Fishing a 7 MILE Bridge in the Florida Keys! (Catch and Cook)

[@FirstStateFishing]

Where should we fish next? 🤔🎣 What should we fish for? The water here in the Keys.. SHEESH

[@randomastronaut8687]

I love your saltwater vids, especially at the spot u were in lmao

[@bobdutchie8515]

Whens the next catch and cook creeks fishing?

[@cftacoznbeerz]

Bro, you should hit up @AnglerUpTv and possibly do a collab. Bro is legit and knows some good spots all around Florida.

[@mightyemacstarz9193]

It would be cool if you fished in a kayak along the 7 mile bridge

[@gabefuller5469]

Come to Asheville, NC

[@irishrebel1976]

Living dangerously leaving your pliers on the ledge. 😂

[@pwosbo]

9:24 it is a black grouper my brother caught a keeper it has to be 24 inches

[@hectorlicea9820]

First, love your videos man

[@fishinnchillin4876]

You should do some underwater stuff, or out of your comfort zone i would love to see how that plays out

[@Baseball4Life-]

Yeahhhh solo alligator hunting with just a bait knife would be pretty cool.

[@TheEricInman]

@@Baseball4Life- lol

[@runntum]

Grouper, possibly THE tastiest fish

[@khary9]

Fish the shadows bro...most of the bigger fish are hiding in the shadows near the pillars of those bridges. And if you can see the fish, the fish can see you too, so that will effect your strike rate too.

[@zetawolfgang5106]

If you haven’t, go eat at Burdines on Marathon.

[@davidwhite8428]

Brother I fish this bridge all the time with my boat and I catch hog fish and snapper and grouper and everything. My little secret to you is use a smaller bass hook because these fish are so smart on a circle hook even at a one odd They will pick it off every time. Small hook is the trick.

[@mossig]

You can fish on the same bridge. I used to fish there and caught all kinds of fish but, Tarpon fishing was the most fun. First you do it at night with clear skies and some moon light. You are going to need some heavy fishing equipment. I you need a big old grappling hook and a long rope. Also if you are way out on the bridge you will need some kind of net or long pole with a detachable hook to land the fish. It's a long walk to the end of the bridge with a big fish on the tow. The Technic is as follows. You walking troll the upside of the bridge current. The fish will be standing under the bridge with their heads against the current. You can catch fish on the down side but it's much harder. After you hook a fish you have throw the gear into the water with the rope attached of course. Hold on to the rope and slowly release until the gear is visible on the other side of the bridge. Your mate will have to lower the grappling hook in the light from the head mounted flashlight and catch the gear and pull it up. Never let go of the rope until your buddy has it in his hands. Now the fight can start. If the current is strong it will be a difficult to avoid the other bridge pillars and it's better to fish when the current goes the other way. You can use bait or lures. The tricky part is to get it past the pillars without getting snagged. When a pillar is coming wind up and jump the bait with a jerk so it flies in the air a bit. Then you just let the bait go in a bit under the next bridge gap. Don't try do do this trolling without a grappling hook system because you are not going to get even a small 10 pounder up.good luck

[@fatseagull8916]

I love fishing in Florida

[@Ch3esydoodle]

Let's go

[@carlgruver695]

Two things that will help when fishing the keys increase your weight to hook to atleast 4ft and use small hooks with squid or glass minor you will get a better variety

[@Firecards52]

Which size hooks do you recommend?

[@nickbaer6584]

That grouper was a Gag Grouper, 24" here in Florida.

[@Atlantic.digital]

Baby black grouper

[@RandomChannel-eg3wx]

Definitely not a gag, that’s a black

[@thekernal0318]

Man being from Maryland I still remember all the different fish and color of the water in Tampa when we went a few years ago. Love the videos

[@staceygiometti9680]

Beautiful Water I Love Seeing The Fish Swimming Below The Bridge.😊

[@danielserna1582]

On top!!!!!

[@SUPAtheHUMMINGBIRD]

That seems like a Nassau Grouper, which are illegal to keep in Florida

[@longislandfishing1970]

I live in the northeast and so envious your still fishing. March 1st is opening black fish season in NY. Brrrrrrrr

[@tw8327]

Damn I’m so happy you are getting more famous! I remember thinking like this guys one of the only genuine fishing KZbinrs on he will make it big time, Here you are❤

[@CROWNVIKSLOTS]

FIRE BROTHER !!

