When I cast net mullet I usually have a rock or something to throw to scare them (usually when water clarity is bad) helps locate and makes them school together to swim away. They react, move together and then realize there’s no threat, then get caught by my cast net

[@tituspellegrin9511]

A trophy fish deserves to be saved as a trophy for sure. Congrats!

[@larrycarr6545]

Mount it!

[@larrycarr6545]

If ya get a bigger one in the future, mount it too.

[@larrycarr6545]

Mount the biggest…eat the other one! Problem solved!

[@lindathrift4805]

I vote for mounting the fish in your new home. All the best to u and Maggie.

[@joemiller44444]

Replica mount. I would. Did you eat em yet? That's a huge triple for inside especially. You may not get that chance again but I hope you do.

[@harrykrukenberg5150]

Congrats on the PB tripletail! And sweet aerator...I'll definitely be getting myself one!

[@RealDealFishingVa]

Hi Justin. I’ve been a follow you for a couple years now I really enjoy your videos. I want to thank you for showing the new Frabill aerator. It’s exactly what I needed for my boat. Thank you so much for showing it to all of us.

[@jeffyarbrough1274]

Great video Justin!

[@1cryogen]

Save quart yogurt/deli containers and make block ice in your freezer. 4 of those in your Yeti would last all day.

[@LionelJamesfishing]

Dope ep !

[@ernestrobbio9719]

Congrats! You deserve it! Love your videos and all your tips. Surprised that you’re not at 200+ subscribers! Keep up the great work!

[@Rickyschaefer23]

The timing couldn’t have been more perfect was just talking to my cousin about catching some bait… appreciate the pointers 💯

[@schuylerhoufek]

dude.. from the beginning of the fight I knew you caught it because you said you got your PB but it still gave me anxiety especially around that trap and when you couldn’t get a hold of em!!! 😂 yeewww

[@FLFlatsmaster]

What an absolute stud of a triple tail.. nicely done. Would love to see an updated rod and reel arsenal video soon, I bet that’d do well. 🤙🏼

[@artificialslinger9730]

Both his combos are Penn slammers and Fenwick rods don't remember sizes. But he normally says what he's using in his videos most the time

[@joshuadirocco1811]

Liking the vibe of the video with the edits and tips.

[@casper600rr]

I would definitely get a mount for that one. Great story behind it from getting wrapped around the buoy to you not having a net. I knew you weren’t gonna lose it, but still found myself holding my breath thinking you might. lol. Great fish bro.

[@dsj8838]

Get the mount. Love to see the clean and cook on that one. Good tips on cast netting mullet.

[@ExplorerMaVu-pd9tm]

Great !! video thank for bro !🥰🥰🥰

[@aarongonzalez5066]

Mount that beast Justin 👍🏾💪🏾🎣

[@randallmiller572]

Congratulations on that amazing Tripletail!!

[@zsdfafasdasdada1368]

absolute beast nice dinner

[@salvadormenendez1554]

Awesome, it's a monster, good job.

[@mariosolis1802]

That was epic!

[@ramtufftiger74]

Engel has had the same kind of aerator for a few years. 48 hour battery life, rechargeable, magnetic pump so it’s silent, etc.

[@tnmacris]

I think frabills is still rotary, where engeles is magnetic bladders. It's crazy quiet. Glad you got something new. I remember the buzz.

[@Jeditloc]

Good sponsor. Way to beat that dead horse on how quiet it is.

[@fantomphoenix6170]

I got the XL version, it really is silent. Really a downside when you’re actually fishing and worry if it’s on or off. But great in every other aspect. Battery life and output has been great, sealed and rechargeable really is the way to go.

[@Capt_Cody]

that triple tail would make an awesome gyotaku

[@joesoko7149]

Love you videos I wade fish thanks For the great Tips

[@Saltloony]

Congrats on your new PB.

[@claudioagnello423]

I think mounting a fish is a personal preference. Would you rather have a photo enlarged of that tripletail and you or the 3-D version? Good maneuvering to get that fish unstuck!

[@webbo1021]

First getting PBs at Risky reels with Evan and the boys and now getting PBs in our backyard 😂 just found your youtube dope to see where youre at

[@JackTrathen]

Mount it bro. Hell of a fish!

[@jefflemaster2850]

That’s a chonk for sure! My pb triple tail was 23”. Never thought about having a mount made for a triple tail. Might be cool.

[@saltpassionfishing5243]

You deserved to keep that fish. Very great catch. And you release tons of fish

[@91964]

Get the mount nice catch

[@KennyRiley]

Tank!

[@adamh38]

There is a site where you can send in measurements and pic of your catch and they send you a replicated mount without having to save your catch

[@artificialslinger9730]

Yup , New Wave Taxidermy. He should have done that and released it imo.

[@christophersexton4192]

I would not get that fish mounted. That is a pretty standard size triple tail. Especially on the gulf coast.

[@mikemcgovern8719]

I had a crabber tell me he saw the biggest triple in his life at one of the buoys in the ML. He estimated it to be around 40 lbs!

