Love these local/shallow water vids for variety's sake. Can't all be deep water on the bay boat. To anyone new around here, Steve does it ALL!

[@kimbersal1]

I’m about 45 minutes late but I made it! Thanks as always, Stephen! God Bless you and your family. Tell your mom happy Mothers Day for me.

[@HudsonTaylor13]

Tell your mom happy Mother Day

[@danielwiles2112]

Just wanna say your videos are awesome & my wife and I enjoy you fishing with your mom & love your catch & cooks & happy mothers day to your mom & God bless.

[@MamaSaltwater]

Thank y’all so much !!!!

[@jeremysilcox9362]

I hooked the biggest Jack Crevalle I had ever caught in 2 foot of water in Perdido Bay. I had no idea what I got into. I had only seen them out in the canal and pass. It felt like forever to get him in.

[@thomaschandler4831]

Wow … 10 pound test ….. absolutely amazing Catch …. And may I say you are a true Gentleman! ….. we don’t need to keep all the big ones … Let them Live ….. I only keep the ones I’m gonna eat …… as you do 👍👍🏆🇺🇸

[@grahamallen3941]

Hi Stephen love those big boys!! Please wish your Mom a wonderful Mothers Day.

[@MrJdog12341]

You caught those reds right in front of my beach house! I learned to fish and crab with my brother and cousins in that ditch! Great little spot!

[@oleboog7312]

I’m very stingy when it comes to subscribing to people (like my opinion matters) , but you sir have earned my subscription! Binge watched about 5 videos now and absolutely love your content!

[@Bluegillbasher]

This man is the best and must be protected by all costs

[@leehowell4258]

Always enjoy seeing a new Bama Saltwater video in my feed! Amazing fight with that black drum and I applaud you for throwing that speck back! I know many that if it’s caught at their dock it ain’t measured so kudos to you for abiding by the rules and doing your part at keeping the fish population sustainable and healthy!

[@thomascarroll1607]

I love seeing your Mom go fishing with you! Take her with you more often.

[@lisasmith6549]

My husband and I watch you (and your mom) all the time. Got to love saltwater fishing! Thanks for being kind and fun to watch.

[@BamaRockstar85]

I bet the floundering would be good along those walls in front of your beach houses. As long as that wind is not ripping across the bay

[@jonrothlander9522]

What a joy it must be to simply cast out and catch fish in your backyard! Definitely a dream of mine, really enjoy watching you live yours. My parents live in Fairhope, but we haven’t had much luck fishing there yet. Hopefully the warmer weather will fire up the fishing!

[@tjvbham5831]

One of my earliest memories is bobber fishing with my Grandfather for panfish. Thanks for bringing me back 58 years.

[@Human4N0w]

I don't know if I've seen you fish your backyard yet. This was fun to see. That drum was something else! I love your content. Been watching for quite a while now. My and mine are in Atlanta, so we always vacation in the gulf. Watching your videos almost feels like getting away for a little bit.

[@matthewpickholtz6983]

I liked the "pet" joke you made about the drum, but it had me thinking, you should try tagging some fish you catch by your property and see how many of the same fish frequently visit.

[@jrc8466]

I'd like to see some freshwater fishing from a boat for Bream, Shellcracker, Channel Catfish, and Largemouth Bass.

[@lucpicard9299]

what’s good steven!!!! would it be possible for you to do a bass fishing video soon??? i would love to see you smoke them

[@07bently]

Nicely done good catches

[@17losttrout]

Nice video! We've a guy in the UK with a great fishing channel, "The Fish Locker" - he does boat and shore (well worth a look, catching a huge Thresher). He has a "Take 5" policy, meaning that he'll always take five bits of plastic rubbish whenever he finds some on the beach or rocks.

[@TasteDaHook]

Absolutely Love Watching Videos Like This 🎯

[@buckethead9861]

Love that you include your mom

[@BamaSaltwater]

She can fish for sure!!

[@donnaflake2740]

Good to see a new video! Noticed your crucifix necklace gone, or just couldn't see it. Hope it's not lost. Tell Mom it's good to see her also!

[@tomnorman2668]

Another great fishing video!!!

[@Landon-ey5my]

I was at the beach this weekend and unfortunately didn’t catch anything but Whatching your videos make me feel like I’m catching them. Love the channel keep it up man

[@leemccray1209]

Man i love your videos and the fact that you love fishing with your mother that is so awesome

[@dannybryant6960]

And I hope the good Lord up above continues to bless you! Really enjoy your videos

[@hijinxgaming1691]

I love your videos keep up the good work

[@stephenedavis7]

I have been sick and haven't seen many of your videos lately, but it's fun to see you fishing from the backside again. great video!

