When you released that giant pompano I almost unsubscribed!! Just kidding dude! What a beast. Never had Pomp. It's on my bucket list. Hoping to get my brother to make a trip with me down to the Alabama coast, and maybe even down where you are in Florida. I'm getting pretty close to retirement, and I want to spend a few springs down that way before I go meet my maker. Love the channel. The variety is what makes it superior to a lot of other channels. Really digging the truck camping.

[@wildmuscle9206]

Thank you JC for being so responsible and intelligent with your approach toward preserving the quality of our fisheries. You rock! 🎸 🎣

[@danthebeeman]

I almost cried when you released that pompano🥲🥲

Your videos are amazing, congratulations you are a great fisherman!👍🎣😊 Your pompano catch was fantastic Hug!!!

[@thetruthgodcountry5052]

Another great video! What a way to start Sunday with a hot cup of coffee and a little bit of Pompano fishing. You actually got me motivated to go over to the beach and see what's out there

[@rongregory1430]

Great Sportsmanship! JC, You always seem to have a great time , thanks for another great adventure.😊

Thank you so much for another adventure. That was so amazing you released in that pompano bud I would’ve kept it but I don’t have red tide here in Fort Lauderdale so I understand why awesome job brother can’t wait for the next one.

Great video JC. There is meat above the eyes of the pompano. Love that bike.

[@clearwaterboating]

I could already see that pomp on the grill! Nice work JC!

[@timmiller2192]

Thanks for the video! Was fishing those two areas a couple weeks ago on my vacation on the tail end of the red tide. A few lady fish was the only thing I caught. Thought I might see you around😀

[@ronnyk6263]

Thanks JC, let's hope they come back to the jetty a lil thicker. Only seen a few caught.

Easier said than done - You said it and released it - Great job

[@Bluefin_Bart]

Well done. Tried a few times of Venice beach and hooked a nice one which ended up snapping me off as my line went over a small pile of seaweed which put more tension on my rod. Was such a crazy battle I need to go after some more!!

[@Saltyakcharters]

I wasn’t hungry when I started watching this video, but man that fish looks awesome!

Hey thanks for explaining why you let momma go back to sea. Now I’ll have to think twice if I catch an 18 inch pomp.

[@johnj.palica3938]

Good video JC. I think I know what Snook you almost had the day before but lost it. 😮 Klaus may have caught it right after she broke you off. Good thing … you putting back that female Pompano to let her have babies and replenish the fish we lost to red tide. You’re a responsible fisherman and conservationist. Now we just need to find the redfish that disappeared. Keep bringing those videos JC. Great entertainment and instructional too. 😊

[@quang4055]

Rollerblading down that bridge is insane

[@juanr4053]

You catch and release that nice pompano and went to the supermarket and buy it I'm trying to make sense with your thinking 🤔 sick dude big respect

[@RadReelingFishing]

Somewhere in the video I mentioned that we had a recent red tide fish kill that was terrible. That's why I did what I did. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@johnchamp2473]

JC It was cool to let that big Pomp go back and make some babies. Have never bought a pomp in the store but many do. I think the fresher the better 🤣

[@anataone]

Holy cow i didnt think some those bike were 2k. That water looks so pretty. 😍 every time ive gone out this year the water has been terrible.

[@RRFISHING1]

JC, great vid, sadly you did not keep that beautifull large fresh cought pomp at the beach. I agree the supermarket option did look as good. Keep sharing your fishing adventures.

[@RRFISHING1]

Good reason for releasing that gal.

[@roscoep6199]

If you use a large clam shell under your kickstand you can park in the sugar sand

[@trampster7306]

Nice video thanks JC. I thought the Pomp you caught would sure get an invitation to tea! No way would I eat fish that had been frozen with the guts in. I bought some 10" frozen whole fish here for bait a few years ago, and once I started cutting it up, man it was stinking. My clothes were stinking for weeks despite a number of trips through the washer. Stay safe & well! 🎣🎣👍👍

[@Jtroberts0]

I'd love to see a video of how you setup your fishing gear on your ebike

[@2Cool4Ryan]

Thanks for releasing that fat Pomps! I caught a few today, released 4/5, only kept one for my family.

[@mod_incllc3235]

JC sets the example that more SW FL fishermen should take. Let's help our fishery keep healthy. Let the big ones grow and spawn so that our offspring can catch their offspring. Kudos to JC and all of the other anglers willing to sacrifice a little bit for the future. Hopefully the scientists will find a way to control Karenia brevis aka Red Tide in the future.

[@ryanhampson673]

They need to complete the Everglades reclamation project and allow the water from Okeechobee to flow south into the Everglades. When they build the dykes 100 years ago for the farms it trapped the water there and all the run off from the farms dumps fertilizer into the water and then it’s discharged out the two canals east and west every year causing the algae bloom.

