Every time I start one of these, I can't help but acknowledge how much work Rich puts in to his filmography! Pleasure to watch Thank you sir

[@FishAholicTV]

Thanks so much! It is a lot of work behind the scenes. It is fun catching fish. But the preparation, and break down at the end of each of these trips makes me sleep really good in the end of the day hahaha.

[@pigsandapples]

Love the chaotic intro at the launch. That stuff happens to all of us from time to time - very cool that you owned it and started the video with it. Thanks man

[@robertlorea4630]

Sorry about the swim but love the work you do. Your content is more than a highlight real, that’s what makes the channel great. You keep it real.

[@FishAholicTV]

Thanks so much and nothing to be sorry about. It woke me up nicely and now that I think about it. I laugh at myself 😂 the ramp was extremely slippery this day. It happens.

[@shirleyragavadoo6158]

My nerme is shawn 🎉

[@happymethehappyone8300]

When you want to go swimming Rich,, Just jump right on in,, There's no need to make excuses just for us 🤪

[@FishAholicTV]

Haha yeah ok your right 🤣

[@Stevenrosswhite]

Offshore fishing in Florida is so frustrating these days. Sharks for days. Great video as always and thanks for putting in so much work to produce such high quality productions!

[@fantomphoenix6170]

Lots of people are getting fed up with dealing with sharks. They are a sign of a healthy ecosystem but god damn are they frustrating to deal with. Good fix is to hook into one and fight it, usually works at scaring a lot of others off. Lots of guides are killing them to keep others away. Dead sharks make for a great repellent to some species so there has been some products coming out to mimic that.

[@FishAholicTV]

Glad you enjoyed Steven yeah unfortunately I guess that is just the name of the game unfortunately. I’m glad I caught two snapper at least.

[@evanburton6272]

Here in SC sharks aren’t quite as bad as FL, but still like every other fish you catch lol

[@happymethehappyone8300]

I KNOW i'm not the only one that got a little chuckle when Rich said,, "Just one snook & then done",, Yeah,, ok Rich 🤪

Good video. The live scope is dope.

Great video per usual, Rich! I could feel the frustration when those cudas/sharks were robbing you there. Also, monster snook at the end man. Excited to see what you're going to do next with that livescope!

[@G-Force_70]

Even though u went for a swim u gave me a few good ideas for launching on my own. Great segment as always Rich.

Wow, it almost got away from you! Need the remote for trolling motor since it is a self-deploying one. Such a great video with all the live under water shots. Love watching your videos, thanks for sharing and taking us along for the ride.

[@chrisw422]

I bet that his remote was on the boat

[@FishAholicTV]

Hahaha yeah my remote was on the boat but even still. It doesn’t deploy great on its own. Now I normally have to give the head a little push for it to deploy.

[@FishAholicTV]

Glad you enjoyed at least still. It was still really fun filming this video! Tight Lines!!

[@donyoungblood9845]

Try some WD40 in the hinge to see if it will displace any moisture or corrosion that might be in there.

[@donyoungblood9845]

@@FishAholicTV also wanted to ask about your 4runner, what year and is it 4wheel drive? Looking maybe to get one, what is the weight of your boat and trailer and does the truck pull it good? Thanks for you help.

[@D2uned]

If you go fishing, "stuff" happens, LOL. Glad it turned out fine and you are back after it.

[@FishAholicTV]

Yeah exactly. I was happy how the day unfolded. Surprised by a nice swim that woke me up.

[@atuuschaaw]

Good dinner and some healthy snook! A Win! ♥

[@corkycoursen-tv4wv]

Nice snook , love to see those big ladies released. Bummer on the barracuda’s and sharks. I have done the same as you did with your boat line. I trailer my kayak and usually tie off the line. Scares the heck out of you watching your boat heading out without you….😳😳😳😳😳 As always thanks for taking us on another adventure. Cheers

[@FishAholicTV]

Thanks so much!! Yeah it was not a good feeling watching my boat float away haha. Good thing I’m a decent swimmer.

Thanks so much!!!

[@ryanbranco9786]

Yep, you can tell when a man has “other” things on his mind ❤!! The brain “functions” become “malfunctions” and things like putting the vehicle in “P” before exiting are “gone with the wind”. RFLMAO, I was yelling “the rope, the rope” splash, um sharks? Way to keep it together!! That Brazil trip can’t get here soon enough!!

[@FishAholicTV]

I put it in Park it just started sliding on the ramp. But yeah fishing and traveling so much it catches up to you. I got lucky. My rope all tangled and balled up at the end didn’t help either. It should have been extended fully.

[@ryanbranco9786]

Love your vid’s Rich. I missed out on the striper surf run this year out here in the Monterey Bay. I couldn’t buy a fish! Spooks and swarter’s were doing it. Glad it all worked out!!

[@Tackleinformer]

Not the best way to start the day but good recovery! Haha As always, very well put together video, no fluff straight to the good stuff. Nice catches.

[@daveorr6848]

And that my friends is why you keep your Ulterra remote with you when launching. 😜😜😜

[@jeffknowles3952]

That live scope thing looks awsome. Youll have to give an instruction video on how to use it.

