[@KayakFrank]

Epic fishing......man! WOW!

[@FloridaSportFishing]

Kayak Frank Thanks for watching, we appreciate the support and hope you enjoyed the show. - Capt Mike

[@OrsunVZ]

So what was the final tally, and who ended up with the bragging rights in the end???

[@FloridaSportFishing]

***** Fortunately, I believe I walked away the winner. My yellowedge grouper at the end just beat Carlos' by a couple of pounds, both were awesome fish though. - Capt Mike

[@abudabud-lh3sh]

i like your guys videos 📹 it I like it 📹 see 👀 you guys in July 3rd and august 29th 😊😅😮😢😂

[@Sapin247]

wow you have excellent quality videos.

[@FloridaSportFishing]

Jason Davenport Thank you very much for watching. - Capt Mike

[@petefellman3372]

Hey Capt. Mike, I'm planning my first Pulley Ridge trip this June and am making my own weight. I would like to know how many rigs I might expect to go through on an average trip? Also, in your opinion am I better off spending the money on the Seaborg Megatwin750 over the Tanacom 750? Thanks for the Info.

[@FloridaSportFishing]

+Lori Fellman I've used both and while the 2 speed is a little faster on the retrieve when checking your bait or relocating, it really isn't a benefit when fighting fish. Stick with the Tanacom 750, you'll love it. Reliable and easy to use. - Capt Mike

[@fowlintent]

So when this particular spot gets fished out, does the Captain just go to another spot that can be overfished and exploited?

[@MenCanNotBeWomen]

lol folks using very long rods from a boat..shorter rods would give the angler better control and less wear n tear on their arms and back..

[@FloridaSportFishing]

Yes, in most cases you'd be right, however in this case we find it more beneficial to fish 8'0" rods when headboat fishing. The extra length makes it easier to toss baits away from boat and easier to keep line from rubbing under boat. - Capt Mike

[@nicholasburnette549]

Great Show! Its a Show You Can Watch Over And Over And Still Enjoy!

[@FloridaSportFishing]

Nicholas Burnette Thank you very much, very nice of you to say. - Capt Mike

[@Blakaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay]

Dude I think carlos's yellow edge was bigger!!

[@FloridaSportFishing]

Blakaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay No. I beat him by a couple pounds, either way both were quality fish! Thanks for watching. - Capt Mike

[@gonedeepseafishing]

What kind of limits are there? What rules do you have to follow? Aren't there aggregate bad limits? Just trying to figure out how much fish we can bring home. Thanks, Great Vid!!!!

[@FloridaSportFishing]

gonedeepseafishing You are allowed two days limit for snapper/grouper, no limit on blueline tiles. No limit on blacken tuna. - Capt Mike

[@abudabud-lh3sh]

i like you're video 📹 😊😅😮😢😂

[@abudabud-lh3sh]

I like your video 😊😅😮😢😂

[@peterk814]

Been there done that. Try doing a five to seven day trip of all deep drop fishing manual crank only. Hit the gym, lose the belly maybe you can last more than two hours (probably 6-7 drops)

[@FloridaSportFishing]

peterk814 Thanks again for watching Peter, and Im sorry we dont see eye to eye on the subject. However, in the spirit of professionalism and respect from one angler to the next, there is really no need to throw mud. Happy holidays and I wish you the best of luck in all of your endeavors. - Capt Mike

[@bionicsjw]

What is the fish at 2:29. I caught a smaller one off the Norfolk Canyon a few years ago.

[@FloridaSportFishing]

bionicsjw That is a longtail bass, weird deepwater predator. - Capt Mike

[@juanantoniobautistamendoza3396]

muy aburrida ese tipo de pesca..

[@FloridaSportFishing]

juan antonio bautista mendoza Not sure what that means????? I will ask Carlos. - Capt Mike

[@marcwebb2573]

I could also see how the electric reel is realistic. I would be fine manually bringing fish up at the beginning, or maybe every other couple fish, but when you are lighting fish up like this your wrists will be pretty beat after a few hours. If you think the electric is easy, you have to monitor the speed and drag etc. while also having to pull up on it. Its continuoulsy cranking, so you are working even harder than manual lifting, just in a shorter amount of time.

[@FloridaSportFishing]

Marc Webb Hi Marc and thanks for watching, you are 100% correct, its far from just pushing a button and bailing fish. There really is a lot to it. Hope to see you on the grounds! - Capt Mike

how do you not run out of space for all of those fish in the coolers?!

