[@stripermanly]

@@hunterjohnson8202 was gunna use Bama Beach Babe. But, Matt would have got mad. 🤪

[@hunterjohnson8202]

@@stripermanly lollll nahhhh!!! Just gotta keep that 3 B name with him! Lol

[@okielawnguy]

When I got into bass fishing, I always thought it’d be cool to catch one of the peacock bass.

[@jeanlong4285]

You go girl

[@undisputedtruth4954]

It's nice seeing y'all occassionally fish together. All couples should do this. If nothing else, you get a meal or 3, and time to just be natural.

[@creekinwithcritter]

Courtney's excitement makes me so happy ❤

[@PSSKDerby]

Great video Bama & all! Some great catching going on and awesome to see Courtney getting some big ones.

[@justinbowman1761]

Fun stuff. Loving the dynamic of this trip. Keep on fishing! Thank you

[@budgregory8493]

What a great time you guys and Courtney are having. Really enjoyed it.

[@justinhayes137]

Looks like a fun start to the trip!! Can’t wait for the rest, enjoy fellas!

[@saltwateryankees2000]

Entertaining as always! Congrats on the first peacock! Still on my bucket list

[@tdduggan3179]

Dr's Pass where you started the morning is awesome. I grew up in Naples. We have caught tons of species there from grouper, tarpon, loads of snook, spanish mackeral, jacks, and cobia. usually you can't get skunked there but yes the water wasn't looking very good. Hope you all had a great time in Naples.

[@leerexrode1801]

Another great video Matthew. Congratulations to both of you and Courtney on your new PB peacock bass. Y'all keep up the great work

[@leerexrode1801]

Scammer is at it again

[@stevehogan8829]

If you're by Naples you will be catching Bass and Cichlids in addition to Snook and or Tarpon depending on the location Fracahatchee/Picayune Forest.. Seems funny seeing you guys fish where I've fished. lol Matt, I think you are the most like me out of that group. lol I'm heading over to the Everglades Feb. 3rd, always a fun trip and loads of Big Pecocks.

[@johnvaness8445]

Great Video, thanks!!

[@scottc543]

Excellent video, Matt. Thanks

[@ericadams496]

Love the South Florida trips!

[@Fishin-Girl]

I’m getting ready to do some freshwater fishing myself, one day hope to catch some peacocks. I do t think they are up where I’m at in NE Florida, so I’m have to find time to fish when I head down south FL. Thanks as always for the great content. SO GLAD to see Courtney out there with you! Go Fishin’ Girls!

[@danielpease4534]

Great peacock bass. Awesome vid. My wife out fish's me every time we go fishing. Hope yall have a wonderful time down there and I will see you on the next vid

[@riverratfishing]

Awesome video. Those were some amazing fish

[@mannymendez7504]

One of your best videos. 👌

[@hendosexperience4703]

Your four are having to much fun, great video.

[@comfortablynumb9342]

Cool video, I love the South Florida stuff. I should be fishin' for rainbow bass, cousins of peacock bass, in Costa Rica Tuesday. We're going next to a live volcano in a big man-made lake. Then I'm going to the Pacific beaches for snook, snapper and rooster fish. Should be fun. I'm thinking about filming if the fishin' is good. Might make a good way to start a KZbin channel. Check out guapote in Lake Arenal if you want to see what the big cichlids are like.

[@ericcorse]

Going to be a great trip have fun and good luck.

[@reginaldjones9924]

Peacock bass striking like lightning! Way to go Courtneyyyy!!

[@rdecook651]

some great fishing.

[@lorenoconnor5789]

I caught my first snook in the surf in Naples last August. Great video.

[@TheCaptainbeefylog]

Peacock Bass (not actually a bass, but a cichlid like oscars and tilapia) were introduced by FWC as an attempt at biological control of invasive species and an alternative sports fish. The ones you were catching are worth about $100AUD in the aquarium trade here in Australia.

[@robgover8341]

It is against the law to transport a live peacock in Florida so they definitely aren’t going in an aquarium. I think you can buy them through a pet store you just can’t move live ones you catch yourself.

[@klingonsexy]

I had to laugh when you and Brant mentioned "bed fishing" because there are a bunch of videos of folks camping out on frozen lakes, lying in their beds and fishing! Congrats Courtney on those peacocks!

[@chrissewell1608]

I am jealous... Always wanted to fish those canals for peacock bass. It is always ironic, taking the wife fishing, and she pulls out a lunker fish! Looks like you guys had a blast. I have seen that peacock bass love to smash a top water poppers, & even a top water spinner bait! Very aggresive fish. You guys should try them on the fly rod!

[@BreamBassBeyond]

Congrats on the first peacock, good video!

