Kudos for you guys! While a great number of folks your age are sitting around, watching video games and getting high, you guys are living LIFE! God bless you and yours! Love your videos, they take me back 50 years. 👍🏻 QQ: Cobia fillet looks like Mahi; are they similar on the table?
As a new spearfisher I've passed up a lot of shots because I wasn't 100% sure what the fish was, so identifying the fish while underwater is really helpful. The color in particular changes a lot underwater.
We do the same in Louisiana. It’s a travesty how many rigs they have removed. Should be the law that they stay legally lit and sounded until they crumble. The amount of life living on and around the rigs is hard to comprehend for those that haven’t experienced it.
Nice water guys. I like your panga adventure, it remind me of my last expedition to a floating rig 60 miles out on a 15' singe engine rib (we never got in the water because it was brown even that far out. Hit me up on your next hunt.
Are you changing the channel name? Not that you really respond to comments. But just curious if you were going to change it or keep it your first and last name?
Really like your videos. What was the water temperature? Also, what mil suit were you using or is this a rash guard? I grew up diving rigs off of Sabine Pass/Cameron in the Gulf. Getting back into it. Lots of rigs I used to dive are gone but there are still plenty of them, usually just have to go farther but that equals better visibility.
Really appreciate it! I honestly don’t recall.. I was wearing my 6 year old 3.5 mm.. which is stretched thinner so it’s more like a 2 I’d guess If only all the rigs were still here!!
Sad to see it go, but Life is like that little brother, and now better things are to come. I learned a lot from you while you rode the Ponga boat. May the new owner take good care. God bless you and thanks for the awesome video!
The Texas rigs to reef program is alive and there are more on the chopping block this year, this year TPWD is ding a rig-hopping lionfish removal expedition. The numbers are all public and soon the submerged platforms will have mooring buoys on them to tie to.
Love your videos man! I’m a fellow Panga owner. But down in GA we say “Paynga”. All good, keep up the videos. Looking forward to seeing your new boat in action.
It is amazing how they do so much work to preserve natural reefs but then they can just rip out manmade reefs without second thought. Those rigs hold just as much life as a natural reef. I mean just cut em down to the point where boats can see em… why destroy em and essentially kill all the fish?

