"I can feel the fish fart" with braided line. This is an awesome video. Thank you.

[@barmax71]

Capt Mike your obviously a wealth of knowledge and I enjoy your seminar, shows and magazine but I dont think enough can be said about how well you speak publicly. Not easy and you do it with such ease. I dont think I have ever heard you say "um, um..." once which is what most people do. Great job and keep up the great work.

[@zbutler111]

I've watched a couple of these seminars. They are full of great info. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent seminar , Capt.Mike has a very talented skills delivering a great information for both beginners and most skilled fishermen. Keep it up don’t stop mike .👍🏻

[@mega_game_play]

I watched all 87 min 31 sec of this video. There was a lot of good content. I liked hearing the results of the breaking strength trials of the line and swivels.

[@FloridaSportFishing]

Thanks for watching Jay, - Capt Mike

[@alfonsodiaz5976]

Excellent lecture. Capt Mike you are incredible.

[@FloridaSportFishing]

Thank you for watching. - Capt Mike

[@alfonsodiaz5976]

I have made this suggestion to you before. Consider putting together the “kite box” and the “sword fish” box, Jigging box, deep drop box etc. Why not take advantage of your “years” putting stuff together instead of having to put in all of those years and probably not getting it right anyway. BTW just made some major purchase from CHAOS and you are right those folks are all “quality” people. Thanks, AD

*Beautiful video Congratulations Fisherman!* 👍🎣🐟🐠

[@FloridaSportFishing]

Hi Sullen, thank you for watching. - Capt Mike

[@dteh4501]

Great video

[@Fluentmotion]

Excellent seminar and to the naysayers thinking you have to make 6digits a year, I started off with budget gear fishing from docks and jetties with great success after I got dialed in to that type of fishing. My biggest redfish (48in) was from a dock on a 150$ combo. Thanks and tight lines!

[@FloridaSportFishing]

Thank you for watching. - Capt Mike

[@jeffsmith825]

I bought 1000 yards of 30# Momoi Diamond Mono off Amazon and it came from Chaos. Arrived 5 days before scheduled delivery. I hear all the time people say "mono is mono" and I couldn't disagree more. Momoi diamond mono is, to me, unbeatable in the mono market. The only line I've found to compare is Jinkai from Japan and I prefer the Momoi.

[@SethBricel]

Great seminar! If you’re watching red snappers or other fish float away with barotrauma after release, try using a descending device. You can easily make one by tying your main line to the bend in a barbless J hook with a segment of line tying the eye of the hook to a weight. Hook the fish and drop down, give it a good yank when deep enough to release. They’re required on all bottom fishing vessels in the northwest, and it gives the fish a fighting chance at surviving release!

[@myungkwak0311]

All momoi products are LEGIT!!!

[@craigcampbell2687]

If you dont already sell complete boxes like your kite box think about the customers that will grab the whole box and be done and return in the future to restock. Big profit opportunity and making it easy for the customer.

[@JC-ru1rn]

Really like these videos, I don't need to change all my set up, but I will incorporate few details that I learned here. Part of fishing is to try different gear and rigs.

[@georgeelliott42]

I often use snap swivels on my rods to change rigs according to the type of fishing that I am doing or the area where I am fishing. My trademark Peacemaker Snap Floats use snap swivels to change leaders during fishing

[@JcSr.]

Oh my god I just spit my beer all over my tablet when he said with braid "you can feel a fish fish fart on your lure"

[@FloridaSportFishing]

What, you never felt a fish fart on your bait?

[@johnhollis3419]

Gotta give Liza Manelli in the movie "Lucky Lady" credit for making fish farts relevant. Great description that I love and use often. Nice to hear you using it as well.

[@geeyoupee]

Great video. Have you seen salt Strong's video on mono vs fluorocarbon abrasion resistance? His test shows mono is more abrasion resistance.

