I love the underwater camera footage !!! Not a big fish eater nor do I fish much myself, but I enjoy watching others and the excitement of them hooking those fighters !!! Excellent job !!!

[@berthamiles6507]

Ditto! love watching the fish and where they hang out! Great videos!

[@2ndarymotion]

Your fish at 4:16 is a Gray Tang - Also known as a Surgeon Fish (Acanthurus bahianus). Interesting to see him in open water like that. Usually they are on a reef. Most anybody that keeps saltwater fish has one of these or knows what it is.

[@AnnaLeighdeParis]

I almost wondered if someone dumped a saltwater tank off the pier.

[@lovebug5439]

Hybrids of this species can be very rare. Dory would like this one very beautiful :)

[@andrewr022488]

That doesn’t look like a Gray Tang, it looks more like an Atlantic Blue Tang.

[@patriciapatriot7766]

There are several man made reefs in the immediate area

[@robertmatern4916]

I love the underwater views. It shows so much and the different types of fish available to be fished for. You guys keep up the good work and I hope your leg heals soon. 😊

[@AnglerUpTv]

Appreciate it

[@stevejohnson5477]

​@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist1THANKYOU!

[@terryt.1643]

I’m no longer able to do much fishing at my age anymore and this really makes me happy to watch this. Thanks and blessings to you on a quick recovery. 🥰🙏🙏🙏 👍👍

[@Green.heron24]

I love the beach views without tourists and the underwater views. I don't eat much fish but enjoy watching your videos to view the sea life, love the turtle and dolphins. Thank you, former Destin resident.💙🐟

[@billymccoy10]

99% of youtube fisherman that was injured that bad would be at home. But Brant has nailed it I love the pier videos. It is so nice to get his insight with it also.

[@dakotablueskies]

Fantastic! I’m so happy to see so many fish flourishing. I liked the release at the end💕

[@Hacked1970]

Love the use of the GoPro! Cant get enough of these videos. Good luck & prayers on healing back up soon!

[@stef1lee]

I grew up on Galveston Island 🏝 and dolphins are what we call Water Puppies. I love those guy! Thanks for the underwater footage.

[@jamesmathews9098]

I love your channel Brant. I am praying for a speedy recovery for you.

[@rjsway78]

Praying for a speedy recovery. Glad your calf muscle wasn’t completely ruptured and you didn’t have to have surgery.

[@hakah1717]

Just moved out here in Shalimar! I’ve been going to the pier every other day. Hope to bump into you some time!

[@carolinestartt884]

Thanks Brant for showing the beautiful place you live! Prayers for a complete recovery. Don’t rush it! (As the days get warmer and the fish start biting, 🙏😎) lol

[@blue_moon6490]

What a gorgeous, peaceful video. Thanks, man! 🩵

So many beautiful creatures under the sea. Thank you for sharing 🩵🌊🐠🐬

[@delila351]

I could not sleep last night and was playing on KZbin :)...I enjoyed seeing this so much. I love to fish, but I am not very good. It was fun seeing what was below the surface. TY.

[@scottcrouse2117]

Hey Brant! Came down from MD with my son for the grand opening weekend and had a blast! It was great meeting u and the other guys. We fished the piers all that week and I used a sabiki rig often. The only small baitfish I caught all week were those sand perch. I didn’t know what they were and I got several different answers from the local fishermen on whether they were good to use as baitfish. Hope u heal quickly btw.

[@jacobbouser4190]

Another great video, Brant. Heal quickly, my friend!

[@doug9418]

Now that😲 was the most beautiful💙 under water adventure I've been on😮. Tyvm for the great video. 🇺🇸 👍🏻

[@scottdore4890]

Love that video hope you heal quickly best regards from Maine

[@RandomJ2023]

04:22 That appears to be a Blue Tang, cool tropical fish!

[@Blessed023]

Sorry about your accident Bro, I know that sand can be tough just to walk in, much less run! Thanks for the Beach Pier Videos, I've learned a lot from you three guys, that's usually where you will find me when I come down to the great State of Florida!

[@jimsea9013]

Awesome video, it’s always cool to see what’s happening below the surface

[@randyhunter8558]

Brant that purplish fish is called a surgeon fish. Great content as always!!!!! Love watching your videos.

[@randyhunter8558]

Surgeon fish aka tang

[@Pmcascio]

Hope you get better Brant! I already miss the beach fishing!!!!! Fishing or not your still my favorite saltwater youtuber Brant!

[@itzcaseykc]

What an incredible variety of life in the water! Thanks for sharing your experience via the GoPro.

