A year ago I made a how to catch monster mutton snapper video that has almost 2 million views now. Mutton snapper seems to be a hot topic and many people ask me... What is the best fishing rig to catch mutton snapper?
So it's time I show you the mutton snapper rig I use while fishing. It's called the 'Bottom Drifter' and can be bought at southfloridafi... and is what I have been using for the past 2 years now as the best fishing rig, especially here in Key Largo but this fishing rig will work anywhere! It works great for snapper fishing and a bunch of other species!
If you want to catch snapper, then watch this video. It's also a catch clean cook video. What that means is I catch and cook the mutton snapper! We end up doing the catch and cook at Lazy Lobster.
A lot of people think mutton snapper fishing when they think about south florida fishing. After all, mutton snapper are beautiful and great to catch and cook. So how to catch snapper and how to catch mutton snapper are essentially the same. While bottom drifting I tend to catch mainly mutton snapper and yellowtail snapper, not so much mangrove snapper.
The bottom drifter is my favorite and best mutton snapper fishing rig. There's many variations of it, but for me when I want to film a mutton snapper catch and cook fishing episode you know i'm going to be using the best fishing rig for snapper. Key Largo is full of mutton snapper that I am very confident these days that every time I run offshore it will become a catch clean cook snapper episode.
So if you're wondering how to catch mutton snapper and what is the best fishing rig to catch mutton snapper, then this is the right fishing video for you. Whether you are fishing key largo or somewhere else in Forida (especially south florida fishing) you can count on this fishing rig to catch you monster mutton snapper!
I hope you enjoyed this How To Best Fishing Rig to Catch MONSTER Mutton Snapper off Key Largo Catch Clean Cook fishing episode on the South Florida Fishing Channel. I have some awesome fishing videos in production here out of the Florida keys! Please leave a like and comment to show your support. Thank you!

Where can I get the 30 pound bottom drifter rig

[@michaelcelotto6743]

South Florida Fishing Channel awesome Heiko Congratulations will definitely be ordering ✌️😀

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

@@henryhazell7497 you can tip the #80 with 30. There will be a #40 available later this month. #30 is too thin to directly attach the hollowcore to it

i realize Im kinda randomly asking but does anybody know of a good place to stream new series online?

[@FloridaFishingCouple]

Holy crap! Seeing this video from both yours and our perspectives from that day is awesome!! Great video and a great day! Elizabeth and Caitlyn had a great day too! Looking forward to gettin back out together soon. -Dan

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

Yea can't wait! I have legit hook cutters on my boat now! PS: bleach diluted with 50% water would have been the perfect solution to clean that hole heh (at least according to google) We weren't crazy!

[@FloridaFishingCouple]

South Florida Fishing Channel: Yup, we know our stuff! Next time we bleach the cut!! -Dan

[@FloridaFishingCouple]

South Florida Fishing Channel: gotta pick up a pair of cutters for my boat too. Will check yours out when I get back. -Dan

I know its a late comment but this has to be one of my favs that I have watched multiple times. Only video you see Dan and Elizabeth getting loose after the hook in the hand. Love it brotha. Come to Va this summer and record a video for cobia fishing in the Chesapeake Bay

[@hughgreen7478]

Heiko, I am serious about the cobia. Plus so many others like spade, flounder, seabass, triggers, and sheephead. Not to mention late night tours of old forts only accessible by boat.

Another great video! I saw Dan's video first, both good. Looked like an awesome day, got the anchor, caught some great fish, got the hook out of Dan, hung out at the sand bar, and then an awesome looking dinner with a lovely young lady. Can't ask for much more than that!

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

Thanks! Yea it was a perfect day

[@markfranks943]

[@megamattoutdoors7648]

Glad you got your anchor back. They're not cheap. Also might want to look into building a fish cleaning station. I did and costs less than 100 bucks including running water

[@boostedbb]

My compliments to the camera man. You caught some great shots.