[@georgeelliott42]

Circle hooks are also useful for catching sharp toothed fish on monofilament leaders instead of wire. I have caught barracuda and mackerel on gar leaders instead of wire leaders

[@FloridaSportFishing]

[@portageediver8252]

suggestion... when you are holding something up, have a still shot picture of what you are holding placed in the corner of the screen. loved this video.

[@FloridaSportFishing]

10-4! - Capt Mike

[@SPump420]

"How do YOU know that you've only been cut off by wahoo?" pure gold

[@FloridaSportFishing]

Wahoo, along with king mackerel are notorious for making short work of terminal tackle. With wahoo, its an instant cut off, rarely even a run. In any case, thanks for watching. - Capt Mike

[@raleighthomas3079]

‘Because your $50 plug rigged on 150 lb. mono is instantly GONE...’. LOL!

[@fishingegypt8882]

Sir, you speak like our chemistry professor

[@davemojarra2666]

Los Pescadores Main difference is that Capt Mike is more fun.

[@rubenrodriguez4870]

I want to go to Capt. Mike Fishing University.

[@sterlinian]

Hey here in Trinidad the guys handline for kingfish with 10lb mono with #2 wire

[@leewells389]

Correction commercial fisherman use circle hooks on there a long line in gear primarily because it’s the law

[@FloridaSportFishing]

and because circle hooks work and generally keep the fish connected vs same size J hook. thanks for watching and please join www.FSFTV.com.

[@treypeterson2778]

If you fish a tournament that requires you to use IGFA certified line, how do they check/know that you have IGFA certified line on your reels. Is it mainly built on trust of the anglers, or will they have marshals actually come around and check it?

[@loganironside343]

For kingfish i use floroclear leader with 30lb AFW fishing wire

[@FloridaSportFishing]

good combo but be careful, big smokers will chew right through 30 lb wire.

[@yan5251]

Great seminar! To connect braid to FC/ mono I use a bobbin, easier and better than the FG, have a look how to tie it and let us know your opinion! Cheers

[@FloridaSportFishing]

I will, thanks. - Capt Mike

[@marymichaels5434]

Jj

[@marymichaels5434]

Tyhy

[@huudinii123]

lmaoo..hell no. FG is King when it comes braid to fluoro...dumbass

[@ronfrederick9983]

No way I'm doing this FOR knot. It looks 5 times more difficult than double uni. Not worth the time or effort

[@christopherhawthorne5395]

Learned a lot from Mike. He is however misinformed about fluorocarbon being more abrasion restant. He’s not the only one. It’s been proven it’s not even close in comparison to monofilament. I still use flouro becuause I’m not sure about the visibility yet

[@georgeelliott42]

And never spool your reel directly with braided line. Best to spool a few yards of monofilament line onto the reel then tie the braided line to it and fill out the rest of the spool with braid. I learned that from an experienced braided line fisherman

[@johnathangore8267]

Capt mike, great seminars. Military has brought me to the Hawaiian islands and I have jumped right into the salt life. My question is concerning the PE line you mentioned. I looked up the exact brand you mentioned the Momoi MX8 on eBay. I couldn’t figure out what size to get in kilograms. I have 50lb power pro on my jig set up now. You mentioned that the PE line is stronger and smoother and smaller diameter. What size line size in kilograms would you suggest for the PE line for average I can catch anything type of fishing. I’d like to stay close to 50lb but I’m good with working drag. Thanks for your time.

[@brammckay1294]

I used the exact same PE momoi mx8.. PE 4

[@FloridaSportFishing]

PE 4.0 - Capt Mike

[@0xb1sh0p8]

​ @Florida Sport Fishing I know this is an old video but hoping you can help. New boat owner looking to get setup for some grouper and snapper fishing up to roughly 50 miles out of Tampa. I have a couple penn fathom 25 and a couple spin fishers (4500 and 5500). Any recommendation on what to spool these with? Also do you recommend knocker or fish finder rigs for this type of fishing..Thanks and hope to make it over to CHAOS soon,

[@leonardolimoncelli]