[@waterassassinfishingbuilds6122]

This is awesome and definitely on my bucket list!! So maybe y’all will know better than me why do they get so big in the Amazon river but you never see even 10 pounders here??? Also there’s different kinds of peacock but the ones with the stripes are the biggest reaching 20 plus pounds in the Amazon (I think)!

[@micbarca9777]

Love that kast master, caught so many salty critters on it and was able to get a 45lbs striper to the kayak here at Lake Powell UT. Thanks for the great videos, you're my favorite click baiter!

[@louv2425]

Buddy nice fishing 👍👍👍. Hit me up next time, I have some good peacock spots..

[@robhaynes7630]

Thank you for the video. I wish you great success with the new bait store,

[@geoffreybudge3027]

Great channel .

[@tippertip8878]

That jetty in the first clip is actually a great fishing spot on the spring/summer. Usually loaded with snook, tarpon, pompano, mackerel, jacks, and sheep’s.

[@stevedaniell7643]

Good vid BumMeister! Agree with the comment that Courtney should start a channel. Love it when you guys do a collaboration!

[@richnet12]

Coutney is a trooper!

[@christianjensen3182]

Ive got my everglades trip for this year scheduled, you guys are getting me fired up!!

[@danielvelez4001]

That was so cool 😂

[@robgover8341]

Courtney was doing awesome today!

Beach Bum Is The Best!!!🐟🦈🐠

[@patriciaguenzler9150]

OMG it's bloopers live LoL 😂 thanks 👍 also when Bank fishing for all us pro's 😂 know how to use a net worth saving The stress of dropping phones And fish 🐠 Nice catch Courtney

[@Fishing4Reel]

Flip flops on those rocks, sphincter factor 11. Encountering Panthers in flip flops, sphincter factor 0. 0 = poop your pants.😳

[@alexmartin7835]

Wish pa had places like this 😞

[@mikewhitaker2306]

Grew up the South Florida fishing The canals Best time to catch giant bass Right as the rain starts They like to eat before the water gets cloudy

[@truesailor45]

waw amazing i like its brows,..

[@richnet12]

Rocky start to the day!

[@jfam239]

That 2nd spot yall went to is my go to spot

[@gavingreene7807]

i was just over by that pass a few days ago down in Naples its real slow, yall should try the marco island or Bonita beaches

[@dlmsarge8329]

Brant is hilarious with the tiny rod. Does he do any Florida ice fishing with that?

[@cayminlast]

You need to try the "Quarry Lakes", on the road between Everglades city and Alligator Alley, check the maps there are multiple lakes, good place.

[@brianford1346]

Dropped off is right. Down there 3 weeks ago and deeper water hard to find and parking not at all what it used to be in Naples.

[@Do-UR-Research2749]

Yes, peacocks are not native to Florida. However, they were intentionally released in the late 80s or early 90s by FWC. In an attempt to control the tilapia population that was out of control. You couldn't keep them back in the day, and only in the past 20 years have they become sufficient enough to target and catch regularly. So you shouldn't treat them as evasive because they do serve a purpose.

[@DavidPYoung-ou2nd]

No flip-flops when fishing away from beach. lol 😂

[@henrykosky3919]

Ned rig.. all day in those canals..pop pop drop poppopdrop

[@NoleYakin]

Looks like a mayan cichlid aka atomic sunfish I catch them when I'm backwater pond hoping for micro tarpon in central Florida

[@iBon1wheel]

2:13 She 100% walkin on them rocks like a 95 y/o woman😂😂😂😂 at first I was like who tf is that?🤣

[@mattdeutsch2786]

Docs Pass? Caught my first Snook there on an outgoing it was loaded with bait. Awesome feeding when I was there Snook had the minnows pushed up to the rocks Dolphin had the Snook Pushed up. Saw a Dolphin eat a Snook 3 ft from my feet. On the walk out that morning I also saw a Trail where a Turtle came up and nested. Confirmed the trail when the guys came and marked it after sunrise. Another trip my son(8) caught his first Mangrove there off the channel marker! Shame it did not work for you that day. Good spot to try though.

[@occamsrazr9128]

Hello bamabeachbum I live and fish not too far where you were all at. Its been tough on the beaches with all the wind and cold fronts coming through plus after Ian theres been nothing but lizardfish, you might have better luck further south or in the back bays

[@johnshuler3699]

Awesome, what part of south Florida was this?

[@crabtownguy]

Now that's true fishing with all the little hiccups 😆

[@markpatterson1422]

Now it's time to try one for supper !

