Caught my personal best this morning while down at Boca Grande Tarpon and Goliath fishing with some buddy's. Between 350 and 400 ibs. Caught him on a saltwater catfish.
I will.post the video once my buddy trims it up some.

Dadgum Snook!!! What a toad! I’m drinking coffee and about to head to camp to do chores and not even thinking about fish. But I am now!!! That thing would eat the biggest black drum we caught back in May! I know you have more pics!

What Rod/reel setup do you use for those things? I’m looking to get a setup for those since my last experience with one.

Took about 30-40 minutes to beat him.

Nice drum. Back in the day we would go to Gandy Bridge in Tampa Bay at night and catch them on crabs. It was a blast.

We have a Penn Senator and an old boat rod with rollers in the eyes. We have caught over 100 Goliath on this rod. We use 400ib mono with 20/0 circle hooks.
