    Congratulations on that snook, great sized and sorry about the shark, but more importantly, you still have all your digits 🤗. Love seeing your garden, soooo many carrots and once your trellis is covered from the squash, it’ll look anazing! Thank you for sharing Erica, I always enjoy your videos 😃

    Nice video… I have fished many of these same places .. downtown/Hillsborough River can be hit or miss at times but I have hooked a bull shark on top water on the exact same sandbar where you hooked yours..I have fished the area where you caught the snook many times and even with live pilchards but never had any luck in that area

    My dad was stationed at McDill AFB in the late 1960s. I loved Tampa. We used to camp and fish at a place called Twin Lakes, I'm not sure if it is still there, I think it was drained by a sink hole.
    I caught my first bass on a red and white Lazy Ike there.
    I'm from north central Arkansas.

    Should give the Braden river a shot sometime. I live on this river about an hour south of you. Wife and I caught 4 Redfish....4 Snook....2 ladyfish (who cares) in roughly two hours time yesterday. See dolphins several times a week. Had a large sting ray swim past the boat just to do a uturn and come pace the trolling motor right next to the boat for a good 10 minutes. Sat and fished around a half dozen manatees last week. Few gators from time to time. Otters seldom but once in a while. Woke up to first time ever seeing Green parrots in my trees. All in my backyard...absolutely love this river. Give it a shot if you happen to find the time. Short drive. Either way, great video.

    Potatoes seemed like such a great idea until about half way through the season and I realized how much effort I was putting into growing something that costs like $5 to buy a 10 pound sack. It was a 1 season adventure for me.

  • @chriss.2776
    @chriss.2776 14 днів тому

    The equipment is matched perfect for the size of fish. It shows great sportsmanship. My personal preference
    grip for a rod that SIZE would be in wood. As I’m wrestling with the fish my hand tends get a little clammy and
    Seeps better o the handle. I getter a better grip on the grip. 🤓👍
    Way too cool! 😎

    @Its_me_SEFF 16 днів тому +1

    At 10:30 I started grinning. The bite, the fight, the shriek of the reel. An adrenaline rush like a roller coaster ride. The moment you tried to lift the fish into the boat, I almost died. It's lucky that "only" the fishing line broke. How does it feel to be bitten by an angry shark? I have no idea, but I'm not really keen on finding out.
    Have a nice day or night today. take care stay safe
