WELL WELCOME BACK FOLKS THE WINDS KINDA KICKED UP A LITTLE BIT SO WHAT BILLY'S
GONNA HAVE US DO HERE IS COME UP HERE AND STAKE OFF.
WE'RE GONNA EASE UP ON THIS BAR WHERE WE'REJUST IN CASTING RANGE RUN THE TALON DOWNAND
WE'LL WATCH THESE FISH KINDA POP ON THIS BAR WHERE WE ARE AND WE'LL FEED 'EM A BAIT. SEE
WHUD HE DO YA SEE THAT ONE RIGHT THERE THERE'S ONE RIGHT DOWN THERE BELOW US.

YAH THERE IS, THIS IS THE NEW GENERATION TWO THAT WE JUST CAME UP WITH A LITTLE BIT
MORE FIBERS IN IT MAKE IT A LITTLE STRONGER.
YAH LOOKS GOOD.
YOU SAY THEIR UP HERE EATING OYSTERS BUT WE'RE THROWIN' CRABS AT 'EM I'M GLAD YOUR
BUDDY CAME UP WITH THE CRABS FOR 'EM.
YAH GOOD TO KNOW THE COMMERCIAL FISHERMAN 'CAUSE HE HOOKED US UP WITH SOME BLUE CRABS
THEY SURE DO LIKE 'EM A WHOLE ONE TOO I'LL POP THE TOP OFF OF 'EM LIKE YOU SEE ME DOIN'
AND HOOK THE WHOLE BLUE CRAB IN THE CORNER OF THE LEG WORKS BETTER THAN TRYING TO KEEP
AN OYSTER ON THE HOOK.
MY BUDDY USED TO TRIM THE LEGS OFF AND EVERYTHING MAKE IT LOOK LIKE A HOCKEY
PUCK WHERE HE COULD SWING IT OUT AND MAKE IT FLY LIKE A FRISBEE.
AND I ALWAYS MAKE SURE I WATERLOG THAT CRAB FIRST 'CAUSE YOU NEVER WANNA PITCH
TO A FISH WITH A FRESH CRAB IT'S FULL OF AIR AND IT FLOATS RIGHT OVER HIS HEAD YOU WANNA
GET THAT BAIT GOOD AND WATERLOGGED OR PUT IT ON A JIG HEAD WHICH I DON'T LIKE TO DO
I LIKE TO FEED 'EM THESE BIG CIRCLE HOOKS SO WE ALWAYS GET IT CAUGHT IN THE CORNER OF
THE MOUTH.
YAH RIGHT IN THE CORNER. HE'S GOT A RAMORA TOO.
HE GOT IT IN REVERSE TOO DIDN'T HE JUST HAD IT IN REVERSE DROPPIN' DOWN TO THAT
SEVEN SIX YA UM WHAT'S THAT TEN POUND TWENTY POUND FINS?
I THINK IT'S A.
LOOKS LIKE TWENTY.
FIFTEEN WINDTAMER.
YAH THAT'S GOOD STUFF THAT WINDTAMER IS WHAT I HAVE ON SOME OF MY REELS IT CASTS
REALLY GOOD ESPECIALLY WHEN WERE THROWIN' JIGS OUT ON DAYS LIKE THIS GET THEM WIND KNOTS.
WELP I THINK HE'S GETTING' ABOUT READY.
YOUR TURN TO GRAB ONE.
MY TURN? GLADLY. PUT MY HANDS ON THAT BIG OL' UGLY HEAD. (INAUDIBLE NOISE) SEE THAT
CIRCLE HOOK EVERY TIME RIGHT IN THE CORNER OF THE MOUTH, HELLO, OH LOOK WE GOT A TWO
FOR ONE DEAL THERE GOES THE RAMORA. WHEW! BIG OL NASTY BLACK DRUM. NOW SEE WHAT I'M
TALKIN' ABOUT ON HIS TAIL RIGHT THERE HOW IT'S KINDA MESSED UP IF YOU HAD MONOFILAMENT
LINE OR SOMETHIN' LIKE THAT WOULD DEFINITELY TRIM IT UP.
CLIP YOU OFF WOULDN'T IT.
