Good afternoon... "Thanks For The Hats"!!! I'm the utility manager on Bimini, and you gave one of my workers two hats.. He gave me the Grey one.. BTW, We're both boaties and My boat is the sport fisher on the hard sitting on the barge across the way.. Anyway, Thanks, and of course I subscribed.
This is definitely my favorite fishing and boating channel. Keep up the outstanding work. ❤ Im glad to finally find some youtubers who are humble both in the vidoes and out in public.
Wow…. stellar diving episode Clay. This used to be my go-to diving area out of Big Pine as a boy. You and Stephanie remain a breath of fresh air these days with your always admirable ethics, videography and underwater hunting skills. Your no quit’ perseverance turned a lot of hard work into a prize to remember. I remember when you told me you were a newbie at spearfishing …. those days are gone Clay. You are sticking dinner with the best now! We’ll do e and glad to see the knife on your leg, gloves and you dive time management. You and Stephanie are a force of and for’ nature.
I have lived in the FL. Keys (Marathon) all my life and born into a commercial fishing family. A year ago I made the move to Tennessee to enjoy mountain life. I love watching your videos, it brings me back to the world that for so many years being on the water was so much a part of my life. Just an observation for people that might be looking for that awesome meal at KIKI'S the location is actually on Little Tourch Key and not Big Pine Key. Thanks for the awesome memories you bring back!
Guys, the video and the music just keeps getting better and better and better. The fishing is nearly secondary at this point. It is absolutely fantastic. With the right people around you, this thing will in the future be more than a UA-cam channel.....
Great video guys. I felt tired knowing you dived all day. The water was beautiful. I can't imagine how hard it was getting that grouper out of the rocks. But when I saw him on your plates, it looked well worth it. Made my mouth water. Thank you again for all the time and effort you guys put into making your videos. They are such a treat for me!
I must give a huge shout out to your camera crew and the editing they do. Your videos are always top notch and love watching all your videos as they come out. Keep up the good work.
"Always protect what God has given us, know when to stop and don't be greedy." Words to live by, Clay. Great commentary, and the visuals today were absolutely stunning.
hey guys, found your channel this weekend and watched it all. Brought back so many wonderful memories growing up on gulf coast over 50 years ago with parents who were avid recreational fishermen. your videos are so well made and beautifully done. what a life👍👏👏
Hello Clay & Steph, another exciting episode for us. Nice to see how you were persistent with that huge grouper. Some years back I used to follow this guy fishing the Keys. The narration included by him was the best part of the show. Clay, your narrations are very good and on point. By now you may have figured out Flip Pallot was the Keys Fisherman I was referring to earlier. Your show has one Key Thing his did not, its because you have a Queen on board. Hint Hint!!!!! P.S I caught a 47lb grouper out of Destin aboard the First Light, that fish whipped my butt, but we had fillets for the freezer!!!!!
We have purchased many clothing items and accessories…thanks for the quality, colours and value!! Can’t wait to fish again w your brother in law…great family…just moved to south Florida…cutter bay. Keep doing what u do…so impressive!
Awesome video guy's, epic shot on that grouper Clay. That's alot of groceries for the fridge and dinner table. You gave an awesome saying you gave Clay in the end, good to see you guy's and have a safe and blessed day. Aloha from Kansas
Great video it’s awesome to see the struggle in the spearfishing and how others show how it’s always so easy and never show the realistic parts and this video is a great way to wind down and relax after a 3 hour boat trip for us today
"Welcome to the Florida Keys Aquarium I'm your Diver, Clay and today we'll be cheating." So okay I know spearfishing looks like it's cheating, simply gulp some air, dive down to where the trophy fish are and shoot one, easy!. Not so easy, I've shot a few Lingcod and Pardo in my day from the coast of Vancouver Island to the Sea of Cortez and fishing with a rod and reel is much more relaxing and you catch more fish too, the problem is you can't target the fish you want. Spearing gives you the opportunity to be selective in what you harvest, and to me that's the pleasure I derive from Spearfishing. You guys are so fortunate to be near such an insane amount of sea life, it is truly astonishing watching some of the video you have shot over the past couple of years. You really do have some of the best underwater content I have ever seen. Yet with the passion you both have for fishing of any variety you make sure to take what you need, not to fill every place that can hold ice on that gorgeous Pathfinder 2400. God has indeed blessed us with the life on this planet, and for our lives on it. Take care - Dave
Wow these videos just keep getting better and better. Cheers to the team for another stellar video! And major kudos for showing the side of Freedive spearfishing that truly honors the everyday Freedive spearo , the hard work we put into a full day and how selective a majority of us are. 👊🏼😎. Cheers !

