BFS Fishing Miami Canals for Exotic Fishes

[@pacman_17]

Florida is a fishing paradise. So many exotic fish in their waters. BFS is great for pressured fish. Every fish feels twice as big on BFS. 🤣

[@rawrfishing]

Ohhhh yeahhhhh u wanna see some insane barramundi catches on bfs? ;)

[@pacman_17]

@@rawrfishing I'd love to see more exotic Florida fish. Even species people don't target. BFS catches them all. 🤣

[@rawrfishing]

They sure do! Imma bfs the crap out of my salt world too soon

[@gregchilders7643]

Them Florida fish are showing you no love.shaking a lure to the face and spitting and breaking you off.kind of reminds you of the pickerel back home lol

[@rawrfishing]

Lol they don't like me indeed! And there's Crack head poop under palm trees lol

[@joepicasso69]

I just lived vicariously through you! So much fun!

[@rawrfishing]

Hehe thx mate! Glad you have enjoyed the trip! But if u ever get a chance, go Miami!

[@JoeHazlet]

You looked like you had an exciting time fishing in Florida. Thanks for taking the time to show us the action. Be blessed. My friend.

[@rawrfishing]

It was definitely a blast! I love Florida :) more videos to come from icast!

[@noahwood8615]

Your videos have helped me so much on ultralight fishing so thank you!!!

[@rawrfishing]

You are very welcome. After the fishing season slows down a bit, I will be making a few more videos that will build my educational library up :)

[@repairdrive]

That was pretty exciting! Florida bass fishing is definitely on my bucket list

[@rawrfishing]

It's a must go to for everyone indeed! So many different species to catch, it's insane, thx for watching

[@Ben06608]

The second fish is known as a jaguar cichlid!

[@rawrfishing]

Yeah I looked it up, the Jaguar guapote

[@yep.fishing]

Yea very popular aquarium species too

[@rathammonculler6455]

Congrats on the jaguar cichlid.

[@rawrfishing]

Thx mate. The Jaguar guapote is so cool!

[@andylee128]

That trapon fighting/playing looked so fun on bfs gear lol😂

[@rawrfishing]

It was super fun! I will share some barramundi fights soon! It's insane

[@IronMikeyT]

lol what a crazy sesh!! the thoughts of gators didnt help one bit also

[@rawrfishing]

The lady at Wendy's was serious. She left the counter to show me the photos of gators that passes by lol...

[@marcusdavis6963]

Good fishing Jimbo🤙🏾

[@rawrfishing]

Thx my man

[@TheHunterFisher]

Hooked into a tarpon right there! Was crazy

[@rawrfishing]

It was epic! We need more pencils!

[@ronaldyeater3322]

Sup jimmy, that's awesome, ivev been around canals around Miami, even tamani? Canal.. Walmart ultralight combo $12🤣😂, but cought many diff we went chiclets, cought a peacock almost broke rod, a clown fish? many beautiful fish didn't know what was🤷, beautiful fish make ways into canals, ssry got excited, think deep breaths, in, out,... I lost combo, saw huge snake, and 3 baby gators, was terrified so I split🤷, know what that fish list was? Chiclets and tilapia drive you crazy but great fight, see any snakes or gators? Got close to bank that's not when want to see one🤣😂, ssry, this was awesome and memories I can never relive, some areas, even around shopping centers can put traps and catch exotic fish.. but after gator babies I was out, not fighting a python either lol. Nice peacock, and another, fight like champions👊, another Chiclet, can't believe no tilapia where couch peacock's, another, scary near bank, awesome video again, got excited.. bro so many many memories of single days lol. Tyvm tc 🎣

[@rawrfishing]

Lol.. Yah those cheap stuff can break sometimes but it's better than bringing ur expensive rods from home as checking those in cost a lot. I had my multi piece rods and it was fantastic! I hope u get to go back to fish it again :) I wanna go back already!

[@ronaldyeater3322]

@@rawrfishing beautiful there, and really amazing fish, I can't walk more than 50 feet or so now and stand lol, is a dream still somehow, only 50 so🤷, saw traps get aquarium fish down even in a parking lot lol. I was amazed at whole experience. Glad you got to go. Brought us on adventure 👍

[@rawrfishing]

Could always hire a guide and be on a boat ;)

[@ronaldyeater3322]

@@rawrfishing I did look into that, a lot on coast come through to brackish waters then fresh.. with implanted Dilaudid device the alarm goes off on salt water or choppy water, hospital asap, one did have a pontoon boat could take me, wasn't close enough to trauma unit, flying have to only land where trauma unit, lot research.. wanted to fish jersey, have to go ways trauma units on route, gets depressing so I stop looking, and my 89 year old mother in Jersey haven't seen in years, getting new pump implant cuz only lady 5-8 years, always different, see what technology brings.. thinking positive bro. Might see Mon, then off knock on your door, then down south lol. Always hope, can't just stop, you've encouraged me after last big setback few years ago👍. Giving up is very bad..

[@rawrfishing]

that is rough, but definitely don't give up! could always fish the Barramundi fish farm ponds! I got that episode coming woot woot!

[@oxfordlureangler9592]

Awesome jimmy 👏 🎣

[@rawrfishing]

thx! it's always fun to fish in Florida! I gotta do it again this year!