[@2003zq8]

J.C those pompano at the store were not good. You can tell by the eyes... if their opaque or sunken in that fish are past their selling point. Be careful, its not worth getting sick tto add some content to a video.

[@chrislee9413]

That's crazy I think that's the ringing Pier I fish there all the time

[@charlierahner2141]

Nice EBike. The only reason I would consider an EBike would be to go fishing along the beach. My only question/concern is how the bike will stand up to repeated exposure to the salt spray.

[@RadReelingFishing]

I rinsed it off just like my fishing rods and kayak.

[@michaelgreene]

JC I have that same pic with the two hands.

[@HFG.]

Coming down to st Augustine next week, is there still pompano in that area?

[@RadReelingFishing]

Not sure, I'm on the west coast.

[@michaelmoore7550]

How is the water temperature. I was just in Mexico, and the Pacific was still too cold to stand in

[@RadReelingFishing]

[@frankrothe3064]

Hey looks like I'm the first comment. I like that white shake spear rod.where did you find it? Like the bike too. I'm glad you put a VID out todaybecause none of the regulars you know posted this week. I'll be headed to Sand Key on Monday and then workink south to Woody"s hitting spots in between.

[@David-ly8ez]

JC that pompano from the store is farm raised. BTW how is your truck coming along?

[@RadReelingFishing]

The truck's in good shape. I have one more thing I need to have done, axle bearings and seals. The one tire that doesn't have the matching rim is where the seal is leaking. I'm guessing it has something to do with the previous owner cracking that tire rim in that area.

[@David-ly8ez]

@@RadReelingFishing Good luck

[@danaparks8812]

Have you heard any specials being run by certain companies that are selling e-bikes? They start off by saying that they're only 39 or $49 for a certain amount until they have to give them away and then charge regular price of $680 or something similar? I've just wondering if that is a scam the other ones that are so cheap? Or is that really worth looking into? I'm ready to go as soon as PT says I'm clear, and away, away, away.... I want to go!

[@leonardosilver9578]

You said 25 lb test mono leader, what is the main line? Thanks

[@RadReelingFishing]

10 lb or 15 lb braid.

[@Marrio49]

Just a suggestion, so you don’t burn your garlic. Heat up your oil and drop the whole clove of garlic in and let it infuse with the oil then remove it. This will prevent your garlic from burning. I’m Italian and this is how we do it not all the time, but in your case definitely. Americans use way too much garlic than is necessary. Best, Charles

[@g4agito16]

How many oz is the pompano jigs your using?

I’m all for conservation. I throw back all trout over 20 here in Mississippi and only keep a certain amount of fish. However you will never see me throw back a legal pompano. They are delicious.

[@Floridamarty]

I am confused? You caught a big pomp and released it. Then you went to the store and bought one? Am I missing something??

[@RadReelingFishing]

I made this video after red tide killed massive amounts of fish in this city.

[@user-dy9cs2kr2n]

what beach is that?

[@RadReelingFishing]

Thanks for watching. I don't reveal locations 99% of the time. Just go to any major Florida inlet during the spring or fall and you'll find Pompano. That information is better than me giving you an exact location. Pompano are always in the inlets during those times of year. Just get out there and jig for them, keep moving around until you find them. You want some moving current, but not super swift. If you can get near where the beach meets the inlet you're golden. Just about every Pompano video I've ever made was in a Florida inlet, either off the shore or bridge. Good luck!

[@AussieRic]

You throw fish back then buy one??

[@RadReelingFishing]

Did you watch all of the video? I explained why.

[@kostas7869]

Hi! What is the casting weight of your rod?

[@RadReelingFishing]

If you're asking the max lure weight it's 1-1/2 ounces. If you want the weight of the rod do a search on the Ugly Stik website.

[@kostas7869]

@RadReelingFishing Yes that's what I am asking about! Thank you for your response! What is the weight of these pompano jigs that you normally use in these shallow waters?

[@RadReelingFishing]

@@kostas7869 I vary the weight of the jig depending on the depth, current, wind speed and direction. I keep an assortment of jigs 1/4 oz, 3/8 oz, 1/2 oz, 3/4 oz and 1oz. The idea is to keep the jig gently bouncing on the bottom. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f37NmXqGoMyYf9k

[@kostas7869]

@RadReelingFishing Thank you very much!! The video was also helpful!!! What braid and leader do you suggest for this type of fishing? How many lbs? I am a little bit confused because I am coming from Greece and there, we assort the braid with PE number and the leader with mm...

15 lb test braid with a 25 lb test mono or fluorocarbon leader is fine. @@kostas7869
