Seeing the mantee was bonus
🙌 🙌
Canal fishing like this is very exciting. All that man made structure for snook to hide around and what not. The large mouth at the end was a shock.
Definitely a ton of life through there!
Way to go, Nate. Loved the video. Always love it when you post. Thanks for taking us along.
Thanks brother!!
Another great quality video! I like your energy!
Thanks brother!!
Man, that looks like an amazing trip. Congratulations bro.

Huge snook! So awesome ❤️
🙌 🙌
Awesome
🙌 🙌
Good stuff nate. Always got that fire content LETS GO.
🙌 🙌
man I miss Florida sometimes...gorgeous fish but at 2:55 when the manatees are passing you is where I truly missed where I grew up.
Man they are definitely amazing to see
NICE JOB, NATE! Makes me miss my years in Tampa. Patience brought the big one. Congrats.
Thanks brother I miss being there already lol
Really happy for you, Nate! Really nice snook! Way to stick with it after losing that big fish. Laughed at the gafftop. My first fishing trip to Florida, first morning I made a cast right where I saw 50 pound tarpon rolling…and caught a gafftop. Slimed me something terrible and completely ruined my white Bugg 😂
😂 yeah those gaftops fool me every time lol
Beautiful snook. Congrats! I hope to make it down there next year.
Thank you, it’s an awesome place over there!
The manatee at 2:58 what a great day
No doubt!!
Beautiful snook
🙌 🙌
Nice Snook Nate!!
🙌 thanks brother!!
I fish there every weekend. Love it great fishery.
One of the best in the world in my opinion!!
My God what a snook! I've never been in an area to catch snook. I've been wanting to go there and try for them. I'm only around three hours from there, I've got to go.
It’s an amazing place definitely make a trip out there
Shoot, them gaftop are some of the hardest fighting, best tasting, fish out there. Go ahead and throw em back in for me to catch later.
That’s what I’ve heard lol
Nice Snook! My PB is the same size. It is so much fun to catch them that size on light tackle! The one you lost looked big!
Heck yeah brother, yeah I’m afraid the one I lost was a straight up pig lol.
what a snook, man that was awesome, gotta make a florida trip now
🙌 🙌
Nice Snook Nate.
Thanks brother!!
Crystal river is my home water these days and man the fishin is world class. Glad yall slammed em
No doubt, love that place!!
Man, I'm from Ohio. Been out with a friend to the Crystal River area a few times. Caught tons of species. Great trout, some snook, never a red, though. Some of the most memorable trips of my life.
It’s a very cool area.
No doubt!!
Nice snook!
🙌 🙌
I love catching snook and reds. They fight completely different buy both amazing in own way
No doubt!!
dude that was epic!
Man it was crazy how it all panned out. Awesome place over there!!
It's fish like that that keeps me in Florida, lol. Congrats bro
It’s fish like that that’ll make me move to Florida 😂
I took a trip to the same area back in the summer and caught snook and reds and saw a tarpon at Pete’s peir in my kayak
Awesome!!
My grandma lives down there i went swimming with the manatees just alittle in from petes right there. Just out from that little spring you hooked that big one.
Awesome!!
2:57 Manitee!!! 😮😊
🙌
Wonderful fishing Nate, stuck here in the UK I swear I'm turnin' green with envy. Could I ask one favor from you please? Can you give your location at the start of each video, so that I can follow your adventures more easily.Now aged 76 and following ten heart attacks my fishing days have to be done vicariously through you. Maybe I h ave one last trip in me to join you in person . That's my dream anyhow. Tight lines buddy.
Brother, those sailcats are some great eating. My pb is well over 8 lbs on a 3/8 oz jig with a 4" Yum white walleye grub. Tasty.
Never tried one before I guess I’ll have to add it to a catch and cook
Love doing good deeds!
🙌 🙌
Dang that was a great trip and the manatee just cruises by like no big deal. Ive seen them in dog river a few times and its always cool
Heck yeah! I think I’ve seen them once in the Canal and that’s it.
Snook are my favorite fish to target got a 36in 20lb mounted on the wall.
Very nice!!
5:41 😂 first the sailcat then THUD. Drinks were a good idea.
😂 😂
I saw that manatee too 😅
🙌
Nate come on down to Stuart FL I’ll take you out we have the biggest snook in Fl.
🙌 I’ll put it on the list!!
The manatee at 2:56 is pretty cool
🙌
I’m glad for you man!! What a great catch. I hear snook are tuff on leaders, did you have to re tie yours after the big snook???
I didn’t re tie but probably should have
I live right there in kings bay I should’ve went out yesterday
🙌
The sail cats are great to eat
Right on!
Nate, I purchased 3 different types of your lures this week… Looking forward to trying them out around the Myrtle Beach area…
Awesome let me know how you like them!!
Will do.
Enjoy your videos, continue putting out great content.
Usually big sheep’s under that bridge heading to 3 sisters forms king bay
Nice!!
Did you notice the manatees at 3:00?
🙌
Big Big fan Nate. Sold me on doing a trip to Crystal River. Might take my Hobie Yak (on Trailer) or my 16' Stumpknocker boat down, Any advice on boat and budget friendly rooms close to the action?
Awesome!! We stayed in a VRBO house on kings bay if you look back at our first video in Crystal River (3 videos back) i do a walk through of the house and put the info in the description to book it.
What battery do you guys recommend for your yak? I am in the process of building one out this winter for Spring Sound fishing in Navarre.
EPOCH 105ah smart battery!
Aight. Im ordering hoodwinks!😂
🙌 🙌
Nice job!! Hey what type of kayak cart do you use or recommend?
I use the Hammerhead Kayaks cart.
Curious what rod power and action you use with the hoodwinks?
I use a 7’2” medium power, fast action
hey Big Nate, what fishfinder is that?
Lowrance elite FS 9
You missed the Giant Manatee @ 3:05
I saw it. That’s why I put the clip in there lol
How long does your battery last with the trolling motor?
Depends on how hard I run. That’s the first time I ever killed it.
What happened to the hammerhead yak?
What do you mean?
Hey Im sure you have covered this but what baitcasters do you use in saltwater?
Shimano Curado
Thanks
Jacks n grouper are more aggresive to reel in but thats just from my Experience
Right on!!
I catch 20 lb cobia on 15 line so keep up the Fight
Nice!
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
🙌
U guess a big snook is ok if there ain't a big Flounder around to target 😊.
lol that’s right!!
The big one always gets away...
That’s what keeps us coming back!
Reno is bad luck when there is a big snook around.
😂 yes he is!!
Did anyone see that big fish that came by his kayak at the 2:55 and another at the 3:03 minute?
Those were manatees. The springs there are loaded with them.
4:37 clear a rumor: Do sail catfish taste good? I put mine back as I was told they tasted bad. Whay do you think?
Never tried em lol but I’ve heard they’re good
@@southernsalt thanks.
that sail cat will eat just as fine any saltwater fish plus the skull will have a crucifix on the inside
Those were some big ass manatees just floating around
lol yeah they were 😂
But they taste good.
🙌
Did you notice the manatee
I was just going to comment that at 2:56ish a big ole sea cow passed by and he never said a word. 😊
I saw 2 of them.
Yep 2 of them
Ofcourse that’s why I put the clip in there lol
