Just wanted to say I first watched you over a year ago when i was heading down to your area to fish. Even bought some bait from hooked up. Since then, my girlfriend and i watch you regularly because you've become the best channel there is when it comes to fishing videos balanced with advice, gear, cooking, and all kinds of species. Keep up the great work!
I know you have a larger boat now, but what drew me to your video channel was your focus on the fish, your explanation of your rigs and why you use them is a certain area/time. I like that the gear you use is not out of reach for most people. 17 ft. w/90 horse, fuel efficient, nothing just for show. quality reels and rods you use.(Always smart to invest in good gear) and you thank the lord for all he does for us. I don't do that as often as I should, you remind me to do so more often, so thanks. Keep following your passion. It's much better than you think. (I like your Mom too, Nice lady.)
I know it’s been 2 years but I watch a lot of fishing videos and I have never seen anyone catch a red snapper that big, WOW, WOW, WOW, what a beautiful fish!
Hey Brother. Thankyou for your service first off. Secondly thankyou for this awesome channel. It's easy to see that you are an upstanding person. Me and my son's watch religiously waiting for your next video. They are 13 and 11 and you sir are their hero. I'm glad they chose you to idolize instead of all the other things they could have this day in age. Thankyou for your example. We live over on Dauphin island but my folks live in Orange Beach. We would love to get up sometime for a handshake. They always look for you anytime we are out fishing that area. Thanks again man and good fishing.
Thanks for all you do I learn a lot by watching you and thanks for your service I am an army veteran I have been out 49 years now and now I am disabled and I would truly love to go fishing but it is tough so I injury watching you and others I injury fishing through you all thanks again from a truck driver retired and a veteran
Dude honestly just watching you outmuscle and beat that monster of a snapper was so impressive!! It's really awesome to discover someone as passionate/charismatic and entertaining as you who's at the same time not incredibly big yet (certainly will be) but produces high quality and production value content. Watching your unfiltered struggle to fight that fish, and seeing your genuine reaction and joy when you realized it was a PR, amazing. I bet you'll remember that fish for years to come, and good thing you caught everything on camera and made a dope vid out of it :)))
@@danni1993 More than likely its out of season and being that large, its generall a good idea to let them go anyway since those tend to be females and older females will produce a shitton of eggs compared to smaller egg bearing younger ones.
You got some good eating there Bama. Congratulations on that Red Snapper. I loved the fight. If you get the chance next time you are fishing deep water please explain what you have to do to release the fish after bringing it up from deep water. Awesome video! Thanks
Good Morning! I'm here spending my morning with ya. I couldn't sleep past 3:30, I so enjoy watching you! Your laugh, your info, your energy. You just make me smile almost the whole time. You sure make me what to come to Orange Beach Alabama. You need a shirt that says He Gone! lol Now you have me laughing outloud for real!! I love it!!!
Wow absolutely a beautiful red snapper. You have some great eating there. I hope to catch some mangroves in the pass at the end of April!! We are coming down for vacation. I can’t wait. Great video!
Hey I used to vacation with my fam down at Gulf Shores all through my childhood in the 80's, and watching your channel has brought back some great memories. We used to stay at the State Park but some years we rented condos and even stayed at the old Gulf Shores Motel once, with the massive rooms. I haven't fished since around 2002 but it's very relaxing to watch, and I like all the awesome nature stuff too. Thanks for being a top notch steward of the environment and setting good examples for people to follow!
My son caught one that was 28” and I thought it was a monster! Fed 15 people tacos for dinner. I can’t imagine what that was like live. Great job. Can’t wait to be fishing there soon.
Yup! I know how it works haha. Gotta find that fine line between breaking off/pulling that fish off the structure. It was tight enough to where you couldn’t physically pull the drag out by hand , lol
My Dad lives on Peninsula Drive and enjoy fishing Orange Beach and have landed plenty of Red Snapper out of the gulf along with Wahoo and Kings. Keep on fishing and enjoying Bama
great video. that's a sow snapper for sure. 2nd biggest i've seen measured. saw a 37.5 inch once measured 24 years ago. great job. keep 'em coming. God bless.
that red snapper whipped you like a red-headed stepchild. Had ya grunting. And turned out your biggest ever. Too bad ya got seasoned on it. For historical purposes, my aunt taught me something about step-children. She calls them bonus daughters and bonus sons. It gives them a wonderful and proud title. I have two bonus sons...Both combat disabled veterans (Army). One when he's not selling real estate around Ft. Hood he's bass fishing in Saledo Tx. I'm looking forward to floundering with a boat and light in West Fowl River here in Mobile County. this was a great video...Congrats on your record snapper.
You continue to improve your content over time! I started watching you a year ago and now I’m looking forward to every video. I’ve watched other saltwater fisherman on UA-cam for 10 years and you have moved into the top category of content producers. May God continue to bless you young man!
Really nice snapper dude appreciate the way you take care of the fish your not keeping wish everyone would do the same takes care of the sport and the fish keep the hooks wet and good luck on your next trip God bless
Great trip and great vid! Love making those 6/0 and 9/0 work, buddy just tried to destroy his 11/0 but it got it in. Nope, no legal snapper goes back in, table time for each one.
You got him! Dadgum, that's a monster. Awesome vid, thanks. Man, I miss the Gulf... Really appreciate the sonar shots and structure info. Any more you could provide regarding moon-phase, tides, pressure, what have you, would be the icing on the cake. Catch 'em up!