Love the channel and you guys really put your heart and soul into it. I’ve learned a ton over the past couple of years since my wife Michelle and I started watching. Just received apparel off your site also. I bought some of the collared polos. They are true to size, excellent workmanship and reasonable priced. Al coming back for more. Clay and Stephanie keep up the good work!!!
Another Top Notch video. Love living vicariously through you guys every week. Almost time to just pick up and move down there! (Yes Stephanie, you will be my realtor!)
You 2 are great I feel like I've known you like a friend for years, you know you are doing a great job when your audience feels "at home". Question, does the saltwater affect the retractable straps. Enjoy what God has given us - I love it
Hey Steve, Thank you for that. We love to hear feedback like that. We take really good care of our equipment. After each use we rinse down with freshwater and store properly.
Clay and steph keep doing everything u guys do i quickly got addicted to your channel i love fishing and every video u guys make never dissapoints. Im a fisherman from jersey and i love fishing up here but you guys make me wanna mive down to the keys, the way you guys produce these videos its like watching a piece of heaven on earth
Nice black. My favorite bottom fish. I have caught many in Key Largo. The message of conservation is important. My best 72 lbs deep jigging . Love your videos.
Great video! Any fish is a good fish. Of the folks I have seen spearfishing they are well conditioned, water athletes. Kudos to Stephanie on the launching of the boats. So much easier working as a GOOD team. Enjoyed the video.
Thanks for another great video. Just a technical comment, Kiki’s is actually in Little Torch Key which a lot of people don’t know about but it’s a great place to live. I’m in Jolly Roger Estates (across US1 from Kiki’s). I’ve been following you guys for at least a couple of years now and you have helped me acclimate to the area more than you know… thank you thank you thank you
Was just down in Islamorada. We had an awesome time! I always hate leaving. If I come across $3 million, Stephanie will be the first person I call! Great video once again! Always looking forward to the next.
Well done video y'all! I just wish I knew more about spear fishing when I was a young Marine fishing off the rivers and coast of South Carolina where I was stationed.
Another awesome video guys! Love the lower keys and that spearfishing is tough man! Nice grouper that thing was tough to get. We eat over at Kiki's Sandbar all the time great food! Awesome video!
I believe spearfishing involves more fairness and immersion in comparison to fishing. With spearfishing, you have to enter the fish's environment and outsmart the fish rather than trying to trick fish into biting a line. It’s a lot more difficult than it looks! Getting a nice grouper like that is still a successful day in my book!
Clay and Steph y’all are some absolute fish slayers and do some pretty amazing videos thanks for sharing and teaching as y’all learn keep doing what y’all do and god bless
Nice black, I shot one in 55ft, 36 inches , had a black grouper fish fry with the family. Didn't taste any different than when I hooked them. I prefer spearfishing though. It's more physically challenging plus 30 years of spearfishing and you learn their behavior. Keep posting.
Just picked up a new to me trailer, it will replace my steel single axle trailer. Tandem axle aluminum I beam trailer! Hoping that will allow us the sense of security to head out further to explore! Love this content, maybe one day we will make it down there! That’s a long haul from SC, but y’all make it look so inviting!
Wow, Nice Boat, Nice Fish, Beautiful Wife, Beautiful Life 😉 Great Job Getting Your 1st Black Grouper By Spear, You Both Are So Blessed To Live On The Water and Do The Thing That Ya'll Love The Most, Hunting For, Catching/Cooking/Eating Fresh Seafood. Thanks For Sharing, Great Job 👍😎
Some of if not the best video footage and explanation on you tube to this day. Thank you and Stephanie and your crew for everything you do. Love the footage. Mak s an individual or family want to move there. Lol have a great weekend
Pretty good, black groupers are very elusive and very strong as well, great catch ! PD: Everyone has different techniques while freediving/spearing but it would be a good habit of getting the snorkel off your mouth while starting to descend ( many reason to list ) I understand that the snorkel you using looks more of a Scuba oriented one than freediving but it is a good habit not to descend/spear and come up with the snorkel in the mouth. As always great vid, great trailer ( now I know better ), great clothing, cool wife ( fiancé I forgot ) 😀 .. Hasta luego.
Hey been watching your videos for sometime and I think I might have seen you in the afternoon by Key Largo filling up on US1 around 4 of July as well ! Great content man, especially showing the reality of the spearfishing. Quick suggestion though if you go underwater again. Try your best to kill all spotted lionfish like the one hiding at @9:37 Those things are wiping out young fish numbers, it is absurd when you see it. Just do a quick google image search and type in "Lionfish stomach content" -you cant unsee the damages they do to our fish population. We gotta do our best to protect our waters and ecosystem. Plus they taste good too! Anyways hope to meet you one day in person! If you ever want to scuba and spearfish, Lmk! 😀👍
Another great video, Clay & Stephanie! I bet the Grouper was delicious! Clay, I noticed you don’t use a weight belt. Do you think that would help or hinder your free dive? Steering from up top looks so cool! 😎
Great show as always! Thank you! Quick Question… when you launched your boat you have those awesome snaps/straps that look like they attached to your trailer. Can you let me know where to get them? I have a 22’ Robalo & would love to pick up a pair. Thanks in advance… God bless you guys!
That 2400 is such a killer rig. Just moved to central TX from FL panhandle, sold my big offshore boat. Wonder if the 2400 would be a good TX lake boat mixed with some coastal stuff. Really torn on a 24 or 26 footer…
Hey guys love this one hey Clay remember Aron ( kwwm) acción bring acción the shot in the tale great but the sooner you put out the hole use your knife and kill remember the movements in the water that’s the one call sharks around you anyway great video love you guys
Another great show! That fish looked really good. We stay on Summerland Key when we are down there. Kiki's is a favorite as is Boondocks. But our VERY favorite is Blue Heaven in Key West. WAIT NO! IT SUCKS DON'T GO THERE!!!
As always, awesome video! Love you guys! With so many shark attack videos, are you nervous being in the water? Do you have a strategy you can share of when not to go in the water?
How do you like the 2400 open? Im thinking of getting one. I know it's hard to get on the tower. Are you going to do cut away the side to gain access to the tower. My old self gets stuck getting on tower. How does it ride in big water? And problems with 15" water?
Hey Tommy, thanks for reaching out. We absoulty love our 24 open. We love the open versatility, and how its set up. All while being a bay boat. We will probably leave it the way its set up.

