Chasing Redfish - South Louisiana Marsh (Bonus End Footage)

[@karlrockvoan755]

Still remember taking my boy fishing the first time, hooked up to a big jack , didn’t give him a hand at all told him , if you get tired i’ll take over , he was 7 years old , he fought that beast all the way back to the boat , he was so proud of himself had to get it mounted for him , all 32lbs of it , he now has it hanging at his place , my boy is 44 now and still loves to go fishing when he can , thanks Keith for filming this adventure with your son , sure brings back those memories , A big thanks again for sharing your video with us : Later

[@annmariesikorski]

Nothing like a screamin reel!! Beautiful Fish, both of them! You caught the biggest but Drake caught the first! 😊 That water is so clear till the wind kicked up. Fun Day! ☮️💜Ann of Daytona

Incredible seeing videos about the bayou life from the other side of the world. That young man is very lucky with a dad like Keith, so grounded and calming and friendly.

[@datlouisianalife]

Thank you very much! ❤️

Enjoy the banter between dad and son, respectful, kind and mutually supportive. 🐠

[@davidasimkosr4641]

you and your artificial lures, really rack in the fish, great video

[@chrisavalon6198]

Nothing better than a Father and Son spending time on the water fishing.Outstanding!!!!

[@aravenb]

You and your son have a really amazing bond, and the fact that the two of you look so much alike is pretty awesome. I stumbled upon your channel not too long ago, and every time I watch one of your families videos, it makes my day. You see, for the past couple of years, one of my absolute favorite TV shows has been "Swamp People." My buddies tease me, saying I could pass for one of the guys on the show. I never really understood why I felt such a profound connection to the people and culture of the South until about six months back. That's when I was contacted by my biological fathers side of the family. You see, I was adopted when I was 18 days old back in '73 and grew up in the Hollywood Hills of California. But here's the kicker - turns out, my biological father's family is Creole from Louisiana. It all just clicked into place, why I feel such a strong pull toward y'all. Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you for the videos. They really make my day, and bring back some great memories of my father. I hope to make it down to your neck of the woods one day and experience it all firsthand. Oh and your dog is pretty awesome also, you can tell how much he enjoys getting on the boat and going to the camp.

[@datlouisianalife]

That is an amazing story you have. I sure hope you get to come experience some good times in South Louisiana. We hang out with a lot of Troy's family. Thank you very much and take care!

I also fractured my growth plate when I was around 11-12. But I fractured the growth plates in both wrists at the same time. Kids are resilient. I'm 40 now, and it rarely bothers me. Love the channel! Please keep living your dreams, keeping your traditions, and culture! It's so important.😊

When ever I hear Redfish it reminds me of a Dr. Seuss book, One fish, Two fish, Red fish, Blue fish. LOL

This made my day. Now I won't be able to hear without that in my hear now. 😂

Glad you remembered to put trolling motor on the boat this trip. Conditions perfect, enthusiasm perfect, redfish colors perfect, size perfect, morning on the glassy water perfect. Wind.... not so perfect.......Dad and Son venturing down to Dulac perfect. Drone shots are stunning. Sorry so many gar fish crowding the reds. Not much better than the solid pull of a red in the calm of the morning. Too funny that 1 inch of red makes a fisherman lucky over his fishing buddy. .....

[@2frosty4u75]

I Love watching you, Drake and Tara enjoying life in Louisiana. Would like to see a video with details about rules and regulations about where you can have your houseboat/camp.

My dad had a camp in Dulac for years. Great fishing down there I saw several familiar sights in your video pops knew where to fish and he chose to live there and Cochadrie, after his stint as manager of Pitt Grill in Thibadaux. Sadly he's gone and camps were sold but great memories remain down there.

[@EricSmith-ve7qi]

As Always another Great Video! 2 nice Slabs you guys caught. Quality time together nothing better and Drake didnt miss a beat with the bum hand! Old Andy is a friend till the end lol. Nice throwback scene at the end he is growing like a weed! B Safe.......

You right about growing like a weed. He had a big growth spurt recently. Woke up one morning and he sounded like a different person 🤣. Always appreciate it buddy!

[@terrydouglas2777]

I love that you added Drake fishing video with you when he was only 5 years old. Since you got that fishing trip on video, he can show his own kids years from now that his daddy taught him how to fish. That's just being a awesome dad right there. An at the beginning of this video i think or might have been the one I watched before this one, you was asking him about getting him out early from school to join you fishing. Think back to his age and your dad say to your school, I need my boy to get get out now because we are going fishing so you all need to go get him. I know schools in Missouri would want to argue about it but i5 have told them myself in the past, ok well here is where ill be at that time and its only little bit over 50 miles from here so i expect you to bring him to me because we are not getting back for several days and im not letting this school tell me i have to wait several hours an pulling my boat in rush hour traffic and taking a risk of some idiot hitting my boat ruini g my whole fishing trip/vacation. They don't want to drive that far to deliver a child and interrupt their night with their family. I hate stupid people, any smart person would be asking hey do you have any more room for someone else on your boat and house boat for staying with you guys this weekend and what can I bring. You know us good ole boys will normally or some like myself will always make room for company. I love fishing and teaching others what I have learned during my life. I learned from ikd timers and only one time on the job there was about a dozen of us eating lunch and this old fisherman told the whole group he wasn't telling them his tricks about how he was always able to catch more b8g fish using a trot li e and not having a straighten hook. He did tell me that day while we walked back onto the job site. Ill pass on what he taught me, i have used it and I love it. Using a black yruckers bungy strap from the tree and tied to the main line of trot li e. Just stretch that bungy strap as far as it will go an thats where you tie the knot and make sure you secure the other end to something solid. We've used old cracked or junk engine blocks, oil free and bolted a strong chain through one of the cylinders and tie our trot lines to it. I can't go fishing anymore but I surely do miss it. I guess all i can do is divide up all my fishing gear with my grand children. They are not old enough to care for them and that worries me because I want them to have my stuff, including my guns when I am gone. Sad part, I overheard last week that there are several family members who want all my things when I leave this world. If that happens, I know my grand babies wont get anything. That what upsets me right now thinking about it all. Over 80 plus fishing poles and all in perfect condition along with 12 i think tackle boxes and they are full, some for fishing for catfish and some for lake fishing and river fishing. Depending on location, I knew what boxes to grab and put in the boat. Shower curtain hooks work great hanging from a ceiling with cup hooks to hold rods, I have the gear. Share it all, knowledge, poles, tackle boxes and most importantly share your love with your kids. Thats teaching them you truly l9ve them unconditionally. I do.

It’s hard for me to imagine that people once thought of redfish as trash fish and wouldn’t eat them. I brought home 2 Friday, about the same size, just next door in PAC. I have a family of 6 and each one of those sized fish will feed us a proper meal. I’m actually eating a fish sammich while watching this.

Awesome stuff. I was in the area of Houma La around 2005 after Katrina. I was working in the area & i was staying in Chauvin “think that’s right” also remember a guy I met took me fishing for Red fish & Drum fish. I remember bayou black or something was where we went fishing out of. I had a great time & I never will forget that day fishing. It was the 1st & last time I was ever fishing in those parts. We went all over in the swamp. I’m enjoying watching your videos. Brings back so many memories from that day. Best of luck
