Our Plan Worked to Perfection!

[@newbiefishing7775]

Good to see yall fishing together again! Miss those old competition videos lol

[@Laproduceman]

Good to see your son with you. Wait until he starts having you some grandkids he won’t have any free time. My son comes with me twice a year and he makes sure I have the fish locked in. But what I can’t wait for to get the grandkids out there and put a smile on their faces and hopefully get them hooked. But it will be a few years they’re just too young boys 3-1/2 and 5-1/2. I’ll never forget the time Joel dropped his rod at the trestle. A few days later David and I were in Academy David finds a pool noodle and goes up to Joel behind the gun counter and says you might need one of these for your rod. The face Joel made go get F’ed 😂.

Lol. I remember that episode.

[@johnfontenot7861]

That was a great episode!

[@media1groupDC]

Good to see holy joely guacamole back in da boat! Nice trip boys

[@jimhahn2728]

That was some spectacular fishing! You made my birthday a treat! I would love to come home and fish this time of year! All around the Chef and Lake Catherine is pretty good too. You made me homesick again. Thanks! Of course, you had your good luck charm with you.

[@adamsw2424]

Caught well over 50 last weekend in Hopedale. Chatterbait and gold spoon. Most fish VERY close to the grass

[@speckledtruth4577]

Great to see you and Joel fishing together

[@BigjayB]

Good to see big Joel back on the boat! Big Joel is in the building lol. Great video as always. Joel, Todd and Cmac are like the 3 musketeers!

[@RickyVargasIII]

So awesome! Glad to see Joel back on the boat with ya! Awesome to see the pile of reds you been catching!

[@JamesBrown-uz3sf]

Awesome guys! Nothing better than fishin with your daddy or your son! Great video

[@DManBreaux]

Great video, Todd. Thanks for sharing. Wish i had time to run down to Hopedale, but I'm stuck fishing Rigolets area.

[@rhkeller3]

Thanks, welcome back Joel!

[@seanmccoy6967]

Great to see Joel again and judging by some of your previous competitions, I think MMM would have had to clean the boat on this one.

[@MarshManMasson]

Yeah, I think you’re right about that!

[@marshpirate2924]

Thanks for the video. I usually fish way too late into twilight and have to feel my way back to the ramp.

[@htxfish8651]

Love ur vids! 5+ yrs of watching you fish and we really don’t know ya. Would be cool vid telling us a little about you.

[@rvalentino132]

Nice! Thanks for sharing! Curious why you’re thinking you won’t be spending much time around Rigolets this year as opposed to other years?

[@24-7flounderproblem]

The dynamic duo ❤😊

[@fishinwithferg6048]

I must’ve just missed you guys. I fished a feature that looked just like that.

[@looneylonzo28]

Great video so far just curious if you went north or south of the rock dam.

[@shanehamilton6708]

I’m catching a bunch of reds up the pearl river, small and big

[@SaltyVet87]

awesome video man

[@johngibby]

I won't name the spot but I bet fished I bet that same area in the morning the next day. Specks were everywhere.

[@looneylonzo28]

17:57 you just said you don’t know why, but you really do know why they are the slot fish that’s the fish that everybody wants to bring home. You just said it yourself you don’t want to bring anything big home you don’t want anything small people need to start bringing home larger fish. The worms are really not a problem you either cook it thoroughly or you freeze the meat.

[@MarshManMasson]

Those are the fish everyone has wanted to bring home since the reg changes in the ‘80s, but until recent years, there were plenty. So something else is at play.

[@steele5048]

It isn’t the recreational fisherman who fish once a week and that’s for sure. I also no 20 people who love redfish but for some reason will only keep 16”-20”. I’ve had people in my family turn down redfish because they were 22”. It’s a weird mindset that people need to stop. I’ve cleaned a decent bit of 27-32 and have never found a worm.

[@georgestuart5669]

Joel!

[@getthenet1015]

ole Joel!

[@dontrump9362]

20” red is the best! Throw it on the grill scale side down. I will be heading down to louisiana this fall to do a little marsh fishing. Bring back some specs and red fish. Hello from Florida! Enjoyed the video ole boy! Have a great weekend. 👍🇺🇸🙏

[@bluetick8311]

What kind of speeds you seeing in the 19 xb.

[@MarshManMasson]

I cruise at 42 mph at 4500 rpm

[@bluetick8311]

@@MarshManMasson cool thanks.

[@gd3design63]

What were you calling those marsh drains? Trenosh?

[@RomanMoroniesFargingWall]

Trenasse is a Cajun French word for the little cut throughs in a marsh.

[@ClintonDAshley]

Why does a "super high tide" not help shoreline fishing? Do the reds go too far back in the grass?

[@marshpirate2924]

Yes, you will hear them chasing prey way out in the grass.

[@MarshManMasson]

Redfish seem to always want to go as shallow as they can

[@bigjspec]

U want reds watch One Of The Pack he gives GPS numbers where he is killing reds this month 2:29

[@dkimble9151]

Hurricane Ida. That's the main reason for the current generation gap. We probably lost a huge portion of the spawn from 2021.

[@MarshManMasson]

LDWF numbers consistently show the decline began before Ida.

[@GiornoEugenio]

First!

[@steele5048]

Lol nobody knows why the 16-20” reds are missing yet every single person you talk to says I only keep 16-20” reds. There is nothing wrong with keeping larger redfish, this bad meat/worm misconception needs to go. Have only seen worms in reds 35”+, but never in the 32” and smaller I’ve cleaned.