"Always protect what God has given us, know when to stop and don't be greedy." Words to live by, Clay.
Great commentary, and the visuals today were absolutely stunning.
Thank you for watching. It's really important to teach about conservation and conserving our resources for generations to come.

Those spots in the lower keys are elite and can be held close up there with the Bahamas! Another Great Production
So appreciated thank you so much for the support. It's definitely the untold part of the keys that haven't been exposed too much. Which is great!
I like the spearfishing, videos, great to mix it up, 🐟🐟🐟🐟
Thank you Peter for watching. We like to mix it up every now and then.
Awesome video guy's, epic shot on that grouper Clay. That's alot of groceries for the fridge and dinner table. You gave an awesome saying you gave Clay in the end, good to see you guy's and have a safe and blessed day. Aloha from Kansas

Hey Joseph, thank you so much for watching.
Nice black. My favorite bottom fish. I have caught many in Key Largo. The message of conservation is important. My best 72 lbs deep jigging . Love your videos.
Thank you Lee, I think it's very important to remind people that without conservation we won't have resources left for future generations.
Great video! Any fish is a good fish. Of the folks I have seen spearfishing they are well conditioned, water athletes. Kudos to Stephanie on the launching of the boats. So much easier working as a GOOD team. Enjoyed the video.
Thank you so much for watching. Always an adventure on life by the bow.
Thanks for another great video. Just a technical comment, Kiki’s is actually in
Little Torch Key which a lot of people don’t know about but it’s a great place to live. I’m in Jolly Roger Estates (across US1 from Kiki’s). I’ve been following you guys for at least a couple of years now and you have helped me acclimate to the area more than you know… thank you thank you thank you
Hey there! Thank you so much for watching.
Another great video! I admire your patience, perseverance, and dedication when fishing.
Thank you so much. We have to care about our ecosystem so that our next generation can have something.
The quality of your videos and your voice make for a new school FLIP Pallot fantastic
Really appreciate that thank you so much.
Your videos keep getting better. We enjoyed joining you on your fishing day. Kiki's is the best! Keep up the good work...
We appreciate that. Thank you so much for watching!
Spearfishing is HARD work. My favorite is the Hog (they are a lot smarter than the Lion fish...lol). Nice Grouper, thanks for taking us along.
Thank you for watching. It is hard work.
Incredible!! 🔥🔥
Love the learning on y’all’s channel! Living and loving what God gave us! Cheers 🥂
Hey Kristen, thank you so much. All about conserving our resources for future years.
Was just down in Islamorada. We had an awesome time! I always hate leaving. If I come across $3 million, Stephanie will be the first person I call! Great video once again! Always looking forward to the next.
Thank you so much! You obviously know who to call!
Stephanie backs that trailer better than a huge majority of the weekend warriors at many ramps.
Thank you so much! Haha
Well done video y'all! I just wish I knew more about spear fishing when I was a young Marine fishing off the rivers and coast of South Carolina where I was stationed.
Thank you for your service! But hey it's never too late to learn!
Always a good day when life by the bow uploads! I love watching these videos!
Thank you for watching, glad you enjoy!
Loved this video! Exactly what I needed for my keys FEVER!! Coming down there tomorrow! 🙌🏻 more Spearfishing PLEASEEE!
Awesome, hopefully, the weather cooperates for you. Bring plenty of sunscreen.
Another awesome video guys! Love the lower keys and that spearfishing is tough man! Nice grouper that thing was tough to get. We eat over at Kiki's Sandbar all the time great food! Awesome video!

