[@jeffsnowden4189]

What an amazing array of fish! That is one of your top 10 videos man. Thank you for all you do to entertain and help us become better fishermen.

[@BamaSaltwater]

Thank you! Means a lot! It was unplanned but extremely fun (which are usually the best kind of days haha)

[@RolandDuck-nv1gr]

Mr. Stephen. I just wanna let you know I watched about four or 5 Different Way fission videos channels, and I enjoy your channel the most you are the most informative and I appreciate you.

[@cjahlert]

Looked like a beautiful day. Enjoyed seeing the variety of species and how you adapted and changed locations and baits.

[@jamesbrown7991]

Thank you for posting this....really enjoyed the variety of fish....got me inspired to take my 18 foot out further on a select calm day!

[@bobtrussell6552]

Good weird fish day! Enjoyed the video.

[@stephencrissey6875]

Love watching your videos. Calms my soul and also gets my blood pumping watching ya catch some amazing creatures! TY for everything!

[@cartersboxerandbulldogbabies]

Bruh I just noticed how that leopard fish hit the water when you dropped it back in, it froze up like it was getting tazed lol 😂

[@NukeBreath]

Really enjoy the way you take time and explain the different things your catching.

[@goldviper5280]

Great fishing day. Thanks for sharing.

[@sadugas]

Ok Steve this is Susan in Huntsville and I was just watching one of your flounder videos and I'm telling you that flounder is my favorite ever fish. We fished for flounder in Goose Bayou in La. So catch a bunch of flounder so I can get some filets!! 😊

[@stevel.3281]

Thanks for taking us along, quite the smorgasbord

[@Goosenator636]

The sunrise is beautiful. Just recently started watching your videos great content, multi species, very humble guy.

[@devinthomas4866]

Man, that looks like a great day! Thanks for sharing your trip

Great biology class and even better the instructor and thank you for sharing your day .

[@johngraves8105]

Thanks for the boater tip at the end. That’s helpful!

[@13jonnyray]

What a cool mixed bag. Great video

[@ronturner6411]

Great video thanks for sharing. I have considering a boat that I can use in the Gulf and am trying to figure out the size. Thanks for sharing your insights.

[@ericglenn4644]

Great fishing video with some really nice fish

[@rockyclick371]

I always enjoy your vids and learn a thing or two

[@Chris.E.]

Liked the info on the boat handling. Good for those who have similar boats. Cool octopus too!

[@moblack5883]

It really was!

[@davesessums9596]

Always enjoy watching your fishing adventures!

[@BamaSaltwater]

Thank you, I appreciate it ! It's a lot of "work" in a small skiff but very rewarding/fun!

[@davesessums9596]

I understand but appreciate your work to put out great content!

[@jalmaguer11]

One day I hope to have an amazing channel like yours and do what you love everyday. Thanks for being such an inspiration

[@GAFisherman]

Thanks for sharing

[@jamesthompson8133]

Steve when I was running boats in Sarasota my buddies father was from Italy and he made some of the best dip that I have ever had with octopus. Might want to try that one day. Great job man!!

[@ratdaddy7774]

Love this one because it's like my fishing experiences my entire life 😂 do a few episodes were you just pick an impromptu spot to see what comes of it? Kinda like what happened today

[@fishinfromscratch5484]

Just stumbled across your channel and really enjoy it! Tight lines brother!

[@masonboysoutdoors8381]

Awesome video! I hope to see you out there one day👍🎣

[@roscoep6199]

Love that 17’7” scout boat!

[@robb1460]

@5:20. I was hoping it shoot some ink at you. LOL!

[@normakers5632]

Beautiful! Thanks!

[@BamaSaltwater]

It is very fun! Thank you!

[@joshmassey7566]

Wow that was a nice range of fish!! I never would have thought you could catch an octopus on a hook. That was wild!! Great video!!!

[@BamaSaltwater]

Thank you! It surprised me but ya never know what you're going to catch ! It's always a good time.

[@avemflamma]

giving new meaning to "octopus circle hook"

[@OneOut1]

If you do catch one please let it go. Octopus are super intelligent creatures. Humans should quit eating them. They are closer to dogs in their intelligence than cats are.

[@williamwelsh5451]

Gotta love dem Yam-a-hammers!!!

[@BamaSaltwater]

[@echogl]

Another great video!!

[@charlesfrederick7074]

[@BamaSaltwater]

Thank you! It was fun!

[@johnbailey4628]

Fun trip!

[@nicelady51]

Nice videos and I really enjoy that you don't add music.

[@stevehogan8829]

Nice variety of fish. Thanks for being a great sportsman. I love octopus also but can't bring myself to take one for dinner. That was a big ole trigger. Yum.

[@crazy8acres651]

The weather looked beautiful.

[@BamaSaltwater]

Couldn't ask for any better this day!

[@Alsaltyadventures]

That is a catch of a lifetime!!!

[@ToddDinkins]

Looks like fun!

[@TristanScience]

Octopus are so cool! What an unique catch! 🐙

[@davidanderson1916]

Great video

[@Fpless]

Like your comments, shear happiness and good points on fishing ethics. Greetings from Denmark.

[@freestyles7880]

เป็นการตกปลา ที่แปลกใหม่และน่าสนุกมาก เยี่ยมมากเลยครับ

[@johngoodall7097]

Fun video and as I live in the U K we don’t have species like you do and you chose a beautiful blue green sea and so calm 👍👍👍😃😃😃

[@edwardlandry291]

Killer vid. Excellent content!

[@hubertwalters6345]

When water conditions are that I went out ine 16' skif and slay bottom fishing. Always take advantage of gulf condition like this

[@jonathanjacobs1184]

Watching this from the netherlands in Europe! Great content mate im a big fan

[@FishBumpTV]

Nice Day on the Lake of Mexico! It's pretty rare to catch a day that flat, that far offshore. Didn't expect for you to catch a Octopus, You just never know what you might catch out there!

