1
00:00:01,367 --> 00:00:03,567
[Ethan] First trip we go on,
I promise you would have given
2
00:00:03,734 --> 00:00:05,100
me the rod.
-[Capt. Justin] Oh, yeah.
3
00:00:05,100 --> 00:00:06,800
[Ethan] If you had hooked one,
you gave it to me.
4
00:00:06,967 --> 00:00:09,166
This time, like,
Hey, man, you're on your own.
5
00:00:09,166 --> 00:00:10,500
"There's the fish.
6
00:00:10,667 --> 00:00:12,467
Present the bait the way
you're supposed to.
7
00:00:12,633 --> 00:00:14,767
Do what I taught you to do.
And execute it," right?
8
00:00:14,767 --> 00:00:16,266
That's where we're at
on this trip.
9
00:00:16,266 --> 00:00:18,767
Oh, yeah.
It's a fair battle, all right?
10
00:00:18,934 --> 00:00:21,767
It is competitive.
And I'm out here to win.
11
00:00:21,767 --> 00:00:23,200
[Ethan] This is
a competition, OK?
12
00:00:23,367 --> 00:00:24,767
You beat me last time
tarpon fishing.
13
00:00:24,934 --> 00:00:25,934
Today's my day.
14
00:00:27,567 --> 00:00:30,767
Ethan is going one mission.
Bait in water.
15
00:00:30,767 --> 00:00:33,100
Catch, three fish.
16
00:00:33,266 --> 00:00:34,367
I'll tell you what,
you're talking about being on
17
00:00:34,533 --> 00:00:35,767
a lucky streak.
-Hey!
18
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:38,900
Yeah, look at that!
19
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:43,300
-Oh!
-There it is.
20
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:47,400
Yeah, that's a good one.
21
00:00:48,300 --> 00:00:53,367
[narrator]
"Chasin' The Sun" is brought
to you by Florida Watersports.
22
00:00:53,533 --> 00:00:57,567
Get all you need for the water
at FWS.fish.
23
00:00:57,567 --> 00:01:00,867
Humminbird.
Simply. Clearly. Better.
24
00:01:02,700 --> 00:01:03,867
Minn Kota.
25
00:01:05,667 --> 00:01:08,700
And by Pirates Cove Marina.
26
00:01:08,867 --> 00:01:11,567
You enjoy the Gulf,
we'll take care of the rest.
27
00:01:13,567 --> 00:01:23,266
[soft music]
28
00:01:23,433 --> 00:01:24,400
[Capt. Justin] Appreciate it.
29
00:01:28,066 --> 00:01:32,100
It's summertime in Panama City
Beach, and what that means
30
00:01:32,266 --> 00:01:34,166
to me is it's tarpon time.
31
00:01:34,333 --> 00:01:38,900
Well, we got you on them last
season, and you weren't a pro
32
00:01:39,066 --> 00:01:42,567
yet, but you got pro status
now, so it's time to get some
33
00:01:42,734 --> 00:01:43,700
redemption, put something
on film,
34
00:01:43,700 --> 00:01:48,266
and try to rewrite this
story a little bit.
35
00:01:48,266 --> 00:01:49,467
There you go.
I like that.
36
00:01:49,467 --> 00:01:51,900
[Ethan] The water's absolutely
gorgeous, and I think
37
00:01:52,066 --> 00:01:54,266
it's gonna be a tremendous day.
-[Justin]
It's getting me excited.
38
00:01:54,433 --> 00:01:55,500
Let's get it done,
doesn't get any better.
39
00:01:55,667 --> 00:01:56,667
Let's quit talking about it.
40
00:01:56,667 --> 00:01:58,834
Let's go do it.
41
00:02:01,367 --> 00:02:04,667
You know, there's always those
three factors I'm looking for
42
00:02:04,834 --> 00:02:05,900
when I'm sight fishing.
43
00:02:05,900 --> 00:02:09,266
It's water clarity,
sunshine, and the light winds.
44
00:02:09,433 --> 00:02:11,667
Today's one of those days where
we have all three of them.
45
00:02:11,667 --> 00:02:14,367
When we're in 12 feet of
water, I can see every grain of
46
00:02:14,533 --> 00:02:17,567
sand on the bottom.
That's exactly what we want.
47
00:02:17,734 --> 00:02:19,800
I know visibility is gonna
be good, but when we first pull
48
00:02:19,967 --> 00:02:22,100
out of the pass right here,
and I can look down and see
49
00:02:22,266 --> 00:02:25,300
those spotted eagle rays just
as clear as day, when you see
50
00:02:25,467 --> 00:02:28,567
that first animal in the water,
that's when you first realize
51
00:02:28,734 --> 00:02:29,867
how good the clarity is.
52
00:02:31,567 --> 00:02:33,467
And they just swim up
and down this beach.
53
00:02:33,467 --> 00:02:37,800
I think they're like plankton
feeders, and a lot of times
54
00:02:37,967 --> 00:02:41,000
you'll see them on current
edges, like right here at
55
00:02:41,166 --> 00:02:43,700
the pass when you have the bay
water flowing out,
56
00:02:43,867 --> 00:02:46,100
and then you have this clean
Gulf water where they meet.
57
00:02:46,266 --> 00:02:50,000
Some reason that creates
that perfect scenario
58
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,100
for them to feed, I guess.
