[@happymethehappyone8300]

I really enjoy ALL your videos,, But it's extra special when you & Malik fish together,, Because you guys have a great friendship & enjoy each others company.

[@user-pr9hg1mh1d]

We ran into Bama Saltwater last week at J&M Tackle and he was the real deal. Extremely gracious, gave the kids some stickers, and an all around great guy. Keep doing what you love!!!!

[@BamaSaltwater]

Happy to *meet ya'll!!! I enjoy the positive feedback! Especially in person! Thank you

[@andrewrubio4794]

Hello Steve we really enjoy your program we think you're awesome keep up the good work man we love backyard fishing

[@YELLOWLEAF205]

I went to school,fished and hunted with John and Mike from J&M as well as Mark Russo from Sam's.

[@BamaSaltwater]

@@YELLOWLEAF205 Great people !!! You probably know our great friend Hal too!!

[@cay9coyote714]

I vote we teach Malik how to film and make him co-host of Bama Saltwater. Y’all have good energy. That and I’m boutta cross the MS/Bama line and come hook into some macks with you if you tempt me with another mackerel video like this, Steve!

[@CowdogArchie]

Best saltwater fishing channel. Thats it.

[@CowdogArchie]

My wife who doesn't fish will only watch Bama Saltwater fishing show if I'm on KZbin. She loves the and cooks. You have a non fishing fan.

[@Ananias03]

Always loved fishing the platforms in the Gulf. Nice day on the water for you fellas. As always i appreciate the content your're sharing. May your lines forever stay taught. 👍

[@BamaSaltwater]

Thank you!! Your's as well!!

[@tgkclan1885]

Hey Bama I love how you do your videos because we do the same type of fishing. Keep up the awesome videos, much love ❤❤❤

[@noahhb]

Went to Belize a few months ago and caught some Cuda and a few small tuna. Our guide kept it all and cooked it for us that night, and though I was nervous about eating the Cuda, he turned it into a delicious Caribbean style curry! Sometimes you just gotta trust the locals!

[@timolean5846]

I watched either South Florida Fishing or Florida Fishing Couple out with one of their friends they kept a cuda and made ceviche and it looked really good. Bluegabe was in Panama and they kept and ate cuda and so did Landshark definitely seems coming to keep in the central / South American people’s diets.

[@BamaSaltwater]

Yes!! It's in the plans to do a CCC on the Channel for one.

[@stevenmcadams6621]

Y’all slaying them juvie kings and some nice axehandles bro. 👍🏻🤙🏻

[@Carowindsxantonio]

He’s getting scarily consistent wish we could go out for alantic snapper season but conditions are horrendous

[@gcrauwels941]

Those were some big Spanish Mackerels. Appreciate you showing how you rig your tackle.

[@thomaslong1952]

I'm glad your taking a buddy along. It's way safer out there

[@chris061677]

so glad to have you on the gulf coast. i love seeing your videos and recognizing the scenery. glad to see you staying humble and gracious for the opportunity you have and thank you for providing such great content!!

[@carlosc3260]

Hey Bama Saltwater, loving your vids! When you tried to show us he hammer head shark I thought... man, it sure would be nice if he were to use a camera with a polarized filter... I bet it would allow us to see the fish approaching the boat on each catch too... maybe ... Keep up the nice work, gentleman!

[@chriswhalen71]

nice Haywire twist demo at 9:00

[@dooley01]

Your my hero. Been down here all week from TN. Weather has not been friendly. But even a rainy day on the beach is a good day!!!

[@BamaSaltwater]

Thank you!!! and yes, it's been raining like crazy, but I fully agree!

[@hoff1323]

I’m always learning something new from the GOAT! Every video is like Christmas. Keep them coming!

[@scotthilliard8406]

Steven can you do a flounder fishing video this week to see what's in the pass and bay. Great videos. Thanks

[@e.t.preppin7084]

Seeing that hammerhead reminded me of working on the Loop oil platform back in 2001 just after 9/11 wow did I see a lot of hammerheads in the water and occasionally a ray that looked like a house just sailing through the water real slow. Some of the guys would pull up huge red snapper with a hand line. Amazing time!!! I sure do miss the gulf.

