The fact you gave away the entire half of that king just shows what type of person you are. I love it when another human helps the fellow that wasn't as lucky. I'm sure they were just as impressed as I am with that kind gesture ❤️

Thank you for taking the time to pose for a pic with my daughter Madi on the pier. One of her favorite parts of our vacation!

[@SH-sg8or]

I appreciate how kind you are to your fellow fishermen. As we all know, sometimes the ocean doesn’t reward every angler with something for the grease.

[@mailmusic]

You are an awesome guy, love to see folks share with their hearts.......God Bless you bro.

[@scottgibson21]

That was great being neighboring letting that guy have some of your catch

[@BamaSaltwater]

Thank you, I love knowing how much someone appreciates a fresh catch and it not going to waste

[@johnnorman8424]

I appreciate the way you handle yourself on the videos. I can tell that you have a relationship with God by the fruit you bare. It is good to see that you care for others also. When is your Mom and brother going to fish with you again!!

[@07bently]

Respect nice of you to give the man half of the fish.🙏👍

[@fishinfromscratch5484]

Good deeds are are what it's all about! Awesome day on the water brother 🙌

[@rudyllamas6253]

It was great that you shared your catch, God bless you! Continued success!

[@mikegegg30]

Love your videos. And for all ways thanking the Lord for your day. God bless.

[@brentbrod6974]

I really enjoy your positive spin on life and fishing. Can't wait to see the next one.

[@Dashigos]

Thank you for the content! You’re allowing me to live my fishing dreams vicariously through you :)

[@danaparks8812]

Praise the Lord that was really nice of you brother! God bless!

[@benleong1390]

Great fish .... RESPECT your kind attitude of giving away the fish to others ..... well done

[@keithwest6859]

I appreciate the spirit that you have while recording these videos!

[@jessedanford9360]

Very kind of you sharing your fish! Mississippi

[@BlueLines50]

Awesome catch, your a true fisherman sharing your catch with others so inspiring 👍

[@johnedwards3630]

God bless for paying it foward.

[@BamaSaltwater]

It's always nice seeing someone that appreciates it

[@timburton1812]

Your generosity is reflective of your character. Good job young man!

[@edwardlandry291]

I wonder what the gentleman was intending to do with the head and tail. Consume them in some recipe or just use them for bait? The prize filet handover was a class gesture. Way to go, soldier!

[@jeffyarbrough1274]

Very commendable of you not being greedy with your king. I like your style!

[@BamaSaltwater]

Thank you, I don't show a lot of it in my videos, But I love sharing a fresh catch with someone who really appreciates it.

[@tomnorman6279]

Great day of fishing Capt. Another awesome video!!! Thanks for always sharing!!!

[@tbranch227]

You're such a great guy and a fun angler to watch. I just subbed yesterday and it's been a blast watching your progress!

[@goodman4773]

Love what you do and the fact that you served.

[@JavierGarcia-jo1mz]

You’re a kind person man! Just made me a subscriber!

[@donaldsettle990]

love your home I would ne out in that backyard everyday

[@tpapers1007]

I just watched your video of you dropping your Gopro under the pier. It was posted on Worldstar yesterday. I loved it. This is my second vid of yours and after i seen you bless that man with more than half of your fish I had to subscribe to support some of your character. That told me exactly what type of person you are. Your a great man, never let ANYONE Change that. Blessings🙏🏾💪🏾🎣🐠🐟🐡

[@thomascrawford114]

Great Catch!! Enjoyed the Video!!!! Keep them coming!!! Tight Lines!!!

[@brucesmith6868]

Nice day on the pier enjoy .

[@ADeafAngler00123]

I thank you for the shoutout great video and the way you gave away that king really made you a great man you are! Thank you again and keep up the great work

[@stevenmcadams6621]

Great job on landing a king without the tax man collecting some of it. I gave up, but now I know it can be done. That was awesome that you shared half with that man. Great vid bro!

[@BamaSaltwater]

Thank you, I got blessed not even one shark bothered it haha! I was surprised but it felt like normal again. Thanks !

[@chasecast5582]

Man I miss being stationed in Pensacola. Yet again you’re keeping my addiction going! Great video!