59
00:02:52,100 --> 00:02:55,000
We live in paradise here
in Panama City Beach,
60
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:56,166
and every day
on the water you get
61
00:02:56,166 --> 00:02:57,400
to see something different.
62
00:02:58,467 --> 00:03:02,567
We made it all the way to
Regency Towers and Watercress,
63
00:03:02,734 --> 00:03:07,500
and not even a half mile
or a little, maybe a mile.
64
00:03:07,667 --> 00:03:08,567
[Capt. Justin]
Probably a hundred fish.
65
00:03:08,734 --> 00:03:09,967
Oh, look, that boat's
got one.
66
00:03:10,133 --> 00:03:11,867
[Ethan] Oh, yeah, they got him
at the boat.
67
00:03:11,867 --> 00:03:14,367
[Capt. Justin] All right,
let's join the party.
68
00:03:14,367 --> 00:03:15,967
These tarpon are in a different
place every day.
69
00:03:16,133 --> 00:03:17,567
You don't know where a school's
going to be at.
70
00:03:17,734 --> 00:03:20,100
It's a feeling of relief
because you go, all right,
71
00:03:20,266 --> 00:03:22,467
we're in the game.
We have the right bait.
72
00:03:22,633 --> 00:03:24,266
Now we have a big school
of tarpon.
73
00:03:24,266 --> 00:03:25,700
I got something to work
with here.
74
00:03:26,867 --> 00:03:28,800
Your hospitality,
the first tarpon trip I was
75
00:03:28,967 --> 00:03:30,767
with you, was first class.
76
00:03:30,767 --> 00:03:33,000
Hey, and I'm not hooking
your bait on for you.
77
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,567
You get you get to pick
your own bait.
78
00:03:35,567 --> 00:03:38,266
You you can select one of those
or go get you a fresh one.
79
00:03:38,266 --> 00:03:40,867
Our true friendship came out
on this trip was like,
80
00:03:41,033 --> 00:03:42,000
"Hey buddy, you're on your own.
81
00:03:42,166 --> 00:03:43,100
"I taught you what to do
last time.
82
00:03:43,100 --> 00:03:45,367
If you don't remember,
that's your fault."
83
00:03:45,367 --> 00:03:47,567
Come on, get your get
your bait in there.
84
00:03:47,567 --> 00:03:49,100
Don't wait for me.
85
00:03:49,266 --> 00:03:50,266
I'm not gonna wait for you.
86
00:03:51,266 --> 00:03:53,567
Hey, when you're fishing
with friends,
87
00:03:53,734 --> 00:03:54,867
it's a fair battle.
88
00:03:54,867 --> 00:03:57,300
All right, it is competitive,
and I'm out here to win.
89
00:03:57,467 --> 00:03:59,300
Now, I don't feel like
it's a fair fight if you don't
90
00:03:59,467 --> 00:04:03,467
know the rules, and so that's
why the first trip, I at least
91
00:04:03,633 --> 00:04:05,000
teach you the rules
to this game.
92
00:04:05,166 --> 00:04:06,767
That's how you know I really
love you, when I start giving
93
00:04:06,934 --> 00:04:08,567
you hard time.
-That's good, man.
94
00:04:08,734 --> 00:04:10,967
School seems pretty big.
I mean, running from here,
95
00:04:12,100 --> 00:04:13,233
kind of 30, 40 yards back.
96
00:04:13,233 --> 00:04:17,100
Yeah, I just really see a big
nod of them right here.
97
00:04:18,100 --> 00:04:20,367
[Ethan]
The times that I fish with
you, I've learned that every
98
00:04:20,367 --> 00:04:23,166
group has its own mentality,
their own MO.
99
00:04:23,166 --> 00:04:24,900
I fought a tarpon last year.
100
00:04:25,066 --> 00:04:27,667
I broke him off, caught hooked
up with another one.
101
00:04:27,834 --> 00:04:30,367
He chafed through the leader,
fought him for a while.
102
00:04:30,367 --> 00:04:31,700
It's all in
the details, right?
103
00:04:31,867 --> 00:04:35,467
And tarpon fishing,
it's a very finicky thing.
104
00:04:35,633 --> 00:04:38,767
[Capt. Justin]
They feel our presence.
Now, they won't leave.
105
00:04:38,767 --> 00:04:40,300
They're not gonna turn
around and go back where
106
00:04:40,467 --> 00:04:42,567
they came from because
you spooked them.
107
00:04:42,734 --> 00:04:44,367
But what they will do,
they'll start riding a little
108
00:04:44,367 --> 00:04:45,367
lower in the water.
109
00:04:45,533 --> 00:04:47,867
They'll give you those
indicators that they
110
00:04:48,033 --> 00:04:49,266
don't like what you're doing.
111
00:04:50,567 --> 00:04:53,266
I mean, I'm on the edge here,
and they go all the way to
112
00:04:53,266 --> 00:04:55,166
there, and you're dead
centered on them.
113
00:04:56,166 --> 00:04:57,367
Like somebody's got to bite.
114
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:02,300
What is Ethan working with?
115
00:05:02,467 --> 00:05:03,900
I don't know, man,
I don't feel anything.
116
00:05:04,066 --> 00:05:05,667
You know, it's kind
of a weird feeling.
