Catching RARE and POWERFUL fish on BFS Fishing Tackle in Florida

[@JoeHazlet]

There is nothing better than pitting yourself against big fish with small tackle and line. Were you could get broke off or get spooled. It is fun and will get your heart pumping. Glad you did it and had a blast. Be blessed. My friend.

[@rawrfishing]

You got that right! Was probably one of my fav fishing trips of the year

[@schbrthkumpau]

In my experience with pond barramundi for me wild barra much more figth 👍 both is fun.nice catch Jimmy

[@rawrfishing]

I will take what I can get. But imagine if there's a hurricane that flooded the pond and let the fish go wild here lol... We got similar fish called snook here

[@randallmiller572]

Nice work Jimbo!! Looks like a lot of fun!

[@rawrfishing]

It was! Thanks mate

[@RworldKM]

Using the Bone Voyage was a good choice, back in Singapore countless Barras have been caught thanks to that stiffer backbone that give the extra "Ooomph!" needed to bring them in.

[@rawrfishing]

Thx man! I definitely love this travel rod!

[@ronaldyeater3322]

Sup jimmy, been a minute.. they fight so hard, this was awesome just to see, bfs does have some serious gear, I'm so impressed, was that heavy rod? been a while, had another operation, see what happens, hope family well. Tyvm tc 🎣

[@rawrfishing]

Thx man. No that is a light tackle rod! The Bone Voyage BFS BVC634L rod. It's an impressive one, I also have landed big snakeheads with it! It's insane!

[@ronaldyeater3322]

@@rawrfishing wow, I never knew could be that strong, thats very impressive, makes me rethink some rod choices lol. Tyvm

[@rawrfishing]

It's all about how to handle the drag and the angle of your rod ;)

[@TheFishingNomad]

Nice. I caught my first and only this past summer when I was in Singapore. Mine was just a baby though. Yours were nice.

[@rawrfishing]

Thx man! I wish to travel to and fish in Asia one day!

[@needmoreboost6369]

Cool had no idea you guys caught those there!

[@rawrfishing]

ohhh yeah :) fun place to test your skills!

[@mtac.JesusisKing]

Man that was epic congrats on the great catches

[@rawrfishing]

Thx mate

[@pacman_17]

I can't imagine you using anything other than the FG knot with 50lb leader. The water looked clear. Some fish don't care if they can see 50lb leader, if the lure looks good they'll strike it. Also big fish will strike tiny lures. Having the Conquest drag clicker is great for video so we hear when the fish are pulling line.

[@rawrfishing]

Fg knot is hard to tie on that windy day. Double uni knot with the braided line doubled was how I did it.

[@christopherlee4613]

I got her on a Calcutta too...and Shimano's Beast master rod on 12lb line.

[@rawrfishing]

That is super nice! Can't believe they fray line like that

[@christopherlee4613]

@@rawrfishing it's their Gill plates... super sharp

[@rawrfishing]

When they turn, it rubs hard on the plate huh?

[@christopherlee4613]

@@rawrfishing yep...

[@samasimOFsh]

Shimano have really stepped up there game with there overheads this year.. i cant stop picking up my bfs Calcutta

[@rawrfishing]

It's a nice reel! I wished I had the Older one tho. Missed out on collecting em lol.

[@samasimOFsh]

@@rawrfishing I really regret not buying a megabass baitcaster when I had the chance.. 😭 Do you by any chance happen to know how the Daiwa SLP works 23 custom compares to the 23 Calcutta bfs?

[@rawrfishing]

That millionaire slp? I believe that is like a silver creek that's souped up well

[@justinchew7644]

Super good eating fish btw.

[@rawrfishing]

I wanted to eat it..... But I was out of town lol.

[@jeps1011]

what camera do you use thanks

[@rawrfishing]

Gopro 9 and Samsung galaxy S23 Ultra

[@jeps1011]

Thanks you

[@rawrfishing]

Yep, you should be able to see the difference between. I use mainly gopro for pov shots. Rolls are mainly back camera of the phone and most of my vids are front camera of my phone if i vlog. Which is why my eyes are sometimes not at the camera as I'm staring at myself talk lol

[@davidohlert4754]

I pike fish with bfs gear with a shimano 22 aldebaran bfs on a megabass levante F3-67lv it's a ML or the 6'4L legit design wildside rod when i can. It's so fun to get on a big one with light tackle and unless I'm throwing bigger than 1/2 oz to 3/4 I'm using my BFS gear.

[@rawrfishing]

It's definitely fun to catch pike family fish on bfs! Do u use wire leaders?

[@davidohlert4754]

​@@rawrfishingI have some single strand wire leader but Im mostly using 30 to 50 lb daiwa j floro...I catch more fish with fluorocarbon vs wire leaders. I caught a 36in 15lb fat pike earlier this year with a 30lb leader...you have to check your line for nicks after each catch and re tie if necessary.

[@rawrfishing]

yeah i often just use thicker leader material. 6 inches of 20 to 30 lb line depending on size of fish.

[@christopherlee4613]

My personal best Barra was 11.75kg.😊 They are native to Malaysia and and South East Asia and Australia.

[@rawrfishing]

That is a super beast

[@B.A.Bassangler]

Haha, I just had this idea (Magnum BFS). I'm new to BFS and don't want to spend much, but I thought it'd be cool to use micro Mule rigs for the mix of Bass, Carp and Crappie that hang at my local laydowns. Check my rig: 7' Ugly Stik ML, and Abu Black Max 3 with aftermarket BFS spool...all in for

[@rawrfishing]

sounds like it is Power BFS time! Not sure if you can throw Mule Micro size lures with that. not familiar with the rod, but ML may not work for the little lures Ethan sells.

[@B.A.Bassangler]

Thanks for the tip, maybe do a double rig with dropshot over jig. Either way, the Ugly Stick is a cult classic from my childhood, it's got a noodly tip with a ton of backbone. Can't wait to throw pond sized spinnerbaits and micro chatters on it. Merry Christmas yound brutha!@@rawrfishing

[@rawrfishing]

Happy holidays mate! Catch a nice one before 2023 ends!

[@andylee128]

Bro, I’d be so scared to lose some of these #baitfinesse baits on the thin lb line on the monsters that you’re catching 😢 . Bait finesse baits are pricey 😂

[@rawrfishing]

Hehe I was more scared for my rod than anything lol. And the spool!

[@B2sick]

bfs is a scam, just pick a spinning reel

[@rawrfishing]

Bfs is not a scam. Haters will hate and the ignorants will spew ignorance!

[@kickthephase8750]

If it was a scam it wouldn't work.....but here it is, working. Dont be a douche your whole life, if YOU dont like it then stfu and go follow a channel that does.more spin reel fishing

[@rawrfishing]

Right? Bfs is used for specific techniques. It got both pros and cons. If it fit your fishing needs, it is good. It's not a scam if it doesn't. It's a scam if someone lied to you and you bought into it. I have been extremely happy for using bfs!