[@TheCaptainkyka]

That's a big triple and the fact you caught him on artificial is even a bigger accomplishment. I'd mount him

[@2587scott]

In the words of Warren G: MOUNT UP Justin, seeing that fish come out of the water was truly epic. I never knew they got that big or bigger. Congrats 🎉🎉🎉

[@jacoblogsdon2850]

Bro. Everybody knows Warren G got that line from Young Guns.

[@mesdetails2847]

I never harvest my PB's, its almost a reward to them. I always release them and keep the middle of the road fish.

[@2587scott]

That is nice of you, lol.

[@artificialslinger9730]

That is the perfect mindset. I'm the same way. To many self centered and selfish anglers these days. All they care about is records , KZbin / social media likes and stroking their own egos.

[@bucfan23]

People will not release those fish. Used to have a lot of them in my area but they've all been fished out for years now. Must be the greatest meat on earth. Never tried it.

[@johnfkorn1265]

Crappie of the sea!

[@luischavez2595]

Frabill for the win!

[@jaofishing8952]

Good video Justin what helps me catch more mullet I throw the cast net behind them that increases the amount of on every cast. Good luck. Tell me if it helps in your area.

[@blakeyoungg]

Stud Tripletail!

[@paulgrosselfinger2323]

Mount it !!

[@coreyjohnson3704]

yep get that mounted

[@nicknlinz]

Thanks for making me spend hundreds of dollars on NLBN’s for my kids! 😜💪 Great videos man, my two boys love your channel!

[@larrycarr6545]

Heck, this 72 year old fart lives His channel

[@s2krazie]

Let them grow

[@rolandojaimot5104]

Definitely mount that fish. Brother you need a net.. Congrats

[@urbanbackyardcontainergardenin]

Congrats on the triple tail. I would take a picture and have it framed rather than mounted. Do whatever you feel comfortable with. New sub here❤

[@FreeUrMindz]

F'n Beast!

[@mikebennett6918]

Very nice battle and catch ! May I ask what rod and reel you used ? The action on the rod was perfect !

[@ryanminton5265]

Whether you keep it on not doesn’t matter much, the pause and conscious thought that plays out. Earned a sub. That and the dilemma with the little lizards soul 😂 love the content and you earned a sub.

[@bqoutdoors2334]

What rod and reel were you using for the triple tail. Great vid also🤙🏼

[@chrisangell5601]

Man, nice fish! Mount for sure. How much was the new aerator?

[@RABBIT-420]

Beast triple tail mount it

[@manojimenez7169]

Justin what glasses do you wear to fish that water? What lens color as well ?

[@luischavez2595]

A great PB, might be great eating, but my humble opinion, aesthetically not the most beautiful fish to look at. Maybe a snook,red, or a Tarpon maybe more pleasing to look at. But again, that’s just my humble opinion. Great catch and skill to get it off the rope!

[@jayjohnson9668]

Congrats brotha! I caught my PB tripletail 4 yrs ago in Apalachicola. It was 27 inches exactly. It was HUGE! I ended up cleaning and filleting it and it easily fed 6 people. I also thought about mounting it but nowadays all ya gotta do is send the measurements to a taxidermy place and they will make one that looks exactly like the fish ya caught. I have not done it yet but plan on doing it some time this year. So it was both delicious and I am also gonna have a nice mount too. Again congrats bro and nothing like catching a giant Tripletail!💪💪😎. PS I caught mine on a big frozen shrimp…..instantly!

[@artificialslinger9730]

Congratulations on the PB. Should have released it though. Kept smaller ones.

[@chaguie07171959]

Justin, when is too windy to fish with the Gheenoe? Is it 7 mph, !0 mph, 15 mph, or 20 mph? Please advise. Thank you.

[@fantomphoenix6170]

Depends on how the waves are, motor and anchoring setup. 25mph on open flats is about the limit, if you have a power pole micro setup then you’re still good though, but the wind isn’t enjoyable.

[@happydelcoure3108]

I hope you do get that fish mounted. That is a hog of a triple tail.

[@dafishmantn]

My opinion. You can’t grow big fish from average fish genetics. Already been said that I release my PB’s. A blown up pic of you and the fish and maybe a replica mount if you like a fish on the wall. As for the bait, you teach me all the time. Just watching you fight a fish shows me something about how it needs to be done. With any luck I’ll be able to remember it when it counts. 20+ years ago I watched HankParker coach a guy that had hooked a very big bass. Remember him constantly telling him to be very calm, don’t move fast, think of what you’re doing. He landed that fish that was released, a true giant. Thank you for the videos and all that you share. Now if I could just get your address and the time you’re fixing some of that tripletail I’d be a happy boy .LOL. Keep ‘em coming……Tim

[@2587scott]

Thanks for your opinion, lol.

[@artificialslinger9730]

I absolutely agree. Better to release then and get a replica mount done. Kinda sad people rather kill a big fish vs releasing it to allow it to breed more And ignore Scott. Clearly a troll starving for attention

[@jacoblogsdon2850]

Natural selection plays a role on both sides of the coin fellas... "survival of the fittest" and "only the strong survive" doesn't necessarily mean that ONLY the large and strong survive. Intelligence is another major factor in survival amongst animals who are prey. If we hand pick the large fish and large animals to live, with no other factors considered, you are implementing artificial selection and in a way, modifying the natural world. Nature has developed a very effective system. It's tough to argue with millions of years because we want to catch bigger fish.