117
00:05:05,834 --> 00:05:06,767
Big fish.
118
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,100
Come on.
119
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:11,867
Oh no!
I can't slow him down.
120
00:05:24,367 --> 00:05:27,166
[Ethan] These baits are just
swimming right back at us.
121
00:05:27,333 --> 00:05:29,400
-And where are the fish?
-They're just right there.
122
00:05:29,567 --> 00:05:31,000
It's right here, right?
123
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,000
You can go across me too.
124
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,667
You might have to go
on the right side.
125
00:05:34,834 --> 00:05:36,467
[Ethan] What's interesting about
this trip that I've got to bring
126
00:05:36,633 --> 00:05:39,166
forward to everybody in
the audience is the first trip
127
00:05:39,166 --> 00:05:41,800
we go on, I promise you would
have given me the rod.
128
00:05:41,967 --> 00:05:42,867
Oh, yeah, yeah.
129
00:05:42,867 --> 00:05:44,400
If you had hooked one,
you gave it to me.
130
00:05:44,567 --> 00:05:46,800
This time like, hey man,
you're on your own.
131
00:05:46,967 --> 00:05:48,100
There's the fish.
132
00:05:48,266 --> 00:05:50,100
Present the bait the way
you're supposed to.
133
00:05:50,100 --> 00:05:52,266
Do what I taught you
to do and execute.
134
00:05:52,433 --> 00:05:54,467
That's where we're at
on this trip.
135
00:05:54,467 --> 00:05:56,266
It almost looks like they're
parting and going around
136
00:05:56,266 --> 00:05:57,200
their nest.
137
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:58,467
[Ethan] Yeah, literally
what just happened?
138
00:06:00,667 --> 00:06:02,000
Yeah, there's your answer
right there.
139
00:06:02,166 --> 00:06:03,066
Yeah, I know.
140
00:06:03,066 --> 00:06:05,567
Boy, that bird's just
staring them down.
141
00:06:05,734 --> 00:06:07,266
[Capt. Justin] When I saw
the bird start working,
142
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,367
it was kind of an odd scene,
but I realized what was
143
00:06:10,533 --> 00:06:13,967
happening is, there's literally
a giant school of cigar minnows
144
00:06:14,133 --> 00:06:16,300
swimming with the school
of tarpon.
145
00:06:16,467 --> 00:06:17,867
I think that's why we were
having a hard time getting
146
00:06:18,033 --> 00:06:19,266
a bite, because half the time
we were throwing,
147
00:06:19,266 --> 00:06:21,800
we were actually casting
our cigar minnow into another
148
00:06:21,967 --> 00:06:24,266
school of cigar minnows,
not the tarpon themselves.
149
00:06:24,266 --> 00:06:25,567
So I was like, "You know what?"
150
00:06:25,734 --> 00:06:26,834
We'll find another group.
151
00:06:26,834 --> 00:06:29,367
So let's just keep moving
because in my mind, I want
152
00:06:29,533 --> 00:06:32,066
to find that perfect
big group that's happy.
153
00:06:32,233 --> 00:06:33,166
They're floating.
154
00:06:34,567 --> 00:06:35,667
Not ideal.
155
00:06:37,300 --> 00:06:39,800
Run way down the beach.
156
00:06:39,967 --> 00:06:42,467
-Found another school of fish.
-Another school of fish.
157
00:06:42,467 --> 00:06:43,600
Two boats on
it.
158
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,467
I just knew it was
too good to be true.
159
00:06:47,633 --> 00:06:50,667
I won't blame you for being on
the boat, but you only have two
160
00:06:50,834 --> 00:06:51,967
options at that point.
161
00:06:51,967 --> 00:06:54,800
You either join the party
and go fish a group of fish
162
00:06:54,967 --> 00:06:57,767
with these other boats,
or you go do something else.
163
00:06:59,066 --> 00:07:02,000
I have a feeling we're gonna
go catch a red snapper.
164
00:07:02,166 --> 00:07:03,300
-They're in season.
-Yeah.
165
00:07:08,266 --> 00:07:10,367
Because we've run way down
the beach looking for these
166
00:07:10,367 --> 00:07:14,367
fish, we've gotten outside
of my snapper fishing
167
00:07:14,533 --> 00:07:15,900
expertise region.
168
00:07:16,066 --> 00:07:18,400
So we are literally, I'm gonna
look at this Coastmaster
169
00:07:18,567 --> 00:07:20,667
chart that I have
on my Apex unit.
170
00:07:20,667 --> 00:07:22,700
There's a bunch of wrecks
marked on here.
171
00:07:22,867 --> 00:07:24,467
I hope they're there.
172
00:07:24,633 --> 00:07:26,367
And I have no idea
what's on them.
173
00:07:26,533 --> 00:07:28,467
There's not many times that I
get on the water with you that
174
00:07:28,467 --> 00:07:30,367
we're not gonna fish something
you hadn't fished before.
175
00:07:30,367 --> 00:07:33,000
So this is a great opportunity
for me and you to go see
176
00:07:33,166 --> 00:07:36,266
something new, do something
new, and see what it produces.
177
00:07:42,867 --> 00:07:44,567
Something.
178
00:07:44,567 --> 00:07:45,667
A fish!
179
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,467
-What is Ethan working with?
-I don't know, man.
