Took 11.5 minutes to get to the real secret...the pompano panini press. Thanks Manuel. Thanks Fishbites.

Manuel..my old buddy from Winter Haven. Small world...looking good old buddy

[@evan2156]

I guess that will teach the Old King to never share anymore! Nice work.

[@marlenec9870]

I love using fish bites some old guy taught me that it was the best thing and he was right that stuff is awesome with real bait .

[@PompanoBrownie]

FYI - a sub from my channel was excited to tell me that he was getting his first two packages of Fishbites. I was surprised when he told me he was surf fishing for Pompano and Bluefish in South Africa!!!

6:02 that's a permit

[@ahayahshouse5344]

Exactly, the black side fins give it away...

[@carlschuler8997]

good for you what a story

[@rodolfomiguelserra]

Aquí en Lucena, Paraíba, Brasil, tenemos Pompanos ( Pampo ) arriba de los 15 kg, y los menores rondam los 3,5 kg. Solo buscar en UA-cam Pampo gigante en playas de Brasil para verlos. Hace dos semanas atrás mi amigo pescó uno de 14 kg, media hora y mas de 60 metros caminando por la playa hasta capturarlo. Saludos.

Nice permit

[@JuanaPerez-px9on]

👏👏👏👏👏💯

[@natesuarezfishing1355]

that was a permit in the first pic

[@domana100]

Good one chamo! What rod/reel do you use?

[@miamiwax]

the skin is the best part of the pompano :)

[@sonnyeast3862]

It was a permit not a pompano, that’s why it was never a certified record.Its still “pending”

[@soulfly4076]

brass jingles in salt water? no way???

[@whalenaut]

.....that's a permit....
notice the black patch halfway down the lateral line and the black pectoral fins..the coloration near the anal fin is also a giveaway. How did someone miss this!?

[@swooshforhire]

definately a permit.

[@capeheartriz]

they say no, been suggested it is a rare species of pompano....possibly African...but I don't know

[@brrr8904]

capeheartriz definitely not an African pompano. Not even close.

[@latarralawson5131]

[@latarralawson5131]

[@capeheartriz]
