Hey Justin, we all deserve a little bit of a vacation every now and then I think you deserve it. And enjoy your Florida days.
Take them barracudas cut it into about 4-inch chunks and use that for bait I've used many of them whole bigger than the one you caught for live bait
When I have been Spot Locked with my trolling motor when hammering the fish around those Key Bridges I have offered kayak fishermen the option of throwing a line over my boat’s stern cleat so they don’t get so beat up peddling or trying to anchor in the current. It’s fun seeing fellow fisherman catching fish and making memories they will never forget. I run a silver Triton SF21 with a 200hp Honda and y’all are welcome to hang on.
Be well.
Hey Justin, good video as always. Just wanted to say that the fish you caught at 5:50 was a species of grunt and not a snapper. They can be used as bait. I know it’s hard to tell the difference with the multitude of different inshore snapper species and all the different colors and patterns, but the way you can tell the difference is that grunts tend to have a slightly longer and more narrow jaw. They also tend to have orange on the inside of their mouths, and they don’t have teeth like snapper do. You can also see in your video how the grunts mouth doesn’t curve up on the bottom jaw as much as the other snapper in the video do. If you try to do some species research for future identification, I’d just try to get a basic understanding of the general characteristics and differences between snapper and grunts as there are probably just as many species of grunt as there are snapper.
I was gonna say the same thing😭
Amazing Video!!! What a fight on that second fish, Shark. Grandson kept saying gonna need a bigger boat like in JAWS!! Have a GREAT time and stay safe!!
Some well deserved vacation time Justin, hope you had a great time!
I originally caught this video when I was turning in, and needless to say i fell asleep. I got caught back up to know. I really enjoyed it, and what a souvenir to bring home a 10/0 hook home getting straighted out like that is impressive. If anyone on the RUclips deserves some self time for fishing and enjoy yourself without worrying about all the video stuff you definitely do. Sorry it took so long to get caught back up and leave you a comment. It's been a little crazy working, getting vehicles ready for the winter weather, and it getting dark at 5:30 so hopefully nothing goes wrong. that puts me to wrenching on cold autos. Thanks as always for taking us on these great adventures.
Thanks James!
What species was the big fish that towed u out to sea?
That barracuda fought like a champ. Beautiful fish!
Hope you enjoyed your vacation man. Great video and enthusiastic as always!
Awesome video. Thanks for letting us tag along on a few days on your vacation.
Great fun watching your adventure. Have a great vacation.
Loved the video justin even though it was just a couple fish thanks for taking me along enjoy your vacation and stay safe out there on the big water
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Enjoy ur vacation!
The way that 🎈 took off with the first fish!!! Then came the Florida 👊🏾 action!!! Yes sirrrr!!! Keep dropping lines bud!!!
and....WOW! that first person view going through the arch with the waves. intense man!
Another excellent video, thanks for taking us along old friend
super video. big fish, lots of fun. stay safe.
Love the excitement!
You’re enjoyment makes me smile. I love catching everything out of the ocean. Once a year trip but we fish 7 days of red neck ocean fun.
It’s about time that those Florida fishing trip videos came up. Been waiting and wondering I hope you got a big one.
Nice barracuda ,nice shark both great catches enjoy your vacation you earned it as always a great video
We had been waiting patiently! Definitely worth it!
That’s awesome buddy. Congratulations on the big catch. Safe travels home
Awesome Justin !! Enjoyed watching !! That shark was huge !
Enjoy the rest of your vacation …. Have one for me!
Dan
Great video. Nice Cuda. I got a big one last year as well on one of the sand bars just north of the 7 mile bridge. Looking forward to our trip in February. We usually fish the patch reefs a few miles out on the Atlantic side. Had some HUGE sharks come into our chum slick.
Wow I've missed your posts! Ty. Am commenting before even watching video. Just know it will Rock!
Hope you’re enjoying your vacation Justin. I go to Florida just to go shark fishing. They fight so hard especially on heavy spinning gear. Keep up the great videos dude.
Mangrove Snappers are on every piece of structure in the Keys & south Florida, surprised you didn't get into pin fish (great bait). Mangroves are great eating when legal sized.
hunting season here in pa. but still get sucked into your great videos. Florida trip looked like a great time for ya. 👍
Use the cuda as cutbait! , plenty of bait there.