180
00:07:49,467 --> 00:07:51,467
I don't feel anything.
It's kind of weird to me.
181
00:07:51,633 --> 00:07:52,600
It's got to be a scamp.
182
00:07:53,867 --> 00:07:55,000
Something wrong with a scamp.
183
00:07:56,266 --> 00:07:57,367
Pretty good call there.
184
00:07:59,066 --> 00:08:01,166
-Pretty good call.
-I'll take it.
185
00:08:01,166 --> 00:08:02,900
First bait at my new spot.
186
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,166
I don't know
if he'll measure, though.
187
00:08:06,166 --> 00:08:09,767
So I'm not sure how we went
from trophy fishing to catching
188
00:08:09,767 --> 00:08:11,100
little eating fish.
189
00:08:11,100 --> 00:08:13,900
But if you're gonna catch, you
know, the first fish of the day
190
00:08:14,066 --> 00:08:15,000
and it's gonna be
really small,
191
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,266
it might as well be
something really good.
192
00:08:16,266 --> 00:08:18,367
To me, this is the best
eating fish
193
00:08:20,166 --> 00:08:21,500
in the Gulf of Mexico.
194
00:08:21,667 --> 00:08:24,867
So we're gonna get him back
in the water really quick so
195
00:08:25,033 --> 00:08:28,000
he can head back down
and measure next time.
196
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,266
That's right.
197
00:08:29,266 --> 00:08:32,100
So competitive analysis here.
198
00:08:32,100 --> 00:08:34,367
Ethan, one.
Big zero over here.
199
00:08:34,533 --> 00:08:35,500
Big zero over here.
200
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:37,567
Cooler full of scams, Ethan.
201
00:08:37,734 --> 00:08:39,400
I'm not gonna be that upset
about the tarpon deal.
202
00:08:40,367 --> 00:08:43,000
I don't think I will be
either, except for you also
203
00:08:43,166 --> 00:08:46,100
don't have to go back and say,
"Hey, I still haven't caught
204
00:08:46,266 --> 00:08:49,567
a tarpon on TV."
-But it makes it a little
205
00:08:49,567 --> 00:08:51,600
better that at least
you've caught them.
206
00:08:51,767 --> 00:08:52,967
It does make it a little
bit better.
207
00:08:54,867 --> 00:08:56,700
In my competitive nature,
though you caught
208
00:08:56,867 --> 00:08:59,367
a scamp, I'm like,
"All right, I get hooked up."
209
00:08:59,533 --> 00:09:01,100
It might be
the same thing, Ethan.
210
00:09:01,967 --> 00:09:04,100
He ain't big, but we might
have us a little load
211
00:09:04,266 --> 00:09:06,300
of scamps right here.
212
00:09:06,467 --> 00:09:09,367
It's not much of a fight,
so I immediately go,
213
00:09:09,533 --> 00:09:10,767
"Probably another scamp."
214
00:09:10,934 --> 00:09:12,500
Could it be possible?
215
00:09:12,667 --> 00:09:14,600
So I'm kind of excited,
maybe even getting a little
216
00:09:14,767 --> 00:09:16,367
arrogant as it's coming
up to the surface.
217
00:09:17,567 --> 00:09:18,900
If it is, I'm gonna pull
that measuring tape out
218
00:09:19,066 --> 00:09:20,567
and we're gonna start
pinching these tails.
219
00:09:20,734 --> 00:09:21,800
While you're bringing this up.
220
00:09:22,767 --> 00:09:24,567
-What, you got a snapper?
-Yeah.
221
00:09:24,567 --> 00:09:28,367
I'm reeling in a beautiful,
Red snapper at the same time.
222
00:09:28,533 --> 00:09:29,633
Nice.
223
00:09:31,100 --> 00:09:33,767
What have we got here?
Oh, it's a white snapper.
224
00:09:33,934 --> 00:09:35,867
It's funny, we don't see
a whole lot of it.
225
00:09:35,867 --> 00:09:37,667
It's actually a red porgy.
226
00:09:37,667 --> 00:09:39,800
You're still really
not on the scoreboard.
227
00:09:39,967 --> 00:09:41,367
There's a lot of people
that are going hungry
228
00:09:41,533 --> 00:09:42,467
at your house right now.
229
00:09:42,467 --> 00:09:44,500
I mean, I get a half
a point for the porgy.
230
00:09:44,667 --> 00:09:47,166
-Half a point for the porgy?
-Can you fillet a porgy?
231
00:09:47,166 --> 00:09:48,166
Beautiful fish, too.
232
00:09:48,166 --> 00:09:51,000
Got some really cool
iridescent colors on them.
233
00:09:51,166 --> 00:09:53,266
The meat is just like,
it's almost just clear.
234
00:09:53,433 --> 00:09:54,467
It's so white.
235
00:09:54,467 --> 00:09:55,467
They make good tacos.
236
00:09:55,467 --> 00:09:56,700
You just need two
or three per taco.
237
00:09:56,867 --> 00:09:57,800
OK, gotcha.
238
00:09:57,967 --> 00:09:59,133
But you've caught
how many fishes?
239
00:09:59,133 --> 00:10:01,100
All right, in all reality,
Ethan's out doing early lures.
240
00:10:01,266 --> 00:10:03,700
But, there's always a but.
