Who else watching bama eating dinner ?

[@2GSpyderTurbo]

Drinking a cold beer while dinner is cooking and watching Bama is my schedule personally.

[@jasonwhitman94]

Double ribeye night

[@wethepeople3670]

I'm dropping a ✌️

[@2GSpyderTurbo]

@@wethepeople3670 that's the only other reasonable task to be doing.

[@JacobMoy-ij5om]

​@2GSpyderTurbo not me I'm on a work break . Oh yeah I live in Hawaii haha

[@Reactionalz]

I'm gonna be honest... I've been having a pretty rough day and sat down to watch some KZbin, but had no desire or motivation to watch anything. When I saw you uploaded a new video though, just that alone cheered me up a bit. Thanks for being a stark contrast to the other content out there, Stephen! There's just something so genuine and wholesome about your videos that never cease to put a smile on my face. Keep it up!

[@366atticus]

I second this!

[@bret_pinkerton]

Very true!

[@BamaSaltwater]

I'm glad I can share!!! Thank you for the kind words and I hope you continue to cheer up!!! God Bless!

[@nicomeier8098]

His vids are always fun to watch, very uplifting!

[@KayleeG0]

Yeah absolutely Steven is incredibly gifted and genuine. Love all his vids

[@goodcitizen64]

Thanks brother! I love going fishing with you through your videos!

[@kennyburaker9013]

Thank you! Another great video and other fantastic day of fishing.

[@BPhillips4gg]

I cannot wait to move down there and start learning to fish the gulf. Thank you for the fun video. Also, side note, when I pray before meals I make sure to thank God for the uni/double uni knot. So glad to see someone else who appreciates it, even if that means less fish for me to catch.

[@josephmadden696]

Love your content keep up the great work you inspire me a lot for fishing

[@leehowell4258]

Awesome content like always Steven! Always get excited when I see a notification for a new video from Bama Saltwater! Nice catches and those Bonita were huge!! Nice catches and as always thank you for letting us tag along! Really helps fill the gap between trips to the coast!

[@jeffreydenson4032]

Thanks for posting the video. I have learned so much from watching you fish. I really appreciate you.

[@GAbassmaster]

Great video, your videos are always fun to watch and you learn more about fishing by watching them

[@G-Force_70]

Great segment, non-stop action. Thank you

[@anthonyharper8161]

Great video , awesome fishing ! Thanks so much.. Amazing looking fish.

[@stevenmcadams6621]

It’s amazing and awesome how your channel has grown. You have the best content period. Sure hope they start the pier repairs soon. 👍🏻🤙🏻

[@mikecampingforfun5226]

Thanks brother! I love going fishing with you through your videos!. Great fisherman and awesome personality, k

[@angelakaye8906]

I enjoyed this time with you so much last night I am watching it again. On TV last night and not sure how to do anything but watch, but you gave it all on this one. I absolutely love it. Your awesome interaction and explaining I so enjoy. That boat ride, that beautiful Sun on the Gulf water, I will be saving this one to watch daily to put a smile on my face and I just feel more peaceful after spending time with you on the water, it is soooo cool and so are you!! Thank you so much for sharing and Yes, We Thank The Good Lord Above For All He Has Done For Us!! (sorry so long)

[@rachelwhite9382]

I really enjoy how much you laugh while catching a fish!!! Living your best life! Thank you for your not overwhelming information. It’s just right in my opinion.

[@patrickgreen2361]

Awesome video. Slidell, LA. Envy your closeness from house to offshore fishing. For me, usually a 2-3 hour drive, then 2-3 hour boat ride each way. You keep me motivated!

[@itzreece6347]

My Thursday evening has just been made even better. Get to sit back and watch some dang good fishing from Bama Saltwater 😎.

[@birddog0077]

These off shore videos rock! Nice job!

[@BamaSaltwater]

Thank you!! It's incredibly fun to get out there and trying to take advantage of the calm weather as I can!

[@jamescoleakaericunderwood2503]

I learned to put a drip bucket over my bait bucket...the drip drip drip keeps em alive!

[@vinceglauser4770]

Great fishing. You can't miss with live croaker.

[@justinM88]

Great great video. Keep them coming 👍🏻👍🏻

[@danmcalinden8728]

Your not afraid to put pressure on Steve , love your videos , keep em coming’ , fishing here in ireland is not what it used to be but your videos make up for what we don’t have

[@CarolDailey]

Steven, love your content, as always! Thanks so much for showing how to bleed out a fish! I'm moving to FL in a few weeks and so can't wait to learn how to fish! God bless!

[@travissmith5525]

Made my night,soon as I saw my notice. As always, Thanks for sharing!

Bama saltwater fishing I've been watching you on KZbin TV I appreciate your fishing I love that kind of fishing what you do I used to live in Florida I'm living up here in Branson Missouri now keep on fishing buddy

[@cross9494]

Your video's have a effect on people who fish! Fishing Wheeler Lake today I caught so many white bass on so many different baits my arms got tired! had a lot of fun and that's what it's all about!!! Thanks for all you do!!

