    Justin, your skill as a fisherman really sets you apart. I'm not trying to blow smoke. I have learned so much from your videos. Your intro killed today, and the content was epic! Congrats on those beautiful beasts!

      He lives in basically the best place in the world for snook so it’s kinda hard not to be good 😂

    Your fish strike footage the past couple years is like the National Geographic of Florida fishing. This was the most entertaining fishing piece I've seen in a long time.

    What an absolutely stupendous video. I cant say enough superlatives about the photographer and you. Perfect overhead shots perfect angles and scenes. Thank you thank you thank you. I’m a 70+ old angler. I have watched you a lot due to recent knee surgery. I living vicariously thru your adventures. That whole video should win some awards.

    I caugh a 46" (my profile pic) but MUCH skinner! Is that because of the type of snook? You can check my pic, but SO much skinner. Your snook are like way taller and thicker. Good stuff bud!

    Don't let anyone tell you that a 42" snook can not weigh 30+ lbs. That one fits the bill and my PB Snook was 42" and she weighted out at 31.5lbs and looked just like the one you held there at 7:45

    I love your vids and your one of the best and educated fisher man on UA-cam, however if this is really the back waters you fought those fish WAYYYY too long and had too light of tackle to make the fight shorter , there isn’t as much oxygen in the back waters compared to waters closer to an inlet . They tend not to survive after that . Tight lines 🤙

    I had an incredible day 3 yrs ago in Sanibel Island. I went out with a buddy and guide friend of mine right at the marina before you go over the bridge to San/Cap. Its called the Shell Creek area. I was able to catch a 38” a 39” and a 37” snook. I know I had at least a 42” on but ended up breaking me off but by far my best snook fishing day ever! If you are ever in that area and want to catch giant snook give Patrick King with Kingfish Charters a call….you wont regret it!😎👊

      I fish off the same Bote board he had but I anchor with an 8’ sand spear thru the holes in the front and/or rear. Not sure why he doesn’t anchor. Maybe the water is too deep? My sand spike works great and holds for big fish and strong current