241
00:10:03,867 --> 00:10:05,967
Do we keep the first
four legal ones and go?
242
00:10:07,100 --> 00:10:08,567
Or do we just sit out here
and play with them?
243
00:10:08,734 --> 00:10:11,166
Oh, yours came off?
Are you kidding me?
244
00:10:11,333 --> 00:10:13,667
I'm not gonna lie, but maybe
I felt a little good
245
00:10:13,667 --> 00:10:15,100
when I saw that rod go...
246
00:10:15,266 --> 00:10:16,700
I sure hope y'all saw that.
247
00:10:16,867 --> 00:10:22,567
Ethan had a nice snapper
on his rod and it came off.
248
00:10:22,567 --> 00:10:26,367
And just so happens
the knot came undone.
249
00:10:26,367 --> 00:10:28,600
And it also just so happens
that Ethan did just retie
250
00:10:28,767 --> 00:10:30,867
it himself.
That was not my doing.
251
00:10:30,867 --> 00:10:32,166
[Ethan] I want to give
you an opportunity
252
00:10:32,333 --> 00:10:33,467
to kind of catch up.
So what I did,
253
00:10:33,633 --> 00:10:34,867
I was like,
"Well, I gotta act like I'm
254
00:10:35,033 --> 00:10:36,166
still fishing."
-Oh!
255
00:10:36,333 --> 00:10:38,200
So let's barely
tie this hook on there.
256
00:10:38,367 --> 00:10:39,467
Let it slip.
257
00:10:39,467 --> 00:10:42,266
Give him a little leeway
so he can kind of catch up
258
00:10:42,433 --> 00:10:43,700
with your saltwater brim.
259
00:10:43,867 --> 00:10:45,700
But we're going to get there
one way or the other.
260
00:10:45,867 --> 00:10:49,000
And even if I have to do it to
help my friend's ego, I'm happy
261
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,100
to do it.
-Yeah, thanks.
262
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,166
Ha, ha, ha.
263
00:10:53,333 --> 00:10:55,367
We're hooked up over here,
but he's not...
264
00:10:55,533 --> 00:10:57,100
I think your fish could
eat this one but...
265
00:10:58,100 --> 00:11:00,100
Uh-oh.
He's got a big one.
266
00:11:00,100 --> 00:11:02,367
Hold him, hold him, hold him,
hold him.
267
00:11:11,767 --> 00:11:13,667
I might not hurt the chunk
a few here.
268
00:11:14,700 --> 00:11:17,066
Today was supposed to be about
your first tarpon.
269
00:11:17,233 --> 00:11:19,767
Our timing was off just
by a little bit.
270
00:11:19,767 --> 00:11:21,600
-Optionality, right?
-Yeah.
271
00:11:21,767 --> 00:11:24,800
Keeping our options open,
as heartbreaking as it is,
272
00:11:24,967 --> 00:11:27,567
you know as well as anybody,
you and I love to get out there
273
00:11:27,734 --> 00:11:29,100
and pull on some reef fish.
274
00:11:31,100 --> 00:11:32,166
Big fish.
275
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:34,900
Come on.
276
00:11:35,967 --> 00:11:39,200
Oh no, I can't slow him down!
Oh, come on!
277
00:11:39,367 --> 00:11:41,100
Get him up!
278
00:11:41,266 --> 00:11:43,900
[Ethan]
It's a great opportunity to
be able to do that right now.
279
00:11:44,066 --> 00:11:47,467
And it does happen to be
red snapper season.
280
00:11:47,467 --> 00:11:49,667
That's what a Panama City
Beach red snapper looks like
281
00:11:49,834 --> 00:11:51,400
right there.
-[Ethan] Son.
282
00:11:51,567 --> 00:11:52,667
[Capt. Justin] Ha, ha, ha.
283
00:11:53,867 --> 00:11:56,767
-Come on, baby!
-That's what I'm talking about!
284
00:11:58,900 --> 00:11:59,900
You hooked up?
285
00:12:00,133 --> 00:12:02,100
We were hooked up over here,
but he's not.
286
00:12:02,266 --> 00:12:04,500
I think your fish could
eat this one, but...
287
00:12:04,667 --> 00:12:07,000
If you'd have drove over to
this spot right here and looked
288
00:12:07,166 --> 00:12:09,100
at the sonar, you'd have said,
"Justin, that don't
289
00:12:09,100 --> 00:12:10,767
mark anything."
290
00:12:10,767 --> 00:12:12,700
Why would y'all stop
and fish there?
291
00:12:12,867 --> 00:12:14,400
That's why we stopped
and fished there.
292
00:12:14,567 --> 00:12:16,100
-Look at this beautiful lane!
-Oh, yeah, beautiful lane!
293
00:12:16,266 --> 00:12:17,266
Look at that.
294
00:12:18,667 --> 00:12:21,100
5,000 years ago.
295
00:12:21,266 --> 00:12:23,600
If you paddled out here
to this reef...
296
00:12:23,767 --> 00:12:26,467
If I would have looked
about like it does right now.
297
00:12:26,467 --> 00:12:28,567
It's just hard
limestone bottom.
298
00:12:28,734 --> 00:12:31,367
You have big coral heads
growing off of it.
299
00:12:31,533 --> 00:12:32,500
Tons of life!
300
00:12:37,500 --> 00:12:38,867
Look at here.
