Jigging GIANT Amberjack

We head offshore in my brothers bay boat to do some vertical jogging for giant amberjack! We tango with a handful of amberjack and also mix in a couple almaco jack and a barracuda. It’s the first half the of the day and we are actually catching bait to shark fish with, but you’ll have to wait till the next video to see the shark action!

The best type of fishing on this planet! That high speed vertical jigging is phenomenal!!!! It requires all of your fishing knowledge, strength & skill. A Big AJ will make you say UNCLE!!!!!

[@tinacreekmore6959]

Got to love how much pain and work out all of you doing for your love of fishing. This is definitely how all of you roll. I'm 64, a woman that loves to fish and loves your videos. Your fish are bigger than mine. By two feet. Great videos. Change of pace, the captain on camera getting a work out catching bait. Hard working MAN. 🙂❤

[@StanzFam]

Thanks Tina!

[@sailingddcircumnavigation5931]

Captain Nick you left me hanging I thought you were going to go straight into the shark portion of the video. I can't wait to see this one thanks again for putting out all these videos back-to-back.

[@StanzFam]

Thank you for watching and being part of the channel 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@dannyscott3531]

As a SCUBA Diver, I am just imagining seeing these things underwater, schooling, if that's what they do. I remember, once, being swallowed up in a school of nice size Spadefish off of Pensacola. It was so beautiful! I never got to see any big Amberjacks, ever, when diving.

[@ShawnsOutdoorObsession]

Being on lockdown up here in Ontario and only wishing I could be down there in Florida fishing. You guys provide some great distraction from this pandemic we are all facing. Keep up the good work and stay safe!!!! Always a joy to watch.

[@StanzFam]

[@adamnolder8936]

Nice to see a video with you on the rod. If this tourism slow down continues I would love to see a video that discusses technique and rigging while you’re fishing. Hopefully our group will get back to BnM soon👍

[@baheadhunters6052]

You had me laughing it is different seeing you on the rod in videos... awesome video by the way can’t wait for the next one

[@hcfishing7050]

Sup nick loves the videos, when you said you could fall in it’s so ironic because I was on a 60 foot Carolina boat yesterday standing in the cockpit and we hit a freighters wake at the wrong angle and I went right over and lost my Costa’s and almost my phone but got away unharmed thankful to be alive

[@StanzFam]

Holy smokes! Glad you’re alright! That is crazy!

[@troybruce6131]

[@johnkester5926]

at least you didn't catch a shark bigger than your boat!

[@michaelgonzales54]

HEE HEE dang I know how it goes with amber jacks, I have only brought in one but what a fight, the others sharks get them, but what a challenge

[@scorporsupremacy7948]

You guys making this quarantine much easier for us by bringing out these awesome videos. Thank you and keep up the good work 🙏🏽💯

[@GavinConwayWoodworkBBQ]

And not isolating themselves is bad for everyone :(

[@StanzFam]

Thanks for watching.

[@StanzFam]

Isolating on the boat 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@craigbillman1652]

Nick - What camera were you using in this video? Looks great!

[@kevinwilson6786]

Okay. I paused it at 13:55. I am looking at the way you have the vertical jig rigged. It looks like you have your line tied to the same lure eyelet as the hook. Do you always rig it like that? I would have thought you would tie your line to the opposite end of the lure from the hook. Can you explain this? Thanks

[@StanzFam]

I tie it to the solid ring closer to the hook

[@arnodesmedt3029]

Barbaric fishing

[@mosquitofleetfishing6599]

Nick, curious what rod/reel combo you were using. I know it’s a Penn International, but is it one of the Torque models? Also, is the rod one of your branded rods? I’m trying to put another combo together that actually matches well.

[@StanzFam]

That was a carnage jigging rod. We have a few rods ourselves now, but no specific jigging ones

[@jeffcummings5688]

We want Tiger we want Tiger

[@Strankon]

Capt. Nick, I think I’ve mentioned to you before that I build custom rods, I’ve been using blackhole blanks for my jigging rods. What blanks are your rods made with?

[@StanzFam]

Cool, I have heard of those blanks. These are the penn carnage II rods

[@Strankon]

Thanks for the reply

[@corthudson3965]

What are those rod and reels that you are using for jigging

[@StanzFam]

Carnage II rod with a torque reel , from penn

[@user-pb9zy6qr2k]

I love jigging from egypt

[@richardmckinney4963]

Looks like fun, and the next question is are they good to eat?

