thanks for watching Tony

[@jackiefitzpatrick2906]

Good video , wish you showed inside of boat to see what it's like.

[@cousinjim1]

Thanks I'll keep that in mind for future videos.

[@davidyork751]

Hey jim, all i want to say is, the Grande is the best boat out there and the deck hands are unmatched and the captain is the best, he put us on the fish and didn't stop till the boat limited out on yellowtail in Bonita, the captain made sure everyone went home with limits, there were five of us we took home more than 200lbs of just meat, I will be back on the Grande.

Thats the way we like it Tight Lines

I’m waiting for the weather to warm up and I gotta get out there. How many times I seen this video I dunno. 60# line he was using I don’t think 80 or a 100# line wouldn’t make a difference lol. Yea I’m a fair weather fisherman I know I know 👏👏👏

[@cousinjim1]

it tough to know what line size you can get bit on and then also land the fish tight lines my friend

[@jbeagamgama7509]

Enjoy your videos, Cousin Jim.

Thanks for watching tight lines

[@cousinjim1]

@Blueskies Mine 25 yards 60# Fluorocarbon leader 100 yards 60# braid in blue and 80# Backing white so when the captain says they are at 300 feet I know approximately where my bait is at

Uncle Jim!

Everybody has a cousin in Miami

[@khuynh1441]

WTH!!! These guys pay good money to let the crew fight their fish the entire time. Sure, these BF are very strong but common dude do some pushup before you come out. :D

[@shigor]

I don’t let the crew fight my fish. $240 plus tip, waking up early and spending the whole day on the water just to hand the rod off so the deckhands can fight and land the fish. Actually, it’s not a hand off. The deckhands take the rod away from you and give you a high five when he lands the fish.

When was this? The blue fin reports haven't looked good since the 8th. Thank you!

[@cousinjim1]

May 13th I knew I was taking a chance on a full day verses a 1 1/2 day trip because the bite has been best at night tight lines

[@gutshotaz2805]

How heavy do you think it was?

[@cousinjim1]

[@cousinjim1]
