I fish a lot on my Kayak here in Arkansas...and I watch these videos in awe of how strong and fast even small saltwater fish are. I love your videos. You do such a great job with filming yourself and editing. Wish I lived closer to some saltwater so I could experience this but till then love living it through your videos. Great work! Keep it up.

[@Peter-zg3em]

appreciate the respect freshwater guys show for the salt. that said, i still think the toughest fighting fish and hardest hitting fish in the world lb for lb is a largemouth bass.

[@LowTideLegends]

I’m from FL and I had no idea you could catch Mahi so far north. That’s awesome ✌🏿

[@horationelson3823]

Love the fly rod. Mix it up some more with the fly. It is so difficult, great to see done well!

[@michaelcohen2345]

Couldnt wake up to anything better rich🤟🏻always pushing the boundaries of what one man on a boat can do

[@piero2393]

Can’t wait to see you in Florida again. Its fun to watch the Snook fishing. Greats from Brazil.

Hey Rich.... I'm retired so I would have fished with you! (and covered the gas:>) Keep the videos coming....and be extra careful offshore by your self.

Awesome video!! The fishaholic rig has enabled you to do some awesome variations (Surf, kayak and boat) and they're all equally fun to watch! 🤩

[@treasurecoastwaters8400]

What a catch Rich! sick! love it! Got a sense and view of how big and wide the Boat is while you reeling that beast in. Lots of great work bro thanks for sharing! love the Boat!

[@matt9822]

We had an epic inshore wahoo bite this year in New Jersey, the pots with dozens of chicken dolphin had wolfpacks of big wahoo underneath, its always worth a pass or 2 with trolling lures in these conditions.

[@guillermopetermann]

unlocked mahi on the rig and on the fly !!!

[@Doodsaplenty]

Great vid! In Florida its a 20” minimum how about where you are?

[@participationtrophyfishing]

Another great vid! I will be pot hopping for Mahi in a few days. Hopefully the forcast is accurate, it wasn't last weekend. Keep up the great work!

[@justincassell858]

Just a suggestion. Sometimes when the fish are skittish, let your bait drop with no weight (just free spool it). Sometimes the bigger fish are deeper and you can get them to bite. We pulled 3 gaffers off the pots by doing that. Shocked me, couldn't believe we had 3 gaffers

[@markrosenquist8259]

I didn’t realize Mahi travelled that far north. Would have been interesting dropping one of those baby mahis down deep. 🤙

[@archieoutdoors1776]

Sweet fly action with those mahi's nice job man

Surprised yah there hahaha

[@brendonschutte2725]

Hi there, is there not a size limit on them? They seem almost too small to keep.

[@pezetero100]

Cool video, I still haven’t caught a mahi it’s definitely on my list.

[@FishAholicTV]

Definitely a box you need to check. They’re also super delicious 😋 especially these little ones.

[@noahwolters2106]

I didn’t know you could keep such small mahi?

[@ernestochaparro8751]

How many feet is that boat ??? Thanks a lot

[@johnhaug1747]

Used to fish Bull Dolphin (aka Mahi-Mahi, Dorado) near Marathon key. We used flying fish caught the nite before on catamaran. Trick is to hook 1 or two using two sep rods. reel them in close to boat. Leave them in the water, and use third rod to bring home the bacon, er, fish. Mahi are school fish and will not abandon their kin.

[@snakehunter1793]

Love the videos Keep it up!!

[@pamtnman1515]

You’re fishing my favorite east coast area. Thank you for posting this

[@pamtnman1515]

@@treasurecoastwaters8400 the problem with “everyone should experience the place “ is that as soon as everyone is in these special places, they aren’t so special any longer. I live in what was a remote and pristine valley that is 92% public land. But it has been discovered by flatlanders, and now the traffic is nonstop, drivers are super aggressive, and the quiet and peacefulness that made this a special and unusual place is disappearing. Better not to mention your special places, and hope not too many other people notice them.

But you’ll come to regret that “spot burning,” because you’ll go to your special place one morning, and fifty other people will be there, too. Not so special then… how has your fishing been this summer?

