It's not easy for a KZbin video to hold my interest for an hour straight. You did. Thanks for sharing.

[@FishAholicTV]

hahaha oh really? Well thank you so much for taking the time to watch! Some people like the long content, and some people don't. But as long as a few do that is all that matters to me!

[@atuuschaaw]

@, I love the long content. May have something to do with me being long in the tooth...but still. 🙃♥

[@sesamechickenforall]

Best channel on KZbin no cap

[@SnookClub]

Another great video Rich. I don’t know how you filmed that Goliath underwater and released it at the same time! It seemed like you had a cameraman on board because the camera panned down after the release. Anyway it was cool. The yellowtail was a freaking mutant as well. 🎣🐟🐟🐟

[@Hookedwithhenryofficial]

i love your vids the best fisherman on you tube👌

[@atuuschaaw]

Great villa and another exceptional video! I've always loved exploring new waters. There was always an anticipation that accompanied my exploration, and that always kept things interesting-even when I did more fishing than catching. That yellowtail on the first day was a beauty, but the second day groupers stole the show! 😉♥

[@FishAholicTV]

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed and tight lines!

[@wellsjdan]

I love the kayak adventures... I love the bridge adventures too... I'd like to see some content on what you do after you fish as far as taking care of your reals

[@FishAholicTV]

Ok cool, I'll start to touch on that after fishing break down. Thanks for watching!!!

[@jacksondenly1758]

Great video as always! Keep doing your thing

[@texoutlaw1732]

Great vid as always Rich. If that is a titanium wedding ring please remember it is difficult to cut off so if you ever injure your left hand pull your ring off immediately.

[@FishAholicTV]

Thanks so much!! It is just a silicone ring!

[@Bayamontate100]

Great fisjhing Video. I enjoyed a lot

[@ZMAAllOutDoors]

Let’s go

[@FishAholicTV]

Thanks so much for watching!!

[@pjl4562]

Great episode!

[@FishAholicTV]

Thanks so much!!

[@FishinBud]

Little late watching this video but damn that yellowtail...what a fish

[@mickilkr]

You the man! Just poured my sunday morning coffee! Perfect timing again!

[@FishAholicTV]

hahaha awesome! Thank so much for watching!

[@jasonmerlino3815]

I dunno man that looks like only 4 miles out lol Another great video

[@FishAholicTV]

hahaha I slept like a baby after that trek. Thanks so much!

[@j.mimoso4767]

Killing it! Gonna hit Palm Coast in early April. Gonna have to go back in your archives because I know you fished it.

[@urbanbackyardcontainergardenin]

Just poured my Sunday morning coffee. Watching another fantastic video from Rich😊. Awesome🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾

[@FishAholicTV]

Thanks so much and glad you enjoyed! Tight Lines!!

[@j.mimoso4767]

Let's go, Rich!

[@j.mimoso4767]

Rich, can you tell me what video it was when the shark came up and ate, what I believe was a grouper, and you needed to take a break after?

[@FishAholicTV]

hey there, I found the video kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZ6Xnoqtoslkmq8si=t5tshmDtehc5c2Di Its an older one but I hope you still enjoy!

[@richardwarfield7386]

Nice bunch of Groupers Rich - I enjoyed watching. All for more offshore action if it works out

[@FishAholicTV]

Thanks so much Richard!!! I'm itching to get back offshore in the kayak!!

[@aimfendi]

Those little groupers are strawberry groupers/ rockhinds! They don’t get too big but are sopposed to be really good eating 4 per person year round.

[@KaryVi]

Que resort maravilhoso, já quero ir ! 😲 Amei o vídeo, você mostra a crua experiência da pescaria e eu admiro muito isso! 👏🏻 Parabéns pela pesca, bonitão

[@DustinLeeOutdoors]

Great video! Keep it up

[@josephtrapanese3310]

I absolutely love the underwater shots, the lures, the fish, the kayak fins. Keep that up!

[@FishAholicTV]

Thanks so much!! Glad you enjoyed those little snippets.

[@TMORENO713]

Yeeeee . . . 🐐🐐

[@dalebechtel8904]

Thank you rich for giving us some great footage during a very boring off season for us in the north east.

[@FishAholicTV]

Of course! Stay warm up there. i heard there is ice on the lakes up there. Call me weird but I actually like to ice fish and I was thinking of making a trip up.

[@dalebechtel8904]

Yeah there is a lot of ice. Unfortunately I haven’t gone ice fishing for a long time because there hasn’t been good ice. Go figure.

[@F.HFishingFL]

Great simple video!

[@dansiegel1874]

Being grateful brings great things. You are living the dream and take the time to be thankful for it and step away from the hard work to appreciate it. Thats the key to life.