[@pjfoltz8810]

You showed up on my feed, so glad I clicked on your video! Love the underwater scene!

[@riverratfishing]

Really enjoy these under water videos. Keep them coming. Hope your leg gets better soon.

[@beachwannabe]

I could watch this all day! Love it❣️

[@RobertsRideAlong]

I used to fish that peer before the hurricane knocked it out. I moved away and didn't know they rebuilt it. Glad to see it back. Great footage. I like the Navarre peer also.

[@melodyl6155]

We love your GoPro fishing videos.

[@AnnaLeighdeParis]

This was awesome, I just stumbled across your videos. I could watch all day! Thanks for sharing!

[@annstrahlendorf2879]

This is so neat👍👍👍

[@doknbox]

Perfect timing. I will be in the Fort Walton area in 2 weeks and will try fishing those piers.

[@FahqTyrants]

Great video! Great commentary & tips! Thank you

[@manuelreyes7989]

Well as I commented on your last video. This new one popped up on my for you watch. It didn't took long to see you in the next video. 😅😅 Great content 👌 and be safe and hope that leg gets better soon..

[@beerow]

Great video, Brant! Hope you're healing up nicely, I'm ready for more fishing videos! I'd really like some more deep sea stuff...

[@dgb56bgd]

What an awesome idea. Great content. Entertaining and educational as well. I miss fishing from the FL gulf piers. Blessings.

[@JamesJones-cx5pk]

I could sit out there all day, not catch much and say "that pier isnt holding any fish or bait.🤣🤣 Great video 👍

[@cheralsquyresArt]

Love this!! Gods aquariums! Love to see all these different fish. Thank you and get well

[@janetmcgee4420]

My sister in law lives in that area, like only 5 mins from Okaloosa Island. We LOVE going there. Beautiful beach, good restaurants, and awesome shopping on the pier. Love this place❤❤

[@brandonhill5268]

Bout to be down there this coming weekend!! Go down every year but never bring my fishing stuff. The wife has noticed me watching your videos and now wants me to bring my stuff lol.

[@davidwebb1586]

Hi Brant, That fish you ask to identify , from your youtube video, I believe it's from the Surgeon fish species, 🐟 Cheers from Australia Dave.

[@AnglerUpTv]

Thank you

[@alandaniel1082]

Thanks Brandt it must be difficult not fishing felt sorry for you on the boat but you still helped out top effort mate hope you get better soon how long is the recovery.

[@tomtatum2662]

Keep doing the Go-Pro thing! It's entertaining and it provides more information than we could get anywhere else about "what's down there?".

[@cameronhoover7561]

Love these videos man hope you get better so you can get back to fishing

[@boonedog1457]

Nice! Enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing! 🐟

[@LibertyLover5103]

Indeed that was a Surgeon fish. ( 75 different spieces in the family ) See them on the Florida Keys / reefs. Fantastic footage ! Hope you mend soon so you can get back to fishing.

[@mickeyphanhly1738]

Hope you get better brother!! Thanks for the video info!!

[@leadreviewer3257]

@4:17 surgeonfish there are different varieties this one is very common usually in schools.. You will notice a dark 1/4" area on both sides of the base of its tail that is a spine or spur that retracts as it is now. When you catch one and grab it as fish do franticly shacking their tail, it draws and retracts it so it could cut you with it I have seen it happen.. If you grab it by the gills firmly you should be ok though pretty much anything can be eaten these fish are very thin and not worth it

[@PeaceLoveDolls]

This is so cool to see under the water. Makes me want to buy a GoPro just to enjoy the fish.

[@dwayneweehunt6390]

Wondering when the BBO merchandise ankle boot is coming out? Gotta get me one. Great video as always.

[@bigdawg-cl2db]

Love these underwater vids. Stopped by the Navarre pier on the way to Destin last Friday, lot of jack cravelle being caught, and the young man who we saw catch the first one had caught a sailfish earlier that morning.

[@gss1344]

Supper cool! That’s the pier I’ve grown up with my entire life

[@RealThunderberg]

Stumbled across your channel the other night and really enjoyed the content especially all the underwater GoPro stuff and will look forward to future content. Hope you get to feeling better soon from whatever your injury is. Subscribed ✅

[@willzaboski2361]

Thanks for taking me back to my hometown pier.

[@deepbludude4697]

When I was a kid we are talking like 1970 I used to swim that pier would find all kinds of stuff watches, glasses, rodnreels I used to get in trouble cause I wasnt supposed to ride across the bridge but I still did it! Thanks for the memories!

