It's how it goes they always out fish us even if they don't 😂

did you found out the name of that large eyed fish? it looked interesting

[@mitchfollis3939]

And my weekend is saved thank you ace, thank you me ancient. Sending prayers and love !

When you anchor its always good to anchor in a clearing so not to damage the reef or any coral. Those spotted ones are a type of grouper and the redish one with the big eyes is a squirrel fish.

[@supervisorone5960]

This is super important... Reef and coral damage could take a lifetime to recover from. Never anchor over a reef or coral its the boaters responsibility to find a clearing of sand.

[@julzsirizzotti2164]

Good to see you guys back out on the water again! One love ✌🏼

[@wideranger4087]

Hey Ace, I came to your channel through Zac Fowler and I've been really enjoying what I've been watching. You and your Dad (and your brother) have a really awesome relationship going down. I really like the way you guys say a prayer before you eat and show respect to the environment you make your videos in. Wishing you tight lines!

[@07bently]

Always anchor in the sand clearings through out the reef Not actually on top of the reef!!

[@jolenedenman728]

Hey! I'm the gal from Dry Creek Outfitters that puts together your kits. I am not sure if you're aware, but we do have a deep sea line, called Mutiny Baits. I think you should test out a sample pack 😉

[@gmboutdoors855]

As I sit here in the snowy Pennsylvania mountains I’ve gotta say I envy you, Ace. I very much wish I was in the Florida Keys right now. But soon enough it’ll be opening day for trout here, I’m counting down the days to Fishmas, and watching your videos helps pass the time. Sending prayers that you and your father continue living your best lives.

[@d4rkness444]

Man it’s all ways a good day when ace posts. Any one else think that

[@KristenHH]

I look forward to every one!

[@North_Star_Fishing]

This is crazy, I was in Florida in March this year and caught and saw every single fish in this video! I also bought that seasoning!

[@antonioriley5214]

Father and son both has an amazing vibe 👌🏽 father raised a good man

[@switchblad333]

If anyone is wondering why the sign says to poke the eyes before throwing away the carcass, I googled so you don't have to: poking the eyes releases the gasses, this makes it so the fish sinks to the bottom and prevents them floating and attracting birds to the area

[@tiffanyyoung3865]

Man that water is beautiful 🥰🥰🥰🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿

[@caio3568]

The very second paps started praying before eating I instantly hit subscribe. Chill content, great video.

[@thegrantula23]

My dad surprised me with a fishing trip to the key west this spring. So excited! Gonna go reef fishing and maybe offshore or bone fishing! It looks so cool there I just can’t wait!

[@averagedude76]

The water is beautiful!

[@mediclomania5147]

Sending prayers and good vibes your way, Ace! You’ve officially made my Monday nice lol. Love the good work, keep it up 👍

[@theicelife7506]

Love you ace you deserve everything. Just wanna say you have literally changed my life. In 2017 I had severe depression. I was honestly starting to think about ending my life. I know as a child of god that I just couldn’t do that. Then I found you. I started fishing in small lakes and ponds and then I remembered my dads old Yamaha boat. I got it out of the shed fixed it and I now make a living off of fishing and it is all because of you. I love you so much and I will always remember you till the day I die. Thanks ace.

[@nova0241]

That blue fish you caught is a puddingwife wrasse instead of a parrotfish; parrotfish have beaks, while puddingwife wrasse have teeth. I believe it's also a reef fish that can only be taken alive for aquariums.

[@MaganaVentures]

*Love your fishing videos! You inspired me to start my own fishing/hiking channel!*

[@hunterbowen6750]

Ace me and my son love watching you fish. He always says when you get a fish. "He's a big one dad isn't he." All he wants is to fish. He could watch for hours. Thank you

[@invalidmayfly2075]

You should come to norway. I’ll show you salmon fishing in a river

[@jeffshiver4209]

A few things for you guys. First tell your father watch his fingers when handling them mangrove snapper. They will literally try and snap you and they will put those 2 from teeth right through your finger nail. Also bring more chum and use a mesh bag with larger holes. In the keys the more chum the better. The farther back you cast in the chum slick is where the bigger snapper hang. Sorry one more thing, use a lot more leader (10-20 feet worth.) good luck and tight lines.

[@mikeg.7083]

Love these videos Ace. Pops always out fishing you is classic though. You can see his excitement to even be out on the waters. Love you alls relationship!

[@SeniorMullet123]

Hope you and your guys family are staying safe and having a wonderful day

[@weylinforest6443]

Hey ace could you make a playlist of all your saltwater fishing videos please? I love the saltwater content and love to listen to it while doing school!!

[@cadennice461]

Amen to adding salt because it’s perceived as evil🤣🤣🤣 amen broski. If by chance you see this…. I’m starting a channel because of you so Thankyou for all the inspiration and keep up the good work ace! Also you got me praying over my food now a days! Glory to Jesus!

