Overview - Went back to Florida AGAIN to fish with BlacktipH for 4 days. Arrived on Wednesday 10/21/15 in the evening, went straight to the beach from the airport, and caught more fish than I ever have in my life (that vid will be posted later)! We fished into the night, went to Denny's for some dinner, then I checked into my hotel and edited the video I released Thursday until 2 am.

Woke up at 4:30 am to meet BlacktipH at his place because he was driving me to Miami to fish with Monster Mike for the day. I slept like a baby the whole car ride down and we met with Mike and a couple of Blacktip's friends before letting Mike lead the way to one of his secret peacock bass spots. We absolutely slayed em between the 5 of us, catching over 30 peacocks up to 4.5 lbs (that vid will be posted later too)!

Grabbed a quick lunch then met up with Double Threat charters for a shark fishing adventure! I was stoked to have a chance to catch such an awesome fish, and couldn't wait to check out Biscayne Bay.

Brent and Nick demonstrated a shark fishing technique I'd never even heard of, "kite fishing." It was a super cool method of presenting cut bait on top of the water while completely concealing the presence of any terminal tackle you had tied on. BlacktipH informed me that the big sharks are extremely cautious, and can prove to be difficult to catch at times.

The fishing started out great as Josh dropped down a strip of cuda to the bottom and hooked up with a nice nurse shark or "gummy" as he called them i
