Found a Canal Loaded With Crazy Tarpon - Florida Keys Fishing Experience Day 1

[@jettschaefer7974]

So hyped for these florida vids

[@FishAholicTV]

Awesome glad to hear!!

[@theevilg3nius]

I’m not a jealous person but is because Florida have about 65778758788854888484858485 species of fish to catch. Shhiiiiet there invasive species is more exciting than 10 species we catch in NY. If lucky we get an occasional cobia etc

[@Nigel_BC]

I’m not doubting that you already know this but I think you keep losing the Tarpon because you don’t bow when they jump. It could also be the fact that they are tarpon and they are hard to hook as well. Anyways awesome video man! So hyped for this video series!

[@rrgH20polo]

Nice of you to say where your at! For us that only maybe get to run down there once in a blue moon, it really help to get pointed in the right area. Thanks and Great job.

[@ramrodrymensnyder2648]

Been trying to come up with a dream yak trip for my wife and I. These vids with actual locations are awesome!

[@stephenreppert4153]

You're a way better fisherman than I am but you gotta bow that rod when they jump! Bow to the king!!

[@nickbaer6584]

When I grow up (although I'm probably twice your age) I wanna be just like you, you my friend are living the dream and I am envious every day. It's ok still, cause I live vicariously though you, lol

[@FishAholicTV]

Haha 😆 as I get older though I’m starting be envious of others who have what I don’t so I think it goes both ways. But I’m loving life every second of it on the water.

So, for as long as I’ve been a fan and a follower, I always get excited when KZbin notifies me of your newest post. You truly let us feel the experiences as if we’re along for the ride. This was a great day for you...sunshine and quiet waters and lots of fishy business. Thanks as always Rich! State safe and as always LTF...FTL👊🏼

[@udontknowball]

Enjoy this series every year!!

[@coreyjbeats1357]

Super excited for this series! It’s beautiful out there!

[@CatchingDinosaurs]

that first tarpon under the bridge was a nice fish

[@GatorBallLegends]

Tarpon are such cool fish aerial acrobats and even the small ones fight with such vigor

[@LastChanceFossil]

You’ve got some precision with your aim, my goodness. Thank you for the upload

[@adinoegroho8726]

This guy is smart for looking the fishing spot. Bravo

[@danielstephenson146]

WOW that intro is freaking EPIC! Can't wait for this series :)

[@FishAholicTV]

Haha thanks glad to hear you liked it!! It’s going to change slightly with every video though because I have some much content. 🤙🏻

[@cinderellie8]

@@FishAholicTV stoked!

[@bruceallen4460]

Got into fishing with kayak . Then wanted to follow kayak videos. Yours are great. It’s a great idea to fish different area for us viewers. Like Murielle’s inlet. Thanks Bruce Allen

[@fishingwithohdad]

Tarpon are the top of my bucket list. Great action.

[@CJ-sq3di]

Hey man word of advice for jacks, if u grab them and put a finger on each on of those black spots and squeeze it acts like a pressure point and they won’t flop

[@randymorris8740]

Team Vudu for the win... LOL Vudu Shrimps work great in fresh water too, I use them in Lake Erie with great results...

[@chadhilburn5687]

Chills down my spine. Only way to describe that little intro! Great work brotha!

[@FishAholicTV]

Haha awesome! I change slightly with every new episode so look forward to that. I have so much content!

[@smiles.5927]

Tarpon's are so much fun to fish , the snappers as well.

[@bradwadefishtx]

Good stuff Rich. I'm very much looking forward to this series and your time in Florida.

[@FishAholicTV]

Thanks Brad!! I’m looking forward to hearing you all enjoyed them and are hungry for more!! Tight Lines!

[@Powell_Kayak_Fishing]

Exciting footage of hunting those little tarpon!

[@Killemgrillem00]

Was just going to suggest collapsable canvas water buckets to slow the YaK down when your Nantucket sleigh riding. Then you put the peddle in reverse. Such efficient rigs. I always had a problem putting the end of the fight pressure on the big fish. Nothing better than exploring the keys on a yak.

[@30ATV]

Gotta get you over to our 30A- Destin area -- when you see the tarpon jump push the rod down towards the fish to give it line and it wont pop the hook as easy. Fun times !

[@theevilg3nius]

There is absolutely no way to be bored in Florida , fishin, sAlt and fresh, spear fishing for tilapia and barramundi , snakeheads , peacock bass in the sewers lol. pythons in the bathroom , gator , яHogzilla, and now suddenly everyone is an iguana hunter . I’d have the coolest apex predator show. Diddlly gonna bite me lol

[@lj122476]

Super pumped about these keys vids. Ill be down in marathon at the end of next week.

