Captin Matt is the Man!!

[@Tristan1990.]

That was really awesome!

[@derail6996]

I’m from north Florida but living in the Tampa Bay Area now and up where I’m from catching gator trout was every fishing trip!!! Down here I’m lucky to catch a couple a year!!!!

[@nicholaslovett6248]

Sadly, this is the same deal with the Indian River Lagoon. The seagrass died off and they moved out

[@jordangrabski2528]

I fish the Tampa Bay area as well and agree. All we can do is lead in conservation efforts and do our best to educate other anglers.

Is palm harbor not good anymore? I lived there as a kid and it was gator trout every cast at some of the spoil islands

[@jimelmore9728]

Love Matts reaction to the catch. Fist pumping from the platform..

[@juliomoisa1172]

Great video C.A!

[@Heartgator]

Incredible! Where was this shot? ICW? Guana?

[@flatsclasscharters]

Guana and nearby

[@jefflee6459]

I love the numbers we have in Louisiana, but If we could get just a few of those Gator trout. Well I guess we can't have everything.

[@imurtroll5242]

I'm big into conservation, pretty much CPR everything. I wish everyone would release over 20..

[@robertgericke2784]

Yeah release everything over 20

[@imurtroll5242]

I'm a redfish guy but I'll take any trout lessons I can get

[@rodrodgers3206]

Sorry for the typos if you wanted a Corky...

[@johnkarges8829]

I see a lot of conflicting take on knots for the Corky Original and the Fat Boy, which knot did you use in this video, a clinch or small loop knot?

[@johnkarges8829]

Or the knot this time on the Softdine?

[@rodrodgers3206]

I'm from the Clear Lake Texas area not remember back in the day if you wanted a court date you had to call Paul and go by his house. Now look at them

[@mikemcgovern8719]

I do all I can to protect them, I release all in the water and do not boat themand please release ALL trout no matter the size.

[@jefflee6459]

If you would have a Popping Cork you might have done better :)
