200 Pound Yellowfin chokes on a Live Bait - State of Sportfishing EP130
In this episode, we dive into an exhilarating fishing trip I took with Bob in Venice, Louisiana, a unique fishing destination known for its vibrant fishing culture and stunning scenery. We kick things off with some light-hearted banter about the energy that comes with hooking a fish, which is always a game-changer for our podcast vibe.
Bob shares his insights on the fishing conditions during my visit, noting that while the fishing was challenging, we managed to have an incredible experience. We discuss the logistics of getting to Venice, including the three-hour drive from New Orleans and the quirky charm of the local marina, where boats dock in front of houseboats instead of traditional slips.
As we recount our fishing adventures, Bob highlights the unique setup of his charter fleet, including the impressive Freeman boats we used. We delve into the specifics of our fishing techniques, including the use of live bait and the thrill of catching a massive tuna. The story of how we caught the fish-without it being technically hooked-adds an interesting twist to our fishing narrative.
Throughout the episode, we touch on various topics, including the differences between catamarans and monohulls, the importance of safety equipment like drop-in pumps, and the camaraderie that comes with fishing. We also explore the local culture, including the hospitality of the community and the fascinating details about the fishing rigs in the area.
As we wrap up, we reflect on the joy of fishing, the stories we gather along the way, and the friendships we build. This episode is a celebration of the fishing lifestyle, filled with laughter, insights, and a deep appreciation for the sport. Join us as we share our adventures and the lessons learned from our time on the water!

    personally, im not a sporty guy. express boats all the way. i would want a Carolina classic with twin inboard diesels, not nearly as expensive as a big sporty, trailerable for winterization, and still rides like a boat twice its size.

  • @cp_customs
    @cp_customs Před 3 měsíci

    This mostly applies to single or twin outboard boats and not the million dollar center consoles but I think the biggest difference between a sportfish raising fish and a center console is money oddly enough. The smaller center console is typically a boat that you can grab a 12 pack of ballyhoo and drive around all day trolling for $150 in fuel and bait. A sporty fishing all day and running may be $2000 in fuel and bait. That means you have to be more dialed in to make it worth it and really study where the fish are going to be vs driving around till you find something. Also most people that fish three weekends a year are going to buy a center console not a sportfish. I think the more it costs to run the boat inevitably the more dialed in you have to be and the better crews you get fishing the boats