[@cadencupisz7816]

When the tarpon jump “bow to the king” or put the rod tip to the water. It will help with the slack and it will be harder for them to spit the hook. The line will raise when they are about to jump that is when you (bow down) or put the rod tip to the water.

[@johndonovan7334]

Looking forward to rest of series, always best fishing videos.

[@garylostinspace8500]

I never fished in warm oceanic waters, needless to say, you catch a lot of fish on my bucket list and Tarpon is definitely one of them. Great video and really clear, clean waters!

[@PeaceIsBetter]

Just back from Cedar Key where we were skunked for a week due to a cold spell. Wish we had gone further south like you. Best of luck.

[@jakeromano21]

I have never personally tarpon fished, but everyone says you have to bow to the king (rod tip down when they jump). May help keep more of them hooked! Then again, you do this for a living

[@g-style4466]

totally dig the underwater footage

[@xingao2057]

The view of key is gorgeous！make this vid like movie

[@alexguzman2749]

Love watching his dude. Watching from Southern California

[@FishAholicTV]

Awesome thanks Alex for tuning in! It amazes me when a viewer mentions where they’re watching from 🤙🏻

[@TomMendoladrums]

Fishing paradise! Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@reelinshore4968]

Yet to land a tarpon on a kayak. Been pulled around a bunch but they seem to always spit the hook. When they hit the canals where I’m at I’m landing one this year. Epic day keep up the slaying fishing days.

[@majik_man]

I love too watch you fish while i eat. Good entertainment. Should of kept that red snapper for lunch!

[@tom3141]

Some people call the snook robalo while the snapper or grouper is called pargo last but not least el Tiburon also called shark

[@dieguezsnook3209]

Congratulations brohter 👍💪😃 Puerto San José Guatemala 🇬🇹👏👏🎣

Thanks Pavel! Gets better as the days go on 👍🏻

Always remember to bow to the king

[@cadekaufmann650]

Killer video! It was great meeting you today, hope you found a few fish!

[@FishAholicTV]

Hey Cade yeah likewise 👍🏻. I found some fish yesterday but nothing crazy. Just enough to keep a couple for the table and have a few fish tacos haha.

[@kevincortez7538]

Been watching your videos since you went to rhode island. You inspired me to fish here in Florida. Love your channel im always waiting for new vids

[@FishAholicTV]

Wow thanks Kevin for sticking around and for the kind words! Glad to hear you look forward to new uploads! I love to read these comments because in the end of the day it will give me more motivation. Tight Lines until next time 👍🏻

I’m a huge fan... I’m headed to the Keys to fish in a week and I was 100% inspired by your previous videos, I ordered some Vudu Shrimp too 😉. You also were my inspiration to start Kayak fishing. Keep it up.

[@eddiearrington8086]

The difference between he and most, is this guy knows that we are here to do what we love. When that happens, life takes care of itself. Don’t believe the programming! We deserve as much joy, health and happiness as we can take. Peace to you and yours…

[@joethebourbonman]

Great video! I feel like the mangrove snapper down in the keys are way more aggressive than when you find them in other parts of Florida-rare to get one on artificial up on the gulf coast.

[@Dayrondecuba01]

This serie is going to be 🔥🔥🔥

[@RayEveryday]

The intro is fire and good video

Ballsy bringing a certate out in the kayak dude! I would be paranoid about something happening to it lol

Your casting is great though. Nice job.

I love me some no name key bridge, possibly my favorite key bridge, hooked a big tarpon there, jumped and snapped my line. And my anchor is still there.

[@FishAholicTV]

Haha sounds about right. But sounds like it was a good outing either way 👍🏻

@@FishAholicTV wana get real close to a tarpon, go to Robbie's and hand feed the tarpon. It was way more fun than I'd thought it would be.

Great video! What kind of shoes are you wearing? My husband is looking for water/wading shoes. Thanks!

[@chrisdamas8362]

So you want us to buy stuff so you can live the dream, bumming around the keys fishing your heart out rather than being a working stiff, stuxk at home due to COVID. I lived in Bahia Honda park, spearfishing the keys back in the day. Noone paid my way. I think that is rich, Rich.

9:47 You know you're a true fisherman when your reflexes are that good to block a lure while standing in a kayak without batting an eye.

You could try to put the location of those locations, like this place where you started today, I live near the keys and I would like to fish in my kayak in those places. Thanks in advanced
