That creature you asked about is a Ragged Sea Hare. It is a shell less mollusk not a nudibranch, also not a regular sea hare. Bursatella leachii is the latin name.

As dedicated Pompano fishermen/women the wife and I were thrilled to see this video. Lesson learned: Just because you have active bait in the water and pompano swimming by doesn't mean you're going to get a bite. Your rig is very clever...well done.

This is one of the best offshore underwater videos I've seen! It's so clear! Please Post More!!

Man I could watch these underwater videos all day!!!

Absolutely, amazing footage. If you can do a few more, I would gladly appreciate it. Make me wish I had a camera on my line. Please don't stop

At 6:39 it might be a Hairy Sea Hare a type of sea slug. Love the UW video. Wish I had a camera like it last week when something picked up the green FishGum I was using and took off. Almost spooled me. Broke off at the hook with 30# mono.

So glad you finally got this video up. With all the social media teasers I was looking forward to seeing it. Great footage. Thank you!

This underwater footage really does answer the life long question, how in the world do fish take your bait all the time without being hooked. Literally the bait was in the pompano and permits mouth and then they spit out the bait and the hook. I am sure a lot of the time the hook is spit out without the bait on it. Just amazing footage that answers questions from us anglers. Please continue to post more of these underwater videos.

The sand volcano is typical of a mantis shrimp burrowing a hole. I watched this growing up in Hawaii. Their many legs can produce the volume of sand that is thrown up as they dig a home or clean out their burrow. Then again I've also seen this type of activity from underground springs but it's usually a constant stream then a short burst. Nice vid.

I love these type of videos, the underwater stuff that shows fish behavior.

Love the new cam, great job Tony! Looking forward to seeing more.

Cool stuff! The creature look like a sea slug to me....great footage on the fish, amazing the Blues as many as there were not one took the bait. Thanks for sharing

I wish I could apply what I learned from your fish cam. Being disabled now, I can't get to the surf to well anymore, and I have to live, vicariously, through all you other fisherpersons. I wish you well and I have subscribed and look forward to more content like this.

Sometimes called a rabbit hare. Been in the saltwater aquarium hobby for over 30 years. Fun harmless animals. Clean up crew to eat debris

Very cool to see! What a great tool to help fine tune how to catch more fish. Looking forward to seeing more!

Really cool what you’re doing! The camera is a super benefit to understanding how fish really interact with baits.

Your videos are amazing, congratulations you are a great fisherman!👍🎣😊 Your pompano catch was fantastic Hug!!!

Brilliant. I’ve always wondered what was going on down there. I’ve also stopped using floats because it looks like they get hit as much as the bait, but I’m definitely going to try your solution. Thanks for the great video.

This is really really cool. Love to watch more footage!! 🤙🏼

That was AMAZING! A big thank you for the video, from a viewer in Brazil!

Absolutely awesome-footage like this helps to understand how fish brain works -post more videos!

Great video and a very underrated channel here. i see so much potential with the new camera rig. i’ve never seen anything like that before except in video games! this is a whole new level of fishing.

Amazing incredible one of the best informational surf videos I have seen!

Brilliant! ...always wanted to see that moment and the behaviour of fishes with the bait👍👍👍

This guy is a true youtube pioneer. 👏

This video is absolutely amazing. We can all learn from this great video. Please make more I'm hooked 😁😁😁

Great video! Good way to learn and adjust fishing skills! Thank you!

Jesus!! That was rad.... I'm a fly fisherman. In CO. I have 3 permit under my belt. One gran slam in 🇨🇺 GOD BLESS YOU!!!!

That is a great perspective. The addition of the little float makes all the difference. Great water clarity helps too. That unknown creature seems to me to be some sort of nudibranch.

this is so cool to watch!! super clear! please do more videos like this!

Great video, a lot of important content on how fish hit your bait! Thanks 👍

GREAT video! The amount of information and knowledge that can be gained from these videos is incredible. Wow!

Loved the video, awesome footage! First fish you called a the Atlantic Bumper was a school of leatherjacket or leatherback, Oligoplites saurus.

Nice insight into some of the feeding behavior of fish! Thanks for sharing the video!

Love it. Totally up for it with the cam and what you just contented for us. But dam Joe Rogan. More please

Excellent video! Keep ‘em coming! Thank you

Outstanding footage. From a fisherman and award winning video editor.

Great narration. Entertaining and exciting! Thank you! I loved it!

