Catching Big Fish from My Hotel Room!

[@mp4213]

As soon as I saw the inn I knew immediately where you are. There is a tire/shop/mechanic shop just across the street that I ran for Tires plus for 13 years. I have fished that lake 100’s of times in the afternoon before going home. I have caught snook,tarpon,jacks,bass,catfish and a bunch of smaller exotics.

I work for Bridgestone too. Cheers brother 🍻!

[@scottmichael3745]

@ayo9057 So I live central east coast near Sebastian inlet. So it's pretty "brackish" when you're up in the creeks like Turkey Creek, Crane Creek, Melbourne River, Sebastian River, ect. And I've caught largemouth on shrimp in brackish water, and been miles up creeks in to fresh water and seen Big tarpon. Lotta brackish fish can survive either. Bull sharks have swam over 100 miles up the Mississippi. Nature is crazy sometimes.

[@gatormc4838]

The X-Rap must be a favorite lure with worn hooks? Have you ever considered retiring a Lure? Any lure that was so darn lucky, you never want to lose it?

[@devincraig465]

Hey Brant, I know that you’re still down in Naples probably. there’s a lot of good spots that are holding big fish right now. Lotta tarpon around also. I’m local

[@mattbyrne1822]

Hotel Fish 🤣🤣 great video. I love how you try anywhere to fish it's classic. Keep up the great work.

[@reelivin8112]

Brant, spent the last 5 yrs as a traveling Supt. I used to purposely stay at places just like where your at so I could fish whenever I wanted. 😊worked out 50/50 fresh -vs- salt where I stayed, caught so many different species and many good times and better dinners!

[@dan-o9746]

Fish from your hotel room. Reminds me of a song by Frank Zappa - "Mud Shark"

[@jeffreyparks2371]

I think that song was about fish IN a motel room, and in other things 😂😂😂

[@Jcoffeetime]

You should do a catch clean cook of them cichlids

[@cayminlast]

I have driven past that lake countless times in the past 30+ years, before they developed the area and built the hotels ect. always wondered what was swimming around in there but never took the time to wet a line.Thanks for sharing.

[@GriffinKiger]

Awesome hat!! Go Noles!! Beat the volunteers tomorrow!!

[@everettstewart7844]

Go Gators

[@RMRCV]

If that is Naples, there are huge tarpon and snook there.👍🎣👍

[@cayminlast]

It's on the corner of Tamiami Trail and Bonita Beach Rd. I recognized the location immediately, have driven past there countless times.

[@omarvinca3374]

Yes! I clicked on it immediately because I knew my Bonita springs when I see it

[@theabsolutetruth2024]

Are those Cichlids invasive, and are they good to eat?

[@scottmichael3745]

​@@theabsolutetruth2024yes invasive, and they make good bait! Never tried to eat one so don't know.

[@douglasschweyher7964]

Brooo this is right by my house lmaooo

[@madhatter2465]

Man! I gotta tell you that you must have a sniffing nose for where there is fish, You are the most adventurest and determined fisherman on any KZbin channel, Unbelievable a Peacock Bass! I was surprised no snakehead, Hey Brant I saw an article about a snakehead that was caught up here in NY it looked legit, You find some of the best spots to go fishing in S Florida, It was Great watching this video!

[@HeOkayFishing]

Brant actin like he only got 1 xrap 😂

[@williamandrews4251]

Beautiful lake,l love the way the water looks.

[@tntoutdoors_]

It’s the little spots you can find that make for Great memories !!! 🧨🧨🧨

[@brianjeffrey1790]

Great video Brant how come nobody's done a catch and cook with the cichlids I would think they would be similar to a bluegill just kind of curious about that

[@alvinhang8721]

Excellent place to stay for a few nights, especially for the people who love fishing. I think the big fish are a bit more wary, since they have been caught a few times by other anglers.

