Did anyone else cheer out when Rich yelled "it's a bone"? I haven't been this excited about a bone since prom night 20 years ago, awesome catch Rich!!!
That made me lol.
Lmfao I’m dead 😂🙈
Lmao🤣🤣🤣
Lmao
I remember that bone, very well, and I nailed it baby.
These videos are so beautifully produced. Good job man
Thanks so much! Means a lot when guys tell me this! Tight Lines!
Listen man, I don't know if a lot of people appreciate what you do, but I sure do. A lot of folks don't realize how freaking tough it is to fly to another part of a country you know very little about and just take a kayak and not only fish in an unfamiliar area, but actually catch fish that you've never fished for before. I have a lot of respect for you man and your dedication to fishing. Keep it up man, so much fun as a floridian to watch a fellow angler have so much fun in our area
Thanks Colby, reading this this morning put a smile on my face. I like when you guys give me great feedback like this! Tight Lines! 🤙🏻
I'm going for a honeymoon to the keys and am taking my paddle boards and some poles. This is super helpful, thanks!
Catching that bonefish really lifted your spirits, It’s funny how you can be dead tired after hours of not catching anything, but as soon as you catch one fish it gives you the ultimate boost
I swear the the fish does it on purpose. Let me give this Jasper a thrill,the shmuck has been out here all damn day.
For sure I was so down and out in my mind.
Did anyone else read “a few hours later” with the French Spongebob accent? Lol
I think I voiced the French spongebob accent when I typed it lol 😂
So happy I wasn't the only one.
Driving a Forerunner and operating a Drone at the same time. As Impressive as dodging a Bull Shark😉
Haha 😆 there’s a follow function that locks on to the object that being the car. So then I just basically drive and the drone flys itself 🤷🏻♂️. It’s so cool
What kind of drone is it?
Thank you for your polite choices for words and exclamations. It really enhances the experience for us viewers.
It’s like I went fishing with u.. I was there fishing .. that’s how I felt watching this ., thank you 🙏🏻
When you say "we" are you talking to us the audience, or do you have partner in another kayak with ya? Sorry, but I've always wondered.
Where was this kayak launch!? I’m going out there in a few weeks!!

Hey there 🤙🏻
@@FishAholicTV
What do you want to achieve in 2021?
Other : finance, position, college
Rich : The Bone 🔥
LIVE TO FISH, FISH TO LIVE
Keep Your Fire Dude 🔥👍
The production and editing is amazing on this series
Haha thanks Jake!! 🤙🏻
Great video. Wondering where in the keys this was? Looks like a beautiful spot. Would love to take a kayak there and go exploring one day. Thanks!
I know that launch spot!! Pretty sure that road was built for the smugglers to move "product" back in the 70s and 80s. Couldn't be more in the middle of no where. There's a deep channel just off that launch that I keep meaning to fish but haven't gotten to yet.
where is this spot?
Yes, where is the spot??
The excitement is palpable!!!! I'm literally pumping my fist for you man!!! I have the same dream!! I've lived in gulf coast florida for 13 years and never been to the keys but that's gonna change in the coming months. Especially now lol. Good shit my dog💪🤟👊
Awesome catch, great video...as usual, Thanks for sharing your adventures Rich.
Congrats on your first bonefish. Thanks for taking us along with you on this trip. My dad took me bonefishing many years ago, with a friend of his who was a guide. You have to sneak up on them, watching for their flash of silver just out of the surface of the water. What a thrill, right?
Thanks!! Yeah I saw no flashes while out there or any signs of bonefish. Definitely had a little luck but I’ll take it haha. Amazing thrill!!
Congratulations! Absolutely amazing how a fish the dimensions of an average rainbow trout has that sort of strength and stamina.
So stoked for you!! I lived in Islamorada for 3.5 yrs and worked those waters via kayak for all of them. I caught Snook, Tarpon and Permit, but can honestly say, don't know if I EVER even saw a Bone. I tried hard to scout them, but never had success. Seeing you achieve what I KNOW is SOOO DIFFICULT made my day!! I was as excited as you were. Nice WORK!!! Thanks for bringing back that feeling. Cheers!!
Ummmmmm ,,, anyone else see the ufo above the clouds behind him as he was getting in the yak in the beginning 1:40’s
I think it was just a cloud
Damn Rich does a great job!!! Love the quality. Quality of content, quality in language, quality in location. Just damn good content. Every time!!!
Hey Brian thanks!! Glad to know you enjoyed 🤙🏻
i just started watching this guy and I already love him
Haha welcome to the fishaholic Fam 🤙🏻
0:38 UFO filmed left top
I caught two back in the late 70's when we took yearly family fishing trips to Islamorada. The largest was 4.2 lbs. and nearly spooled me on the first run. I was using 15lb. test on a Ryobi Silver Cloud 5. Probably the fastest fish on the flats. It hit a Mepps spoon with mirror reflective tape.
That was such a good video. That bonefish looked a lot like a saltwater version of a whitefish or grayling or something. Awesome man!
