Deep Dropping Islamorada Humps for Grouper

[@markdandridge79]

Final update: this little reel is the little engine that could kzbin.infoUgkxSlytCJqozTF7EbdP4LWP-HUXf9WRDJ0e . It performed flawlessly and was easy to adjust drag in the moment while I was battling a 35lb bat ray behemoth. Mind you, this reel is spooled with only 25 lb braid and 25 mono topshot. It's paired with the kastking telescopic heavy power rod and the two work well together. This has now earned my respect and confidence when traveling and fishing. If you have ever hooked into large rays and sharks, you know they pull extremely hard and can run forever! This thing clamped down on the fish and was easy to adjust during the fight. It has a nice decently fast retrieve as well. Twice the fish went on mad runs and I was able to gain back line quickly to avoid spooling.

[@johnreid8551]

You threw the rest of the grouper carcass in the water? Are you crazy? That would have made an outstanding fish chowder!

[@rcspur1975]

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

Hey man my names Heiko. I wish I got the motor problem straight. This video is actually from the day previous to the motor issues. I'm working on my engine as we speak haha.

[@someoneelse2262]

Man. Save the grouper carcass for fish stock. Perfect fish for it!

[@scaffscaff8162]

Your drifting right while deep dropping?

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

Yup, we'll run a few hundred yards up current of the spot we want to drop on and then drop the weights so it hits the exact bottom we wanted it to.

[@hediaffes2179]

What does the glowstick do?

[@northwestfloridarccars5442]

It produces light so fish can see bait better. Very little light down deep

[@anthyaguirre2124]

Awesome

[@DarronSmithBahamianMillionaire]

Bro you need to double hook the bait better! Lol

[@froggleggers1805]

Less setup/baiting and more fishing, lines in the water, and catching please. Snorkeling part was excellent, more of that too, lol.

[@coggins63]

Oh man, how in the hell did you let that one getaway, and I'm not talking about the fish either. She's a real hottie, not that Caitlyn isn't

[@MisterQueue67]

Deep drop video starts out trolling squid. Ummmmm

[@garrettkiger2599]

That’s how to get more views. Have Fiona in more vids.

[@airraptor]

Great video but one part around 8 to 9 minute mark you kept talking about a squid and wire but all I saw was a blue bikini on a hot chic. What am I missing?

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

LOL

[@8ballphil150]

sod the fishing his missus is HOT

[@raulsanchez4493]

It’s a shame tossing that grouper carcass into the water instead of making fish soup

[@griffdog141]

tfw no deep sea fishing gf

[@renedelgado1572]

dude stop cutting fish diagonally. Wasting probably 1/4 of the fish. cut nearly horizontally from that fin.

[@mikewoods534]

would you rather reel up 500 feet of line yourself?

[@adamkittok]

Have u done it with a manual reel? I did it in 1300ft in the gulf. Not as fun as it seems lol. Would have killed for an electric reel there, but went 4/5 fish.
