If you hadn't texted me when you did my timing could have been off in getting to the spot and I may have never placed that bait right in front of her, ha ha. Thanks for indirectly helping out.
*JC...The hours that are full of anticipation of catching a Lunker Snook get rewarded with Such a Rush that can never be described any better than what you've shown here... Gull Dang that was fun to see... Thanx for making my day Buddy!* ..gw
Thanks for watching. It was a drag screaming few seconds there. She was running with the current. If she would have only turned left a few feet she would have whipped me.
I just noticed that when I watch my video of the fish that I caught in the morning, during the fight, I’m huffing and puffing. After I saw this video, I noticed I’m not the only one. Good catch, man!
Its good to see you hittin' up them bridges again J.C. Heard those big girls are starting to move into the passes.... looking forward to seeing you get on that beach bite again like last year.
Thanks for watching. Yeah, if they would get all the beaches open around here it would help. I've got some spots in mind for the kayak soon where I think there will be some big Snook.
MAN I was praying the whole time. Please don't loose it please don't loose it.....That fish was worth all the one's you lost. No questions about it. And a good thing you had that 80 lb. test on. That video made me tell the wife we're going fishing tonight. I live in Pomp. Bch.
I fish in your area, I’ve seen your jack video at the marina , but I’m yet to come across one, I am always seeing snook at the marina and I have caught a few of them there.
If the fish are biting you don't really notice it all that much. On nights when i fish with Snook jigs sometimes I'll fish four hours straight with an eight foot rod and a 6000 sized reel. I do have to take breaks to retie, eat a snack or to release some Snook. The breaks are necessary.
Jc i have a question about grunts. This week was the 1st time i really used them to snook fish. I really thought they were more hardy of a bait but they didn't seem to last long. Whats your experience with them. I was disappointed in how quickly they ran out of steam and just floated
That's exactly my experience with them as well. I have two friends who always say the love fishing for Snook with big Pigfish (Grunts). I always tell them I'd rather have a big Pinfish because they are much more vibrant and stay alive a lot longer. I suppose if I had a three dozen big Pigfish to use so I could keep a lively one on all the time maybe I'd enjoy fishing with them more. A big Pinfish for me gets chosen over a Pigfish every time.
J.C. I think you don't get cut off as much with the long shank of the j hook. But that could be just me.....I know most people will say the circle hook will get them in the lip. But fishing live bait they've been know to inhale it.
Hey I have a question. I know you weren’t using a super spook jr but I’ve been using one this weekend and the braid keeps hanging on the first treble I ended up removing that first treble all together but am afraid I may lose some catches due to just having the one back treble by itself. I know you use them a lot do you run into that problem?
Yep. That lure is challenging at times with that first hook. My buddy said to try and practice having tension on the line as it hits the water. That lure drives me crazy sometimes. I don't have that problem as much with the big Surface Walker MirOlure I use.
Thanks for watching. I believe that the night fishing videos are very educational for people wanting to target big Snook. The best chance of catching one is generally at night. The locals love the night videos because they can see where I'm catching giant Snook, ha ha...Well the edit on this one didn't show much of the surroundings. Thanks for commenting.
thats a stud
Yes JC being persistent is key... never give up. Great Snook video !
You should consider snelling the hook because it keeps the hook in more of a circle so you don’t jump them off. Beautiful fish man!!!!
That battle was EPIC brother .wow!!
If you hadn't texted me when you did my timing could have been off in getting to the spot and I may have never placed that bait right in front of her, ha ha. Thanks for indirectly helping out.
@@RadReelingFishing sweet...glad i could help..lol
Patience and persevering is what it's all about. Good catch man. That girl had shoulders like a linebacker.
2:58 I love those powerbait pogy swim shads!
Nice fish brother! 👍
There are some big girls in this spot. Thanks for watching.
You’re going to be a lot bigger man just keep at it ! So much gold in these videos

What an absolute banger of a video JC this one had my blood pumping with that snook running that drag like it was a spiderman rod
That fish was strong. It was running with the current.
Awesome video and channel! I really enjoyed watching! Keep up the good work
Great update JC! Thanks for the videos. Stay safe, stay well.
Great fish JC! Dude you were grinding. Your words are so true. Awesome video!
Nice one! I find the same thing at locations I fish. One specific piling will hold snook, another drum, another grouper, and another stingrays.
Its good to see you hittin' up them bridges again J.C. Heard those big girls are starting to move into the passes.... looking forward to seeing you get on that beach bite again like last year.

Awesome, glad to see you've been inspired!
@@RadReelingFishing Man I was inspired. When you got me talking to the big guy up - stairs I'm big time inspired!!
I love it JC another amazing video, beautiful snook. I can't wait for my next snook!
That snook was giving you the business 🤙🏽
Snook in the spotlight..must be thinking I'll never eat another pinfish again.. Life Loving JC
Good job JC 👍👍
Those reel screams were awesome!!!
Snook have very sharp gill plates and they utilize tham especially when they jump
Awesome job man!
great job JC! your the man. just landed my PB snook the other night! thought about ya because of the night filming!
Awesome, I'll be watching for the notification!
Nice 👍 catch JC !!
What a monster. I'm going to need the GPS point LOL
Lol this guy is the guru!
Fish of a dream
! 👏👏👏🔝🎣

Nicely done Sir! Beautiful fish. I would of love to see the one that eat the grunt.
You should go catch her bro. It took a while, but I was able to hide the surroundings on this one.
Big ole Labrador head after losing 5-6 good ones only seems right to me but sometimes that's the way snook fishing goes😎
Thanks for watching. A huge adrenaline rush. It's nice to land a big one every now and then.
Love the vids JC! Keep up to great content!
Not luck at all... that's skill 👍
awesome dude
Good catch my brother 😎 👍 what is the head light you are using on your hat to light up the night? Subbed 🥳
It's similar to this one amzn.to/2XcqYHF but I got mine from Wish. I also use this one with the chest camera amzn.to/2A7tcfl Thanks for watching.
@@RadReelingFishing thanks👍
Lets go!!!! Get em j.c
🎣🎣💪🏼BIG FISH J.C
Snelling your hooks makes a big difference
cant believe i recognized you on the bridge. was this the same night? AWESOME fish tho!
Yes, I caught her on one of those Pinfish. It was good to meet you.
The fishing pole looks pretty big. Does it get tiring fishing lures with a big pole for you?
If the fish are biting you don't really notice it all that much. On nights when i fish with Snook jigs sometimes I'll fish four hours straight with an eight foot rod and a 6000 sized reel. I do have to take breaks to retie, eat a snack or to release some Snook. The breaks are necessary.
Is this the 'snook zone' you've fished from in the past?
he always fish there in the mornings
Great question. I've never filmed at this location.

Can you explain to me why you used that type of hook when using live bait over a circle hook?
I seem to have a better catch ratio with J hooks.

Was I watching rad reeling fishing or river monsters???
When's the rad reeler merchandise going to be available
No plans for merch. Salty Scales bit.ly/2KkjbUH is the best of the best
Yes the second one in the comment
JC I thought we had a Deal ???? Anything over 35 inches are mine !!!! LOL
Ha ha...Can you cut me a break this time? I only did it because of the survey results of followers asking for shore fishing videos.
Ok anything for the channel
What coast are you on
West

Not a fan of night fishing videos.
