Like Fish Candy - Found An Island Loaded With Fish And Bait!!!

[@2112iscoming]

The small fish you lost at the yak was a leatherjacket. It's definitely a blessing that you lost it, they have spines on their the back that make a hardhead seem mild. I found out the hard way 😂

[@cfv704]

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. So lucky.

[@dabmywaxdude]

yes he is right avoid touching them with your hands, it burns! lol

[@davescheer5038]

Been there done that 😄 there kinda like a small mackerel, would they be good for live bait ?

[@brob-zy8zi]

I agree, that's what it looked like to me. I've not had the apparent misfortune of shaking hands with one but from what I hear it is unpleasant.

[@vtguy9249]

Today is such a awesome day. Went out on my kayak for the first time myself caught some large mouths and pumpkin seeds, and now a Fishaholic video. Today worked out good Salute to u Rick u inspired me to get 2 kayaks n go fishing with my dad and chill. Thank you for ur videos and the inspiration. It has helped with my mental health SOOO much

[@joshuafigueroa6]

Anker 757 powerhouse station is awesome!!

[@davewylie654]

So about our summers. Slightly different up your way but very little. As you live thru the blast furnace we call July and August and you can see the first cold front on the horizon you know relief is coming...UNTIL you realize September is the hottest 😅😅

[@supervisorone5960]

Good video let me suggest how to make a reminder note for yourself, this is what I do.. I dial myself on the phone, hang up and then I go to missed calls and I text myself the reminder note.. Safe trip

[@AbaFishingYt]

Hallo master. Happy nice day for fishing.

[@davewylie654]

The Anker units literally have so many uses and always in my boat. Iam going to get a couple of the big ones for my camp up north. Any of us who have gone thru Hurricanes can attest to the value received. Anyone who wants to make big $$ would buy a pallet of them and sell them after the storm. I will never go thru another one without several units

[@kennyhollidayjr5206]

That's a great spot! I bang up the snook and jacks there pretty regular! Looking forward to seeing you out here one day!

[@yosuecaridad944]

If you’re going to Brazil for the mighty peacock bass don’t forget to buy Luhr wood chopper and a Perversa lure that you’ll find there locally

[@josta8474]

Fish at 24:00 is a leatherjack, don't wanna grab them with your bare hands. They have some type of poison on their fins that'll hurt for a bit if you get pricked

[@brojingle9859]

Anker is a quality company. Great that they are sponsoring you! Keep up the great videos with those handy transitions. LOL! I fish a lot of topwaters from my Hobie 360 here in the Galveston area, but you are better at actually catching way more fish than I do because I won’t give up on the topwaters when they just aren’t working. Recently, at my son’s request, I have tried out the Japanese Ike Jime technique of preparing the fish I will be eating. It seems to elevate the quality of the filets greatly. AFTCO has the tools for the processing of your catch. Inexpensive. Check it out. Looking forward to the Brazil footage. Keep up the great content. Mike B.

[@matthewjohnson3305]

I just left Florida today had a blast and surf fished the ocean on Melbourne beach not to mention is was my first time fishing salt water !! I will definitely be back sometime to do it again

[@leandrooliveira8865]

good luck and catch good fish in Brazil, I don't know which part of there you're going, if you go in the northern region of Brazil where I'm from, you'll catch good specimens. I live in South Carolina now and I fish here often too..

[@wubbalubbadubx2]

Rich how do you like sleeping in the 4Runner? Mine 5G has 3rd row seats so it doesn't lie flat. I can inflate a twin mattress and it's pretty comfortable but there is zero room for any gear.

[@marcosm3355]

That’s a leather jack (Oligoplites saurus) at 24:00!

[@paulszo]

My wife and I enjoy watching all of your videos! Back in the day I would camp out on the beach anywhere from 3-5 days at a time. We had everything we needed in my van. Trade that 4 runner in for a 4WD van. I tried to paste a picture of my van but could not.

[@markussimmons2386]

do not contact that number, it's definitely a scam

[@paulszo]

@@markussimmons2386 He has been on here quite awhile. Thanks

[@michaelcohen2345]

Finding an island like that must be awesome! Cant wait for the Brazil vids

[@dennisthomas6320]

I used to catch those off the pier, called them skip jack but I think the real name is leather jack.

[@donnie2533]

Great video glad you posted keep them coming thanks

[@fredhoffmann7037]

Dude don’t miss out on these stripers!! Come back up north your subs will all rally and help you find a place to stay!

[@BrassHammer]

You don't need to remember everything, just one...a checklist. Sit down and make a checklist, as time goes by the list will grow. You don't always need to take everything on the checklist, but it will jog your memory, and save time going back and forth to get on the water before the heat.

