Sight fishing for Redfish could be the ultimate challenge for the salt water fly angler. I absolutely love it and wish I could get out more often. You got me motivated Ben. Thanks for the entertainment!

[@patches152]

Trout setting to butthook a shark is the biggest flex of 2020

[@LiterallyOverTheHillAdventures]

Love chasing redfish, nice to see your hands shaking at times. Tells me it still thrills you. Nice to see a trout fisherman use a right hand crank on their saltwater reels.

[@garyd49]

Now I'll make it through the week. Keep being HUGE! We all need it.

[@MyPancho1]

Huge props for my Monday Morning HFF Vid!!

[@prestonbonoffski2578]

Just got a huge fly fisherman knot needle ad while watching a huge fly fisherman video. Now that’s marketing.

[@taddorton9631]

Catching b-roll of fish swimming while locating fish with a drone! Genius!!!

[@gregbaier9887]

As always, you've made my Monday morning start off right . . . . . Until I look outside at the snow we just got in NH . . . . and now you've ruined my day Ben, hahaha. Stay Huge brotha !

[@alinaaseh3679]

Trout like cold water my friend, buy an ice auger for the real cold days

[@theoutdoordad7395]

Sick cast!

[@coltonmclaren7106]

"Hey im Ben , Im a huge failure " Hahaha

[@tbutero8059]

Happy huge fly fisherman day!

[@jeffmcbane3638]

Love it!...nice to see someone with a ton of experience make the same silly mistakes i make when fly fishin these red devils! Love your work Ben! Thanks

[@dennisbrock5234]

Big or small, love them all! 😂 Trout set shark even in the belly is still pretty gnarly!🤙🏼

[@FishiganMilligan]

My stomping ground 🙌🏼 Best place for those big reds in my opinion!

[@WesternWild509]

Also, love the Sail Cat decal on ol' Dude's boat. Can't tell you how many times I've gotten slimed in NW Florida. Might as well show them some respek.

[@nativedumbass]

Awesome video! Just one thing, you gotta swap that Lone Star Light for regular Lone Star. Lol tight lines, or whatever you whippy boys say. 🤙

[@WesternWild509]

The right handed casting and reeling thing is a trip for me dude. I think I'd snap rods if i tried to fight a fish with my left hand. Pretty Huge maann

[@goodogear1594]

Oh that was huge fun watch😀

[@elbombero420]

Justin is cracked at fly fishing my guy

[@Mike-ck6yk]

Huge failure, priceless... thanks for another adventure. Looks really fun.

[@Charlie_nystrom]

Been waiting for this video

[@vadimgavrilov5093]

love yo vids man

[@backbonz]

Mississippi in the house! My home state. We’re y’all actually fishing in MS, or LA? Rare to see a MS redfish video...

[@smr9981]

Sweet vid, but nobody come to Mississippi. Louisiana has so many more redfish and New Orleans. Go there.

[@zacheryzietlow2848]

Nice video, you won't be catching bone fish with those casts but really nice job nevertheless. Very good sight fishing.

[@peteyarrington582]

After all your recent travels, maybe time to do some tying videos! Would love to see some more. Any HFF originals besides the Goat Roper?

[@alinaaseh3679]

Bro you must live on top of Mt. Elbert because we haven't seen snow in my neck of CO since October

[@medic9044]

Next time you're on the MS coast, I'll buy you a beer if you give me some tips!

[@tinoyb9294]

Sling that sharkskin line!

[@RoadandReel]

Favorite part of the video was that fish call you did at 8:52 and 13:40 and 19:51 and 23:10 and 26:45

[@jasonkozlosky3947]

So i was watching MadRiver outfitters and Kelly Galloup fishing for redfish and they kept saying to keep the rod tip in the water while stripping and whenever you are fighting a big fish to never bring the rod tip above your head.... Your opinion on that?

[@jonstevens9931]

What are you fishing with? Is that a 12 foot 2x leader on a 9 weight?

[@vibratingstring]

One slly q: are you using that "sharkskin" sci anglers tropical line? I had it and not only was it noisy like that, it also tore up my fingers.

[@michaelwoolley2486]

love your "not trout" fly box.

[@theoutdoordad7395]

Nice video, looks like an amazing trip! Helios 3D or F?

[@jonathancraft1034]

3D, 8wt I think

[@goose1586]

yay

[@TroutHuntingNZ]

I gotta do this someday

[@HugeFlyFisherman]

I’m fairly sure we can make that happen when all of this bullshit is over. We’ll have to do some trout fishing too, though. I wanna see you catch some small ones.

[@williamdavis8474]

Hey Ben, might be a stupid question, but what knots do you use when fishing salt? I suck at fly fishing 🤷‍♂️

[@HugeFlyFisherman]

Blood knots and loop knots, mostly.

[@mikekuczynski1552]

You can do it , where did you get the chubby hat :-) Happy Monday

[@Daniel_Loveland]

Yo Ben. Do you know what fly line that is?

[@greenwoodsbushhogging6704]

What's the spike things around the bow of the boat? That like a bow rail for feet or something to discourage someone from falling off because they're death spikes?

[@andrewspangler9032]

They are made of rubber used for keeping the fly lie on the boat and untangled just like a striping basket

[@greenwoodsbushhogging6704]

@@andrewspangler9032 well that's just all sorts of spiffy. I didn't figure they was death spikes, but that would be bad ass. 🤣

[@redchaserron]

They are for impaling the heads of your vanquished enemies on

[@greenwoodsbushhogging6704]

@@redchaserron I was hoping for tenkara fishermen's heads... they're like yuppie cane polers.

[@shepleonard8695]

Silly question..... What pants are you wearing? I've been looking for comfortable pants to fly fish in and haven't found anything and haven't found anything yet that works for me.

[@HugeFlyFisherman]

I’m usually wearing Kuhl, Free Fly, or Carhartt.

[@shepleonard8695]

@@HugeFlyFisherman Picked up a pair of Free Fly Nomad Pants today. WOW, winnwr winner chicken dinner!!! These are definitely my go to from now on.Thank you. I also picked up a Free Fly Bamboo Crossover Hoodie. Free Fly has got it going on!!!

Damnit! Now I have to go to the Gulf.

Pretty huge of you

[@uptoproofingdisastersoluti7218]

You ever fish Matagorda?

[@HugeFlyFisherman]

Not yet

[@vapecat2558]

Nice feet Edit: that was a joke Edit: I don’t have a foot fetish

[@conoroshaughnessy7786]

Get an H-Pylori test , my man! FOR YOUR HEALTH!

Hola como esta

[@redchaserron]

Come back bro

[@paypay696]

[@Zeke8762]

Does that loud-ass rod not spook fish when you are stripping? Sounds like it would scream under water.

[@FunDownSouth]

Anyone else dislike the textured lines?

[@derekconley4285]

tell me if you want me to tie a game changer for you

[@andrewscheeringa1635]

Why is your line so loud on the guides?

[@jonathancraft1034]

Textured line