THAT IS ONE BIG FISH. LET ME SHOW YOU SOME CHARACTERISTICS OF THIS FISH THAT
IS PRETTY WILD SEE THESE BARBELS RIGHT DOWN HERE THEY ACTUALLY USE THESE TO GO AROUND
AND FEEL ON THE BOTTOM AND THEY'LL FEEL CRABS AND OYSTERS AND WHAT NOT AND THEY KINDA USE
THOSE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT KIND OF FOOD THEY'RE EATIN' THESE ARE SOME PRETTY COOL FEATURES
OF THIS FISH AND THEIR CLOSEST COUSIN IS THE REDFISH, AND THAT IS A MONSTER, AND FROM WHAT
I WAS READIN' ABOUT THEM I LIKE TO PUNCH UP ON THE INTERNET NOW AND THEN WHEN IM SITTIN'
THERE KINDA BORED BUT THEY ARE A THERE'S NOT REALLY ANYTHING SUPER SUPER KIN TO 'EM THEIR
CLOSEST COUSIN IS THE A REDFISH.
YEP DRUM FAMILY.
YEP. THAT IS A NEAT FISH. UHP THERE'S A KICK, THERE HE GOES.
BACK HE GOES.
TO THE WILD GREEN YONDER DOWN THERE.
YOU CAN BET ON THAT.
MR. HENDERSON YOU THINK WE CAN DO ANOTHER ONE?
YAH WE CAN GO GET BACK ON THESE BARS AND IM SURE WE CAN GET ANOTHER ONE TO EAT.
WELL YA'ALL STAY TUNED WE'RE GONNA BE RIGHT BACK WITH HOPEFULLY ONE OF THEM ABSOLUTE
MONSTERS BUT I TELL YOU WHAT EVEN IF WE DON'T CATCH ONE OF THOSE SEVENTY POUNDERS THOSE
TWO FISH RIGHT THERE
THOSE WERE GOOD FISH.
THAT WAS A GOOD FISH YA'ALL STAY TUNED WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

RIG IT RIGHT BY WRIGHT AND MCGILL
ON TODAY'S RIG IT RIGHT SEGMENT I'M GONNA SHOW YOU WHAT CAPTAIN BILLY HAD ME THROWIN'
OUT THERE TODAY I STARTED OFF WITH THE EIGHT FOOTER JUST BECAUSE A COUPLE OF DAYS PRIOR
WHEN BILLY CALLED ME UP HE SAID BLAIR I'M ON SOME SIXTY POUND BLACK DRUM AND YA GOTTA
GET OVER HERE AND DO 'EM SO STARTED OFF WITH THE EIGHT FOOTER NEW GENERATION TWO FLATS
BLUE AND I HAD THE EIGHT FOOTER RIGGED UP WITH THE BLUE X S IT'S AN EIGHT STAND BRAID
HAD ALL THOSE OYSTER BARS AROUND HAD IT RIGGED UP WITH SEAGUAR FLOUROCARBON FORTY POUND TEST
'CAUSE THOSE OYSTERS REACH OUT AND TOUCH IT AND A LOT A TIMES IF YOUR NOT USING THE X
S OR A GOOD FORTY POUND SEAGUAR FLOROCARBON IT'S GOING TO CUT IT RIGHT AWAY SO THAT'S
WHY I WAS USING THE EIGHT FOOTER WITH YA KNOW PRETTY HEAVY LINE ON THERE AND I HAD IT RIGGED
WITH A SMALL TROKAR CIRCLE HOOK AND A THE REASON FOR A SMALL TROKAR CIRCLE HOOK IS BECAUSE
THE BLACK DRUM THEY HAVE THAT MOUTH THAT IS REALLY RUBBERY AND YOU CAN HOOK 'EM REAL GOOD
AND AS SOON AS THE HOOK STARTS PENETRATING IT GOES ALL THE WAY THROUGH A LATER ON IN
THE DAY BILLY HAD ME THROWING THE SEVEN SIX JUST BECAUSE YA KNOW WE DIDN'T SEE ANY OF
THOSE SIXTY POUNDERS OUT THERE AND IT'S A LOT MORE FUN ON A SMALLER ROD CATCHIN' THOSE
GREAT BIG FISH HAD IT RIGGED WITH FIFTEEN POUND TEST WINDTAMER BECAUSE THE WIND WAS
ABSOLUTELY HOWLING TOWARDS THE END OF THE DAY YA EVER GET A CHANCE TO HEAD OVER TO HOMASASSA
AND FISH WITH CAPTAIN BILLY I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT ONE HECK OF A GUIDE THAT ABOUT DOES IT
FOR THE RIG IT RIGHT REMEMBER ONE THING EVERY SEASON STARTS RIGHT HERE AT DICK'S.