[@stevinveroba52]

Great video as always Rich. You're camera work is awesome. Cheers brother.

[@42edits]

Clean transition at 11:42

[@tylertoner6966]

At 24:00 that looked like a skip Jack. They have venom/poison on the fins. Try not to grab them

[@matthewb7589]

Beautiful area! Great video sir

[@kenbarrett44]

What’s the link for the smaller chargers? Thx

[@jaymccarty8994]

Bigger better bait equals much nicer catches. : )

[@Laszlo14]

Another amazing video and I can’t wait till the next one 👍. You got snook after snook and some multispecies(catfish, barracuda, snook, a skipjack).

[@kalefishadic6758]

Looks good in your new haircut ❤ nice vid. More fish to come 😍

[@stevehogan8829]

I use 2 FPV LiFePo4 12watt 50 AH batteries to power my OldToen 120 AutoPilot. Love it. Have never run them down. What Hobie are you in, I can't tell. Thinking about adding a Hobie Compact as a light weight alternative in SWFL for the summer. 75 lbs vs 120 hull weight. IF you're using a special lens, its working great on that water. I was trying to figure out what kayak your in. Is it a Hobie Revolution?

[@ThyKibile]

Love the live bait videos, perfect time of year too. Great content man, keep it up🔥🔥

[@theloosemoose8200]

Bro, this time of year in Florida you need to be fishing slow on the bottom... Especially around my area which is where you're at...nice big paddletails or jerkbaits slow along the bottom and you will get consistent bites from the bigger fish... Right now I'm killing it on dark color 5in paddletails with gold flake..

[@mikewhitaker2306]

Looking forward to your videos from Brazil

[@ridingdaskunk5395]

That fish that you lost Rich was called a leatherjacket, they are ruthless and will give you a very bad day with the spikes on their belly..

[@michaeldesilvey7563]

Love every video brother!!!!

[@charlesbraun8867]

Hey watch all your vids . I know snook is what you go after, but is there any way you could fish for more table fare. Sheepshead maybe some yellow tail etc. the bait you use. I watched you fish with mud crabs,how do you catch them and where to find them. This is all new to me , will be retiring and wouldn’t mind catching lunch for me and the wife . Thanks in advance if you can.

[@liamhogan1797]

great vid! awesome island you found! cant wait for brazil!

[@SirGingy6]

Question: DO you use authentic gopro batteries or other brands?

[@thomaskitlica5572]

Would have loved it if a 40 inch plus would have taken it!! Would be a fight on that tackle.

[@adamsmith3996]

Maybe you could have shown us those birds . They sure were making interesting noises. Fish catches are great but im sure im not the only one interested in the wildlife also.

[@davelester1985]

Have you ever considered reeling in slower sometimes? What is your reel ratio?

[@johnwhitmore5408]

Sometimes you seem to be so under the gun. Time constraints, what did I forget, maybe I should fish here, maybe I should fish there. It is like you don't allow youself to enjoy fishing. Look, you do a great job and your videos are wonderful. I live to fish these places vicariously through you and it is a great experience. Calm down, enjoy the moment, and care less what the people in the comments have to criticize. Thank you for all you show us and the valuable information you teach us about fishing in Florida.

[@hepcat5199]

“…little pink houses for you and me…” 😎

[@adamsmith3996]

Home of the free !

[@SullySavingHistory]

Hi New sub here! I was wondering if you have ever done a video on your bike storage set up. I'd like to build a rear storage platform for my beach cruiser and yours seems to check everything off. Thanks!! Sully

[@robbiehampton6450]

I sleep in my truck if I'm camping or on a fishing trip, I have a Caframo 12V Cabin Fan installed in my truck, doesn't drain truck battery and can run off my Jackery, I've yet to find a A/C small enough to use

[@richson873]

Hi Rich, Love your show! Can you charge the battery power houses with a vehicle adapter..? Thx! Rick 🎣

[@richardjack4827]

Pilot truck stops have all kinds of cool stuff for the road / vehicle living Next fuel stop check it iut.

[@christopherpcreation]

Just as hot up north waters low af sweet set up

[@piero2393]

Hey dude, are you in São Paulo yet? If so we could plan a fish day.

[@danaparks8812]

You probably already know this, and there are a bunch of other KZbinrs out there that are letting us the public know that there's scammers going around. I saw them on a bunch of the comments from this video already. Hey if something looks FISHY to you, does that really mean that it's good? 😂🤣 I say they wanted live bait. What do you think? Another great entertaining and learning video Rich I really appreciate it! GOD BLESS!

