    Great job landing that stud red Justin, I'm sure there was about 5 different times you thought you were going to break it off! Always incredible when you get a 30"+ red on a tiny fiddler crab. Great video as usual!

      It is crazy how huge fish will eat something small. I have been fishing my backyard creek with 4 inch finger mullet ever since the hurricane and have not had a sniff. On Monday The tide was high and I couldn't get mullet, so I pulled my minnow trap and use 1.5" mud minnows. The hook looked like I gaffed these mud minnows they were so small. I got three reds in 15 minutes on the small mud minnows. I believe two things were at work. 1. Reds have the mouths downward, and muds stay on the bottom. 2. Reds do not have huge mouths, and they would rather slurp up a small bait then work on getting a larger, faster bait.

    Geezzz...I think I fished that spot the same day you did. How do I know that 19:28, the blue boat on the lift is a Midnight Express named Life is Good and that little shower storm took forever to blow through. I didn't do very well, couple trout and a crap ton of ladyfish.

    Justin sweet fight getting that red through the dock. That always makes it feel so worth it when u get through a fight like that don't get broke off and get a nice fighting red. Then to get slammed by that nice snook sweet I seen the first one then the others sitting their and was shocked they didn't spook but slammed it just like the first snook went to. Nice job that's why we enjoy our fishing I was literally feeling the pain having to go through that dock because once you have done it before u never forget. Great day.

      I know this question was for Justin but I’ve been doing it for the past two years and the best advice I can give anyone from what I’ve learned is that the views will come with time so just focus on making small improvements with each upload. For example your filming, audio, commentary, thumbnails….etc. the other thing I would suggest is to always take time out of your day to read and respond to your comments cause at the end of the day that’s your community and if they watch all your videos they will be able to give you the best feedback out of anyone. Good luck with your channel brother 🤙🏼 Tight lines!