[@markmclaughlin2690]

I have fished a lot on the Mississippi Coast all in shore off piers etc. I had never caught a Jack before. Once I was fishing off the seawall on Cedar Point in Bay St Louis. Had some love bait out and was fishing close for pin fish and croaker for bait. Hooked a 30 in Jack it almost spooled me. The reel I was using gave it up at the end but the Ugly Stick lived on. When you said they will fight almost to the death I never knew that until that day it was the 1st Jack I ever caught. At the end I was worn out and so was the Jack. It took a while after I got it back in the water to get it to swim off. I watched/ listened to your video on the way to work. Thanks for good clean content. Honor and Courage D 3/8 1992- 1994. Wish you the best!

[@SuellenGoncalves]

This place is incredible, it has big fish, congratulations you are a great fisherman. hug here hug. God be with you!👍

[@tracymeadows3442]

Bro You Have Been On Fire Lately 🤙🏻 Definitely Some Incredible Fishing!! That Jack Was Awesome !!! GOD BLESS YOU STEVEN…

[@user-hg4zh7sg4o]

Hey Stephen, I have watched most of your videos and have enjoyed them. I especially enjoy the cast h and cook episodes. It shows that you put a lot of effort into your channel. Keep up the good work. I’ve been fishing for 55 years and I can tell you have a passion like I did. Be careful and please wear a life jacket especially when you are solo .

[@user-MRG1130]

Great video, and congrats on the sponsors. That’s awesome, and well deserved, I’ll see ya next upload, BOL. 🙏🏻🇺🇸

[@BamaSaltwater]

Thank you much!!!

[@davidmohr1063]

Good hookups Enjoyed the video today my friend. Stay safe and tight lines.

[@Richie8989]

I wish I could fish those bodies of water. The fishes up here north are quite tough to get and they’re deep. Nice catch.

[@samsiryani9023]

Great stuff as usually, love it.

[@josevasquez8929]

Thanks for your amazing fishing videos Steven. I live in Chile and use to catch tunas in my zodiac boat as well. I always learn alot from You.

[@__WJK__]

Great Video! Regarding the heartburn you mentioned you had, if you're taking antacids STOP and start taking high quality organic apple cider vinegar at the beginning of every meal. It's available in liquid, low-sugar gummies & pill form. You might also want to consider taking high potency "multi-strain" probiotics as well, just make sure to take the probiotics accordingly a/k/a with vegetables/fruits NOT with protein (nor apple cider vinegar) since those things will reduce the probiotics effectiveness - You can thank me later :^)

[@BamaSaltwater]

Thank you, good to hear!

[@joshuakeys411]

100% Change your diet or it will not go away! Antacids make it worse, welcome to getting older 🤓

[@slamvibes]

much love brother - love your videos and your overall positive energy. super appreciate how you always share your lures/bait, retrieve, tackle/rigging/jigs. If you ever make it to St Pete and wanna go out sometime hit me up!!

[@sumplacehigh]

Just wanted to say I love your videos brother keep up the good work

[@fishmanfishman6511]

Hook up on the first cast of the morning is always exciting!👍

[@stevedosier1829]

Great video! A lot of people think that bonito is a trash fish. Properly bled and chilled, they make excellent sashimi, poke, grilled fillets, and smoked fish. Glad to see you give it the respect it deserves. Keep up the good work!

[@sb350allday]

Thank you for the great content

[@Chrishughes215]

I love your Alabama ocean fishing video

[@leroymorris6036]

That was a big Jack! Thanks.

[@stripermanly]

Good job Steven! I was headed that way next month but opted to do a challenge fishing Great Lakes salmon using nothing but what I make from my kayak. I have to catch one trolling my lures, jigging my lures and casting my lures. Challenge accepted. Will have to plan a 2024 trip down that way next year.

[@landonoliver]

Thanks for the video. 👍

[@billlake7781]

Great fishing day brother

[@jaxkisos2254]

i want you to know that you made my day, it has been a rough cuple days and you really helped me.

[@Pocong_Ngesot]

you have fun guys

[@kedalemac]

That plethora of artificial lures were amazing. Another successful trip! 🙌 I need to taste those little tunas

[@70snowman]

Channel is growing so much homie! Great vid as always.

[@jor4288]

Respect your hustle. Point Clear / Fairhope checking in.

