The best ocean fishing I've ever had was in Tampa Bay off of Westshore Blvd; in a trailer court and the back of it that touch the water. I caught three huge sea trouts within 15 minutes. The best fight any fisherman could ask for. I gave them away to the first couple that I met. Later on I was told I could have gotten big bucks for them at any of the fancy restaurant along the shore.This was back in 1976!

I'm a 29 year old woman who does not fish. Why do I love this so much 😅😂😅😂😅😂

don’t leave the keys inside the car in the middle of the everglades AGAIN 😂😂😂

Great video... always advocating conservation and just plain common sense, which, unfortunately, ain't too common anymore... well done! I'm an Alafia River Rat, born and raised on Tampa Bay... 64 years...

Loved the video 👍👍 Back yard is looking great also.

I saw that coming before you even took him off the hook!! 🤣😂🤣🤣

Never could find out the origin of calling the herons Fred. I was a charter captain out of Destin Florida for over 20 years and and a deckhand for 10 and its always been Fred.Some used to say( back in the 70s), that the name stemmed from Fred Jones, who was one of the old time fishermen in Destin.

Love the dialog with Fred 😂.

Awesome video, love that early morning bite.😎 Don't forget to stretch your calves out before you do all that running to the rods... Can't have you hurt before the keys trip🤦😅👍

Absolutely beautiful Brant

That was a very nice morning. Have fun on your trip.

Brother, You make me want to fish every time I see your videos.

You are leading a blessed life...hard work pays. Can't wait for the vids

Great video Brant! Nice catch & release. Lol Thanks for sharing!

Great video Brant those are some nice redfish I almost cried for you and you lost that keeper going home 2 hotdogs is not a very good consolation

Great video, Brant! Looking forward to your trip to the Keys. Thanks!

That keeper said not today sir!!! Lol he knew you didn't have time to mess with him lol

Shore fishing is my favorite way to fish. It has it all. Great yin/yang ending! They gotta win too! Nice pad!

Nice day! You were on them!

Brant, Great video. I love how simplified you make the presentation and the bait selection. How many of us waste the day by over thinking our presentation, bait selection and location. Great job!

Thanks Bert. Hope you have a great Keys trip.

Nice job with the reds! That keeper didn't want to be kept. Have a fun and safe trip to the Keys. Will be waiting on your videos in S. Fla. Thanks for sharing

Great content as always. Some fantastic Redfish. Best of luck down at the Keys. Looking forward to the videos from down there.

Great video Brant. Waiting on the next

Fred likes to sleep in, he’s smart.’

Fred is your good luck charm. And now he's laughing at you. Making your dinner before you get the fish in the cooler. I understand the McFish is being sold in McDonald's. Lol

I hate it when my fish are too big! Great video Brant!

Nicely done keep what you need release the rest .. Preservation

Cool video Great day thanks for sharing 😊

Wow, you are so honest.

When you say somebody , you definitely mean brad lol Freddy in a pinch 😂 for the Fred costume

Every red fish strives to pass the 27 inch mark around him

how fun was that!!! thanks so much!!! ❤❤❤

Safe trip Brutha !!! You're gonna hammer down there!!!!

Great video & presentation! I'm currently trying to get back into fishing after almost a decade with far & in-between fishing trips (career & health). This video has increased my "fishing fever" ! Hopefully my luck will be half as good as yours! Lol

Haha , the keep became an escaper. 😄

Dang it!!! Thanks for show

👍 That was a great morning of fishing! I'm glad you had time for it before your trip. Safe travels brother. Looking forward to the videos from your trip. 👍

Awesome morning on the Reds. Wish I could get one like that up here in NC. Good luck in the Keys.

I'm absolutely convinced you let that first keeper go on purpose. I've never seen someone react so slowly to a fish getting away. lolol

5 stars on the Conservation aspect bro✊🏽. Well done, stay safe out there.

Great morning fishing !!! looking forwards to the keys trip 😅😅

Was that "Calf Rip Beach"? That'd be a good name for it! Haha! (Glad you've healed) To me, that is the PERFECT fishin' spot. Absolutely gorgeous!

Terrific video. Cant wait to see the keys! Travel safe.

He got away!🤣 It’s not just me😂

Redfish love mud minnows. Flounder too.

Thank you for recommending the ninja dagger rods and Penn real combo. Although I did not get them through you I still love them.