301
00:12:38,867 --> 00:12:40,567
Of course mine's bigger,
but for a lane snapper,
302
00:12:40,734 --> 00:12:43,100
y'all, that's about as big
as it gets right there.
303
00:12:43,100 --> 00:12:46,066
We're supposed to be catching
and releasing tarpon.
304
00:12:46,233 --> 00:12:47,133
You know what?
305
00:12:47,133 --> 00:12:49,100
We're gonna release these
onto a grill.
306
00:12:51,166 --> 00:12:53,100
We may have to go visit
Chef Paul again.
307
00:12:53,100 --> 00:12:54,166
That's right.
308
00:12:54,166 --> 00:12:55,600
It seems like whenever
I go fishing with Ethan,
309
00:12:55,767 --> 00:12:57,767
it turns into a food fest.
-[Ethan] That's it.
310
00:12:59,867 --> 00:13:02,066
Man, he's working on me
over there.
311
00:13:02,233 --> 00:13:04,867
What have we got here?
Could it be that quick?
312
00:13:06,300 --> 00:13:09,066
Got the two reds?
Yep, sure is.
313
00:13:09,233 --> 00:13:10,367
Pretty nice one.
314
00:13:11,266 --> 00:13:13,600
Not as big as the first one,
but he's probably 19,
315
00:13:13,767 --> 00:13:14,767
20 inches.
316
00:13:16,266 --> 00:13:19,600
You just got to get off
the same public wrecks
317
00:13:19,767 --> 00:13:21,767
that everybody's been fishing.
318
00:13:21,934 --> 00:13:24,100
And go hit some of those little
smaller pieces of bottom,
319
00:13:24,100 --> 00:13:27,367
and voila, like that.
Got my two.
320
00:13:28,266 --> 00:13:30,667
Uh oh.
Hold him, hold him, hold him.
321
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,567
I don't think he's gonna be
what you had, but I bet
322
00:13:34,734 --> 00:13:36,633
you he's gonna be close.
323
00:13:39,100 --> 00:13:40,600
All right, slide left
a little bit if you can.
324
00:13:40,767 --> 00:13:41,967
We'll try grabbing.
325
00:13:42,133 --> 00:13:46,300
Y'all, this is --
we fish 30-pound test leaders,
326
00:13:46,467 --> 00:13:48,367
and you don't wanna just grab
that dude and flip him
327
00:13:48,367 --> 00:13:49,700
in the boat.
-Oh, he's barely hooked, too.
328
00:13:49,867 --> 00:13:50,900
Come on, dude.
329
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:57,000
Y'all see what he's doing here.
330
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,266
He's doing everything
he can not
331
00:13:58,266 --> 00:13:59,266
to get that fish in the boat.
332
00:13:59,266 --> 00:14:00,767
Hey, I tried to knock this
thing off the hook,
333
00:14:00,934 --> 00:14:04,000
but you know what?
I just couldn't do it.
334
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:05,667
Man, he's...
335
00:14:05,834 --> 00:14:06,800
What y'all think about that?
336
00:14:08,467 --> 00:14:09,567
Paint the summer red.
337
00:14:10,567 --> 00:14:13,500
It's paint the summer red
snapper red.
338
00:14:13,667 --> 00:14:14,600
-I like it.
-OK.
339
00:14:14,767 --> 00:14:16,467
There we go.
Look at that box.
340
00:14:16,467 --> 00:14:17,767
-Just like that.
-That's a dude.
341
00:14:17,934 --> 00:14:18,967
All right.
Hey.
342
00:14:19,133 --> 00:14:20,367
All right.
343
00:14:20,367 --> 00:14:22,467
We do know how to kill
some snappers now.
344
00:14:23,867 --> 00:14:26,166
Ethan is going one mission.
345
00:14:26,333 --> 00:14:28,900
Bait, in water, catch,
free fish.
346
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,600
-Here, come grab this.
-Here, this is up now.
347
00:14:32,767 --> 00:14:34,300
Here, I'm gonna get this
flat line too anyways.
348
00:14:35,467 --> 00:14:37,667
I'm going, hey, make sure
everything on the boat
349
00:14:37,667 --> 00:14:38,734
is taken care of.
350
00:14:38,900 --> 00:14:41,200
I need to prep some frozen
baits that we can chunk.
351
00:14:41,367 --> 00:14:44,000
I want to have a flat line out,
which is basically a larger
352
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,800
bait that we're gonna put,
cast out with no weight on it.
353
00:14:47,967 --> 00:14:49,567
So it'll swim around
on the surface.
354
00:14:49,567 --> 00:14:51,200
You never know
what could show up.
355
00:14:51,367 --> 00:14:52,367
Dang!
356
00:14:54,300 --> 00:14:56,266
Man, he ate it out the end.
357
00:14:56,266 --> 00:14:57,367
Look at that.
358
00:14:58,967 --> 00:15:00,667
All right.
359
00:15:00,667 --> 00:15:04,000
That is a quick limit
of red snapper, y'all.
360
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,633
Plus a lane and a white.
361
00:15:08,100 --> 00:15:09,200
You want to go catch
a tarpon now?
362
00:15:09,367 --> 00:15:12,367
-Well, on our way.
-Too bad we're not qualified.
