I TOSSED a LIVE! BAITFISH Under This FREIGHTER and Caught THIS! [Catch, Clean, Cook]

[@joeburns91]

Honestly watching you catch that cobia was amazing. You can tell you're such a good dude and your content is the best fishing content on YT.

[@gamergods2889]

It’s just the facts

[@BamaSaltwater]

I appreciate that for sure !

[@thecedarridgechronicles]

Agreed

[@drbravestone4017]

He also only keeps what he and his family are going to eat! If more fishermen can have this mindset, there will always be plenty for everyone.

[@funyunmaker3182]

That is a nice cobia I agree that is one of the best eating fish out there.

[@livelifetogivelife9462]

Bro! Perfect king and more perfect cobia!!!! I was SO worried about him dragging you back to that chain… I was yelling at you “MAN, GET HIM AWAY FROM THE SHIP!!!” Thank God for the level of success you had on this morning! Very nice

[@iktn132]

The amount I’ve learned about saltwater fishing from you is.. insane

[@BamaSaltwater]

That's so awesome to hear. I'm glad I can share my experiences!

[@isopod1490]

Honestly this is the best fishing channel out there! Love how you always include little tips and tricks and 'how to' methods. Helps some not-so seasoned fishers like myself!

[@patcheek7669]

Stephen, you are such a great fisherman, we love your videos. Speaking as a mother of sons, I think you learned everything you know from your Mom..keep the content coming. Love the area and Mobile Bay.

[@mailmusic]

You always have great content but you out did yourself with this one. The best ones yet. Thanks for all the ways to tie up for these fish. I have been wanting to go to the ships but I have never seen any wire tie techniques before. Keep up the great work!!!!

[@josephmurray4866]

He is wearing you out!

[@aaronroyalty9779]

First and foremost, thank you for your service! We love watching your videos. We love how informative you are, what you are using for tackle, how you tie your rigs up. You are a great teacher. Beautiful catch! Congratulations!

[@brandongouge]

I love that you put the bag limit and species in the video. No one else does that and I think it’s great!

[@racquet1111]

Over the past month I've been dreaming/planning/hoping for a day just like this one and so glad you shared it with us! I have a 23' center console and appreciate you sharing so many tips. Sharing the gear you use and the knots and everything else has been extremely useful and the fact you go offshore on your boat alone means that I can do it, too, with proper preparation and training and just taking it one step at a time. Thank You from a grateful subscriber who kept watching you because of the way you end each video... grateful to our creator for this wonderful inheritance!!

[@BamaSaltwater]

Yes! No need to be intimidated by the salt, just respect nature/weather, and always be prepared for the "worst case scenario". Good luck, Tight Lines, and God Bless.

My kids and i just love watching your channel and they love fishing and eating fish…also thanx for serving in the armed services…

[@richardrobinson601]

I’ve yet to get a Cobia but I’ve eating one with a friend who shared. I was tired from you wrestling that big fish in! Thanks for the show !

[@Rooster_Snuffer]

That big one looks like a cross between a walleye, a catfish and shark. Gorgeous fish, all of them. Bro you are a very fortunate man to be able to do what you do. Thank you for sharing this video with us. It was nice watching a video with ZERO cussing! Thank you for the ‘G’ rated content. I’m in Colorado and I am just getting back into fishing after a couple years off(been busy getting married having kids and then getting divorced) so I have been needing to get out and enjoy Gods beautiful creations and let nature help me heal. I wish I could go with you on a fishing adventure like that. You the man!

[@Fulcrum205]

Cobia are an evolutionary oddball. There aren't any other species in their family. The closest thing they are related to is remoras

[@glenngriffin1784]

The best Gulf and inshore fishing videos on KZbin right now. Perfect production and very interesting content as well as educational. I love catching and eating Cobia in Bama. Great job dude!

[@jcelcaballocaraballo5395]

Hands down Best KZbin fisherman

I absolutely love this episode! Today's episode has the best of everything I like about the channel. ty!

[@austinbeuttler4510]

I gotta tell ya, that's cool man! I don't see too many fishing videos where the weather is garbage. It kind of sets the adventurers mood. Really fun to watch! I appreciated it when you stopped fishing because you already caught enough to feed your family. You're a good man. I always only take what I need.

[@bobk.1428]

One of your best videos yet! Keep kickin KZbins butt!

[@BamaSaltwater]

Thank you man!

[@cozydram1]

that looked awesome...and great the fam enjoyed too.......thank you for bringing this too us.

[@harlydynamike49]

I love this guy; he brings back so many memories. He has so many tips for novices and us old guys. One thing I learned back in the early 70’s if you take a charter or friends you better use a stinger rig especially on Kings and Wahoo or you will come home and go to bed hungry. Thanks for keeping the sport going with class.

[@jackhunt5448]

Another amazing video. Thank you so much

Glad you caught a cobia. They are fun to catch and yes, great to eat. Me and my son have caught a few. He caught one 56.5 lbs

Outstanding! I have never even seen one of those Cobia... Nicely done.. edited.... watched this again after 5 months, still riveting footage! Loved it. Yours are the best fishing videos anywhere. Some day I would like to drive the 320 miles clear across Florida to meet you in person. Awesome fishing knowledge you have and share freely.

[@Duschbag]

Freshwater Bass Fisherman here. I honestly did not know that it would be so easy to hand tie a Haywire Twist with wire. I thought it would take at least some pliers to hold it as well as twist it but you did it so quickly. 👍 A Guide in the Keys taught me how to tie a Bimini Twist while fishing for Tarpon & Bonefish and I've used it for heavy Catfish but never wire. I enjoy your videos as soon as you post them. 🤙

Nice work! I love catching Cobia. I fish NE FL Atlantic waters. I've caught several less than a mile offshore following manta rays in April-May. They're anywhere from 1 mile offshore to 60 miles offshore here. About 12 years ago they were everywhere here but we've noticed a steep decline in their population recently. We aren't allowed to keep red snapper here, and they're literally everywhere. It's beyond frustrating. Keep up the good work! Love the channel and content!!

@13:20 Delicious fish... the crab eating shark, firm meat flavor is a cross between lobster and shrimp. @19:29 start your skin removal about a "steaks length" away from the tail end, so when you've removed the fillet, go back and slice off the end piece which is the size you cut the rest of the fillet into... just sayin'...
