[@jettschaefer7974]

So hyped for these florida vids

[@FishAholicTV]

Awesome glad to hear!!

[@theevilg3nius]

I’m not a jealous person but is because Florida have about 65778758788854888484858485 species of fish to catch. Shhiiiiet there invasive species is more exciting than 10 species we catch in NY. If lucky we get an occasional cobia etc

[@stephenreppert4153]

You're a way better fisherman than I am but you gotta bow that rod when they jump! Bow to the king!!

[@Nigel_BC]

I’m not doubting that you already know this but I think you keep losing the Tarpon because you don’t bow when they jump. It could also be the fact that they are tarpon and they are hard to hook as well. Anyways awesome video man! So hyped for this video series!

[@nickbaer6584]

When I grow up (although I'm probably twice your age) I wanna be just like you, you my friend are living the dream and I am envious every day. It's ok still, cause I live vicariously though you, lol

[@FishAholicTV]

Haha 😆 as I get older though I’m starting be envious of others who have what I don’t so I think it goes both ways. But I’m loving life every second of it on the water.

Nice of you to say where your at! For us that only maybe get to run down there once in a blue moon, it really help to get pointed in the right area. Thanks and Great job.

Been trying to come up with a dream yak trip for my wife and I. These vids with actual locations are awesome!

[@danielstephenson146]

WOW that intro is freaking EPIC! Can't wait for this series :)

[@FishAholicTV]

Haha thanks glad to hear you liked it!! It’s going to change slightly with every video though because I have some much content. 🤙🏻

[@bruceallen4460]

Got into fishing with kayak . Then wanted to follow kayak videos. Yours are great. It’s a great idea to fish different area for us viewers. Like Murielle’s inlet. Thanks Bruce Allen

[@Powell_Kayak_Fishing]

Exciting footage of hunting those little tarpon!

[@g-style4466]

totally dig the underwater footage

[@block3737]

Tarpon are such cool fish aerial acrobats and even the small ones fight with such vigor

[@coreyjbeats1357]

Super excited for this series! It’s beautiful out there!

[@pfestate]

So, for as long as I’ve been a fan and a follower, I always get excited when KZbin notifies me of your newest post. You truly let us feel the experiences as if we’re along for the ride. This was a great day for you...sunshine and quiet waters and lots of fishy business. Thanks as always Rich! State safe and as always LTF...FTL👊🏼

[@johndonovan7334]

Looking forward to rest of series, always best fishing videos.

[@fvckinfool101]

I love the Florida keys, I used to go there often as a kid on fishing trips. Even when we didn’t catch anything the trip was still well worth it.

[@CatchingDinosaurs]

that first tarpon under the bridge was a nice fish

[@TomMendoladrums]

Fishing paradise! Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@lj122476]

Super pumped about these keys vids. Ill be down in marathon at the end of next week.

Good stuff Rich. I'm very much looking forward to this series and your time in Florida.

Thanks Brad!! I’m looking forward to hearing you all enjoyed them and are hungry for more!! Tight Lines!

[@randymorris8740]

Team Vudu for the win... LOL Vudu Shrimps work great in fresh water too, I use them in Lake Erie with great results...

That was a great video!! I look forward to the others :)

[@FishAholicTV]

Awesome thanks! Glad to hear!!

[@garylostinspace8500]

I never fished in warm oceanic waters, needless to say, you catch a lot of fish on my bucket list and Tarpon is definitely one of them. Great video and really clear, clean waters!

[@joethebourbonman]

Great video! I feel like the mangrove snapper down in the keys are way more aggressive than when you find them in other parts of Florida-rare to get one on artificial up on the gulf coast.

[@MchaelTeeter]

Man your drone is a game changer! You qualify of footage is great 👍! Tight lines 🎣

[@kurtwolhuter2209]

Keep up the good fishing love you videos

[@30ATV]

Gotta get you over to our 30A- Destin area -- when you see the tarpon jump push the rod down towards the fish to give it line and it wont pop the hook as easy. Fun times !

[@udontknowball]

Enjoy this series every year!!

Killer video! It was great meeting you today, hope you found a few fish!

I’m a huge fan... I’m headed to the Keys to fish in a week and I was 100% inspired by your previous videos, I ordered some Vudu Shrimp too 😉. You also were my inspiration to start Kayak fishing. Keep it up.