[@BamaSaltwater]

Thank you! Ikr. That's what makes it fun. If I had fueled up the boat, I would've went further haha. Next time!

[@Koederschlacht]

Great Video again! Would love to have the chance to go out there! This drill with the Octopus, I'm always afraid of a bodypart when it is not fighting back...

[@pathua7692]

You could eat those!!! They’re great tasting, should try a catch and cook with those one of these days

[@Jon_fishing615]

Hey man quick question,if you could do a video on how to tie up for live bait? And some other surf fishing tips would be great your videos are very informative! Keep it up thanks!

[@treed276]

Headed down for vacation in June hope to see you on the beach or piers

[@scottweidner1613]

That was a really cool video👍👍. Just goes to show that sometimes you gotta ditch the original plan and change direction to catch fish.

[@lolsports5615]

My first time seeing a toad fish. Great job and great laughter

[@firesmith666]

Ever thought of taking a fishing trip to the bahamas?? Love the vids btw

[@embracethefarm7191]

Wow, really enjoyed watching the diversity of "fish" you were catching as well as the calm gulf. The octopus was a wonderful surprise!

[@BamaSaltwater]

Thank you! It was really cool getting to catch one!

[@andrewspeight6973]

Nice day out there buddy

[@BamaSaltwater]

Thanks!

[@rolltide9547]

Water is calmer than a country pond.

[@mrpizzajaws]

Wow what a video d👍

[@sirkittyo2919]

here in Australia Trigger fish are generally consider a pest fish that you dont want to catch but they are decent

[@MarkyMark145]

the grin of the toad fish resembling a toad is the thing of nightmares. creepy.

[@miket2812]

If you hook your crab in and out through the leg sockets you can cast it without throwing it off and still have plenty of hook point exposed.. If you're using a good size hook..It stays on the hook well..

[@ddeaae]

Yummy! Let's fire up the Babie...Great fishing today.

[@BamaSaltwater]

🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@RustyReels]

Nice multi species day

[@kennethlocke4213]

If you troll? You can tie ur line to a bass diving crank bait w/out hooks. Tie heavy leader w/hook to the tail of the crank bait. Speed/depth adjustable. Keep in mind crank baits come in shallow/med/deep diving. This YOU SHOULD TRY.

[@chuckyoneil2853]

Beautiful day !

[@BamaSaltwater]

I agree! Thank you .

[@ninaskyfishing2129]

Let's go fishing !!

[@CaptCollier]

Wow. Some interesting catches for sure 😅

[@BamaSaltwater]

It made for a cool mixed bag for sure!

[@rege11111111]

Those red snapper are called finger mark in Australia and are very good eating.

[@pitmarine5339]

I wud have curried that octopus....or brown stew it.....nice vid

[@scottparker6219]

Looked like a fun day of fishing. I would rather eat trigger fish than snapper their excellent although they are tough on your filet knives.

[@michaelknapp3702]

Nice!

[@derekv8534]

Those octopi actually are quite tasty if cooked right

[@BamaSaltwater]

I agree!!

[@mikecampingforfun5226]

Steve since your do close to Florida, when does it become Florida water when your out on the water?

[@gcmgome]

As a landlubber, I would have pooped my pants if I caught that octopus.

[@1d12monkey]

That octopus was the perfect eating size too..

[@BamaSaltwater]

I agree!

[@albertbohn6012]

Hey do you offer sheepshead rigs

[@indiosveritas]

Easy to forget (for those of us who are landlocked) how beautiful the gulf of Mexico is.

[@TheCort1971]

no you do not need super heavy tackle. four years ago i landed a 7ft sailfish from my kayak on a penn battle 5k using a frozen cigar minnow.

[@BamaSaltwater]

It’s hard to go wrong with a cigar minnow ! Nice !

[@pwrplnt1975]

The Octopus should've been in the title.

[@ltruelock2727]

Loved seeing the Octopus and the big Toadfish. Great video! Thank you!

[@BamaSaltwater]

Thank you! They made it fun haha.

[@jamestomkins3221]

I would have kept the octopus and cooked him up

[@gregklevgard1040]

And the creepy guy you met at the dock that day, LOL. I guess we have a mutual friend Capt. David C.

[@machinegunpreacher2469]

@9:16 Exactly. You don't have to have an Arleigh Burke destroyer to go offshore. The idiocy I read about that on the forums never ceases to amaze me. Even had one guy say that anybody who says "pick your days" just doesn't have any experience and doesn't know what they're doing. What a moron... If you have a 17' Scout or a 42' Regulator, you ALWAYS check on the weather before you head out and anybody with *experience* knows that. Rant concluded :P

[@jasonthomas1236]

How much are your charters for jigging. I’d love to make a trip down.

[@Tide12NC]

When I was a kid, captains threw the trigger fish back. (80’s)

[@Tuidkskiwjdhdbd]

Went deap sea on head boat last week out of myrtle beach sc got a big trigger he was so yummy taste like lobster if you just dip in butter crab legs or lobster but better i think

[@thomasflores7817]

Saw the thumbnail and thought “He gonna catch a tako” Fast forward and sure enough lol Called it

[@lucasmckee6173]

Do you do bout Tours I would love to go fishing with you

Man really yanked squidward from bikini bottom

That's hilarious

[@leechase916]

Wow that was an awesome catch of that octopus. You’re too softhearted to eat it or are you ??? I’ve heard it’s delicious & expensive

softhearted? he does tons of catch n cooks… watch some vids before you judge

Great video, friend and, as a biologist, I appreciate your respect for all the species of fish you caught, as well as the gentle release. Well done!
