    @bobwatchit9636 Před 2 lety

    When using the big plastic swimbaits, take regular offset worm hook and use small bass weight. It works better than weighted weedless hooks. I have several 10+ Florida bass on it. Flukemaster video from long ago showed me.

    That's a 45" fish. And that's being conservative. Nice day man!
    I use those NLBN Mullets over here inshore in the Bradenton area on a full moon. Last hr of a ripping outgoing tide at 2-4 am in shallow flats on the mangroves 1-2ft of water. Same hook with no weight. It's just insane. They hammer that thing on just about every cast. They're all usually breeder size.
    Never thought about using it with a weight, I'm gonna try it next time! Thanks!

  • @epicbagelswag
    @epicbagelswag Před 3 lety

    It’s always the days you catch a giant and never have a tape. Caught my biggest snook last summer, estimated around 44” and 30lbs all day. Didn’t have a tape but she threw downy and I got my picture. Banger of a video 🔥

  • @johngrimes7510
    @johngrimes7510 Před 3 lety

    I find myself looking forward to your videos, and you always leave me wanting for another one. But I have a suggestion you should look into and investing in a micro power pole. So many times with those big snook you get pulled into the mangroves. But with a click of a button your dug in and held in place and you can fight those fish from a distance so they don’t reach the mangroves. Just a suggestion. I know it’s a lot of money but in the long run should make a big difference. Looking forward to the next video👍🐠