[@williammurray7264]

Superb show!!!!!!

[@StonerCreek74]

Could you let us know if you always used campgrounds when sleeping in the truck, or did you use any public parking lots or things of that nature? I'm taking the same type of fishing trip down the east coast soon and was going to sleep in my Tahoe as much as possible. Just wondering any positives/ negatives of parking overnight. Anyone else chime in as well. Thanks again for sharing your journeys with us and safe travels on your trip man!!

[@davewylie654]

I travel a bunch as I fished for a living for many years. I was in South Texas and had my hotel room booked.. or so I thought. Needless to say they overbooked and I was late getting there. No rooms anywhere, I had heard you could overnight in any Walmart lots. I was super hesitant bur tired as hell so I went there and parked way out from the store. I had a great night sleep and wasn't bothered by anyone. Since that night I have spent approx 60 or so nights in Walmarts and others that allow it. Saved a ton of cash and have never had an issue. Hope that helps

[@mtropicale]

What cast net you use?

[@jayjohnson9668]

If the snook didnt strike it I guess it wasnt a perfect cast!😂

[@roccop2578]

what line leader and hook r u using

[@davewylie654]

Fish that got off was a Leatherjack and will ruin your day. Went back and looked again and 100% sure that's what it was and it's the biggest one I've ever seen. Super painful poke from them and they have stickers all over them

[@AdobePro1993]

What are the rules for fishing bird island? I always stayed away as i thought it was off limits to go past the signs around the perimeter of the island?

[@nickdavies1057]

What kayak do you use?

[@caseyshaw8908]

Look like a crazy fish

[@denverharleman8045]

some those fish's got some air time

[@milestaylor5377]

4runners make the best sleeping bags

[@johnbrooker6134]

Those leather fish have two spines on their bellies that cause intense pain if you get stuck or scratched by them.

[@rlk5709]

I keep all my area fishing gear in one big container, leaves me having to remember just the big stuff, cart….brain etc.

[@TB-xw3vo]

23:53 is a leatherjacket. Don't touch them they can sting you.

[@fearmyglock_850]

were u using a van staal?

[@spk7816]

good video, thanks

[@davidpickens6916]

Recharging your charger? On a trip? Another PG&E plug? Connected to your car and charging while driving?

[@tacklecentralfishing1051]

23:59 a fish with a concussion

[@josephhale2827]

Rich do u have an sue with drifting and have y ever considered using a shallow water anchor?

[@ravewall5372]

That was a skip jack they will prick you with there fins like a catfish so definitely don’t try to handle them✌️

[@jasonkron6488]

Hello rich, my name is sid. My mom and I are moving to vero, what,bridge, inlet do you recommend.

[@fishing80l]

Good 🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣👍👍👍👍

[@undisputedtruth4954]

A shrimp lure would've been better for the snook.

[@rachelthompson9324]

there is a group called Van Dwellers. If you want to learn how to live in a van or car, check them out. Lots of people will be doing that as the boomers retire because we are broke.

[@Fishermanjuice22]

Yes, leather jack, would have hurt if you took it off the hook bare handed.

[@adeebnaber4369]

please watch the guy from Barzil on you tube /Fishing Alone in a Amazon /you going to love it and surprise good luck on the trip

[@almostg00d5]

im a noob with catfish, why dont you want to handle it?

[@jasonthomas1236]

We call them skipjack

[@victorurtecho7149]

North Florida ain’t Florida. That’s like South Georgia lol.

[@mariakevelier8069]

I believe that was a leatherjacket fish, it is poisonous.

[@miamiwax5504]

Leather jacket fell off the hook

[@Galik_Production]

лайк!

[@supershaggyx3]

maybe a yellowtail snapper at 24:00

[@cjkimes]

Tint your windows

[@nature9066]

You are rich brother

[@nedpalmer7495]

Please! work the lure back to the boat, your not bass fishing .Trout and other species will follow back to the boat then strike. Also, wet your hands before handling a fish.

[@michaelferrari3123]

First!!!

[@timkraig8041]

Very boring. Bro..Step it up,

[@mannygonzalez2136]

talk too much dude

[@stevewolfakaheliarc2696]

Sorry. Only interested in Long Island fishing. Just unsubscribed. Good luck with your southern adventures.

[@supershaggyx3]

I take that back I was doing alittle research and I see a fish that looks pretty close to that and on the site they called it leatherjacket. says they usually fond around shallow water and beaches in te gulf

[@Fishermanjuice22]

Yes, leather jack, would have hurt if you took it off the hook bare handed.