[@eddiearrington8086]

The difference between he and most, is this guy knows that we are here to do what we love. When that happens, life takes care of itself. Don’t believe the programming! We deserve as much joy, health and happiness as we can take. Peace to you and yours…

Awesome videos at always dude! Stoked on the Keys Series. Keeping us Californians jealous haha 🤙

Thanks Angel! Glad to hear 4 more episodes to come! And more long drag screaming reels as the days go on. I’ve gotta fish Cali one of these days so you got me there.

I love too watch you fish while i eat. Good entertainment. Should of kept that red snapper for lunch!

[@reelinshore4968]

Yet to land a tarpon on a kayak. Been pulled around a bunch but they seem to always spit the hook. When they hit the canals where I’m at I’m landing one this year. Epic day keep up the slaying fishing days.

[@jesuscabahug8753]

Those snappers looked delicious

[@Killemgrillem00]

Was just going to suggest collapsable canvas water buckets to slow the YaK down when your Nantucket sleigh riding. Then you put the peddle in reverse. Such efficient rigs. I always had a problem putting the end of the fight pressure on the big fish. Nothing better than exploring the keys on a yak.

I think Florida has some of the best fishing in the country! I hope to go some day and do some fishing.

[@fvang4751]

Have to say that Florida is a 10 and cali is a 5 in variety and numbers Even better than MN in my opinion Easy fishing is Tamiami Canal for bass and peacock bass in Spring time. I plan to hit Tampa soon..

[@Tagcabosportfishing]

I need to go catch one of them fish !

[@jakeromano21vball13]

I have never personally tarpon fished, but everyone says you have to bow to the king (rod tip down when they jump). May help keep more of them hooked! Then again, you do this for a living

[@simmonscarl1]

Tarpon always looked pissed.

[@jborselli15]

Ballsy bringing a certate out in the kayak dude! I would be paranoid about something happening to it lol

[@FishAholicTV]

Haha yeah I take chances I shouldn’t. I’ve lost my van Staal before but then dove down 25ft and got it. Never brought that in the kayak again 👍🏻

[@FishAholicTV]

Haha I’ve had a lot of years of practice from standing on slippery wet rocks in rough surf to owning an outback since I was 16. My balance is pretty good and the kayak is like an extension of myself lol 😆

Nice looks like fun! Curious what weight line you use on each rod?? (Rapala vs finesse worm)

Rich your intro was sick................

Keep em comin! When you were landing that tarpon, I was anticipating a shark attack!

[@FishAholicTV]

Next episode!! Gotta tease a little right 🤷🏻‍♂️. Otherwise why come back hahaha.

[@cadencupisz7816]

When the tarpon jump “bow to the king” or put the rod tip to the water. It will help with the slack and it will be harder for them to spit the hook. The line will raise when they are about to jump that is when you (bow down) or put the rod tip to the water.

[@furiangameclips]

Gotta 'bow to the king' when they jump..tarpon are nicknamed 'silver king' at least where i live..

[@heatherbaker3460]

Great video! What kind of shoes are you wearing? My husband is looking for water/wading shoes. Thanks!

waw.. nice, 🤙🎣👍

There is absolutely no way to be bored in Florida , fishin, sAlt and fresh, spear fishing for tilapia and barramundi , snakeheads , peacock bass in the sewers lol. pythons in the bathroom , gator , яHogzilla, and now suddenly everyone is an iguana hunter . I’d have the coolest apex predator show. Diddlly gonna bite me lol

[@dawnsredemptiongaming5567]

Always remember to bow to the king

[@goonch7956]

I love me some no name key bridge, possibly my favorite key bridge, hooked a big tarpon there, jumped and snapped my line. And my anchor is still there.

[@FishAholicTV]

Haha sounds about right. But sounds like it was a good outing either way 👍🏻

[@goonch7956]

@@FishAholicTV wana get real close to a tarpon, go to Robbie's and hand feed the tarpon. It was way more fun than I'd thought it would be.

[@JuditdrFulop]

Thats a very nice video . I apsolutly love your fishing videos . but if evry tarpon goes away why you arent jousing triple hooks ?🙃
