Very nice to see people helping each other with a catch. Years ago 1 mile or so from you we were watching 2 people fighting a big fish. Dropped a buddy GR to help them in their small boat. They thought it was a shark. They had no clue but it was a big cobia. They went home with a very nice fish due to GRs honesty. Thanks Bushi

[@FishOnChannel]

It's all about having fun and helping each appreciate you watching Merry Christmas.

[@fooballyou]

You EARNED that fish my friend. Way to work through the obstacles and land him against the odds. Did I hear you say that bait was tilapia? I didn't know they would survive in saltwater. So now that it's been a few days, have you eaten any of the fish? I was wondering if the quality of the fillet would not be as good as a smaller one.

[@FishOnChannel]

Thank you I needed them right there so I guess they do get on saltwater

[@drewgia4673]
