I Tossed my LIVE! BAIT along these ABANDONED PIERS and JETTY ROCKS and Caught THIS!

[@saltygringo]

All I know is that, if I'm bored and have finished KZbin, if Bama posts a video it's all 'Happy Time' now!

[@happymethehappyone8300]

Well,, Not just my time,, But everybody's..I wouldn't just keep it all for myself 🤪 If you think that's crazy,, I don't know why,, But they have an hour just for me at most bars in ALL 50 states..Weird. 🤪 🍷🍾🍺🍸 "Happy"

[@BamaSaltwater]

Appreciate you!!!!

[@Anthonyjones12344]

love your vides man my birthday is coming up about to be 18 all i want is that you keep making the awesome videos love your content man

[@shaina6184]

My wife caught a nurse shark out in the Galveston jetties a few months ago! It was almost identical to that size. Super interesting creature. And your description is spot on!

[@johnd56]

The nurse shark is a cool catch. Keep up the good work!

[@Dr.Ballsonya]

Hands down the nicest KZbin fisherman. One of the few I can watch around my kids and always a good video. If I’m ever in your neck of the woods I’d gladly give you a donation for a day riding shotgun on your boat for the company, catching fish would be a bonus! Be safe out there and hug your mom every chance you get to!

[@BamaSaltwater]

Thank you!!!!

[@spaceburger80]

Vid on! Tight lines, let’s go! As a kid going I was mesmerized going to the local marina (Golden’s Marina, ling since closed, Point Penninsula, Ontario). I’d just stare at the huge tanks of shiners. Then my Uncle Wendy (RIP ❤ 🕊️) would take me out and catch two full chains, one of 4-6lb smallies and the other jumbo perch. And he’d always, ALWAYS, troll a spinner behind in case a passing pike or musky was happening by. Best summers ever. That time with him and my Dad are what solidified my eternal love of fishing.

[@BamaSaltwater]

That right there is what it's about!!!

[@The_Hi_Life]

That’s what I love about fishing the gulf. You literally never know what you’re going to pull up! 🤙

[@goodcitizen64]

Thanks for taking us along! God bless y'all

[@MikeyUnderwood]

Awesome video. It's awesome you take the time to explain the species you catch. Not everyone knows everything. Loved the beautiful nurse shark catch!!!

[@caseychipley1671]

Yes great video Steven ❤ thanks for always keeping it 💯

[@triplec8281]

It is always a great day when bama saltwater posts 🎉

[@ThreeZeroOne]

10 limit on sheepshead seems high to me, too. High for almost any species except baitfish. You're spot on. Imo approximately half that - 4, 5, 6...outta be enough for anyone. You always set a responsible example. i'm definitely no extremist. Just like you, an advocate for common sense. Healthy limits. Really cool juvenile nurse shark too! So awesome!

[@tg1cent765]

Amen. Thank you for describing that feel of the shark. That's cool and so was the video!

[@ZMAAllOutDoors]

Always great content you inspired me to try making a channel. Love it brother

[@kayakflyfishingschool]

Nice sheepies and a monster pinfish!!! :) Cool fish species debut too!!

[@david-nl9tj]

Best fishing KZbin out there!!

[@leehowell4258]

Always enjoy seeing a Bama Saltwater video on my feed! Good on you only keeping what you need and letting the rest go. About got bit by that nurse shark when she turned back on you when you were letting her go! Keep up the great fishing content!

[@happymethehappyone8300]

SWEEEEEEEEEET!! A new Bama Saltwater Video..Perfect timing,, I was just starting to have withdrawals,, So I'm getting "my fix" just in time. 😵‍💫

[@hardyboysfishing]

Love your videos brother. Very cool nurse shark!

[@PaulResor]

Another great video Keep doing what you like to do We like to watch!Help keeping the environment clean too good deal.

[@kimbersal1]

Noice!! I caught you on my lunch! My work day just got better. Thanks, Stephen and God Bless!

[@zertifiedd5479]

Always an amazing day when I see bama posted

[@jasonwhitman94]

Describing that nurse sharks skin describes a lot ex wives 😂

[@BamaSaltwater]

HEHE!

[@jakethesnake9216]

Always nice to see a new video when I sit down to eat❤

[@scottweidner1613]

Catching that nurse shark was a surprise. I thought it was going to get you on the release. Its amazing how flexible they are.

[@KeithFoster-re5xj]

When you made the sheep's head look at the camera it was just like Bill Engvals "I'm a Dork Fish!"

