And People Think I Am Crazy + Sharks Will Pay

[@dalton9493]

wow the elusive sea hobo nice find

[@bobyrd4386]

Dalton lmao!! I still don't understand what the fuck he was doing.

[@dalton9493]

Byrdman 51/50 me neither people from FL are fucking weird

[@RikkiTikkiTavi290]

He was going from upper or mid keys to Key West by sea instead of land because he is a hobo living on a raft with no money.

[@724riff]

lmfao sea hobo you know there was some dope involved with that dude and the bike . living in FL you can bet you see and meet all kinds from every walk of life and it isn't always cool .

[@davethedebrouillard6407]

We actually call them Obos, it's short for ocean going hobos.

[@OldManTheseDays]

This dude just seems cool. Like the kind of guy you’d want to hang out with.

[@neubianx]

I'm not sure what to think about the hippie bicycle boat guy, except that if someone needed to buy some weed, he's the one to ask.

[@bawanadon1177]

He's got all the seaweed you'll need.

[@kamikazeyamamoto4545]

He probably smokes seaweed. When you're high like him, weed is weed.

[@pauljones364]

He was a 👻.

[@hanoitripper1809]

U can give him a fish for weed

[@MakoTheFrog]

good on that guy, he is living, a true adventurer! he did sound high af though, maybe he thinks he is in the bathtub...

[@faceblub]

high af was mine first impression aswell

[@chaplaincrabtree6881]

Honestly folks, rolling around in calm seas smoking grass is a lot of fun. Until shit turns sideways and it's not all fun and games anymore.

[@Spudwellington]

sobers you up real quick

[@MrTigerlore]

😂

[@7ThrillFishing]

billy bob do tell! Haha sounds like you got some stories

[@joecastillo1983]

you are a lucky man to fish that beautiful body of water

[@joshuastewart7423]

I love how your trying to keep it pg. I fly fish for trout in my kayak and when I lose one I cuss so much. My hat is tipped to you for keeping in.

[@jeffheffner6196]

Glad to hear you talk about the clear water. I'll be in the keys in May, I can only hope for CLEAR water! Thanks Steve

[@superbruce4085]

This guy is living homeless on the sea!!...what an absolute great guy!

[@yodatoga1359]

You should make checking that place for washed up loot a weekly video. I actually LOVED watching the treasure hunting. could be an awesome series!

[@davidwolter5786]

Don't talk to strangers especially strange strangers. The sharks are safer.

[@jqmes9489]

I love how the video felt like a part 2! Awesome video, its nice to see the tropical weather when it is 30 degrees in New York.

[@RikkiTikkiTavi290]

Steve, I'm all for targeting sharks for fun, but you really have to start using heavier mono and wire if you plan on fishing for them exclusively. Not so cool to just leave the hooks and line trailing one around for months when the leader sections clearly aren't heavy enough. Should be tarpon class at least and probably even heavier since blacktips and spinners frequently wrap the line around themselves when jumping. Have had them snap 300lb mono before on a jump. Not trying to be too critical, but sharks already get a raw enough deal and all the viewers should be shown how to have fun without leaving countless hooks in fish they never had a chance of landing.

[@RikkiTikkiTavi290]

I realize it's a bit more expensive and that you have to think about safety threshold because you're on a yak, but snapping off shark after shark rubs me the wrong way. A big offshore style dehooker rod would help a lot with the safety aspect.

[@tesilential]

The hooks rust out in a day or two. I caught a 38" snook with a brand new hook and leader in it mouth, must have been hooked that day or the previous. I removed the hook and leader and kept as a memento but it rusted literally 2 days later and crumbled away.

[@RikkiTikkiTavi290]

Hooks DO NOT rust out in a day or two. That is a gross misconception by many anglers. Steve himself did a video on that and if i remember correctly, at several months time the hooks were still intact. It takes months for hooks to rust out. In addition, the bigger the hook the longer it takes. I used to shark fish almost exclusively from the beach where I live and would use at least a 10/0 circle hook, # 9 wire+, and 5-10 feet of 200lb+ mono. Only had one monster bull swallow a hook, and broke off maybe 3-4 fish.

