[@StephanieBassora-q7x]

Hey Thonny buddy hey I really did enjoy this episode especially you fishing at the skyway that was awesome buddy 👍💪

[@Thonny]

More coming! 💪

[@MichaelPHarrold]

watching the old one....waiting on the 2023 Skyway Grouper video to release. Thanks for the commitment.

[@Thonny]

More to come!! 👊

[@davescheer5038]

Dude I was sitt’n here going it’s a keeper , and then not one but two 21” inchers, ! 🤔 Well at least flipper wasn’t mess’n with ya , and you didn’t get rained out ! So it was a good day ,

[@Thonny]

Better luck next time!

[@ziradee]

Nice Video Thonny! I love these instructional Skyway videos. Tight Lines!

[@Thonny]

Thank you !!

[@allenreddick7600]

I lived in Tampa for 20 years and fished the skyway alot perfected that method sure miss it now

[@Thonny]

Miss fishing the skyway pier! I haven’t been back there in a while. The dolphins are terrible there now

[@itzjustemron9187]

We def need more of these grouper fishing videos it’s entertaining

[@Thonny]

There will be more coming!! Thanks for watching.

[@2HimTru]

Yes, I'd like to see some more grouper fishing WITH you & friends sharing recipes as you clean and cook the grouper caught. QUESTION: I need to find a saltwater rod to best fit my "Penn Battle II 3000 Spinning Reel" for using artificial goofy-jig lures to fish for Pompano. Because my small vehicle won't accommodate the one-piece 7.0 foot Spinning Rod without it staying in a curved position on a long trip, what two-piece Spinning Rod choices would you recommend for balance? I would imagine that my just slightly cracking the back passenger side window to accommodate the one-piece Spinning Rod would work, except I'm concerned that the air movement & vibration might really scratch up the rod surface against the window frame. What do you recommend? Thanks!

[@Thonny]

Check out st.croix triumph medium 6-12lb class! They do come in a two piece! Also Shimano slx 7ft medium 6-12lb they come in 2 piece as well. They’re also lightweight, good for throwing artificial lures and jigging

[@garyschuller6981]

My favorite videos are the grouper ones...but you knew that...Thx!

[@natzcarrillo5180]

The thrills....heartpounding moments while Figthing those groupers, man, i wish am the one on your shoes. Those were my dream catch sizes. Best for a sweet and sour menu😃 as well. Hope to see more of this aside from pompano Tightlines! God bless.

[@Thonny]

For sure!! There will be more grouper vids soon!!

[@edwardvoluntad138]

Hi, Thonny, great to meet you! See you next time in Tarpon Springs!

[@ontheline3734]

I love your channel. Simple and real. Keep it up. I just subbed.

[@Thonny]

I appreciate it ! 👊

[@THELockerGRIAL]

Thonny why you dont pinch the tail when you measure the fish? It would be longer and I heard is legal to do it with nonfork tail fishes

[@Thonny]

That always slips my mind!! Thanks for the reminder man! 👊

[@michaeldesilvey7563]

Hey bro,great vids as always,I was down last week visiting my pops,I was literally just there they day before,caught a lot of mangrove snapper,then I fished the jetty before the entrance and caught a few sheepshead,I’m likely moving back to the area in another month or so,it would be great to run into you sometime! I’ve caught a lot of different fish along the coast fromMS to FL but I’ve yet to catch a grouper,thanks for the tips !

[@Thonny]

Thank you! Hope you get em next time you’re out there!!

[@Pescador2022]

Friend great videos, 2 ques. please. 1.What knot are you using braid to leader. 2.What length rod? Thanks Tom

[@Thonny]

FG Knot, and the rod is 7'8! 50-100lb class

[@garyferrer2032]

Why don't you use a cast net?

[@carloscharles9127]

Hi Thonny, can you please send me the link of the snook sticker you have in your back window of your truck? Thank you very much!

[@carloscharles9127]

Do you remember where you bought sticker? Thx.

[@stevestory8483]

Great video Thonny! Love it when you hit em and wrench them in

[@Thonny]

Thanks for watching !

[@RubenRamirez-gh8uf]

Thanks for the advice I'm going sky b rich next month what is the size for kipper on grouper

[@Thonny]

They’re out of season right now. The season opens from September 1st through November 10th. They have to be 24”

[@BigVicZone]

Good advice !! On the water, it’s better too feel up before than on the bridge.