[@jasonsimon6368]

I call those nurse sharks the Labradors of the sea. Very docile and cool creature. Keep up the great work. I was one of your earliest subscribers and I a proud to see where you are going.

[@Brock_Landers]

That was a really nice Sheepshead! Not to mention that nurse shark! As soon as it came to the surface I said nurse shark! Good catch bro!

[@Erinlogan-t4j]

Such a cool looking nurse 🦈🦈 Nice sheepshead fish❤❤

[@kinorhynch]

8:43 if I had a quarter for everytime I heard that. I always enjoy your videos! My girlfriend always says "you're watching him again??"

[@turbuk1009]

just came back from school and bamasaltwater posted just amazing

[@17losttrout]

Good on you about the limits. Top man.

[@J2B2Outdoors]

When you caught the sheeps head I was happy because I just did it for my art project

[@DodieDickerson-Stidman]

Thank you Steve

[@williammathews6603]

good vid good info,drum an the sheapshead good eatin ,keep your vids commin always fun to watch..

[@Brock_Landers]

Also, we have a few of those old looking pirate ships around Tampa Bay, St Pete, and Clearwater Beach. I left there back in 2000, and while I've been back quite a few times since (my entire immediate family lives there still) I live near Pittsburgh now with my wife and two teenage sons.

[@jerryrowland7122]

@@Brock_Landers I'm from the same stomping grounds you mentioned, I moved to Texas and watching these videos makes me hankering to go back just to fish.

[@tonyhicks9388]

Like the idea about limit to keep, keep a few to cook and catch more later

[@elizabethcarrington5819]

Beautiful sheepshead! You know that’s gonna taste good! Yum-tastic. Can’t believe you caught that nurse shark. I appreciate everything you do to protect the fish you catch and try to quickly dispatch the ones you do. Conservation is the key. Too bad not everyone adheres to the same principle. Thanks for another great video. Hope your mom and brother are doing well. Y’all take care.

[@shanegilchrist1441]

One the best inshore fish to eat for sure. Thanks for the vid.

[@kierra_mist]

I quit my job to watch your content full time 😊

[@dannyd-rockmahaffey3087]

10 is way too much!!! Great video brother!!!!

[@MrEmersombiguns2002]

May be the first nurse shark seen caught there. Scuba dives in Belize they follow you like dogs!!Nice video. Keep the video's coming...

[@todstrong9929]

Let's get it brudda 💪

[@Pathfinder394]

Love the videos bam

[@Tramz14]

Man that nurse shark almost gotcha!

[@BamaSaltwater]

It was a giant muscle haha!

[@Tramz14]

@ crazy how strong they are! It's like a sandpaper wrapped giant tongue

[@willmallory9085]

8:19 That huge pinfish is perfect bait.

[@GloriousSEAGRUB]

I saw you getting ice earlier in the week!!! Also fire video!!!

[@mikesabran]

A nice inshore fishing video this time, I enjoyed it didn't. think you were going to to out into that weather, keep the videos coming and cnjoy eating the results of this trip.

[@cross9494]

Cool shark!!!

[@ProminentOnYt]

You should fish with ultralight gear (2-6lb) for some small saltwater species, its really fun and they fight like a boss on the 8/6lb line

[@TheJaymon1962]

Excellent

[@retireoutsideusa3375]

Speckled Trout, Redfish, Flounder, Snapper, and Mackerel.

[@mikecampingforfun5226]

Yeah I could tell going out to the oil rigs would be a rough ride anyway. Might as well to stay close to shore and catch a few. That it easy Steve.

[@robertrio632]

202k congrats!

[@BamaSaltwater]

Thanks!

[@LiveLoveCamp123]

My husband and I went on a cruise excursion in Belize (2 times, we loved it that much) where we snorkeled on a reef (with Fred, the barracuda… freaky) and swam with stingrays and nurse sharks (and other fish that would come up … all wild, not penned up) … they would swim between your legs but we never reached down to pet one. Now I want to! LOL

[@TripEfishing]

Awesome video man! I will admit my mom got pretty mad at me when I stole her leather purse and sprayed water on it 😂

[@BamaSaltwater]

Haha !! .... blame it on the wind lol

[@KeithFoster-re5xj]

Yo, First State fishing needs to get to your brothers shop for some bait.