Mucha perdida de tiempo viendo imágenes repetitivas. Estos vídeos te hacen perder el tiempo porque solo son imágenes de peces, no hay actividad de pesca !!!
I'm kind of shocked that no environmental group as sued to stop the removal of fish habitat. Even shark week crews praised them for the life they provide. Need to get my behind in gear since I want to dive a rig before they are gone
Unfortunately the ‘environmental’ groups are the ones behind it.. the oil spill incidents cause them to overlook everything and just assume everything needs to be completely removed..
@@BradenSherron Thanks for the reply. I do get them wanting to shut down the oil drilling and capping them. But removing the environment for the fish is total stupidity. Best of luck to you. And for the vidoes. Gave an old man the inspiration to get back in the water
Would a low voltage tazzer on tip of the spear gun be a human and legal method to deal with those aggressive sharks that readily steal your catch? It would surely only stun them temporarily?
Cool video bro!!🤙🏼😎 u musta went pretty far out for that water to be that clear!! The gulf where i stay viz is horribleee cant see 5ft infront of you🤣🤣
Just found your channel not too long ago. Your videos are incredible. Would have loved to do something like this when i was younger. Not gonna lie the sharks would have caused me too much anxiety. I'm tripping out when you're dealing with them. Kudo's to you guys for doing what you love. Keep those video's coming. Love it.
@@Womenlovefishpics Yes i'm looking at carbon. I've been doing some research and they say a problem with soft is trying to pull a big fish up and current also...
@robbs2875 firstly, id do carbon composite. If you are spearing, they won't get destroyed as easy. Just for reference, I have massive legs and calves, I'm 6.1. I bought mediums and if I am paddling from one area to another or for extended periods of time it can get very taxing. Pretty much everyone else I'm my group uses softs. If you want the extra power and exclusely boat dive, maybe consider it or are OK with knowing initially when you start using them you'll have a what the fuck these are stiff moment. Other than that, I'd go soft. I think it's also easier to gauge if they aren't the right flex also, your next pair you can go up a level if you really don't like them. What area and kind of spearing are you doing?
@@Womenlovefishpics I get what you are saying. I'ma be in the Florida Keys doing both shore and boat. I'll be doing reefs but eventually when I feel confortable some blue water as well.
It's coming from the oil rig platform. I believe it's incase of bad visibility, so other ships/boats can hear if they can't see it. I could be wrong. But I know it's coming from the platform.
@Kumukarl of course! 120 was my first gun that wasnt cheap af. It feels big if you are coming from a 100 or something but once you get used to it, it's not so big that it's an issue. I used a 120 for like 2 years and have a 105 also. The 120 I now use for Bluewater and the 105 is more reef stuff. Though, again, I hunted reefs with the 120 just fine. Just keep it half half cocked on the shaft if shooting near rocks because a 120 roller fucking punches 😂 lots tons of spears to the rocks when I didn't half load it. Also, Rob Allen's are super common, id consider finding one used. Just change the bands, you'll save like 300ish bucks
@@Womenlovefishpics good to know. It’s tough man, I mostly dive reef and shoot fish under 10lbs so the 110 with 14mm bands and a 7mm shaft is tempting. I figure the 120 would be the best all rounder from smaller reef fish to blue water. But I would be limited and would just need to be more selective with shots. I’m all about saving money but want to get this new. I’ve been looking at ordering one from Coatsmanspearfishing. With the conversion prices are the lowest I’ve found for carbon guns.
@Kumukarl or you build your own. Honestly, the whole new, old thing you realize doesn't matter much as long as it's a good gun and it's taken care of. New is a plus. But settling on lower quality components will just be a regret and larger expense later. Trust me. I've spend tens of thousands of this hobby and the one thing I've found you can't cheap out on is a gun. The trigger mechanism is extremely important. If you are building or buying a roller, ceramic bearings, a good reel. Those 3 things will make or break a gun, it's function and it's maintenaBTW? Ceramic rollers have no maintenance other than rinsing with water. The other kinds of them are not the same. If you want to save money and actually make sure you get good parts, id be happy to hook you up with a gun builder. He can make it however you want with whatever kind of parts that you want. You'd get a top quality gun for much cheaper, just respond here and we'll find a way to connect. The other is obviously just buying a complete and hoping it's mech holds up. Idk something to consider. Pretty much everyone I know ended up eventually stopping buying completes and just went that route because the value for the money is way better. Rob allen isn't known for great trigger mech, plastic if I remember correctly, their guns are hard to retrofit and modify with any other part than rob allen. Meandros and ermes sub and really the only two brands I'd look at for triggers mechs. Euro companies make the best guns generally speaking. Aimrite out of Australia is good too. Anyway. Hopefully that helps and if you want me to connect you with the guy who builds for all my friends and I, lmk. But all and all, a 120 roller works fine as a jack of all trades. You shouldn't have issues on the reef at all...well other than stuck shafts 😂 What area are you in btw?
Another awesome video, Braden. These are some great shots of fish swimming around the rig. Man, hope they preserve this rig and perhaps all it will take is for them to watch your video and realize this needs to be left alone…
Kudos for you guys! While a great number of folks your age are sitting around, watching video games and getting high, you guys are living LIFE! God bless you and yours! Love your videos, they take me back 50 years. 👍🏻
QQ: Cobia fillet looks like Mahi; are they similar on the table?
Really appreciate the kind words! Likewise. Means a ton to hear you enjoy them!
To me they’re pretty different! I prefer cobia.
Like the way you identified the fish you were targeting with pics ....as most of us don't really know them....keep up the good work Braden.
As a new spearfisher I've passed up a lot of shots because I wasn't 100% sure what the fish was, so identifying the fish while underwater is really helpful. The color in particular changes a lot underwater.
Glad it was helpful! Appreciate it!!
I enjoyed that as well

Great memorial to Panga1. Beautiful water and loved the montage and the big camera footage. What did the Cobia measure?
Really appreciate it!! It was around 44” I believe! You might be able to make it out when we measured at the end!