[@E7ReFlex]

What an amazing catch you got your self! And I'm not talking about the mutton ;) you guys are awesome so great for each other!! Best wishes!

Wow that fish looks delicious 🤤 Looks like so much fun. 🐟🐟 My babys love fishing 🎣 We went to Corpus Christi, and my baby got a shark 🦈

[@Steve-Jody]

That GoFish Camera is so cool ! Thanks for sharing the video . Oh quick question on the weight, are you drifting it well above. The bottom or is it bouncing while you drift ? Cheers

[@jeffmccool692]

The best of times! Enjoy these days.

[@chuckhenry407]

Great video love them all. If you can elaborate more on gear and terminal tackle used. It would be very appreciated. For example on that bottom drifter rig, how are you attaching it to the main line? tied with knot or using snap swivel for easy changing or regular barrel swivel. Also your main line is it braid what size? tied to that wind on leader? What type and size hooks? Lastly what size rod and reel combinations you using? A little more info on tackle would be very beneficial for many new anglers as well as old ones that have been away from fishing a long time and getting his lines wet again. Thank you.

[@UrbanFisherman]

Another epic fishing day. 😎😎😎

[@derrellholsonback1329]

Ever tried leaving the tail attached then flipping it over to skin the fish for better control of the fish ? I live in N. Alabama and love your videos, ever think of taking on an apprentice for a retired man for room and board? It would be my dream to fish and help out with daily duties, whatever they may be?

[@stevendeez6211]

Yo Heiko bro that video was badass man those Keys shots were beautiful dude keep it up man ive been a fan of yours for a minute lol screw the haters bro you got great content 24/7 lol when dan hooked got hooked you where in a predicament with your girl and the barracuda and helping him with the hook. Good shit my bro!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Brian!

[@GmanfromTexas]

Ok Dude so After trying to hold my breath while you retrieved the anchor and almost passing out I really got queasy when Dan pulled that hook out of his finger DANG!!!! Great Mutton though. Love your videos . The time at the sand bar, it doesn't get any better than that!!!

good man, been spending a lot of time with the fishing rig launch, fishing and with the lady. Can't complain =)

[@Halusafishingprofessional]

@@SouthFloridaFishingChannel yeah that's the way to be. Glad your having a good day and enjoy more to come..my rig tho is like the knocker rig but instead of the weight hitting the hook I put a crimp about 2 fingers up off the weight (egg) bank sinker 3 inches and spider weights a little further up yet depending on the lead for the spider weight.but bbn uesh that's my go to..I lost alot more fosh wiah the weight hitting g the hook out from head shakes..remember that ;~} sure you already kno but every little bit helps

[@Halusafishingprofessional]

Off the hook not the weight lol

[@williamrucker8865]

Those people in the back looking at y’all at the restaurant 😂😂💀

[@stevefisher2553]

Remember, ALWAYS wear glasses when fishing with treble hooks! Saw this on another channel.

[@barbarkevin270]

Amazing underwater footage

[@johnlukasik8045]

My heart goes out to Mr. Dan !!! O.M.G. ! ! ! I think I would have preferred to cut the shank side of the hook, and pull out by the pointed side ? Those barbs can really do more damage going against the barb ! Just ask a fish ! l o l I searched the bleach thing and it said 10:1 with water was ok , but only to do that one time ONLY !!! On bigger fish, it is best to use pliers so you don't get the hook ! MONSTER FISH THAT DAY W O W !

Originally a trolling fisherman, tuna, mahi , wahoo, white and blue marlin. Do you have any suggestions on how to fish this area?

No idea about fishing up there to be honest

How come on your website it only has the bottom drifter rig with 80 pound leader

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

In this video I had the #80 leader going to the gofish cam and then 4ft of #30 leader coming off the gofish cam. I will be adding #40 bottom drifting rigs later this month, waiting for the right hollowcore to show up. #80 is great for all size fish and you can always tip it with something lighter using line to line or a barrel swivel
