70 dollars to launch on a planet we all own. Thank you for still making us a video that's a crazy price.

[@theloosemoose8200]

Ramps cost money, maintenance cost money. If you wanna launch for free there are plenty of places to do that

[@taaj4403]

@@theloosemoose8200 Yes I agree but $70 is wild. If I want to go out 10x in a month that's $700?

[@theloosemoose8200]

@@taaj4403 here in Florida we have residents parks and beaches annual passes for a small fee. I live right on the beach and see so many people bitching about a fee to drive their car on the beach who end up being the same idiots to leave all their trash there... Just remember, Florida does more maintenance to keep our beaches, springs, and forest clean and functional for us than any other state in the country. Florida also makes a large chunk of it's cash on tourism so if you're a local you might need to use the secret local boat and beach entrances to avoid high prices...

I felt relief watching your fishing vlogs while fighting Cancer , thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️

[@gruntsgritz2456]

[@podocrypto6072]

Look into Red Raspberry seed powder. Buy it! Make a brewed tea with it (1 tbsp.) with green tea in the morning or non caffeine raspberry flavor at night (so twice a day for at least 6months). It has Ellagic acid in it (look it up on youtube) and it will protect the good cells around the cancer and keeps the cancer from invading those cells until the cancer eventually dies off. After taking it for 6mos, go back to your doctor and have them test for cancer. If there is no more, then continue to take it for an additional 3 mos before you stop, then 3 mons every year after. If the test comes back positive, then continue to take it for another 6mos. Then re-check. Prayers and good luck. BTW, Jesus is the only way to true fulfilment!

[@svgsade]

May God heal you my brother 🙏🏽❤

[@Peter-zg3em]

russels live bait is what it is all about. young man with a hustle. i will never forget the time i spent working on the water. it is a lot easier when you are young. just working in that sun burns me up these days.

[@TomMendoladrums]

Rich, you are un-stoppable and relentless. Thanks for all the wonderful content this year. Have a GREAT 2024!

[@donyoungblood9845]

Always great videos, the water is absolutely beautiful, great catches and to big lost fish. Thanks for taking us along!

[@tonys3378]

As much as I miss you chasing stripers up here in the NE , its great to see you thriving down in FL catching some awesome fish! Great content as always Rich and Abenz !

[@Brotherincrist]

Sup. Good job, I am going to Florida in 8 hours, I will be doing tons of fishing, wish me luck.

[@Lethal210]

Luck wished, just got skunked a week straight in SC so hopefully it's been saving for someone else

[@Brotherincrist]

@@Lethal210 thanks and it is winter, which make fishing hard.

[@johnnevin7759]

My wife walked in while I was watching and I told her you may be the greatest fisherman I have ever seen. I believe we could blindfold you and drop you anywhere in the world on a body of water with full tackle and you would figure out how to catch fish. Keep up the great work brother!!

[@aaronk4310]

Good luck

[@TheKrisg50]

Good luck!

[@mbartolacc]

Fished off the 7 mile bridge back in May. It is sooooo much better when you have a boat. Great video.

[@no_step_on_snek9796]

Watching you guys fishing down there is really making me want to go.... awesome video as always, super cool to see you and Abenz doing a collab. If you guys team up with Elias it will be the trifecta!

[@DrLoco]

Since you're near...I caught quit a few permits further south near Morada bay on the flats. Since it's shallow there, there's only juvenile sharks (blacktip mostly) and tiny hammerheads.

[@JustinMccarthy-td4gk]

Rich this is so much better presentation than your live stuff. You are totally into what's happening in front of you instead of turning around looking at camera.we get the whole action this way. With respect keep it up.

[@blacklabel810]

The ocean is very beautiful and the weather is very conducive to fishing, cheers, mister, I like watching videos about fishing...👍

[@gervasiosantos8522]

An awesome ending to witness ur catches 🎣 and Michelle’s beautiful footage of the sunset 🌅 during the golden hour 👍🏽.

[@deedontworry]

Fishing is the best thing ever! 🎣

[@JustinMccarthy-td4gk]

Great show all fishing, learning and super presentation all throughout.

[@lonestarangler8407]

love the dronage and underwater footage!

[@100ccSuperRat]

good intro. fished them waters for bout 20 years. I really enjoyed night fishing.