RIG IT RIGHT BY WRIGHT AND MCGILL
OH FISHY FISHIES. YA BEAT. IT'S GOING TO HAVE TO BE A REALLY BIG ONE FOR US TO SEE
IT AS DEEP AS IT'S STARTING TO GET.
IS THAT ONE? YAH THAT'S ONE.
YAH RIGHT THERE RIGHT THERE.
IT'S RIGHT ON TOP OF HIM.
OPE TWO OF 'EM TWO OF 'EM TWO OF 'EM. BRING IT RIGHT OVER TOP OF HIM THAT ONE OPE
YOU GONNA TAKE OR OH YES SIR.
THERE WE GO NUMBER THREE BABY.
FOUR.
FOUR. HE'S BULLDOGGIN' IT.
HE'S SUBMARININ' IT DOWN THERE. DIVE DIVE DIVE.
THERE HE IS OH THAT'S A NICE ONE GOD THAT LOOKS LIKE A REDFISH.
YA A BIG OL RED DUDN'T IT WELL THESE GUYS HERE THERE JUST IN OFF THE OCEAN SO THEY'RE
A LITTLE BRIGHTER RED THEN ONCE THEY STAY IN HERE FOR AWHILE THEN THEY'LL TURN BLACK
GET IN THIS MUDD AND STUFF FOR THE SUMMER BUT WHEN THEY FIRST COME IN FROM DEEP THEY
LOOK LIKE A SCHOOL OF REDFISH OUT THERE DAISY CHAININ'ON THE FLATS IN THE WINTER BLACKISH
RED DRUM.
YAH HE DOES HAVE A LOT OF RED COLOR TO HIM I WONDER IF HES EATING MORE CRAB THAN
ANYTHING ELSE.
YAH I DON'T KNOW. KIDS LOVE CATCHIN' THESE THINGS
OH THEY'RE A BALL.
A CIRCLE HOOK IN THEIR MOUTH AND YA CAN'T REALLY LOOSE HIM YA KNOW.
YOU TAKE A LOT OF KIDS OUT DON'T YOU?
OH I TAKE A LOT OF 'EM OUT AND ALL THEY DO IS LEAN BACK AND THAT CIRCLE HOOK
AND ONCE THEY GOT HIM ON THEY JUST PULL AND PULL AND PULL HOOK 'EM UP WITH A BIG ROD THAT
THEY CANT HURT NOTHIN' .
EXCEPT THEMSELVES.
THAT'S RIGHT YA.HERE HE COMES UP AGAIN.
OH WE GOT A LITTLE HEAD SHAKE THOUGHT HE WAS GONNA JUMP. WELL I BELIEVE IT'S WHAT
FOURTEEN TO TWENTY FOUR.
THAT THE SLOT ON IT YES THAT'S THE SLOT ON THEM.
AND YOU'RE ALOWED TO KEEP FIVE.
ALLOWED TO KEEP FIVE OF 'EM.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOUR ALLOWED TO KEEP ONE OVER THE SLOT OR NOT.
YA KNOW THAT'S HOW IT'S ALWAYS BEEN I HAVEN'T CHECKED IT THIS YEAR BUT THE WAY
THEY CHANGE STUFF DEFINITELY CHECK YOUR REGS BEFORE YOU GO MESSING AROUND BECAUSE FWC IS
ALWAYS MONKEYING WITH THAT STUFF.
THEY KNOW THE LIMITS BETTER THAN YOU DO. AND ONE THING ONCE YOU'RE FIGHTING THESE
FISH AND THEY'RE AROUND THE BOAT SITTIN' UP NEXT TO YA DON'T TRY TO HORSE 'EM BECAUSE
ALL THEY HAVE TO DO IS ONE SWIPE WITH THAT BIG TAIL AND YOU THINK THEY'RE ALL TIRED OUT
AND THEY'RE NOT ITS LIKE THEY COME BACK TO LIFE RIGHT BY THE BOAT USUALLY ITS WHEN THEY
SEE BILLY THEY SAY I GOTTA GET AWAY FROM THAT DUDE.
THEY KNOW WHAT IM GONNA DO TO 'EM.
