Thanks...Brazil

[@rcnmasterplumber]

That was a nice sized Grouper

[@JETTIEROCKSFISHINGwithMIKED]

another bad ass video bro

[@phillydonlos8645]

Elias V shads killing the groupers too

[@bobateavlogs696]

Who would have thought that one of the best fishing youtubers would be a kayak fisherman! Keep up the good work

[@billrae4198]

PIG Grouper! Fun to watch

[@Tog_Tastic]

That spinfisher putting in WORK!

[@alexanderaguirre3345]

nice catch idol!

[@jeromewalton5553]

Nice catch!! And I see your buddy with the shearwater. My son and I have sea ghost 130s.

[@nickmaraveyias1185]

Groupers rock!

[@FaithNFishing]

Those Goliaths are pure muscle!!

[@andrewconnors5475]

What a hit that was!

[@GrimReaper68440]

Great rod bending action on light tackle. Putting them lite inshore rods and reels to the test. Take care. We down in Cali.

[@josephchristopher7534]

Innit time to head north? Spring's crackin on.

[@noahdubur2008]

Crazy spot

[@MakeTimeForFishing]

Man grouper jigging looks like so much. If I ever get a chance to try this I absolutely want to. Great video!

[@rdo6566]

Mane that grouper have to be one of the coolest looking fish to see! Nice job!

[@allanatthefishinglab]

I enjoy all of your content very much. I'm now a Patreon member

[@markkollman870]

Not going to find one of those on the Yaupon Reef are you. Nice day on the water. Florida fishing is magical.

[@EliasVFishing]

Haha! A good day on NC nearshore reefs is still up there in the top 5!

[@Yeeflex]

That was a huge grouper. Nice catch.

Hello Friend very good catch of goliath congratulations👍👍🤝🤝🙏🙏🎣🎣🎣

[@collinsadventuretv]

Great strike on the soft plastics....Are u using scent on the plastics? You should do a video on how to use soft plastic man...I am new to soft plastic jigging

[@anthonyroccojr4049]

Thanks for the new vid! My wife and I watched every CATCH AND COOK so far. Please give us one soon!!! Tight lines!

[@yungtugga2317]

Crazy to see grouper in shallower water like that

[@TridentDriver]

Epic Stuff!

[@TsunamiSam]

What a stud!!!!

[@johndalton1748]

Hmmm don't can't, try. Do!.. Young Elias as Yoda would say.

[@johnd3901]

Mirrodine XL up under the mangrove edges with current and shade. Speed of twitches and length of pause base off water temp. Should easily be a dozen or more snook in a half day with at least one if not more over slot using this recommendation. Also break out the topwater, my friend got a lot in choko this weekend even with this cold front biggest was 38

[@FattyMateo]

Would you launch from The Hole on the roadside? And if so, head NE towards the mouth of the river? Trying to figure out if I should be going towards the ocean. My kayak battery has a 7 mile range

[@stevetoth4765]

When are you coming back to the Port City? Enjoyed watching you catch all those Grouper.

[@mistergingerale9176]

Master angler.. thought he could be humble.. lol Comes from the city. Impressive. FISHERMAN. PERIOD. ZZZ.

[@genedeahl7453]

One of your best series. I watch them all too. Sorry to see you go home.

[@timconnors3211]

Elias your technique is flawless... excellent patience and deft touch to drag up that goliath. i learn so much watching you and these everglades videos are really great. Thanks for sharing. stay safe.

[@johngreen4861]

Blue crab scent on a swim jig?

[@dansarette101]

thoroughly enjoyed the whole series. Awesome catches! What model lowrance are you using?

[@thomasjarosz7406]

Elias, Show us the technique on jigging up Grooper. Awosome video. Keep them coming. Prayers sent for Meg,Elias. God bless

[@jasonfulton77]

Those are "the fun sizers". Once they get big enough they grab your catch and head straight to a breakoff point. They have again become the "taxmen in the marbled brown suit".

[@559vrod]

Gnarly fight on that grouper man. Nice

[@Andresureshot]

@EliasV ever thought about doing Merch.