[@davewylie654]

Rich I've been fishing the Keys for a living for almost 20 years and have had 1000 encounters with Flipper eating my fish/bait but never once have I hooked one or even heard of one hooked. Their echo location shows them exactly where that hook is its crazy

[@FishAholicTV]

Yeah that is amazing. Super smart and very attuned creatures!

[@davewylie654]

Yeah they are nuts man grab a 40 pound king and give you back the lips with the hook

[@jacobmartin5316]

How often do you launch there? Ive seen your setup there once and wanted to say hi but you were out on the water ig. I moved here for work and your channel is what inspired me to get into saltwater fishing (freshwater before) and has taught me a lot. I recently invested in a hobie outback and I am loving it (love your setup). Thanks for all your content, and I am still learning a lot! P.s. Got one of your rods and it is really good quality stuff. Caught my first snook on it. 24"

At first I thought you were doing the releasing of the boat and had some hotshot move with the spot lock lol.

[@FishAholicTV]

Hahaha nope 🤣

[@donaldassard67]

Tie your leash to the trailer wench. Keep rope straight down the middle of the trailer, as you pull trailer out rope stays attached and is easily grabbed. Only swim if you forget to tie or rope breaks. Props for showing and not editing out funny stuff.

[@FishAholicTV]

Hey Stephen, yeah I would love too fish out of there. Here is my email [e-mail] I was actually just up in Montauk for a couple days and the Bluefin bite was off the charts. A lot of them are starting to migrate out of the Northeast and probably down your way.

[@FishAholicTV]

Haha yeah having the end of the rope all balled up in a knot isn’t a good plan 🤣. If it wasn’t i probably would have had the extra time to grab it. You live and you learn hopefully I’ll see you out there down here one day 🤙🏻

Hahaha I was still a little tired from the day before. That swim definitely woke me up. Especially when mullet started getting chased just outside of where my boat was floating.

[@jimparker7778]

The inshore fishing can save you a lot of money on (boat) gas; but the condition of the inshore environment sucks. Try to imagine what fishing Charlotte, or Tampa Bay would have been like 150 years ago! As a young guy I could always scare-up a stringer of reds or trout in the bay. Today it's very spotty. Offshore the scene has suffered from over-fishing at times but the condition of the stock is improving.

[@natan8704]

Nice vids ! What net are you using ?

[@MartinVSmith6334]

I am sure that berth had a piling that would accepted your line! almost!

[@FishAholicTV]

Nice job w the snook ! Didn't know you could target them w sonar. The sharks and cuda SUCK.

[@mofofishingshow772]

Keep videos coming out of Martin County! But, If you're gonna catch bait atleast stringers on sabikis, you wanna be up and down, not casting 40yrds... An if you wanna catch bait like commercial fisherman get like 9ft pole and tie 2 sabiki rigs together. Much respect though, I appreciate you making video. OMG, that spot is a no go with that many cudas, that almost bad is the unchecked sharks in area 😂... Keep videos going, I'll follow you

[@mofofishingshow772]

Yo, what kinda rod & reel (bait caster) you using? What's the speed on that reel too?

[@Ryancuprewich]

Any reason why the car did that? I don’t have a boat and I always wondered how cars/trucks ended up getting totaled by needing up in the water at boat ramps. I am assuming it’s something to do with the 4 wheel drive but not sure

[@FishAholicTV]

The ramp had a lot of growth on it. I swear I put it in park but it just kept sliding. Usually for launching I don’t use 4 wheel but from now on maybe I will. Usually when I pull the boat I always have it in 4wheel because of course that is when the load is the most when pulling it out.

[@rbg2325]

Hey Rich! Do you know of anybody down there that might be looking for a deckhand/mate on their fishing boat? I just finished working up in Alaska as a charter deckhand for the season and im looking to move down in the Florida area. Just wondering if you had any connection! Love your vids. Thanks

[@ceecee-thetransplantedgardener]

Please excuse my ignorance - but has the issue of sharks and 'cudas stealing hooked/caught fish - and bait - become worse over the last few years? Or has it always been like this? Thanks for another great video and I hope that "snappah" was tasty!

[@FishAholicTV]

From what I’ve heard from locals it’s gotten worse. Some think there are to many sharks. Idk. Maybe a local Floridian will chime in.

[@ceecee-thetransplantedgardener]

@@FishAholicTV Thanks. I was born/raised in FL but left the state years ago. I don't recall this being a "thing" back then ... but again, it wasn't my focus either - soooo. It reminds me of bears, coyotes (and similar) learning to raid human occupied camp sites - as in the "wildlife" has gotten smarter about an easy food source.

[@jamaldajani7642]

What’s the lure that was used for snook?

[@robsycko]

What is the range on that trolling motor remote?

[@FishAholicTV]

It has probably about a 40 yard range. But I didn’t have it in my pocket and when launching. Also sometimes it gets stuck when deploying. So I don’t trust it enough to rely on it while launching.

Isurance maybe. test before launch?@@FishAholicTV

[@alexdolly6077]

There was a lot of growth. Maybe it was a rainy weekend so a lot of people didn’t launch for a few days. Typically this ramp isn’t that slippy. But this day I had to hold on to the truck just to walk to the tongue of the trailer to hook it back up. Or I would have slipped. It was like black ice.