[@jroyero]

It hurts when you release those Yellow Jacks man. 😂😂

[@I_love_biscuits283]

Relatable😅

[@ole.jahnke9534]

Awesome video Rich, Keep the videos coming.

[@dougfuller4871]

We pay $7:00 to put our boat in at Fort Desoto (for the day) near the Sunshine Skyway. You could buy a lot of bait, lures, +++ if the game commissioners would get real.

[@rickbellerjeau1718]

Great trip guys. You work a trip for sure. Lines tight here in Stuart

[@Dogsbody6162]

Another great video. I’ve yet to catch a yellow jack. Please watch yourself with those hand releases, especially in the sharky Florida Keys.

[@johnnypellegrino2681]

my second home!! I love fishing channel 2 Bridge for mutton's and permit!! Awesome video like alwasy.

[@pigsandapples]

Brilliant. Loved it!

[@daniuskytoledo6296]

Thank you for this and all the videos…i live in miami and go fishing off the keys bridges many times so i might c u one day

[@vatosssssssssss]

Ahhhh the local bait dealer 🤩

[@BryanTheCEO]

Love the content! I gotta step my game up 💪🏼. Tight lines!

[@ilanstifel6388]

Not even watched it but i know its gonna be a banger

[@koshonispell6963]

Your content and cinematography get better every year

[@corkycoursen-tv4wv]

Great video Rich, love the Keys. Nice quality fish, tax man is always around , careful with hands in the water releasing fish… Those sharks are no joke. The kayak would have been a bit sketchy… Have a great New Year’s. Cheers

[@user-co1bq4sq5m]

Love your videos man your an amazing fisherman 🙌

[@LLDWITHJ]

Incredible video! Non stop action

[@bobkirk942]

Boat launch used to be free in marathon!!! Sombrero beach used to be free too lol money grab in marathon 😂😂

[@tylergolomb7204]

I'm going down to Marathon in February and that is exactly where I'm splashing my Fish Pro but not looking forward to these absurd prices to use the ramp and to park. Last year it was free too, sweet video though as usual!

[@lancebarnett651]

Bro I love your shows I love the fish man I wish we could hook up and fish for you I’ll be awesome I try to watch about every show you put out but what I like about this one today was how are you slip that little Jack over into the boat that was really cool lol

[@davewylie654]

That bridge is an epicenter for giants!!! Biggest sharks I've ever seen monster Tarpon and way more Grouper and Snapper than people realize

[@markrosenquist8259]

I’ve always had better luck at Bahia Honda, the old bridge specifically. But yeah 7 mile is great also.

[@markm391]

Great episode 👍🏻

[@WarofAges258]

Hahaha that was funny rich, another good vid! We all wanted to see those 2 big fish that cut you off but maybe it was a shark, the 2nd time it hit. 🎉

[@yakitiyyakkayaks4323]

Yellowjack great eating good job

[@lawrencepowell633]

I had a Spanish filet my finger when I was releasing it the same way you did. Be careful. Awesome video.

[@makkavalley9144]

Good stuff giving Russell a shoutout 😁

[@Alconn123]

Banger video as expected.

[@JAK3080]

Great video. I don’t think I would be doing those hand releases with all the big ass Bull Sharks around there.

[@JASKALTARA]

Wow..luar biasa anda hari ini dengan tangkapan dan memancing ikan dilaut biru..sangat memuaskan hasil strikenya🐟🐟🐟👍

[@Hlortizbaez]

70$ to launch is a way for FL. Keys to tell outsiders they are not welcome unless they are at a hotel. If you’re a keys resident you don’t pay $70. That is just not right

[@younggohards4225]

Stay out

[@federic1988]

fishing next to some bridge with cars in grey water ? Lol

[@Hlortizbaez]

@@younggohards4225 you so brave!

[@anthonymora6328]

But it’s fair that you get to come down to our waters and fish for free how does that make sense

[@user-rl3lb4rw1q]

​​@@anthonymora6328do you own the waters ? People like you make fl look so bad 😞 I pay 98,000 a year on taxes for my house 🏠 let everyone come down and enjoy our beautiful waters

[@texoutlaw1732]

Great vid guys.

