[@oriel229]

I like this fisherman, with his swearword free running commentary, no drum music, and meticulous attention to the ecology of the ocean.

[@randy-pf5du]

No drum music lol what does that have to do with anything

[@electricaf365]

Lol

[@skatonio]

@@randy-pf5du it has to do with the viewer experience

[@williamfindspeople4341]

Yeah no swearing, I enjoy that part of comments.

[@bizman45390]

This young man knows his fishing a great channel to watch.

[@teedub127]

Even though we are on different coasts I've learned enough about saltwater fishing from you that I bought a combo license, for the first time ever, to start fishing for some of the species in the Puget Sound. Thanks for the great content and keep them coming.

[@markseffels6182]

Something about that saltwater. Some of the prettiest "sky views" ,sunrises and sunsets, moonrise, constellations. Just beautiful. Makes a great added bonus and some you'll never forget.

[@frankschannel2642]

Hahahaha...I love how he characterizes a ~19 inch flounder (we call 'em fluke up here) as a "doormat." Not even LEGAL to keep here on Long Island, New York! Up here, "doormat" STARTS at 25 inches! Enjoyed the video very much though!

[@jim7smith]

The two best parts of flounder are the catching and the EATING! Nice video, enjoyed it.

[@williamelliott4444]

I love seeing the work being done to the fishing pier. Hopefully someday they’ll be completed!

[@Karatosa]

Great video, thanks for showing the lures you use.

[@JsRiverCritters]

Hey man, love your videos! Especially the ones around Fort Morgan area. I’ve fishing for years down there, and started kayaking a lot more now on the bay side. Keep it up man, love the info/entertainment you provide!

[@baritony8763]

I remember playing the fish for fun , bringing them in slowly. Every video I watch has the anglers horsing them in. Savor the moment, tire them out a little--and yourself.

[@michaelshaw5481]

THANK YOU LORD FOR PUTTING THAT SKY THERE , that my friend is something great..........seriously you put the info out about the "warning "for sailors and then you run through some ruff swells and inevitably were gonna get rained on MOST WOULD CUSS AND be rough and tuff.........just a blessed attitude

[@barbdaddy2122]

You earned yourself a sub. Nice video just love to watch people put fish in the boat. No antics, no challenges, no scripted cheese ball tom foolery.

[@annealbrecht8778]

I love how much you love catching...it keeps me smiling.

[@joshmassey7566]

Nice catch!! One of these days I will catch some flounder!! They look fun to catch! Great video!!

Nice flounder! Made my mouth water!!👍👍

[@clide427]

Dude I'm liking your channel bud just how you speak on everything good work and showing the other shot you know we would like meaning the boats like seeing resupply vessel get up and go NICE BRO

[@mikegegg30]

That is so cool love flounder fishing.

[@reinaldomoll]

I guess there's much smaller fish in your area. Up here in Jersey, a 19.5 inch fish is definitely not a doormat lol.

[@ericglenn4644]

Great fishing video with some really nice flounder

[@kenfldude]

Nice little honey hole right there, surprised there aren’t more boats around. Good video, nice keeper flattie as well.

[@BamaSaltwater]

Thank you much!

[@seeratlasdtyria4584]

If you want a truly BIG 'flatfish', you gotta head up to British Columbia, or Alaska. Up there we call em halibut:) My biggest so far, around 475 lbs. Biggest I ever saw was closer to 800, and yes, they can and will kill you given the chance. Also, never try to 'horse' a good sized one into your boat w/o administering adequate 'lead poisoning' first, 12 gauge is best. Since they are almost ALL "Muscle", just flapping around in the boat, they can break legs, and even knock out your transom- don't laugh, I've seen it done (from my boat standing off, watching some inexperienced fellows from Chicago, who came up to catch some "BIG" fish:) After pullling their target aboard, we then watched as they desperately tried to throw him back out :) We fished them out of the water as their rented skiff started sinking, and when we all got back to the lodge...well let me just tell you, I've seen men "drink" before, but THESE guys almost redefined the term :) They went home the following day thankful that the fish didn't get em with his jaws. Halibut up there have teeth that STRONGLY resemble those of a shark:)

[@VitaminDeeTV]

That’s a really clutch fishing hole for you! You can’t lose when you go there! I’m surprised you weren’t catching snapper and everything else at those rigs. Good stuff, bro! -D

I really miss catching big flounder up in jersey, they just arent the same here in Tampa Bay! Great video man!

