Found a Canal Loaded With Crazy Tarpon - Florida Keys Fishing Experience Day 1

[@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!!

[@rrgH20polo]

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.

[@ramrodrymensnyder2648]

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

[@coreyjbeats1357]

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

[@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.

[@fishingwithohdad]

Tarpon are the top of my bucket list. Great action.

[@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!

[@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. 🤙🏻

[@cinderellie8]

@@FishAholicTV stoked!

[@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👊🏼

[@CatchingDinosaurs]

that first tarpon under the bridge was a nice fish

[@randymorris8740]

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

[@chadhilburn5687]

Chills down my spine. Only way to describe that little intro! Great work brotha!

[@FishAholicTV]

Haha awesome! I change slightly with every new episode so look forward to that. I have so 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

[@theevilg3nius]

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

[@dieguezsnook3209]

Congratulations brohter 👍💪😃 Puerto San José Guatemala 🇬🇹👏👏🎣

[@LastChanceFossil]

You’ve got some precision with your aim, my goodness. Thank you for the upload

[@GatorBallLegends]

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

[@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 !

[@Powell_Kayak_Fishing]

Exciting footage of hunting those little tarpon!

[@WilliamKiene]

This is one of my favorite kayak fishing KZbin channels. He fishes bait, live bait, artificial lures, and fly fishing. Subscribe so he can keep it going.

[@udontknowball]

Enjoy this series every year!!

[@g-style4466]

totally dig the underwater footage

[@CJ-sq3di]

Hey man word of advice for jacks, if u grab them and put a finger on each on of those black spots and squeeze it acts like a pressure point and they won’t flop

[@lj122476]

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

[@bradwadefishtx]

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

[@FishAholicTV]

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

[@adinoegroho8726]

This guy is smart for looking the fishing spot. Bravo

[@markmissildine8345]

Just can’t understand not bein’ able to fight the fish with my strong hand, LOL!! Great videos, thanks!!

[@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.

[@brob-zy8zi]

You've got me jonesing for a keys fishing trip now... i love your vids. Subscribed for sure.

[@smiles.5927]

Tarpon's are so much fun to fish , the snappers as well.

[@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.

[@PeaceIsBetter]

Just back from Cedar Key where we were skunked for a week due to a cold spell. Wish we had gone further south like you. Best of luck.

[@johndonovan7334]

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

[@ronles9999]

Another great video Rich!!! The keys are one of my favorite places ever!!!!

[@xingao2057]

The view of key is gorgeous！make this vid like movie

[@anthonyadams9520]

Nice kayak you got there, I wish I could have one for fishing... 😊✌️

[@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!

[@alexguzman2749]

Love watching his dude. Watching from Southern California

[@FishAholicTV]

Awesome thanks Alex for tuning in! It amazes me when a viewer mentions where they’re watching from 🤙🏻

[@thedeadspartans6234]

Great video. Thanks

[@sirjustis]

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

[@FishAholicTV]

Awesome thanks! Glad to hear!!

[@majik_man]

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

[@pavelgeorgiev918]

Great start

[@FishAholicTV]

Thanks Pavel! Gets better as the days go on 👍🏻

[@Roman-mz4tj]

Love these exploring type videos! So sick.

[@heatherbaker3460]

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

[@brianrosado9599]

Beautiful content man. Have you seen any diamondback terrapins while out there?

[@kurtwolhuter2209]

Keep up the good fishing love you videos

[@MchaelTeeter]

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

[@jbarrow8081]

Love this video. Tarpon is such a beautiful fish. What jog head are you using on the fin back shad?

[@tom3141]

Some people call the snook robalo while the snapper or grouper is called pargo last but not least el Tiburon also called shark

[@gbispham]

9:47 You know you're a true fisherman when your reflexes are that good to block a lure while standing in a kayak without batting an eye.

[@FishAholicTV]

Haha tbh it was so hot in that little sheltered area I wouldn’t have cared much if I fell in 😆

[@JuditdrFulop]

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

[@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.

[@jakeromano21]

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

[@ryangramer1345]

Super exited for the new series

[@cadekaufmann650]

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

[@FishAholicTV]

Hey Cade yeah likewise 👍🏻. I found some fish yesterday but nothing crazy. Just enough to keep a couple for the table and have a few fish tacos haha.

[@kevincortez7538]

Been watching your videos since you went to rhode island. You inspired me to fish here in Florida. Love your channel im always waiting for new vids

[@FishAholicTV]

Wow thanks Kevin for sticking around and for the kind words! Glad to hear you look forward to new uploads! I love to read these comments because in the end of the day it will give me more motivation. Tight Lines until next time 👍🏻

[@Damienp22]

where can i get the finback shads? and what size jig head should i use?

[@ElJefe-zu4ee]

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…

[@toddpainter3721]

Rich great vid man as usual

[@djfliproc]

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.

[@joeldube8746]

Whats your gopro hero7 settings? Your videos are much sharper than mines and I'm looking to replace my old hero4

Glad to hear Michael!!

[@TomMendoladrums]

Fishing paradise! Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@RayEveryday]

The intro is fire and good video

[@HomeGr0an]

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

[@journeymandrone8983]

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..

[@kevintimson6591]

How does the breakwater handle in "big" water, white caps and 20+ mph wind? I'm really really wanting to get into kayak fishing but don't want to regret my first purchase.

[@anthonyriello812]

Love the florida videos. Keep em comin

[@FishAholicTV]

Thanks Anthony I’ll try my best 🤙🏻

[@jakenoack6702]

I’m just curious to ask if there is any particular reason that you don’t use a net to land fish? More hassle than what it’s worth in your Hobie?

[@BlercNet]

What equipment do you use for your head Gopro? Thanks in advance.

[@TheKevadodo]

Rich, weird questions but what shoes are you wearing? I'm always on the hunt for some good water shoes and they look right up my alley.

[@marcelagil4530]

What Kayak are you using, I’m relocating to Miami next month.

[@michaelbrausch8874]

How can you resist the temptation to get out and wade fish in the shallows?

[@FishAholicTV]

Well some of the bottom is like a grassy sandy/muddy bottom and you sink in pretty quick. But on day three I do a bunch of flats fishing for Bones.

[@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 👍🏻

[@jborselli15]

@@FishAholicTV have you tried the Vanford yet?

[@Bloodseed22]

You have some impressive balance standing on the outback Rich. I'm alittle afraid to do on my hobie and lose my stuff lol

[@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 😆

[@frankleon6708]

What’s a good setup for jack crevalle

[@ktd1369]

when is the darkmatter going to be available?

[@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.

[@grantmaiden8740]

I’m going to the keys for spring break what would your top 5 baits that aren’t live bait for tarpon and snook ?

Amazing video very beautiful 🤩

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.
