Dude I was sitt’n here going it’s a keeper , and then not one but two 21” inchers, ! 🤔 Well at least flipper wasn’t mess’n with ya , and you didn’t get rained out ! So it was a good day ,
The thrills....heartpounding moments while Figthing those groupers, man, i wish am the one on your shoes. Those were my dream catch sizes. Best for a sweet and sour menu😃 as well. Hope to see more of this aside from pompano Tightlines! God bless.
Hey bro,great vids as always,I was down last week visiting my pops,I was literally just there they day before,caught a lot of mangrove snapper,then I fished the jetty before the entrance and caught a few sheepshead,I’m likely moving back to the area in another month or so,it would be great to run into you sometime! I’ve caught a lot of different fish along the coast fromMS to FL but I’ve yet to catch a grouper,thanks for the tips !
Yes, I'd like to see some more grouper fishing WITH you & friends sharing recipes as you clean and cook the grouper caught. QUESTION: I need to find a saltwater rod to best fit my "Penn Battle II 3000 Spinning Reel" for using artificial goofy-jig lures to fish for Pompano. Because my small vehicle won't accommodate the one-piece 7.0 foot Spinning Rod without it staying in a curved position on a long trip, what two-piece Spinning Rod choices would you recommend for balance? I would imagine that my just slightly cracking the back passenger side window to accommodate the one-piece Spinning Rod would work, except I'm concerned that the air movement & vibration might really scratch up the rod surface against the window frame. What do you recommend? Thanks!
Check out st.croix triumph medium 6-12lb class! They do come in a two piece! Also Shimano slx 7ft medium 6-12lb they come in 2 piece as well. They’re also lightweight, good for throwing artificial lures and jigging
It's funny how the wind is wished for in certain areas. Here is wind from the east, fishing is the least. Wind form the south & west, fishing is the best.
Hey man don't feel bad about getting excited about the bait.Because no bait, no fishing and that right I.Enjoy your shows.I address wish I could fish as good as you and then you , you have competition
Any gags that are 28 inches plus are gonna hit way harder and fight way harder than any of those gags that you’ve fought… 30 plus inchers fight different than those of the 20s.. it’s hard to get a 30 plus incher even with my type of exp lol
I find size 6 Mustad Gold Hooks work best. Anything smaller than that just makes it hard to dehook sometimes. But with size 6 it's easier and it's not too big for them.
You can do both there. There are piles of cement bridge debris from when the old bridge was turned into the pier. And I think there are reef balls made of cement too. And of course the pilings have fish too.
@@Thonny did ok tarpon was biting good at 4 am was there all night also landed 3 fat snappers witch was a plus broke off few times on something decent but for me at night they be on fire !!! I’ll probably go in the next few days

Hi, Thonny, great to meet you! See you next time in Tarpon Springs!
My favorite videos are the grouper ones...but you knew that...Thx!
The thrills....heartpounding moments while Figthing those groupers, man, i wish am the one on your shoes. Those were my dream catch sizes. Best for a sweet and sour menu😃 as well. Hope to see more of this aside from pompano
Tightlines! God bless.
For sure!! There will be more grouper vids soon!!
I love your channel. Simple and real. Keep it up. I just subbed.

6:06 “these groupers are so aggressive” meanwhile guy in the back almost jumps off to get his rod
Good eye!

Thonny why you dont pinch the tail when you measure the fish? It would be longer and I heard is legal to do it with nonfork tail fishes
That always slips my mind!! Thanks for the reminder man! 👊
Good advice !! On the water, it’s better too feel up before than on the bridge.
Great video, Thonny. Keep them coming !
Great video man! Everything came together
Friend great videos, 2 ques. please. 1.What knot are you using braid to leader. 2.What length rod? Thanks Tom
FG Knot, and the rod is 7'8! 50-100lb class
Skyway slayer🔥🔥🔥
Hi Thonny, can you please send me the link of the snook sticker you have in your back window of your truck? Thank you very much!
Do you remember where you bought sticker? Thx.
Awesome video! Thanks!
Why don't you use a cast net?
Thanks for the advice I'm going sky b
rich next month what is the size for kipper on grouper
They’re out of season right now. The season opens from September 1st through November 10th. They have to be 24”
Going to bring a Slim Jim in my tackle box for bait
I literally fishing that exact spot on Saturday .. 3 times dolphins broke me off!
The dolphins were stealing my bait too!!
I've had the dolphins steal 7 baits in a row!
10:00 human: "see u"
grouper: "no way, dont wanna see u"
It's funny how the wind is wished for in certain areas. Here is wind from the east, fishing is the least. Wind form the south & west, fishing is the best.
You ever get Goliaths there?
I’d like to try this year! I know where they are. Just don’t have the gear big enough to target them
@@Thonny yeah I want get buy one of those 9/0 or 12/0 senators and try it
I literally just went to the skyway and didn’t catch crap so let’s see how many 35 inch gags you catch this time lol
Same got a few snapper and a tarpon tried to hyt my pooper over night
Not this time! 🤣
Are you hitting up skyway again for gags ? Thus month
Yes sir ! Soon ! 🙌
Hey Thonny what kind of camera do you use when shooting your fishing
videos to post on TH-cam and what other Equiptment is needed.
Canon EOS R5! check the description for the camera gear I use.
Hey man don't feel bad about getting excited about the bait.Because no bait, no fishing and that right I.Enjoy your shows.I address wish I could fish as good as you and then you , you have competition
Job well done 💪💪
When I use to go for gag off of shipwrecks and natural structures, I would usually end up getting shorts as well. It is all part of fishing I guess.
It’ll get better once the temperature drops!!
Any gags that are 28 inches plus are gonna hit way harder and fight way harder than any of those gags that you’ve fought… 30 plus inchers fight different than those of the 20s.. it’s hard to get a 30 plus incher even with my type of exp lol
What size hooks do you find are the best for catching the pins?
I find size 6 Mustad Gold Hooks work best. Anything smaller than that just makes it hard to dehook sometimes. But with size 6 it's easier and it's not too big for them.
You don’t add any split shot or any kind of weight to your line?
no just let the pinfish swim with the current while giving it slack and feel the pinfish swim until it gets eaten.
Good job buddy
Thanks 👍
Good Vid Thonny. Do you prefer outgoing for them?
Incoming is good too!
Nice catch..What day was that ? Sat or Sun or Monday ?
Thursday!
Hey thorny ,what kind of rod is that your using
Grouper master🔥🔥🤙🏼
Great video
Thank you !
Any preference for North vs South Skyway bridge for grouper fishing? Is it only me, or North side is better. Thanks, great videos as usual!
Both!
Are you casting out at a rock piles. Or around the pilings?? I never tried this sky way fishing. Looks fun
You can do both there. There are piles of cement bridge debris from when the old bridge was turned into the pier. And I think there are reef balls made of cement too. And of course the pilings have fish too.
@@comfortablynumb9342 thank you. I might give It a try.
Soon grouper be pushing under residential docks
Is this north pier or south pier?
South !
@@Thonny thank you very much, today I went north, only fished some pinfish
I.
T's me again great work brother
What kind, and how long is that Rod ??
Shimano Terez 7”8 Heavy 50-100lb
Nice vid my guy
21 inches seems to be your lucky number
Can't believe Tatum's is going up for sale
Wow. When is this happening?
What's Tatum's?
I just want to encourage people to get out there and fish

@@Thonny did ok tarpon was biting good at 4 am was there all night also landed 3 fat snappers witch was a plus broke off few times on something decent but for me at night they be on fire !!! I’ll probably go in the next few days