[@squatchthumper7537]

Nice variety!!! Those orange stripe fish remind me of rock bass in the midwest

[@MattyLentzGETRICKROLLED]

They are called oscar chiclid

[@Blane_be_fishin]

I’ve caught some big snook in there 20 years ago. 😂 let’s go fishing Brant! I’m a local guide.

[@goodcitizen64]

Great video!! My grandson loved it!!

[@JeremyRevers-ir3lw]

There’s big tarpon and snook in that lake. Bluegills are the way to go.

[@jeri926]

Cracked me up, fishing in the hotel lake. 😅

[@davetrent8612]

THAT'S what I call a vacation hotel brother~! I just moved from Virginia to Florida and Snook & a peacock bass is on my primary bucket list. And thru all my investigations, the prime places are leaning to the canals towards the Eastern part of the state. You caught one on each while I am sitting on my ass at the moment! I have been following you for sometime now but this my first post. I want to learn more from anglers like yourself & others and I am retired now. Anytime/anywhere I'll be honored to spend time fishing with You. I fished the Cape Hatteras Point and cruise the beach in my 4x4! Great Job

[@jasonsmith2439]

You lucky bastard lol I live in Virginia and my dream is to move to south Florida and fish. I live in emporia Virginia and the fishing sucks! To much fishing pressure and not enough water. Good luck with your new venture

[@reelinfishin-n-football6398]

There used to be a huge tarpon in there

[@littlemiamijeff]

I was attending training in Ft. Lauderdale in the West side. My hotel was on a canal/lake. Caught my first peacock bass there. Also had a guy saying at the same hotel drop me on the canal a few blocks West and caught peacocks there too. Great time

[@skaflagoon]

I always stay at HI when I travel. I'll remember this.

[@robsgarage4746]

nice vid Brant! what Hampton Inn were u shacking up in with the water in the back? City?

[@paulnelson5314]

Alligator gar was my guess for a four footer

[@TheHemiphil81]

That would be a good pond to kayak fish if it was allowed.

[@davidhuffman8352]

Videos that have Peacocks and Snook in them are my favorite.

[@mattjones1378]

My goal is to travel south and hook one of those beautiful peacock bass.

[@dorothybrannam1198]

Great video, you did a good job. May God bless you and your family and friends. Keep up the good work. Thank you for what you do.

Hey, those pink birds are called roseate spoonbills. Very cool birds.

[@comfortablynumb9342]

Time to open a motel with a big brackish lake with a mix of fish for the guests to catch?!

You need to go right down the road to master bait and tackle.

You need to do a video with Richard Gene the fishing machine in his waters, that would be big I feel

[@kendallhurst7018]

Bro, I know you like fishing florida waters. Navarre Pier had large schools of tarpon...50-60 easy!!!! Personally seen 4 individual hookups at the same time. Take Brad and Beach Bum with you...

I just went there and didn’t catch anything lol

[@tandye0014]

I don’t know how I ended up finding your channel today but I am so glad I did! I’ve been wondering something that maybe you can help with. I visit the panhandle several times a year (Ft Pickens). I was wondering if there is a possible correlation between the many fishermen who fish from the beaches right next to swimmers may be contributing to the increase of sharks coming in so close to shore? It seems maybe if they had more designated areas to fish separate from swimmers it could lessen the number of sharks coming in so close to shore. I’m all for everyone’s rights to fish. This is really just a curious question.

[@InRodWeTrust2112]

I am heading to Naples next week for a week, it will cool fishing

[@tommessner3502]

Seeing how you caught a gar, maybe there are some real big ones in there?

[@comfortablynumb9342]

If only you knew where to find a tackle shop that sells new X Raps, and new hooks for your old lures 😂. Seriously in Costa Rica I trolled some X Raps and caught so many mackerel and small tuna and huge jacks that they had holes, the paint was gone and they still caught fish until I broke the hooks and eventually the attachments for the hooks got trashed and they were shot. X Raps can be deadly lures.

[@AlexRomanFlorida]
