Hey Bama, my daughter CC and I love watching your fishing adventures. We also really enjoy your catch clean and cook. Keep up the great work!

[@BamaSaltwater]

Thank ya'll!! God Bless!

[@jackashcraft3965]

I'm a dedicated fisherman myself and your tips and tricks are awesome. I would absolutely love to fish with you one day. I don't get out on a boat very often but I fish Navarre Beach Pier and kayak fish in the Gulf when I can and the drop jigging on the kayak has been very productive. Fish on my friend

[@cross9494]

One of the best ( if not the best) fishing channels on you tube!!!! Now I'm hungry!!!

[@jerryguillory5728]

Man I just want to thank you for sharing this video, I’m a pastor living in North east Louisiana I use to live down south New Orleans area miss catching those red snappers and Jacks brought back a lot of memories, never caught a dolphin loved the grilling and the way you cook and ate it with your mom, lost my mom about 16 years ago enjoy your mom as much as you can for me, been following you now for quite some time really appreciate and enjoy your videos, thanks a lot

[@07bently]

Beautiful day with clear skies love seeing schools of minnows in the water its a sign of a healthy sea. The big fish were out and you had a big one on the line and the shark that took your fish and rapala had to be a monster! Its ok losing a fish is nothing its just a lucky fish, beautiful dorado or mahi and that toast you made to me is a great combination that or same bread made as garlic bread but don't tell anyone.. Great adventure

[@ErinLogan-gs5ki]

That looks really good! Nice job on the catch, clean and cook❤

[@dankenny4881]

Love your channel, you explain everything and it's my favorite channel, I can watch this and never get bored, awesome you have mom on as well. Keep it up, always look forward to your posts.

[@Adam-yb2ei]

Man what a crazy day of fishing you had. End of the day, you got a good catch. Great vid man

[@user-uu6ek7gz5x]

I love your content always brightens my day

[@samssoniv]

It has been such a treat watching your content man Thanks Steve. I live in Minnesota now but grew up on the Gulf and miss the water so much.. God Bless you and family!

[@tgreeniii]

Wow! Never seen you break a rod before! Glad I"m not the only one! :-D

[@robertartiaga7070]

Really enjoy your channel…Catch, Clean, Cook and LEARN! Awesome, thank you!

[@tomnorman2668]

Great video! Thanks Capt.

[@andrewwillis4911]

Jack's put on a real good whoppin! Appreciate the sharing, and the busted rod from bottom.

[@evansmith9016]

Great video. Really shows who you are as a person by the way you reacted after that lost wahoo. You always stay in the positive. Keep the lines tight and the videos coming!

[@BigSteelerFan]

When you post it makes my day

[@delawareteacher1182]

Great video, and to see your proud mother!

[@agould53]

That is one beautiful dish Nate, excellent job.

[@robertrio632]

Can't really complain about the rod, it wasn't built to reel in the planet earth.

[@BamaSaltwater]

Eh, true true.

[@goodcitizen64]

Great video Army brother! Tight lines!!

[@thomascrawford114]

Great video as always!!! That was an expensive day for sure!!! Tight Lines!!!

Another awesome video ❤ Boy, that Mahi Mahi looked delicious. Thank you for sharing.

Can’t wait to watch!!

Awesome video as always bro

[@kimbersal1]

Yay! First again!!! God Bless you and your family, Stephen

[@garyjackson355]

Great job Bama

[@rickemily7075]

Based on your recommendations in the past, I bought my 1st 7'6" St.Croix medium action spinning and a 7' medium heavy fast Star Plasma. Now when I recover from that I will look at reels for them.

[@Levi_Rodriguez]

I just love your channel

[@OTHG6v]

So gooooood!

[@roypeavy3542]

Great video 👍👍

[@pierrerossouw7035]

First video that I've seen a rod actually break... Still appreciate the videos. Keep it up 💪🏻

[@cselphenator]

What a great video! Those AJs are back breaking! I’m going to Tampa soon and try for some snook!

[@turkeybird7679]

That was a helluva piece of quality equipment you had there........RIP....at the bottom of the ocean!!

[@nicolalagonigro1155]

The roe is delicious floured and fried up in bacon grease!

[@fredviener6041]

I would love to live on the water like that Its a beautiful view.

[@jerryf581]

I was already wishing I could've been fishing with then you go and mention blackened Mahi with a side of gumbo.........DANGIT MAN!!!!!!!!!! I might need a bib!

[@gaming-Odyssey1]

I love your vids alot

[@codyreece7871]

Those dolfin fish are awesome

[@MrEmersombiguns2002]

Great Day for sure to see ocear that calm that far out...Good eating...and see got mom over to eat!!+++

Looks Delicious Bro!

