Honestly watching you catch that cobia was amazing. You can tell you're such a good dude and your content is the best fishing content on YT.

[@gamergods2889]

It’s just the facts

[@BamaSaltwater]

I appreciate that for sure !

[@thecedarridgechronicles]

Agreed

[@drbravestone4017]

He also only keeps what he and his family are going to eat! If more fishermen can have this mindset, there will always be plenty for everyone.

[@funyunmaker3182]

That is a nice cobia I agree that is one of the best eating fish out there.

[@livelifetogivelife9462]

Bro! Perfect king and more perfect cobia!!!! I was SO worried about him dragging you back to that chain… I was yelling at you “MAN, GET HIM AWAY FROM THE SHIP!!!” Thank God for the level of success you had on this morning! Very nice

[@allenpeduto2895]

It's amazing that you didn't get upset when that cobia was slapping you silly....it just shows how much respect you have for your profession! Just love for your channel, you're the best on the Internet!❤❤️❤️❤️❤️😄😄😄😄😄😄🦀

[@Rooster_Snuffer]

That big one looks like a cross between a walleye, a catfish and shark. Gorgeous fish, all of them. Bro you are a very fortunate man to be able to do what you do. Thank you for sharing this video with us. It was nice watching a video with ZERO cussing! Thank you for the ‘G’ rated content. I’m in Colorado and I am just getting back into fishing after a couple years off(been busy getting married having kids and then getting divorced) so I have been needing to get out and enjoy Gods beautiful creations and let nature help me heal. I wish I could go with you on a fishing adventure like that. You the man!

[@Fulcrum205]

Cobia are an evolutionary oddball. There aren't any other species in their family. The closest thing they are related to is remoras

[@isopod1490]

Honestly this is the best fishing channel out there! Love how you always include little tips and tricks and 'how to' methods. Helps some not-so seasoned fishers like myself!

[@brandongouge]

I love that you put the bag limit and species in the video. No one else does that and I think it’s great!

[@iktn132]

The amount I’ve learned about saltwater fishing from you is.. insane

[@BamaSaltwater]

That's so awesome to hear. I'm glad I can share my experiences!

Congrats on that nice cobia man. Way to tough it out and get it done despite the weather. This raining and storms everyday is getting old!

My kids and i just love watching your channel and they love fishing and eating fish…also thanx for serving in the armed services…

Stephen, you are such a great fisherman, we love your videos. Speaking as a mother of sons, I think you learned everything you know from your Mom..keep the content coming. Love the area and Mobile Bay.

One of your best videos yet! Keep kickin KZbins butt!

Thank you man!

[@richardrobinson601]

I’ve yet to get a Cobia but I’ve eating one with a friend who shared. I was tired from you wrestling that big fish in! Thanks for the show !

[@racquet1111]

Over the past month I've been dreaming/planning/hoping for a day just like this one and so glad you shared it with us! I have a 23' center console and appreciate you sharing so many tips. Sharing the gear you use and the knots and everything else has been extremely useful and the fact you go offshore on your boat alone means that I can do it, too, with proper preparation and training and just taking it one step at a time. Thank You from a grateful subscriber who kept watching you because of the way you end each video... grateful to our creator for this wonderful inheritance!!

[@BamaSaltwater]

Yes! No need to be intimidated by the salt, just respect nature/weather, and always be prepared for the "worst case scenario". Good luck, Tight Lines, and God Bless.

You always have great content but you out did yourself with this one. The best ones yet. Thanks for all the ways to tie up for these fish. I have been wanting to go to the ships but I have never seen any wire tie techniques before. Keep up the great work!!!!

[@josephmurray4866]

He is wearing you out!

[@jcelcaballocaraballo5395]

[@austinbeuttler4510]

I gotta tell ya, that's cool man! I don't see too many fishing videos where the weather is garbage. It kind of sets the adventurers mood. Really fun to watch! I appreciated it when you stopped fishing because you already caught enough to feed your family. You're a good man. I always only take what I need.

[@gregorystalker6443]

Excited about you starting a charter service. You’ll be getting my business. It’ll be a boat full of veterans

[@Duschbag]

Freshwater Bass Fisherman here. I honestly did not know that it would be so easy to hand tie a Haywire Twist with wire. I thought it would take at least some pliers to hold it as well as twist it but you did it so quickly. 👍 A Guide in the Keys taught me how to tie a Bimini Twist while fishing for Tarpon & Bonefish and I've used it for heavy Catfish but never wire. I enjoy your videos as soon as you post them. 🤙

[@pered406]

My family and I look forward to your videos every time. One weekend we binged watched every single one of them. 😆 We thoroughly enjoy the content, humbleness, great positive attitude, and respect for your craft. Thank you for giving a glimpse of what you enjoy doing.

