper and shallow?

Robert Field - 11 years ago

No, and you're right. Just excited my first time at the rig, and when I watched the footage I realized I had done that. That can definitely injure them. Normally I'm really good about it, but just got caught up in the moment.

Robert Field - 11 years ago

A Penn 309

Robert Field - 11 years ago

Well I'm always trolling a ribbonfish on one rig and an artificial on the other. My favorite lure to troll for kings, and what I caught that jack on, is the Rapala X-Rap Jointed Shad in chrome/black. I vary the distance behind me based on what they want. Farther = deeper. I also do one further than the other to prevent tangles.

Robert Field - 11 years ago

Part 2 is up bud! Go check it out.

Tim Kimes - 11 years ago

Which Monday is that?lol Eagerly awaiting pt. 2 & 3 please...your vids are awesome ! Nice song choice on this one as well. Thanks for sharing!

Shane Schexnayder - 11 years ago

How far behind are you trolling those lures? and what kind of lures are they?

Justin Villarreal - 11 years ago

What Kind of reel did you catch the jack on?

Frank Rodriguez - 11 years ago

Always nice to watch kayak fishing videos specially at the rigs. Great video, hopefully I'll convince my boddies to do it one day.

John Bohme - 11 years ago

do you always bend the fishes jaw down with the gripper? it looks like you can break it. not haten just askin.

Robert Field - 11 years ago

Thanks for the kind words! I have a video planned to walk through my rig as well as some tips and tricks for how I get footage out on the water. Also, I have tons of friends who paddle out to the rigs. Just don't go alone and get multiple opinions on the forecast. There are some that are only 2 miles off shore, not a bad paddle at all. I think I'll be back for Labor Day if you want to join me bud! Hit me up on FB or Twitter.

Untamed Outdoors - 11 years ago

Awesome vid. I went to school at A&M in corpus and bought my yak to fish the bay. I was a little too nervous about changing conditions to try to get out to the rigs without a motor or the paddle drive. The wind can be pretty tough sometimes. I would love to see a video of how you set up your yak to film and fish. keep up the good work!

Robert Field - 11 years ago

There are many things to consider before you choose a yak brother. Hit me up on Facebook or Twitter and I'd be happy to help.

Robert Field - 11 years ago

Part 2 should air before Monday! Sorry for the delay! Stay tuned...

Robert Field - 11 years ago

Good ear, Vincent! It is a mashup of "Wake Me Up" by Avicii that I found on Sound Cloud.

Robert Field - 11 years ago

I kept every snapper that was legal - 3 in all. The ones I tossed back were just under 15 inches (legal limit). No way to fit a livewell that will keep snapper alive on a kayak, but I put them on ice.

What program u use for ur intro?

Robert Field - 11 years ago

Hey Azmi. Nope I was using two Penn 309s on this trip. I mainly use those for targetting big fish and sharks from the kayak, and I have a Cabelas Salt Striker spinning reel that I use for casting to smaller fish, such as spanish mackerel boiling on the surface.

Azmi Abdullah - 11 years ago

Hey bro ! Nice vid. Anyway, may i know what reel you're using there ? Is it the Penn Seaboy 190 ?

Sashin Bejai - 11 years ago

Really good video bud.

Robert Field - 11 years ago

Basically you just learn from others where to launch from, but you can see them from shore. These are the Mayan Princess rigs, straight out from Mile Marker 80 in Port Aransas. The first one is a little over 3 miles out, the furthest one I hit was about 4 miles out. There's a big cluster of them out there. Feel free to hit me up on Facebook and Twitter with more questions bro! Happy to help!

Robert Field - 11 years ago

I pedal a Hobie Outback now. All the videos before this one I was in a Perception Sport Pescador 12'. That is a GREAT starter boat if you want to stay around the $500 range. A new Outback will run you closer to $1,850 but believe me - it is SO worth it.

Robert Field - 11 years ago

Haha I'm working on that! Thanks doll :)

Dave Taylor - 11 years ago

Blake, good to ask questions if you're just beginning. Also check out Yakangler forums. Where ya live? Fishing saltwater or fresh?

I'm in a Hobie Outback. They are awesome boats, but expensive. Hit me up on Facebook or Twitter and I can give you some more info.

Robert Field - 11 years ago

Yeah man, I agree. I guess since it was my first offshore trip, I was just excited and not being very mindful. When I was reviewing the footage I noticed that.
