THIS is why you don't need a BIG BOAT.. Mahi Fishing in the Florida Keys

[@mohammedalbusaidi2223]

What's happening with your merch ma man still can't seem to get anything online

[@LifeByTheBow]

Hey Mohammed, thanks for asking! Unfortunately we are still on a backorder dude to Covid. We should be back up and running in the next couple week!

[@AZGOLF]

@@LifeByTheBow i'm looking into getting an offshore boat but i run out of VA. Norfolk canyon is my main fishing grounds and everyone tells me i need to get a viking 56 or bigger. i really love the contender you have and was wondering would you run that boat offshore here in VA. this might be a dumb question but i love this channel and respect any and all of your input.

[@Fj4LiFe23]

@@AZGOLF the contender would have absolutely no problem running the canyon. you absolutely don't "need" a 56+ but of course the level of comfort grows as it gets bigger so if you have the resources i don't think you'll regret going bigger.

[@AZGOLF]

@@Fj4LiFe23 i went with a contender due to how fast it can get me there and back. i blow by the bigger offshore boats on the way out and in. finding the grass line is pretty easy from the tower it has.

[@doc2936]

​@@AZGOLFabsolutely not!!!! Chesapeake Bay gets swells of 13 feet. Weather timing you can take a gheenoe. Get a Chesapeake dead rise for that area with a diesel.

Your camera man is killing these shots!! Give that man a raise

Nobody is doing higher quality videography than you guys. I look forward to every new one.

Stumbled on your channel today and it is awesome !

[@lorenzogalatas]

Great videos guys! So informative and the videos themselves are beautiful….we also get to enjoy our place by founders park just about every weekend! I can say that it’s life changing, I get to recharge from the city and take in all this beauty while I’m here and while I’m in the city because of you! Thank you for amazing content!

[@85296jwd]

I love the show. I’m recovering from some surgery and the show has brought many smiles to my face. You two are real, well spoken and seem to be really nice people. Plus, you’ve taught me so much. Recipes too! I would like to see a bit more on how you maintain your boat and more videos on the equipment. I liked the video on the Power Poles. Keep up the great work. You’ve got me hooked!

[@saenole66]

Your drone shots of the patch reefs are so gorgeous. It demonstrates the clarity of Keys water to the max. Really takes me back. Thanks.

[@Terrenitup01]

Bruh, your b-roll is STUPID amazing. Very professionally done and the music brings just the perfect vibes. Haven’t seen content this well done in a long time.

My fiancé and I have been watching y’all’s channel for about 6 months now and we love it! Your wife is beautiful and gives me confidence. We love hearing all the fishing tips and tricks and just watching the beautiful videos! God bless!

[@firstdownsmixs2725]

You guys have hit the limit on how good a channel can get. Your videos are floless

[@jfxl1977]

Every second of this video was great! The cinematography, as many have mentioned, is so spot on! I look forward to each new video! I can't always go fishing, but we have a local fishmonger where I can grab some fresh, locally caught fish, and I can't wait to try this recipe on some delicious Mahi! Thank you, Stephanie, for sharing the recipes! I've said it before but, there's nothing better than the catch/clean/cook videos! Please keep up the excellent work! Thank you! I look forward to your channel exploding! Anyone who loves fishing, being on the water, eating fresh fish, and enjoying life should be subscribed to your channel!

[@anchoradventuresyt]

The scene underwater of the prop and boat taking off then fading into an overhead shot was very creative. As with all of your videos, I really enjoyed watching it!

[@michaelhuck5548]

The camera work just keeps getting better and better. Looks amazing. I appreciate the education mixed in the videos. Keep it up man.

[@mattrohdenburg7126]

Those snorkeling shots are incredible! You all are so blessed to have that right in your back yard. Keep up the great work!