Haha..that was funny. Great channel, new sub here. Keep on keeping on bro. Great stuff

By do i miss fishing soundside early morning..... Moving back soon to enjoy

Come on, man! I'm struggling to hook my first redfish and you're over here dropping keepers! Great video as always, looking forward to seeing the next few!

You must almost double your casting distance with that long wade out! 😊

I like Fred 😂

you guys should have a shark bait section in your store and call it the “oo-ha-ha” after what brad always calls shark bait 😂😂😂

Looking forward to the trip, be safe Brother

Tuyệt vời 👍👍👍

I highly recommend putting in a new white PVC fence. That would definitely clean up your backyard.

Can’t wait to go on this adventure with you. I know it’s gonna be great.

Bite is on brant, no need for rod holder😋🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾 much luv dude

“Impordant” is not a word.

I really appreciate your tips ,as in how to catch your own bait and little things like fish names and sizes for legal purposes and really do enjoy it when you use your fish camera thank you and best of luck.

Great morning of fishing. I have to say that last definitely was a googen moment.

You buy the Fred costume I will rock it at the store.

Awesome.

That was a honey hole today! Cheers

BRO you SO gotta stop in the Palm Beaches and do a segment on your way down to the Keys we've got ALL THAT AND MORE when it comes to fishing COME ON DOWN!!

Nice bite. Kinda felt like someone didn't wanna clean a fish🤔. Have fun in the keys man!

Lol,when i see that fish swin right back through your hands

All of that fishin you be doing now you have to build a deck for MaMa. She workin it!

You got your mind on the keys broke your concentration take care buddy

( walks up to Brant and hands him a landing net)

What type of line do you use for surf fishing

I love your ethics with the length

Hey Brant had to ask if you guys sell salt native casting spoons?

Great vid. Fun spot. Sorry the only thing I think as I watch the first 3 fish pulled up is how annoying the fishing regulations are.

Hey Brant what size egg sinker do you use on your Carolina rigs when you are dong this kind of fishing?

How does Fred find him where ever he goes fishing? That’s amazing

"It's a game of inches today"- SOML

so if i could recommend something to you.. get ankle bands and attach magnets to them. those 1 sided mags work best, the magnets Repel sharks and Rays

You definitely had a nicer morning that I did. Excellent video, Brant, as they all are. Enjoy your trip and show us lots of fish.

The few tournaments I've fished always had a category Red With Most Spots.

Nice!!’ Come to Neptune beach (Jax) do some surf fishing 😀

Just cut the fish 1inch and you can keep it 😂

Don't forget to fish the end of the road in Yankeetown, FL 😊

If you make Fred shirts I will buy 10 of them immediately

Would be cool to see you stop somewhere from Sarasota/Bradenton down to Englewood/Boca area. Some cobia and kings are around Venice jetties, someone caught a 40"+ barracuda two weeks ago aswell. Always giant snook around. Tarpon all through the area, especially down near Englewood and Boca beaches. I know Englewood may not be the most known, but theres some solid captains around too and Im sure youd have a great time offshore! You got plans to go out with StanzFam like Brad did? Either way thisll be a cool trip! Making mine early next year in our 'winter'!

Lol that's tough

Holy crap man you caught 3 big mullet in a bait net at your feet almost. That’s worth bragging about up here where I live in Florida where we eat mullet. But then you threw out the head on a hook and got a Bull Red from the bank. That’s impressive.

Dont pass up this time without getting your wood fired pizza. We are just up the road from naples

Excellent video what camera you use?

He did NOT want to be eaten! Lol

Yeah you let that keeper one go

Scissors and trim a tail lol. I’ve seen it done but I’ve never done it myself. I told the fellow on the state park pier he was gonna get his ass dusted if they caught him trimming tails to keep fish. He already had his one over slot in a cooler.

Wish I knew where you are fishing. Been everywhere I know of, and haven't caught a fish in 3 months. 😢

youre gonna be close to where i fish at., when you go to naples have fun be safe

Hey what type of sinkers do you use in the surf? I’m here in pcb and the waves are crazy

Are you fishing the Mississippi Deep Sea Fishing Rodeo this weekend for the Fourth of July. They have it every year great prizes

Man!..I'm a fisherwoman, but I really need to learn the rules of the water, because I would have most definitely kept those 3 large fish and called it a day..

Do you use a leader on that rod set up also what pound test???

What reel are you using ?

👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