[@janinedraper442]

That was great. I enjoyed watching this video! Still praying for healing on your fishing finger. Great Spanish mackerels you caught. Way to go you beat those sharks!! I m glad that you shared your fish with someone who want able to get a king mackerel. Thank God your GoPro was able to catch most of this great action! Again looking for the next video when your able to.

[@BamaSaltwater]

Thank you much, I really appreciate it, It was incredibly fun. That heat was getting to me and the GoPro haha. I was happy when the footage showed up good. I'm glad you enjoy the vids. Thank you for commenting

[@justinM88]

Great video. Real helpful for me in July when I come down to fish at the pier.

[@centralscrutinizer76]

Good job sharing your catch !

[@Steve0204]

Just recently found your channel and love the content man! Didn’t realize how close to you I was until a day or so of watching your videos , I’ve been trying to get into fishing the gulf pretty hard but still have a lot to learn. Hope I run into you out there one day! I’ll keep a look out for your setup!

[@bruceyee5527]

Hey man used your trick with hung up line. Worked awesome.

[@jamespate6215]

Thanks for the video!!!!

[@usandthem3136]

awesome catch and great of you to give that guy the fish

[@johngonzalez5274]

This was a great video, me and my buddies are from Southern California and we're shipping to mobile for a 3-6 month job assignment and after seeing your videos I know im going to be fishing the gulf state pier quite a bit. I just purchased a few of your pompano rigs to make sure I'm prepped and ready for Alabama. Great video bro keep on the good work!

[@williammathews6603]

DARN GOOD VID BAMA,GOOD TIPS ON RIGGING TOO..THANKS AN KEEPEM COMMIN..GODBLESS..

[@truss2005]

I caught a 25lb wahoo off Jupiter pier. Outgoing tide had a ballon with a live cigar Minow. Fun times

[@thisisus.504]

I love watching your work. It's interesting to see how set up your piers are to cater for fish filleting, washing etc etc. Here in the UK, you'll maybe get a sign that says....fishing....pay here...and that's it! I grew up fishing the summer holidays away at Brighton Marina, west arm. Facilities were there in the 80s but about a 3 mile walk. One day, needed to spend a penny. I walked precariously around the arm end building for privacy, on a foot long ledge. Whilst 'spending a penny', at that very moment, the fog horn started at about 1000 decibels. How i didnt fall in the sea is beyond me!!! I have never jumped so high. Very impressed with your work, your ethics and your delightful approach to humanity. Magic my friend, magic.

[@MyChapion]

This video just sold me! Just ran into your channel now catching up! Awesome work learning a ton off your videos (only get to fish once or twice a year)

[@davidkearley4717]

That was another awesome video. Kings are always fun to catch and ok grilled or smoked dip is good to.

[@Laszlo14]

Great video and nice king mackerel. Keep up the amazing content. Can’t wait till the next video.

[@elforasterodelasierra5535]

What an awesome fish

[@chrissimmons6172]

Great catch and wven better good will in sharing it with that guy. Really enjoy your videos and your great altitude!

Awesome vid!

[@coolfishing2476]

That is a awesome fish

[@aaronsfishingadventures1111]

I was there two weeks ago. I love fishing there. I’ll be back in July. Hopefully I’ll run in to you buddy. Take care.

[@dougleegreen4133]

Dude I love your channel. You are awesome

[@youtoob1234567]

Glad to see a king come off the pier, they're tough to land right now. Maybe one day they'll get the pier back together!

[@trev_fishing749]

Great videos, been to bama once and fished that pier and surf fished. Watched your videos before i went. Definitely helpful, thanks and keep it goin man.

[@BamaSaltwater]

Thanks! I was raised fishing the GS pier , I absolutely love it. It's just a shame it's not getting rebuilt any time soon.

[@yebonuts]

Love the haircut brother!

[@kingrespects675]

love your videos man keep up the good work

[@BamaSaltwater]

Thanks!

[@benkimmel1257]

big fan. You make great videos!

[@hadleyscott1160]

I know you guys won’t do this but I just steak it out. They taste wonderful. No scales and easy to separate bones as they fall out. I put some marinade on it being careful not to overcook. Yum.

