Underwater Drone Locates Monster Wreck Fish That Won't Budge!

[@joetaibi6386]

The fish at 6:24 looked like an Almaco Jack.....although it was hard to see it clearly because of so much movement. If it in fact was an Almaco, they made good table fare.

[@TheBababa420]

Glad to see Doc, hopefully on a full recovery.

[@duffmeister6480]

Beautiful blue water, videoing those fish looks as fun as catching them, Doc’s looking great, nice to meet you today, your seminar was great, as usual. Thanks very much.

[@CaptainSloose]

I think those jacks are Almacos. They are absolutely delicious.

[@davidjeep6543]

very tasty

[@jeffreysnyder912]

Good to go fishing with friends. Glad Doc is doing better

[@JoeToz]

Yes! Finally the Underwater Drone. Now I can die happy 🙂 Great video as always.

[@jamiehoward4980]

That pretty cool being able to see what's down below biting your baits awesome footage!

[@pathua7692]

Love the way you use the underwater drone! By the way if you’re in the gulf past 9 miles, scamp grouper are 16in size minimum. Mangrove snappers increase to 12in size minimum

[@GALLAGHERFISHING]

Always interesting viewing that from the underwater camera. Nice work John!

[@FMorgigno1]

Great Video John. So good to see Doc and Sweeney. The 3 John’s are back on the water. So happy to see the sweenster traded in his Bataan death March hat for a new model. He certainly knows how to put you on the fish! Where’s John Halkias????

[@jiggingjerks]

Weekday and was working :(

[@mr.c1987]

@@jiggingjerks I missed you in this vid as well. Hopefully we will see you all together soon

[@mikeknottscreek8183]

Thanks for the great video without music. No sooner did I leave KZbin and go to my email and there was an email from Salt Strong about the One Cast Away promo.

[@joshrussell9460]

Cool Docs out fishing . Sure that makes everything better. Awesome video love the underwater stuff you do.

[@mr.c1987]

Awesome vid. Good to see you and your friends enjoy life.

[@mikem29]

Awesome job John

[@davehansen1169]

Very cool underwater video!!

[@ericarbo5044]

Good morning John. Another great video from you. I’m a North Eastern fan also , from Maine. I keep saying one of these days I’m in Florida, I’d love to go fishing with you. Keep the videos coming and I’ll keep watching. Lol Tight line and bending rods is my favorite thing to do !!! 🏔🌊🎣

[@pastordan78]

Looks like an almaco jack. Good eating fresh.

[@patricknealon-us8yu]

Scamp Grouper is 16 inches in the Gulf

[@Drufus6753]

John your videos are getting me through the winter as I’m in the northeast. I’m going on vacation to captiva next month and will be using the knowledge gained from your channel! Do you ever feel compelled to put out content and fish to justify that means? Or are the videos just a chronicle of the obsession?

[@PufflesDaViking]

Pretty sure those are Almaco Jacks, and they are quite good actually.

[@Endeavorfishing]

I fly regular drones and i fish... but never felt the need to combine the two 🤷🏾‍♂ but i might now lol

[@seekinfindin5669]

I believe that fish is a baby Greater Amberjack. Banded Rudderfish appear more rounded.

[@Teach_1ne]

The underwater stuff is so insightful if you’re a pupil of the community 🎣. I definitely learned how to tog jig way better from your content, so thanks. I would need a wireless drone 😂. Way too many old piers and snags where I would want to see tog holes from shore.

[@pennyan2057]

Should paint the drone a mottled grey like the groupers, though they didn't seem too freaked out by it. Do they make a wireless drone yet? If not I'm sure my grandkids kids will have one to break!!

[@patrickgregory1078]

Very cool but I think we're getting a little bit to hi tech. I remember as a child it was cool not knowing what your gonna reel up!

[@tomtripptree5079]

Did the drone happen to pick up a BIKER MIKE sign.

[@dirtydanthegarbageman4803]

Its in the front compartment in the structure

[@striper8311]

My men doc and sweeney.

[@tylerpepe8226]

What line, topshot, backing would you recommend for targeting big gags etc, doing a trip down in the gulf early September

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

Sorry, I'm not a good resource for that fishing. I don't get out in the Gulf much, as most of my Florida fishing is inshore.

[@tylerpepe8226]

@@JohnSkinnerFishing thanks John appreciate your time anyway

[@stevesteve9719]

Are the Goliaths catch and release?

[@pastapaul150]

Yes, can’t keep them

[@vincentstouter449]

“Drones” fly; ROV’s (Remote Operated Vehicles) swim. 😎

[@MikeKucich]

Great video. Have a question John. Been fishing creeks in North Carolina for trout and this one creek these big trout keep coming out of the water like dolphin. Just there backs out and then back down. Not going after bait but just seem happy. Only able to pick 1-2 off but there were a bunch doing that. Why are they doing that? Have you seen them do this? Thanks

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

If they're freshwater trout, I've heard that some fish leap and land to break up eggs. Not really sure though.

[@rockit3times]

Sea Robin

[@ryan3263]

Big porgie was a mutton snapper I believe

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

My friend Doc said the same thing.

[@anthonyvella2787]

What brand drone was that ?

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

Underwater Drone: amzn.to/3T9H6IO

[@4RibsFishing]

John - would that drone work (visibility wise) in our northern fishery? 60-80' off NY/NJ.

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

It will depend on water clarity. If you think the water is super clear, then you're probably OK. If you think it's a little off, then you're likely to be disappointed.

[@joemccarthy552]

John what make boat were you on

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

Pairs Custom 21

[@AxeL_616]

Hey John your slammer 4 DX is making a loud noise is that the line roller ? Mine does the same exact sound and I’ve greased it and it always comes back…. Is the bearing bad?

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

Interesting that yours does the same. I guess it's a bearing. Maybe the line roller bearing?

[@michaelgreene]

I think mangroves caught off shore have to be 12". Should check.

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

Yep. 12 inches in federal waters. Thanks for that. We still would have been fine size-wise with the few that we kept, but good to know. It really takes some effort to keep on the right side of the regs in Florida between all of the different species and changing seasons and limits. Thanks again. I'll let my boat friends know.

[@FrankieV772]

What make and size is the boat?

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

Pairs Custom 21

[@FrankieV772]

It’s definitely nice and roomy for the size.

[@georgesfouggatakis2334]

why dont you go offshore in NY for Tuna and mahi?

[@JerseyMike6O9]

40 miles out??

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

Yes. It was a good weather day. 40 miles gets you around 75 feet of water there.

@ErikHyndmanto Shalom 😎🇮🇱❤️

[@TheBeefSlayer]

Sad you didn’t get video of him attempting to raise that large fish while the drone was filming it. I wanted to see if it was budging at all or what. But you guys just gave up and broke the line off camera. What a missed opportunity😢😢😢