[@MightyStrangebird]

Key largo or Islamorada is one of my favorite fishing places you should try fishing for snook or tarpon keep up the great work.

[@unknown_lynks4792]

Those grouper like fish with spots are strawberry grouper and they taste delicious

[@mikeasara6013]

I respect Ace for taking the time to look up the parrot fish and releasing it after finding out that they're not a keeper. Down here in Thailand parrot fish are an endangered and are protected by law. They are suppose to help get rid of the algaes growing on corals.

[@Kephers7]

One more thing, I absolutely love it that you guys are Christian and pray and thank God for his provision for you :P There are not many out there that do. I enjoy seeing it and it is inspiring for those of us who can't really get out and do this kind of thing. I appreciate what you do.

[@lucastavares318]

Ace u have to go out for some snook and tarpon would love to see you get some

[@matthewfish3306]

Those grouper are called red hind or strawberry grouper and have no size limit and are very good eating

[@dubstep4890]

That’s where you’re wrong, they weren’t red hinds, considering they were speckled hind.

[@matthewfish3306]

@@dubstep4890 speckled hind are a different species the nickname for the red hind is the strawberry grouper. Speckled hind are nicknamed kitty Mitchell’s

[@robinbeard4011]

Ya'll just missed our cold weather here in Florida, I live in Titusville. we have some of the best redfishing in thr Indian river and surounding waters.

[@SeabassAdventures]

Awesome video! For anyone who wants to know, first grouper (3:10) is a strawberry grouper. Second (5:10) is a squirrelfish. The parrotfish (10:16) is regulated as an aquarium fish by the FWC. So you can't keep them for food but only for aquariums. Fourth fish (11:20) is called a houndfish. They are like a kinda like a long ballyhoo with sharp teeth. That school of fish eating the chum (11:55) are called bermuda chubs. They aren't typically good eating but some people eat them.

[@itsace6112]

The parrotfish is actually a puddingwife wrasse and can be kept

[@WoodenBoatGuy]

Nice vid. It's so fun watching someone fish down here for the first time. The excitement when you catch a big ol grunt 😂

[@davidbarclay4968]

A bunch of those fish following the chum bag are Bermuda sea Chub. Most people consider them trash fish but I have eaten them when on a trip to Jamaica and I thought it was delicious.

[@AceVideosOfficial]

I ate one of those for a member only video and it was delicious.

[@thatoneweeb7773]

I hope you enjoyed yourself :)

[@austinhancock2084]

thank you ace, your videos always make me smile. I recently lost my grandfather and watching you be so happy brightens my day and distracts me from that. It also reminds me of all the fun times i had fishing with him, thank you.

[@nolansbored1073]

that orange fish was a squirrel fish and These fish can be highly dangerous because these enough to kill the most dangerous opponent. The spines present on the upper side of the squirrel fish's body can cause several sharp, deep and highly painful wounds that do not heal quickly.

[@susannegrabowski4685]

Those fish around the boat after the carcass- I'd be getting my line in the water after them! Gorgeous day, gorgeous waters, & gorgeous guys! 👍

[@cloudsxyz2493]

Love your videos man, keep it up !!

[@NoleFan74]

Those little grouper are called Kitty Mitchell or speckled hind. The grunts are Pink Mouth grunts and are pretty good to eat when they are super fresh.

My favorite shot was that first Little guy diving back down on the release. ❤️ FL

[@Talonthir]

Fish rules app, and you should've reached out to DMFD (Deer Meat For Dinner) or Blue Gabe for a colab. And you wouldn't need to look anything up. Great Vid guys. Also everglades fish n chicken is all ya need for your fish fry seasoning.

[@WaBBigvai]

This may be a dumb question but why did that sign say "please poke eyes"

[@bootleggamer1229]

When you clean a fish you poke the eyes so it’s won’t float on the surface of the water, and when you poke the eyes it releases air which lets it sink.

[@aprilstevenson2360]

Love your vibes. I’ve been watching your content for a couple years now, your quality has gotten a lot better! ☺️

I’m pretty sure that blue fish was a young/small Bluefin Trevally, Parrotfish have beaks hence the “parrot”

[@jacksonbuis6601]

if you go back it did have a beak

[@jackchapuis2935]

Definitely not a bluefin Trevally

For the fishes you called “Sea perch” here in Hawai’i, they are called Nenue. These fishes are good eating especially sashimi style; however, they can contain ciguatera depending on the areas you fish in.

Nice video. Nice release of the blue fish and good cooking

[@jesusvazquez9988]

I love seeing the fish swim off when it goes to an underwater shot

[@playerunknown8009]

A bit of clarification for anyone who wants to know, 3:08 is a very common species of grouper i cant remember the name of, 5:50 is called a boney marrian because it has sharp spines near its gills that can cut your hands when they start thrashing their head, they're very greedy and also quite common, 11:20 is a gar, though they dont get much bigger then that

[@daniilgaiday]
