Justin has dreamed of catching a baby goliath grouper. These little guys are bass on steroids! The day started off with Josh and Justin catching mullet for live bait. We then headed further inshore to a bridge where the baby goliath groupers dwell. After a few minutes of fishing, Justin hooked up and the fish quickly broken the line. Over a dozen fish were lost between Josh and Justin. Josh had an epic battle but was defeated. Finally, Justin broke the ice and caught a baby goliath grouper (estimated weight was between 6-8lbs). After Justin released his grouper, Josh hooked up and landed a big snook (estimated weight was between 17-20lbs). It shocked us both! Overall, what an incredible experience being humbled by these little giants! <\/p>\n<p>FWC Fish Handling Guidelines \u2192 <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/fwc-fish-handling\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/fwc-fish-handling<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Filmed in Florida!<\/p>\n<p>We make new videos every month!<\/p>\n<p>\u25ba Click Here to Subscribe \u2192 <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/blacktiph-subscribe\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/blacktiph-subscribe<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u25ac\u25ac\u25ac\u25ac\u25ac\u25ac\u25ac Promo Codes &#8211; Save Money! \u25ac\u25ac\u25ac\u25ac\u25ac\u25ac\u25ac<\/p>\n<p>Bullbuster Fishing Lines \u2192 <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/bullbuster-blacktiph\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/bullbuster-blacktiph<\/a><br \/>\n\u2022 Save 10% with promo code \u00bb\u00bb &#8220;blacktiph&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Icey-Tek Coolers \u2192 <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/icey-tek-blacktiph\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/icey-tek-blacktiph<\/a><br \/>\n\u2022 FREE shipping with promo code \u00bb\u00bb &#8220;blacktiph&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Balloon Fisher King \u2192 <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/balloonfisher-blacktiph\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/balloonfisher-blacktiph<\/a><br \/>\n\u2022 Save 15% on any Pro Pack with promo code \u00bb\u00bb &#8220;blacktiph&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u25ac\u25ac\u25ac\u25ac\u25ac\u25ac\u25ac Website &#038; Social Media \u25ac\u25ac\u25ac\u25ac\u25ac\u25ac\u25ac<\/p>\n<p>Website \u2192 <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/blacktiphfishing.com\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/blacktiphfishing.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Facebook  \u2192 <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/blacktiph\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/blacktiph<\/a><br \/>\nInstagram  \u2192 <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/blacktiph\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/instagram.com\/blacktiph<\/a><br \/>\nTwitter       \u2192 <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/blacktiph\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/blacktiph<\/a><br \/>\nGoogle+    \u2192 <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/+BlacktipH\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/plus.google.com\/+BlacktipH<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u25ac\u25ac\u25ac\u25ac\u25ac\u25ac\u25ac Brands We Use \u25ac\u25ac\u25ac\u25ac\u25ac\u25ac\u25ac<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Bullbuster Brand Direct<br \/>\n\u2022 Balloon Fisher King<br \/>\n\u2022 Icey-Tek Coolers<br \/>\n\u2022 Sunsect Insect Repellent + Sunscreen<\/p>\n<p>\u25ac\u25ac\u25ac\u25ac\u25ac\u25ac\u25ac Related Videos \u25ac\u25ac\u25ac\u25ac\u25ac\u25ac\u25ac<\/p>\n<p>Offshore Cobia Fishing with Epic Shark Action:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/Offshore-Cobia-Fishing\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/Offshore-Cobia-Fishing<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Bass Fisherman Experiences the Ultimate:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/bass-fisherman-experience\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/bass-fisherman-experience<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Josh got together with Justin from LakeForkGuy to go combat fishing for baby goliath groupers.