[@FishAholicTV]

hahaha thanks for the words of wisdom! Tight Lines!!

[@MorabitoFamily]

Great fishing in the Keys!

[@FishAholicTV]

Thanks so much for watching!!

[@Zane687]

Yeahh lol im in flamingo right now got a couple nice ones

[@FishAholicTV]

Awesome! Catch em up!

[@Southern_Taurus_]

Damn that yellowtail was a hoss

[@michaelcohen2345]

Five miles!

[@FishAholicTV]

hahaha yeah Mike it was a good work out!!

[@money8bag]

Rich there are some massive dog snappers at the last pilon where that rusty gate at on the right side

[@FishAholicTV]

hahahaha cool thanks so much!! Tight Lines!

[@Kltpzyxm17]

Howdy Rich! 👋 You too, Karina! 😊

[@FishAholicTV]

Howdy howdy!!

[@scottsluggosrule4670]

Grunts taste pretty good btw

[@FishAholicTV]

yeah I've tried em a couple times. Definitely not bad. Especially in the fryer haha.

[@SD-ft6gs]

Rich do you know what that bubble curtain was for between the marina you were staying in and the ocean/bay? thanks for another great video, i hope Karina gets her visa situation sorted soon!

[@FishAholicTV]

I'm not really sure. It looks like you can swim underneath it. But glad to hear you enjoyed!! Tight Lines!

[@bradleywells75]

Typically the bubble curtains keep grasses and other floating objects out of the marina.

[@EvanThompson-jl6ow]

Making pancakes, smoking a joint and a new video from rich!! Happy sunday!!!

[@FishAholicTV]

hahaha sounds good! Glad you enjoyed! Tight Lines!

[@richardjack4827]

Good morning Rich!! A bad day in the Keys is better than a good day just about anywhere else brother.

[@FishAholicTV]

Thanks so much for watching!! Day 2 was pretty good! I was happy with the few miles and way more fish hahaha.

[@Kyle-x9v3j]

What’s your reasoning on using the 7ft6 rod a lot on the kayak. Love the vids, plz inform me Mr Rich

[@FishAholicTV]

You know, I like the tip action for jigging, also so I can easily reach around the bow when fighting a fish. I also like the extra length to cast a little further. When I'm in the kayak I can only bring 2 to 4 rods comfortably. So I like to bring functional equipment to save space. On the boat I can bring 10 or 15 rods so I may bring many different action and length spinning and casting rods.

[@corkycoursen-tv4wv]

Great videos, love the kayak off shore very cool. How did the bixby work in the ocean? Thanks for the great content and adventure. Cheers

[@FishAholicTV]

Thanks so much!! It worked very well. It is nice to have a back up propulsion for getting back in.

[@miskeen8701]

im from australia and iv heard florida houses some monster sharks

[@FishAholicTV]

Hahaha yeah these waters are plentiful with sharks. Many say it is an over population. But idk. I've always been told it is a sign of a healthy ecosystem. But we all have days out there when most fish get eaten by sharks on the way up. Which is sad.

[@adjusted-bunny]

Dear Rich, it's me your mother. I don't like when you are far out there. Better stay in the docks. Or come back to Minnesota where we have so many lakes.

[@FishAholicTV]

hahahaha never been to Minnesota mom.

[@Sik.Suki_750.]

I met you last weekend at the Stuart causeway! I would love to join you on an offshore fishing trip here in Stuart if you’re interested! I got the water out of my fuel 🤣

[@FishAholicTV]

hey man, nice glad to hear you got that handled!! Shoot me an email and we can try a trip. Fished every day this week. Monday and Tuesday I was able to sneak offshore. But the rest of the week inshore and it is starting to heat up!

[@brianscott217]

Here fishy fishy 😂

[@FishAholicTV]

hahaha yeahhh you know it Thanks for watching!!

[@brianscott217]

@FishAholicTV always bud

[@southfloridapaddlefishing7452]

Resort looks incredible but the prices are crazy

[@ZachariahBrown-d1y]

Good video

[@FishAholicTV]

Thanks so much!! Tight Lines!

[@Swordfish-Sailfish]

What kayak do you have I am looking for some fishing ones

[@lucasdobson3021]

What hobie kayak is that? Length? Been wanting to get into kayak fishing

[@ehayward3719]

😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

[@kingsleyjames1069]

How can I get your type of rod ship to Africa?

[@FishAholicTV]

Hmmm, I do not know. You can buy the rod from J and H Tackle and if you email them you may be able to see if they will ship to Africa. Here is the link to the rod Dark matter 7'6" fishaholic MF spin rod bit.ly/4gse803 and here is there contact page jandh.com/pages/contact Let me know how it goes. Tight Lines

[@MartinVSmith6334]

Live lizard fish for bait is practically a guaranteed striped bass up in the northeast! Nobody should throw them back.

