Rod & Reel ?

[@jcmoye1]

Man this guy needs his own Channel!! Best catch and landing of a tarpon and strategy I have ever seen!!

[@mukhtarjaballa8800]

It's really clear instructions and so informative

[@Saltstrong]

💪💪

[@Prone-Ski_BX]

Man, Hollywood needs his own channel. Or at least appear on this one more. He has good charisma.

[@claytonyoung9941]

totally agree

[@tomlockwood6599]

Now , THAT'S my kind of captain! I wasn't fishing and still learned a ton. Next time I go to the keys, I'll be looking you up.

[@OMOLMentoringinc]

Yes coming dwn to charter w Hollywood

[@RocnAtl]

This Captain knows his stuff 1000%. I learned something for when I go Tarpon fishing.

[@sizzyp3324]

One of my favorites from the Salt Strong family . Hollywood ! I’m a fan of them all but Hollywood’s energy is the best .

[@spraym88]

Hollywood is a BADASS! Joe and Luke are some of the baddest dudes out there! If Hollywood is coaching one of them, you know he's REAL DEAL 💯💪🏼💯💪🏼💯

[@RichM0410]

Have observed an extra interest on my part with this captain. Keep his involvement in videos it will ensure more views and therefore customers.👍

[@Saltstrong]

Noted!

"There are no nibbles in Big Fish World". 😆

[@andy374]

What really distinguishes Hollywood from other vids, guides, & fishermen is he's "coaching". Explaining everything he's doing and why with outstanding communication, genuine desire to educate, & confidence from years of knowkedge. I hope to have half his skills when teaching my 10yo daughter, & if not to learn patience enough to teach the grandchildren, lol.

[@RocnAtl]

Excellent instructional video by the Captain 💪🏽💯

[@jeffp7454]

Outstanding video 🙌 By far the most detailed and descriptive video I've seen on youtube. I'm a subscriber after that video.

[@Saltstrong]

Glad to hear it was helpful!!

[@markfulwood7415]

Six thumbs down I think they just clicked on the wrong video maybe they were looking for a sewing channel or something cuz that was just awesome

[@coreyhoo8712]

Man's hollering at the camera sheesh

[@Hisslave1]

That comes from daily hollering at yankee clients to turn the reel over and quit tightening the drag.

Wow, great catch

[@evanm.4774]

The article doesn't specify rod details. Just match it up for 30# main line and 2-3 oz lure weight?

[@michaelvotaw5298]

Skipper contact would like to charter with him. Thc. Thanks for a great vid

[@oscarcasanova9150]

Great vid guys! Im getting ready for my 1st Tarpon hunt. You said a few times, "Get ready for the jump", can you please explain what exactly do you do on your end with the rod in anticipation for his jump?

Great video cap

[@Saltstrong]

Glad you enjoyed

[@thegentleman1541]

I see some monster tarpon at the boat ramp swimming around the pilings. I'm going to try this today to see what I get.

[@SouthFloridaFishingClub]

Probably wrapped around the pilings 😂🤣

[@dougattridge2495]

Great video.

[@stevekline3462]

On your knocker rig, do you use a swivel or tie the braid to the leader?

[@ramirorivera4993]

Awesome. Did you guys catch the tarpon on the butterfly mullet? Or it was one of the live mullet. Beautiful video.

[@grantbagwell8092]

Butter

[@ts51]

Love these videos! Curious as to the rod? I see what I think is an 8000 series reel... maybe it was mentioned but I didnt catch it? Thanks.

[@Saltstrong]

I'm not sure of the exact model, but falcon rods or Star rods are great tarpon rods!

[@brandonlabra8866]

What braided line did you have spooled or that reel?

So tarpon are not edible..?

[@adammalone7196]

How deep of water were you guys fishing in?

[@jcmoye1]

What rods were you using?? Thanks !

[@VizagFish]

wonderful

[@PHmaddnes]

@saltstrong Cut bait works in Islamorada because of all the fish used to being fed at Bud&Marys. I have yet to have luck in the CC/FMB area with cut bait. Would like to see what you do in SWFL/Lee Island Coast. Also, are you using offset circles or straight?

[@gtensley671]

Name of rods ?

[@bobsartor5559]

We're arguing over where this is? Are you just inside and South of the small bridge by Bud N May's?

[@Saltstrong]

Insider Members get that info!

[@ReelGuyTv]

This guy is legit. Fishing dead on the bottom is the ticket midday. It's a secret not many know. The con is that you'll be catching everything else and deplete your bait supply so come loaded.

[@Saltstrong]

Thanks so much for your support!

[@rayv5624]

What gloves were used to land the tarpon?

He is talking to Luke like he is a client with very little experience. Just thought that was funny.

[@rickmultimedia3944]

Fishing in Paradise @paradisecoastliving Great video. Thank you for protecting Florida fish and wildlife!

[@VizagFish]

Wow

[@johncuervo3019]

I'd be pissed if I paid for a charter and dude wouldn't STFU. I'd toss the rod in the water and swim back to shore

[@tbgwio]

I'm totally with you. That video made me so happy that I use the tarpon guide I do.

[@rusedorange]

I heard they're darn good eating.

[@Saltstrong]

Not sure

[@stevejones5128]

Too many instructions.

[@DTtunacharters]

I tend to agree. I’m sure the guide gets people all the time who don’t have a clue and probably gets used to it. I know I can’t help but scream “reel!!! Reel!!!” Sometimes at my charters! 😂

[@MatthewCavalieri]

Screaming bro! Ahhhhhhhh

[@bigd7861]

Let that big boy go, alright! To my grill!!! 🤤

[@alejandroacosta9521]

[@robertapreston4200]

I wish more fishermen boasted fish health. With that said, PLEASE be sure to care for these fish if they are not eaten.... thank you
