MASSIVE Topwater Snook Fishing

In this episode of BlacktipH, I meet up with my friend Ryan Nitz to fish the backcountry mangroves for giant snook using topwater lures. We started sight casting these giant fish with live mullet. The fish were aggressively feeding on the surface! After hooking a few with live bait, we decided to switch to topwater lures. The first snook Ryan pitched at destroyed the lure, and from then on the rest of the day was incredible! Almost every snook we spotted and threw at tried to eat our lures.

[@slamrock17]

The drone footage just makes this amazing

[@coler235]

I love how many times josh says “oh my gosh!! That’s a GIANT dude!” Could be a 1lb bass, and Oh my gosh it’s a giant!

[@thebreadedcrab4252]

Or has to disagree or contradict everything anyone says LOL super annoying

[@MLGtroll365]

[@kevinpurcell2521]

[@ADVENTURESOFBZ]

Literally as good as it gets. As a fisherman, you CANNOT beat this. Its friggin perfect!!!

[@liveyourbestlife756]

Having a bad day. Watching you slay some snook made it better man!

[@liveyourbestlife756]

That really made my day bro!

[@2tallslays757]

Until he lies about them being giant then I click off and find another honest fishing channel

[@russnicholas6796]

[@CBonesey]

This episode needs to be an hour long!!! I could watch this all day.

[@FatBellyFishing]

i know right! sadly it takes a crap ton of hours just to film what they did

[@2tallslays757]

I couldn’t I can’t stand him lying about it being giant fish

[@FatBellyFishing]

That sound of the Snook crashing on Top is why i fish and film for them the most

[@ralphmoore5387]

They just explode on it

[@j.stribling2565]

Have fished this style since the 1970's. Glad to see snook are back -- and that you guys respect the fish properly -- fantastic day!

[@eddyballester8990]

What a phenomenal show! Wow... the action, the drone shots.. an overall wonderful show! Thanks! Much respect!

[@tyler-6477]

My dad loved this video, his favorite fish was snook and when he was alive we would watch snook videos, we had to have watched this video in particular 5+ times, the joy on his face seeing these snook is indescribable, oh how I miss my father.

[@Ok-dm1ck]

Rest In Peace man, your father sounds like he was a great man. And you guys sound like you had an amazing relationship. God bless

[@andrewstevens6137]

Thanks for the amazing videos, the whole family watches them! We live in the jax/st augustine area and shark fishing Is a big deal to us, even my 3 year old son has seen most of your videos!

[@Carlos-Garcia47]

Why are you videos so addictive, I watched one and then just couldn't stop watching. You even put me in the mood to go deep sea fishing

[@heatherd.9390]

Not only were those fish big, but I didn't realize what pretty fish they are. Great video - epic footage, for sure! Thanks Josh & Ryan! Heather🇨🇦

[@randalllewis2434]

Drones have completely changed the fishing show experience!! Great footage guys….

[@RadReelingFishing]

Excellent as always. Topwater is so exciting. You really bring the experience up close!

[@yeeyee1649]

[@bojohnson6620]

There’s not a word I can think of that justifies how epic this is

[@pangarans]

I've never seen fish so aggresive like that. You're a wizard to use that lure. It's 10/10 each time you throw the line! Epic!

[@misaelcunha4435]

hi my friend, do you know what that bait is used for? I don't understand your language, I'm from Brazil

[@Snoekvisser1972]

[@dannyd-rockmahaffey3087]

[@paulrudolph820]

Have you ever done a video on your gear? I’m also a huge Shimano guy. Can you do a breakdown of your rods and reels and what matchups you use and recommend for different fish species?

[@FatBellyFishing]

for snook those size saragosas 6000 are the perfect reel and put a beating on those fish

[@gtxxsn1per95xx]

There is nothing more satisfying than a topwater bite

[@djvis6043]

I love snook fishing. They are my favorite fish to catch. This video is a banger!

[@christopherphelps3101]

Great video josh

[@iana_rhoadez7787]

You and studio C always upload at the exact same time

[@chrish6485]

I live in Florida and I would love to go fishing with you sometime

[@johnmoore3504]

The drone footage is great. I’ve found these laid up snook before and always thought a drone would be an ideal way to find more. Any theories on this behavior? Pre spawn or post spawn? Everyone says fish the inlets and beach in the summer but my experience over the years is the opposite. Like this video shows the monsters have some staging or resting spots. If you find them it’s crazy. Also kills all those who claim you can only use topwaters during low light conditions. They will clearly eat well in the midday sun.

[@steve-o254]

great video bro!

[@andersonalmeida9153]

very productive your fishing congratulations, your channel is show .....

[@RWoodOutdoors]

Awesome action!

[@themangoman5711]