[@EliasVFishing]

I make lures - you check the shads I used to catch this grouper?

[@stevesando6695]

Really fun to hear your comments when fighting those big ones. Keep it going, man.

[@nickgaiti8117]

These videos are nuts !

[@jamesh5460]

I'm done gonna go chase snooks.. that is so funny!

[@veronicastallings4213]

Great video! How long will you be in the keys?

[@stevenbest1133]

Jewfish. I got one about the size of that last big one at ft. Pierce inlet one night a few years ago. Yeah I kept it and man are they good.

[@catchingmoefish]

New name Gelias

[@davidterry6100]

They should have a slot on them! One a day they are so abundant and can be anoying at times but wow what a fun fight

[@Matt_732]

The pain in your voice saying "like, comment, and subscribe" !

[@SeaHunterFA]

Stunning the abundance of groupers every single drop.

[@aos7194]

grouper ate all the snook

[@KCsniper79]

The pullin them Goliath’s do damn they had your rod bent, awesome vid...🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@ctcraftii]

Thank you for allowing me to experience a little piece of the everglades!

[@MrEazyE357]

You were extra pessimistic in this one. Lol

[@robertcronin6714]

Elias congrat's on 100K subs, you certainly earned them. Seeing the shape of your leader [1:15] when you brought up that grouper from the mangroves made me realize how harsh the conditions can be. The rocks, barnacle covered bridges and old pilings up north have nothing on them.

[@reelsaltkitchen]

Elias - 5 Everglades - 0

[@curtisg.8671]

That Night Ranger rod!!! Heck of a rod there Elias. Such a blast watching you target those groupers.

[@monkeymanstones1]

Promise kept.

[@hebson21]

One time my grandpa caught two off a single pinfish in the mangroves back in the day. I caught a 14ish inch black grouper once and theyre so awesome. Cant wait to catch a jewwie.

[@ThatNoFbody-ch9ky]

How could he catch two off one circle Hooked pin fish

[@cliffart7398]

I am taking my yak out this weekend for the first time. Patuxent river in Maryland to start. going to head down to the Chesapeake at Solomons soon.

[@rocknut88]

Good luck! I'm originally from Gibson island Maryland now living in little river south carolina. Perch bite and spring striper should be biting now, as well as the chain pickerel!

[@daz4972]

Any odds you can say where you launched from?

[@ryanhainer2614]

You typically prefer to tie your leader to a barrel swivel versus a line to line knot?

[@jerseyfreshfishing6613]

I wish I could pick up on new areas so quickly. Great job!

[@609Fishing]

Elias V the Grouper Whisperer

[@michaelhornung7266]

Love that Wallop of the line “freight train “. Oh yes. Let’s you know u have something good on!! Keep up the good work.

[@jamesps7515]

Those jigging world rods are something man. Great video as always

[@PeterRanieriII]

Time to update the packaging on your extreme shads...

[@afout07]

How does a grouper fight compare to tautog? I've heard that tog might fight a little harder for their size but I'm wondering how true that is

[@southburgess4850]

Me and a buddy of mine plan on coming down the 1st week of April will be my first time fishing the glades any tips or things we need to know?

[@EliasVFishing]

Multiple GPS systems are a must if you are going to do mileage. DO NOT rely on a cell phone

[@raymondperales6612]

Nice grouper keep up the nice videos for everyone to ck out thanks.

[@jaspertrainor5792]

What’s up from Staten Island

[@edwin_alicea]

Was that out of Flamingo National Park ?

[@asmalldreamkunjuichay8237]

Hi bro...

[@chrisguice139]

From your experience do you have recommendations on quality kayak for big folks. Around 300 lbs

[@LightTackleEthusiast]

What pound test line do you use for large grouper?

[@stevenbest1133]

People should just have a look out system and start keeping them.

