[@michaelnandlal]

how are you finding these spots? are you using side imaging?

[@johncampbell1191]

Great vid! Keep up the good work. You aren't kidding about those dolphins at the pier. It's getting worse and worse each year.

[@Thonny]

Thank you! I haven’t been fishing the pier lately how are the bites there?

[@joeyfitzpatrickfishing]

[@VinnyGBK]

Those are actually good eating as long as you handle them properly

[@wa2cid]

Very nice video.Pompano Master.

[@Thonny]

[@keithwhite3172]

Good stuff brother!!

[@robertrio632]

Nice catch. Seems seem to be picking up as we head into fall.

[@Thonny]

It’s heating up for sure !

[@SWFL_FISHING_239]

Good fishing! We have been slaying the big mangroves here in swfl

[@jtrapolsi]

Thonny, congrats on winning the Salt Strong Trout Championship Belt.

[@Thonny]

Thank you!!

[@curtmurdurk]

Great video. The 20 lb leader got many bites it just couldn’t hold up to some of those fish

[@Thonny]

They’re too strong and too fast!

[@lanhtran8200]

Nice job 👍

[@Jason-wx7ms]

I would like to hear what your set up is each video ie what your using for bait, size hook and leader. I couldn’t tell if you were cutting up the bait or using whole greenbacks in this video. Thanks. Awesome channel.

[@Thonny]

Was using big chunks of cut greenbacks!

[@ttv_yt_Marshymallow56]

What size hook for most grouper and snapper species?

[@Thonny]

4/0 mutu light circle hooks for fishing the shipping channel. But other than that I’d use 6/0 if you’re going offshore or the skyway pier

[@mikelancaster2655]

Why do you fish for Grouper with 20 pound leader? You will break off just about anything decent.

[@frostizz2072]

Love when Tampa bay master posts

[@Thonny]

👊 👊 appreciate you watching !

[@VinnyGBK]

Hell yea man maybe I’ll run into you the water and we can fish together nice catches always a damn good time

[@Thonny]

👊 👊

[@azizhanmore6958]

You needa do some night fishing for snook by the JP bridge bites been nuts

[@abrahamjoseph6707]

Any recommendations for a nice big fishing backpack. I have wild river bag but small to carry all my tackle.

[@Thonny]

Check out Shimano blackmoon backpack

[@davescheer5038]

🌴 Hey bro, now that was a kick azz day , did you try chumming those mangroves by a the buoy ? You started snapping lines on them grouper should have tried some of uncle Dave’s magic wire 🤣 more bait next time we need longer videos👍🏼😄. Tight lines ✌🏼. Was out at terra verde today got two keeper mangroves ( I was getting baked🥵)

[@gianlucadilorenzo3695]

Hey do you free line the greenback for the grouper or are you using a split shot to get them to the bottom?

[@Thonny]

Free line !

[@Ianboy0505]

Thonny, nice video! What are the rod and reel specs for the combo that you used to catch the 25" grouper?

[@chrisjones720]

You can look at his rod guides and kind of tell that his rod is in the MH to H range

[@MrRojas54]

Sup thonny. Are you just blind casting for the bait? What techniques are you using to spot them?

[@Thonny]

No I was seeing them! Just use polarized sunglasses. You’ll see them flashing

[@Jason-wx7ms]

What size rod and reel were you using for the grouper?

[@Thonny]

Heavy action and 8k reel!!

[@jackchn23]

How did they keep breaking you off? Lite leader?

[@Thonny]

Light leader !

[@Jason-wx7ms]

Do you fish the channel north or south of the skyway?

[@Thonny]

Both sides !

[@angelcondado9171]

bro is soo fun 😄 .. do you use free lina?

[@Thonny]

Yes !

[@clarenceelliott9009]

Nice mango catch 🪝

[@Thonny]

Thank you!

Why do you dress like a bank robber?