OmG the fish looks like high polished Steel great babbyy
Spotnya bagus sekali bosku airnya jernih sekali dan tenang gak ada ombaknya
I too LOVE fishing but now I fish for Jesus. I Pray that you know him because he knows you and he Loves you so much.
ROMANS 10:9-10 kjv
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Way to stick it out man that's awesome! Bonefish is such an epic catch especially when you're out there just figuring it out for yourself. Great work!
New to your channel but just moved back to FL and plan to start kayak fishing again. (Going out tomorrow in Sarasota area)
Really enjoying watching your videos, top notch quality man. Subscribed and will be watching much more of your channel. Thanks for making your content
Dropping that good stuff in the morning
Sweet love this series. Can’t wait to watch this one.
Glad to hear! Hope you enjoyed this one 🤙🏻
I found the drone reconnaisance intro to scouting the flats to be highly disappointing. If you view your video from another fisherman’s perspective, perhaps you’ll realize why. Nothing but the natural sound of wind and water while you’re fishing (and video recording). Now, imagine that experience marred by the sound of a drone buzzing overhead. Lowrance equip - ok. Drone? No way. Think of others and the natural serenity that you’re disrupting. You wouldn’t throw plastic bottle in the ocean, why pollute the air with drone noise?
Bonefish are an addiction!! I use a bit lighter gear than you were using. A TFO Professional light power and a Shimano Vanford 2500.
My favorite fishing in FL. Kayak and some beautiful flats. Bone PB is ~13 lbs at Tea Table Key on a live shrimp. 45 minute fight that exposed the spool core several times.
Not sure about your wearing such dark colours on a bright sunny day standing on a kayak in shallow water. Big tall profile for the fish to see...
Look for water with a bit of wind ripple on the surface. Helps you disguise yourself from the fish. Bonefish are incredibly skittish, never got one myself in 2018 when I got a few days in the Keys. Had to settle for snook, which was quite cool. Congrats. Great videos. Thanks.
Dang
That's one of the tastiest fish! Fried.
Obviously I would've bagged that baby. 😋Mmmm
Good fishing content honestly, but I hate it when you open the drag to fake out a reel squeeling .. i see many other youtubers do it ... The non geniune extra action is simply unnecessary! I was GENUINELY exited with the Bone fish haha ...
lol AWESOME Rich! Happy for you bud. Cross that one off, nice job. Beautiful fish!!
They camouflage themselves from predators, in those sand and grassy spots, that match their skin. But they do feed on the white sand spots on the flats. They're so beautiful!! 🌊🎣 🛶
I've never caught a bonefish either, but I was excited as you watching you catch it! I know what my next fishing trips gonna be and where! Nice job!
The gray greasy great bagpipe muhly embarrass because control curiosly rub anenst a dashing drop. crazy, quiet juice
Well done buddy try keeping them in the water for release bonefish trust recommended practice ...very cool 😎
How heavy is your Hobie ? I have a 13 foot sit on top which weights about 70 pounds. I also have a 2020 4 runner. What roof rack do you have and how do you load it? Do you have a trick to getting it up there? Thank you!
The holy grail - Finding them is hard; Not spooking them is just as difficult... Poling the flats - paradise.
You should get together with Key West kayak fishing He's in marathon He canTake you around some really good spots I like when youtubers get Together Especially when I watch both of them
Has anyone seen the UFO hovering up in the clouds on the upper left in the intro from .33 to .47 sec. mark. Its white, long and appears to hover, no contrails. Second time is when he puts his kayak in, it just hangs up there. what is it?
Are there guided kayak fishing businesses in Florida? I want to learn first before I drop money on a vessel and gear. Thanks. I’m in palm beach county!
Bone fish is definitely up there with rooster fish, Giant travelly and tarpon in terms of bucket list inshore fish. I’m from so cal and lucky San Diego bay has a steady population of bone fish that migrated from Central American coast in search of cooler waters due to the water being too warm during a severe el Nieno. So I can drive 2 hours on the free way and check the bone fish off the list!
Great job, you just want to be careful to handle them as little as possible. They have a protective slime that creates a stealth (smell) from other fish. When that is damage or removed substantially they are sitting ducks. Just an FYI because bone is so over fished in the keys to the point they are in short supply. Peace..
I’m going bone fishing in the Bahamas in a couple days and this has me stoked!
I'm lookin' at this in 2022, and those Vudu shrimp are 12$ a piece...
When your fishing very shallow water like that are you using any kind of weight for your voodoo shrimp? Been thinking about biting the bullet and picking a couple up to give a shot.
Dude i love your video.. i live in a tropical area philippines samar island and i use 4000 series ryobi reel and rod ML to M reel casting ... pls pls can you hook me up with your bait .. with your scented shrimp lure or would like to try that one other lure your using that crabby lure where can i get my hands on them lures ..... cudda hunting here is different we dont have bone fish here but your lure seems promising .... i look forward from your future reponse .. dude more power ... tight lines and may the the fish gods bless us all.
