Fishing with a waterspout in the background is the coolest thing.

[@jhetty6094]

Bama, as always, your footage is fantastic. Growing up in the Texas panhandle that shot of the storm starting at 8:00 reminded me of the storms we see on the great plains (without the water but "sea of grass" lol). Hope to experience a fishing adventure like this for myself one day, keep it up my dude!!

[@BamaSaltwater]

Thank you! It's beautiful scenery. I agree about looking like the rolling hill country in Texas. It's actually a beautiful sight to see the front's pushing through vast open land like that ! Appreciate the kind words, tight lines !

[@usausa8839]

[@BamaSaltwater]

Yeah man, definitely under gunned rod wise (but ya make do with what ya got lol). It's incredibly fun and you know, like I do, we don't get many opportunities for calm fishing weather haha! Glad you enjoyed watching .

That water spout and clouds are frightening! Commented before I saw the cooking. That trigger fish looked amazing. My mouth was watering just watching you cook it and taste it. 🐠😋

[@chadskitchen200]

AJ’s will kick your rear! Tighten your drag all the way down and don’t use anything less than 100 # leader. I use 200# leader and it seems to work. Oh yeah, and don’t point the rod tip down. If you do they will smoke you. Love the videos! Keep ‘em coming! Thank you for your service brother! Chad-Birmingham

[@BamaSaltwater]

Yes! They take complete advantage of a weak moment for sure. That drag was so tight, it was cutting my hands to pull it and those giants still ripped it off like nothing ! haha. Thank you much, it was an honor. I'm glad you enjoy the vids. Tight Lines to ya!

[@jackfurness4092]

yea but if you use 200 you'll get nothin but AJs, goliaths, and sharks.

[@larrygolden167]

@@jackfurness4092 thats why you have more than one setup. I watch many of these KZbin guy AJ fishing and struggle to land them. I rarely have one break off the last one that did the drag locked up on the reel.

[@awexpat8943]

Need a heavier rod too, no? Heavier line, heavier everything. I mean, if you're going after that species specifically, you need to be prepared for it. Damn shame to break them off. Malpractice really. If you're going to hunt an animal and take its life, you need to take that seriously and minimize the harm to the extent possible. I ain't fishing for great whites with a cane pole.

Hey bama! Can you do a video on what to look for in a fishing spot and how you go about catching live baits, pretty much just any suggestions for newbies. Just a suggestion as you seem to be one of the most knowledgeable fishing pages on KZbin & it would really help my as someone staring out ❤️

Love the video, as always. That topwater fishing is awesome. Keep it up. Can't wait until the next one!!

[@joedennehy386]

Hey bro in New Zealand we have kingfish to 120lb. Big brother of amberjack. We use 80lb braid with 130 lb trace. No swivel a pr knot tied with a bobbin. But enough trace, maybe 8' so that when we cast our finger is on the trace not the braid. Saves your finger. The reels we use are penn slammers, daiwa saltigas, and of course Stella's. If you watch the lateral line on you tube you will see. Episode 36 is amazing

[@tomnorman6279]

Great day of fishing!!!! Love it and wish I was there with you.

[@jimmyhowell8609]

Okay my friend. I love watching because I am a real fish head just like you. Other than that I'm a French chef. Just wanted to share a couple things with you. Fish is ready to turn over as soon as it has a little white ring around the perimeter of it. Same for chicken. If you want perfect fish look for the White Ring flip it cook it for almost the same amount of time on the other side. You're over cooking your fish and it could be even better than what you're doing. Also it doesn't make any sense to put a whole stick of butter on a flat top if you're just going to rake it all off. You should just get the stick and move it around on the flat top and then pick it up that way you don't waste the whole stick. Season the fish on both sides with salt and pepper and or whatever it is you use to season it with before it goes in the egg wash and the panko. Makes it taste a lot better. Whenever you're going to use panko, put a little squirt of oil or butter whatever you're using on the side you're getting ready to flip it on to. You hardly use any butter whatsoever so the second side doesn't get any. The knife you use to clean your fish desperately needs sharpening. I can see it when you use it. You can tell when you try to fillet the skin off and it catches and takes off chunks of Flesh. Sharpen that baby razor Sharp. Appreciate the good attitude that you have and wish that I lived in an area like that so I could do the same. I'm in Martinsville Virginia. Keep up the good work.
