42 Freeman Catamaran vs 6-8 foot waves! Dolphinfish Catch clean Cook

In this video we head offshore in 20-25 knots winds to try to catch a swordfish. Unfortunately we only hook one swordfish and it gets away, but we do catch some mahi in the rough weather! We also plenty of the 42' Freeman running in the big seas! Back at home we cook the fish up for a nice dinner!

Had the pleasure of knowing Billy Freeman Sr, he was so proud of his son after that Miami boat show. Freeman boat works deserves everything they've earned.

[@surfersteve79]

Nick I really enjoy you making content like this showing real life & real world situations. Mechanical issues and weather are never talked enough about on fishing channels or shows. Swordfishing is tough enough when you add rough conditions like you were in the odds landing one are slim. Glad you kept positive vibes the whole way!

Man I've never been seasick in my life but that time laps was getting to me! Lol . Pretty ruff but no water over the back, looks like a great Hull. I live two or three Hrs. north of you and I wouldn't have been out there, not in my boat anyway!

[@fishonwithjp]

[@matthewt.goodness7196]

I'd make a mesh barrel to put around the float to keep foam from getting under it 🤙

Generally speaking people who say 6-8ft seas get called out for BS! Those were DEFINITELY some big ass seas. Some I'd say were bigger than 6-8. I wanted to throw up sitting at my desk - Great job!

[@StanzFam]

Thanks! Definitely a few bigger ones in the mix.

[@tonypinckney5957]

I would rethink that steel grill brush! That's a great way to have someone ingest a steel bristle! (would hate for that to happen to the baby)

[@ronaldingleby8158]

Mahi tip....leave your first catch in the water alongside your boat...the whole herd comes looking for food. Uses barb less hooks to catch the herd.

[@paulw4924]

6-8?!? Some of those look 10-12!! Great video again Nick!!

[@StanzFam]

No doubt! Videos usually don’t do the wave height Justice but figured this one did when the waves were breaking into a 42’ freeman when fishing . Thanks for watching

[@mikeguedes1138]

9:20 "good job for a 27 year old .. that looks 40 " this cracked me up !!

[@jpharned3291]

Yep I remember those late spring wind furries and no keeper anything’s until we would make it past anclote island

[@jpharned3291]

Beat to death and soaking wet we would save the day with some specks and reds or a Spanish . Then again my boat was 19’ and it was the Gulf of Mexico and it wasn’t a charter either

[@C_Dizzle]

Footage of the ride home from a second boat or drone would’ve been beautiful!

[@kenb.8596]

Yup, not a day for me anymore defiantly some 10's in the mix, would have been a meal @ the local steak joint till mother nature got back to being nice!! Freeman or no Freeman..

[@jimquantic]

I talked to a guy with a similar hull, he said it was great--until it wasn't. That, at a certain point, it went WAY up and almost went over, then slammed down so hard it jarred his teeth. He felt in horrible weather he would prefer a mono hull, that rolls easier, but would go over--harder in the rough. I don't know, I only know when I fished on a cat like yours, it was the coolest riding--and fishing hull I've ever been on. HUGE deck and easy access. Thanks for posting--it actually looked like a beautiful day on the ocean to me--rough and all.

[@airick4038]

Cats are a really rough ride when you are going into a sizable head sea. It's their biggest flaw unfortunately.

[@Abebe345]

@@airick4038 Trimarans may be the future. Best of both worlds. Though expensive and big.

[@StanzFam]

Every Hull has its advantages but also has its drawbacks. The cat out preforms mono hulls in most sea conditions. Also the fishability and comfort is much better.

[@notaliberalfromcali6245]

@@StanzFam I'll stick with a 68 Viking. Smoke that Freeman.

That rough water is the biggest reason I retired this year after 42 years my back is shot. Now that I'm retired I only go in calm water. But it's fun watching you do it. Ha

[@StanzFam]

It definitely takes a toll on the body. Congrats on your retirement!

[@Art_Vandelay_]

Awesome. Thanks for the support 🙌🏻

[@fredfrederick5607]

There are many speeds other than full throttle. If you back off a little in rough weather you can preserve your boat and your spine.

[@Evan721sxm]

stanz, would a big 96" trolling motor help when swording? it doesnt have to spot lock and hold you in position but it could slow your drift and keep your bow into the waves right? ive seen it hold a 37 freeman, im sure it would slow your drift by 50 to 75% at moderate throttle, less rocking side to side also.

[@StanzFam]

I think In certain sea conditions it could definitely work or atleast help

[@BloodCover]

“The Scale Sizzler” new grille name

[@alquinn3562]

Some serious rodeoing there on the way home. I’ll bet those shock absorbers in the seats were welcome.

[@armondogarcia7532]

Are the batteries low on the sea keeper lol or is it on a break?? I would think a boat like that would have one I'm sure it does

[@jameswilliams-fr2tp]

Okay nick what is the roughest you have ever went out fishing or got caught out in

[@benjaminallen2370]

Dang thats windy stuff

[@Abebe345]

We had 23 foot seas yesterday off the New England coast. Guess that's a non starter for anything not a big ship.

[@aquaticaddictions9902]

Have you looked into one of those Gyros you can get for boats these days which stop them rocking around in seas like this, not cheap but maybe something to look into

[@Tyler-kw9ce]

Nowhere to put a SeaKeeper Gyro in a catamaran.

[@A.Matt7]

Just imagine a sea keeper on this.

[@kennethjmurphy3364]

Looks like you got a bunch of big guys who don't want to be bothered to help or move.

[@ebglock]

Much rougher ride than I was expecting. Captains 42 v appears much smoother.

[@StanzFam]

We were the only boat out there swordfishing that day 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@rising-phoenix3857]

Does that hurt the boat ?

[@fhernandez07]

Get ULTRA Safety Bilge Pumpswitches and you’ll never get a stuck float switch again. Freeman handling those 8 footers like a boss.

[@StanzFam]

We have the ultra switches in the after lazzette boxes. I’ve had those get stuck and go bad as well.
