[@mattimmelman6767]

Hey Justin, love the content. I’m from Minnesota, and I visit my grandparents in March every year. We fish the surf/Indian River near Stuart. We get trout and rough fish casting plastics, how would you suggest we get into more snook and redfish in March? Thanks! Keep it up!

[@justin_menendez]

Try using live croakers or pinfish👍

[@brendaseigler3923]

He is huge !!

[@CountyLine_Charters]

When Justin's Mom watches this and hears him say "Give Me That Head Gurl" 👸😂

[@leerutherford4910]

That's funny 😂

[@fishingwithmax8248]

I was about to say that 😂😂

[@scsharkhunter407]

Came to the comments right after I heard that 😂

[@thahuong669]

Funny 😁😁😁

[@twotoned2774]

Nice catches. I catch croaker all the time in S. Carolina and always throw them back. Maybe I will try to use them next time. Can't wait for the next video.

[@Sqillyam]

Bro you’ve been snapping lately 💯🤝

[@dashawnfelton59]

I did when mom said the food was ready

[@sinkorswimcreativemedia8889]

That's such a valuable thing to comment, makes me happy to see.

Best 24 dollars you ever spent!

[@magneresjuan]

Justin I love your videos but please put your camera on your head ! chest doesn´t work, we see your feets more than the firsts moment´s of the fight, on your head will solve the problem pleaseee !!!! take care

[@CBonesey]

I’ll buy the next dozen croakers if you go back to the hat cam!!

[@mynameisnotcory]

Holy shit. These videos give lawson and friends a run for their money!

[@AnthonyC249]

big facts

[@FishinPA]

tbh lawson slackin compared to jus

[@cmoecher]

@@FishinPA as of late I agree. I'd like to see lawson and Justin get a couple videos offshore

[@_Kere_]

@@FishinPA I can't pinpoint what it is but for the last couple months I really haven't been enjoying Lawson's content like I used to. It almost seems like he feels like he "made it" and the videos dont have the same passion and energy that he used to bring.

[@timisoutdoors]

Lawson who??!?

[@carterthemlgpro1380]

7:10 love the commentary😂

“Gimmie that head girl” epic. Great vid as usual

[@joeyjoe8892]

That's right I gotta 14ft grizzly tracker and yes I have same problem you wind up pulling ur boat towards the fish

Your fishing was incredible, congratulations fisherman you caught beautiful fish, this place is very good.👍🎣😎

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Man you deserve way more subs, love you vids bro 👍🏻

[@darianharris9735]

Really dig your videos and you can tell that you put a lot of effort in to your b-roll and cinematography on top of getting great fishing content, keep up the good job!

[@TheFishingMommy]

Amazing day! It’s so great watching your channel grow and seeing you become such a great angler in the process. Seems like you might be filming a “cast netting croaker for epic live bait” video pretty soon, huh? lol

[@nzzsparks]

Croaker or ladyfish best snook bait 👍Croaker 👎ladyfish

[@southfromtexas2527]

What a monster congratulations I know your heart was beating fast cuz mine would have been to and it actually did just from watching the video LOL congratulations again brother

[@SouthFloridaFrames]

5:55 perks of having a micro gheenoe 😂😂

[@Mel-wz1pj]

Mad respect for the way you work around the docks 💪. Totally get the meneuver issue with a small boat...Hooked a 30 Plus Snook on a Yak and got tipped over....

[@nicolasgutierrez1690]

Love the vids. One question. What size battery do you use for your trolling motor

[@starkillerr3116]

Nice video bro I'm going fishing tomorrow for my bday hopefully get something good, keep up the good work brother

[@tacolton1674]

you should use a conventional to horse these big fish in. locked drag and hold on

[@thomasternus9930]

Down here in Boca goggle eye are $80 or so a dozen on a good day

[@justin_menendez]

Insane

[@thomasternus9930]

Ya you gotta wake up around 3 to be able to catch them too so they’re expensive either way

[@lonestarlarry6994]

Crazy. Down here in Texas coast we get them for a little below a dollar each. So like around $40 something dollars for 4 dozen

[@thomasternus9930]

tractor scotch i can’t even get shiners for that cheap. They still cost me $13 a doz

[@CampCatch]

Awesome vid. I can never find croakers in my area but I hear they are a top tier bait for trophy speckled trout.

