Trolling and Dropping LIVE BAITS on Nearshore Reefs

Morning. We are about ready to go offshore. Got a beautiful morning. Amazing conditions. Flat, flat, but a little chop on the water. So it ought to be a good morning. So we're gonna get out on the water and get started. Oh, nice little hardtail. Or is that a squirrelfish? Stop moving, I can't tell. Hardtail. Oh, oh, I got a remora. I got a, this is a remora. It's just like dead weight. Oh yeah. Oh my God. Look at the size of this remora. Look at that. Gosh dang it. And he swallowed my hook. Gosh dang it. On this line over here, I've got a cigar minnow on a treble hook with a floral leader, no stinger. And over here, I got the pink Yozuri deep diver. So we're gonna troll over the reef. There's fish jumping on it right now. So we're gonna troll right directly over the top of it. See if we can get something to bite. Might be bonita. We hope for tuna or mahi, but I'll take anything to get the day started. Lot of fish down there. Nope, he dropped it. What the? I don't know what's going on. Oh, I caught my own line, damn it. On a Spanish. Is that bonita or king? What the heck is that? I can't tell what that is. That's nothing normal. Is that Spanish? Big Spanish? Wow. Pulled the hook into the net. Dude, I got a bass, 23 incher. It wasn't pulling any drag. Oh yeah, bait's getting busy up here. You want to go cast to it? Do you want to go cast to this bait busting? There we go. Oh my God. That's got to be a tuna. Holy crap. Come on, be on braid. Hold up, hold up. My God, that was the longest run I've ever had anything go on. That was just ridiculous. Oh my God, I tail hooked him. Foul hooked bonita. That's why. My God, that's why. Thought I had tuna and it was a foul hooked bonita. I had him for a second. Oh yeah, there we go. Oh, fudge knuckle. Oh, he's still on there. He's just swimming towards me. Load up on shark bait. Whoa, this is a good one. Unless he's tail hooked again. Oh my God, they're all underneath me. They're with them. Right here, Casco. Oh God, are these AJs? This sucker's putting up a good fight. He's doing the circle of death. Oh God, don't, don't. Come on. Got him. Oh, and he de-hooked himself. Nice. He wasn't that big, just a fighter. Don't shake. Just get in there. There you go. Oh yeah, that's better. Well, not much better. This is a dink. What is this? God, I am the red snapper dink king today. Hook pulled. That's a beast. Oh, that might've been a shark. Cut my 50 pound leader.
