TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — As part of 8 On Your Side’s Amanda Holly’s Reel Talk series, a well-known fishermen invited her to be a guest angler on his TV series “World of Saltwater Fishing“.
Amanda fished with George Poveromo in the Florida Keys on a fishing trip of a lifetime. While in the Keys, they limited out on yellowtail snapper but also caught several king fish and Spanish mackerel.
In the midst of the bringing snapper after snapper into the boat, Amanda and George decided to switch it up and drop a deeper rod down to the bottom with a live bait. Although somewhat unusual, a nice-sized king fish took the bait and gave Amanda a fun fight.
A few Spanish mackerel were also hanging around the surface. Amanda hooked up a live bait to a wire leader and slowly reeled it back in. A mackerel was hungry and took the bait right next to the boat.
This was the trip of a lifetime for Amanda who has has watched George’s World of Saltwater Fishing television show for years.
It was a blast for her to put together a series of Reel Talks on her trip but the fun will continue when her episode airs March 24 at 8 a.m.
