Dude that hook removal off that shark was an absolute pro move

[@brianerwin639]

Getting ready to move be in the area next 30 days reels oiled tight lines in da future

[@BamaSaltwater]

It was an "on the spot" idea that worked great! Thank you

[@bradmetcalf5333]

I took the course a few months ago and had my venting tool and decending device within 3 days. Ive already used that decending device a dozen times. Absolutely worth it.

[@BamaSaltwater]

Awesome to hear!!

[@andrewwillis4911]

"Good Lord, it's like you got a freakin anchor... " BAAAHAAA!!! I'm still rolling off the commentary! LOL! Appreciate Y'all! Made the end to a long day enjoyable.

Hahaha!!! It's always a good time! I appreciate ya! Happy to share!

[@07bently]

Nice catch on the shark

[@TheThrilloftheSpinner]

I really enjoyed your video. It was informative and entertaining. I'm also using some of your tips in my own fishing videos.

[@richardwarfield7386]

Hefty Sandbar Shark. Caught up to 4+ feet from the surf and seen a 6 footer pulled in at the inlet where I fish. Beautiful creatures

[@jamesdempsey8811]

Great video

[@funnycat4241]

I ate fresh sandperch everyday for 2 weeks never got sick of it. Delicious fish and easy to catch

[@Toby_Kid563]

just as good as all your other amazing videos luv u!

Awesome vids Steve. Watching from Hornepayne Ontario Canada. Nice to see warmer weather compared to snow down here.

[@theresters1]

IMHO, TRIGGERS ARE THE BEST TASTING FISH IN THE GULF. MY WIFE SEZ FLOUNDER, LOL! BUT THEY ALL TASTE GREAT PREPARED AND COOKED CORRECTLY...WHICH OF COURSE, YOU DO, LOL!! LOVE YOUR VLOGS.

Great video Steven. I'm itching to get out soon, you make it harder not to take a day off. lol Take care and be safe out there.

[@urbanbackyardcontainergardenin]

Great video brother

[@justinM88]

Aww just what the doctor ordered a fishing video on a rainy day. Can I make a request video plz could u do a pompano video plz

[@davidgoldsen8504]

Very nice! I bet the sharks love the red snapper on the descending device. They chase them going up and then get a free meal going down.

[@BamaSaltwater]

Oh I bet so too

[@MrEmersombiguns2002]

Great video again. Nice sharks out there....Hooked one last Aug wi grandkids. Their dad took over and couldn't turn him. Guide said we would be there for long while. He got off, or was cut off! Kids loved seeing large manta ray come under boat(8' across) 30 of so miles out...

[@bigrich6750]

I’ve dove on the ones off Pensacola. Right after they were dropped, it was pretty awesome to go down and see a tank with its gun pointing out into the water sitting on the white sand. The last time I dove them, they had subsided under the sand quite a bit. Some of them, only the tread was left exposed. Glad to see the ones off Gulf Shores are still upright.

[@bigal5747]

love it

[@scottweidner1613]

Loved the under water footage 👍👍. Headed your way in a month. Can't wait to park myself in the sand n watch the sun come up n the rods bend.

[@roberthathaway7958]

Looks like great fun

[@flowerfarmerscott]

We always called those "sand perch" but the official name is "bank sea bass".

[@williamyoung7225]

Shark ID...as far as I can tell on video... that was a gray one. Nice save on the jig.

[@Steve-ev6vx]

When ever I saw tanks listed on the charts I always thought it was like some sort of water tanks. I never thought of them being actual battle tanks, and I have fished em a bunch. 😂

[@BamaSaltwater]

Haha yeah it's super cool knowing they are down there!

[@BillyFishing21]

nice one love the videos

[@Bbuckshot2]

I'll be at Orange Beach for a Staind concert May 14th. I'm a fisherman from Louisiana. Interested in meeting up?

[@rockyclick371]

you keep killin it and you be over 200K before we know it !! nice work !!

[@leroymorris6036]

Thats some good underwater shots

[@BamaSaltwater]

Thank you, glad I still have all of my appendages after that

[@kierra_mist]

Can’t wait to move to Alabama this summer ❤

[@BamaSaltwater]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@booterbutler3693]

Do a CnC on those sand perch!

[@BamaSaltwater]

I did one a few months ago, next time I'll film a ccc again for em! kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zn7Ih6aqo7qfpMk

[@vincentdoucet2893]

Dude is making it happen!!!

[@BamaSaltwater]

You know it!!

[@jroyero]

Wheres the catch and cook??❤😂😂

[@jessherbert9150]

I bought some squidtrex for fresh water lake trout! Can't wait to try them out.

[@BamaSaltwater]

Sweet!! Good luck!!

[@stratos150]

I enjoyed the video as always. Thanks for the entertainment. Has there been any progress that you've noticed on GSP fishing Pier.

[@BamaSaltwater]

They've been steadily working , just gotta depend on calmer winds!

[@caseychipley1671]

Love the videos Steve how's Ricky stalking you coming along 😂😂😂

[@BamaSaltwater]

Hehe, I love Ricky either way haha! He's just a lil pup lol

[@richardhosey4127]

Love your fishing, you sure do a good job of picking days to go offshore, can you tell us how you pick them?