[@brisbxng-7501]

Easy to catch a shark on a proper setup, takes more skill to land on something alot lighter. That's just me

[@Haneix1]

Or if hes not willing to buy heavier line get hooks that biodegrade quickly.

[@infraredxray]

Steve, you have to do everything that everyone in every comment says RIGHT NOW drop what you're doing and listen to them!

[@abefrohman1759]

Miles from shore Steve makes a new friend. 👍

[@deka360]

abe frohman That guy didn't want to be bothered, a brain damaged child could see that.

[@pauljones364]

That guy was a 👻.

[@bricoley]

abe frohman right!

[@kevinlyjames]

proud of you for not swearing.

[@smokenjoe4022]

Dude you got mugged you were lucky to take your poles home with you! We havin some fun now ain't we!! Great shot of the one tarpon that went crazy on top just before he mugged you!👍

[@_paige_me8037]

I have prob seen 4 of your videos today alone. Im def binge watching this amazing art of yours.

[@guy612006]

Great vid, I miss the days of kayaking the channel and mud keys in search of juvenile tarpon in late February.

[@justinm.3594]

There is no other channel like your man! Keep doing your thing and I'll keep watching.

[@dezzahayes6492]

What a goose you are!

[@bigshirley3141]

Dang it!!! Dang it !!! Dang it!!!!

[@24knts]

LOL

[@Mr.Potato420]

DANG IT!!!!!!!

[@GoldenShaolinNutz]

Regardless of all the Dang it! and mishaps. That day looked like a lot of fun! Living the Life Brother! Ty for the upload of a wonderful day in my opinion. Fun Times!

[@alay13]

“I started in Big Pine”... That’s all the explanation you need right there. Piners...

[@DarkStarSushi]

I like how you named your takeout friend "Ducky"! I am moving to the lower Keys from the Colorado/Utah border. We call inflatable kayaks Duckies. And they are awesome in Rapids and running down current. And eddying out. And we ride bikes. I wouldn't be surprised, if that guy in the 5-6 minute section was from my neck of the woods. I am in Salina, Kansas, en route!

[@smalltownbigvlogs577]

Landlocked Angler cool that's where I live at is in Salina ks

[@lejonleonard5623]

There you go!!!now you're talking tarpon rigs for sharks!

[@thegreg79]

Man, I really like your videos. Thanks for sharing these adventures with us all!!!

[@MrRick-ud5re]

Awesome, sir. Fish stories and great entertainment. I've had them get away too.

[@tedjackson5272]

Say it with me "Dang it! Dang it!"

[@forwarddrive4066]

Thanks for posting & sharing your time on the water, your videos are very enjoyable and learning something every time you upload one. Thanks for what you do.👍👏✌

[@juanmoardrink7684]

Next video - how to catch and cook duck! Great videos Mr Steve, hoping to start kayak fishing soon when the weather is right. 👍

[@majorchaos7932]

A true fisherman... Not always a perfect day out just like the rest of us. Great vid and glad I found your channel... Have an awesome day!

[@mrs.chandler9384]

My mama always said "when an Asian cries, a railroad gets built"

[@jmack56]

DAMN!! Almost had a HUGE one... man. That was fun to watch. Thanks man.

[@SuperReasonable]

Still another beeeaaautiful day in the Florida Keys... Go for it Steve!

[@larryrich327]

Hey man that's tarpon fishing if you get a good jump out of them you've done good , the skill is getting them to take the bait everything after that is gravy , WELL DONE NICE JOB 🖖

[@growlikethewind5788]

Hippie boatjacked a cuban rafter...

[@reloadwrecks]

grow like the wind 😂😂😂😂

[@pats4dawin106]

was up dude!! your the dude that saved that lizard. livin life to the fullest.

[@constantawareness4854]

Cool kayak set up, just got a small one today going out in the morning

[@hummer4u2nv11]

Well...you DEFINITELY got the chance to test that new drag! Even though you were losing the fish, you were getting BIG fish. Yep, that guy with the raft was very unique...it sounded like he told you he had a 25hp motor...(?) Looks like you replaced that drag just in time to exchange this battle between you and the sharks :-) Use those bigger mullet.