[@MrTalmaguer]

Very good explanations you provide your viewers. You got a new subscriber. Tight lines

[@PeterOkeefe54]

Part of the flounder family fluke are more aggressive with MUCH larger mouths. John Skinner has some excellent underwater shots of fluke in pursuit of bait. We will target them this May off coast of Long Island NY out to Montauck. Thanx for a great video..tight lines!!

[@chrisgastis5535]

Goby ..sure looks like the ones here in the great lakes .....salt water imports from freighters...great videos bama! Love fish for watever type shows....keep em comin!

We were catching some nice flounder right over at DI a couple weeks earlier. Nice video-

Love some flounder... I need to fish for them more, but always a tasty bonus fish when we get a nice one as bycatch!

[@levigreen2154]

Flounder rock. Love that smell. Middle of Topsail island NC & both inlets is one of my favorite spots. Oct.of 97,the bite got crazy. 19-23 inch fish all through November & some of December. We owned a ocean front rental at the time .& Yes..me & my brother had to find new jobs.wouldn’t change a thing. Going to try that jig rig. . Take care.

[@kendixon6437]

I like the way you teach when you fish 🐟

[@baccoff3308]

Nice job!

[@PermacultureLongboarder]

Great video thanks for the awesome content. Stab those hardheads before throwing them back. They are taking over the bay and have already done a ton of damage in perdido bay. People keep tossing them and they keep multiplying while pulling out specs and flounder...

[@Vexins]

Late but they make great additions to a crab trap.

[@smileycamel5635]

Good video...I just subscribed..I like your clean commentary, and always giving thanks for the lord's blessings...nice job finding those flounder!

[@BamaSaltwater]

Thanks, welcome to the Channel. !!!!

[@mandihoward5261]

@@BamaSaltwater this is a crazy bait for flounder but it works use a bucktail cut a strip of bacon about 3-4 in long tie the bacon to the bucktail hook with fishing twine it works dont know why bacon has a strong smell so im thinking thats why bump alond the sea floor you will fell a weight let him eat it for a few the set the hook.

[@kayakflyfishingschool]

That was a really nice door mat indeed!! Great catch and great video!!

[@BamaSaltwater]

I don't like leaving hooks, lead, or fishing line a the water or sealife. Also, this fish fed four different families ;)

[@kayakflyfishingschool]

@@BamaSaltwater I like that you pick up trash and other things that others leave behind, I always carry trash bags with me in the kayaks or when walking the beach to do the same thing. That was some happy families, I am sure, that fish was put to great use. I am sure it was delicious I like flounder...especially fresh caught ones!! I like Sheepies a bit more though they can be tougher to clean.

[@chuckyoneil2853]

Felt like I was out their with you,Beautiful 🌅.

[@RussellHoughton]

I love flounder fishing. I spend most of my summer after them.

[@ptrollip1]

Awesome footage. I’m dropping my GoPro in the drink tomorrow to try. Last week’s video shows me using the Chasing M2 ROV for the first time. Quite hard to control, and heavy and space consuming on a small boat. Can’t wait for tomorrow…..

[@codyreece7871]

Id like to see a video of you trying those lures off of the pier. I think you'd do good guessing. I mean iv only got to fish at the ocean a few times but I think you might have luck

[@buddyprice7541]

Great video! I also admire the sunrise and peacefulness of being on my boat. Catch em up!

[@herbcounselorh7734]

Thank you Lord... amen.