[@ZackCraig-yo8ku]

I caught my first nurse shark on the Skyway Pier South side in January this year about the same size

[@justinM88]

The crickets 🦗 of the sea 🌊

[@richvasquez8534]

Damm there go bamm what up

[@MarkBranham-n6e]

Ghost Crab works great for redfish sheepshead black drum

[@MarkBranham-n6e]

Caught a 19 in sheepshead on a ghost Crab

[@claybush9143]

Sheepshead are one of the most plentiful fish in the ocean. So plentiful Louisiana does not have a size or creel limit! 10 is not generous enough IMO. Sheepshead meat yield is so low unless they are pretty good size its really not that much fish.

[@jonathanfaust4175]

Cool!

[@stayontarget47]

Oh wow a nurse shark. We had a nurse shark in Panama that would bug us for food when we did operations.

[@kaidenfiregamer2500]

Hey bama have you ever caught a sturgeon before? Also will the next vid be a catch and cook those are my favorite vids

[@kevinjustkevin7627]

Fishing at Sebastian inlet one night. Falling asleep, rod almost ripped from my hands. An almost 4 foot nurse shark caught on a mullet. Got it to the rocks and thought, now what. My gear was not close by, grabbed the leader, the shark thrashed, hook pulled free. Good times

[@2Jim2u]

good video.

[@2Jim2u]

today I wore, Tshirt, Long Sleeve shirt, Fleecy, Winter coat and it was snowing. Happy Holidays.

[@raylewis3073]

Man I wish they sold fiddler crabs here in Port Arthur Texas, we can get but you have to know where to find them.

[@2IzzyReelzFishing]

You got 🦀

[@thomaslambert3161]

Haha mate been watching you for a while now. Why dont you do some "fishing with" vids. Like ask people if they'll pay to come with you for an adventure. I know I'd love to

[@LousisianaFish]

I use a very similar dropper rig, however i use a 1/0 Khale hook and the lightest weight i can get away with. Usually a 1/2 or 3/8 ounce bank sinker if there is not much current. Sheepshead around here can get funny about hooks and swivels if the water is clear.

[@BamaSaltwater]

Definitely good adaptations to the conditions! Hard to beat a kahle

[@BillArmstrong-km3oc]

That’s right. PTL.

[@happymethehappyone8300]

NOT ALL of those are "Fiddler Crabs",, There are also quite a few "Violin Crabs" in there too..The only real difference being,, The "Violin Crabs" dress just a bit fancier. 🦀

[@BamaSaltwater]

ikr haha, and maybe some large Cello ones too

[@happymethehappyone8300]

@BamaSaltwater 🤪 Thanks for another great video Stephen,, If possible,, Could you tell "Pinkie" (Mom) That Happy says hello..May life find you both well & smiling.

[@terrencetaylor7515]

Do you do guided trips?

[@tango6nf477]

Removing other peoples hooks from fish or collecting their trash tackle they just couldn't be bothered to take home is really satisfying, just a pity there's a need to do it.

[@bryantg7641]

That nurse shark looks like it would feel like (for lack of better terminology) nutskin !!! Am I right ?

[@pastorkristoffer4074]

Hasn’t depleted them yet so…… every year sheep’s are easy to catch this time of year along jetty’s docks and inlets.

[@BamaSaltwater]

lets just wait until they are depleted.... obviously lol

[@justindrewery3531]

It's in the FAA regs

[@cherylmarshall840]

I like that size of black drum to eat I am 62 years old and my dad took me fishing at 2 years old I still love my fishing today but I want to get back to my salt water

[@edt1cv2]

thats a big pinfish the louisiana state record is 1.33lbs

[@jackiebishop9574]

Stephen, I have a love hate relationship with you. I 😍 love your video's, always a thumbs up, but I 😬 hated you, because you will not take me fishing with you. You just leave me here pining away for you take me fishing and to teach me the correct way to fish!!!!!!😭😢 A whole week with you fishing would just be the bees knees!!!!!!!! 😁😁😁🥰 Awesome Nurse Shark release!!!! Still waiting on you to show a video of you catching "bull red fish"!!!!! 💔

[@richwood8650]

Looks like it's time for a fish fry!

[@brianrherndon1977]

Nurse sharks are lazy sharks. I've caught a few in the past and it's like hauling up a log... deadweight.

[@BamaSaltwater]

Great description

[@NoMoreLibs]

That was a male shark.

[@OnlyShorts3_3]

he has 400$ pliers

[@BamaSaltwater]

they were a gift when I got back from Korea

[@matthewlamb7928]

I have a proposition for your Bama saltwater . I'll come down and live as Bama saltwater and you come live at my house and do my job so I don't get fired. Only for like one month bro. I only need to catch a couple of them fish down there and I'll be good