Nice cuda🎣🎣 I think everything in the blue pond got a mouthful of teeth.😁😁😁😁
Thanks Doug!
🎵"BARRACUDA" ~HEART, Is running through my brain now!🎶❤
It’s on my playlist
@@KayakCatfish One of my old faves for sure!
Thanks for the awesome video hope u enjoy yourself have fun and be safe man
Hello Justin, great fishing 🎣 trip. Save the hook, it's a Trophy. Have a great time and best of luck to you. 👍
Get em JJ,love your channel
Awesome video, great pov almost felt like I was there!
Awesome video, you're a wild man! My wife and I were in Cudjoe Key in September fishing for a week. Can't wait to go back! Now get ya some big cats in that kayak.
Hi Justin. My name is Mike and I like in Australia. I do river fishing and beach fishing. I only just found your channel and really enjoyed your video at Florida. Thanks for sharing your adventure. I think I would be freaked out if I got towed out to sea by a big fish. Probably why I keep my feet on the ground. I look forward to seeing more of your adventures. Kind regards MP
Thanks Mike!
Cool video brother thanks for taking me with you peace out from Ohio Don T
Thanks man great job 👍
Great video Justin I'm anxious to see part 2 of Lake Ida hope you had a great vacation
Thanks Mike! Day two of Lake Ida is scheduled for Friday at 6pm.
Hope you’re enjoying
Great video Justin! You're gonna need stronger hooks next year. Hope you had a great vacation! Have a blessed evening.
Thank you Teri!
What a ride
Nice work 🤙🤙
That bent hook is a trophy on its own
Nice barracuda
Good times and beautiful water. Hope u got a big ol hammer head shark later n the week. Stay safe and enjoy that me time sir…
Looks exciting
And thats what its about, the FUN!! God bless and happy 2024!!!!
Have fun
Yes sirrr Florida Keys rules!!!!
Oh boy here we go 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks Keith!
Love the videos Justin Barracuda are awesome shark bait for future reference.
Dude I fished the bridge a ton as a kid, huge sharks there I’m talking 10 to 15 foot hammerheads! I’d never try that in a kayak… had them bite the motor on our 32 foot dusky.
Those little snapper,are really good to eat,we are very fortunate, we are able to season,all of our fish and game,after we catch or shoot them!
I could watch those snapper on UL all day.
Nice work Justin! I’d be at a pucker level 10 if I hooked into a shark from the kayak.
Thanks!
Thank you Charles! I really appreciate all your support this year.
Wow; dam! Kick a$$ great video
have a great time.....
very nice 💯🐠
I. Like. Big. Fish. And I can not lie!!!! Who cares who considers them "trash"! Great video! Oh, and who doesn't like a little snapper?😁
Once you went past the bridge into open water, I thought, “😂Old Justin and the sea!”
I hope you brought at least one of your catfishing rods. Because what if you see some of them monster fish just sitting on the bottom. Your gonna wanna hook into some of those. Hey man stay safe ,glad to see you accepting comments. Enjoy your vacation.😊
You can use those mangrove snappers for bait if they're keeper size which is 10" I think.
Did you get to identify that monster fish? That big ole fish really took you for a ride. So glad to see the Florida trip!
Not entirely sure. I think the big shark that I got up to the side of the kayak was probably a bull shark.
Can’t tell if you got brass balls, or are half cocked! Probably felt the same rush watching as you did catching. Stay safe out there. One of my favorite RUclipsrs. Enjoy the stay. Can’t wait to see some big cats!
I know you're an amazing fisherman just a suggestion maybe try a saviki rig
Nice to see you get a thrill from the salt water species.
Next time your in south florida come check out Charlotte harbor.
Nice Barracuda, they make excellent shark bait when cut in chunks. Also if you come again next year keep some of those Mayan Cichlids and Oscars from the fresh water for shark bait. They also work great. The one shark that you lost may have been a spinner shark. It was hard to to tell in the video however it looked like when it came up to jump it started spinning. Black tips just jump, spinners jump and spin.
Thanks buddy
Boa tarde amigo. E top seu vídeo. Parabéns.
Try tipping a Sobecki rig with those pieces of shrimp before light
Man!! I hope you have a blast and I hope you hook into a 12 foot hammer head!!!! Good luck, have fun, please be safe!!
Let's get a big shark here we go
Yeah, not many people like sharks. They usually scare off what you're fishing for, and definitely a little annoying if your tackle is a little too light to muscle a blacktip.
