to have a really lively mullet and mine was not even close so let's get him back in the water here we got a nice probably over slot probably 34 incher yeah and he gone all right let's get another one all right as soon as we got in the backcountry we started seeing snook immediately and uh i reached in the live well and got a live mullet that's typically what we start out with because the snook are very finicky back there and live mullet is is what works the best but as soon as i threw that live mullet in there the fish were acting like i you know you only see this about three or four times throughout the summer they were super aggressive and they just i knew right away we had to switch to top water so we me and josh both tied on some top waters and ended up having one of the most epic days we've ever had we got a couple fish coming right down the line right here all right here we go oh my gosh that was insane told you uh still on you right now the artificial is actually working better than the live bait ryan just got three strikes back to back to back i took off the mullet no good going artificial no mullet needed no mullet needed i like no mullet it's a way better rule so