[@adkfuller8062]

I've seen videos of storms down your way, think the 130mph winds might be part of the trash issue. Still y'all keep Bama looking so beautiful! The fish are looking healthy too.

[@BamaSaltwater]

Eh, it was there before unfortunately, some people dont know how to take it back with em

[@derricklangley7872]

Been watching you for about a year! I like how you acknowledge God in your videos! And you’re a great angler!

[@chaspruitt2610]

I really enjoy your videos my friend.... thank you!! 👍🏼💜

[@warrenbridges4095]

We have that liter problem bad here in Louisiana. So bad that they've actually closed public fishing areas just to clean it. Aggravates the stew out of me that people can't take their own trash with them.

[@MrEmersombiguns2002]

Boy! what a great video, and again good to see your mom fishing. I was imagining one of my grandson's who are 11(twins) holding on to that big drum! Why go off shore when you have that in your backyard. Making me want to find a way back down there this summer. Happy mothers day to your mom from NW La. Randy

[@doubleroutdoors6746]

Love your Mother!! Met her about 4 years ago I think at the bait shop. Keep meaning to say something about it. Finally remembered

[@eddiewalker7212]

Great watching you fight those dinosaurs. Keep it up.

[@joeldewit5464]

From Queensland, Australia. Love your channel thanks for sharing your adventures

[@wvjeri67]

WOW....Now that's what I call some great fishing. Thank you for sharing with us. God Bless

[@BamaSaltwater]

Thank you! God Bless!!

[@airdenver248]

We were down, lost power for a couple of hours early Friday morning. Always hoping to run into you down there one day. Tried my hand at some surf fishing this time. Keep posting the great videos!

[@jokiejoker2011]

Back in regs with the haircut. Good to see

[@BamaSaltwater]

Hehe ;) I get tired of that long hair over my ears haha!

[@williammathews6603]

them bridge donkeys are your pets they know you gonna letem go!good fishin your mother a you,yall good team..godbless staysafe!

[@scottweidner1613]

Always love the backyard fishing👍👍 It amazes me with those big drum how you can fight one and it never goes more than 10 or 15 yards and the next one takes line like you hooked a truck.

[@BamaSaltwater]

It is crazy for sure!!! Always amazing getting up close and personal with em.

[@scottweidner1613]

@@BamaSaltwater they are a cool fish to catch. Don't find many of them here in central Pa😅😅

[@gdj8013]

You a better man than me throwing that trout back if I was catching 14” trout in my front yard I’d be frying trout.

[@ErinLogan-gs5ki]

Great looking blacks. They were GIANTS! 😊❤❤

[@cheekclappin96ss22]

In my area of Florida the reds have to be 18"-27" I catch so many in that 16 17 range that would make a great meal I can't keep. Nice work my friend.

[@Nathan-oe1bt]

Best part of my week!

[@charlieholt3102]

Leave it to Bama Saltwater to go in his backyard making great catches keep up the great work 👍

[@twotoned2774]

Nice catches. I love seeing catches from the side of the road. Anyone can fish it.

[@user-yc8bi9td2n]

Enjoy the content . Happy mothers day to your mom.

[@MamaSaltwater]

Thank you so much !

[@ericshideler1849]

[@cajunlass1629]

[@zacharypeninger6026]

Such a good place for bait n fishing when it's right, awesome vid!

[@FishTheLimit]

[@kierra_mist]

My favorite fishing channel ❤keep it up Jake !

[@BamaSaltwater]

Haha thanks, and it's Stephen ;)

[@johndeaux83]

Would be interesting to tag those bull Drum (if legal) and see if you catch them again.

[@TopSecretAsiant]

Do we know when Gulf State Pier opens back up? Was hoping for it to be done when this semester ended just it is still closed.

[@jb2257]

That a hell of a heavy rod and reel setup for the ditches lol that’s so cool to just pull over off the road and catch a keeper red

[@davidgraham4807]

Not really…3000 series

[@KadeFoss]

Cool

[@danowest4198]

Absolutely love your videos

[@Bamapride1000]

Man y’all’s property looks like a flounder haven certain times of the year. Another great video bro. I’ve kept a couple of those big black drum that were gill hooked and not gonna make it and they were not bad at all. One had a few worms in the very end of the tail but other than that all good. I did my best to release all those older bigger drum but they were not gonna make it. I tried for hours on the one and it just wasn’t happening. Figured I better let that be known before the crap started coming at me.

