Had to come back and re watch. Glad i did, keep up the good work man! I've been in the same situation too many of times. It makes it so rewarding having to work so hard to get them in expecially on a 3k
Those snook are smart as hell. They know there is a hook in the bait but sometimes they can't help it and try to get the bait off it without getting hooked and sometimes lose! It's not very often but they do slip up every once in a while😎. Congrats bro👍👍
FANTASTIC JOB on the battle!! My video would've had ALLL BLEEPS if I was you there!! I fish the beach in Jupiter so I don't go through COMPLETE HELL!!! Aug. 7th COVID at 7AM on my 2nd cast with a swim bait landed my 1st 40! CHANGED MY WORLD!!!!
I see that stake out hole in your trolling mount. That will keep the big fish from dragging your gheenoe around. Excellent patience landing and releasing it sir! Fished that area once and can't wait to get back in a few weeks.
I would stake out the boat if I wasnt near structure! If I stake the boat out and the fish runs under a dock I wont be able to race over there and untagle it before it breaks me off.
Ha ha...Someone commented on one of my snook vids that you don't take a knife to a gun fight. I hope you purchase lottery tickets because you are so lucky! More videos please!
You are tenacious! Great job. My biggest snook is 10lb (on a fly) but your leviathan was like a nuclear sub compared to my canoe! WTG! That first run was insane.
Bee pouring through your videos...I thought to myself this young man can fish!...after this catch I’m thinking dude, you are off the charts!..fantastic hook up, fight and land...I’m not sure if you will see this, but I’m working on a 11” mullet for you to try!
"F" me bro........I've casted at over 100 forty inch snook...... hooked 3....NEVER landed one.......my PB 38 1/2 ...........damn it.........love ur channel........CANT WAIT FOR MY 40............stay safe........ PEACE
What a fish never got one that big , question for you I use to fish the surf a lot using 15lb mono now I am starting to wad the Indian river dur to the winter months the surf sucks due to dirty water and high east winds starting around December or so , now I'm using 12 lb mono with a 30 lb leader have you ever fished this light line before ? I don't eat fish but just love the battle, thanks
Hey man. Great video. Watched a few of your videos ill definitely sub. Quick question. I do alot of fishing in North fl. St Augustine area and never caught a snook yet. Are you on the east coast too.
One mistake I seen is when i hooked him u decided to run up towards the dock big no no, u hook up on a big fish like that u get as far as u can away from structure
She already had me beat to the dock. I wasnt going to turn her head once she went on a run. So in my opinion my best chance of landing that fish was follow her into the dock and it worked out for me
Justin Menendez Inshore Fishing I fish in Naples FL and I catch these size snook in Naples all the time.. if you were around here I would ask to go fishing sometime..you should come down here and fish some spots I know
Justin Menendez Inshore Fishing that’s cool. Ft Myers has some dirty water but there are some spots there too...yeah I know exactly what you mean..school takes over fishing
wow that was instense! monster snook ! great catch.
Thank you!
Top 5 Best Manuevers for a fish I've ever seen going under the dock. Solid fish.

No, the water was just very calm and I stand very still.
Well done.
