Epic Bite and Fight Deep Dropping This Bait! Catch, Clean, Cook Grouper

Thanks you all so much for watching! This was a video I filmed from a fun day out on the water with my buddies ‪@RafaeldeOliveira‬ and Wellington. Luckily it was calm enough offshore that I could deep drop baits down to 400ft of water catch some Almaco Jacks, and Amberjacks. Then we moved inshore and got on some grouper action but didn't land many and saw a juvenile tiger shark. I hope you all enjoyed!!

Offshore bottom fishing is the best, you never know what your ganna get, it could be anything from a giant mangrove snapper to a Goliath grouper. Great stuff, nice video.

[@FishAholicTV]

Yeah I do enjoy it a lot!!! Thanks so much for watching and glad you enjoyed!!

[@pesca_balneario]

My God, what a sensational fishery, a hug from Brazil, this fish looks wonderful. Abraços 🍷🗿

[@FishAholicTV]

hahaha yeah it is really amazing! Glad you enjoyed!! Tight Lines!

[@davidwilliams1805]

Outstanding! Thanks for sharing another great adventure and that meal made me some kind of hungry! It looked excellent! Keep up the great work my friend!

[@FisherFamilyAdventures]

dude i love fighting those big jacks, such a treat

[@FishAholicTV]

yeah me as well they are super fun!!!

[@RafaeldeOliveira]

Great video bro!!! That surprise tiger shark was awesome!!! Make sure to be on time next time or I won't put you on the grunt bite anymore hahaha

[@FishAholicTV]

hahahaha we just have to agree on a time but don't tell me you plan to get there 30 min later. Then I'll be on time

[@MrRockFish]

A little tip for jigging is multicolored braid! It’ll save you from getting snagged in the bottom.

[@2SJOLI]

Waw tangkapan yg bagus kawan,,,saya suka❤️

[@Lethal210]

Oh my that looked so good, have never been to Florida (from toronto) but want to go badly for the fish, and now to eat some!

[@FishAholicTV]

You definitely should try and make a trip down. A lot of tasty fish here.Thanks for watching!!

[@tresdoobies6581]

I enjoyed your video. Just a quick tip... Use a bait dehooker and your bait will stay lively much longer than when you handle them like that.

[@FishAholicTV]

Sounds good. I have one on my boat but just didn't bring it. Tight Lines! I hope you are catching!

[@surfingfireman]

The markings on young tiger sharks are so vibrant and gorgeous!

[@FishAholicTV]

yeah it was really cool to see one up close like that! I could see it had a already a nice set of shiny teeth haha

[@luvsteel]

You must go out oneday and try to catch codas and make a video about it

[@darinscheideler]

No freshly squeezed lime juice?

nice lil grouper sandwich

The fishing results are immediately cooked 👍💯🙏🙏

[@jaystrobel7862]

Muhun are tasty

[@texoutlaw1732]

Some baby tigers grow into giant tigers that are fun to catch.

[@FishAholicTV]

haha idk I don' t smoke. But for anyone who is really hungry it'll do the job. Tight Lines and thanks for watching!

[@miketorre16]

good CCC man!!!

[@AprilRose-x7d]

Fish on.......

[@erico5865]

that just might be a bit of a stoner wrap.....

[@FishAholicTV]

haha Idk, I don't smoke. But if your hungry this wrap hits the spot

[@davidaltman92]

Nice catch ! , between December and February if you want to catch the hybrids in Okeechobee let me know 👍 keep up the great work

[@KMondy]

Yeah, you need that device to release fish at depth.

[@FishAholicTV]

I have the devices. AJ's and Almaco's typically don't need it. If the fish floated bully up then I would use the vent I had on my belt. We also had the descending device.

[@dabonemarrow5337]

I luv the luxury paper plate!! Great design!! Fine crystal!! Godspeed brother

[@FishAholicTV]

haha yeah when it's just me I keep it simple

[@HalfShellOutdoors]

Good energy with those dudes. Looks fun as hell

[@moniegardner6307]

Another awesome video. Wish you caught yourself so tunas or some big groupers eat off for couple day. Baby tiger shark was cool. Tight lines.

[@FishAholicTV]

thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed!

Hahaha I love to eat snapper

[@atuuschaaw]

Y'all had a beautiful day on the water, and some great fish...and you've managed to make me fish hungry once again. 😉

[@FishAholicTV]

Yeah it was a great time out there!!

[@RikkiTikkiTavi290]

Those skipjack, or thornbelly as you were calling them, aren't bad baits because they don't get bit but because the venomous spines really hurt if they get you. Not dangerous or anything but if you've ever gotten spined by them you know. Really bad stinging for awhile and even swelling sometime.

[@FishAholicTV]

Hmmm I've definitely got poked by a couple of them by now but I haven't had any reaction to it. Maybe it depends on how allergic you are to it...?

[@RikkiTikkiTavi290]

@@FishAholicTV Oh thats weird. Yea must be different reactions for different people. I might have slightly exaggerated the effects but I have had a bad reaction multiple times.

[@jonahKaltenbach]

what does cutting the head and tail off the bait do? what purpose does it serve?

[@FishAholicTV]

Tbh I I'm not sure but I've tested it and it seems sometimes the fish prefer when it is cut like that. Maybe it gives off more scent and encourages the fish to eat it more. Time on the water taught me that trick. If only we could ask the grouper and snapper the secret would be revealed haha. Tight Lines till next time!

[@stevenrodgers2811]

How big is that boat? Is it a parker?

[@davidperez-wf9td]

Probably a personal question but would you ever make a video of all of your setups? Thank you!

[@FishAholicTV]

I could. Is there a particular type of fishing you more interested in? Offshore or Inshore?

[@davidperez-wf9td]

[@justmetrent6812]

Love all your videos, you inspire me a lot keep it up

[@FishAholicTV]

Thanks so much and really glad to hear! I hope you are catching them!!

[@josephtrapanese3310]

Nice boat!

[@FishAholicTV]

Yeah it is a really nice boat.

[@johnbrooker6134]

I hope you learned from this that 20ft leaders are unnecessary for catching mutton snapper

[@user-tt7xi2oq2o]

Boo this man

[@FishAholicTV]

At times yes it doesn’t matter. But I’ve been that guy catching them while others next to me aren’t on days when they are line shy. I get back to the ramp and guys ask “what were you doing man?” I tell them the bait. They say “we were using the same”. Then I ask “how long were your leaders?” And they say “long man like 10ft”. I say “ahhh I was using 30lb 30ft leaders”. When I first moved down here I was like that. Watching guys next to me slay while I caught barely anything. I thought 10 or 15ft leaders were plenty long enough. Until my neighbor clued me in on the line shyness of mutton snapper.

[@dlmsarge8329]

@@FishAholicTV I love this reply! Goes to show you that conventional wisdom doesn't always pay off and that trying some variations can be the ticket to success!

[@FishAholicTV]

Glad you liked it! Sometimes fish are easy to catch and sometimes you have to be ready try every trick in the book to get a bite.@@dlmsarge8329
