Joey, love the video brother. Always liked to hear your insight on fishing methods/techniques, I have learned alot. That being said, I have never had the chance to fish for Tarpon or bigger species of fish. Where I fish here in Long Beach, CA spotted bay bass are the most fun from shore or from my inflatable kayak. We got great Calico fishing too, however, I dont trust these boaters out by the breakwall in a cheap inflatable kayak im rocking with haha. I have been wanting to get into fishing for bigs off the end of jettys in better fisheries more down south and this brings me into a question I have had and after seeing this video I have to ask.. Assuming 100% knot strength, and your 80 lb leader, even with the lighter 20 lb mainline, your able to pull that 80 lb resistance theoretically? So same if you go up or down in leader? If thats true, why would anyone ever want to use for example, a 50-80 braid besides if your fishing for fish near rocks, etc and need that thicker diameter? But other than that you gain no benefit from strength of the braid because your relying on the knot and leader?? If anyone can give insight, I would appreciate it. Sorry for the long comment fellas. Cheers.

Thanks a lot for watching and those are some good questions. I'll start by saying all braid is not created equal. The specific line I'm using is Spider Wire Ultracast 20lb. That line has a breaking strength near 40lb. I have tested that line myself and got 36lb. To do a true test, you would have to use a line testing device which has wheels on each side and does a straight pull test. In real life scenarios, the weakest point in the line will be the knots. Knots like the FG and the PR are almost as strong as your actual line. That means if your braid is breaking at 40lb and leader at 80lb You should be able to put pretty close to that amount of pressure before you break your main line. That could happen in a fraction of a second from a headshake on a heavy if you are palming the reel. If you take anything away from this, to spite whatever lb. the manufacturere says the line is, that does not mean that that is the breaking strength. Usually that means it breaks at no less than that number. Some manufacturers line brakes closer to the number and some don't. You'll have to do some tests on your own and figure out what works best for your type of fishing.

I walked up on Joey fighting this fish. He was fighting the Atlantic as much as the fish. I had my rod in my car but not enough horsepower and it’s clear you better be wearing your big boy pants when you hook one of these bad boys. Lol I thought I was recording him on my IPhone but never hit the record button. I told him and he handed me his QR code advertising his channel and said it would be on KZitem. Subscriber now. Go Joey!

I have a similar rinse shower by Nemo, but it’s foot pump and can be refilled and used almost anywhere. Only $150 too. You can also just get a lawn pump sprayer from Home Depot or Lowe’s for $50 and they work pretty well too. So excited for the Mullet Run, I can’t wait to go! More videos on this please!

In case anyone is wondering if you try that with a Daiwa BG 4500 with 25# braid, 50# flouro leader you might get almost spooled before getting frayed off at max drag on a tarpon of that magnitude. Even an underslot snook can fray off 50# leader if it is not hooked perfectly.

Nice catch there Joey, I was at coconut point maybe the same day, I caught some lady fish and used it for live bait, caught a snook but broke my line, maybe because I did not set my drag properly. I think I reeled it in took fast. Maybe I’ll try early in the morning next time. I also was carrying cast net which I think is too heavy, need a smaller one to handle. There was so much mullet and other bait fish. When can you start reeling the fish in? Should you wait till it stops taking line? I love your videos, maybe I’ll get to see you at the beach one of these days and learn from the expert !!!

One of your best videos ever! Informative, educational, loads of action!! I have to admit though that I was surprised that you didn’t back your way out of the shore breakers with the Tarpon like you normally do. Was there a reason why you did what you did with this fish, especially with all the sharks so close and breakers so violent???