[@michaelfritts4384]

Great catch,keep the videos coming

[@BamaSaltwater]

Appreciate it, glad you enjoy them

[@mikemontgomery2654]

I’d love to fish those waters some day. Great video, very cool seeing the Hercules flying over, too.

[@jsullivan5823]

Love your stuff man, I know you're not much older than me, but you remind me of my grandfather as a fisherman, Thanks again man!

[@chrisfultz1528]

Great video as always, a that was a good move there on the giving the fish to someone. Good deeds always come back to those who give. 🎣🎣🎣

[@rusedorange]

Actually it's probably unfit for human consumption due to mercury pollution. Can't blame Bama for not wanting to eat it himself.

[@reelhookcast5551]

It’s always a great day when bama uploads letttssss gooooo

[@markstevens3575]

Role tide great video

[@Sinister_one]

Love the videos man, new to the channel. I will be in Gulf Shores next weekend from Texas and super excited to fish there.

[@BamaSaltwater]

Awesome! It's world class fishing here in this beautiful place. Good luck and Tight Lines, I love Texas. It'd be my 2nd choice of states to live in

[@brownsrvlifecampground9322]

Nice catch

[@heartwormskillcats8357]

Damn, that reel looks so damn sick!

[@charlesmurray8814]

I did the same thing with a Cobia I kept one half and gave the other half to a kid that was on the pier early one morning in the early '80s late 90s

[@-fishingvideos-liorben-hai2447]

Great video my friend

[@warrenmay8003]

My wife and I really love watching your video’s. We are from Louisiana and would like to come fishing over there, what boat launch do you normally use when going out to the rigs in the bay? Thanks for all your Content it is very informative. Thank you for your service

[@bobwallace166]

You should get an ice machine, unless you prefer bag ice for as much as you go fishing. I plan on getting one to save money in the long term.

[@zachwilliamson634]

Been waiting on this video

[@BamaSaltwater]

Heck yeah! It was a good day

[@shanarock]

Glad your hand is doing better been waiting for the new video

[@BamaSaltwater]

Thank you!

[@robertrio632]

Damn bro that was a nice fish

[@larrysledd2195]

awesome video are they planning on building the pier back

[@danieldickerson7674]

You have the kind of demeaner like the BobRoss of fishing lol, would love to catch up with ya sometime and catch some fish

[@kranson8514]

Great content, great flow, great job, but even better karma bro👏👏

[@intheknow7659]

Quite true. Some are smaller and some are bigger.

[@DanleyNuksGoneFishn]

Gday from Australia, good content mate

[@BamaSaltwater]

Appreciate that ! Cheers !

[@joeret2896]

Nice job. There’s your good deed for that day. If it were me I’d smoke the king and make a dip out of it. And do a ceviche with the Spanish. Ceviche is very common here in S. Florida.

[@jlgfishing-hunting8737]

Yesterday was my birthday and i went right pass where you were fishing

Stephen I think the King blows the Flounder away from the other day myself! Beautiful 😍 fish. -Cliff Battleship Marine Supply Fairhope, Alabama

[@BamaSaltwater]

Haha, I'd much rather eat a Flounder though ;) Thank you!

[@Jake.warren251]

Caught an 18 inch flounder on the pier 06/09. People are so nice there

[@BamaSaltwater]

That's a good one right there! I agree, we have the nicest people on the pier here in Gulf Shores

[@TheDustysix]

Smoked Fish Spread goes good with beer.

[@BamaSaltwater]

I agree, Sriracha and Pita Chips too

[@38012shayes]

Just noticed they haven’t got the dock repaired. And is you can show the new fort morgan pier. We will be there this October. Hope to see ya

[@BamaSaltwater]

And they aren't planning on repairing it anytime soon either unfortunately. They got a $12+ Million bid for repairs and denied it (for obvious reasons). It's a shame. The Fort Morgan Pier is looking great but isn't quite open yet! Hopefully it will be by then. Good luck and tight lines

Hey man I’m heading to the pier in two weeks i freshwater fish. If you want I’ll be out there trying to catch my very first saltwater fish and I could use some advice. I don’t have any gear or anything. See you soon!
