[@TheNorthFloridaAngler]

Nice meeting you too Lewis! Congrats on catching your PB.

[@brandonwilliams1720]

This is awesome. I've been catching a bunch of shiners the past few days to bring to Rodman Saturday. Can't wait

[@TheNorthFloridaAngler]

Thanks Brandon and thank you so much for watching! Hope you did good Sat.

[@Lsmoe]

Nice Phatty's Captain !! You always kill it with those shiners. The I just caught a Monster Bass laugh cracks me up. Gonna give you a call about getting out for my Birthday in March !! God Bless and Be safe !

[@TheNorthFloridaAngler]

Thanks Ellis! As for fishing in March I'm all ready booked up! But I still have some openings in April! I can be reached at [phone] and leave a message! May take me several days to get back to you! Super busy!

[@Batheify]

You know ? it is virtual, but I feel like I go fishing with you. Beautiful video. Awesaome fish, and I enjoy your catch as much as you do !

[@TheNorthFloridaAngler]

Thanks Chadd! Comments like yours makes all the hard work I put into these videos seem worth it! Thank you so much for your support!

[@AtypicalOutdoors]

All those fish were super chunky! I love those Dark colored Bass!

[@TheNorthFloridaAngler]

Yep they are Eric! Our typical prespawn bass.

[@4x4BMW]

That's 20 minutes from me . I haven't tried this method but I think we are gonna give that a shot . I've flung my share of lures there with decent results ... But not an 11 lb Nice catch

[@takiniteasy1001]

I just bought a boat last week and I'm taking my son out to Rodman for the first time off a friends advice. I'm so glad I checked KZbin and found your channel. Subscribe right away. Not sure if I missed it, I heard you say use heavy tackle, but can you tell me the line size and rod type you like best for this method? Thank you and the video is great. Can't wait to see more.

[@NorthFloridaSaltwaterFishing]

Dang buddy. I keep saying it but you have a talent for catching BIG fish. I don't do much fresh water fishing but my dad is a big bass fisherman. He literally just got a tv capable of getting KZbin. He had never used it before. He has only three channels he subscribed to... Mine of course...lol, Hickock 45 (he also loves his guns), and The North Florida Angler! He really enjoys your channel. Keep those great videos coming. Tight Lines my friend 👍

[@TheNorthFloridaAngler]

Thanks NFSF! I'm glad your dad is enjoying the show!

[@LetsGoFishingSfla]

I bet ya Bill Dance is Slapping the hell out of his producers right now!! Those are monster bass for real!!

[@TheNorthFloridaAngler]

Lol! I don't know about that Icy! But thanks for the kind words man!

[@steveknasko8905]

Awesome Video. I stopped by the boat ramp on my way back to Illinois. Can't wait to give it a try. What time of year was that video made?

[@liveyourtruth88]

Amazing video!!! Where did you get those big shiners!?

[@bigfishbrau]

jealous as always CC! nice. . i heard that one lake we fish got fished out with someone catching a bunch of big ones and stocking their pond?? any truth to that one? if so, that sux!!

[@TheNorthFloridaAngler]

Yep you heard right! You can still catch a big one in there once in a while but it's not like it was!

[@willmallory9085]

Excellent video Brother

[@TheNorthFloridaAngler]

Thanks Will and thank you so much for your support!

[@willmallory9085]

@@TheNorthFloridaAngler shoot ch'yeah!

[@Xray4858]

How much do you charge to guide a bass fishing trip?

[@willmallory9085]

Excellent question!

[@TheNorthFloridaAngler]

I charge 500.00 a day for one or two fishermen plus the cost of wild shiners.

[@Xray4858]

@@TheNorthFloridaAngler hi thanks for your response. One more question if you do not mind sharing. Do you cast net your shiners from the areas you fish? Matching the larger size roach shiners.

[@TheNorthFloridaAngler]

@@Xray4858 No I catch them where ever I can get them!

[@paynecharlie]

Really enjoyed your video but I was wondering if you ever hook these fish deep. They run for so long before you set the hook. Noticed you were using J hooks. Ever try circle hooks?

[@TheNorthFloridaAngler]

Sometimes! But I've found out if you leave the hook in and the fish isn't bleeding too bad they have about a 70 % survival rate. That's why I use only bronze hooks. In a few weeks the bass'es digestive system will cause these hooks to crumble down to nothing where they will be spit out or passed. I've caught many of these bass multiple times months later and they seem to be doing well! As for the circle hooks I've experimented with them and find they don't hook the bass quite as well and they will still swallow them sometimes!

[@paynecharlie]

@@TheNorthFloridaAngler Thank you so much for your reply

[@HOOKEMINTHEMOUTHKAYAKFISHING]

11.1 ! A monster Bass all day and night! Shoot Yeah!

[@TheNorthFloridaAngler]

You know it Charles! I hook em in the mouth!!!

[@iantaylor20]

I’m just curious where you get your shiners . Do you buy them or catch them?

[@PickUpTheCry]

Great bassin' day CC! I just got a Tracker Pro 160 and want to start fishing Rodman. Don't know any of the logistics, so what ramp did you use to put in?

[@TheNorthFloridaAngler]

Thank you and congratulations on your new boat! As to your question I put in at Kenwood and Orange Springs boat ramps!

[@frankiedowns9272]

Do you guide any for bass?

[@nicolewillmert8088]

Where do you get your shiners from if you don’t mind me asking?

[@brianbickhaus9081]

What brand of trolling motor is that? Have you had it long? How would you rate it?

[@TheNorthFloridaAngler]

It's a Min Kota Terrova spot lock trolling motor. I've had it for about a year and a half now and I haven't been super happy with it! It works great when its running but have had a lot of problems with it! Fuses keep burning out on it and wires will short out! Also the batteries start to go dead pretty quick when you use it in heavy current!

[@hazlett1032]

This is amazing

[@TheNorthFloridaAngler]

Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@gettintothapoint9769]

Hey C.C. How can I get in touch with Howard. I need some Shiners. Another awesome video captain!!! Tight Lines…….