363
00:15:14,266 --> 00:15:16,567
You get a flat line out there,
you get distracted trying
364
00:15:16,567 --> 00:15:18,000
to get your bottom rod
down there.
365
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,567
Out of the corner of my eye
that you've got your back to,
366
00:15:20,567 --> 00:15:23,967
that flat line I can watch it
too, and it wasn't long after
367
00:15:24,133 --> 00:15:26,567
you put that rod
on her it was on.
368
00:15:29,667 --> 00:15:31,000
-This is a competition.
-OK.
369
00:15:31,166 --> 00:15:32,667
You beat me last time
tarpon fishing.
370
00:15:32,667 --> 00:15:33,767
Today's my day.
371
00:15:34,767 --> 00:15:36,066
I don't know, Justin.
372
00:15:37,367 --> 00:15:39,734
It's either an ice king
or a Wahoo, so...
373
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,600
-I'd be happy either way.
-That's it, man.
374
00:15:46,100 --> 00:15:48,166
Just that speed
and the conditions
375
00:15:48,166 --> 00:15:49,567
made me at least get that hope.
376
00:15:49,567 --> 00:15:51,467
I'm like, that might
be a Wahoo.
377
00:15:51,633 --> 00:15:53,166
You know what I can tell
you, it's not.
378
00:15:53,333 --> 00:15:55,166
-What's that?
-We got some color here, so.
379
00:15:55,333 --> 00:15:56,667
It's not a bonito.
380
00:15:56,834 --> 00:15:59,400
That's wild, I mean, to be
able to see color there,
381
00:15:59,567 --> 00:16:01,066
because it is a long way.
382
00:16:01,233 --> 00:16:02,367
He's probably still
50 feet down.
383
00:16:05,567 --> 00:16:07,100
Hey, Justin, come here.
Come here.
384
00:16:07,266 --> 00:16:09,100
-Come here.
-Oh, he's snagged, too.
385
00:16:09,100 --> 00:16:10,200
Here, lighten that drag up.
386
00:16:11,266 --> 00:16:12,800
-Which way, left?
-Yeah.
387
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:16,300
Just, oh, don't even
pull back.
388
00:16:16,467 --> 00:16:17,800
Let me back over to him.
Hurry.
389
00:16:19,867 --> 00:16:21,900
Chasing the Sun has been
brought to you by...
390
00:16:22,900 --> 00:16:24,066
Minn Kota.
391
00:16:25,700 --> 00:16:27,867
Florida Watersports.
392
00:16:28,033 --> 00:16:31,266
Get all you need for the water
at FWS.fish.
393
00:16:33,367 --> 00:16:36,567
Humminbird.
Simply. Clearly. Better.
394
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,867
And by Pirates Cove Marina.
395
00:16:42,033 --> 00:16:44,934
You enjoy the Gulf,
we'll take care of the rest.
396
00:16:47,367 --> 00:16:50,100
[Capt. Justin]
The coolest new attraction
has just opened up and we got
397
00:16:50,266 --> 00:16:52,800
a sneak peek at
Pirate's Voyage.
398
00:16:52,967 --> 00:16:54,166
Amazing.
399
00:16:54,166 --> 00:16:56,467
You've never seen a pirate
like me, right?
400
00:16:57,467 --> 00:17:01,266
I'd lash about five minutes
out on the open sea, wouldn't I?
401
00:17:01,433 --> 00:17:03,967
Well, anyway, we're going to
invite all of you to Panama
402
00:17:04,133 --> 00:17:07,200
City Beach and for our brand
new Pirate's Voyage
403
00:17:07,367 --> 00:17:08,533
dinner show.
404
00:17:08,533 --> 00:17:10,767
And it's gonna be opening up
for all the great folks that
405
00:17:10,767 --> 00:17:13,300
live around here
and for all the great folks
406
00:17:13,467 --> 00:17:14,867
that come here on vacation.
407
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:20,767
It is a perfect place to bring
the next pirate group.
408
00:17:20,934 --> 00:17:24,166
And everybody here in Panama
City Beach has been amazing.
409
00:17:24,166 --> 00:17:26,567
They're so great people to work
with and they've been
410
00:17:26,734 --> 00:17:27,633
so helpful.
411
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:29,467
Glad to see all of you
and thank you.
412
00:17:29,633 --> 00:17:31,900
I'm just carrying this because
it matches my boots.
413
00:17:33,266 --> 00:17:34,567
And I couldn't zip my boots,
414
00:17:34,734 --> 00:17:36,967
so I made them look like
pirate boots.
415
00:17:37,133 --> 00:17:39,000
Do I look like a pirate
to anybody at all?
416
00:17:48,100 --> 00:17:50,266
[Capt. Justin]
You know, it's funny,
Ethan, when we used to fish
417
00:17:50,266 --> 00:17:53,000
a flatline, it was 99%
for king mackerel.
418
00:17:53,166 --> 00:17:54,367
And when it got bit,
you knew it was
419
00:17:54,533 --> 00:17:55,800
a king mackerel.
420
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,400
Now it seems like when you get
a good bite on that flatline...
421
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:00,734
[Ethan] Could be anything.
422
00:18:00,734 --> 00:18:03,567
It could be a king mackerel,
and this probably is.
423
00:18:03,734 --> 00:18:05,867
But it could be
a blackfin tuna.