This has to be my favorite channel to watch...its so rewarding...scenery is beutiful...wish i was there...I am stuck in the NC mountains wishing i was in the keys! thank you

[@bryanauer]

I love how you film from the boat, under water, drone, plus tons of different focal lengths with buttery b-roll. Very pro... love the channel

[@austinfoley7894]

Hey guys, the new video was great. Unfortunately, I didn’t see your response about meeting up last week until later on, so we’ll have to plan something for the future. Glad to see you got on some Mahi and I like how you have some of the underwater footage incorporated into this video. Keep up the good work!

[@williamlindner3763]

Gotta love when the biggest issue of the day is trying to figure out how to boat the fish solo!, sick vid man

This is definitely my new favorite channel, this is the type of content I really enjoy. Thanks for putting in the work guys.

Clay is killing it! Angler and gaffing his own fish. 🔥 love the channel! I have lived in the Keys my entire life, but somehow your videos still have me awe of how beautiful it is down here! So many of the Avail Gear shirts are sold out. Anxiously waiting for a restock!!

[@armandoalvarez835]

The Channel is AWESOME! I found the channel recently and have been enjoying watching all of the videos. My wife and I have a vacation home down in Islamorada and I keep trying to convince her that we should move down FULL TIME! I have two small boys (3 & 1 year old toddlers) and they love the videos as well! Keep up the great work!

Mahi is my favourite fish. I first had it in Aruba. Now whenever we travel to the Islands I will order it. Thank you for sharing your day with us. Love seeing all that underwater life. It’s just so beautiful. Love watching you two at the end when Stephanie cooks and you both sit down to eat. I enjoy every part of your video. Thanks for bringing a part of your life to us to view. I feel like I’m back on a holiday when I watch. ♥️

[@markmorgan5892]

I absolutely loved all the under water footage u put in this video!!! Especially at timestamp 10:41, u need to do some footage like that in the ole 39 contender!! I think one motor looked killer taking off like that under water, I could only imagine what those 3 Verados would look like!!! Awesome video though in general, I liked how u explained everything and could u possibly do a knot tying video? I follow a couple people that do a lot of fishing and none of them have a knot tying video and I’ve asked them as well and no one has responded to me yet about doing a video like that!! Thanks big man!!

[@Rawillll]

Came across your channel just yesterday, my wife and I (mainly me 😂) can not stop watching your videos and we don’t even fish! Lol We’re from Miami but we’re on our honeymoon in Panama City beach and saw for the first time some folks catching fish back to back from a pier and were so amazed. We’ve been talking about how cool it is to live a self-sustainable life where you catch and cook your own meals, it’s just the way to go. I’d love to see a video breaking down some basics or maybe just price breakdowns if you don’t already have videos like that. I love the offshore small boat you got. I don’t even own a rod but watching you and your wife’s lifestyle is really motivating.

[@tomlamb697]

Great video!!! Dream fishing for me. Gettin my old boat ready for a season in NY. Thanks for my train ride home entertainment. You guys rock!

[@markm391]

You guys do an excellent job of capturing the true beauty of the Keys. Spots you normally wouldn't see visiting on vacation. The production and drone footage is top notch. Sharing your life, great fishing excursions and cooking top it off. This show takes me out of reality and puts me in the Keys. Thank you for sharing!

[@mitchelleinwechter6340]

It has been amazing watching this channel grow over the past year or so! When I would go down to the keys a couple years back, we had a great boat, however, with being at the pool so much, I did a lot of pier fishing (Key Colony Beach, Marathon). I know it may not be near as much fun but could you guys do a video on it (kayak fishing, paddleboard fishing, etc.)? Hoping that the border opens soon so we can come back down ASAP. Keep up the great work with KZbin and your businesses!

Been following yall for a little while now. Love your videos, and I bought me an older offshore boat. Hoping one day I'll be able to take it out. I tested it out in a local lake and the motor was running a little rough and the previous owner damaged the hull with the trailer. I knew that before I bought it but still. I have a friend of mine that used to work at a boat plant and hopefully he can patch and repair it so she can see water again soon.
