Me too bro! It was a great day!

Miguel? Miguel is right whoever he is! Who is Miguel?

Thanks Micky, appreciate you and the great comment. We had a great time that day.

His channel is awesome! Great wahoo vids as well.

We caught literally a boatload of fish that day. Great time in the water with a super fisherman. I learned a lot that day.

He def has an awesome channel!

Thanks for the awesome comment! 😎

You know, not everyone appreciates my humor!! You get it!!😂😀😂

Yes it was really a great afternoon of fishing and sharing stories and experiences.

Thanks! Wait till you see one of our upcoming videos where we do a catch and cook with black bellies rose fish fried lightly breaded. Delish!

He really has an awesome channel with a lot of great info!

Should get you guys together for a photo shoot! 😂

Welcome aboard! We really appreciate you “Following Us!” 🫡

He has an amazing channel and a wealth of knowledge.

@@FloridaFishingCouple How have you been liking the cmor mapping so far? Will it help in finding those mutton spots

You know the deal! Hoowah!!

Thanks so much for your heartfelt comment. We appreciate subscribers like you who appreciate what we do.

Can’t imagine anyone disparaging Luis for his fishing acumen. He is the best fisherman I know in the upper Keys!!

Agreed!

Yes we do! It an awesome lifestyle here in the Florida Keys! Thanks for “Following Us!”

Glad you enjoy it. I hope we provided some comfort from the cold and rain.

Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for watching and supporting the channel!

I agree, we had a great time that day. Catching the fish was a bonus!

His measurement is always a bit longer; especially when measuring his fish!!😂🤣😂

Hoowah!! Go Army Brother!!

Yes, check out his channel, but remember who loves you the most! 😘😂🤣😂

Hoowah!! Go Army!!

Thanks Dawn! We plan on “mixing” it up a little going forward. Always great to hear from you and yes, that porgy was huge!

Yup, found out about the water main break afterwards. You still gotta admit Hwy 1 is a dangerous road for traffic. Thanks for watching and commenting.

You got that right! He’s got done great informative videos!

Glad you enjoyed it! We really had a great day of fishing and catching!

Thank you very much. I personally appreciate your comment.

@@FloridaFishingCouple my dad was a army sniper in Vietnam. I have a special place in my Hart for all of our veterans combat or not

Unreal right? I would have never known those fish were right there where we all fish all the time. Technique is what made the difference between not catching and killing it. Great day on the water.

Thanks! Really glad you enjoyed viewing it as much as we did making it.

We will! Fishing with Wico is awesome! Guy always catches fish!

Rarely up early unless it a Wahoo or a Swordfish day.

You know it! Only way down the island and when that road backs up it’s a true nightmare!

Thank you sir! We had a blast making it for sure!

You know him?

Glad you enjoyed and came along!

Lots of local knowledge and know his stuff. Great guy to hang out with too! 😃

Tell me more… You use eels in Florida? Where do you get them?

@@FloridaFishingCouple I catch them incidentally when I am fishing in Antigua. They are also found in the Keys. They like to hang out around structure like reefs (where there are lots of crevices) and tall grassy beds where they can ambush their prey. Most active at night. If you go after them, use 50# line so you can pull them out from the crevices which they like to wrap themselves around. They also like to coil themselves up and make a great bird's nest out of your rigging. The way to stop that is slap them on your floor hard which will stun them momentarily. Then you can go about the process of prepping it for bait strips. The next time I get one, I'll record it and send to you. After cutting the head off, roll the body in dry sand or use a dry cloth (it will leave a slippery mess behind though) to peel the skin off. Fillet, then cut into strips. I usually make 6" - 8" strips and thread it on a 10.0 hook. I use a knocker rig and chicken rig. Sometimes I put some squid for the extra scent. Might as well give em a smörgåsbord 😂

Yes, the Hyco electric bike comes very highly rated!

You're welcome! Thank you my friend!

The bottom looked pretty flat with some structure and very hard bottom.

Glad you enjoyed it Stanley. This was a fun video to make.

Thanks bro! Always appreciate your comments on ours and Heikos channel. 👍

We used 5/0 circle hooks. The reason for the slack is to ensure the weight stays on the bottom, not bouncing up and down with the waves.

Thanks a lot. It really was an epic afternoon.

Mmmmmmm, not sure what you mean… 🤔

Mmmmmm, the best place I know to find what you are looking for is the Chill on Tuesday nights (Ladies Night)! Lots of eligible ladies for you to choose from! 😀

Down where?

@@FloridaFishingCouple Islamorada close to robbys

It's called hog heaven sports bar

Yes it was! Looking forward to next time for sure!

C’mon Gman, you know us Army guys are tough! 😂 No BenGay required! 🤕

Thank you very much. ❤️

He does not charter. He’s a recreational guy like me. Lots of charter guys out there though. Let me know if you need a few names.

@@FloridaFishingCouple who do you recommend for mutton, snapper, fishing charters?

Yes! 400 lb test! That’s why I call it “rope” in the video!

This was a very successful secret joint operation. Mission accomplished! 😀

@@FloridaFishingCouple capt. reminds me of a first class i had when i was in gulf port. hoorah seabees

Epic day for sure!

Ha! That’s pretty funny! Glad you enjoyed the video!

Wow! For real…

Sixty feet or more.

No, I do not think so. You can hit him up on his channel and ask him though.

86.75.309

I know, mine too!😂🤣😂

Thanks!

Absolutely!! Go check him out here: youtube.com/@wicholee1

Between 200-300 Feet of Water (FOW)

Yeah sometimes that happens during filming and I forget to wipe the lens.

This was a good one right? We had fun making it and catching those fish.

I agree! We need more Elisabeth!!

It was a slay fest!!

Let’s hope not!!!😤

For sure! It was my pleasure to fish with him that day.