[@randystone4903]

Great job today Stephan. You brought back memories of Florida head boat trips where I caught a 5.5 pound Spanish and won a free fishing trip. At 14 in the 1960s that was a big deal. Thanks again for a great show!

[@sebasworld7732]

Hey Steve, I encourage you to do some research on handling mackerel with bare hands. It can damage the fish's skin and cause it to die within two days. My brother and I fish as well and this is something we learned about a few years ago. Happy fishing!

[@wyoung3170]

Great video, I've never caught Spanish so big, awesome 👍❤

[@StankyEditorhd]

Dude you’ve taught me so much. I look forward to you videos all the time

[@BamaSaltwater]

Awesome to hear!!!

[@blktom]

Wow... and the last video or two, I have been wanting to ask what the biggest Hammerhead you have seen. Just kind of crazy that I was thinking about it and then you get to see one! Thanks Steven! Hope the finger didn't need stiches!

[@mikesabran]

What a beautiful day out there and a fantastic day of fishing, also a great video I really enjoyed it.

[@lexrichardson7820]

Another great BSW video! Thanks buddy and God bless you!

[@michaelgreene5373]

Absolutely love your videos! You are obviously a man of faith and I love that even more. Thank you brother 🙏

[@scottweidner1613]

Looked like you guys had a really fun day out there👍👍 Seeing that hammerhead at the end was awesome!!!

[@sirelectricgaming3395]

Today i went freshwater fishing with my friend and caught a 20 pound carp, and a 5 pound talapia, and good job on catching like 10 macrell

[@seahad4744]

I freaking love these videos and channel

[@lawrencepowell633]

I appreciate these videos. Especially that you took the time to show how to twist metal leader

[@cartersboxerandbulldogbabies]

Thanks for giving us another tutorial on the wire leaders! Gonna keep at it till I get it.

[@zertifiedd5479]

Best fishing channel out there. Keep the lines tight‼️

[@coatsoutdoors]

I love your videos keep it up Steven! You are the reason I started saltwater fishing

[@BamaSaltwater]

Happy to hear and I'm happy to share! Keep it up!

[@jacksoncapps5103]

i’ll be in gulf shores in two days i have a place down there always wanted to run into ya i fish all the same spots you do and go to the same bait shops been watching since the beginning brother keep up the hard work

[@robgover8341]

Cigutera is actually pretty rare in our part of the Gulf. It is mostly generated from coral reefs and is far more common in the Caribbean.

[@BamaSaltwater]

Very true! I actually like eating the smaller Gugaunches

[@robgover8341]

@@BamaSaltwater Cuda is pretty darn good! Like kings I’d stay away from the bigger ones.

[@BamaSaltwater]

@@robgover8341 Thanks for the feedback! I plan on making a video really soon Catching, Cleaning, and Cooking one since I haven't eaten one in a long time! Just looking for the right size !

[@chrishoda4287]

Thanks for the awesome videos! Nice Spanish and Kings.

[@garytallant3505]

[@BamaSaltwater]

Awesome to hear and im happy to share!!

[@5.56Media]

Love your fishing vids! Awesome channel! Thank you!

[@scotth985]

I think I've fished that rig. We call it the triple rig. Didn't realize it was in Alabama. I fish out of Pascagoula,Ms. Love your channel.

[@Adam-yb2ei]

Great job fellas

[@JosephandJonfishing]

Great catch and great video, fish on 🤙

[@thecoldestwaterbottle1609]

Its nice to see your vids again after not being on youtube for a long time.

I love your catch and cook. I'm learning how to fillet from your videos. More catch and cook and recipes !!!!

Awesome, thank you!! And yes, they won't stop

[@TheSimong69]

ty for another great vlog

[@tomdrosa7051]

Hey fellow fisherman Thank You sharing the experience again you never know what is on the line when you set the hook or what trust in faith can reward!

[@rocinblues]

Great video, and nice fish! Cheers!

