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😭
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.
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!!
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 UA-cam 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?
Some well deserved vacation time Justin, hope you had a great time!
Hope you enjoyed your vacation man. Great video and enthusiastic as always!

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.
Awesome video, great pov almost felt like I was there!
hunting season here in pa. but still get sucked into your great videos. Florida trip looked like a great time for ya. 👍
Nice cuda🎣🎣 I think everything in the blue pond got a mouthful of teeth.😁😁😁😁
Thanks Doug!
Hello Justin, great fishing 🎣 trip. Save the hook, it's a Trophy. Have a great time and best of luck to you. 👍
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.
Cool video brother thanks for taking me with you peace out from Ohio Don T
Get em JJ,love your channel
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.
🎵"BARRACUDA" ~HEART, Is running through my brain now!🎶❤
It’s on my playlist
@@KayakCatfish One of my old faves for sure!
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!
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.
Thanks man great job 👍
Yes sirrr Florida Keys rules!!!!
Looks exciting
Great video Justin! You're gonna need stronger hooks next year. Hope you had a great vacation! Have a blessed evening.
Thank you Teri!
Oh boy here we go 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks Keith!
Nice work 🤙🤙
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…
Love the videos Justin Barracuda are awesome shark bait for future reference.
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.😊
Ok i always say you got those big cats in your neck of the woods down tack,, but you fishing in my kind of waters. That Mack you caught and yelled out how big it was , and im like,, thats a baby. Im 5'3 and caught so many as long as im am tall. Miss it really bad. Im in Oklahoma now and im out to catch same size as i did in Louisiana. Still learning
Use the cuda as cutbait! , plenty of bait there.
What a ride
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!
Have fun
Nice work Justin! I’d be at a pucker level 10 if I hooked into a shark from the kayak.
Wow; dam! Kick a$$ great video
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.
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!”
And thats what its about, the FUN!! God bless and happy 2024!!!!
Thanks!
Thank you Charles! I really appreciate all your support this year.
very nice 💯🐠
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 UA-camrs. Enjoy the stay. Can’t wait to see some big cats!
Hope you’re enjoying
That bent hook is a trophy on its own
Boa tarde amigo. E top seu vídeo. Parabéns.
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!!
have a great time.....
I could watch those snapper on UL all day.
Nice barracuda
I know you're an amazing fisherman just a suggestion maybe try a saviki rig
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.
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 to see you get a thrill from the salt water species.
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!
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
Next time your in south florida come check out Charlotte harbor.
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
Sabiki rig tipped with tiny pieces of fish bites for bait catching, or a chum bag and a cast net
Let's get a big shark here we go
If you’re shark fishing in florida always bring bolt cutters to cut the hook.
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.
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 😂
Wow!!! Barracuda
Thanks Allen!
Try tipping a Sobecki rig with those pieces of shrimp before light
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
I would love to see you land a shark on you ultra light pole would be a long fight
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
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😂😂
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!
Awesome video. Great work. Was that a TEMU hook or from a reputable manufacturer ?
Mustad
Catching them shard Barbies
Hey Justin hit me up and I will share some saltwater tips with you that will cut down on the learning curve! You did great man! Great video as always bud! Really enjoyed seeing you in the salt!
Thanks buddy
Where you staying love to make trip down there looks like a nice spot
I stayed in Islamorada
Hey Justin, when are we going to get some "Kayak Shark" gear?
Here is a question for the old guys. Does this dude sound just like Mr. Haney or what? If you know, you know😅
Bonita's are good fighters also
You can use snapper as bait as long as it's legal size.
That was epic
Come fish NC coastal waters!
“Snapper” #3 looked like a grunt, which are super common and easy to catch down there and are fair game for bait. Snappers have a mouth full of teeth; grunts have a mouth full of….orange🤔
Just watched your balloon swim away from the kayak as you speak