[@ThatNoFbody-ch9ky]

Yea that’s risking jail time and huge fines coming back to the boat ramp or launch and fwc comes up to you your fucked no look out when ur on the ramp

[@dansiegel1874]

Damn, those grouper are puting a hurting on you! Supposed to be the other way around! Reminicent of a few canyon trips I've had over the years where I say, "yup, enough tuna action for me!," only to drop another jig down and get worked for 20-25 minutes, begging for someone else to grab the rod. Nice trip you had down there. Safe travels.

[@sirfishslayer5100]

So where is the Goliath catch and cook? Those boys gotta taste good!

[@andrewhayes1420]

They are protected both federally and by the state of Florida. No catch and cook for the foreseeable future, my friend.

[@sirfishslayer5100]

@@andrewhayes1420 They way they were biting, they looked like an invasive species....a delicious one at that!

[@jameszibura]

"Fishing with Goliath". Cool to see them, but I really enjoy the diversity of what you usually catch. When the world allows, we need another vid with Mario!

[@mikeknottscreek8183]

Realizing I kept holding my breath while YOU were catching that big Goliath. haha!

[@cgvoxakis]

I liked, I am a subscriber, and here is my comment!

[@ericlo4519]

What a group of fish you caught.

[@FirinMahLazer1]

You're catching so many of those grouper I'm starting to wonder why they're considered "vulnerable".

[@SSHitMan]

IKR it's ridiculous they're the most common fish around now in places.

[@CP-rp7yp]

are there flounder in florida?

[@jimcollins2059]

Not sure if sticking your hand in the fishes gills is to smart?

[@juliefezy7254]

I live in hernando beach

[@emilio0247]

Dude, you probably cracked your seat from fighting that big grouper!!

[@SellsZac]

At some point they're going to have to open a limited season on goliaths, maybe have a 25-50lb slot limit or something. There are large sections I fish in Florida, especially on the shallow reefs, that they're cleaning out.

[@EliasVFishing]

Every local I spoke to down this way explained to me they have done a number on most other species.

[@SellsZac]

@@EliasVFishing they really hammer the baby snook and snapper that give inshore fishing it's desired variety.

[@KevinSmith-dn5he]

about 40 years ago they were everywhere and legal to harvest. I speared a bunch of them in those mangrove channels in the lower keys. Lots of fun. the 20 to 30 pounders were the best to put on the table.

[@KevinSmith-dn5he]

also Istill refer to them as jewfish ...

[@CP-rp7yp]

yeah goliath tacos really hit the spot

[@emilio0247]

I like 👍 “I’m done, I’m done”!! 😂😂

[@johnwysocki2445]

Does anyone use those new hook removers that they’re advertising? Supposed to safely remove hooks that are swallowed. Do they work? Thanks

[@cameronschweitzer3382]

Who else started watching when he was at 5k

[@kirkdavis2881]

That big dead tree was definitely a snook tree. Might needs pinfish or pilchards if it is pressured. Smaller baits so the goliaths aren't that interested.

[@goober698]

Those fish have become a real problem

[@Marss13z]

I've seen Goliaths bigger than me in the Glades and I'm 5'11". That one was impressive.

[@russseff1246]

Like jigging tog on steroids.

[@billdoane7841]

Back in the late 60s and 70s we used to keep a lot of grouper they’re delicious eating now with all those Goliath groupers are eating everything they should have a time to fish for them before they eat everything

[@stevehogan8829]

haha, I had a Meh, day on Monday. Wind was bothersome. man you are tearing those grouper up.

[@GilAcee]

How much punishment can you take?😂😂😂 I know that was awesome but the sounds coming out during the fight were borderline agony🤣. Thanks Elias

[@Talewavo]

what is this for a boat? where can i buy something like that ?

[@BostonFishin]

I see you switched over from no longer using barrel swivels for your leader. What knot your using for fluro to braid? Double uni? Epic vid

[@mgreene011]

Why didn’t you take at least one Grouper home to eat?

[@woodystemms3799]

Given the number of Grouper, there might not be any Trout or Redfish left down there. The small Grouper might be doing inshore what the larger ones have done to some reefs: eat them clean.

[@arrestor47]

this has been your best trips in a long time. Chance of you moving there?