[@artificialslinger9730]

@@jacoblogsdon2850 I will respect your opinion , but I will also respectfully disagree with you as well. Tight lines

[@jacoblogsdon2850]

@artificialslinger9730 your disagreement is invalid. Please provide a case. Or at least an opinion... scientific backing or a million years of evolution is not necessary. Looking forward to your analysis.

[@nanovlogs6188]

Where can I get that long sleeve you have on?

[@user-un2tu7nf2i]

Mount em forsure

[@1997wolverine]

Mount it!

[@SomethingFishyNGL]

Get the mount

[@user-rp7xg4yj5u]

A mount, doesn't have to be a PB, the way it happened is the story you can tell for life

[@irvin4am]

What color shrimp was this?

[@WillnMarch]

Great catch! My husband and I are fans of your channel and my husband used to have a mustache like yours, and I call it his 80s.porn mustache. But he looks so much better now without it...*hint *hint 😉

[@dbliv23]

Mount all the PB's

[@wereoutthere]

dude thats practically a barramundi what in the world!

[@artificialslinger9730]

Not really. Two completely different fish.

[@wereoutthere]

@@artificialslinger9730 i was saying the triple tail was so big its practically a barramundi. I know they are 2 different fish. Go be smart somewhere else.

[@reelpiscator4271]

Damnnn homie ain’t release his PB thats crazyyyyy🤣🤣 I couldn’t do it, if anyone to do it though it’d be you just cuz you release a lot

[@fishclips2665]

Striped mullet are more hearty than silver because they got a bigger gizzard.

[@Zenny_LOL]

almost a world reccord fish if im not mistaken!!

[@justin_menendez]

Noo i think you’re mistaken tripletail can get up to 40” I believe.

[@Zenny_LOL]

i just looked it up on google lol your probably right@@justin_menendez

[@jayjohnson9668]

For sure. No where near a WR. Pretty sure the WR is like 44 inches! 😎

[@cameronmarchand8376]

So did you mount it or eat it? (: Dude I absolutely love your content, keep on doing what you are doing!

[@Pietubing]

Call Frito-Lay put that look to work!…

[@tylerfolsom1992]

Do it

[@user-md4gl3fz4l]

Mount it pls🎉❤

[@Brfitnessjrny]

Id mount a replica

[@johnnevin7759]

I doubt you ever catch a larger triple tail, but since the dont use the fish to do the replica anymore you have time to decide. I am not sure I have seen many triple tail mounts so it would be unique. Also it would fit on your wall better than a mount of a larger pb like tarpon, snook or redfish. I would say sit on the photo and measurements and make that decision when money is less important. If a sponsor will pay for it then do it!!

[@artificialslinger9730]

If more people would release fish vs keeping you would be shocked how many pbs , state records and world records would happen.

[@CannonSchlegel]

When are you bring back murder mullet

[@ARCENAULT]

Mount it like a &_+$-_:'; in Las Vegas! 🎉

[@user-ze8nn5fm3f]

Take measurements send to king sailfish mounts congratulations

[@artificialslinger9730]

Or New Wave Taxidermy

[@jeffmatteo2854]

Cuz go get ice . Take that Gheenoe to shore buy ice and head back out. Hot dead fish is a no no.

[@charlestarter7581]

I would release it. That way I can catch that TOAD and put it on my wall!! Love your channel…get that thing mounted !!!!

[@artificialslinger9730]

Don't have to keep fish to mount them anymore. Take measurements of the length and girth , take a photo and send to a Taxidermy and they can make you a replica mount. This way those fish can be released to continue to breed

[@charlestarter7581]

I repent! You are absolutely correct. No need to kill a fish you’re not going to eat. Those giants deserve our respect and yes, LET THEM BREED!! 🎣

[@artificialslinger9730]

Kinda disappointed on you with that triple tail . A fish that big deserved to be released. You could have easily measured the length ( which you did ) the girth and got a photo of it ( which you done ) and had a perfectly good replica mount done , then kept the smller triple tail. That would have been a win win all around. Now that bigger fish is gone and one less breeder fish gone. So congrats on that and not helping with conservation. Also for mounts New Wave Taxidermy does an amazing job for replica nounts Also to answer your question from your video " will I ever catch a bigger triple tail in this boat in this inshore setting ". No , no you will not because you and other guys keep the breeder fish.

[@brianlyons1903]

Justin or group, how long will 8 to 12 mullet stay alive in a 5 gall bucket with an aerator bubbler??

[@justin_menendez]

If you replace the water every couple hours and its not too hot outside they should last all day. Just continue to change the water so it stays cool and clean.

[@brianlyons1903]

@justin_menendez Thank you bud!!

[@notme6323]

Damn wish you didn't post these triple tail videos. Been a bit of a secret in our area, especially in the river.

[@user-vf5zw3cm7l]

Mount it!