424
00:18:06,033 --> 00:18:07,033
It could be a Wahoo.
425
00:18:07,033 --> 00:18:09,066
So I'm thinking, all right,
we got a Kingfish.
426
00:18:09,233 --> 00:18:10,100
We catch these all the time.
427
00:18:10,266 --> 00:18:12,100
We got a really,
really nice king on.
428
00:18:12,266 --> 00:18:13,667
-Hey, Justin.
-Oh, it's a Wahoo.
429
00:18:13,667 --> 00:18:15,567
-Come here, come here.
-Oh, he's snagged, too.
430
00:18:15,734 --> 00:18:16,700
Here, lighten that drag up.
431
00:18:17,767 --> 00:18:19,367
-Which way, left?
-Yeah.
432
00:18:21,500 --> 00:18:24,000
Just don't even pull back.
Let me back over to him.
433
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:25,567
Hurry.
434
00:18:25,567 --> 00:18:28,166
When we first got that look
at this Wahoo, you can see those
435
00:18:28,333 --> 00:18:29,467
stripes just lit up on him.
436
00:18:30,567 --> 00:18:32,266
Or a Wahoo, how about that?
437
00:18:32,433 --> 00:18:33,533
Ethan's first Wahoo, baby!
438
00:18:33,533 --> 00:18:36,367
Ethan had just said he'd never
caught a Wahoo before.
439
00:18:36,367 --> 00:18:38,800
Today was supposed to be about
your first tarpon,
440
00:18:38,967 --> 00:18:41,767
but being about your first
Wahoo, that's just as good.
441
00:18:41,934 --> 00:18:42,967
That's what I'm talking about.
442
00:18:43,133 --> 00:18:44,100
I tell you what,
you're talking about being
443
00:18:44,100 --> 00:18:45,266
on a lucky streak.
444
00:18:45,433 --> 00:18:48,200
Hey, y'all look at this
hook job.
445
00:18:48,367 --> 00:18:50,467
Right here in the side.
446
00:18:50,467 --> 00:18:51,600
Wow.
447
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,266
-Just fell right out.
-Give me some of that, man.
448
00:18:55,433 --> 00:18:57,166
That's so funny.
449
00:18:57,333 --> 00:18:58,700
All right, let's let
this guy go now.
450
00:18:58,867 --> 00:18:59,800
Yeah, right.
451
00:18:59,967 --> 00:19:01,033
You know, we are
conservationists.
452
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:02,300
I'm gonna show you where
we're gonna let him
453
00:19:02,467 --> 00:19:04,367
go, Justin.
-Look at them stripes.
454
00:19:04,367 --> 00:19:06,066
I can't believe he never came
up and showed us.
455
00:19:06,233 --> 00:19:08,367
-He just stayed down deep.
-Man, unbelievable.
456
00:19:08,367 --> 00:19:09,567
Look how pretty.
457
00:19:09,567 --> 00:19:11,667
Seeing those beautiful stripes
on that fish and knowing that
458
00:19:11,667 --> 00:19:14,367
was a fish that I had never
brought to a boat before,
459
00:19:14,367 --> 00:19:15,467
and most people haven't.
460
00:19:15,467 --> 00:19:18,867
So even though it's a fairly
popular fish to target,
461
00:19:19,033 --> 00:19:21,200
it's still a fairly rare fish.
462
00:19:21,367 --> 00:19:23,166
It's not something that a lot
of people have caught.
463
00:19:23,166 --> 00:19:25,500
So it is cool to kind of check
that one off the list.
464
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,367
That's awesome, dude.
I'm pretty fired up about that.
465
00:19:29,533 --> 00:19:30,667
Are you?
Good.
466
00:19:30,667 --> 00:19:32,700
Just because it's like,
"Well, ain't he a giant?"
467
00:19:32,867 --> 00:19:34,266
-No, I know.
-But he counts.
468
00:19:34,433 --> 00:19:36,700
You know what?
He's gonna taste really good.
469
00:19:39,166 --> 00:19:43,100
So regardless of that Wahoo
being foul hooked or not,
470
00:19:43,266 --> 00:19:46,266
the snapper slam has happened
on this boat, and you know what
471
00:19:46,433 --> 00:19:48,000
the score is.
-Yeah, I'm behind.
472
00:19:53,767 --> 00:19:55,600
The Wahoo is game-changer
for me, man.
473
00:19:55,767 --> 00:19:57,266
-Yeah!
-First one ever.
474
00:19:57,266 --> 00:20:01,100
[Capt. Justin]
There's not too often somebody
that lives here, I get to put
475
00:20:01,266 --> 00:20:02,967
on a first or something.
476
00:20:03,133 --> 00:20:05,400
But just in the past week,
we didn't catch this part
477
00:20:05,567 --> 00:20:07,900
on film, but Ethan did catch
his first tarpon with me.
478
00:20:10,367 --> 00:20:13,166
[Ethan] I can check that box,
but in the future, we've got
479
00:20:13,166 --> 00:20:17,467
to catch one with this elephant
in the room called a camera.
480
00:20:17,467 --> 00:20:20,567
That's videoing what
we're doing right now.
481
00:20:20,734 --> 00:20:22,500
And get us a tarpon
to the side of the boat.
482
00:20:22,667 --> 00:20:23,667
That's a goal for me.
