Bridge Fishing for GIANT SHEEPSHEAD in Pensacola
We are at the first piling we're going to drop on.
Let's see how the day is going to go.
I'm on!
I'm off!
Alright.
I got owned there, so...
I guess I had better up my tackle a little bit.
Let's go here.
The heavier.
20 pound beyond braid on this rod.
Just a little heavier.
I'm on again.
Wasn't that giant just a fighter?
He wasn't that big, he was just fighting hard.
I thought he was going to be bigger than that.
It's alright.
First one of the day on the board.
Alright.
Definitely keeper size.
Not a giant, but...
16.
He's a good eating size.
There we go.
He done.
Ah!
Missed one.
Hook pulled.
Alright, got a good one here.
Yep, that's a good one.
Don't want to lose him.
Good one!
Alright.
Not a giant, but...
He'll definitely eat.
Where the heck did I put the ruler?
There we go.
He's about 18.
That's not bad.
Usually where there's one, there's more.
So...
This is what I've started doing.
Jack showed me this.
He always uses two crabs on one hook.
So...
I've been doing that this morning and
I've been having pretty good luck on getting bites.
Got him!
Yes!
Is that a sheephead?
Let's see.
Oh yeah, that's a good one.
Another good one.
Dang.
Another nice one.
Sweet.
Barely hooked too.
Alright.
He's a little smaller, but...
I kind of like eating the smaller ones better anyway.
Gosh dang it, stop it.
He's almost 17.
Yep.
Definitely keeper size.

Alright.
Just got nibbled on right here.
Picked my fiddlers off.
Let's see if we can hook up.
All the way down.
Right there.
Got him.
Woo!
Better than I thought.
Whoa!
Yeah, better than I thought.
Nice.
I knew there was somebody down there.
Picking a... gosh, dog it.
I think this guy is.
We'll let this guy go.
He's a little small.
Let him grow up a little bit.
He's only about 14 and a half, 15.
So...
Let's go see if his big brother's there.
Alright, here's a little technique that I use
that gets me some bites,
and it actually works quite a bit.
I just call it swinging the jig,
but just like a pendulum,
you've got it hanging straight down right there.
I just bring my rod tipper
and just let that slowly
swing down back to the bottom again.
I get a lot of bites on that when I do that.
Oh!
Ah!
Come on.
This is a good one.
First one that's pulled any drag.
There we go.
Really?
Let's see.
Oh yeah, that's easier than mine.
I need to get one of these.
Is he on there?
21, almost 21.
Hair below 21.
Yeah, by far.
Little redfish.
It's a pretty one.
Yeah.
Oh yeah, that's a good one.
What?
That's a good one.
He looks like he'll be 20.
Nice.
Oh, oh God.
Woo!
Golly.
That's another good one.
Dang.
He ain't wanting to give up.
Whoa!
Nice.
No, he's only 21, but he's a fat 21.
Look at the size of that.
That's a good one.
I think I'm going to let him go.
Yep.
Alright, that one's too big.
I don't want to try and fillet it anyway.
We'll let him go.
Huh?
Seven pound, you think?
I need to get a scale.
God dang it!
Son of a...
Ha, ha, ha.