[@daniellagassee152]

great video as usual. thank you. So were you able to go by your old secret spot or is the damage still too bad from the hurricane. I was going to check it out last year but the hurricane hit 2 weeks before I went down there to see my brother. I went fishing for peacocks once several years ago down in Miami. This makes me start to get the itch again. As usual our wife's catches the bigger fish. lol

[@mikedoran4763]

"We're on a salt water fish'n excursion". OK, but you're fish'n with shiners in afresh water canal. 🤪😜😝😆🤣😂😅

[@eagleeye761]

Sent you & Brant a link to an auction that has a bunch of retail displays & equipment from a defunct Gander Outdoor store... you might find some things for your store...

[@PVCGolf]

A lot of my friends are still picking up a lot of glass on the beaches here in Fort Myers. Be careful & good luck. Wish I wasn’t so busy with work or I’d try & join y’all.

[@PVCGolf]

Are y’all going to be here next week? I got a good spot.

[@bonnitaclaus2286]

There are places in Florida, where you can eat, banquets every night, from land. The only things you have to buy are things like butter, a few vegetables, and CHOCOLATE😂! If you know what the different wild vegetables are, you may not even have to buy vegetables. I love Florida.

[@trudyeagan8160]

❤

[@thatfishindude5459]

Looks like you guys are in Picayune state park!

[@secularthinker]

Aquarium fishing woot

[@426superbee4]

Not seeing bait mean the tide is out. Best to fish in salt water on high tides. I could tell the tide was out! Oil rig plate forms, Jetties, piers, boat dock, and bridges are good places to fish for salt water fish. If the tide is out? YOU MIGHT AS WELL GO HOME ! > Salt water fish, schools with in high tides. That goes with shell fish to

[@ranierrentas4818]

Cool video!! Just don't turn your back to the water on those canals!~ There are gators everywhere !!!!

[@brianjeffrey1790]

Great video too bad she kicked your butt LOL glad you guys finally got your peacock bass

[@paulbeatty4211]

Thumbs up for coming down here.

[@wyoung3170]

Nice peacocks y'all, WTG Courtney

[@joshmassey7566]

I think the flip flops were not the best of choice in the shoe department!!! Great video.

[@rocket5106]

Matt how come you can handle the rocks on the Cape Cod Canal but not some sandy beach in Florida 🤣🇺🇸🙏😎

[@thomasgay7507]

Just saw Ayo & Yak Pak talking about the tackle shop on their Reel Deal Podcast.

[@ricks2907]

Pretty fish 🎣 th Matt cheers Ricky 🧜🏼‍♂️🦐💦🦀🙏

[@markstopkey4085]

Nice release of the phone! 😂

[@notbenjamincarder9137]

Great vid Bamma. On a side note, how goes the life of the surviving duck?

[@jackiebishop9574]

Oh, put me in coach I am ready to play today!!!!

[@rayhall3010]

Oscar's are just as good as bream to eat ,, my favorite fish to eat,, salt water is big crocker, the bream of salt water

[@michaeldabbs5830]

We used to catch those Oscars down in Panama. They are tasty!

[@lennyvansweden8135]

were you fishing on 41 or offshoot roads?

[@devincraig465]

I’m a Naples local and a fisherman that was a grouper that Jerry has a lot of big snook and the water was super dirty when y’all were here which isn’t good if y’all ever down here again, let me know and I’ll let you guys know where its been good

[@tippertip8878]

Don’t give ‘em ALL the Naples spots 😉

[@jfam239]

I'm born and raised in Naples

[@filegumbo]

Thank you , Brant for not wearing flip flops.

[@jimmy05369]

You really shouldn't turn your backs to the water. There are more gators than bass in the water.

[@benjaminpeters3885]

great thumbnail....

[@randyrobey5643]

Oscars are cichlids, and cichlids are aggressive fish. I had one in a fish tank years ago.

[@manbearpig9234]

Dudes you should check out the Colombian peacocks those things are monsters. A 9 lb peacock over there is considered small.

[@mikefavara6497]

Only have to be faster than the slowest person in a Panther situation! Lmao

[@Reaper_Fishing]

Out over everything to pack... forget about the shoes lol

[@_-_Xander_-_]

i haven’t been able to fish for too long

[@adamr1162]

I need a solid casting spoon as I’m headed to HI in a few weeks. What spoon was that, and can you hook me up with one? I’d pay, and shipping too friend!

[@texoutlaw1732]

Hey guys next time you go through town some different shoes might save a fall.

[@gregbarnes8828]

Great video you and your beautiful wife she is getting better and better I think I might have 2 heroes now ohh and don't cut your hair it's so dam cool

[@moisesramirez7898]

Was that the picayune forest?

[@brilliantfishingnc]

This 👍 is for Courtney and her 1st peacock bass!

[@stothal]

steep banks are a challenge, to be sure, be safe, avoid the gater bait stance...