[@eddiereyes6193]

Camp Catch hell yeah they are

[@joshuarobertdaniels]

Down here in South Texas they are ten dollars a dozen, and most trout anglers' bait of choice.

[@KayakKingdom]

easy to catch right past the breakers with a small hook and cut up shrimp

[@lowcountrytobackcountryins3049]

Insane action! Congrats on the stellar day! Thank you for your amazing content and production. My wife loves to watch your videos with me!

[@SaltwaterAddict]

Those are some studs, dude! I got into fishing the river recently and it's crazy to see where you'll find giant snook laid up!

[@dannyd-rockmahaffey3087]

[@lukasramalho4165]

Your videos are the best hands dowm

[@alec_sipe6231]

[@c.ljones1229]

Started sleeping on your vids,but this on woke me up,not a bad way to a spend 24 bucks,nice fish,good job on this one👍

[@eastcoastyakin4862]

That first bait was Definitely a Spot, not croaker🤪

[@eastcoastyakin4862]

Nice catch anyway

[@COLDSTEELE152]

Best video so far bro! Keep it coming, tight lines JM! 🎣🤙

[@AndrewDoesLife]

Dude keep these bangers coming!

[@dylantaylor3384]

You could catch croaker and mojarra with just a spilt shot and small hook with shrimp so you don’t have to buy them

[@mikerodrigues1550]

🙌🔥🔥🔥 boss! I was shaking with you bro! Miss that feeling 😪 keep them coming my dude! Great job!

[@SLAUSONx]

Best $24 you have ever spent! Awesome content man!

[@danielbarbee7712]

Sweet catches. Plus they all live to be enjoyed another day.

[@angelogreen7580]

Great video, you make it look easy!

[@eugeneweeks3325]

I ain’t gonna lie. That first snook you caught was some of the best shit I have ever seen. You did your thing bro. Got all in the docks. Then come the alligator trout.

[@RedneckRinFla]

Let's go bro.... Awesome vid 👊

[@christopherpeterraby]

your channel is gonna blow up, love the edits and the content. keep videos coming!

[@justinford9988]

[@fishingwithredtrout1240]

Best $24 you spent 🎣

[@catchemwithcorey704]

the best 20$ you prolly spent 💪🏼

[@customledandfiberopticsinc2756]

I realize I'm late to the show but 24.00 for a dozen livies... LOL come to South Florida and buy Goggle eyes, usually run over 100.00 a dozen and even higher during tournaments

[@mikeb5810]

Hell yeah man nice freaking trout

[@Velcrostraps91]

Aye so I don't have a gheenoe I don't fish docks like you do I don't have monster snook in my area. But I watch maybe all your work. Just something I see maybe might help. I would in your shoes vs throwing that live bait like mullet croaker etc those baits the big fish are going to eat vs a shrimp I would just throw at the shadow line of the dock. Those big fish are hungry they WILL come out and eat those mullet, croaker etc, that will mitigate your chances of having to go to war with the docks. Pitching those big baits way into structure like that you know those big fish are gonna eat is just imo asking for trouble. You will hook up but land rate may be small. Anyway this just what I see from the outside looking in bro. I'm an avid angler like most of us who watch you work I hope maybe you can see what I'm saying. I'm typing while watching and geez that trout is a fkn GATOR....BEAUTIFUL BRO. Love what you been doing man. I like your style. I was watching L.L. do his thing for the longest but seems his vid overall quality is diminishing some. Idk just my thought. Stay you fam much respects. Tight lines !

[@ryancrocker5609]

I’m from Stuart, FL. Nice Trout! My biggest was 31” caught on a 10” mullet. Hit like a small tarpon.

[@benfieldhicks7064]

Dude $2 a croaker? We just carry a sabiki rig and tip the with 1/4inch pieces of fish bites. It usually take 30 minutes to put 60-70 in the livewell

[@jdimonda]

Haha. I wasn't trying to be critical of your last video. Thee's no doubt that a fish that large will will pull around a gheenoe such as yours. Regardless, keep up the good work. I love watching your content. 🔥 🔥

[@harryharrison6496]

Great video coverage!! Keep them coming!

[@ryancrocker5609]

I’m in Stuart Fl my best trout was 31 1/4. Hit a 10in mullet. Thought it was a small tarpon.