[@randomastronaut8687]

im finally early for once :), love your vids!

[@blakemorrison6823]

sorry to bug but what is the blue and white rod called and where did you get it?

[@grimee6]

Your the most relaxing yt fisherman keep it up bratha love your channel! Bring back the chip fried fish

[@bradensalcetti2]

Where on the 7 Mile bridge were you? Just want to know because I’m going to the Florida keys for a fishing trip in June. Thanks!

[@marcok]

Cool video. Too sad i'll never be able go experience that :(

[@NorthmassRails]

Awesome! Reminds me of when I catch croaker in Virginia! Keep up the Good Content!

[@mred2099]

I think thatvwas a black grouper. Those smaller fish are going to rip your shrimp apart add a small piece of fishbites to your hook. Try some shrimp scented procure on the plastic shrimp to add a littlescent to the action.

[@Baseball4Life-]

That’s what I’m saying he gets some shrimp procure he would see the difference big time

[@EverythingNow_]

That new fish is some sort of coral trout

[@Get_Dogged21]

Since your fishing Florida with snook and lots of structure I would make the leader like 1.5-2 feet

[@jacobteller4809]

That looked like a baby yellowfin grouper!

[@antoniolopez-cf5zt]

Love the video! The water is so beautiful, and that grouper was really pretty!

[@waynewade6723]

Yo Mike that was a black grouper delicioso!!!

[@fishinglover5439]

You should charter fish in the keys

[@coolmn1]

9:29 I don’t saltwater fish much but I think that might be a bumblebee grouper

[@FishingwithSeven]

It's a gag grouper

[@JimStarr-gu9ue]

Anyone in 2024

[@miamiwax5504]

All the bridges are alot more fun on the kayak especially when the weather is nice and water ia clear. I would rather fish from the bridge when its a little windy.

[@clauzellblackshear2057]

Florida is beautiful hands down I'm blessed and honored to have roots from there. My father was a Florida native and he loved everything about it and I see why. Florida you have my respect.

[@mitchellwest174]

Love your videos

[@the.boy.chase.5428]

What pound braid is on your blue lews combo?

[@jzjzjzj]

really need a video of the kayaking in a place like this

[@fishfinder4]

Gotta get into some deeper water out on the bridge.. shallow water equals small fish.. fish out into the shadows next to the bridge piling. I would've used that grunt on a live line, let it sit out there... Good video though..

[@bobkirk942]

Chum bag first !!! From the parking lot to the bridge third blue garage can fish there!!!

[@fishingwithnathan09]

What rod and reel do you use?

[@Dekker.Maloni9999]

What pliers are those?

[@jonah6951]

Where do you get your combo at

[@jasonmerlino3815]

Blue and white rod set up is dope what is it

[@Rowan.C700]

Another awesome video,great job once again, also loving the new intro edits

[@MxTrent2]

Love the videos! btw that grouper was a scamp grouper

[@damianlabon265]

Looked more like a black grouper

[@maseberg1220]

I got to that bridge and fish a lot I caught a permit from there and it was massive

[@normankatrobos8088]

Your just feeding the small ones 🤣

[@fishingwithmikey361]

Nice vid boss🤙🏾 keep up the good work. That place looks amazing!! What kind of go pro do you use?

[@bigdadgo]

That was a Black grouper😂 Also, there have been reports of ciguatera poisoning from consumption of the blue striped grunt - be careful!

[@krystianfaulkner9343]

I’ve fished it and it was great

[@danielserna1582]

First state

[@TidewaterFishing]

The grouper is a Gag grouper

[@jordandavis5354]

Anyone know the name of the pliers he’s using? 1:09

[@patrickadams9420]

You need to go out on a charter or boat in tha keys

[@adamhonore3790]

You Should try a popping cork!

[@maxderps2823]

Love me some sea cows 🤣

[@andrewbanks608]

Omg man, I wish I was u bruda.

