RIG IT RIGHT BY WRIGHT AND MCGILL ON TODAY S RIG IT RIGHT SEGMENT I M GOING
TO SHOW YOU WHAT CAPT TADD AND I WERE USING OUT THERE ON THIS EPISODE. HAPPENS TO BE ONE
OF MOST IMPORTANT THINGS YOU CAN HAVE ON THE END OF YOUR LINE RIGHT THERE - LAZER SHARP
SEA CIRCLE HOOKS. THESE ARE 6 AWT. THEIR NEEDLE-POINT SHARP AND THE ONLY HOOKS MADE IN AMERICA.
AND THE LINE WE WERE USING OUT THERE TODAY FINS XS BRAID. IT S AN EIGHT STRAND BRAID.
IT S THE SMOOTHEST LINE I EVER USED IN MY LIFE. I WAS USING BLUE AND IT ALSO COME IN
ORANGE AND GREEN IF YOU LIKE THOSE COLORS. NOW FOR THE SEAGUAR WE RE USING OUT THERE,
I WAS USING THE 50 POUND AND TADD WAS USING 60 POUND. IT S THE BEST ON THE MARKET ESPECIALLY
WHEN YOU CAN USE SEAGUAR FLOUROCARBON AND CATCH A KINGFISH. AND THE RODS WE WERE THROWING
OUT THERE TODAY - THE NEW OFFSHORE RODS FROM WRIGHT AND MCGILL. I WAS THROWING THE SEVEN-SIX
AND TADD WAS THROWING THE SEVEN FOOTER. I HAD IT RIGGED UP WITH A 7000 SIZE SABALOS
REEL AND TADD HAD A 6000 SIZE SABALOS REEL ON HIS ROD. THEY MAKE THEM FROM A FIVE ALL
THE WAY UP TO 8000 SIZE AND I TELL YOU WHAT, IT GETS THE JOB DONE ON BIG PERMIT, BIG TARPON,
ANYTHING THAT SWIMS OFFSHORE. GREAT ROD! IF YOU ALL EVER GET A CHANCE TO HEAD DOWN TO
PORT CHARLOTTE AND FISH WITH TADD, I HIGHLY SUGGEST IT. ONE OF MY FAVORITE GUYS TO FISH
WITH IN THE WORLD. REMEMBER ONE THING THOUGH - EVERY FISHING SEASON STARTS RIGHT HERE AT
DICK RIG IT RIGHT BY WRIGHT AND MCGILL RIGHT THERE BY THAT PERMIT?
(LAUGHS) OR IS THAT A CUDA? WE KINDA GOT REPOSITIONED AFTER THAT LAST FISH, AND
TADD S BUGGING ME TO CATCH A FISH. (LAUGHS) (MOCKING) I WANT TO CATCH
ONE! WE RE GOING TO SEE IF TADD CAN CATCH ONE TOO. HERE HE GOES . . . I GOT
EM! OH, DUDE, I LOST HIM. DID HE HIT IT? YEAH, OH NO, HE S ON RIGHT THERE.
HE S COMING AT ME. HE S COMING TO US. HE S ON! YEEEEEAAAAAH!
(LAUGHS) FINALLY! MIGHT DO A DOUBLE HERE? GOING FORWARD BOYS.
LET HIM RUN. YOU GOT PLENTY OF LINE. PLENTY OF LINE. THAT S A BIG PERMIT TADD.
YES, IT IS. THAT S A SMOKER THERE. YOU KNOW HOW YOU CAN TELL THEIR SMOKERS?
YOU RE SUPPPOSED TO SAY BLAIR HOW CAN YOU TELL IF THEIR SMOKERS? NO, BLAIR - HOW
CAN YOU TELL THEIR SMOKERS? (LAUGHS) FROM THAT SMOKE THAT S PEELING OFF THE REEL.
ARE WE GOING TO HAVE TO CHASE THIS ONE? YEAH WE ARE OH, MAN! COME
ON BLAIR THERE HE GOES! (LAUGHS) CAN I CHASE HIM IN REVERSE? HOW MUCH LINE YOU
GOT LEFT? NOT A LOT? I CAN SEE . . . I CAN SEE UNDERNEATH! ALL RIGHT, YOU
NEED TO GO TO THE BOW REAL QUICK. GOING TO THE BOW HANG ON!

ONE? DIGGITY, DIGGITY, DIGGITY (LAUGHS) HOW MANY TIMES DO YOU DO THIS AND
IT STILL MAKES YOUR HEART BEAT LIKE CRAZY? EVERY SINGLE TIME, IT NEVER GETS OLD.
IT S ALMOST BETTER WHEN YOU DON T SEE HOW BIG THEY ARE. YOU KNOW BLAIR,
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE USED YOUR RODS AND I LIKE THEM. I REALLY DO. THEY VE GOT
GREAT ACTION, THEY GOT GREAT BACKBONE AND THEY EVEN LOOK PRETTY TOO! COMING TO THE TOP
AGAIN, I LIKE WHEN HE STAYS ON TOP. EVER CATCH ANY AFRICAN POMPANO AROUND HERE?
I NEVER HAVE CAUGHT ONE YET. I HAVE YET TO CATCH ONE MYSELF. IS THIS ONE
A NETTER? THIS ONES A NETTER. A NETTER! THIS IS JUST LIKE A FISH
THAT ANYBODY WOULD CATCH OF A LIFETIME. PUTTING THE WOOD TO HIM? HE S GOT
SOME UMPH, MAN. HE REALLY DOES. IT S PROBABLY THIRTY POUNDS. I LIKE THE
FACT THAT THOSE RUNS ARE GETTING SHORTER THOUGH. IS THE TROLLING MOTOR ALRIGHT?
YEAH, YOU RE FINE. RIGHT HERE . . . HERE HE IS. WHERE DO YOU WANT HIM? RIGHT HERE
BABY! PLEASE? HE S A LITTLE BIG FOR THE NET. (LAUGHS) YEEEEEESSSSS
. . . THAT S MY BIGGEST EVER! WOW! THAT IS A MONSTER DUDE. (LAUGHS)
THIS IS WHAT YOU CAN GET WHEN YOU COME FISHING WITH CAPTAIN TADDPOLE BABY! THAT IS A MONSTER.
WELL, WE GOING TO CLOSE THE SHOW ON THE LAST FISH Y ALL, BUT TADD ASKED COULD
WE DO ONE MORE I HAD TO CATCH ONE. SO HERE S TADD S ONE MORE CHARTER