[@BamaSaltwater]

Thank you! I just really plan trips based off this forecast from NOAA: www.weather.gov/marine/mobmz

[@scrappydog175]

You love your job! Wish I even liked mine. Good job 👍

[@92656trw]

Nice

[@tinamoore4310]

Underwater video was great. I even watched the ads. 😂

[@jaydenturner6862]

I work at the Anniston Army Depot!

[@BamaSaltwater]

That's awesome!! So much logistics and support that goes into it is amazing to see! I was a Driver and Gunner on an M2A3 Bradley

[@thomaschandler4831]

I love your show brother 🏆👍👍

[@garyjackson355]

Hey buddy do you have any kind of a update on the gulf shores pier i now they started working on it a while ago

[@rogerbarrera8600]

My first time commenting on your awesome videos been a subscriber for about 9 months now but I lol at 1:08 in the beginning of the video how the rod bent down then you said OH MY GOSH 😂😂😂 good stuff keep the content coming god bless 🙌

[@FullBoxed200.]

Second here also haven’t even watched the vid yet but I already have a smile on my face

[@wvjeri67]

Gosh, I'd so love to be out there fishing with you. I was born with a fishing pole in my hand, LOL I love saltwater fishing, and someday, I hope to go out deep sea fishing. I've done the inshore, pier, and surf fishing, but I would love to go further out and do some deep water fishing. I live in WV, so I only get to saltwater fish when we go to the beach on vacation. Thank you for sharing your fishing videos. Stay safe out there, and God bless.

[@BamaSaltwater]

That's awesome!! It's a fun experience every time for sure!! Thank you for taking the time to comment! God Bless!

[@user-gx6wo4yo1p]

I am amazed at the number of barracuda in the Gulf

[@jakemallory4239]

crazy fact, Bank sea bass start life as females and then change to male after three to four spawning seasons.

[@BamaSaltwater]

Interesting to know!

[@DigginSoCal]

Awesome two days of fishing... that shark (under water shots) was really cool....but no thanks...lol

[@jamesedwards8900]

Just got a 25’Bay Boat that I plan on going offshore with on calm days. Lotsa bay and flats experience but no offshore. I live in Corpus Christi Texas and plan to visit near shore rigs and man made reefs. Need advice on tackle, setups, baits. Etc…… Watch your channel daily but need some more in depth info. If you don’t mind. Love you channel and hope to hear from you soon

[@BamaSaltwater]

Best advice I can give is go to your local or nearest popular tackle shop and tell them your intentions/plans of what you want to target. They should be able to set you up from there!

[@christianjimbomb8204]

These deep sea fishing videos you should make a little longer. The're "Great" !!! tony! Just like frosted flakes and real cream used to be.

[@fishingintexas1519]

By the way, you should try mullet if you were to try I’m sorry, but I want to tell you the best fish and you think it’s very very bad but try lizard fish. I swear I tried it once so it takes a little bit to get bones out but try it it’s very good.

[@BamaSaltwater]

I Love mullet. It's personally one of my favorite fish to eat when fresh,

[@phil10000]

Let’s go crabbing seen all the baskets

[@BamaRockstar85]

Btw how big do those sand perch get?

[@Snoogleheimer]

Hey Bama, what's your top 5 fish you like to catch for eating?

[@BamaSaltwater]

1) Wahoo 2) Scamp Grouper 3) Triggerfish 4) Flounder 5) Mullet

[@gerardchong6092]

i got a question why do you hold the rod like that when you are jigging w the spinning reel won’t holding it at the at the sponge be better and more efficient

[@BamaSaltwater]

Just comfortability. Best technique is hold up high for leverage but we're all human and just do what we can haha!

[@TwitchZachFN]

I’m going down to orange beach and I was wondering if you were recommending any spots

[@BamaSaltwater]

Seawall under the bridge can be good during tide changes!

[@jackiebishop9574]

Thought we were going to have shark steaks for little bit there. Nice fishing trip. Got a question for you about the descending tool for the red snappers, have you ever had big fish are shark eat the fish before while you were descending the fish? Still would love to go fishing with you.

[@BamaSaltwater]

I personally have not but I could not vouch if they ate them once they were "released" Dolphin and sharks like an easy meal

[@ericbunch7801]

interesting , old army tanks , guess they make a great reef

[@tylerpleasants7966]

What rode were u using on your spinning set up

hey man, i have a 3000 nasci with 15 lb braid and my rod broke on a cobia on the pier, and all i have now is a 15 to 25 lb rod do you think that would be ok or a bit too heavy

[@BamaSaltwater]

Might be a little heavy for the 3000 but it should still work.

I don't know why people complain about catching sharks. I caught a 300 lb lemon in the keys that took an hour and a half to get in. What a blast.

They're fun for sure! Just a nuisance to deal with when trying to land smaller species !

Army had a huge depot full of m60 tanks after the Cold War and instead of disposing in a "landfill/graveyard" they decommissioned / stripped em and made them into numerous reefs that are still providing structure for fish today!
