Fishing in Miami - 3 locations in Miami - MONSTER fish in a THUNDERSTORM | The Fish Locker

Fishing from the shore near our holiday property in Marathon in the Florida Keys. Using the skills and lessons I had learned in previous fishing sessions and using the baits I had caught fishing from The Florida Keys Bridges I catch some incredible sharks and fish. I also managed to catch, tag and release a lovely Nurse shark. The tags I use are to help NOAA track shark populations, growth rates and migration routes. All important clues for building a better understanding of these incredible creatures.
Here are links to some of the fishing tackle I used in this video. I hope it helps.

That first fish you caught is called a cow fish, and is related to boxfish, puffer fish, and trigger fish.

[@TheFishLocker]

Thanks. 👍🏻🎣🐟

[@SandraNelson063]

Thank you. I was stumped. Hadn't a clue.

[@GRANMotherH3N]

My dad used to have horned box fish in his aquarium.

[@VeganAJohnH]

Nice shark. It's good of you to tag & record the species. It's good to see a respectable angler who only takes what he needs & helps with the conservation of the species 👍♥️.

[@TheFishLocker]

I am simply doing what I feel is right. 💙🎣🦈

[@johnlord8337]

A good option I have always held - when fishing and catching. When you return a fish to the water, then get them a bait meal down their gullet - for their pain and travail - which is really what they wanted in the first place - a good meal. They then swim away with a full stomach - and metabolize that during their pain and wound recovery. This makes them (and our Pacific NW sturgeon and trout ) that much more catchable in the future when they grow up.

[@nancys2212]

Good to know, thanks for the info.

[@TheFishLocker]

That sounds a good and fair practice John. 👍🏻🎣

[@pdrmarcmarcum6015]

I caught a rainbow trout with 3 hooks in its mouth.. It was undersize , and I was at least the 4th person to catch it.. I removed the hooks , threw it back & moved down stream. 10 minutes later I caught it Again ! I think this fish knew it would get a meal even if he got caught... Craziest thing Ever.

[@Chgtuber]

Had to work so hard just to get fishing, and you did it! What a light show! You captured more than fish 😉

[@TheFishLocker]

Really glad I put in the extra effort as I was definitely rewarded with that monster at the end. 😊👍🏻

[@mango8918]

I haven't finished the video yet but I'm so happy that you've come to our shores to vacation and fish. It distresses me however, that we have gained a reputation for being an unsafe place to visit. I wish you didn't feel that way, but I understand your feelings. Unfortunately, our reputation around the world has been tarnished because of the gun violence that is reported with so much sensationalism. Your comments about being fearful of your daughter and wife walking around at night made me sad. Also, the irrational statement by the Fish and Wildlife officer that you might be injured on the small "pier" that you were fishing from. Your concern that he had a gun also made me angry and sad that you were made to feel that way. I wish you and your family well and despite it all, hope your visit was an enjoyable one. By the way, you have one of the most enjoyable channels on KZbin!

[@TheFishLocker]

It wasn’t by reputation, the first day walking down the street I realised what the place was like. I have travelled to and served in some pretty bad places and miamis south beach has the potential to be violent and dangerous to women on their own. It didn’t stop us enjoying our time there. We just behaved accordingly.

[@JonFrumTheFirst]

@@TheFishLocker Good job. I'd be scared to death in a pasture full of cattle - I'd have no way of knowing how to read them, and no way to know how to stay out of danger. People are no different - you can get into trouble is you're in the wrong place at the wrong time. On the other hand, I live a few hundred yards from a big city, and I feel perfectly safe here. Most trouble is local, but outsiders have to be on the safe side.

[@chickenfishhybrid44]

While much worse with gun violence than most places, the way it's portrayed and the way people perceive it is rarely in line with reality. Being worried about random gun violence in the US is about as rational as worrying about being struck by lightning.

Greetings from Ocala Florida. That's a great spot to fish. A few years ago I was fishing there on that jetty and had my tackle box open on the rocks. I was fighting a barracuda and tripped over my tackle box and all my tackle and lures went deep between the rocks. Completely unreachable lol.

Fishing isn't more regulated than owning a firearm in Florida, or any other State for that matter. You don't have to pass a federal background check to buy a fishing license in Florida. You do to own a firearm. You can have a felony or a domestic violence conviction on your record and still fish legally, but you cannot legally even posses, much less own, a firearm . Also, for what its worth, fishing off a pier isn't a right specifically named in the U.S. Constitution.