This is your sign to do it! Thanks for watching.
This channel man, really something special
Thank you so much. Much appreciated
Great job! That was a lot of work!! Glad the hammerhead didn’t show up earlier. 😮
Thank you so much for watching! Honestly, that could of ended a lot differently.
Best wallet I have ever owned. Like watching the videos, and Bahama’s are amazing.

no...Guys..."all it takes" is the right woman...you are a lucky man Clay
I honestly couldn't agree more. Thank you.
Just picked up a new to me trailer, it will replace my steel single axle trailer.
Tandem axle aluminum I beam trailer!
Hoping that will allow us the sense of security to head out further to explore!
Love this content, maybe one day we will make it down there!
That’s a long haul from SC, but y’all make it look so inviting!
Good for you, I hope that brings you new adventures down the road. Thank you for watching!
Wow, Nice Boat, Nice Fish, Beautiful Wife, Beautiful Life 😉 Great Job Getting Your 1st Black Grouper By Spear, You Both Are So Blessed To Live On The Water and Do The Thing That Ya'll Love The Most, Hunting For, Catching/Cooking/Eating Fresh Seafood. Thanks For Sharing, Great Job 👍😎
That's very kind. Thank you so much, much appreciated.
I just saw your boat on a GMC commercial. I was like hell yeah time to watch some videos
Yes! We just posted a few new ones so enjoy! Thanks for watching!
I have traveled afar but never been to the Keys, It is definately on the list for the next vacation, also love my Avail gear.
You should definitely. It's a beautiful place to visit if you have the chance. We truly appreciate your support of Avail and our channel, thank you.
Some of if not the best video footage and explanation on you tube to this day. Thank you and Stephanie and your crew for everything you do. Love the footage. Mak s an individual or family want to move there. Lol have a great weekend
Hey Robert, thank you so much for watching and following along!
Another great video. I'm sure diving is a lot harder than it looks and that grouper gave you a good fight.
Thank you Brian. It's all an adventure, thanks for watching
As always, great video you 2. Spear fishing looks like a lot of work but the end result looks delish!
Thank you so much! It was some good eating!
That boat is freaking beautiful
We appreciate that, thank you!
I think we may just have to retire there, buy a boat and explore all those places you video and of course fish! 🎣
That sounds like a good life. Thank you for watching!
@@LifeByTheBow Thank you for your awesome videos!!
Pretty good, black groupers are very elusive and very strong as well, great catch !

Thank you so much.
Still liking logo on side of boat..looks subtle but nice
Easiest boat off that I’ve seen 👍
That's great! Thank you so much for watching
It’s b great if Steph did a video on ‘backing a trailer’… would inspire my beautiful wife to follow her lead.
That's a really good idea. Thank you so much for that.
That’s quite a video production. Very professional. 👍
Thank you very much. We put a lot of effort into our videos so thank you.
So much fun and I want to go spear fishing now. Kelp up the great videos!!!
Much appreciated. Thank you!