[@StanzFam]

Amberjacks are decent eating. Very popular for smoked fish, but some people grill and fry them. We let a lot of them go as well

[@richardmckinney4963]

@@StanzFam being from Oklahoma I only had one chance to fish in Florida, and it seemed all I would catch is Angel Catfish.

[@stanleyHMC]

can i know whats the overhead reel tht youre using?

[@StanzFam]

Torque 40 from penn

[@jerogaba]

Hey nicK are you doing fishing trips for costumers or is only for yourself?

[@StanzFam]

All charters. We did some family and friends trips during covid 19 since tourists couldn’t get into the Keys. Www.daytimeswordfish.com

[@dahnerlaurence2018]

[@arnoldavila5962]

What kind of jigging rod is that what size and weight is it

[@StanzFam]

Carnage II from penn , 80-200

[@stanleyshelby7460]

Why don't you get a fighting belt for that type of fishing. Better than bruising your groin area. Thx for sharing the video.

[@quan2368]

Please put your gears info in the video. I really appreciate it!

[@beeurbina3309]

Nick what kind of jiggs your using? How heavy? Line,rod,reel setup? We love watching your channel here in the Philippines🌴🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🤙🏽 Some advise please🙏

[@StanzFam]

Mine was a 9 Oz Williamson jig

[@mdv2043]

Man if we used a gamefish or any part of a gamefish for bait in Texas the gamewardens will hang ya from your toenails. We like using big jackcrevel , stingrays or a big ole stinky cudda...

[@StanzFam]

Gulf regs are definitely tougher

[@mdv2043]

I hope to one day get back to Isla Mirada and fish with you. I have literally caught 100s of sails there during the winter there. We used to go there and stay with a guy that used tobe known as Anglfish Bob. We would drag our 20' Boston whaler there and fish for two weeks during christmas every yr when I was a single man. Haha I was a big follower of Brett Holden and the boobytrap team when they used to slay the swords. I grew up doing what you do on the Texas coast. Now iam Landlocked in Austin Tx and only get offshore every once in a Blue moon. I have a serious question for ya. Dont want to put my email on here or have you do it either. Need a good way to reach out to you.

come on with the JAWS , i am waiting rely for the next video

[@KyriafinisBill]

In Greece where I live amberjacks are sold 25 to 40 euros a kilo and if we catch one we certainly don't use it for bait. I really don't understand why it is considered so bad in the US

[@StanzFam]

Some people eat them here but we just have a wide selection of fish , so they usually aren’t the top choice

[@BodyBag_Gaming]

Depends on the person honestly. But I hear/see more people catch and eat.

[@KyriafinisBill]

@@StanzFam Well we do have a narrower selection of fish here. People don't respect the regulations so maybe you are right. Love your videos keep up and be safe in these difficult days.

[@deesuydam8838]

I can't understand this at all 3060 views of this video but only 338 likes. The likes help the channels because youtube will put the videos in front of more people that are not subscribers which in turn will get more subscribers which helps the channel to be able to buy more cameras and better cameras and eventually enough subbies that they start to do give a ways to give back to their youtube communities. I am not saying that StanzFam is going to do give a ways but at the same time if they had the income from youtube to do so they would be more apt to do so.

[@StanzFam]

👊🏻👊🏻

[@ryanchardon1553]

Can u eat amber jacks

[@StanzFam]

Yes

[@michaelfairchild1417]

Nick, why wouldn't you eat the Amber Jacks? Has to be a lot of meat

[@StanzFam]

You can eat them, we do catch a lot of other better eating fish here though. If I have a chance to turn an amberjack into a big tiger shark or a mako shark I’m always gonna take it.

[@timjepson1092]

Can't you eat A. Jack ?

[@StanzFam]

Yes

[@tarablake-meandmyviolin1132]

You're crazy to be wasting those amber's as bait

[@j24575]

With all the stuff you can use for shark bait why kill a big beautiful aj just for shark bait? Or keep the fillets and use the carcass as bait just seems wasteful. I love the show though

[@StanzFam]

Hoping for a giant tiger shark or a mako, I didn’t have any other bait in the freezer.
