Massive Snook Fight from Paddleboard + Special Redfish 

Dude I know I'm not tripping, but the smaller red you caught just before. The tagged one looked like it also had a tag,.. review footage !!!

I appreciate you including the fish you caught at 18:53, I catch those way too often!

Massive snook indeed!!! Way to go Justin!! 🎣

cool to see those big guys up in the shallows, its getting to be that time of year when they just need the sun! its one of my favorite types of fishing! quality vid too

P.S. FWC used to give out a T-shirt for a tagged fish. I got one. Good job.

I love catching big reds and snook in the shallows in my Hobie kayak. Nothing better than a nice sleigh ride. Love the videos 🎣🚣‍♂️🤙🏻

I’ve caught a couple over here in Tampa with the exact same tag. You’ll get a letter and some CCA merch for the adopt program. I got a hat and sun gaiter a few months back. Dope video bro!

Literally cringing at the lack of urgency to get the grass off the line. Insanely lucky 😂

That snook headshake @9:00 was an epic camera catch. Had a similar fight that cost me my phone on a NLBN 3" paddle. You the man!!

Amazing snook! Love your paddleboard fishing adventures!

POV: U saw Justin menedez fishing ur spots and said hi 👍👍

Yo Justin not sure if you read these but I've been watching you from the beginning. I'm across the state in st Petersburg FL, well p park.well jus want to say you kill these videos , I watch a lot of fishing videos and yours are hands down the best.. your 1 hell of a angler.. you ever come this way hit me up I've got 30 plus years of fishing these waters!

21:21 soon as u said they disappear one jumped in the top right corner and u didn’t see it lol then caught what looked like 2 tagged redfish back to back. N u didn’t see the first tag lol 22:03 u may be able to see it if u pause it

Hell of a Snook! Great job!

I've never caught a tagged fish either, but I have shot two banded ducks back in the 70s. That was pretty cool!

I caught a tagged redfish a few years ago and received a T-shirt for providing the 'caught data' to the number on the tag.

Great video Justin keep up the great videos

awesome videos man, one of my favourite youtubers

You should do a paddle board fishing only channel!

Nice catch on the tagged red! I used to tag snook for the state and I caught one in the Turkey Creek area (a juvenile snook) and it traveled down to the keys! Also, the biologist I tagged for caught one of my tagged snook down in West Palm Beach N had tagged it at Long Point in the mosquito impound area. I had also re-caught some of the snook I tagged, but that was not much of a surprise. I actually mapped ut one honey hole and caught several snook in exactly the same spot. Lots of fun! Tight lines Justin!!

Awesome experience,I love your content.

CCA was having a tagging program and was giving away stuff awhile back, youth and adult prizes, I've caught a red in Tampa bay that had two tags in it a few years back,Great Video, thanks for sharing..

Like bro how did you beat that snook when he/she hit that lure on top my eye was like this 😳😱

🔥🔥🔥 good shit my brother

Here ya go

Caught a tagged Spec Trout in South Carolina once but didn't find the tag until I fileted it. The tag had been incapsulated under the skin. Called the ph# on the tag, which was the SC DNR. They asked about size, location caught, etc. and asked for the I.D. # on the tag. They sent me a document, which detailed the date, location, size, etc. when the fish was tagged by the SC Dept. Of Natural Resources.

You da man!!! 🤙

Love your videos

Fish came from Crystal river!! Cca is a great organization.

Hi. First of all, awesome videos. IMO the best fishing channel. I would like to know the settings on your dji camera. I just got one and from your videos, the quality is awesome. Thanks in advance

Saw the tag also, figure the odds on that !!

Amazing video, and what a snook! Curious if you are recording straight off of the GoPro mic when on the paddleboard, and if you have the waterproof case on?

Love the vids but would like to know were in Florida you fish

Great video bro that was sick

Hi Justin I have been a fan for a long time

Justin give me that slammer for Xmas

I’m saying… Are you going to get that fish, or what? I was nervous for you.

You win a boat but you gotta be registered

I thought paddle boarding was supposed to be a relaxing time on the water 😂 Let's get back to the video and see if he lands this big snook

bruh where did you go that had grass?

Sheeeeeesh

Right before you caught the tagged redfish the redfish before also had a tag at 22:04

Do the tides matter when your fishing in the mangroves like this?

Do u not loose out on fish strikes n less distance with 30#braid on tge 2500

6:26 hookup was crazy congratulations

You’re not scared of crocs or alligators
