I'm glad to see Crystal back and I hope you two stay together forever. I like to see the whole family and it doesn't matter if you travel or do the simplest daily things. I watch it all.

[@evelyng7334]

❤omg i feel the same way I love the videos with just them four they are my favorite youtube family REAL, but sometimes "everyone" needs to take a break and readjust and press the reset button Much Respect when that is done!❤❤❤

[@jimihendrix5576]

​@@evelyng7334 I agree and all Gabe needs to do when someone takes a break is say the person will be back in a month or whatever, but never just ignore it because that causes speculation and negativity.

I have no intention of EVERY filming for a KZbin video but this was one of your best drops. Sitting on the couch, you and Crystal so comfortable together and just being real, God Bless and Merry Christmas.

[@barkertownboyz5928]

Jake saying grace at the being set the tone for another amazing video. Glad all y'all had a MERRY CHRISTMAS!

[@chrisgreen177]

Here's the thing Gabriel... We love you and your brother's channels. You have viewers who live vicariously through watching you do things that none of us could never do, and we love that. It's when you do something that we all can relate to that we CAN do where we are. That's when we and all the others like us 'Come out of the Woodwork' like roaches when the lights come on to watch it, take tips from it, dream it up and plan through the motivation that you and your brother illustrates on video for us. The Bluegill, Crappie, CATFISH videos is enough to get us up and out on the waters in our states and get busy, lol. The lobstering, crabbing, deep sea saltwater fishing, trips from Florida to the Bahamas IN YOUR OWN BOAT to catch fish is AMAZING! Most of us have to book a flight or catch a cruise, but you're doing it all on your own, and that's special for us viewers (Well, 'ME') to see. I'm following you on your road to 1 Million Subs, just as I've been following your brother Rob since his Alligator cleaning video over a decade ago. Keep it up brother, because you're on your way. And, Crystal is a 'God Send'. Her personality and you twos chemistry is an added bonus! Good Bless!!

[@josebaez8451]

I agree..

[@helmuthessler1758]

To be honest, I was starting crying for your Happiness that you and Crystal are back together, you´re the best couple to be with, I was so sad when I heard you was splitting up. I couldent watch your Videos for 4 weeks. But I was praying that you come back together. I am very sensetief and emotional, and I feel the love that you have for each other. To be honest I am so happy now that was for me the Best Christmas present. I Love you so much and your Kids to. My best wishes for you, from me Helmut from Berlin, Germany!🥰😍🙏🙏

[@Coopsfixeruppershop]

Very interesting! It’s odd, I’ve heard Cleetus talking about fewer huge vids is how some big guys make it, but I agree there is strength in numbers! And, so happy to see Beachy back, can’t wait for the next vid!

[@GreatRajsel]

Congrats. Hard work pays off

[@KHAZ-tl4pt]

This episode is as real as anyone can honestly expect. Finally, a truthful bit of feedback as to what KZbinrs of your caliber are actually making. And how much work and expenses, go into making what you do. Really puts things into perspective. Im a business man and I know other business people that have made a million bux. But their expenses were $900,000, and a ridiculous amount of labor hours (just an example). THAT"S what people need to understand. OK so a person can say they made a million in total dollars, but if it cost them 900,000 to make that million.... well then the reality of saying "I made a million" doesnt portray the honest message of perceived wealth to the general public. This episode, really puts "a million bux" more into perspective. Not only did you do a great job with this episode, you do a great job of continuing to show that its not all about the money, its about doing a job in your life that you love, and sharing that with others. Happy New Year Gabe, Crystal, and family. Dont change thing. You guys keep doing what your doing, and continue making a decent living (well deserved), and we followers get treated to one of best KZbinrs on the entire internet!

[@thecoach21]

As a business consultant, I saw what you saw when viewing this video. It was a great display of the backend of his business that I was always curious about.

[@sdlangdon7468]

Nice to see Crystal again. Your life is hectic and she has her own business and life. I imagine it is extremally difficult for her (or anyone) to go at your pace and still maintain their own identity. Robert came to KZbin with TV/camera experience. You learned from the ground up. It was good of Robert to help you understand the business. Thanks for sharing the KZbin tips and tricks. There enough in our world that people can be successful in most any subject on KZbin.

[@johnhanshe7921]

Glad to see that you’re truly still together. Crystal is a great asset and the two boys also bring great joy.

Beautiful blessing Jake amen God bless yall

I'm glad to see Crystal back. You have your smile back God bless

[@user-ve9yu2kh6b]

crystal and gabe are meant for each other glad she is back from visiting her family hope she had a great time i would rather hunt for fish with you guys then do what gabe does to get good quailty videos out be safe and take care

[@T_Humphries]

My jaw dropped open when Crystal popped up on screen!! That was the BEST Christmas gift!! Congrats on the "Million Dollars" BUT now lets work on that MILLION subscribers!!