[@theresters1]

EXCELLENT VLOG SONNY BOY!!!!

[@goodcitizen64]

Another grest video brother!

[@fishhunter210]

More than wonderful video. I hope you enjoy fishing bro ❤️❤️

[@marklee6538]

A set of 2 foot wide stairs would make life so much easier on those big guys. I wonder what that would cost.

[@HudsonTaylor13]

Thx for the video

[@johndelrosso7939]

I live in NH and we have floating docks you can pull onto shore during storms not sure if that would work for you made from used plastic drums I know its ( hillbilly ) but it works 🙂

[@TheSimong69]

great vlog brother

[@user-uq1tj1lb8g]

Loved this video so much. You need to buy four plastic 55 gallon jugs and build a little deck. Just saying.

[@reelhookcast5551]

Great video brother as always

[@kaitlinherrick7795]

Just moved down here hope to meet ya out there one of these days

[@cameronvivian7341]

Thanks again!! Keep em coming!

[@BamaSaltwater]

Thank ya!

[@salt-team-six5883]

What no cooking? LOL, My brother is looking at moving to your area and he sent you an email

[@jamesjohnson164]

Awesome catch man! I got my very first speckled trout off the Saint Simmons Island, GA pier last weekend. I don’t t live near the shore but I always go when I get the chance and it was so awesome to cross that off my list 17in keeper and it ate good

[@cross9494]

Love the your fishing video's!!

[@rayt8980]

Great video. Really enjoy your channel.

[@sethscott4211]

That is a horrifying round. That is definitely the best round yove guys have shot. And it worked

[@MrRaymilligan]

Great video

[@todstrong9929]

My boi Steve

[@BamaRockstar85]

You always do well right there in front of your beach house

[@BamaSaltwater]

It's really good during high tide and good water movement !

❤Please take me fishing. Love your video.😁

If you were in Sanrock marina, do you have any suggestions as to where to place a couple of pinfish traps? TY

[@lifeofkenyon]

Just subscribed!! 🤘🏾🔥 love the content

[@dannyjones3840]

Anyone that's been watching for a while knows exactly what you'll be catching behind the house lol

[@BamaSaltwater]

Hehe ;)

[@bryantg7641]

Mr. Franklin, you put the old Shaw Grigsby on that black drum. I didnt think you were gonna rip his lips quite that hard with that kahle hook. on there, but it worked huh ???

[@BamaSaltwater]

Oh yeah! Gotta get it set

[@samjoiner7955]

7:08 way to set the hook with a circle hook, still worked though

[@BamaSaltwater]

Put steady pressure and force for the thicker, larger fish! Definitely

[@jeremywiggins5252]

This is my spot to cast net mullet. Never even considered fishing it lol

[@BamaSaltwater]

Haha, I grew up through high school (10-13 years ago) right down the street from here and it was a go-to spot. My brother caught his biggest pinfish in here 11 years ago.

[@TimM-wk1zx]

Stephen, would the state or county allow you to build a pier out onto the water behind ur home?

[@BamaSaltwater]

100%, we had one a LONG time ago, but prices are outrageous. One day I'll have one rebuilt

[@kastlekiller]

The toilet bowl!!

[@BamaSaltwater]

Haha, it was a Gourd lol

[@tylerstanionis1988]

First!!! Love ur vids man

He’s got a boat he doesn’t need to fish a pier

[@DavisRo]

@@gilmangriggs9989 12:53 he says he’s going to go fishing for kings at Navarre pier.

[@BamaSaltwater]

I love gulf pier fishing! Will make a few vids this year on em. Our local pier is down for rebuild, late this year is expected opening date!

[@retireoutsideusa3375]

Black drum and sheepshead are not what we watch your show for. Red Snapper, Red fish, Speckled trout, and especially saddle blanket flounder.

[@mickberry2651]

That sure doesn't look like a roadside ditch. Looks like a marsh.

[@mikelee2064]

Hey Steve I been going to ft Morgan for the last couple of years kayak fishing from long Island ny don't know the waters so if ya ever need a fishing partner hit me up. I'm in ALABAMA late april early may. Didn't get to fish this year got to ft Morgan after a 23hr drive and had the flu when I got there. So maybe next year

[@oliveroutdoors3099]

Everybody be careful coming around that curve for awhile.
