Fish That Bite Back & Regs That Should Change | The Captain's Report Ep. 2

Welcome back to The Captain's Report 🎣, the show featuring real charter fishing captains out of Murrells Inlet & Myrtle Beach, SC. This episode, the crew swaps their gnarliest "fish that bite back" stories, wahoo slicing fingers to the bone, king mackerel scars, a shark bite that had to be self-bandaged, and a boat's worth of nicknames earned the hard way, before diving into a no-holds-barred roundtable on the fishing regulations they think the state and feds need to fix, from gag grouper limits to flounder slot rules to snowy grouper bag counts. If you love fishing charters, boat life, and the unfiltered side of the charter fishing industry, you're in the right place. New episodes are filmed live from the MIFC Shack on the Marsh Walk in Murrells Inlet, real captains, real stories, nothing scripted. 🎬 WHAT'S IN THIS EPISODE Wahoo, king mackerel, shark, and trigger fish "bite back" stories from the water How the crew handles bites, injuries, and keeping the boat safe A captains' roundtable on the fishing regulations they'd change Debate on gag grouper, red snapper, flounder, snowy grouper, and redfish rules Why the crew thinks the data behind these regulations is flawed — and what they'd do instead ⏱ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 – Fish That Bite Back: Cold Open 0:28 – Welcome to The Captain's Report 0:48 – Meet the Crew in the Hot Seats 1:09 – Justin's Wahoo Bite, 70 Miles Offshore 6:32 – Captain Jack's King Mackerel Wrist Injury 9:06 – Near Misses: Kings, Wahoo & Close Calls 10:41 – The Shark Bite Nobody Would Bandage 13:29 – How "Trigger" Got His Nickname 26:05 – Regs That Should Change: Gag Grouper & Red Snapper 36:52 – Commercial vs. Recreational Regulation Debate 38:00 – The Snowy Grouper One-Per-Boat Problem 41:57 – Flounder Slot Limits & the Female Flounder Issue 46:43 – A Redfish Tagging System?