[@Hyperfiuze]

6:06 “these groupers are so aggressive” meanwhile guy in the back almost jumps off to get his rod

[@Thonny]

Good eye!

[@Hyperfiuze]

Lol thanks, good catch btw, i have to get a good setup for grouper, im thinking hitting the skyway sometime this week, keep up the great content 🙏🏼👍🏼

[@socamarvin1]

Hey Thonny what kind of camera do you use when shooting your fishing videos to post on KZbin and what other Equiptment is needed.

[@Thonny]

Canon EOS R5! check the description for the camera gear I use.

[@jasonbenjamin9371]

Great video, Thonny. Keep them coming !

[@RustyReels]

Great video man! Everything came together

[@LuisGonzalez-zp9vt]

Are you hitting up skyway again for gags ? Thus month

[@Thonny]

Yes sir ! Soon ! 🙌

[@Aidan.Wingard]

You ever get Goliaths there?

[@Thonny]

I’d like to try this year! I know where they are. Just don’t have the gear big enough to target them

[@Aidan.Wingard]

@@Thonny yeah I want get buy one of those 9/0 or 12/0 senators and try it

[@grandwonder5858]

You don’t add any split shot or any kind of weight to your line?

[@Thonny]

no just let the pinfish swim with the current while giving it slack and feel the pinfish swim until it gets eaten.

[@Kevinw4040]

What size hooks do you find are the best for catching the pins?

[@Thonny]

I find size 6 Mustad Gold Hooks work best. Anything smaller than that just makes it hard to dehook sometimes. But with size 6 it's easier and it's not too big for them.

[@robertrio632]

Going to bring a Slim Jim in my tackle box for bait

[@fishmandad588]

Hey thorny ,what kind of rod is that your using

[@pathua7692]

Skyway slayer🔥🔥🔥

[@lendog725]

I literally fishing that exact spot on Saturday .. 3 times dolphins broke me off!

[@Thonny]

The dolphins were stealing my bait too!!

[@TB-xw3vo]

I've had the dolphins steal 7 baits in a row!

[@nomas4enko]

Any preference for North vs South Skyway bridge for grouper fishing? Is it only me, or North side is better. Thanks, great videos as usual!

[@Thonny]

Both!

[@ethanvang5614]

Any gags that are 28 inches plus are gonna hit way harder and fight way harder than any of those gags that you’ve fought… 30 plus inchers fight different than those of the 20s.. it’s hard to get a 30 plus incher even with my type of exp lol

[@Mlt..999]

Nice catch..What day was that ? Sat or Sun or Monday ?

[@Thonny]

Thursday!

[@frankrothe3064]

Good Vid Thonny. Do you prefer outgoing for them?

[@Thonny]

Incoming is good too!

[@tomzhang8675]

10:00 human: "see u" grouper: "no way, dont wanna see u"

[@carlandre5826]

Hey man don't feel bad about getting excited about the bait.Because no bait, no fishing and that right I.Enjoy your shows.I address wish I could fish as good as you and then you , you have competition

[@williambenner5550]

When I use to go for gag off of shipwrecks and natural structures, I would usually end up getting shorts as well. It is all part of fishing I guess.

[@Thonny]

It’ll get better once the temperature drops!!

[@ICF941]

I literally just went to the skyway and didn’t catch crap so let’s see how many 35 inch gags you catch this time lol

[@jeanperez6901]

Same got a few snapper and a tarpon tried to hyt my pooper over night

[@Thonny]

Not this time! 🤣

[@yansmith6999]

Is this north pier or south pier?

[@Thonny]

South !

[@yansmith6999]

@@Thonny thank you very much, today I went north, only fished some pinfish

[@Floridawoodsbanshee]

Are you casting out at a rock piles. Or around the pilings?? I never tried this sky way fishing. Looks fun

[@comfortablynumb9342]

You can do both there. There are piles of cement bridge debris from when the old bridge was turned into the pier. And I think there are reef balls made of cement too. And of course the pilings have fish too.

[@Floridawoodsbanshee]

@@comfortablynumb9342 thank you. I might give It a try. Soon grouper be pushing under residential docks

[@chrism8013]

It's funny how the wind is wished for in certain areas. Here is wind from the east, fishing is the least. Wind form the south & west, fishing is the best.

[@TheDjScotti]

What kind, and how long is that Rod ??

[@Thonny]

Shimano Terez 7”8 Heavy 50-100lb

[@MrFlguy1]

Awesome video! Thanks!