[@FloridaSportFishing]

Danny Gretter There are large fish boxes in back of boat on the Yankee Capts and all fish are tagged and iced until we get back to the dock. - Capt Mike

[@TheSnowking21]

im sorry but those electric reels do not look like fun

[@FloridaSportFishing]

TheSnowking21 They actually are a ton of fun. Its a specialized piece of equipment only to be used in the right venue, like deep dropping in 600-1200 ft from dawn to dusk. Thanks for watching - Capt Mike

[@TheSnowking21]

I might have to try it sometime then, any recommendations on a moderately priced model?

[@FloridaSportFishing]

TheSnowking21 Daiwa Tanacom 750 for up to 3 lbs of lead and depths 400-700 ft and Daiwa Tanacom for 5 lbs of lead and depths ranging from 500-1200 ft. - Capt Mike

[@serenapalmer6231]

Lol

[@marokriste363]

Guys nice to see you fishing

[@californiafishermen4495]

Capt Mike, u have made me a better angler then I was in the past, ur tips has help me alot and I look forward for more

[@FloridaSportFishing]

+California fishermen Thank you very much. Happy to hear it. - Capt Mike

[@xlspencer7818]

To Spencer from CJ my name is Jeff

[@TheJwhollis]

LOL, IMHO Carlos seems to come out ahead more often with the biggest and most fish caught between you two.

[@ditchxr443]

More than half the fing video is just ads only like 5 mins in total is about the fishing on the deck please put less ads in your vids

[@serenapalmer6231]

My brothers first golden tile fish was 39LB at 9 years old

[@travisrobertson7583]

. I would love to go fishing with you guys give me a call or text ma Bros galaxy receive guys later tell him to bring W no beers to my folks and Telluride xoxoxoxo xoxoxo

[@JonSmith-yq1dw]

was that guy around the 25 and a half minute mark really trying to fish 800 + feet with a Penn Senator with mono LOL I hope he was just drifting a bait in the column I'm not a hundred percent sure if it was mono I didn't go back to look but my brain remembers mono but either way that's either insane or way too much work. I've seen people deep drop in about 450 without electric reels but I could have sworn he said they were in like 700 feet plus and it didn't look like it was an electric mate Senator either

[@JonSmith-yq1dw]

okay it had braid on it but it definitely didn't happen electromate on it

[@yamjandali]

You guys seem like great fun to fish with! I just hope you eat all the fish you catch and that it doesn't go to waste, do you? Great video!

[@FloridaSportFishing]

yamjandali Every bite! I respect every fish we catch and refuse to let it go to waste. Truthfully, I take pride in nice fillet jobs and carefully vacuum sealing each piece and then giving it to friends/family/business acquaintances, etc. Feels good to give, know what I mean? - Thanks for watching. - Capt Mike

[@johnreid8551]

Sorry, but fish will hit a bait without a light attached to the rig while drop fishing that deep. I did it with my father in the Caribbean decades ago so know firsthand myself that you can be very successful without one. Just saying.

[@FloridaSportFishing]

You are correct. They primarily feed by scent along with sight. Capt Mike

[@fishingnorthflorida5549]

Fish that are red don't become invisible, they just turn gray. Like a hogfish under 15+ feet

[@FloridaSportFishing]

Blaine Parker You are correct, I should have explained it better and in more detail. Thank you for watching. - Capt Mike

[@billdill9592]

Hey Mike GREAT video love fishing for groupers whats is the biggest grouper you have caught to day

[@FloridaSportFishing]

Bill Dill Hi Bill, I feel fortunate to have caught some decent fish over the years.....Goliaths to 200+, big fire truck red groupers, some real nice gags and blacks, big Bahamian mystic grouper, oh yeah, caught a reel nice 100+ warsaw grouper here off Pompano. Thanks for watching. - Capt Mike

[@aidenwood5912]

Sick trip thanks for sharing ! And what was the largest fish caught ?

[@TheZippy86286]

How do y'all ckeep track of all the fish u catch for everyday and when do u clean them and do they provide food and drink and reels

[@JonSmith-yq1dw]

