[@oumuamua717]

Nice fish I was fishing with my sun this winter and I had one like that they taste like lobster

[@alfonsopreciadogonzalezpre7622]

Addictive fishing is the first fishing program in youtube

[@addictivefishing]

We've been here a while. lol

[@Shark2497]

I spearfish north of Tampa Bay off Pasco county and I've never found that many large males in a day of diving, I think I'll have to plan a trip to the south next

[@nestoroniFL]

Where in Pasco county do you spear? I'm up in Hernando county and got a spear on a recent Keys trip and want to put it to good use.

[@Shark2497]

Out of Anclote but I'm done until grouper season opens up.

[@olrednec8726]

+Shark24 I have got huge males up there.. you can always hit the grounds they are massive out there

[@Shark2497]

olrednec Yeah there is a huge male every now and then but the grounds is only worth it to me when gas prices are low(which they are) and its a near perfect day which you don't get too many of when you are limited to weekends and holidays.

[@spruillfisher99]

there some nice fish you got your self there, Nice catch

[@sg0310]

14:23 on of those things fwc gets wrong there are lots of reds out there they are not in any risk at all

[@alfonsopreciado6821]

What is addictive fishing to me well I am an 1970 fisherman fresh water & saltwater fishing 🦦🎣

[@cadeorr5177]

I subscribed. Liked video

[@romsam4234]

AWESOME!!! I've always dove and speared my Hogs, in P.B.County, the Bahamas and the Keys, I've never caught one on a hook. Can you give a little bit more info on rigging such as : what size hook? regular hook or JAP hook? what kind of rig? Your absolutely right these fish are the tastiest fish out there! you can cook them in a lot of different ways. I just like to put them on the grill or oven a sheet of aluminum with a light coating of Olive Oil on both the aluminum and the fillet with a light dusting of salt, close the grill or oven and flip the fillet half way through cooking ( depending on thickness of the meat)

[@jpfootballzone4810]

nice bruhhhhhhh

[@swamppappy7745]

[@eddyrdz7543]

Never mind I heard you say it was an 8'0 rod

[@111fishkiller]

I have never had to spear one.

[@TBrownRecords]

A hog fish is my first time hearing and seeing it I never heard of a red snapper hogfish

[@Chango46]

@AddictiveFishing what combo is that

[@addictivefishing]

www.addictivefishing.com/p/store.html 7'9" Flats Blue rod with 4000 series Sabalos reel

[@nmf1080]

What kind of fishing poles are you using? Please reply.

[@addictivefishing]

Blair Wiggins Signature Series Flats Blue rods - www.addictivefishing.com/p/store.html

[@zachvelte2465]

[@boomstick9172]

Who was the genius that didn't name it duckfish?

[@kolinjohnson904]

Blair are you using any leader line or just braid

[@addictivefishing]

I always use Seaguar fluorocarbon leader.

[@emily111802]

C

[@dparacca]

Do you just drive around until you find bait or just drift hard bottom?

[@flattenedsquid8571]

RifflesandRuns Most boats just buy herring from other boats. From my experience there are a lot of bait boats driving around catching and selling their bait fish.

[@Veritas84Aequitas]

How do you determine what fish to keep to avoid getting ciguatera fish poisoning? They say to avoid barracuda, grouper, red snapper, moray eel, amberjack, parrotfish, hogfish, surgeonfish, kingfish, coral trout, and sea bass.... But we all see fisherman keep some of these species. Is it just a game of roulette basically or is there some sort of rule of thumb I'm missing?

[@addictivefishing]

I eat everything.

[@kevinflabouyfishing5739]

Addictive Fishing even mango snapper lol 1:45 I'm just laughing at the fact I called them mangrove snapper dunno . eat lizardfish too? Fishing that b.p enrichment areas it all tastes good, lubricates the arteries

[@FloridaMadeMike]

Are hog fish good eats?

[@addictivefishing]

Michael R. YES

[@justinfuchs5317]

[@2308super]

[@addictivefishing]

live shrimp

[@yandro1210]

Fish I mean srry

[@dandixon4034]

West coast? Is there a problem with Goliath grouper I have heard some stuff what are you say

[@addictivefishing]

West Coast of Florida . . . Goliath grouper are federally protected, so we can't harvest them. They are now taking over the ocean and eating everything in their habitats.

[@Hisslave1]

Amen to that. Come on FWC, WAKE UP!

[@donsdock4408]

Hogfish are a member of the wrasse family, NOT a snapper

[@jorgealbertoamaromaldonado6666]

Whats use to catch hogfish?

[@addictivefishing]

live shrimp on a circle hook.

[@Slobzfishing]

The best way is a knocker rig and a half of shrimp 20 pound leader line

[@dandixon4034]

Thank you for responding, so the government needs to explore the problem I have no problem with protecting fish in the ocean but if they are getting to the point of putting to much pressure on the other fish then we should be able to harvest some of them to maintain a balance let me know if anybody is trying to look into this kind of legislation

[@addictivefishing]

It's a hot topic for the offshore anglers.

[@delmrc1473]

are you in the gulf or the bay

[@olrednec8726]

+Del MrC they were in the gulf

[@88jramped]

where can i get one of them wind breaker, sun shield sleeves, or whatever they are called you wear around your neck/face? i have several for winter time but could really use one for the summer

[@88jramped]

Addictive Fishing cool thanks, i should be taking delivery of my new flats blue rod soon, cant wait to try it out,

[@addictivefishing]

[@88jramped]

Addictive Fishing the addictive fishing eagle claw mogan spinning combo, havent seen good reviews about the FINS braid on it, but i gonna give it a try. my next purchase is gonna be the 7'6" inshore rod, and a sabalos reel.

[@joshuakelly8598]

[@winkawak]

how are these fish pretty? black drums are prettier compared to these lol

[@antionetteibarra7778]

why do you guys put the fish back most of the time but good job

[@addictivefishing]

We only take enough to feed the crew.

[@spidyepic1473]

[@gregcook6035]

No wrong answer Heather I just texted alterable

[@tastethejace]

Limit of 10 per person?? Hope Mr. Farner hasn't been exercising that. It's been a bag limit of 5 for many, many years now. The hogfish is listed as vulnerable to extinction, with estimated 60% less population in Florida since 1987. Stricter regulations are expected in 2017.

[@Capjohnsonmike]

tastethejace ya man they get hammered. Especially diving and spearing. Easiest fish in the world to shoot. Especially with a tank on your back. I try not to hammer them too much. Some of those regs coming out are talking about not allowing you to spearfish them when your diving. I agree with it. They just get slaughtered here in south Florida. Don't hardly see any big males anymore.

[@Capjohnsonmike]

[@Capjohnsonmike]

tastethejace plus they're going to lower it from 5 to 1 soon and increase the length to 16

[@tastethejace]

Right, as it should be. That reduced limit and minimum length increase has been long overdue, but at least the dwindling hogfish populations are finally being addressed. Thank you for your replies.

[@Capjohnsonmike]

tastethejace ya man no problem. They'll come back.

[@timhilliard2852]

Your Capt needs to get his facts right. That's not even close to a black grouper its a gag and is called a gag by everyone and the limit on hogs is 5 per person.

[@JeffBlaine]

Re-watch the section on the grouper @ 9mins in the video. He clearly states it's a gag and not a true black grouper. But yes, he's wrong on the hogfish limit. Maybe he meant to say 10 for the both of them and it was a simple error. He didn't seem like an idiot to me... give the dude the benefit of the doubt.

Are all of this guys sponsors sexual references...
