This was beyond epic, Rich. Was at the edge of my seat the entire time and my dinner got cold in the process. Definitely want to get my hands on some of those Fishaholic lures.

[@garylostinspace8500]

WOW! Very impressed that you were able to catch that massive Jack on such lightweight rod/reel and 10# test!

[@frankbeck2180]

I would never get upset catching a snook while fishing for a sheepshead. No better tasting fish than snook. Keep em comming one of my most favorite fisherman.

[@HyphenzaOfficial]

I love how nicely he treats the fish

[@bitefishing]

That was sweet to leave a timestamp for the big jack, but I don't think I would ever skip any of the fishing. Hope you had a Merry Christmas and you have a wonderful New Year!

[@jway_]

What a catch! Wasn’t expecting that size on such a light rig

[@mattgoodrich2296]

Watching you catch all those fish in florida, sure makes me miss the days of fishing with my dad in the keys. Thanks for your epic videos and for bringing back unforgettable memories. 👍😁👍

"He's getting tired now" *Phweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee* "Or not"

[@thedarktraveler7654]

1. Merry Christmas. 2. Sandfleas make a great bait and you can get them all over the beaches. Your other option is fidler crabs or mangrove crabs are available around there.

[@MrAscroggin]

You had my adrenaline going. I bet that was awesome. You need that 360 drive. Merry Christmas Rich.

[@andrewglasco4376]

Looks like you are loving Florida!! Great video as always!

[@marianogonzalez505]

Hey Rich! I have a need that might be a good idea for a series in your channel. I moved from Argentina to Florida 3 years ago and I'm still trying to learn about species and techniques for each of them. Can you make a beginners serie teaching us the basic about species, bait, techniques, etc? Thank you so much man, I really enjoy your videos..

[@scottbecker5700]

That’s awesome Rich! Congratulations on that huge donkey of a Jack on your lure! Tight lines, Scott

[@erickrivera9466]

that statement is so true everytime you say you think they're getting tired they always immediately do a run off

[@williammurray7264]

I have no idea how that little hook was able to hold that Jack. Insane.

[@richdunn9774]

Lol. As soon as you said he’s getting tired I started laughing because I knew what happens next.

[@BamaPatriot61]

Love your videos! That was a super stud Jack! Always enjoy hooking Jacks! So fun!

[@CeeCast]

These Florida kayak videos are the best

[@donjohnson9063]

That was a great battle Rich you handled that jack so well with the set up you have, well done man. What a beautiful fish it was n what an awesome evening of fishing.

@6:17...you should have known THAT was going to happen. Always unhook Ladyfish off the side of the kayak. Great fishing as always!

[@aaronhiggs]

Lady fish are the freaking worst on a kayak. Lol. I always keep them off the kayak to release. If I’m keeping them for bait, I bucket them immediately. Lady fish are nasty. lol

[@MichaelBrown-ny3et]

I never heard such a disappointed reaction to catching g a snook.

Hey Rich, great catch, loving watching all your vids. I’m heading to Florida next week from England and planning on fishing everyday. Heading to the bridges in the middle keys first then I am heading to laurderdale by the sea, will I have much luck from the beach in laurderdale in November? Cheers Jon

[@matthewcassman5381]

My blood was pumping watching this. Nothing better than an unexpected monster!

[@HeirofCarthage]

Are snook good eating or are they more like Largemouth bass, people just like to sport fish them?

[@BeetleBuns]

they're like bass in that sense, more of a sport fish to most people. Bass are good eating though, and I hear the same about snook, so if you catch a legal snook don't be ashamed of giving it a taste lol

[@TwoFingerSaloute]

It’s -33 Celsius here in Alberta, I desperately need Spring and Summer to come fast!!! Staring at my fly rod everyday hurts my soul lol

[@alecvujic6029]

I caught my first snook a couple weeks ago. They’re fun to fish for and they can get surprisingly big.

[@andywhitesell1256]

"there's one"drag screams off the reel instant happiness

[@clantonaw]

Not sure if you've ever tried fiddlers for bait on the sheepshead but they always worked for us up in Central FL. Give 'em a try!

[@willh.2155]

Awesome action and footage. Thanks!

[@MrChoco409]

Im glad that we all unanimously use the term river monster to describe them. All thanks to the unequivocal GOAT Jeremy Wade

Massive jack. Made me think you and Lawson should meet up for a session. Hes not too far.

Awesome video rich! I’ve been meaning to ask you how do you manage fishing licenses for all the states that you fish at? Do you get temporary licenses or like lifetime license?

Jack was good but the angling was top notch. Not easy to land on a yack . Nice jobr dude 😎
