Keep it up! you are my favorite freshwater fishing channel.

[@lukesealey8396]

Bro what

[@scottmichael3745]

Is that supposed to be a joke? He's fishing inshore, aka, saltwater.

[@mylesswisher1660]

None of you guys watch thresher and it shows 😂

[@bobmuchler]

@@mylesswisher1660 8m a thresher fan.

[@pdoty13]

Hahaha @thresherfishing comin in hot

[@dougharlow6037]

Glad to see others using Fenwick fishing rods. I’ve been using Fenwick fishing rods since 1970, All types, HMG, casting, spinning, fly, light and heavy duty. Fun video thanks

[@grantwilson4985]

This is a reoccurring story for me, Florida weather is unpredictable and a practical hurricane-type storm can slam you at any moment.

[@justin_menendez]

yup!

[@andrewmoore5243]

Don’t like Florida then get fuck out

[@robertschreen9854]

Just found you and your content my dude. Definitely impressed with all your videos and your skills. Awesome stuff my man.

[@willw.5408]

Mullet videos-best videos

[@John_Smith_727]

Bro, west coast fish are so spooky. Never get that close! So jealous 😫

[@ajheydet7404]

fr i’ll be spooking redfish 60 feet away

[@hookedonthebay3890]

Seriously over here in Tampa Bay you gotta be ultra stealthy

[@carolinacrappie]

Sweet fish eats! Tarpon were going NUTS!

[@wbrady8208]

i absolutely love these snook and tarpon vids

[@STinGa157]

Goat love that Florida weather and playing chase with the storms. 😆

[@williamcolville4384]

Nicely handled on the first tarpon

[@ryderwolf2393]

Never ever ever gets old.

[@fmcatfishchamp]

Great video Justin. I always appreciate your content.

[@anglingthe801]

Easily the best part of my week!

[@thumpman]

I rarely ever get to fish saltwater and those blow ups are insane. I thought a bass could slam a bait but I couldn’t imagine feeling that thump. All your videos are badass, I’ll have to get down there and try this out at least once or twice in my life.

[@justin_menendez]

Thanks for watching!!

[@scottmichael3745]

I grew up freshwater fishing for 30 plus years in the Midwest. Moved to Florida in 2010. I'm never going back to freshwater fishing...

[@northdakotadriver5714]

Another great video!

[@hardywhite1060]

Great video

[@steveokoren4059]

Hey Justin, I like how you handle fish by not taking them out of the water. 👍

[@justin_menendez]

thank you!

[@brendancarter1558]

Can't take tarpon out of the water anyway

[@redsky8509]

yes I enjoy your videos. I just purchased a Gheenoe, good to see how it handles and how you can use it to get fish.

[@ArcherFish]

good stuff. love those eats!

[@blackbirdfpv1981]

Nice fish they have been busting hard core . Need to find some time to get out their soon

[@matthewprettyman7662]

Sooooo topwater sess???? Love to see it! Great video buddy!

[@thecooperkids3457]

I’m been trying to catch a snook for 2 years and caught one cause you thx

[@EGCarGuys]

great video!

[@kenbrannphotography]

That water looks crystal clear for a cloudy day. I need to find a bridge near here to drop my camera in the water to get some underwater video. It's amazing how close you are getting to them with your boat.

[@RustyReels]

Good action!

[@dirtyharry7616]

just picked up one of those fenwick rods the hmg boron awesome rod for 120$ its a solid blank not a tube cant wait to try it if this wind ever lays down

[@lowcountrytobackcountryins3049]

Can't go wrong with live mullet!

[@chrisjones720]

Man I want a Gheenoe so bad man , looks like a game changer !

[@jrock4264]

I live in jax fl hopefully this year I can take a trip down south and get on my first snook or tarpon😅

[@whitneyk5926]

Man it got dark over there quick must of been this past week smh it’s terrible right now with the wind …. I finally got my PB 33 inch snook on NLBN lil mullet

[@babyfacemick]

dope

[@FoodPornNetwork]

Pineda ramp? Nice fish!

[@evansurfs3811]

🔥

[@CBonesey]

Do the live mullet videos ever really get old? No, no they don’t.

[@joehammond4203]

Great video. Thank you. Quick question. Which Fenwick Elite Inshore rod are you using? I just purchased a Spinfisher 5500 and would like to pair it with a rod similar to yours. It looks like they have a 7'6" for 3/4-2.5oz, 8' for 3/4-3oz, and 8' for 2-5oz. Thank you!

[@user-ye7cx2ko9j]

Yo love the video we’re did you catch the tarpon because I’m in Boca grand right now

[@hookedonthebay3890]

3:35 you can clearly hear the difference between a giant snook and a tarpon. Once you hear a big snook blow up you cannot unhear it!!!

[@mitchellschlee]

What bag is that bro?

[@duffyluffy97able]

Try owner mutu hooks or tournament mutu hooks. Not the light mutu not the super mutu. The right gap and right hook strength I'd say you got lucky that hook stayed in while that open

[@The_PNW_Mountaineer]

What pound test is the Fleuro leader?

[@kadenobrien4310]

How much did that gheenoe rig cost that thing is so sick I would love one for myself

[@angeloquintana8057]

What happened to that new boat you had?

[@justin_menendez]

It was a sponsorship, boat got returned and they’re building me a new one that I will have for longer.

[@bobbyenriquez6373]

Hey just great video you slayed the fish but what’s the brand of the bag you used throughout fishing

[@justin_menendez]

Bote Highwater

I think it’s Penn

[@andymei3211]

Hey guys i need some help. I went fishing yesterday for tarpon there was a ton of them. I was using doa terroreyez as bait but i got no hit what is the cost ? I jerk and jig the bait

[@angeloquintana8057]

Depends where you were fishing at. Try live bait

[@andrewthomas405]

Hello Justin I wish to fish Florida is it possible to hire canoes for a couple of weeks and what areas would you surest in the limited time of two weeks would you recommend. I know your a busy boy but it would be helpful Kind regards andy thomas 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Do you need a permit for canoe?

[@justin_menendez]

Bote Highwater and yes I believe so.

[@hookedonthebay3890]

I know you hear this all the time but you could go straight into top level guiding or chartering. You are worth more than the average guide who takes people out to catch 25 small snook, 15 small trout and 11 redfish. You could be a legit trophy guide.

[@johnconnolly3635]

We’re are y fishing?

[@petertittle7624]

Justin where in florida do you fish. Jacksonville or Vero beach

[@sharkmollmeyer]

Melbourne area.

[@petertittle7624]

@@sharkmollmeyer Thanks i live in port st lucie and my son lives in Jacksonville. So when i go up to see him its hard to find a good spot to fish since hes only been there a year now hes from vero beach and we know all the hot spots there. Once again thanks for taking the time to respond and keep the videos coming love them. If i buy a hat on your Merch store would you sign it for me.

That outboard doesn't sound real good or is it just the audio through the 🤳 camera? Is that a non- carbureted motor? Anouther great video justin, keep em coming....