[@andysmith7547]

Awesome Peacock Bass! Good job

[@rawrfishing]

Thx mate! Id go back in a heart beat lol

[@davidwilliams1805]

Great video as always! You did a really good job out there. Those fish were beautiful! Thanks again for sharing and taking us along. Keep up the good work! And as always, #raWrFishing rocks!!!

[@rawrfishing]

Thx dude. This trip was totally epic and I wanna get more opportunities to get back down south!

[@HomesteadOnThePreserve]

I've been waiting for you to experience the wonders of South Florida canals! So much fun indeed. I was routing for you to catch a Bullseye Snakehead the entire time but that's ok, you caught a great variety! Sorry you lost that little tarpon, would have been great showing people that one. Remember the fight then imagine what fighting a 100 lb one would be like!

[@rawrfishing]

Hehe.. I actually have some older videos. But I have also gone with 1rod1reel before I cared so much about filming. Fun fact: Most of 1rod1reel and extreme Philly fihsing Florida fishing spots came from yours truly during their earlier KZbin careers :p

[@HomesteadOnThePreserve]

@@rawrfishing Very cool!

[@kelvinyu339]

As a native to South Florida we tend to forget how much premium fishing we take for granted. Here's to tight lines and screaming reels.

[@rawrfishing]

you got a ton of good fishing for sure! I miss florida already, ponds and lakes are frozen here lol. tight lines bud!

[@kweeks10045]

BFS reminds me of something in Amateur (HAM) radio. It's called operating QTP, which means "low power". You can still make lots of contacts or catch lots of fish, but it takes everything lining up perfect to catch a whale. The "system" has to be fine tuned and built correctly and there better be a sprinkle of luck in there too. BFS in saltwater is interesting. I buddy of mine caught a small sailfish on his bass baitcaster and 10lb mono.

[@rawrfishing]

It's just finesse fishing and it's super fun

[@RexGoesFishing]

Im a little late but nice catches! Wouls love to bfs fish in florida 😂

[@rawrfishing]

Video is still fresh :p. Bfs fishing world wide, here comes Jimbo

[@edgarcruz5524]

I have good luck with a cricket lure on a micro ned rig for tilapia

[@rawrfishing]

Sweet! Like a rebel cricket crank?

[@edgarcruz5524]

I use the soft plastic cricket from big bite baits

[@19ZOLTAN18]

Nice amazing beautiful fish? What size jig head were you using?

[@rawrfishing]

Thx... Which specific lure? Lol 1/16th Oz Jig around size 4 is my usual for my small lures.

[@19ZOLTAN18]

@@rawrfishing The second lure. Looks like a zman shad fry.

[@rawrfishing]

I used their micro finesse shroom Jig head 1/15th oz! 👍👍

[@19ZOLTAN18]

@@rawrfishing thanks bro. Both you and lurecafe japan inspired me to start BFS fishing. I’m great at spinning but a noob at baitcasting. First ever cast on my okuma ceymar odt bfs i got a birds nest haha. I’m also not used one handed casts. Have you got a video on how to cast?

[@rawrfishing]

i sure do! Magnetic braking reels are easy to learn! Here is one for the Tatula 100 kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3zQfWirgbuCacU And to prove what I have said above is true for all magnetic reels, Here's a casting session of the Abu Garcia Black Max4 using the same technique portrayed in the first video to break down a reel's braking system and explore it! kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYSyfZqjq9ZnjNU

[@lukeholloway7836]

greatest rule when traveling bring a rod and a lil takel box

[@rawrfishing]

I always have a travel rod and reel and a few lures indeed. I even have one in my wife's car lol

[@rougaroux2359]

Rawr those Peacock Bass are extremely fun to catch. Just wondering have you ever tried what I call the panfish baits from Googan? If ya have what are your thoughts on them? Hope you and the fam are doing great.

[@rawrfishing]

They are! I did the swimbait before it was released while fishing with 1 rod 1 reel. They break so easy. There are many other stuff that works better! I prefer the Eurotackle bvibe and Z-Man shad Fryz for the swimbait stuff. Exploring the new stuff coming out soon from zman!

[@pequenioedgarito3067]

Googan is just bland. More of marketing than anything They are sub par.

[@suddenlyfishing]

wow nice video😍💝💝💖

[@rawrfishing]

Thx I appreciate it 👍👍

[@christopherlee4613]

2nd fish is a Menegueisie Chichlid or usually called Jaguar Chichlid.

[@rawrfishing]

Yes, I looked it up and they call it the Jaguar guapote here

[@JerseyFishing20]

What reel handle is that? I have the SLX BFS that should use the same size as the Curado right?

[@rawrfishing]

That's a handle From gomexus. It should be the same for sure. They got a lot of options, check em out

[@Shhhhhhleepy]

Hey, I was wondering what reel handle is on your curado. I’ve been looking for a handle replacement could you tell me the name of the brand?

@@Shhhhhhleepy it's a gomexus. I don't remember which model... But they got tons.

Dude , my hat off to you Jimmy to fish in these small ponds and drains knowing that there are gators in the water ❤❤❤❤❤. You got big ass ballz than @mikeballzyfishing

[@rawrfishing]

Lol, it is a bit scary... Too bad 1rod1reel took down one video of me lipper gripping one for him.. That thing was like probably 50 or 60 lbs lol

[@af4od02]

Do you have to have an “out of state” Florida fishing license to fish these little ponds?

Yes! I bought one for it.

You can buy a Florida fishing license even if you don’t live here