[@ivanscottw]

To make it quicker to gather some of the bait fish .. Why not chum it a bit around the docks.. grind some leftover fish at the bottom of the freezer (just step on them or something, no need to be extra subtle or anything).. wait a few minutes - plenty of blue crabs (yeah - got to release the juveniles) , croakers, pinfish, fatbacks or whatever comes around.. even mullets may come up.. in a matter of a few minutes with very little effort (I know, it's tough for you with that bad shoulder) - I may be wrong... just an idea, that's all ! If you think what I'm saying is wrong, let me know, I'll remove it ! On a side note - Croackers are probably the most underestimated fish in those waters (My water is when I could the NC outer banks) ! They are delicious, easy to catch from 3yo to 133yo.. They take anything you show them - wonder of the seas - used as bait, used as a good meal ! Sure a bit of bone here and there just be careful - and it's good eating ! My favorite fish was always Bluefish (Pomatomus Saltatrix) - really fun to catch - good eating when fresh ! But they don't seem to venture in the Gulf of Mexico !

[@AntonioXRollercoasters]

Perfect timing always watch him during dinner

[@giancarloquercetti5285]

Great Video!!!!! From Argentina, very nice fish!!!

[@lukeharmon4688]

Look forward to your videos every day

[@Dec1duousTree]

I want to see you cook a giant jack and a bonita! How do you prepare those?!? Great video! Thanks for sharing.

[@Micahaj236]

[@Anglerkku88]

It's great bro.. Best Fishing

[@welovesaltwater]

Love your content! 🙌

[@JamesSmith-rm6to]

That’s the most fun you can have with your cloths on awesome video brother

[@clearwaterboating]

Another awesome video! What’s crazy I never noticed your boat was a Clearwater boat. I have the 2200 and she does great!

[@scottweidner1613]

Those were some really nice fish 👍👍 Gota be fun with fish that fight that hard!!!

[@BamaSaltwater]

Incredibly fun for sure!!

[@Laut157]

it's great fun fishing in the sea with lots of fish, great friends get lots of them😅

[@monster-pq7ln]

Sitting here in 107 degree weather in California wishing I was fishing for little tunny with you. We have Bonito here on the west coast that are very similar. I love eating them but many don't.

[@inquirer1016]

Really enjoy your video and am a bit envious. When I go fishing, the only thing I catch is a cold.

[@Runsfrombears]

Great vid buddy. Yer making me want to move down there haha

[@iandtexarkana4549]

How about an episode on shrimping, showing technique and gear

[@cryptoc2558]

DO A CATCH N COOK EPISODE!!

[@JukeYou_]

Hey man, planning a trip coming down soon! Do you do any charters or anything? I’d love to take a simple trip like this with me and my brother in law, let me know!

[@youknoweverything7643]

Early fall is a great time to cast net for nice size alabama Gulf Coast shrimp that are actually eatig size. I have a spot where i can fill up a whole cooler in the matter of a hour with 10-14 size shrimp which means they are 10-14 shrimp per pound they are massive inuse half for love bait and other half for shrimp boil. Gotta love living on the Alabama gilf coast where you can cast net for bait and shrimp legally unlike other states

[@hxhdfjifzirstc894]

Wow, that was a big old Jack Crevalle! I've heard they're pretty good, if you cook them right.

[@ericshideler1849]

Thanks!

[@Tina37212]

Hey Stephen. Can you please show us how you wash your boat? Removing fish and blood stains? I've always wanted to see that, thanks. Love your vids.

[@victorsantana4773]

Love that you showed that you should bleed the fish. Have you heard of IKE Jime to kill the nerves. They sell tools for it, I use a guitar string I have tied to my pliers. It tastes so much better and can last in your freezer longer if you just take one extra step.

[@Alex-zs7rv]

Awesome vid!!!

[@BamaSaltwater]

Thanks !

[@PolochAngriff]

Any Bama Saltwater sponsor is going to get my business.

[@centralbankofmemes2332]

i swear man, this guys lives the dream, great video brother

[@3Dgulfcoastfishing]

I love your videos I am a huge fan of you i watch your videos every day

[@mike8610]

This is my dream life here man. I get down to the gulf about 2-3x a year for vacation but want to live down there so bad.

[@masterobamium7262]

Talking about casting at birds, next to the golf course on dauphin island on the beach, there was a massive blitz of cravale jacks and bull reds chasing pogies when I went last Saturday. There was so many of them I got lures cut off by other fish when fighting those big jacks, and yeah loosing 40 bucks worth of lures and having nothing to fish with doesn’t feel great 😭😭😭

[@jdcmd524]

When you gaffed that jack, it looked like you stoned him..the perfect gaff..well done

[@successnsobriety9851]

Man I'm on the east coast in Massachusetts. I wish we had those kind of fish close.

[@maxbad99]

Hey Steve, could you do a video or comment on the pros and cons of a scout 177 and a carolina skiff. I’m torn between which to get. I mainly inshore fish and would carry just a few people with me. Loved the video btw. Been a subscriber since the beginning!

[@nevadabadger7925]

Greetings from Reno, Nevada.

[@joergonsr]

Are you ever gonna make a video on a jubilee?Lots of em happening this time of year. Great video as always brother!

[@BamaSaltwater]

Maybe! Just gotta be there right time, right place. Thank you!
