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

[@Michael-cf9lf]

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.

[@Wideranger]

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!

[@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 😉

[@07bently]

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

[@d4rkness444]

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

[@KristenHH]

I look forward to every one!

[@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.

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

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!

[@averagedude76]

The water is beautiful!

[@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!

[@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.

[@mediclomania5147]

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

[@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

[@delawareteacher1182]

Wonderful prayer, you guys are blessed!

[@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

[@SeniorMullet123]

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

[@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

[@MaganaVentures]

[@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!!

[@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.

[@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!

[@invalidmayfly2075]

[@AriesGurl5185]

Oh wow that Parrot Fish was BEAUTIFUL... and my favorite color is blue!

[@fongvang4697]

Love your videos keep up the good work

[@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.

[@hiro2881]

I love the way he calls his father me ancient 😂

[@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.

[@lucastavares318]

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

[@mediclomania5147]

Yes! The time has come! Another eat what you catch video! Keep up the beautiful work!

[@thatoneweeb7773]

[@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.

[@bridgeroutdoors8023]

Awesome I love when he posts

[@gstunna3957]

Just a fun fact about pelicans is that they don’t have a very long lifespan. When they dove bomb the water in the ocean after fish the velocity they hit the water with will eventually make them go blind to where they can no longer hunt in the wild and eventually starve and die. They also have extremely sharp teeth and also a throat produces an acid that actually melts the fish they caught into mush. So anytime you’re cleaning any sort of fish it doesn’t matter what kind of fin’s or spikes. I actually learned this when I took my niece and nephew to the New Orleans aquarium and we were on a tour. I was born in New Orleans and love the place but would never want to live there. I’m very thankful my parents moved to Dallas. Even my grandma and my great aunt and my fathers cousins have all moved to Baton Rouge because it’s one thing to visit New Orleans for a few days but living in that city (which used to be one of the richest cities in the United States back in the day). Has become a giant mess. So if you goto New Orleans for a trip stay in city unless you know what your doing and know where the REAL restaurants and seafood markets are at or you will most likely be robbed.