Great footage 👏 👍 giving you and us the opportunity to become a better fisherman

Thanks for sharing, loved the content. I strive to do underwater observation with my GoFish Cam as well, first and foremost to try and observe and learn and hopefully become better fishermen, and also because live hook-ups with the cam running are just awesome! There were many interesting aspects to this footage and I, personally, was rather surprised at the ability they had to avoid getting hooked, after having the hook fully in their mouths. Awesome footage, thanks again for taking the time and effort to do this. I've lost what could have been some awesome underwater footage because it happened after the 90-100 minute mark and the camera battery was done. Win some, lose some!

Very revealing footage. Thank you very much! Could you do some other rigs, too? That would be great.

I enjoyed this video. I rarely get to fish saltwater because I’m in the Midwest. This was very entertaining and educational

Brilliant footage thanks. I saw a product when I was in the UK fishing called Strike Magic, kind of a scent you put on the bait and it trails back (it was designed for flyfishing). Something similar might help lead the fish directly to the bait and not the float. Keep the footage coming.

Great! Very interesting. Thanks for going to the trouble. It’s interesting to see how easily fish blow out a baited hook. I like the idea of putting the float on the hook, maybe a longer shanked hook? 🤓🎣🇦🇺

I do a lot of surf fishing and this video is amazing. Very interesting that the pomps and permit wanted the floats.

Very good. Great commentary, explanations, etc. I want to go fishing .

cool vids so amazing seeing how the fish act around the bait!!!

Great video!! Excellent information!! Thank you!

Tony- amazing video & instruction- greatly appreciated your creativity & teaching God’s Speed+

Great video you earn my subscription. Never seen anything like this.

You just got yourself a new follower. Well done.

Love to see what's happening under water. Now to that float hook video!

Go fish cam and salty pompano should absolutely be sponsoring you sir, this is awesome! I have never fished in such beautiful waters, except 1 time on a "deep sea fishing charter boat" years ago, catching red snapper. I've always fished the white river for catfish and white perch. Very few sturgeon below an old (1911 or so built hydropower dam) called Williams dam in Williams Indiana. It's so rich with insanely huge catfish and lord only knows what else... this is everything I've ever wanted, to see what actually happens once your lines in the water. 💯.

amaaaaaaaaazing video ! Thank you so much !!!

Man that works great! Awesome footage!

RE floats, you could use some pop up beads (common in UK surf fishing) on the hooklength itself to get them closer to the hook. Might give you an interesting action too and would definitely lead to less potentially spooky hardware all tightly together across the rig. Amazing video! Tight lines

Bro this is an awesome video! Thank you for the info

Unique and significant footage . We want to see more.

Dang those fish are smarttt. Please more of this... Subscribed and liked.

I really appreciate this video because it is very educational and enjoyable to watch 👍👍👍

That was really great and interesting and I don’t shore fish. Great commentary I learn quite a lot about fishing from you.

Fantastic footage thank you

An old timer that I fished with frequently after my dad passed away, told me that when Fish go to test a bait.. they will take a quick nibble at it first…and if they don’t like the feel.. they move on. He was a firm believer in homemade floats from flip-flops that were soft, versus some of the Styrofoam models that are out there now. I wasn’t going to question his knowledge, and we had pretty good luck with soft floats. I also experimented with soft float-hooks.

Gostei muito do vídeo. Dá pra ter uma noção melhor sobra a ação dos pampos sobre a pesca com pequenas boias. Além de se fundir o anzol com a boia, outra dica seria usar cores mais vibrantes como o amarelo- limão (chartreuse) e o laranja fosforescente. Parabéns!

Great video, so cool to see a surf bite cam. If you ever get a chance make a video without the floats. Would love to see the difference, of how far off the bottom they sit..

That was amazing!!!

Great footage! Awesome

Fascinating. Thanks for sharing this.

I need more of these videos!

this was awsome. commenting so the algorithm shows me more

I loved it, seeing how they fed

This is such a great idea! Very cool👏🔝👏🔝

Awesome footage!

Very nice video...keep uploading Sir...i am your new subscriber from the Philippines🇵🇭

Mind blowing stuff. Just checked online and the price for that camera isn't bad and especially you get to keep memories about your catch. And you know they are going to get smaller and maybe even real time video on your glasses. Amazing video. Thanks for sharing.

That Was FRICKIN AWESOME!!!!!

Good job . Congratulations from Brazil. 👍🇧🇷.

Definitely cool video. Ordering now. Maybe attach the Gofish to the weight pointed toward the bait.

Nice man! i always was curious to see what really happen to my bait😂😂

Awesome channel! New sub! Will try Pompano fishing 🎣 here in my Boynton Beach ⛱️ 😎 on Sunday. Previously I fished the Intracoastal Waterway here with excellent results on different species of fish

You just blew my mind. Awesome vid

Great video 👍
