    Florida, absurd amount of big, powerful, lovely fish; a real fisherman’s paradise.

    It's the life-cycle of Keys Bridge fishing. Catch lunch, serve lunch, be lunch.

    Talk about having a whole spot to yourselves! I would not want to go for a swim there...I might not even want to be in a kayak! Nice job as always.

  • @mitchellbarrios4972
    @mitchellbarrios4972 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    That white grunt makes the best cut bait for snapper BTW. For those busier groupers your going need a beefer rod reel and tackle. You have to horse crank them bad boys otherwise its a straight trip to rock city!

  • @michaelsanders9506
    @michaelsanders9506 ปีที่แล้ว

    If those were goliaths and not stingrays. You would have had a chance if you got straight vertically up and down over the fish. It's not too deep there either I used to live there and fish where you're fishing. You can also tie yourself off to the boat with a rope it's a grouper has gone into a hole. Ways to jump in with a short gas and pull them out of the hole.. is there a big Goliath we just tie a bully off to him. And let them wear themselves out. That's when we could take Goliath. But that bridge you're fishing there's a whole bunch of Red roof over there. Between 3 to 12 lb. And some nice Martin snapper and big mangroves. Target them with big baits. A lot of times you can cut your motor while fighting a fish and make the fish pull the boat around it will wear it out quicker in certain scenarios. Tight lines

    Hey what's up Elias lm a dedicated subscriber. When you lived in NY. I need your advice, you catch some giants and I noticed you used light weight fishing poles, can you tell me a good pole to buy? I would really appreciate it. Thanks and keep up the awesome videos.

    Cut the fins off your pin fish before using them for bait.

  • @RandomJ2023

    Your money fish indeed were those yellow jacks, have you tried them yet? Poke quality fish man. Just bleed them.

  • @WoodenBoatGuy
    @WoodenBoatGuy ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Those big ones were probably BIG nurse sharks. Classic slow steady and unmovable pressure. They just kind of sit on the bottom and drag you around. I've hooked into many of them around here.
    And yes, sharks of all kinds are unavoidable fishing The Keys, they are EVERYWHERE and at all depths.

  • @robgrubb420

  • @andrewsweeney8804

    Try green backs or Marjas they work better than pin fish or use smaller ou fish like 3-5”

  • @ridingdaskunk5395
    @ridingdaskunk5395 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Nice grover, if you are fishing for grouper, you need to lock down your drag or/and fish with heavier equipment.

    Great adventure fishing Elias. I love fishing 7 Mile Bridge, but it can be punishing on your gear and body. Lots of sharks means a healthy environment for all fish, we need our top predators in the ocean as much as on land. I paid the tax man at the 7 Mile Bridge from a 20 ft boat and we were happy the spinner shark's jumps didn't put the fish in our laps. The best stories of that trip were close encounters of the toothy kind and no deaths on either side.

    Noice video! Ever try hooking live bait behind dorsal fin? It's more natural....the bait can swim, fish take the bait head first, better hook set without the fish swallowing.... ??? Try it , and let us know if it's better for you as well!

    I was born in the late 70's...
    * Jewfish- converted for some stupid reason
    Dolphin fish:
    1: Bull Dolphin

    Fishing from kayaks must be killing one’s back, wrists and lower back. Sitting so low is a terribly awkward and uncomfortable position to reel back a strong fish.

    I had a mutton snapper latch onto my thumb once, had about a 60 second staring contest with him until he went to reposition his bite and I extracted myself. Better than a blue doing it.

    Using pin fish that size you need a size 6 to a 8 for grouper fishing. Some guys swear by 100lb but it all breaks the same if your not quick enough to keep them out of the rocks. As soon as you feel it you have to start pulling a reeling