[@FanOfLiberty1776]

Great fishing. Gotta love it. I’d love to catch some of those Spanish Mackerel.

[@BamaSaltwater]

Thank you! I enjoy catching them and really like eating them fresh! Luckily, they can be caught by beach, pier, jetty, and boat !

[@ryoung6725]

Enjoyed this. Thanks.

[@vibinshallow7036]

I love you videos there informative and fun to watch

[@wayneyoung214]

absolutely love fishing from the fort morgan pier. we try to go down there every year.

[@BamaSaltwater]

I do too!!

[@user-pm9ud6uo1f]

Great video Stephen. Especially love the cooking segments as i'm from South LA and love to cook! Many offshore trips out of Pecan Island in SW LA and catch same species as you especially big Kings, Cobia, and Snapper. On one trip we caught a ton of what we thought were juvenile kings but took pics and were informed by experts that they were actually "Cero" Mackerel. They look identical to what you caught early in this video, yellow spots and all. Great videos and great instruction!

[@BamaSaltwater]

They're similar but not exactly. Biggest giveaway is that lateral line! Thanks!!!

[@agricola]

Good stuff as always. Love the Wyatt Earp quote

[@BamaSaltwater]

100% thanks! It was engrained in my brain being infantry lol

[@YELLOWLEAF205]

I only used the 28lb wire for mercury fishing. I see Van Staals,can't hide money!

[@ShayLG738]

I like that tackle breakdown. Défi et l’y something to continue doing

[@BamaSaltwater]

For sure!! I'm happy to share!

[@brandonborges44]

I love watching ur vids. I watch all of them.

One of the best KZbinrs ever right here. Keep up the great work!

Appreciate you!

[@smiley6803]

Can you please do some tarpon fishing ? I would love to see that !

[@Strawhatoutdoors]

love how the tag end of the wire just falls onto the floor or the boat. i do the same with my used soft plastics lol

[@BamaSaltwater]

Hehe ikr. Easy to Clean up once back home

[@TimBigBendFishing]

Hey Steve. Have you ever done a rod and reel arsenal video? If so I can't find it on your library of videos. Thanks for the great content and positivity.

[@BamaSaltwater]

It’s in the works . Been waiting on a couple of reels to get out of the shop all year

[@timallaire1]

I'm to see all the little kings, the last few years have been really slow for kings on the north gulf coast of Florida.

[@BamaSaltwater]

It has been for sure! I am glad to see them thick too. Maybe the next few years will be better. Last really solid king mackerel year I had was 2015.

[@greyhawk8187]

Awesome... and with the bonus hammerhead!

[@BamaSaltwater]

We saw a couple going out but that one was the bigger of the two. Really neat!

[@leehowell4258]

Nice King's and Spanish! Never fished like that for either species. Always trolling spoons or skirted menhaden or cigar minnow rigs. Looks like a lot of fun!

[@BamaSaltwater]

It's incredibly fun to fish this way. It's how I learned to fish on the State Pier. Really effective and incredibly simple

[@rgutomo8141]

Come and listen To the excitement, my friend👍

[@BamaSaltwater]

Thank ya!!!

[@roypeavy3542]

Great video 👍👍

[@07bently]

Epic day of fishing lots of action and some super calm seas and a beautiful barracuda I have actually eaten them caught from shore according to local regulations they are good eating, its an awesome fish built for speed and chopping fish in half if I would of been dehooking of cutting the wire I definitively would of been using both hands one to firmly pin his head against the floor and the other with the plier a half decent bite would call for stitches and more Epic series of videos

[@charlotteprewitt6328]

That was a blast

[@chrisgrimes4810]

Awesome fishing trip

[@scottgarrett2255]

STUD....Cuda bro, and those Spanish.....wow! Use that smoked fish dip recipe i sent ya

[@rajeevmasilamony8395]

I've never been this early to one of your vids and I'm glad I am because I wanted to say thank you for getting me and my family back into fishing. We're planning a trip to the gulf in a couple of weeks as a result! Keep up the good work.