[@jamesdempsey8811]

[@johnneyabbott]

Gong to be back down there in gulf shores on may 22 for the week! And you’re right, it’s beautiful down there for sure

[@Harleygoesgym]

Ayyy Stephon you never fail to disappoint in these vids man thank you for always delivering!!!

[@jorgeposadas1192]

Love the video

[@bobk.1428]

Great video Sir!

[@BamaSaltwater]

Thank yA !

[@contracabal]

I suggest a Beckman Coated landing net. They have huge sizes and the handle hoop and yoke are all made of strong aluminum.

[@elijahbl5745]

70 lb AJ almost spooled my 4/0 senator lol, that thing ran like wild, man I had a powerful setup, 300 yards 100 lb braid to some 80 mono on top, 130 lb leader and a real nice rod, I wanna try to get one on my spinners now

[@pcs56]

Thank you for your service. Love your channel! Where all did you serve? Thanks, from a fellow vet.

[@salt-team-six5883]

hate you missed your hoo. but good to see cooking show

[@chunkykoala9832]

just in time for lunch

[@johnbaummer5748]

Boy, that looked like an expensive day! At least you had a mahi redemption.

[@allenpeduto2895]

I guess nobody told those jacks ...that you don't give up either!!!!!😄😄😄😊🦀

[@EweCantHandletheTruth]

Can I request that when you get to your jigging location, you set up a camera that captures whatever is happening underneath your boat so we can maybe get a glimpse of those fish that get sharked?

[@ocularpressure4558]

Awe yes perfect idea 💡 my man I sir second that idea bama 🎉

[@Rockers1121]

This is a cool idea

[@jorgeposadas1192]

Hell yeah!!!

[@johnphillips2252]

I may use that idea next time we go out! Sharks can be a problem in the part of the gulf we are in also. Keep up the good work and have your buddy practice on those gaff skills😂

[@jackshreffler8526]

Dude wanna go fishing with ya! Awesome channel!!

[@jackiebishop9574]

What happen to my invitation to Bama Maui, Maui dinner party? Please tell me you did not forget? Awesome video, nice fishing!! P.S what wine was being served at the party....😄

[@riverakers]

Hate to see a Wahoo miss!

[@jasongaddy7418]

You passed my fathers house to get to boat ramp. Love that area, but living in Savannah area I like Atlantic fishing almost as well as that. But you guys get deeper much quicker

[@andreaspinola417]

I love how calm you were when you broke your rod 😭😭😭

[@scottweidner1613]

Great video Stephen 👍👍Those are my 2 favorite seasonings. I buy a years supply if each every april when we come down from PA. Gotta love some good gumbo. In your opinion where do you go for the best gumbo in the GS OB area?

[@2Jim2u]

good video.

[@lisamak7288]

Oh Stephen that hurt! Really excited to see you "almost" get that Wahoo. Poor old Malik and his gaffing - he's had some trouble with that we've seen in previous videos. Next time!

[@BamaSaltwater]

IKR, thank you!

[@billsmith1355]

Love the channel and your enthusiasm!! Quick question - why were you tying the leader to the portion of the jig with the hooks (in first jig you used)? Thanks.

[@BamaSaltwater]

I tie my leader to the "eye" side of the jig and tie it to the solid ring! Makes the action more "natural" per se

[@eddyballester8990]

Another great show Bama, thanks! You placed your tackle to the test with those AJs, impressive. I appreciate y’all keeping it real and showing you missing that wahoo at the boat, it happens. Confident y’all make it up quick! That magi looked great. Thanks again for sharing with us. Looking forward to viewing your next show. Regards

[@happymethehappyone8300]

The big thing/trend when i was younger was Dolphin/Mahi-Mahi Steaks,, But ive never seen you do steaks,, So i guess the trend is over. 🤪

[@ducttapeandwrenches]

5:08 you're a better man than me...i would've been pretty upset 😅

[@carmenjaniratarafacortes7405]

Wow

[@williammathews6603]

lol damn son, light tackle +200ft. , nope! aj's hangry fish ,go big or go home..ya big gear oh yes baby..this was a good vid,keepon briging em brother!stay safe..godbless!

Nice

[@albertmccaig3418]

More PT there, Troop!

[@BamaSaltwater]

[@jackiebishop9574]

Can you answer a question, when you caught the Wahoo why did you not stop the boat to reel in the fish and gaff it?

[@HookedOnBama]

When you hook a fish while trolling your hooks will often wallow out a hole where the hook is and if you were to stop it would take away the pressure that is keeping the hook in place. Usually you want to stay at the same speed as when you were trolling to prevent losing the fish hope this helped.

[@jackiebishop9574]

@@HookedOnBama Thank you very much for the answer. You can not learn unless you ask question. 😁

We live in daphne me you and my son should go fishing sometime

[@thegoldentrashbag10]

Any way I could go fishing with you? Always have been down there trying to catch a pelagic fish in the gulf such as mahi tuna or wahoo 🎣

[@captjack5090]

in Texas we just all them dorados

[@dadeo8957]

Nothing fights like AJs do.

