It’s more impressive to see a great quality video than it is to see expensive boats with fan boys decked out from head to toe in branded crap. Keep Slaying!

It's a saying on RUclips.. "youtube drag" is when people set it loose to make the vid better. He wasn't bashing Justin. No need for the name calling and internet tough guy talk. Thanks 😊

It's illegal to harass a fisherman in Florida. God bless Florida laws! Oh, and there is no such thing as "private water" in the state of Florida. It doesn't exsist here. :-) cheers!

  • @Steve-Jody

    I’m 61 and the water bottom has drastically changed in the past 13 years. Grass up to your knees. Pin fish on gold hooks and go fishing. Melbourne across from Patrick AFB used to hold a school of breeders redfish 800 strong. They rarely show them selves today and are down to about 20. But all the area were double digit numbers on everything to catch. But you have certainly changed the tactics how we used to fish the flats and you now fish the structure more. Well done young man .
