My biggest mangrove came from one of the tanks, not quite the size of yours but close. Also caught our limit of red snapper, and put back some 20 plus pounders at a tank a few years ago. Good video!

Hi bama I love your videos but can u go to maryland and surf fish because i never really know what to throw out there for bait. But great vid god bless❤️✝️

[@rickmiller2244]

Stephen, how did you learn to cook so well and use all those spices? Great video as usual.

[@BamaSaltwater]

Experiencing different cultures around the globe while in the service and also younger! It's amazing seeing the variety of cooking methods used across the world. My #1 favorite food type is Indian Food, Chinese and Thai fall closely behind lol

[@billytripp4849]

Hey Stephen do you gut your fish before you fillet them? Love the videos. God bless you.

[@BamaSaltwater]

I do not, but I spike and bleed. Honestly, it depends what species of fish for me

[@lustilyyt2479]

i have a question, what should i do if i gut hook an undersized fish or out of season fish and it passes?

[@loriekiskaden8819]

Your scenery is beautiful how long have you lived on the bay

[@BamaSaltwater]

It really is, and all through high school until I joined the Army and it was tough leaving my beautiful home! It's a blessing to be back !

[@justinM88]

Hey capt Stephen I will be down in July any way I can pick up some BAMA saltwater stickers plz.

[@terryluck3]

Stephen, How long will croaker or pinfish live in an aerated bait cooler? do i need a larger cooler for bigger baits? I dont have a live well on my sailboat and will want to drop sail and fish for dinner

[@BamaSaltwater]

It depends on how big and the water temp. Keep the temp cool and make sure its big and you can keep em for a day.. but they need room for sure

[@lisagibson9257]

Hey, what size jig were you using when you caught that mangrove? I checked bird of prey and I could only find three-quarter ounces the smallest - thanks as always.
