I think these may be some tarpon, they wont mess ya up too bad aside from some cuts if you try to hand lure em. Granted i dont condone it because its typically prohibited to dock fish for em in most areas.
Bro is clearly not afraid of being dragged in because even catching a large cat fish is a whole arm workout so I can’t imagine trying to pull that big boy in
Okay picture this.... "You fall in and you never see daylight again"... Sounds perfect for the starting of a thriller movie which includes monstrous piranhas
That was a male Giant Trevally (males are black and females are grey) they definitely aren't pansies as they're one of the only species of fish that school with sharks and see themselves as equals. If you aren't a LAD then leave them alone because they'll give you a proper fight
Jump in the water and see if their still small. These travelly grow up to be well over 300 lbs. And the speed of a mako shark. But these 50 pounders can still kill a grown man with just one blow with its rock hard head plate
@@nick7928 Same principle of not chumming the docks/marinas when returning from fishing trips. Develops more risk in the water. You’re lovely though. Hi 👋
I remember years ago standing at a dock watching some guy trying to get his key ring with a magnet on a string and then his "helpful" Doberman jumped in just in time to land inside a grouper's mouth. We never saw the dog or the grouper again. I've gone snorkeling with sharks and generally am not particularly afraid of them but I am terrified of groupers.
This is how my sister and I use to catch big ass bass and other fish without a proper pole. Our first attempt, we caught “Bob the Bass” which was a fish that everyone on the peer enjoyed seeing because he was HUGE. Some old lady came running out of her house pissed, talking about how we shouldn’t mess with Bob and that fishing in general is cruel. I’m pretty sure that’s the last time I ever enjoyed it. Using a pole sucks ass!!!
These are Crevalle Jacks. Pretty common in big marinas as the charter boats that come in feed them all the time when they filet the catch of the day. They get pretty big and put a hell of a fight.
You're both right. From Wikipedia, "The giant trevally (Caranx ignobilis), also known as the lowly trevally, barrier trevally, giant kingfish or ulua, is a species of large marine fish classified in the jack family, Carangidae."
