Great video! Really didn't know about keeping it in the zone which makes sense. Thanks!
Thanks for the great content Benjie. I’m new to fishing and find it really helpful.
Hi Sean, thank you so much for the kind comment. Tight lines out there, fishing in its purest form is such a beautiful and therapeutic sport.
Another great video! Keep it coming... We all super appreciate the amazing content!!!
Thank you so much Chris!! I hope you're well brotha, how's the fishing been for you??
@@BenjieKimFishing - my last trip was great. I got by PB BFT @100#. I am off to Alaska for some salmon fishing next week. Let's get out there together soon...
Anthony. Such an amazing guy
Great series. I've learned some new things and I appreciate the honesty regarding the tackle's pro's and con's. Also.... Get some ointment for that BURN🤣🤣😭
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch. and LOL, he got me pretty dang good there!
I went to Sav-on after watching this and Anthony hooked me up with a Makaira and a Phenix Axis. He was so knowledgeable and super friendly, he even entertained my 3 year old so I could compare reels 😂😂😂
Great video guys, thank you Benjie
Excellent video!!
Thanks for this very informative video! They're in range of 1.5day trip!
This video was really helpful. Thanks.

Q
Super Informative!!!! What a killer vid!
Greatly appreciated, thank you for the positive vibes!
I need to write all this down 🤣. Great video! Keep ‘em coming benjie! ❤️
hahaha thanks Josh!!!
The best of the best video. I bought a lot of wrong stuff already. I wished I can get help getting the right stuff.
This series is fantastic! Keep it up! Love the videos man.
Greatly appreciate the encouragement, thank you!
Nice vids bro! Very informative. :)
Thank you, glad you can check out the channel. I hope you find some helpful info, tight lines!
Great video. Thanks!
Great video
haha, the Perfect duo. Let's get some vids of you guys fishing. Benjie can show Anthony the surf fishing side and Anthony can teach the ways of vessel fishing
Great vid ! ❤
Ugh sorry for missing this Rodney, thank you always for your friendship, advice, and help. Let's fish!!
Thanks for the info... Awesome... 👍
I can’t wait for September!!!
Me too Minh!! It'll be a blast to finally meet and share the rail with you!
Anthony is cool af always up to talk fishing for a long as your heart desires haha 😄
Best advice this is what the captains teach on the PB
Just a suggestion and maybe something to go along with this “tutorial “ type series. As someone that is not familiar with the area but wants to bring their boat down to Long Beach or San Diego I’m kind of lost. There seems to be so many launches in So Cal it can be confusing. Then where do we get live bait and ice for the day. Besides just going down there and ending up wasting most of a morning figuring it out it would be nice to see some tips on best boat launches and then where to get your supplies. San Diego is a 5 hour trip and it would be nice to have a plan before heading down there. Best way to get setup for a day of BFT fishing.
Thanks so much for the thoughtful comment and letting me know what would be helpful for you. This is actually a great suggestion and I can see how it would be helpful for people. I'll certainly keep this in mind, but I'm not planning on making an episode like that this season, but we'll see. So much to cover, so little time!
Thanks
Awesome video but I didn’t hear what size assist hooks to use on those jigs, can you please tell me the size assist hooks I need to buy for the jigs. Thanks
What about a switch out to a Owner 4X treble for the the bottom hook.???
Have you tried the quick rig set up Is 200 pound
What kind of solder on ring would you recommend? Make and model recs? Thanks!
On way down can the bottom hooks get caught up on line
How do you know the depth of your jigs while you're releasing them? Make the line when spooling the reel? Multicolor line?
hey there! thanks for the recent comments, really appreciate it. And yes, you're correct - either marking the line or the multi color spectra.
Is flat fall working?
Do you have a video of what you pack on a multiple day trip by chance??
Unfortunately I do not but that's actually a great idea for a future video! I'll possibly film and release that before Summer.
That would be awesome!
What size hooks do you use?
So superheavy yo-yo without the candy bar action.
10 years ago I made the Zebra Glow for Day Jigging!😂 not for night Jigging. Try a sliver and Glow jig for day Jigging and you will thank me. .
Have fun
Savon
The only thing you missed was make sure the gap in your hook is big enough for the gig to to through it if not, it can hand up on the gig.
I know this is a stupid question so I just set up a penn fathom 40n w/ 80 lbs braid and will be running just a mono or likely fluoro leader.
Question how do you know what depth you’re at? I want to say back in the day Wed mark our line w/ colored markers for every hundred but is there a counting technique? Like count 10 1thousand and your at 100 ft? Anyway I’m going on a overnight and next year gonna try to get out a ton. Been gone for 18 years and recently moved back. Thank you for these videos. 👍🏼
Hey there, my apologies on the slow response to this question. Marking line is still a thing, there are line counting devices you can use or you can manually do it.
But accurately knowing your depth is tricky and I think comes with experience and time on the water. I've been told it takes about 30 seconds but there are also other factors that go into this like how much you're scoping out from the current. For me personally, that's the greatest challenge I'm still working on is getting that jig straight up and down as much as possible.
Check out my 12oz jig video to see how I can pimp them out. 🤘🏻
How do you know you are at 300 feet?
Mark your line with a sharpie
It’s called the Katy Perry because she supports West Ham. Club colours.
I wish they would use ounces and inches instead of MM and grams
None of the jigs you show are actually knife jigs guys come on. Knife jigs are high speed vertical jigs, slow pitch jigs are the ones you are showing. In the intro
Really 12 commercial breaks on my end to watch this clip never ever again thanks for nothing!
DOES " BOB" STILL OWN THE PLACE? I REMEMBER WHEN IT WAS FISHERMANS HARDWARE?