[@manuelbover4816]

One of the best ways to catch mahi Is to catch a bonito Cut it up in little chunks And throw some in the water And then Throw your line in With a nice chunk of Bonito And freeline. And another way Is a small bucktail jig with a strip of squid They both work good

[@thebrain4239]

there peanuts Dolphin have to be 20 inches

[@Sidewayz_filmedit]

That’s what I’m sayin cause then shits are too tiny

[@sheldonjoe3978]

I was confused too, being I love on the Atlantic side and the limit is 20”. But in the gulf coast there is no size limit.

[@ridingdaskunk5395]

No size limit in the northeast

Hey bud what kind of boat is that y’all were catchin the tuna out of?

[@ahmedsaid4405]

Hello my friend, 1st of all you are really doing the most interesting fishing content with cool clear friendly performance, you make me enjoy the trip as i am with you there ... I have a request, kindly don't ignore it, i would like to make an episode only about this boat (the 1st one not the one at the end of video)and its configuration, thanks and always good luck!

[@jonathanderekvanwieringen3773]

Cool vid👍😁, tiny Dorado ARE killer Live bait👍😁

[@christienjacobpalacios6692]

Nice vid. Miss the kayak fishing though 👍🏻

[@FishAholicTV]

I tried yesterday out in the kayak. Caught some fish but it wasn’t phenomenal. Contemplating if I should make a video of it.

[@Obamasucksdogdcks]

Yeah, I agree the kayak fishing was super fun to watch and a challenge for Rich. However; I can only watch so many light tackle stripper and bluefish trips. I appreciate Rich mixing it up to show how many tips and tricks he has and the variety of the fishery we are so blessed to have. Love the videos Rich. Keep them coming. And If you are ever in the Falmouth, MA area and want to try Buzzards Bay or even the Elizabeth islands and need a place to crash just hit me up. Great content for your Fishaholic audience.

[@deangeloreeves2897]

Where is this video taken? Did you take a trip?

[@treasurecoastwaters8400]

brillant intro bro

[@treasurecoastwaters8400]

absolutely beautiful sir

[@earthsciteach]

Went offshore for the first time on Sunday out of Indian River Inlet. We trolled for a couple of hours and didn't see a fish. We switched to bottom fishing and pulled tilefish in one after the other. Its the most ridiculous method of fishing I've ever done. LOL! Drop down, wait 3 to 30 seconds for the tip to twitch, throw the lever and the electric reel does all the work. I was hoping to hit some pots with light tackle for mahi, but we didn't have time. Next year we are going for tuna.

[@mulletoutdooradventures6286]

Shit how big is that boat? I run a 16ft starcraft 30 miles off Atlantic city just about every weekend solo. Im trying for either a 200 plus bluefin or 300 plus thresher. This year I've already smoked 2 20 plus mahi at the 28 mile wreck and an 87lb bluefin surprisingly in only 58ft of water about 4 miles off. Have faith in your motor

[@meathead912]

How big is your boat ?

[@huntergreggs3090]

No disrespect at all or accusatory undertone but where is this at? I thought Mahi had to be 20 inches to the fork to keep them. I’m from florida and we were fined very hard for keeping some that were 20 total length but not to the fork.

[@huntergreggs3090]

I enjoy your content though I’m just curious

[@thelastmeal2023]

Want to order your dark matter fishaholic rod to use on the California Delta. Is there a discount code for subs haha?

[@flounderwetspot8524]

What was the water temp ? We had 78-81 in nj pre ida. Yesterday it was 68 off shore and 71 inshore. Made trolling for bluefin dismal, only a few allies to speak of. But inshore fluke bite was still solid. 3 on the first drop all 22 and larger

what boat is that?

[@neal4reel723]

What kind of boat do you have?

[@JM-xr4zs]

Fish should be released if they haven’t had a chance to spawn at least ONCE !

[@adamsmith3996]

Mahi are one of the fastest growing and most prolific salt water species in the world . They inhabit almost every ocean on earth. Sport fishing and killing some to eat will never harm the population. So before you tell people what to do, know your facts.

[@kyleromstadt2557]

They legally have to be 20 inch to keep.

[@ridingdaskunk5395]

@@kyleromstadt2557 nope, not true..maybe in floridaland but in the northeast no size limit

[@adamsmith3996]

@@JM-xr4zs im not against regulating fisheries. Tuna are netted in huge numbers in some seas. Because they school in huge numbers Wich is a problem for sure.