[@gilbertdelgado6703]

Great video content, my favorite part though is when you and Crystal ware sitting side by side discussing the nuts and bolts of making things work. It just seemed real, like we all were sitting with you both in your living room. I think content like that is what keeps people watching. And, by the way, it was so nice seeing Crystal again, I missed her doing her stuff and making me laugh. Have a great and successful 2024!

[@ryankoehler3170]

Great prayer by Big Jake. Glad to see Crystal back

[@muzakkau]

Very glad to Crystal are back. Dear God make both of them falling in love everyday forever and be a loving family. Looking forward to see more video of them together. I love watching when Luke, Jack and Crystal together. ❤❤❤

[@tonyyelverton92]

I’m watching this 2 days after Christmas and I have to tell you that seeing you and Crystal together on Christmas Day has blessed my heart. What a late Christmas gift!!! I’m so proud for the success you have earned! Keep up the great work! And, take that beautiful Crystal and never look back!

[@evelyng7334]

Crystal is the blessed one Gabe is amazing man sometimes he just doesnt realize it!❤

[@dvnbssl0735]

Glad to see Beachy back! Loved the honesty and transparency of this video. What’s sucks about YT as a whole is that no matter how ethical, legal, and everything else you do it, you still can’t show the whole hunting and fishing process. Most of your fans and viewers know what comes after the harvest, but we can’t see it due to YT not understanding it. I like watching how folks catch, CLEAN, and cook game. I learn a lot. But you can’t show and share it without it impacting your livelihood! YT need to get some good ole boys and girls in there to review the videos for negative, illegal, unethical, or banned content. Would be a plus for all of us! Thanks for all you do, Gabe. Big fan from KY.

[@evelyng7334]

Oh but YT will let you show what is considered soft porn, which really doesnt exist anymore perversion is perversion!

[@gungadinn]

You can show the blood and guts, but not on the same channel as the one you're making money on, as it's going to be age restricted. You make no money on age or advertiser restricted channels.

[@evelyng7334]

Yes Crystal vlog style family vlogs!!! Good idea❤

So glad to see Crystal back. She adds so much to you and the content. Love watching the both of you.

Brother, THANK YOU for breaking this down honestly. I honestly haven't seen anyone else break it down like you did. I'm very happy for your success, y'all deserve it. I hope you had a "MERY CHRISTMAS 🎄🎁, and I hope you have a great "NEW YEAR".

Love hearing that boy bless the food! Thank you Gabe for the content you put out there. My 10 year old and I watch every video and every night he says “dad, let’s see if Blue Gabe has a new video”. God bless you and the family! Also, food to see Beachy back!

So glad to see Crystal back on board. Awesome content. My #1 KZbin subscription is Bluegabe. Wished you would do a subscriber hog hunt giveaway/crappie trip. 2-3 days. Be a awesome appreciation for the dedicated subs. Appreciate it all oh. Happy New Year

[@JusDirtfishin]

Congratulations on the hard work. Sounds like it’s paying off. As a KZbinr also. Just in a different section of KZbin. It takes a lot of work and like you say. You have to be willing to do the work and time it takes. As a family man it’s difficult to share the time with family and go out and make videos to upload as needed.

I love all of your videos but I have to say this is one of your best. Such a great breakdown of how it all works. I look forward to the next one!!

[@cfishernb]

All of your videos are incredible. Your whole family is amazing. I actually feel like part of your family when I watch your videos or Rob's videos. I didn't have any doubts about you and Crystal but seeing her cute smile and bubbly personality again was just so wholesome. Take the time and space you need Crystal but pop in and say hi from time to time. We absolutely love you. Keep crushing it Gabe, excited to see what 2024 brings. Don't be afraid to take a break yourself though. If you're worried about uploads then make some cheap easy local videos and queue them for upload. You said it best yourself in this video, sometimes a plain simple video beats an expensive fancy video. You're one of my top content creators if not the top. I know that's not saying much but when I sub to hunting, fishing, outdoor, yugioh, coin, car, weather, science, music channels ect. it's pretty impressive in my eyes. I follow many fishing/hunting/outdoor channels. They cover the northeast, the south and southeast, a bit of midwest actiong, a little rockies taste, some west coast action, and a couple in the southwest and alaska. On top of that, a few UK channels, one based mainly in central america, and a couple great aussie channels. Out of all of those you upload the most frequently, highest level of content, longest videos, and most variety. Best of all I get to watch a mix of stuff I love. With you I get fishing, crabbing, shrimping, a little adventure, managing land, hunting, travel, a wholesome and loving family. You literally do take us on the adventure with you. I feel immersed while watching along and feel as if I were there.. except for eating all that delicious food. I've been trying to step it up with my support for my favorite content creators. The best part is that it's entirely free. I used to never like videos but this year I've been trying to drop likes on all videos of my regularly watched youtubers. Any fans that read this and love this content I suggest you try the same. Drop a like on the video. It's free and takes less than a second. It doesn't do much but when thousands of us hit that like button it really does make a huge difference.