[@catfishjohn2329]

That 39 was sick. cant believe you landed it. you're the man. I guess those croakers were worth it!

[@scottmichael3745]

We catch them off of bridges on small bits of shrimp. But yeah, at $24 a dozen, they Better Work! Lol.

[@topwatertommy1255]

"Give me that head girl" 😂 - Hi I'm Tommy I'm 23 and I'm immature asf 😂😂

[@divadrestas]

I've been over fishing videos for a while but yours are really enjoyable👍🏽. If you're ever in Puerto Rico and want to fish let me know

[@thahuong669]

I lovely fishing bro 👌👌👌🇺🇸😍😍😍 wonderful

[@speckledtruth4577]

Justin, if your interested, submit that fish into our trophy trout citation program.

[@stanleymoore7454]

Nice,fish,I like the way you fish.I could only dream of catching something like that.

[@cjsmithfl]

Great insight for people that have never fished on a micro or a kayak. The ol’ fashioned sleigh ride. Great video, love the work you’ve been doing. Keep it up 👍🏽

[@possumjenkins007]

What a trip! I just found your channel. Check out my recent videos from Stuart for some monster Snook action! Congrats on that PB Trout and huge Snook!

[@Curryhunts]

24 dollars plus tax for a day of fishing like that is worth it every time. Saw bellies in New York are 3 dollars a piece I get them 4 or 5 times a summer.

[@blackbirdfpv1981]

I love the BIG bites and people don't understand how much they pull u around. U never forget ur first 40 they are just so fat and heads are rocks

[@bridgettwilliams6329]

Wicked catch! Good job dude.

[@llshamelessll]

At 24 bucks a dozen its time to get a bait fish trap or toss that cast net.. Honestly a pinfish will probably work just as good but be sure to cut off those dorsal and pectoral fin spikes so they swallow them easily. What a day you had.

[@terrycrosby9149]

My pb snook was 37 inches on 12 pound line that was fun my pb red 42 on 14 pound line funfun

[@jasonbenjamin9371]

Sometimes $24 worth of croakers leads to an amazing day on the water. Nuce fish bro

[@connorfarrell1]

Don’t complain about price when you payed 100$ for a yeti bucket😂

[@ZThrasher]

Killer day bro! 👏

[@CreepinFPV]

What a epic day! gotta love them croakers aka snook candy

[@FishingwithDom]

Holy how did that snook stay on, that’s some mad skill bro

[@llshamelessll]

Always free spool when your fish is about to wrap you on a piling. Often they will turn around or least the line wont get cut.

[@filibertobarrera3839]

Take one of those small kids push button reel,put 5 small tiny hooks with a split shot,and catch ur own Crockers.

[@joshuawilliams5201]

those are actually spot that you're using for bait not croaker. Awesome video keep it up!

[@googlemyfather]

As soon as he said gimme that head girl I went straight for the comments btw sub to my fishing channel GoogleMyFather want to drop the part 2 of my catch and cook

[@ianwells6278]

Badass video brother but I hope you know that first fish you threw was a spot fish not a croaker everyone makes the mistake but a spot is way different from a barking monkey aka croaker

[@richardcostello9062]

Where do you get croakers for 25 a dozen The guys by me in Fort Lauderdale want 75

[@bullito57]

what's the name of the bucket cover is bad ass.. where to find one thanks

[@FishingFloridaWithKO]

Like a boss 😎👍🎣

[@anthonybrown3241]

Nice work Bro! I'm beside myself right now... 🤩

[@javierpepin3154]

I'm new subscriber waooo impressive your job . Those rod you used are very strong?

[@daltonhodges5234]

I think your bait looked more like spots than croakers, spots are better bait anyway

[@shiestybdi9636]

Dude I work at a bait shop called cc’s bait shop and we sell crokar for 8 a dozen

[@newardor9650]

You can easily catch croackers yourself. Just use fishbait with a very small hook to catch them.

[@sticktoFL]

If croakers always produced days like that I’d say 12 is worth 40 easy lol

[@jmfishing86]

Croakers in my part if Texas are $12 a dozen. Also have no snook, get a real boat

[@KingKo0]

Chest mount camera needs to be adjusted. We can’t see anything but the water by the boat for most of the video.

[@dansarette101]

like like like like like!! What a day! Those Penn drags are so smoothe eh!
