[@johna7334]

By far, my favorite episode! Awesome. Thanks

[@axsb]

awesome, showcasing the hybrid stripe bass! one of the best freshwater fish to catch!

[@youtubesuperstar6889]

I was waiting for a Florida striper vid for so long, good stuff keep it up 👍

[@chelenthal]

As we approach this year's run, this got me amped!

[@kyleblum3831]

I've been watching this channel for as long as I could remember. You guys make the best videos on the web!!!

[@ColorblindLIVE]

Thanks for watching!

[@jroyero]

Kyle i agree 💯

[@OTHF]

Blowing up my spots 😂😂😂😂

[@MRBOBBY8706]

Great video

[@tktf1404]

Love the show but I have a suggestion. I think it would be awesome if you did some shore or kayak fishing since they are both very popular types of fishing. I think you could really take the show to the next level if you did some kayak fishing or something. Nice video!

Stripers historically spawned in the Ocala National Forest freshwater springs.The eggs would flow from the ocklawaha river to the St. John’s river.When the Rodman damn was built in the 60’s they doomed the reproduction of stripers.Striper eggs needs 60+ miles of flowing river to survive.They built a dam in the middle of that flow.Thats why stripers are now stocked in Florida.Remove the dam and restore the flow of the St. John’s and Florida will have viable numbers of stripers again.In Maine a dam recently gave way.A number of anadromous fish are spawning there already, in prestine spawning grounds they haven’t been able to visit for 200 years.

[@ColorblindLIVE]

Thanks for the comment. How cool is that

[@sonnyeast3862]

CBM LIVE if the Rodman damn wasn’t built, you’d be catching stripers at sebastian inlet.

[@my31and37]

Great video...Of course I'm sure you guys would much rather be sitting in an office like I am instead of out fishing!

[@barackoli5930]

Nice catches

[@finnafishfl]

Frothing over this video and I've seen it three times! I need a striped bass and an American shad

[@djdrez]

whats the name of the song at the end? Another great episode George and crew. Keep up the great work!!!

[@davecfishing7907]

love puzzle lake been doing well there

[@WeekendPirate]

beautiful Area. I need to visit and fish there sometime.

[@kfs4869]

Awesome video, great info. What's was the weight/size of the shad dart you guys were using?

[@Indiscriminance]

Apparently, there's quite a few "poor man's Tarpon". Excellent episode, I love ultralite and have wanted to run up there and do this for years. The horses must have put this trip over the top. Anyone know of a good shad area that can be fished on foot up there?

[@GotchaFishing]

Good job!

[@chronicawareness9986]

11:10 so you can easily go shroom picking on those pastures if you have a boat? got it

[@Bathrobedwane]

yes actually, idk about this one specifically but in Osteen florida lemonbluff road boatramp. there is a peninsula with cows right off of the same river I have gotten several pounds from that field growing up as a kid and if they are fresh you cannot be arrested for having them. you can however be arrested for trespassing on that field though so be careful.

[@brettschneider8521]

You deserve more subs

[@southfloridafishing2103]

Same here lol

[@brettschneider8521]

+South Florida Fishing you just gained a sub good vids

[@southfloridafishing2103]

+Brett Schneider thanks same to you

[@brettschneider8521]

+South Florida Fishing =D

[@FloridaBoyGrizz]

St. John's river was the first place I ever fished!! Great fishery!

[@alechatcher8884]

George, great videos! Been a huge fan for a long time and wanted to know that song you use at the end of the video, Thanks.

[@mpdye05]

Fresh catch - never better

[@alechatcher8884]

+mpdye05 Thanks!

[@justadumbfarmer4744]

Good way to get caught by an alligator, holding a baitfish right at the waterline. Instead of the tip of your finger it might be the tip of your arm.

[@manisi134]

DOUBLE RAINBOW!

[@DGXJ94]

Good old puzzle lake area

[@dink321ek]

I have a great snook and tarpon bite from shore in brevard county, if ur game look me up on facebook and we'll rip some lips.I just caught a over slot on a Pearl white gulp shrimp from a popping cork. usually catch them on d.o.a anything but I'd love to fish with ya even with out the camera would be fun, I'm a big fan... tight lines!!!

[@lilblairjr193]

A lady fish is the poor mans tarpon.

[@samdebartolo6216]

up north we call em wipers

[@CuttingEdge49]

You still haven’t caught a striper.

[@finnafishfl]

The FWC stocks true striped bass along with the hybrids in the river

[@fisherman8as]

Shad are fish food where I come from, not something you go out to catch

[@fisherman8as]

These things are not like shad in the midwest