I'd love to see you catch a bull red 😆
Nice job, the keys are DIFFICULT to fish, especially in the winter. I stayed there for 6 weeks, a week at a time from early fall up to New year. I live in Fl south of Tampa. The Honda bridge has a stronger current than anywhere I have ever seen. I think your 1st day big fish was a ray or a grouper. I'm guessing a grouper bent out that hook. After watching a LOT of fisherman and struggling myself I will give you my tips. Get a chum bag and let it draw the fish in. Get some squid and the biggest Sabiki rigs you can find. I liked no name key and Spanish key the best myself. Did get some monster jacks at Honda bridge back on the inside where the walking path is. Big Cuda's are hard to target, I had 1 cut a parrot fish (4lbs) in half. I threw the rest of the fish out and he would not touch it. They like live distressed live fish. Duck key bridges do well also. It's all tide and how you can present your bait, that is really is the biggest challenge getting that window. Be SAFE, it is hostile out there. That was a painful shark, I am NOT a shark fan.
Hey Justin, when are we going to get some "Kayak Shark" gear?
Sabiki rig tipped with tiny pieces of fish bites for bait catching, or a chum bag and a cast net
Awesome video. Great work. Was that a TEMU hook or from a reputable manufacturer ?
Mustad
Catching them shard Barbies
When did you film this Justin
November 19/20
If you’re shark fishing in florida always bring bolt cutters to cut the hook.
What size spinning reel do you use on your catfish spinning set up?
I use 4000 size reels on my catfish sumo chopstick spinning rods
Wow!!! Barracuda
Thanks Allen!
Better then a video i watched when a guy was feeding the cows, one cow turned to walk away when his tail went up. Thats when he projectile pooped and got the guy on the side of his face
Grew up on the gulf coast and always heard that you should put new line on before you go back to fresh water, and rinse everything off because of the salt water. Frozen shrimp arent good for anything except catching hardheads!
The teeth on that barracuda is crazyyyy. Does it stress you out any when those sharks tow you out to the middle of the ocean like that? I know it would freak me out a bit lol. Awesome video Justin, glad you’re getting some warm weather and relaxing in. You deserve it!
It is definitely stressful going through the old bridge when the current and wind are opposite of each other. If you aren’t lined up perfectly straight, it can get sketchy.
@@KayakCatfish I couldn’t imagine, I don’t have enough coordination to pull something like that off haha
Was that the normal mustad 10/0 you use that got bent?
No, it was a thicker wire version. I normally use the fine wire for catfishing.
You got bigger balls than me bro lol my anxiety went through the roof when the second fish started towing you out to sea. Was just praying it wasn’t a repeat of last years live stream
Same here I was like panicking and he was like “hell yeah let’s gooo” I was like oh shit this tenn boy crazy as shit lol. I didn’t think us south East boys done salt water to well. Lol. I’ve got to find that live stream you’re talking about now tho. And I’ve got to try and find the hammer head he mentioned he got. This was wild. Only redneck would shark fish from a peddle drive yak. Lol 😂
Did you mean medium lite for the rod?
Bro, what an amazing video. Per usual your enthusiasm and camera angles make it like we’re catching the fish ourself. Had me excited as heck. I hope you had a great trip. That’s crazy that your hook was straightened like that. I can’t imagine how big that thing was.
Ya ole bluegill that shark was huge🦈 😊
Thanks James!
Where you staying love to make trip down there looks like a nice spot
I stayed in Islamorada
I would love to see you land a shark on you ultra light pole would be a long fight
I’ve lived in Florida my whole life . I’ve never seen someone so dissatisfied with catching snapper 😂😂 . You worried about catching bait ignoring the food that your catching😂😂
Heading to the sea tomorrow for a vacation gonna do some shore shark fishing hoping I can hook something big also gonna hit the estuary on my kayak maybe catch some cob on the light tackle to and now I kinda wanna catch some big sharks of the kayak after watching this😂
Good luck on your trip
Why are the snappers off limit?
You can use snapper as bait as long as it's legal size.
Hey Justin, about how big was that barracuda you caught look to be about 4 foot or bigger.
I didn’t measure it but I would guess around 4 foot
@@KayakCatfish They have some mean teeth don’t they yes.🦷
Come fish NC coastal waters!