[@johnpena4864]

You should take out the bike and ride down the bridge and fish different areas

[@spartona035]

Please do more videos like this in the keys

[@courtneychastain8922]

Fish in Crystal River Florida its a great place.But love your vids keep it up.

[@FMHOutdoors]

bro i am tying some saltwater flys right now!!

[@TheRealFraen]

i live in florida and ive never been to the keys. i really want to tho

[@jamesmay3433]

i think you need to add more line to your reel

[@petervang5384]

That bridge looks shallow isnt it?

[@NCTimbo]

💪🎣🔥

[@NeuroSpicyFishing]

You and Fishaholic need to collab on the 7mile bridge

[@rodrigorodriguez3332]

What’s the setup ?

[@RapidRepz]

Fish ❌ dude ✅

[@A.CFishingextreme]

I have the same reel with the fake shrimp

[@xTGRxREAPER]

When that fish hits the water from that height 💥☠️

[@hadenpettijohn4705]

Use a little lighter weight and leader. It will make a huge difference.

[@emmanuelgonzalez9741]

You should go fish for Goliath groupers maybe even sharks!

[@zombiebitefishing]

That water is incredible dude! Love that shrimp lure, what brand is that?

[@reecekenning7154]

Voodoo

[@zombiebitefishing]

@@reecekenning7154 thanks man!

[@chmgaming3898]

You missed a shark swim past a 8:14

[@PBODYMLI]

I’ve been watching your videos for a long time now, and love what you do! But I’ve always wondered why you don’t talk much about what rods you have with you as I’d imagine space is limited on an RV, gear you recommend or highly favor, bag set up, etc. Just some ideas… I’ve learned so much and I Thank You!

[@FirstStateFishing]

I’ll definitely have to talk about it in the future! Thanks for the recommendation!

[@allanbieler4264]

To your question, that was this juvenile black grouper

[@RCMAN23]

Next time cast out under the drive bridge at the pylons. Thats where the bigger fish are. They run back and forth between pylons. Also this spot is bad because of how shallow it is. U should be fishing if u can see the bottom that clear because of depth.

[@ratedredneck96]

I believe that was a bumblebee grouper but not 100%

[@OnemorecastG]

cast under the bridge that cars are on, You’ll have a higher chance of catching bigger snapper, grouper, & things of that nature. You dropping it straight down is just going to catch dinks.

[@Bass59]

If there was a way for you to get clams and a couple of fiddler crabs or maybe blue crabs stick that on your book give them something different you know it don't have to be always shrimp shrimp shrimp shrimp cuz I know when I was fishing to Pierson Florida attack you with the face shop to selling large shrimp try something different like clam shop clam you might do a lot better than the shrimp something different for them you know

[@rodrigorodriguez3332]

Fishing rod and reel name?

[@bikerpbl]

Early gang

[@CrunkyOMan83]

can " I " get a video where you get more than one bite of fish =P

[@SaltyRips]

Poor fish homie only takes 1 bite😂

[@cudi503]

ALWAYS ON POINT 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Bass59]

If there was a way I can send you a picture of me on a boat in Tampa Florida I can show you the adult gag grouper it was over 10 lb

[@robertlosasso4222]

Are you going to catch bait or fish ?

[@baypounder]

Great video man but i cringe at the nearly empty spool on the sienna lol! You'll be able to free spool line and cast a lot easier if it's filled. Stoked for the next upload.

[@nicg1697]

Watch some videos of people fishing the keys and catching fish and try to soak up knowledge and I promise you’ll catch more fish. ur using a circle hook and setting the hook , and u should be u using a oshaunessy style hook. u can’t just drop straight down and expect to catch fish u gotta look around for them and fish structure and stuff

[@andrewwisniewski2753]

Black grouper

[@stardavis3795]

Goliath Grouper

[@jacksonboos7465]

Hey your one of my favorite fishing KZbinrs and I just wanted to say keep up the good work

[@Bass59]

The grouper you caught was a baby gag grouper

[@jade-si3iv]

That was a black grouper.

[@standardfn]

rock cod

[@Nikeair453]

i want to see bigger fish lol

[@Baseball4Life-]

You don’t get any bites due to you not using scent buy a shrimp scent bottle and you’ll see the difference big time