Probably was us. Yes thank you, we try our best to take out lion fish when we're out there. We know how much they're destroying our ecosystem.
Another great video, Clay & Stephanie! I bet the Grouper was delicious! Clay, I noticed you don’t use a weight belt. Do you think that would help or hinder your free dive? Steering from up top looks so cool! 😎
Hey Julia, it honestly doesn't make that much of a difference for me personally. But I prefer without.
Congrats on your first grouper while diving! Awesome catch!
Thank you so much.
Great show as always! Thank you! Quick Question… when you launched your boat you have those awesome snaps/straps that look like they attached to your trailer. Can you let me know where to get them? I have a 22’ Robalo & would love to pick up a pair. Thanks in advance… God bless you guys!
Hey there, thanks for reaching out. The straps actually came with our AmaraTrail Trailer.
What is the location of this boat ramp? We are planning to go way down as well.
Hey Robert, we were at a public boat ramp in Big Pine Key.
That 2400 is such a killer rig. Just moved to central TX from FL panhandle, sold my big offshore boat. Wonder if the 2400 would be a good TX lake boat mixed with some coastal stuff. Really torn on a 24 or 26 footer…
Hey Nick, thank you so much for watching. We absolutely love the versatility of the 24 open.
Thats a woman. A real one… strong beautiful. Everything her man and her family needs her to be.
Thanks so much! We sure do appreciate her.
Hey guys love this one hey Clay remember Aron ( kwwm) acción bring acción the shot in the tale great but the sooner you put out the hole use your knife and kill remember the movements in the water that’s the one call sharks around you anyway great video love you guys
Hey Eduardo, thank you for watching.
Awesome video guys. Clay put in some work that day.
Thank you so much for watching. Happy wife, happy life.
That grouper looks delicious!
Oh it was delicious. Thank you so much!
Another great show!
That fish looked really good.
We stay on Summerland Key when we are down there.
Kiki's is a favorite as is Boondocks.
But our VERY favorite is Blue Heaven in Key West. WAIT NO! IT SUCKS DON'T GO THERE!!!
That is also a very good spot! Thanks for watching.
Another banger. Absolute beast of a grouper. Nice job guys 🤙
We appreciate that, thank you so much.
MA!!!! LIFE BY THE BOW JUST POSTED!!!!!!!

Wow, really well done! Great video and editing.
Thank you so much Joseph.
Another great video. You are the best Capt Clay ❤
That's awesome! Thank you so much for watching.
WOW nice hard fought Black Grouper! Awesome job!! 👍👍👊👊
Thank you so much.
@@LifeByTheBow 👍👍
Beautiful video!!! Love the drone!!
Thank you so much
Need to get Key West Waterman back on for some more spear content!!
Hey Paul, thanks for watching, We think so too!
The Keys keep moving up the list of places to retire with videos like this. Sounding like a broken record, but once again, amazing video.
Thats awesome. It's a beautiful place to live for sure.
Nice catch ! The quality of the videos is 👌
Thank you so much for watching. We appreciate the positive feedback.
Great drone shots!
Thank you.
It's not cheating, it's one more skill to add to the box, and it's certainly not easy🤙❤️
Thank you so much for watching. I agree, another life skill.
This woulda been nice to see your wife cook the grouper. Nice video y’all!
We like to have a little diversity sometimes. We appreciate you watching.
Just sitting here in my Avail polo enjoying the video
Heck yea! We appreciate the support! Thank you so much.
As always Great video Clay. Can you give up the location of that beautiful sandbar you guys stopped by?
Thanks
Hey there! Thanks for watching, it's called contents key.
As always, awesome video! Love you guys! With so many shark attack videos, are you nervous being in the water? Do you have a strategy you can share of when not to go in the water?
Hey there, thanks for watching. I would say we are cautious, we are in their environment, we have to respect their space.
How do you like the 2400 open? Im thinking of getting one. I know it's hard to get on the tower. Are you going to do cut away the side to gain access to the tower. My old self gets stuck getting on tower. How does it ride in big water? And problems with 15" water?
Hey Tommy, thanks for reaching out. We absoulty love our 24 open. We love the open versatility, and how its set up. All while being a bay boat. We will probably leave it the way its set up.
@@LifeByTheBow I live in Tampa Bay and fish skinny waters. I know that state it drafts 15". Have u guys taken it around the flats?
BTW love your gear and logo!
FYI Kiki’s is on little torch not BPK. Great episode .
Yes, we misspoke about that. Thanks for watching.
Another great video living the dream !!!!!
Appreciate that, we really are blessed to be able to live the dream.
Looks like you caught a mola mola on film right after you plug the grouper on the boat
Oh gosh! Nope not on this channel! Ha thank you for watching.
@@LifeByTheBow then what was that in the water 14:02