[@deansmith9232]

Miss sea fishing so much! None of this where I am! Arizona great video!

[@annettereed6146]

You got some really great footage with the turtle, dolphins, and was that a quick glimpse of a shark. Plus you ended with a great catch. Nice!

So much activity around that pier, kind of blew me away.

Get well soon and keep up the GREAT work !

[@martyadair9827]

[@edwardlandry291]

[@DJMflpanhandle]

Hope you get back to fishing soon another great video

[@gotsteem]

I really enjoyed your video, especially that catch and release at the end.. Thanks!

[@PSSKDerby]

Great video Brant! That’s some pile of a variety of fish. I was wondering how you’d continue posting. Great idea, these are pretty cool. Thanks for sharing! Prayers for quick recovery. 😊

[@AnglerUpTv]

Appreciate it

[@PSSKDerby]

@@AnglerUpTv just be patient!!! Trust me, I know that injury. And I was only 29 when it happened. I wasn’t patient, so it took longer to heal.

[@justsomerandommfer]

Loved it Brant. Gotta film the hook set underwater on camera now haha

[@peiwu979]

What a cool video. Thanks for taking the time to do these! Nice Red fish too!

[@BuoyBomberFishing]

I cant wait for MB to rebuild ours. You make good content on them.

[@christajeanne1427]

All your videos are fun, but yeah, the GoPro videos are fascinating. I kinda never get tired of them. 🐋🐟Hope you have a great summer. Feel better soon. 🐬🦈

[@gradybrowning3976]

I think that one fish was a Surgeon fish, they are usually on reefs.

[@thewhiskertamer]

Surgeon aka Doctorfish, yes. A type of Tang.

[@jamalregis190]

Absolutely correct

[@rticle15]

Ditto on that.

[@jonathancumpian7185]

Atlantic Blue Tang

[@johnnoderer8282]

Love the vids! The " banded rudder fish" looks like a pilot fish. They are often seen with larger species like sharks, turtles, etc. Get well soon, and I look forward to visiting BBO when I travel up from S.E. FL!

[@rebeccabriones3804]

We used to fish at 6 mile out by Port Lavaca. Best fishing of my life!! I even caught a flounder. It was about 12". I loved it there!!!❤

[@lakeshiamills1454]

4:15 that fish is most likely some type of tang or possibly a surgeon fish. I'm leaning more towards tang bc if it's body shape and size.

[@williamgrissom9022]

Quite clear water, and more interesting than fishing. Good to checkout sea life before dropping a line. That turtle was amazing. So many people go to the end of the pier when often there is more to catch where the waves break, as this shows. Always amazing to see how much more life is in the warm waters of the Gulf and FL coast than in the cold Pacific on the CA coast.

[@patrickriddlem9130]

Love the underwater footage! Great catch too

[@comfortablynumb9342]

Something big passes under the camera at about 5:05, on the bottom to the right. Probably a shark. My guess is that the grey fish is a kind of chub. Cool video. It could be fun to put a chum bag out by a piling and see what comes in. Might as well put some bait out in the slick too.

[@michaelarnephie154]

That black fish is called a surgeon fish, normally found in tropical waters. Good eating grilled

[@IMBrute-ir7gz]

How cool! Does anybody use "minnow rings" these days to catch those alewives? When I was a kid in South Florida, we called them "greenbacks." How and why those "minnow rings" worked has always been a mystery to me. But worked, they did!

[@pueblodove]

@ 4:19 it looks like a discus, my parents used to put those spade angels in thier fish tank. Is this salt water or brackish?

[@kelley867]

In the beginning of the video I think they’re called thread fish I could be wrong. They are great bait fish down here in Tampa.

[@dr.OgataSerizawa]

Beautiful footage! Is this pier near Ft. Walton Beach?

[@normanramos3675]

Question: was is that on the bottom right corner of the video starting at 5:03 ? Just curious

[@d.a.7541]

While your injured you should do a video on different ways you rig up baits.

[@AnonAnonAnon]

Great video! Thanks for sharing!

[@williambenner701]

So that fish you asked about, looks like a ring tail pen fish. However it is a little darker than the ones I have caught. Actually a decent eating fish.

[@mattw785]

The camera views are great. Its cool how many types are just out there

[@leerutherford4910]

Hey Brant hope you feel better soon and about the 5:02 to 5:04 mark bottom right corner a shark was swimming off

[@publicclammer]

Very neat change of pace video!

[@robburton3255]

Cool video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@Lloydc30]

What rod reel and line were you using when you landed the Red fish?
