as someone who lives on big pine this is what its all about, bless you man for saving the little guy and not leaving him on that little island

Thanks Steve ! we stopped down in January and really appreciate your videos. Enjoyed this launch spot. Love the All about the bait circle hook ! Those were money, early january cuda wasn't much action but we will be back in April! Keep it up - Tim & Chelsea

Coming down end of March are you a walk in bait store or just online sales

The lens flair you have can be reduced or eliminated by a lens hood. I don't know anything about your camera but if the manufacturer doesn't make one or it's too expensive you are handy so you can make one. Depending on your camera, the lens hood can be attached permanently. I have made several for small cameras and they work well. Make it as long as you can without cutting off the corners of your image.

Poor lil baby doesn't know which way to swim. Thank you for helping this helpless animal!!!

It's your new hat !! You've been identified as a newly outfitted tourist angler and the word spread fast in the underwater jungle. No fish for you!

First off, all the haters need to go watch a different fishing video (think there are ten million options). This was very helpful to me as a new small boater. You kinda hit every one of my nightmare scenarios: unpredictable Florida storm, wrong tide, wind confusion, engine died, stuck in middle of a channel, no trolling option, and then boat filled with water! Dude, you hit every one of the reasons I worry lol. Interesting how you stayed so calm but I guess there wasn't much more to do. I'm guessing some things should be done before getting on a boat that weren't done? Thanks for the video!

You are a good egg!

Bless your soul, brother. Your kindness is truly inspirational and appreciated 🙏

Still Great to see you out there! Catching is a plus but how many ppl get to do what you are doing. Paradise!!!

My dad stole my AATB shirt and I know he watches these videos ... Dad??

Good catch Steve , keep up the good work!

You are as adorable as the raccoon! Wakey wakey! Cracks me up every time.

I know this was from 2 years ago, but somehow appeared on my TL. I guess you would not read my comments, but I just wanted to thank you for being kind to animals. Also, I just wonder if the island you brought him/her has had raccoons already… if not, you might have endangered any Indigenous species on that island by randomly bringing and releasing a foreign species/predator… even though you definitely saved his/her life and your whole action was so kind and compassionate ❤ He/she must have been swimming for life for who knows how long until you rescued the poor raccoon. Must have been exhausted! Don't you happen to have any update on this raccoon you rescued on the ocean?

I went to Florida, and I want to the keys to. I went to the same place.

Cudas are delicious - down in the islands that fat boy would have fed 5 families

Who knows how long he had been swimming when you arrived and saved him from drowning due to exhaustion?"❤❤❤

He is dead tired.... poor thing.

Two years ago I watched this. Another go was worth the time. Thanks for saving this little guy.

Aahh. He just once somewhere to nest up and it’s a compliment to you he felt safe. With you. Good energy sir!!

Aahh. 😭😢 freaking awesome. Good job dude

Nice video

Awesome!

Nice!!! Great meeting you yesterday, Steve!! You're a true gentleman!

RaccUber ❤

Raccoons bond with family. Poor guy is not with them.

Is that a drone in the beginning hovering in the top left corner of the screen?

lol I'd have gone home with a pet racoon

This build is awesome! I keep coming back to this! Im modifying a canoe with outriggers and hopefully a small outboard! Mine will be mostly river use. Would you consider doing an update? Apologies if you already did and I missed it! Cheers!

Steve, new hat for the New Year, with the new Cuda shirt. Looking smooth! That looked close to your PB Cuda, a cpl of years back. I think it was around 52 inches. Epic trip, my friend. 💯 😎 🎣

babe, wake up! You gotta go to work! Scared to really wake her up lol

Steve, try a GoPro polarized lens; I never see any of the fish you point at underwater no matter how close I have my iPad to my face, lol. Fish On!

Steve; back in the 70’s when we figured out that the cudas went crazy for the tubes, we used about a two foot section of 3/8” surgical tubing. You get a crazy more life like zig zag action. Those were the first designs. Try it.

Awesome catch just got one that is 32 lbs yesterday

👍😎✌

Beautiful Cuda

You are the best🎉

I like your new hat!😄

He wanted the new family.

Love how patient you are. That coin was zonked!!!

Pfffft. It's 40 degrees here. Virtual heat wave. I'd go and wet a line on a local lake if I didn't need a saw to cut through the ice, lol....

Hey glad your back!!! Lets have a Great Year!!!

Told ya they were thick!

Where can I get an outrigger like you have??

🤘🏻😎🤘🏻😊

My god let him sleep already..lol

Now, Rocky Raccoon, he fell back in his room Only to find Gideon's Bible (oh, dou-dou-dou) Gideon checked out, and he left it, no doubt (ooh Rocky, ooh) To help with good Rocky's revival, aah Yeah, yeah...
