Great video I've never been fishing not sure why I'm watching this but keep up the good work

[@fernandonogueira7771]

Very nice presentation! Thank you

[@brucecronin6396]

Pretty work...

[@heyboy96]

Nice Tutorial. I'll be using this in the future!

[@TheCaptainQuinn]

Fun Stuff!!!

[@FloridaSportFishing]

Yes, - Capt Mike

[@FloridaSportFishing]

Correct, the belly flap also makes a great strip bait. Capt Mike

[@patrickmounier3332]

Very interesting video and great tutorial, thanks for sharing this.

[@FloridaSportFishing]

Thanks for watching. - Capt Mike

[@patrickmounier3332]

Thank you. Greetings all the way from New-Caledonia. I love you show!!

[@FloridaSportFishing]

Swims beautifully and is extremely durable due to tough skin on snakehead. - Capt Mike

[@FloridaSportFishing]

I've never used ribbonfish, but I would imagine they would work well. Might be a little tricky to rig, but I say give it a shot! Capt Mike

[@bhunter11]

Very cool. So do you add and lights or glow sticks to that rig or basically the fish smell the Bonita strip?

[@FloridaSportFishing]

Blake Hunter We add three flashing lights spread intermitantly 15, 30, 45 feet from bait. Thanks for watching. - Capt Mike

[@dannybelon8499]

excuse me sir.. nice tutorial. i want to know did u use sinker for this? and how lbs the sinker that u will recommended for it? tqvm

[@FloridaSportFishing]

When daytime sword fishing we use a large sash weight, usually 10 pounds, sometimes as heavy as 12. - Capt Mike

[@eddietinoga5846]

how deep do you drop the bait and how deep you should fish at? good video.

[@FloridaSportFishing]

When daytime sword fishing, we typically fish 1600-2000 ft and baits are presented 50 to 200 ft off the bottom.

[@johnechterhoff4791]

Would a large ribbonfish work equally as well? Thanks. Great vid.

[@johnciliberto2942]

Yes swords will eat that

[@jenningsipock8620]

bad ass bro

[@FloridaSportFishing]

Thanks for watching. - Capt Mike

[@PressTHEdeck]

what is the difference between that and a mackerel or some other baitfish? is it purely about durability?

[@frankpalmisano9390]

Durka durka

[@FloridaSportFishing]

"Durka durka," not sure if I want to know what that means. - Capt Mike

[@michaelbeni459]

I'm no genius but boy am I confused. Why is the goal to save as much tail meat as possible then next step is cut off all the tail meat?

[@Sandeel420]

Cuts bloodline out then cuts everything else off wut

[@ARIKBS7]

איזה שטויות.שים דג מה אתה שם את העור

[@MenCanNotBeWomen]

the belly flap would have been better and faster to rig up,

[@FloridaSportFishing]

We use the belly flap as well. Thanks for watching. - Capt Mike

[@MenCanNotBeWomen]

just seams a long time and a waste of a whole tuna, when it could have been used for swords as a drift bait..