[@nolanjohn2833]

im going to the keys in a couple of weeks. does anybody have any advice where I can rent rods big enough to actually fight some solid fish. thanks!

[@pigsandapples]

Really enjoyed that. Thanks man

[@FishAholicTV]

Awesome!! Glad you enjoyed! Tight Lines!

[@Johnh4christ]

Another really fun video Rich. I’m wondering do you do anything different when in deeper water regarding preventing losing a bunch of gear, if you actually capsized. Big boat goes by not paying attention for example. The pedals unit or electric motor would be a big loss?

[@FishAholicTV]

Yes, I do have a leash attached to my peddles and or electric motor when it is stored behind me. I've also practiced swimming, flipping the kayak back over, and climbing back in. I think no person should kayak offshore alone or kayak fish in the ocean without practicing this technique in a controlled environment.

[@Johnh4christ]

@ makes sense thanks for the response

[@the.old.cottage]

Whats the set up ?

[@weatherherk1]

A couple of things…you should had brought the wife down with you… next ..I’m glad you are enjoying your accommodation….I looked into make reservations there…4 nights was $1200.00 bucks….glad you can afford it…looks like some good fishing…😊

[@FishAholicTV]

Thanks so much for watching! Well either way hopefully you make a trip down to catch a few! Tight Lines!

[@Tog_Tastic]

Hey Rich, what are your thoughts on the new Quantum reels?

[@FishAholicTV]

I like the reels. They are very nice.

[@mashunyu8418]

Hi can u please tell me what bridge are you fishing in this video

[@FishAholicTV]

TBH I do not know the name of it. I just fished the nearest bridge I could kayak too and that was my first time there. That is what is great about the keys. Every bridge is fishable and has fish. Just time the tide and and time of day and you may catch some nice fish. Good luck out there and check out Islamorada or Lower Matecumbe Key

[@scottjolly8983]

U had 150 yards of line out. Plenty of line for that fish to swim down to the bottom in a hurry. Even with u pulling on him. Good stuff man! Really love watching! Ive learned so much over the years!

[@josephtrapanese3310]

Yeah that fish didn't hesitate to hit the bottom.

[@FishAholicTV]

hahaha yeah for sure. You live and you learn. To much scope and the current was pushed me towards it when I stopped trolling to reel it up.

[@FishAholicTV]

yup, they are smart and thats how they get bigger haha.

[@thebobberbandit8998]

Your obviously a great fisherman, and I love your videos. but you gotta size up your gear man. Shouldn’t be getting broken off that much !! Those were some quality fish !

[@aricwright7493]

Im out of touch, I never knew you were Married. Nice vlog though!

[@FishAholicTV]

All good. Thanks so much for watching!!

[@bobshapiro1120]

Like always more Gabbin less catchin!

[@FishAholicTV]

Thanks for watching. The end of the video is non-stop catching. Incase you missed that. I try to show the full experience. The lows and the highs. It keeps it realistic. Tight Lines!

[@RSA50502]

🤎

[@drumfrumjax]

I thought you weren’t supposed to take goliaths out of the water?

[@FishAholicTV]

Yes, over a certain size you aren't supposed too. But Now there actually is a lottery regulation and slot size to keep a juvenile Goliath grouper. March 1st to May 31st you can keep a goliath grouper 24-36". So I believe the law changed once this small season started. Also in these waters you really don't want to hold a small fish over the side of the boat for to long or a shark will find it. In addition, the last grouper I caught and removed from the water you can see FWC cruise by in their boat. They watched me fight and catch the fish and didn't say or do anything.

[@drumfrumjax]

@ ahh. Thanks for the clarification. Makes sense though, I’d love to keep a Goliath I hear from older guys they make a good steak. I was not 100% sure but know how the internet can find folks and they get into some sort of trouble with FWC. Good stuff man. Appreciate your reply. Keep up the good content.

[@baylonaj]

You don't need to take the fish out of the water to show it.

[@Johnh4christ]

You’re so sensitive, the fish will be fine

[@FishAholicTV]

Sharks sharks sharks. Watch these videos kzbin.infoKfoWy-I-1tc?si=4_n215QDDkCXgQbl kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZ6Xnoqtoslkmq8si=JPC_qDi6WTUM9LSk Then you would see why it is better for the fish and for your hands to take it out of the water to unhook it, and then release it.

[@mischaraine1645]

Yup! I grew up in the Keys. That’s all I know.

[@FishAholicTV]

hahaha sounds good.

[@thomaskitlica5572]

When you using light tackle your going to loose fish so don't complain go heavier if you don't want to loose fish!!!

[@FishAholicTV]

Ok, thanks for watching and tight lines!