[@dezzahayes6492]

Shut the fuck up

[@rendezvous5784]

DANG IT! Missed a couple of nice fish, but things turned out just ducky at the end... lol Great video!

[@floridaflyfishing3457]

I know what to say..... DANG IT!!!

[@samperrin1704]

Enjoyed the video, subscribed. Would love to see more of this stuff.

[@flagal6053]

I thought you were going to give cute Ducky one of your mullets. May not have been a good day of fishing but seeing that makeshift float with a bicycle...humbling.

[@kevinsandells9933]

Looks like the clamppets are moving in. Lol

[@donaldstorm4959]

That's amazing your anchors still there that's good news!!

[@JosephPark]

The boat bike guy is probably just doing drugs

[@patlowney2834]

Joseph Park could be doing that. Less chance of getting arrested while floating out on a boat doing it.

[@RS-pe9wn]

Totally

[@account4345]

Pat Lowney More chance of drowning lol

[@Blanden888]

At least you caught a mullet. Looks like fun!

[@floridajetskifishing2073]

I subscribe because of your humility in defeat. FISH ON, BROTHER!

[@eastalawest1633]

More like fish off ;)

[@brucegreen8463]

Great fishing bro, man that kayak fishing is so awesome 👏!

[@BOAExplore]

Man that was huge. I hooked on to a giant tiger a free months ago. Snapped my 100lb wire leader.. Love your vids.

[@chronicawareness9986]

ive herd of homless people floating out on rafts doing CRAZY SHIT this is proof... dunno if hes homless but its crazy as fuck

[@kylecampbell2685]

@Key West Kayak Fishing Me and my family are coming down to Gieger key in a few weeks has the water been clear at all?

[@dodecom]

Is that the boat ramp next to Geiger key marina?

[@retiredguyadventures6211]

I gotta get back to the Keys. Haven't been down there in 3/4 years now. Hopefully BPKFL will at least be open for tenters by spring...

[@TheSkinnymike69]

Best fishing vid I've seen in a while that's keeping it real

[@LiamJProduction]

Maybe use a 3-4 foot wire leader

[@MrRick-ud5re]

Awesome sir. Fish stories. Great entertainment.

[@CBreezyFishing]

I have a question why dont you just use about a 3ft leader?

[@heperez3966]

Love the videos Steve. I hope to see you in my travels in Key West.

[@norse7god]

Good action there, sorry you didn’t bring it in, next time. Good fishing.

[@heathschwab]

Maybe lost them but hey had fun and meet a guy with a bike out in the wide open lol. Hope you had a great next day. God bless

[@cocoloco2179]

Heavy 10' leader to avoid those tail cuts...great video as usual.

[@damianowens5066]

Love your videos they always make me smile, my favorite was definitely the iguana 4 miles out one, keep up the great work and tight line's 🎣👍😁

[@mikewinans8929]

That guy was awesome! And I love it how you always keep your language pg rated lol

[@jackpolmann6159]

mike winans...must not have been here very long lol. Steve has his moments rather frequently

[@peteryeung111]

Love your narrations and great personality. Keep growing the channel dude. Cheers!

[@DSbaitslingers]

Nice boat. When I shark fish I use 80 lbs suffix 832 with a steel leader. Seems to do the trick

[@joem5406]

are you using steel leader? plus I would stop using mono line and get some rip cord or something.

[@ppinchera8225]

pondering the guy on the water . . . I remember something Al Einstein said . .or was it Bert ? : " If at first the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it."

[@cantbeatthebay4765]

that guy is like "man this acid is way too strong.."

[@hogfish3881]

Had same kind of fishing this Sunday, sharks and jacks breaking line all day long. On the golf side, next to jewfish basin

[@DanSanChannel]

I couldn't hear. What that guy was doing out there with the bike?

[@BurninatorTheTrogdor]

Would braid have helped? I'm a spearo so just curious. It seems like everyone is using it over mono.