[@BamaSaltwater]

That's awesome! I'm glad I can share my experiences on the water with ya'll!! Appreciate the support

[@aaronroyalty9779]

First and foremost, thank you for your service! We love watching your videos. We love how informative you are, what you are using for tackle, how you tie your rigs up. You are a great teacher. Beautiful catch! Congratulations!

[@michaelsmothers1939]

Hey Bama oh Tennessee boy here man that was a long trip out to the rigs went about 50 in a 28 got rough on the way back glad to see dock ha ha new to your channel retired now so got the time love watching and listening to ya missed my saltwater trips this year so I'm jealous you catch some nice fish keep up the good work big guy best show on the tube real stuff

Brother, I'm in California and our fishing is very different than yours; however, I love watching you conquer your local catches. I'm learning a lot. The fish looks delicious. Hope to visit someday. Thanks for posting such great videos. Glad you're having success. God bless you!

[@BamaSaltwater]

Thanks man!!

I absolutely love this episode! Today's episode has the best of everything I like about the channel. ty!

Great catch on both fish. I like your instruction on getting the leader attached.

That’s honestly dope that restaurant cooks the fish you catch! I’m not even gonna lie I’ve never knew some restaurants do that! Dope!! Just subscribed 💪🏽

[@edwardlandry291]

Your content gets better with every installment! You da man! Nothing redundant or same old… Best KZbin vid I’ve seen in quite a while! And Mom showed up, to boot! That pile of fried lemon fish (Cobia/Ling) had me drooling! Killer!

[@harlydynamike49]

I love this guy; he brings back so many memories. He has so many tips for novices and us old guys. One thing I learned back in the early 70’s if you take a charter or friends you better use a stinger rig especially on Kings and Wahoo or you will come home and go to bed hungry. Thanks for keeping the sport going with class.

[@kebotrans]

I found your channel last week. It has become in my top 5. Don’t change a thing.

[@DavidRJones82]

I like how you post the regulations with each fish. A lot of the Colorado fishing youtubers could learn from this!

[@thomaslambert3161]

This Is educational bro.Love it. Im learning so much from you. Appreciate you Steve

[@dasavage]

Great job on that Cobia. Waiting for your charter to start.

Great day along with an awesome video!!! Thanks!!!!

This is so wholesome. I love wholesome southern people. Can't say I've ever salt water fished, but I do fish king out on the Great Lakes, and go far walleye during the winter. Keep up the content man!

I love the videos you are by far my favorite KZbinr out of everyone you deserve more recognition! Keep up the great work !

[@jacksonvreal_904]

Nice work! I love catching Cobia. I fish NE FL Atlantic waters. I've caught several less than a mile offshore following manta rays in April-May. They're anywhere from 1 mile offshore to 60 miles offshore here. About 12 years ago they were everywhere here but we've noticed a steep decline in their population recently. We aren't allowed to keep red snapper here, and they're literally everywhere. It's beyond frustrating. Keep up the good work! Love the channel and content!!

[@mochribon]

I really enjoy your content. Been watching about 6 months now and have looked back on so many of your videos. I went to college just across the FL line in Pensacola and am now seeing the great fishing I missed out on in AL. Thanks for posting and keep it up!

[@BamaSaltwater]

Sweet, I did too (partially at UWF) Thanks for your kind comment! Good luck !

[@egb131980]

I’m a commercial diver and the amount of fisherman that disregard our dive flags is incredible Even to the point that we hail them and they flip us off. We can resort to fire hose . But if your chill And hail us we will tell you exactly what depth the species your after is at. It was nice to see you respect a simple supply boat

[@sean9267]

Dude, the fact that you just man handled that cobia on the boat blows my mind. Cobia a mean fish and will try to break everything you got when decked lol You're a beast!

[@brandondukes3379]

Nice cobia, and I enjoyed seeing you guys take it to Mikee's. That sounds like a perfect dinner, after a day of fishing.

[@thomastucker6696]

Really enjoyed your Cobia catch. Really nice one. Btw after running charters for 8 yrs out of Freeport Texas just want to say you could have greatly reduced the risk of loosing that fish by Turing on your trollmotor and slowly worked it away from the anchor chain. Other than that great job and good video.