Tarpon everywhere and people dont fish it because they dont know how to prepare the meat..
Something is wrong.....the water is BLUE...!
Have you ever tried to catch those tarpon I see them in alot of your videos around the rigs
Honestly I haven’t lol. Maybe this year we will try.
Would a low voltage tazzer on tip of the spear gun be a human and legal method to deal with those aggressive sharks that readily steal your catch? It would surely only stun them temporarily?
Water is conductive you'd zap yourself.
whats this ANNOYING loud sound eveny now and then? great video!
The oil platforms beep!
Appreciate it!
Yang jadi pertanyaan siapa yang mau bikin rumah disitu ya.
Cobia é o Beijupirá aqui no Brasil 🇧🇷 ?
E nao é que por pouco eu nao homologava o record brasileiro no brasil... ja fui bao de pegar biju ...
been watching your channel grow Braden well done on 57K subs! onto 100K!
Really appreciate it !!!
Majestic 🐟🇯🇲💪
sangat2 luar biyasa master tempat ikan nya 👍🥰
how much did u paid to rent these pangas?
The footage is crazy bro, its like an entirely different world
It really is! Really appreciate it man 👊
love your content but especially love your music choices for this video.
Glad to hear! Really appreciate it!
Another banging video! Keep up the good work bro👊🏼
Really appreciate that. 👊👊
Good job bro, dive safe always
I have a twin Cummins Tiara 31 for sale its perfect for diving 50k new engines installed in 20010 and only 160hrs
Loved the Codia footage! Your wise for boat landing them....they can jack you up with the hard nods on top .....
Cool video bro!!🤙🏼😎 u musta went pretty far out for that water to be that clear!! The gulf where i stay viz is horribleee cant see 5ft infront of you🤣🤣
I subscribed because of your fantastic videography combined with music. Beautiful dive brother. Made me feel like i was there!
How much sell the panga …?
Amazing videos …!!!
That oil rig must have one big smoke detector... With a low battery.

Great rig
We dive one in blue water 50mi out of Louisiana in the Mississippi Canyon
Very similar type rig but have never seen Tarpons
Who's getting the Panga? I remember when that boat was for sale when you got it. I was looking at it too.
Baker rigs
hello, new to your channel. Your wetsuit, how many mm is it? Thank you.
Real?
Nice filming, and good to see some excellent finning technique, better than mine!
Крутые кадры,с такой прозрачностью воды можно потерять чуство глубины и времени.
Am watching from Jamaica,ur subscribers
The gulf is big .what platform or field
Good quality vid .thanks😮
😎🔱👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
tarpon, tasty fish if u clean it good...
About how big were the mangrove snapper
Lots of fun! Thanks.
Thank you for tuning in!!
What is the reason that they are blowing up the old oil rigs?
Insane footage. Great video man.
what do you recommend for fins for spearfishing, Soft or medium? Thanks
Unless your legs are jacked af go soft....assuming you are looking at carbon or carbon composite. Can't speak for other materials

You friends Miles Teller??
The perfect way to fillet a fish 🐟 easy
I do have a pet tarpon here😊
Wow nice fishing
Can I buy it?
Amazing content! What are these 8:40? We definetly dont see them here in the Mediterranean!
Tarpon nice prize fish but in fishing
Not good choice for spearfishing
It’s not tasty fish
Do the barracuda have ciguaterra there or something? Where I'm from they're sought after fish for eating.
They don’t! They just aren’t a top target most of the time when there’s other fish we prefer to go for first!
@@BradenSherron ah fair enough. Thanks
So coooool, what was that beeping noise tho?

What length RA roller is your buddy rocking? I’m having a hard time deciding between a 110 and a 120.
If you only have 1 gun, get the 120. Also, you can always cut it down. You can't add.