Have you ever shown how your kayak is set up for an allday catch and cook? Very interested myselff.
Helo friends.. I am from Indonesia.. And i like yours video..
find some channels and drop offs ...fish will roam away from light during the day...and your in ...
I’ve got an automatic bone spot. It’s not the keys proper, but it’s as good as it gets for bonefish. Hit me up if you’re down there for much longer. That spot you’re at is really tough, it’s actually a decent permit spot and only gets better the further you go towards the content keys
Good job 1st bone fish, usually the bottom is white sand, hence the ghost, grew up in south Florida, did lot of fishing & diving
At the 5 minute mark of this vid...where exactly are you? Mile marker???
Congrats! You have joined the A. J. McClane club!
Hey Rich did you just leave the car in the area that you showed us at the beginning? Or what do you recommend doing? Thanks
in hawaii we call those o'io or this species specifically a round jaw o'io. There are two types where I live callled roundjaw or sharpjaw.
Epic moment. Congrats on your first bonefish.
Congratulations Rich! That's a huge feather in the cap.
There are some folks who come down and pay good money to catch a bone fish and wind up walking away empty handed. You find one on your first try.... Congrads on the catch.
Went to the website to buy some merch and show support, but you're all sold out, my dude!
I have fished Florida waters I have gotten red snapper barracuda king fish never got a red or snook or bone fish tarpon I have not caught some day
Gotta be careful with the bonefish. Sensitive fish. Treat em lightly
This is sick it makes me happy because today I actually caught my first bone today and I was so frik n happy
The easiest way to see a bonefish is get some amber colored polarized sunglasses. they will pop off the flats. Congrats on your first grey ghost.
First big dawg😮💨
I cant believe that’s what the water looks like in the flats. In tampa the flats waters are usually more brown and murky
bonefish tail in skinny water i like the fact you down size your leader i use pink ande 15# anything heavier kills the action of the lure
Haven't heard "boo-yaa"" in a long time!! Loma!! Congrats on the bucket list fish! 👍
Haha thanks Robert!! Hopefully a lot more boo yahs to come 😆
Awesome series you have going on man! Keep it up !
Hey, where’d you get that kayak Cart? Looking into one and yours looks awesome.
Bro team up w Elias
And make a video
Waww nice.. Hello im anglers fishing from indo 🙏
Like your videos. What make and model drone do you use.
pound for pound bone's are the stongest fish in the back country
Can you tell me if recommend a pair of wading shoes like yours. I dont do wading like you order there i do wade here in Minnesota
U should get some crocks i started using them so comfy and water friendly
Nice bone! Funny story, we lived in KW for 6 years, for my birthday my wife bought me and my buddy a guide for bonefish. Done lots of tarpon but not bone, and this was THE guy in the keys. Chris took us out and we got settled to look for bones. Darn hard in that water isnt it. So after about an hour we had cracked the corona and lit cigars, and Chris says, hey you wanna cast at that bone going past the boat right now ? I looked and looked, I saw nothing, I looked at my buddy and the guide and said "Nope" -- the guide was got sooo pissed and took us back in. He bartended at the same bar as my wife (Louies Backyard) -- he didnt speak to my wife for months.
Love you’re vids absolute 🔥
Are vudu shrimp only for saltwater?
Good jop man I like your channel because you never ever give keep it up man
Rich: I am going to try the voodoo shrimp again.
Fish: ...
Do you prefer pro-cure over liquid mayhem? 🤔
Do you have any sunglasses that sponsor you so I can get some through fishaholic?
they should just send you voodoos for free you have convinced me over the last few months that if all else fails throw the voodoo!
Is this the back country of Big pine? Looks like content key
I have been in the keys fishing a long time ago I would love to get back the to fish again some day
I’ll never forget my first Bonefish... Belize on the fly
Still yet to get a bone fish. Reminds me of corbina fishing on the west coast.
Hey Rich, do you have the model of the drone you used in this video?
Love your videos man
How can you possibly see a bone fish or any other non human being "in person"? 😆
Congratulations Rich
YOU DA MAAAAN!!!!!! Finally caught the bone fish!!!!!👍🏼🙏🏽💪🏼
A tip I learned from a guide down in Islamorada is that you aren’t actually looking for the bonefish; you’ll never see the actual fish. You are looking for the shadow on the bottom. Sight fishing for bones is primarily done on a slick calm day with little glare on the water, yet enough sun to cast shadows. The best way he put it to me is “remember this, the first time you actually see the fish is when he’s at the boat. You will not see him in the water; you’ll only see the shadow on the bottom.” And he also mentioned mud clouds on the flats. That’s actually how I caught my first bone. We were poling the flat and came up on a mud cloud. I just blind casted right into the middle of it & hooked/landed a bone. Best. Fight. Ever. So much power packed into a small fish.
@ayo9057 Yes you could. But sight fishing by poling a flat is meant to add the reward & satisfaction of the catch. Anyone can just throw chum in the water; only a few can actually catch them by sneaking onto a school & finessing them to bite without spooking them.
