37 Freeman Running in ROUGH OCEAN! Plus Some Fishing!

Everybody wants to see how my 37 Freeman runs in rough water so here's a video! We had half a tank of fuel in the boat and pretty much a beam sea on the ride home. We also caught a pair of swordfish and a few mahi on the trip so enjoy some fishing action too!

Just so those who have not ever filmed out on the gulf or ocean, just in case you doubt the wave size or how rough that is, you can't see waves 2-3 feet or smaller on camera for some reason. At less than 3' it looks flat calm, so when he says 4-6', it might not appear that large on the video, but i assure you it is, because you can't see waves until they are 4+. Most people have never been out in 4-6' seas, and when they do, they call them 6-8 foot seas, becuase people dont' think about the fact that a 6' is over most heads when in its trough, so it's hard to judge wave size, but it's never usually as bad as some people say it was, but mainly i just wanted to share my experience with recording on the gulf and waves and how rough it has to be before it looks rough filming.

[@CornerCamper]

You know the boat is a beast when you can just autopilot your way through that at a good speed. Thanks for the video, was hoping you'd do one like this!

[@JLT3]

The introduction of the beanbag chair to boats was a game changer for long runs. Until boatbuilders can engineer some stow-able, low to the deck center of gravity, comfortable chairs…they are here to stay!

[@cameroneagle4370]

J T yeah I thought that was genius!..almost perfect for that situation

[@JLT3]

@@cameroneagle4370 we run from Cape Cod to the canyons in the summer so when you leave at 2am fish all day and head back when tide goes slack in the afternoon....everybody is ready to crash. Behind the second row and bait station & next to the helm when canvas is on are always the first places to get taken. 42 feet of open seating and those of the ALWAYS the premier spaces to snooze!

[@mnb5404]

You should do an episode about how you deal with seasick clients and stories about that...

[@alquinn3562]

Lol I’d be interested in hearing them although it might not be conducive to booking more trips. I’ve got a great one. I’m normally sympathetic as I’m the scuba diver known for chumming at depth🤢. Let’s just say a diva with the attitude to match, tossed cookies so hard she darn near went overboard. One of the crew hanging on to her now sagging bikini bottom was the only thing keeping her from being “one with the ocean” It still puts a smile on my face. Cruel huh?

[@DalonCole]

@@alquinn3562 should have let her go. No divas allowed

[@mnb5404]

I get seasick looking at someone reading a book about seasickness! Yet I love the ocean and spearfishing/scuba and fishing. My dive buddies just roll me into the water and I’m fine. Thus why I am interested

[@alquinn3562]

@@mnb5404 yep I’ve spent my time tied to a rope off the stern bobbing around trying to shake off the effects of sea sickness. Often wondering it it was therapeutic or whether the nick name shark bait means something else😂

This is a great promo for Freeman. Freeman is the dream boat. I love my World cat tho

we have a 27 world cat, great boat.

Everyday is the best day to go fishing is the answer

Trust me if they look bad on camera oh boy in person it is 5x worse shoutout to freeman for making such a fishing machine love the vids

Thanks! 👊🏻

The banana peel bite indicator is awesome! That Freeman was saying "Come on man, give me something hard to do!"

Love seeing that freeman running through chop! You should include more of that footage in all the videos!

Great boat for the seas and A1 captain behind the helm 👍🇧🇸

Capt. Nick, that’s more like, those slick calm days are for the candies. Like Me! Keep’m coming.

Awesome video. Best one yet on a boat handling the chop at speed. That's quite a machine. Enjoy it.

Good job brother the kids love it

[@jamiehoward1906]

That's one hell of a boat! Great fishing in such bad weather.

[@wdlfbio]

That is a terrific video showing a cat doing what we buy them for. We still go up and down and side to side, but we don’t get the same pounding and jarring as many monohulls. Set the autopilot and let her run.👍

[@besearchingforwisdom6267]

Nice ride! And it can change the fishing experience all together

[@patrickmoralesramon9577]

What a beast! I was always a fan of Catamarans. This shows why

[@jeffpierce3436]

Ah yes! The ultimate “wave destroyer” vs. the mighty “fish of swords”!! Great vid to end the year with, Nick👍

[@A.Matt7]

crispy sounds breaking through those waves

[@petealtman5621]

Freeman is a bad ass boat made in my home town Charleston

[@joeymuhleisen1759]

I think captain nick has his eye on a new freeman😜

[@Ck-lk1bd]

Happy new year to y'all and your families. Thank you to all medical and service men. Hope everyone's fishing is better than 2020.

[@shimboslice87]

Good for you. I been in a 20ft tidewater in worse still trying to fish. Got to catch them all!

[@arborfinancialservicesoffl7844]

Nice beam sea makes it easy when you head straight south to the grounds and the wind is out of the east!

[@edgewater210]

Happy New Year! Thanks for showing how the Freeman performed in a side-to, nasty sea. That type of sea is the dread of every fisherman when he has to turn for home! You were doing 30+ MPH in that stuff and able to narrate a video. Very impressive!

[@StanzFam]

Happy new year. Thanks for watching!

[@EdD-ym6le]

Good one . Ride reminded me of the old 35 Contender side console I fished , the Cary hull . We would drop the Eisen glass and motor thru the rough stuff .

[@tjjb9457]

I like how everyone gets to be the cure. Its more meaningful this way if you dont survive the wind. But at least hermits get to learn something. The foerest is simply not enough

[@treehugger4916]

I'm pretty impressed with that Freeman. I work as a mate on a 41' custom-built boat in Islamorada that weighs about 22 tonnes and even it wouldn't ride that smooth in that rough of water.

[@StanzFam]

It’s does really well , rides better than some sportfish boats I’ve been on

[@mikegggg222]

WINDY TODAY, ,,WAS ENJOYING ISLAMORADA TODAY FROM US1,,

great video....looks like some THT 15 footers...LOL

Haha yes!

[@tombrown7577]

I could picture me and my brother off Daytona years ago running in slop on a 25 Aquasport. Both of us covered in so much salt we woud be preserved forever. :-(

[@bluewater_1142]

It would have been awesome if you had another 33-37 ft mono hull center console , bean and another camera. I’d love to see split screen side by side “vlog style “ footage versus the cat. If you could recreate this one day but with a mono and bean , that’d be awesome.

[@benjigans1419]

@@kevinkelly4654 I totally get it, but I see promo videos from Grady all the time about their rough sea 'handling' and designed to run to the canyons. That's bad on Grady's part. You should be able to run home in a heavy sea in a 32-33 foot Carolina boat and at least get home without a broken backbone.

[@TheDavelectronic]

How far off are you there Stanzfam ? It looks some way out there... The turn of speed gets you in quick if it starts to blow up a gale. Here in the UK we fish full displacement hulls and ride it slow both in and out. Love watching you guys fishing, great channel. Keep making them.
