Clay, I would love a video that goes through all your rod setups, like style of rods and reel, what they are spooled with (braid,hollow, mono etc) and what lures you use. I see you have a mix between spinning and “regular” reels, and see some feathers on the spinning ones. But as someone who is just getting into fishing offshore with his boat and is buying rod/reels with tackle for mahi, tuna, king and wahoo and bottom rigs as well, it would be awesome to get some great ideas of what other people are using. I’m currently running a Talica 25II with 500 yards of 70lb braid, but as I am looking to buy 2-3 more rods/reels for summer…really curious the most versatile way to set them up.

[@jeffsmart6348]

agreed.... very curious the rod you're using fighting the YFT

[@LifeByTheBow]

We have some videos like that. Definitely open to making some more. Thank you for watching and following along on the journey.

[@Ryan-wy5hs]

@@LifeByTheBowwhat kind of boat is that

[@letsgo_inc]

I would 100% watch a video of just your drone shots. A fast boat is so sick, especially this one.

[@rski1036]

"sick?"

[@LifeByTheBow]

Thank you so much!

[@olddiver]

What a magnificent Bahama trip. The cinematography above and below the water, catching big yellowfin and spearing hogfish… this why you two have earned the top spot in quality Utube channels. Your interaction together is funny and genuine… a beautiful escape to paradise for us all. Never missed one of your videos… never will.

[@LifeByTheBow]

Very kind words. Thank you so much Lance, we really appreciate your positive feedback.

FIrstly, God, please continue to bless Clay and Stephanie. I absolutely love your videos, and it's lines like "When stuck you should absolutely never use your engines to try to power out. You could do harm to the engines and MOST IMPORTANTLY harm the bottom." that let me know that Clay is a genuinely good man. I also love the mutual respect as well in your relationship shown between the two of you when you were catching those tuna. Thank you as always for sharing your life with us, especially those like me who are otherwise land locked. (I'm in New Mexico)
