This was an epic trip! Definitely hasn’t been beat yet! Thank you for having me!

The real draw of this video is how much fun and excitement you had while catching fish 👍. Good to see you having an enjoyable time.

9:11 Knot in the leader!!! I didn’t know this. I lost a fish like that the day before you posted this video. I saw and felt the knot a few times, but didn’t realize I’d break off once I had a bite. Glad to (now) know that that happens.

Great video Benjie, loved the baby crying can I get that Pearl Squid LC?

[chriscook]

Got to admit, this was a fun one to watch !!

Fantastic job Boyz! My guess is those perch were swiping, getting stuck, then having it ripped out. Unless they were big enough and hook a treble.
Great video BKF!

Awesome trip! Just got back home from an OC surf perch run and I can concur the bite is on fire!

Love your surfperch fishing vids, but here in San Clemente, and I don't know of any beaches nearby that are similar to yours. You waves seem smaller & more manageable. Where are you fishing?

[dmeetsbobo]

Lol! Love hearing your laugh when you're on that bite dude! 😎👍🏽

I’ve recently gotten back into surf fishing and have been doing quite well… surf perch, croaker, halibut, and just caught my PB striper a couple of days ago… my question is, what’s your favorite time of year to fish for these species? Thanks🎣

[manamike]

What an awesome session guys.! Sucks about the lightning coming in..

[gabrieldelatrinidad]

Amazing. I've never seen so many fish 🐟 congrats nice video.

[HouseHunterLA]

The crying baby was a good touch. Had me laughing every time. Have you ever tried to make the rear treble a smaller one to see if the hook set is better?

[markskibo]

I would have definitely put a few in my pocket for dinner, one of my favorites!!!

[mikechi]

Great video! Can you suggest a beach in OC for surf perch? Visiting the area from Seattle.

I even tried “wacky” rigging those worms and they smoke ‘‘em and I’ve noticed when they bite the worm stays outside the mouth and I can use the same worm over and over again

Which LC has the extra 30% glow? Where can we get them? Thanks.

Great vid. I'm going to put this out to the community and hope for the best. I recently started surf fishing and use a Phenix 904 and a Fuego 2500. 15lb. braid with 15lb. floro leader. I keep snapping off my LC lures losing three on my last two trips. I'm launching these things into low orbit and about 1/2 to 3/4 of they way the whole system locks up and I lose the lure at the last knot. There are no knots in the line or anything else I can identify as to why this happens. It doesn't happen when I do C-rig or T-rig. I'm wondering if the braid is digging in at the spool and locking up. Wondering if I should up-size the reel or braid or switch to straight mono/floro. Besides the cost, I've been fishing Newport and it sucks knowing my lure is out there somewhere floating among the surfers. Any insight is appreciated...

This was awesome! Ive never surf fished before but this is definitely making me want to! Do these fish tend to bite good in the winter? Would love to have an alternative to winter trout fishing

Nice session! I still trip out how far you stand in the surf down there. Up here in SF/Peninsula you'd be sucked out haha