Love your videos .. i have shimano bent butt tallus with tiagra wlrsa 50 , #80 braid ,wind on leader.. can you recomend good brand swivel ? I love trolling for wahoo .. Thanks ! Cheers from the caribbean 🇻🇪

[@jeffsmith825]

I do quite a bit of high speed trolling and there are a couple brands I like. Spro makes tiny tiny swivels that are remarkably strong, but to be honest they're just too darn small for the diameter line used. The ones I use are Owner ball bearing swivels. I use anything from 200lbs up. They are bigger than the Spro swivels so the line diameter is no problem. I like the ball bearing swivels, they're more expensive, but I think they improve action on the lighter lures. Good luck!!

[@lachlanoneil8938]

I'm fishing 130 lb wire

[@dchawk4x]

Are you sure about that circle hook statistic with commercial fisherman? Studies I've read clearly document a higher catch rate with standard J Hooks. Circle hooks are for reducing death rates of By-Catch.

[@FloridaSportFishing]

There is no question that circle hooks are extremely effective, which is certainly one of the reasons commercial fishermen rely on them. Yes, you are correct, they are also designed to reduce by catch. Its a win win! - Capt Mike

[@thanos8795]

*Bi-catch

[@mikeandrews1477]

Anyone else think he looks just like Danny McBride? (meant as a compliment. Danny Mcbride is great)

[@franksanchez2849]

22:25 nice mic

[@patrickkelly8095]

Where do you get PE line?

[@mrs.anderson8332]

Tackle hawking. Very informative. From a tackle shop owner?. Best I've heard. Share this video with friends. At time mark 42:45 he hides the identity of defective product from us and just says don't buy cheap stuff. I'm thinking its brass swivels. It's good to know that his advice is ultimately bent on selling product. Lots and lots of product. Time stamp 56:10 . There's Irresponsible attitude described at 1:02:23 with a admission of killing off bottom caught fish (red snapper and Goliath grouper?) by barotrauma so ""sharks eat em"". " What think you on any of this?

[@myungkwak0311]

Momoi mono, flouro, braid/PE > All other Brands

[@millerslanding2310]

Dang!

[@vincentluca3695]

Although company's rate the line below the breaking strength, are the ones that break much higher much thicker? or is the line just better and the same diameter? I would hate to buy 30lb but its the size of another companys 50lb.

[@FloridaSportFishing]

Excellent point and yes, while line ratings vary by strength its also related to diameter. There is no one universal policy in place across the industry and different brands rate their line slightly differently, I always study diameter vs. diameter when determining best line to use/spool based on my particular needs. - Capt Mike

[@KeepingitAnalog]

What? You mean my 27-year-old line needs to be changed?

[@FloridaSportFishing]

No, its good for at least another few years. lol - Capt Mike

[@islanders_MMA]

What is he selling?

[@michaelsullivan988]

If 100 lb test line is too much why use 1000lb test for Goliath Grouper?

[@jamesh7469]

Abbrasion resistance down in wrecks and structure, and the drag is literally maxed and you are pulling as hard as humanly possible

[@jefflovesfishing2002]

Floro is literally just a marketing gimmick

[@maineoutdoorsman677]

A we use 240lb serow swivel for bluefin tuna u kind of insulted the hole bluefin tuna community.just because u catch shit that we use for bait .an I can’t believe u wouldn’t use them for swordfish too anything over 500 lb .with wined on leaders because ur not leadering a 400 plus with 5 1/2 fathonss leader it will pull right though ur hands so we wine them right to the surface them ..

[@jeffsmith825]

His point was on light tackle "what are you catching" to need a 240# swivel. Obviously he's caught fish over 240 pounds and uses heavier swivels.

[@jamesh7469]

Idiot comment. His whole point was to match your tackle together... telling people not to use 250lb leaders with 30lb line. You obviously have different circumstances

[@456deerhunter]

18 pound wire my ass. I am not losing a 30 dollar lure because of that he'll no
