[@drewvh776]

Definitely one of the best quality as of vision I have seen at night usually night fishing videos are really bad quality but not this one

[@FloBass]

So dope, Justin! You've got me pumped to start targeting big ass snook.

[@Bolanksakti]

Fishing is very good, one of my hobbies is from Indonesia 🤝🎣🎣🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩

[@c3slayzz]

what a banger🔥🔥 those snook where the current was ripping were studs

[@julianlupo2745]

"Ive never seen a snook resist a mullet...." WELCOME TO THE WEST COAST! lol west coast snook know what time it is.

[@hookedonthebay3890]

HAHA exactly! Mullet is last for snook bait over here. West coast snook don't really care for them.

[@aaronhiggs]

Gotta get some white bait or shrimp. Lol

[@captofthe7279]

West coast snook ain’t stupid lol

[@cam6537]

Frfr but some of those giants over here love cut frozen mullet

[@MetalRush666]

[@korylanham7998]

Bro night fishing is always wild! People think dock light fishing is easy but not always! Sickkk

[@aircooledjoe1657]

Welcome to the west coast! Love catching snook over here!

[@joshmcmahan7335]

Love this, you killed the night video. I would like to see more of this content, especially the dock light footage.

[@SeabassAdventures]

Those docks were loaded with snook! Great video! 🤙

[@cyclonedronz7861]

Bomber! Nice nite fishin'!

[@Rockhead81]

BRO Yall Did Steller job filming this at night 🤘🏼 Loved This Style Vid...

[@kateskrmetta2022]

That dock lights footage was insane !!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼💥💥💥

[@johnbutoutside3920]

sick vid as always Justin!

[@stevestory8483]

Awesome video !!!

[@DamiensOutdoors]

That Tarpon fight looked awesome! I'm still on the hunt for my first.

[@CatchingDinosaurs]

pretty insane ill be in florida on the west coast beginning of next month trying to learn as much as i can by watching videos now

[@jarodwaldman3303]

Killin it justin... you are on a roll with your vids. Keep up the good hard work. 🤘👍🤘

[@ReelinTension]

Man fishing dock lights are one of my favorite things to do. Looks like y’all had a blast

[@captainandrewcrabtree6535]

Nice stuff man... dock light fishing is a blast for sure! 🤙

[@harrykrukenberg5150]

Great video...again! That big tarpon was trying to sink the gheenoe!

[@jmowens69]

Really killer night time shots especially the snook chilling in the current.

[@justin_menendez]

Thank you!!

[@EricTapio]

Grew up fishing dock lights in naples! Cast the shadow line not directly into the light. Great content brother keep it up!

[@lureup9973]

I absolutely dig night fishing!..I go after striper during the spring alewife spawn in Tennessee....those tarpon were the bomb!

[@austina-8875]

Love the vids also he was clearing out the water box

[@Phucking_puto]

That light set up on your head kills me 🤣 good job on the fish man! Keep it up!

[@PhongZZ]

At the green lights they are like that...they have their moments of surge feedings. What works for me at green light is Yo-zuri SP lures swimming really fast. Also figure 8 technique works well if you stand on the docks.

[@tarponhippie]

#notifsquad. Gonna be a banger🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I'd love to fish with you one day brother!

[@justin_menendez]

lets goo

[@TEXASANGLER_NOBADDAYZ]

[@eastcoastoutdoors902]

Never been to the west coast before I really want to do some Docklight fishing with a fly rod there💯🔥

[@aaronhiggs]

Dock light snooks are insane.

[@jeremyyarboro5460]

What dock was that I live in cape coral

[@23streetsoldier]

You in the west coast now. Snook knows the deal here lol.

[@joshvignolini1]

whered you launch that late at night?

[@hookedonthebay3890]

Haha! Dude here on the west coast snook don't give a crap about mullet 9/10 times, though I have made it work. Big pinfish and ladyfish is where it's at.

[@justin_menendez]

😂 learned that in 5 minutes

[@cmoecher]

live skrimp was needed

[@EmmyGladez]

Yoooo finally you came over here! You should check out my buddy (10k Erick) on YT. He fishes in the islands. You inspired us to get gheenoes 😎

[@c3slayzz]

Weightless skrimp is key

More night fishing from now on right

[@isaiahtorres920]

What shrimp lure was that 🤔

[@bradyjohnson6305]

I do 🔥vid bro the edits are amazing

[@thesupremefishingteam585]

Swfl baby I’m from Arcadia, desoto county to be exact u don’t get any better brackish water fishin

[@nickrubbo2407]

I’ve literally fished the ledge of that spot 100 times

[@joshvignolini1]

is your cast net a panel net and what brand?

[@justin_menendez]

I’m not sure but it’s a Tim wade cast net

[@joshvignolini1]

@@justin_menendez thanks for letting me know!

[@theavrgjoe8656]

I like how they put the boat right Infront of the snook but expect the snook to wait the bait? Lol they’re already worry of the boat. Not worried about the lure anymore. Lol

[@cam6537]

Had to wait a whole day before I could watch this bc my gf dragged me to Ohio to see her fam lmao and I can’t even fish while I’m here smh but come to boca we can put you on fr

[@c3slayzz]

thought u said 5:30🤨 been waitin an hour

[@justin_menendez]

sorry!!

[@c3slayzz]

@@justin_menendez no problem bro i was just hyped for the vid

[@markfulwood7415]

Oh yeah, my biggest light tackle Tarpon , 101lbs, Old Shakespeare Wonder Rod, Mitchell 300, 15 lb Pink Ande, catching Ladyfish for bait... what??

[@daltoncastile3526]

The guy ran his jet ski out of the water to pump out all the saltwater left in the system. If he doesn’t do that then it will eat the water pump and jet.

[@MW3azz]

Use ethanol free fuel Justin!

[@justin_menendez]

I do most of the time haha

[@mambo47911]

Southwest Florida sucks for fishing. Stay away 😁 Dope ass video @justin. Welcome to my local fisheries 🤟

[@tarpon120kayakfishing4]

Maybe you just suck at fishing 😂

[@Bolanksakti]

Fishing is very good, one of my hobbies is from Indonesia 🤝🎣🎣🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩

[@WatAboutJane3899]

Those snook are only eating minnows, spawning season for both fish. Bait and snook. Makes em a lot harder to catch.

[@Betheblake]

I have always had better luck fishing on the outside of snook lights and not right in the middle

[@jamiebexley7125]

Who's the loser that gave this a thumbs down!?

[@landongibson5848]

[@justin_menendez]