[@joshuafigueroa6]

Nice action 💯

[@gowokegobrokee]

Sitting here in MA pissed off I don’t live down south to fish year round. Until May hits I can’t get my Black Sea bass fix in to start the season

[@Snookhunter2669]

Monster Yellow Jack holy cow dude

[@I_love_biscuits283]

My fav Fish to Eat is blue Runners Every friday blue runners😂😂😂

[@michaelcohen2345]

Back to 7 mile bridge!

[@jonmenges2256]

Rich with the annual shark encounter in the Keys 😂

[@arielpoholek5836]

The grouper at ~7 mins was a juvenile black, not gag, similar looking, but blacks have more rectangle shaped markings, and gags have markings that look are kiss shaped. Also gags are more grayish green, instead brownish black.

[@Bryan-ec6ts]

That place used to be free to launch like 6 months ago

[@aaronland7701]

Great content

[@Cgjake561]

Awesome videos 💯

[@networkzoutdoors6846]

You should go back to the keys soon!

[@wjstewdog]

Great video

[@flowodon.3556]

What swimbait and hook were you using for the swimbait?

[@winpipefishing]

Very Nais mate

[@Krystal_Lynn]

the sharks are why I won't Kyak in Florida 😂

[@EricSmith-mu1oe]

It’s really not that bad tbh. Worth the experience

[@KaryVi]

I'm on the "I'm afraid of sharks" team too 😂

[@mrpainter7519]

Hi Rich, what Kind of Swimbait your fishing ? Best Regards from Germany. Love your Vids Bro.

[@johnk5498]

You may lose your hands letting fish go like that in the Keys. Nice day fishing.

[@Grantdaryn]

Catch and release be killing me

[@n.p.l.3741]

Use some heavier gear near the structure then? Solid video

[@mulletoutdooradventures6286]

$70 to launch and park 😂😆😂. They are out of their minds. I'm waiting for them to start jacking ramp prices up in NJ

[@MMARYASMR]

Super 😊

[@danm3340]

Hey Rich fellow long island fishermen here. If you had the option to chose FL/LI, which one would it be? I see you made the move down south, but seems its $$$ down there too.

[@johnarrowsmith8032]

Yes g nice 👌

[@OCBeachLife]

$70 to launch ? Thats insane !

[@devilskids8597]

Dam that butiful intro

[@drumrboy80]

We found a couple juvenile goliaths a few weeks ago. My first time hooking up on one, got my ass kicked to say the least.

[@Topflightfishing]

Just curious on what knot you use for braid to leader

[@bradsaunders5367]

$70 launch fee! They getcha in the Keys!!

[@lancebarnett651]

How do you know your Drag is right in other words how do you set ur drag

[@Wiseguy58]

Rich, you said you now do charter trips. How do I hook up with you? I will be right there in Stuart the next 3 months. Please let me know, Thanks!

[@tomterrific2018]

What brand braided line are you using ?

[@jayrusso3227]

The other guys not catching anything! Every time you get one on he sounds like "damn another one"!

[@bobbymadison2199]

[@geoffreypellegrini3187]

South end of 7 mi has free ramp

[@ReelPressure]

Rich if you see this what is the name of your gopro attachment on your neck?

[@blakewingerter6593]

arent the yellow jacks good eatin?

[@Royal_fishing-uf3hl]

what swim bait is that ?

[@atuuschaaw]

♥

[@jimcathcart5116]

You can launch all up and down the keys for free

[@jeremywettig4330]

I was shocked to see that price last year when we went for lobster season. They advertise marathon as a boaters vacation destination but they clearly are just gouging the price hard as they can. We spend money on hotels, restaurants, shop, etc. 70 dollars for those ramps is bullshit. We just drove across 7 mile bridge an launched at the free ramp

[@duffmeister6480]

Why would you pay $70 to launch and $40 for some bait ? I think that’s totally insane. Not me !

[@t-bonejones3576]

And is it not illegal to tie up to a marker? That is a marker on the end of the channel wall. It is definitely illegal to tie up to a bridge piling. Just saw Bearded Brad get reprimanded by FWC for doing that ! Be careful !

[@rmbnoobz2368]

Anyone ever use baby snook for bait?

[@kellyk3889]

7:02 that looks like a black grouper, not a gag

[@t-bonejones3576]

I thought it was illegal to anchor in a marked channel

[@Stottzy777]

Does the other dude catch fish too? lol

[@Sicre-]

What are those rods

[@MarioHernandez-ed2de]

What is the name brand of swim bait?
