Man I don’t know 🤷‍♂️ hook was fine. I guess I just didn’t get a good hook set. When those snook are swimming right at you it tends to happen. Super unfortunate though…

Thank you for the kind words 🙏

I mostly use fennwick HMG (M & MH) rods but I also have a black fin 7 ft heavy that I use for the bigger NLBNs

Thank you 🙏 this was on the space coast 🤙

Appreciate it! I normally include the lures I use in the description of the video. I primary used the NLBN lil mullet, ZMAN Kicker Crabz and the badonka donk 🤙

🙏

What area of Florida are you fishing? Thanks great vid

@@jeffspencer4317 I really appreciate the kind words! This was on the space coast 🤙

Thank you 🙏

Yessir! A tried and true bait. Really appreciate the kind words 🙏🙏

@@christophervinson9512 live bait strikes are pretty epic so I don’t blame you! What type of fish do you normally target?

@@truongvu7185 sure is! Good luck. Hope you catch a giant!

@@FishingAdventure-bn5ff thank you! I couldn’t agree with you more

@@Thecatholicchannel haha 😂 I guess at least you get a lot of practice! I’m sure spending time with the kids is special though 👍

@@theblueshirtfishingguy nothing better!

@@RepublicanRambo13 it’s just dealing with lady fish when they get hooked deep. They bleed like CRAZY. Makes a huge mess?

@@aquietsojourner4683 you got that right!

@@aquietsojourner4683 definitely!

Yeah that’s pretty bad!

😂😂😂 that’s about every trick in the book! Yo yoing is basically just bottom bouncing the lure. Used it a lot on bass fishing. Normally when I snook fish it’s fast and on top of the water so this catch was interesting.

It’s the Fenwick HMG 7ft medium with a Piscifun carbon x 2500 reel 👍

You sure got that right! That or I’m mister butter fingers 😂 probably a combination of both haha

Haha 😂 you got that right!!

Fair enough!

Yeah that water is clear. Hard to see because it’s a sand bottom. Nah haven’t been up there

Mine too… it’s a bad habit from my bass fishing days. Appreciate the comment 🙏 tight lines 🤙

I’m a big Fenwick fan. For all my sight fishing I use the 7 ft medium HMG paired with a 2500 sized reel ( I use a piscifun carbon x & Penn spinfisher) with 15 lb braid.

That snook was the ultimate tease. At least he wasn’t a 40 + incher… then I would’ve been crying haha

It looked like a little bull shark. A lot of them around the areas I fish.

That’s the equivalent to a freshwater redfish. Must’ve been a hell of a fight on that light tackle!

Yep

Thank you 🙏 much appreciated!

Sounds like a winning combo right there 👍. I normally steer way from the oats because it binds everything too much. That’s just my personal preference. What flavor jello do you normally use? I’m partial to cherry and strawberry

Definitely depends on a snooks mood. If they want to eat I 100% agree with you. In my experience that’s not that case most of the time. It could just be that I suck at fishing 😂😂

The all black one is a piscifun carbon x 2000. It’s a pretty cheap reel. Not quite as nice as the Penn spinfisher but it gets the job done on a budget 👍

Sure is!

That’s a great question. I don’t really know the answer myself. Personally I don’t like ending up with birds nests. Not sure if that’s what other people are thinking too 🤷‍♂️

@@theblueshirtfishingguy they're pretty easy to learn and once you're effective it becomes second nature. It also gives you more power when trying to wrench em out of cover

That’s fair. I’m a ex bass fisherman so I used to have pretty much just bait casters. Like I said it was just a natural transition that I can’t explain lol

@@theblueshirtfishingguy same here. I fished tourneys for 10 years and spent 8 years exclusively fishing big baits and commercial fishing in socal. Now Im after trout in the PNW. Florida is on my bucket list.

You got that right!!

👍🤙

That’s a good one!

For sure! They have that big mouth that can eat just about anything

Haha I literally became the bait fish 🤣

What species do you think?

What fish do you think?

Fair enough! What do you think is the most aggressive?

That makes me feel a little better 😅

Definitely a tough one to get on the end of your line!

Absolutely! It’s both a blessing and a curse haha. If you’re not catching you’re definitely frustrated!