I know it's probably a little late but how Head Boats like that do it is everybody gets a certain number example would be 1 on the head so you would take a fillet knife and carve 1 straight line in the head and then and when you run out of a usable number say seven or eight on the head then you can do one on the belly or one on the tail one on the throat most people bring their own gear because when you're doing trips like that you're usually a pretty avid Angler. Food-wise you bring some stuff they usually have some drinks I remember the last Tortugas trip I took which was a long time ago you would find the lobster boats and trade them a 12 pack of Budweiser and they would give you a whole bucketful of lobster and you would just eat that and (also use the heads and some tails for bait I'm telling you those big grouper devour Lobster) and the fish you caught through the trip. this was like two decades ago though. we would do a three-day trip and you would sleep on the boat which usually you didn't do but a few hours through the three days and you would just tell the captain where to go. If it was the middle of the night and a few people or dozing off for a little bit you tell the captain let's go hit the reef and go catch big flag yellow Tails while everybody sleeping or throw few barracudas on ropes and try to get a nice tiger shark. believe me it's such a fun trip somewhat expensive when everything said and done but worth it. If you do end up taking a Tortugas trip a big tip is to tip the mates before you even go out not after the trip. I'm not sure how the Yankee Captain works but I was told on the boat we used to go to to do that beforehand and they definitely make sure you stay on fish even if it's in the middle of the night and everybody's tired.

[@aaronprice6716]

Wow. i'm an old port tampa boy and this may be the best fishing show i have seen. sometimes i think i would give up everything i have to live this life, to feel the seabreeze and smell the ocean every day for the rest of my life. the dream yea. i love florida, even in hurricane's. i always say if your afraid in a hurricane then tie yourself to a big tree like osceola and feel the rain on your face...again guy's GREAT SHOW.

[@FloridaSportFishing]

Thank you.

[@pocoffshorefishing6498]

i fish in Texas out off Port O'conner and we use your method and they work fantastic 😊thank you

[@FloridaSportFishing]

POC offshore fishing Awesome, thanks for watching. - Capt Mike

[@peterk814]

Do you use your electric wheelchair to get down to the boat? If you're not handicapped you shouldn't be using electric reels

[@FloridaSportFishing]

peterk814 Hi and thank you for watching. Fortunately, I do not need an "electric wheelchair," though I appreciate your concern. Power assist reels are specialized pieces of equipment utilized only in certain circumstances. Listen, truth is I've been out there fishing manually. Yeah, its fun, that is for the first few hours. We're talking about dropping in 600-1200 ft with 2-4 lbs of lead countless times over a two day period. I agree that fishing a primitive electric mounted on a broom stick out of a rod holder would be one thing, but this is lightweight gear fished directly under your arm. Again, its power assist, so you are still using the handle to manually crank quite a bit but when you need to check your back or reset? Save your energy! Its about finesse and mastering reel features like drag and variable speed to be as successful as possible. Countless anglers/boaters use electric kite reels, electric downriggers, electric trolling motors, etc.....all specialized pieces of equipment used only when/where needed. Come deep dropping with me, I'll make you a believer. - Capt Mike

[@jmcarbone2754]

Great video. I am willing to wager everyone complaining about electric reels has power steering and electric windows in their cars and doesn't carry their own bag and walk around a golf course.

[@miltonscornertobylove5068]

Thanx captain mike I guess I'll try it too lol And 👍 for the electric reels

[@FloridaSportFishing]

Milton Solis You are welcome, good luck and thanks again for watching. - Capt Mike

[@normyooo]

Nice catch. If i bring my tanacom is there battery on board?

[@FloridaSportFishing]

***** No, you have to provide your own battery power. One fully charged 12v deep cycle is usually sufficient. I bring two just in case. - Capt Mike

[@maswanneragain]

99% of the time it gets them everytime lol...sure. looks like fun

[@FloridaSportFishing]

maswanneragain Thanks man, appreciate you watching! - Capt Mike

[@serenapalmer6231]

Small snowy grouper

[@miltonscornertobylove5068]

Hi why not used the strove light @ night time.?

[@FloridaSportFishing]

Milton Solis Excellent question, we only use the addition of lights when deep dropping in 500-1000 ft during the day. At night, we fish shallower water 100-200 ft and do not include the light, however it may just work! I will try it next time and see what happens. - Capt Mike

[@TheZippy86286]

And do u have to bring ur own bait

[@serenapalmer6231]

On the Viking Starship

[@crazy8606]

By far my favorite fishing show!

[@grillnthrill4651]

If I were to book a pulley ridge trip but I didn't have the tackle to deep drop, would they provide a rod and reel?

[@FloridaSportFishing]

They do NOT rent/offer power assist electric reels, manual only. Try a Pulley Ridge Lite trip, no electrics!

[@grillnthrill4651]

Florida Sport Fishing thanks I will look into it

[@serenapalmer6231]

[@waterplantoperator7181]

Wow,your Thumb must be exhausted by the end of the day!! Leave the electric helper at home and even up the Fish Versus Man contest.

[@FloridaSportFishing]

+Water Plant Operator We do fish for them manually as well, but when fishing 2-3 lbs of lead in 600-1200 ft for two days straight, the power assist feature certainly comes in handy. - Capt Mike
