A simple thing like debarbing the treble hooks makes it easier on the fish and just a tiny bit lower hook up ratio. Good stuff ...

[@edphillips2998]

Nah. De-barbing trebles on a hard bait makes it way too easy for the lure to get thrown. Replace ‘em with in-line, single hooks about two sizes up. Hook-up ratio will be about the same but you’ll bring a lot more fish to the boat.

[@casualmemesurfer2754]

I'm in Rochester NY. I love your videos. I was raised in Daytona beach so I used to fish like you do. It brings back a lot of memories. Thanks for what you do.

[@jackchn23]

Dude, come back! Rocha-cha can’t be better than Central Florida! Went to SUNY Oswego, I don’t think I could ever move back!

[@justin_menendez]

Thanks for the support!!

[@SNOOKINGAROUND]

Catch them on Topwater all the time down here in Texas, I use owner inline single hooks, can't beat those blow ups...Brownsville, TX 🤘🤘🎣🎣

[@McQuadeOutdoors]

single hooks are the way to go, kept hooking myself with the trebles

[@SNOOKINGAROUND]

@@McQuadeOutdoors yep seen it happen a couple of times, not fun when your both hooked and the fish is shaking like crazy lol

[@McQuadeOutdoors]

@@SNOOKINGAROUND Right! only did that a few times before making the switch.

[@DarrienRobinson1]

The sound that the rod makes when he closes the bail never gets old !

Top water Awesomeness🎣🐟🐟🐟. As the crow flies, I live 3,400 feet southwest from where Maggie caught that flounder. BTW I caught 2 flounder the next week just north of there east of the intracoastal near the manatee signs.

[@osceolaassassin3188]

Nice work! Transfixed on your spook every cast. Is it safe to say more top water action is on the way for us viewers? I sure hope so. You were killing it today. Could have watched this for hours. Thanks!

[@phillipshoes]

Good job! I didn't get as much action Saturday with top water in Jupiter where I'm from. I should walk it quicker; from what I see how you walk it. I'm a farrier by trade, I shoe horses. Thanks for your steady stream of videos.🐴🎣

SARASOTA FLORIDA Baby Loving the Topwater action brother

[@jamesputnal572]

Watching from Port Orange near Ponce while on vacation. Born in Central Florida. Inshore tournament fishing landed me in Central Georgia with a job that wouldn’t fire me when I took 10 weeks off per year to fish. The last time the economy crashed we had to kill the tournaments. Cool channel man, congratulations. You’ve covered some good ground and get it done. Watching is almost as good as being there again, emphasis on almost.

[@gabequintanilla6389]

San Antonio, Texas Enjoy your videos 🤘

[@dcbuis2]

Epic video!

[@Saltfly]

Nothin like a good top water session

[@jeffhenderson3318]

I got my start Snook fishing in the Everglades. It was nothing but top water mirr-o-lures. About 3 hours in, I caught my 20th mangrove and was pissed. So I yanked as hard as I could and luckily it came out… but at a million miles per hour. Next stop was the Marco Island Emergency Room to have 2 sets of treble hooks surgically removed. No one at the hospital gave me a 2nd glance. (Ordinary for them to see someone with a lure stuck to their face and neck…) 2 hours later, a stop by Miami Subs and we were back on the water. So, I certainly understand why you don’t like treble hooks.

[@romeoduarte849]

Awesome video Miami Fl 🎣

[@johnfernandez3166]

Leesburg FL love your videos bro

[@HalfShellOutdoors]

I ain’t too big on the topwaters, usually if I throw a hardbait it’s a jig, but this video was insane. Saying hey from Pensacola.

[@palmstopinesoutdoors9304]

That second eat was too insane. Rushing the lure back to the boat 🚢

[@Andrew_Mason]

Naples Florida, don’t remember the last time I used a top water because of the hooks but now I want to uses them. Your the reason I got a gheenoe and I don’t regret getting one.

[@tomparsons817]

Fort Laud, good stuff!

[@KeeganRoach11]

Viewing from Jacksonville Fl love the vids

[@Florida_DD]

Spooks are my favorite lure 💪🙌

[@blackbirdfpv1981]

Justin I always change out the factory hooks especially on the spooks and I get the 3x or 4x treble hooks in black and the hook up ratio is ten times better then using the standard silver/grey hooks that come with them. One u really have to find which u might have a hard time is the Spook One Knocker Top water . The thing u have to look for is its only bone color and it's not painted its body is the bone color and u can tell because the eye for the line is silver with no paint on it. The Big snook for whatever reason thend to crush it and same with the reds. I want to say the size is 2 treble hooks from VMC but give it a try I think u might be really happy with the results

[@scottleggejr]

It's weird seeing someone throw a spook on a spinning rod. You east coast guys are wild. You sure do work those reels well though, braking, distance, etc.. Thanks for all the content man. Been binging you for a couple weeks now. Good shit.

[@mikeup7517]

Roanoke,VA by way of Ft Myers. I miss the fishing so much!

[@fishingwithjoy]

Coveting your fishing success from St Pete, FL

[@lowcountrytobackcountryins3049]

Georgia transplant from FL that loves your vids. Mostly fish SC. Watch those trebs!!! I use a lip gripper and plier combo for treble removal. I had a 4 lb bass on one end of a topwater and my hand up to the hook bend of the second treble on the other end. A snook, tarpon or redfish on the other end would've been worse!

[@United_By_Water]

I have fished that area a lot. Get out there early, fish the shade lines and laydowns as long as you got the shade, big snook will be there...along with tarpon, reds and trout. I have seen some big tarpon in the canals north. Repping O-Town.

[@nicoleanna9835]

Man, you are pretty far north from the stuart area.. love fishing that east bank on Merritt island. Keep some for me too :(