[@MRMIKE276]

When that rod snapped I literally gasped 🤣. If my slow pitch rod snapped I'd be pissed lol

[@BamaSaltwater]

I honestly didnt comprehend what had just happened lol

[@1hotahi964]

When rods get slammed/tossed around on the deck like that broken rods are a matter of time!

[@smellvin724]

i was not expecting that rod snap 🥲

[@BamaSaltwater]

same here lol

[@goodman4773]

Show us your gumbo recipe some time

[@mnemec]

RIP to the jigging rod, missed Wahoo may have hurt a bit more. Way to stay positive and take the Mahi consolation!

[@BamaSaltwater]

The missed Wahoo was heart breaking considering it was Human error haha. Buttt at least we didnt come back empty

[@kimbersal1]

How does your hand injury affect your knot tying? I had two nerve surgeries on my right hand, leaving it partially paralyzed. It takes me a solid few minutes to tie most knots, except for the Palomar, which thankfully works for most situations.

[@BamaSaltwater]

Knot tying for the most part is fine, its the grip strength that gets me

[@mikesabran]

Hi Steve: Great video love the Catch,Clean,Cook,and Eat, type of video, however aren't. you a little concerned about 65 miles offshore on a single engine?? I loved the video keep them coming.

[@BamaSaltwater]

Thanks! And all the "what could go wrong" is out of my hands mechanical/electrical wise. It's always a risk and backup communication and float plans are a must! thanks for watching ! Happy to share!

[@jasonhenson4711]

What reel were you using on the jigging rod? That fish cleaning setup for the tailgate is pretty slick also!

[@BamaSaltwater]

thanks ! I love it and a Shimano Tranx 300

[@samuelhunley7540]

You were way calmer than i would have been when that rod broke

[@BamaSaltwater]

I was just surprised lol

[@shyman9023]

Hi, Steven, new subscriber, but have been watching your vids for a while now. I am looking to retire soon and wanted to ask your opinion on location. I am looking at Alabama or the Florida panhandle. Really like the area around Carrabelle and or Oyster Bay, but the Mobile area is nice too. Many things to consider. I have a twenty-foot Excell CC bay boat with a Tohatsu 115 and was thinking the winds might be milder around the Oyster Bay area. Let me know what you think.

[@mikecampingforfun5226]

Hey Steve, what time is dinner? Lol

[@shaina6184]

Hey Stephen have the winds been as strong there as they’ve been in Texas?? I bought my first boat about a month ago and every week we’ve had 30-40 mph winds every weekend since.

[@BamaSaltwater]

It's been terrible !

[@jb2257]

I see the new Costas brother ;)

[@BamaSaltwater]

Haha, wish they were new, I've had em 3 years but they are my back up pair when my main pair needs fixed / thanks!

[@user-op1hs2kh4m]

Great video. I spoke to you a few days ago in regard to coming to AL opening weekend of snapper and running out to the Petronis. We are staying in or around Gulf Shores. Is there a Marina you recommend where I could dock the boat? Is there a way I could communicate with you other than here? Maybe VIA an email?

[@ZaviaaDHagwood]

Wow your a very cool fisherman

[@stephenedavis7]

I did that in the middle of a tournament was the biggest tournaments I ever fished. We just rolled up on our fishing spot and I broke my pole setting the hoo, It was a trotline instead of a fish. I finished the entire day a rod down and that was bad. I'm sure you know. I'm trying to catch up with your videos. I've been out of action.

[@LivingLifeOurWay365]

That's what we call the classic high stick my friend. I know you didn't possibly mean too because you thought it was a fish, but you could of bumped the rod on a sharp edge not realizing it happened and that high stick just did you in. Who knows though sorry it happened though.

[@GAFisherman]

Regardless of the weather and sea conditions, please never go off shore alone. Chit happens! Hope you've heard about a guy that went off shore trolling out of the Carolinas, I believe. He never returned. His boat has been found but he wasn't in it.

[@BamaSaltwater]

Unfortunately ... and it's definitely not a place to take lightly

[@dobby9041]

i wasnt evel looking at the vid when that rod broke but I hear that sound I was was just like deep inhale that didn't sound good

[@tonytran3830]

When can a fan fish with you????

That was an expensive day! A jig, a rod, and a Rapala! You were a lot calmer losing that Hoo than we are on our boat! Kudos to shrugging it off without an expletive laden paragraph after! Way to recover and bring home a nice dolphin! Love showing using the Blackstone! Honestly hadn’t thought of that for fish but next time I get some I’ll be throwing them down on the ole flat top! Love the content and the channel Stephen! Thank you for taking us along with you on your fishing excursions and then showing us awesome ways to prepare catches! Tight lines!
