I Finally Caught a CANAL GIANT - SW Florida Kayak Fishing. The past 3 trips to Sanibel I have been trying to hook up with one of the giant canal snooks that hang out around the docks and mangroves. It took some patience and persistence but man did it pay off!
All fish were caught on BeyondBraid braided line and leader. For 10% off of BeyondBraid use the code LAWLESSTIDE on their website. Thanks for watching and tight lines!!