[@eriklarson9137]

When I get that mad, I say ALL THE DANGITS!!

[@dannyb6968]

Great video man. Please keep em coming..

[@MikaelTheRedeemed]

what are those pedals for?

[@lorenkrug]

Dude... over engineer your rigs... we want you to touch the Monsters

[@InshoreChaos]

Hey, if I were to take a trip down to the Keys, would you think we would be able to go fishing together?

[@mrwirelessmiami4066]

what line do u use

[@AhnkoCheeOutdoors]

Aloha Steve, Dang it x 7! I'll take exciting fails over boring success any day! Any plans on mounting a bicycle on your Hobie?

[@Rick_Sanchez_C137_]

Need to one up that hobo; add an upstairs seating area with wet bar and a beach umbrella to keep you and the gear shaded........ Bring duckie a baitfish....

[@724riff]

great dang video , and you know the fishing is good and bad when you hear UT OHH and DANG IT DANG IT DANG IT in the same sentence

[@snookcatcher1]

Really enjoying the videos!!! You are doing something that many of us are just dreaming to do! Great job!!! If it helps, when I'm sharking with my spinning real I tie on a 10+ foot castable shock leader (at least 100# test, FG knot) that may help with the break offs. I bet you are getting tail whip on your line. Keep up the great work and the great vids. Love them!!!

[@stanlee1857]

Awesome always running into something

[@ItzRetz]

You should buy a hook remover tool for all of these sharks, would make things a whole lot easier

[@eriklarson9137]

Steve is not about easy.

[@kenni411]

that was sick Steve 9:38 damn shark

[@JoseOrtega-xs4sb]

Does anyone know where I can get that Inflatable boat that the other guy with the bike had?? I freaking want that that thing!!!!

[@in4bliss]

Awesome video! Can't believe that guy was just drifting along! Wow, lol when do you see that? Ever?! Nope, only here on your channel!!! That last one was huge! Was it a tarpon or a shark? Jumped like a tarpon but looked like a shark!

[@ryangorczycki7563]

@keywestkayakfishing have you ever tried fishing mallory square or simonton beach?

[@pauljones364]

That guy on the raft with the bike, should convert the bike into a pedal and paddle system.

[@israelrodriguez6986]

Man I could not be on that thing, it seems too crowded. I'd go nuts with such a small amount of space for my person.

[@donaldstorm4959]

Call the duck is greeting you it's so strange to see that guy floating around on that boat he said he had no engine I would be freaking panicking that's kind of scary!!! Especially coming all the way down from Big Pine that's past where my sister lives she's on Summerland it's so weird he just expects to blow ashore and now he's going to be out there in the dark that guy frightening!!!

[@djtechinics97dj37]

those floating hobos are twice as fun to find at night. They just pop up out of nowhere lol. for some strange reason they all sound like Tommy Chong.

[@SomeJustice19k]

Man the current looks like it was RUSHING. How do you keep from washing out to sea? I didn't see you drop anchor.

[@ramirojuarez7379]

Steve let me tell you, the content you've been pumping out lately is fucking sick! I leave for a week and I see some dope footage binge watching your channel. Keep it up man I love the content, it reminds me of exactly what happens when I go fishing it feels like I'm fishing with you.

[@KayakChris]

Dang it! Fun video. I really enjoyed it. Liked!

[@daneg8773]

He'd be going down as a shark was eating him " with his giggle saying " dang it these sharks keep bothering me " I don't understand this human . I believe he lacks fear

[@h8yurFACE]

Actually made me laugh. What kind of contraption was that guy in wholly molli lol

[@Darreninnyc]

Another cool video Steve.thx

[@TheDudesSon777]

THAT REMINDED ME OF WATER WORLD THE MOVIE LOL @ 4:20

[@c0braZ602]

hopefully u get something what u want! from NC

[@MadSocial]

I can't believe people aren't outside. How sad! I'd be out there everyday. 😎

[@btucke73]

I saw your rig driving down Roosevelt yesterday. I knew you were up to no good...

[@Fishingchanneltv]

cruising around ? that guy is crazy lol
