[@FishAholicTV]

Thanks so much! Another one coming up Sunday morning! 5 miles Offshore!!

[@HookedOnHawaii]

Super solid day out on the yak. Really like seeing how people get after it in different parts of the world. The water looks to a whole other playing field where you are.

[@FishAholicTV]

Thanks so much!! Glad you enjoyed!

[@DownSouthEnduro]

Jeez its crazy how many bots are on this platform these days, love the videos man keep it up❤

[@FishAholicTV]

Thanks so much! I deleted the bots!

[@blueaggie64]

At least the fishing is real. Hmmmm, or is it ? 😂

[@priscyprisc5414]

Epic mutton. We love the keys fishing...more please ❤❤❤😊

[@FishAholicTV]

Thanks!! Another one coming up Sunday morning!!!

[@nicholasbowie5660]

That snapper was a giant bro! Good stuff!

[@FishAholicTV]

Thanks so much!!

[@Adrian-oz1tm]

Loved this episode. Can you start doing more catch, clean cooks

[@FishAholicTV]

it's funny you say that! I filmed one this week!!! Coming soon!

[@markanderson9373]

Hey Rich, we can't see the fish finder screen. I realize you have several cams, and dealing with them can be a hassle. But a fish finder came would be really cool so we can see what you see. Keep up the good work, I appreciate your videos!

[@KaryVi]

I love the Keys videos!! ❤ Just keep your hands out of the water 😘 hahahaha I have "inches from death" flashbacks 😱 Stay safe!!

[@FishAholicTV]

hahaha you got it babe!

[@G-Force_70]

Great segment Rich, monster Mutton and a beauty Red Grouper. What's the update with your boat?

[@FishAholicTV]

Thanks so much and glad you enjoyed! The boat is running fine. I may re-power though or look for another hull. Idk to be continued as always haha

[@richardwarfield7386]

That Red Grouper was awesome - what a huge tail

[@FishAholicTV]

ahhh it would have been sooo delicious

[@richardjack4827]

Big Rich getting it done! Dang right brother those mutton are delish.

[@FishAholicTV]

hahaha it was a fun day out there! II ate every piece of mutton! It was a perfect amount for the week!

[@rolandoalard9]

Gotta love that NET, look at the skills that NET displays as it catches that mutton 😂

[@FishAholicTV]

hahahaha I can't forget the net

[@staceygiometti9680]

That Was Fun.😊

[@FishAholicTV]

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed!

[@Peter-zg3em]

i got a gomexus handle for my bg mq. the stock knob really does feel like a twig in your hands. anyway, it's a full handle assembly so you just take your old one off and put the new one on. gives you a full sized power knob for about 30-40 bucks. worth it imo, it's the only bad part about the reel. you've got pretty good sized hands like i do. i don't think anyone else makes a threaded reel body for that price.

[@brandonwollard2902]

Lower Matecumbe fishing the Caloosa Rocks. In between the rocks and flats is great Sea Fan and coral relief. Head west and it follows all the way past channel 2 and Craig key. Spent many hours fishing this area. 🙌🏻

[@brandonwollard2902]

Next time you are there throw out some rattle traps in the shallower reefs. Mangos love them.

[@TB-xw3vo]

What dive plug were you using?

[@Hookedwithhenryofficial]

that was a monster snapper dang

[@FishAholicTV]

yeahhhh definitely one of my new favorite things to do.

[@bigadventure3797]

Drag may have been to tight. When I troll crankbait I set the drag pretty light then tighten up during the fight if needed.

[@FishAholicTV]

Yeah possibly. This crankbait dives about 12ft on the troll and some of the sharp coral heads come up to 6 or 7ft. Maybe a grouper ate it and went around the structure. Who know but we live and we learn haha. Thanks for watching!

[@Heathaze813]

Hey Rich- Where in the Keys? Where is the put in?

[@miamiwax5504]

Annes Beach launch just south of Islamorada

[@miamiwax5504]

Rich in my experience when you get rocked up pedal the exact opposite way the fish got in the rock (usually the opposite direction of how you were reeling them in), go maybe 75 yards while letting line out then put your hand on your spool (max drag) and and pedal slowly. I get most muttons/grouper out that way. Letting out a bunch of line and going the opposite direction will give u a better angle.

[@FishAholicTV]

Cool, thanks for the tips!! I'll try it! Tight Lines!

[@FishinBud]

Dude this kind of day is my ideal fishing day...few big ones but just a bunch of bites. Personally I don't get these often but last time I did I caught 2 high 20"s redfish, a decent speck, and a ton of bluefish. Was awesome! The Bluefish made it the perfect day. The tug is the drug right! I don't care what's on the end of my line as long as its a fish.

[@FishAholicTV]

Hahaha exactly. I was on cloud 9 at the end of the day! Thanks for watching!!!

[@FishinBud]

​@@FishAholicTV do you guide Rich? Edit: just found your guide site. Nice man

[@paveltabac8971]

Nice fishing day

[@FishAholicTV]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!!!

[@devinpowell932]

Man U should get a video out on the flats while you’re out there!!

[@FishAholicTV]

Sounds good I'll do it next time!!

[@brutusmaximumus]

we just got back from the keys, took our hobies down there, caught my first tarpon ever :D

[@FishAholicTV]

Awesome, Congrats!!

[@gawhd5795]

Do you have a vhf/radio when you are offshore? If so, which one do you use?

[@FishAholicTV]

yes and a garmin in-reach. This is the radio I have on me Uniden Atlantis 275 Handheld Two-Way VHF Marine Radio amzn.to/4hCa5hV

[@robertgrosz4114]

You should come up and fish the Panama City area with me. Got tons of spots inshore for trout, reds, snapper, sheepshead. We would crush it!

[@FishAholicTV]

yeah that would be fun. I actually fished out that way after an offshore trip. Found tons of redfish but I couldn't get one to eat!

[@scottsluggosrule4670]

Please think about going to 1 treble...this why shad lure work fine 1 hook in middle is all that is needed..safer for fish and for you. The rear treble damages the most hooking belly and if inhaled..gut and gill hook.

[@calaftan]

Bravo

[@lee8287]

These fish on kayak is so massive. I hope the non kayak fisher realizes this.

[@michaelcohen2345]

Elephants eat peanuts!

[@FishAholicTV]

hahaha you know it Michael!

[@Kltpzyxm17]

The bots were first! 😅

[@FishAholicTV]

Hahaha I just removed them. So you are first now 🤣

[@KaryVi]

Hii Kurt!! 😁 Hope you're doing well!

[@thegrouperking]

I’m wondering if you got the bass lure with upgraded hooks idea from Elias

[@FishAholicTV]

I didn't know he was doing that... But he is a great fisherman and we text back and forth all the time. When I texted him I got the 29" Mutton he rushed to get out there haha. When I moved to Florida a few years ago I started fishing these little Crankbaits for Snook. In the Saltwater retail space they don't make a lot of little deep diving plugs like this so you have to get creative. Trolling these cranks along tidal river edges, structure, and below spillways the snook can't resist. Last year I helped my dad get his PB 40.5"Snook on that tiny crankbait hahahaha. He couldn't believe it. Thanks for watching!
