Use what you have. Overcome and adapt. Heartbreak ridge. Clint Eastwood. You are making awesome videos. Thank you for sharing your life. You and your wife are so loved by all of us. ❤
Being a Native Florida boy and as much saltwater fishing I've done, I've never caught a pompano, nor have I ever eaten one! Permit, yes, pomp, no! But those surely looked good! Another dang fine video, Ian!
I have a 14 yr old grandson who is totally disabled, can’t walk or talk and has become addicted to your videos. He watches them for hours and laughs continuously at you and your advantages. We live in Samsula just west of New Smyrna Beach.
Loved the vid today, for your Pompano took my heart away. For my oldest grand daughter brought down my 3 great grands to have Christmas dinner with me that day. For I fixed padded oysters and a nice big Pheasant with all the fixings of the day. So Tug and your family enjoy the holiday season a long with all the great comments of everyone out there today .So happy holidays to all the great people who leave love today. From the old man who lives up here on the Chesapeake Bay.
We used to catch pompano when I was a kid growing up in florida. My grandfather's motto was, " you sell the pompanou and keep the whiting." But we still managed to eat some pompano occasionally. Awesome fish!!!
Mike D was killing it! But you did great too. That grilled pomano looked yummy. I hope you, Krystal, & Bianca had and amazing Christmas, and are Blessed with a Prosperous & Happy New Year!!
Killer boots man haha. Freeze my dang toes off for sure. Meal looks amazing, Krystal the tree does look great! Love the Grizwald talk, watch that movie every year. Much love guys
My wife and I watch y'all every week really appreciate your videos I'm not much of a saltwater fish eater although I do love redfish and lemon fish a grouper is very tasty I hadn't eating them a long time keep up the good work looking forward for more videos
Watched this video on Mike's channel and wondered why you didn't cast where he was casting to catch all the pompano from the start. That's what we do. Cast in the exact same spot. Share the wealth. Great video.
At first, I thought you were filming a Jetty Rocks Fishing video but I kept the faith and you redeemed your self. You should have worn shoes or boots, don't know how you made it. Great video !
killer pomp video and kudos for shout out to fish monger reed the stampede love that guy what a skilled professional with a knife that dude know how to clean and use every part of a fish! love you tuggg hope ur holidays were great happy new year if i dont hear or see from u on here
Merry Christmas Ian, Krystal & Bianca! Great video Ian! What’s better than a quick limit day fishing, than bbq grilled fillets. Sweet meal. As an Atlantic Canadian, my feet were freezing for you, while I watched you fish. Lol. Thanks for sharing!!! Happy New Year!
My two favorite tubers together again, it was cold for sure. You guys did well for the conditions. Great vid Ian, hope to see you guys togeter more often, then I get to see it from both views! Keep Them Rods Bent!
Merry Christmas and happy New Year to you all. Not gonna lie, thought this was gonna be a Tug Trash gets skunked video early. Glad you pulled out the win.
It’s funny you ask about the Xmas tree …. My wife and I are constantly changing the lights back and forth … I like the colors and she likes the white …. So ya we have white lights 98% of the time 🤷♂️ 😂
I love your channel I've watched all your videos, i love how crystal and Bianca are so involved you have an amazing family keep up what you're doing and ignore the critics
Hey Tug up in N.E. if that ice man came around, even 30° temps, we'd be on the end of our driveways or running down the street to catch it. N.E. sells more ice cream in the winter than any other time of the year. I've got my money, I'm ready for your ice cream truck!!! ❤
Darn sure a nice catch of Pompano. And those 'poor man's tarpon' (aka: lady fish) are a blast to catch on light tackle! (and they make great chum too!) And Mike needs to move that friggin' cooler somewhere else in the boat. Tripping all over that thing trying to work back there fishing. There isn't enough room in that boat for that thing to ride back there. JMO
Reminds me of a day on Lake Norman! My dad and his buddy had me whooped all day,both had limited out and I had caught only one striped bass all day and using the same artificial lures. Day was over and we were heading to the landing when I saw a gull working a cove near the landing. Told dad that we needed to check it out because I saw that bird that morning. Caught a 28’12” striped bass on 10lb line! It was AWESOME SAUCE! The ones that they kept would fit down the throat of the one I caught! 😜
@ I had eaten so much crow that day I was choking on feathers. But it was worth it at the end of the day! Keep it on ice for 2 days so I could show it off then had it mounted!
Tug I love this video and your tree looks absolutely wonderful. I'm a type of guy that likes the colorful lights and the white lights but my family also just did what we had so that's really cool and that dinner looked delicious oh my goodness thank you for everything you do and hope you had a wonderful Christmas and a wonderful Thanksgiving I can't wait to see more from you.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Guys! Great video!! I've only caught small pompano surf fishing off the beach around St George and never knew they pulled that hard!! I see now they fight a lot like a permit using their wide bodies against the current. I would have probably been in shorts but I would have had shoes on...had a red snapper dorsal fin embedded in my toe before and that was the last time!! Haha!
That was a great Video Ian. Thank you for allowing me to come along. I pray y'all are having a great get away. Happy NEW YEAR. Tell the ladies hello for me. God Bless
Pompano is the only fish I eat out here in the States. Vinegar, salt, garlic, onions, ginger and coconut milk. The best fish soup you'll ever eat with hot rice. Game ova.
LOL, I'm not the only one telling folks to keep the catch below the gunnel. Also, it's amazing how catching fish will warm up the fingers and toes. Thanks for sharing. White lights
Love what you're doing Brother... I been a subscriber of Mike for a long time as well. Both of you in the boat..Bonus. P.S why do I always watch Mike's version first😂.
Yeah I heard you guys are on the inlet up there we're getting pompano from the first cold fronts in November, that's about when we started getting them here in Brevard. Went across the street and caught a couple today actually, love this time of year,, been blanching sand fleas since early Oct.
Been watching for years. Glad that you started RUclips and not away from your family for so long on a Tug boat. NEW BEGINNING. ❤
Use what you have. Overcome and adapt. Heartbreak ridge. Clint Eastwood. You are making awesome videos. Thank you for sharing your life. You and your wife are so loved by all of us. ❤

You can never have enough lights, I like the old traditional bulbs also

Tug I'm glad..😊😊😊 your catching fish after Mike took the best fish spot in the boat
Mike can't catch them all! 😊
Darn sure a nice catch of Pompano. And those 'poor man's tarpon' (aka: lady fish) are a blast to catch on light tackle! (and they make great chum too!) And Mike needs to move that friggin' cooler somewhere else in the boat. Tripping all over that thing trying to work back there fishing.

I absolutely love your videos I really appreciate you posting them and making them
Thanks for watching!

Sounds like an awesome day out on the lake!
@ I had eaten so much crow that day I was choking on feathers. But it was worth it at the end of the day! Keep it on ice for 2 days so I could show it off then had it mounted!
40” long

Happy New Year to all of you!
Happy New Year!

Always nice to see my old stomping grounds still producing fish ! cir 1985.
Nice fish boys.
It’s always good to hear from other Florida fishermen!
@ liberty wrecked Mindanao still out there to the NE. Some of the best Cobia fishing I used to do there.
Try catching a permit on the fly.. Then a Tarpon, bonefish, and I almost gotta snook.
Once again. Love that Cuba

Happy New Years to you guys! Keep up the good work!

Happy New Year to you both. 🎉