[@popspaintsminis7484]

I'm worried about fishing so close to a rig. Broken fishing lines tangle divers down to do maintenance. In the UK there's a 200 yard exclusion zone to protect divers - in the early days divers were killed when tangled in fishing line. Just saying.

[@Dave-eu9jj]

Good video brother, I like the fact you threw back those 14"ers.

[@phuel4u1]

Go BAMA my mom was raised in Chickasaw Alabama and that's where all my aunt and uncle and cousins a few have passed away but we still go visit down there they live in Saraland and we go down fishing right there in the bay love your videos bro bring back a lot of memories

[@freebird4660]

When you fish for the flounder I always use tubes and it always works the best for me

[@kylemarkloff4451]

For the big girls you want Berkely gulp with a ball jighead(fancy one if you like) and a teaser a foot above is the way to go....in my humble opinion of course

[@lonniehall9006]

Have a blessed day, from Kentucky

[@tom-cu4te]

Do you think maybe someday you could do a catch and cook on puffer fish . We used to catch them in Maryland . Great eating fish . Thank you

[@familymatters2]

Caught and gigged some nice flounder at that very peir! It'd be great if they'd finish that construction lol!

[@BamaSaltwater]

You and me both!

[@bennettoharriott]

Hey man Im looking to buy my first boat and one of the things I need is storage. I noticed you cooler was under the rear passenger seat. I thought way cool I like that. What kind of boat are you using? I want to get an idea of the specs so I can choose wisely.

[@CaptCollier]

Nice Flatties. Idc what anyone says, A 19" flounder is a good one in my book!

[@AnthonyAngler]

19" is just at the keeper mark here on long island NY

[@CaptCollier]

@@AnthonyAngler well y’all obviously have bigger flounder than we do down south. Just like we rarely see bluefish over 3-4lbs, but on the east coast they catch them all the time 15+lbs

[@AnthonyAngler]

@@CaptCollier also overfished on the great south bay. I would rather keep less fish and and drop down to 14/15" Not being sarcastic. we have to throw back fish all day. Including many good eating Fluke| flounder> some of those are fat just not 19"

[@Saltyoar]

That second rig you went to the sheep head were stacked on it this past weekend. We limited out in 1 hour.

[@raybates3119]

I remember being at Chandeleur probably 25 years ago. We were all fishing mainly cocaho plastics for Specks and before the trip I had bought several bags of off the wall colors. On one particular afternoon the fish wouldn't bite anything but red with a white head and I was the dude with red! LOL Of course I shared and we tore them up on red when they wouldn't bite any other color.

[@johncody2855]

Those tender boats throw the biggest wakes! Beware full when they are underway they can flip a smaller boat!

[@justaguy995]

Used to catch flounder from dock in bay with bacon for bait

[@ciroarriaga450]

I don’t know your location but in Texas starting this September keeper flounder are now 15 inches and up good luck

[@moblack5883]

That was last year it was changed to 15

[@kennethlocke4213]

Texas here too. No book nobody knows regs. Our DNR is retarted. Gator Garfish no size no quantity to one per day 4 foot and under. Change was in ONE YEAR! Impossible to go from plentifully to going extinct. Now? Gotta go on app or call game Warden and report. I GOT MY ONE GAR!! MENTALLY RETARTED TEXAS. I sent our DNR a message they all need to be drug tested per Fed criteria,"behavior consistent with drug alcohol use while on the job." They did this exact same stupid shit with sharks too. No limit. Next yr one per day. Sand blk tip only. That was a change too.

[@kennethlocke4213]

Sorry venting. Want a garfish 5-6 foot long or bigger? Trinity river. Let me know. This river it's hard to fish for anything else. Massive amounts.

[@glennstairs6798]

Very much enjoying your contact. Florida doormats Are a little bigger than the alabama doormats.😂

[@BamaSaltwater]

Hehe, thanks and I hear that. Alabama doormats have become a little lengthier now since the fisheries have done such a great job at restocking. They were sparse for a good bit!

[@jbfl5564]

We call those squirrel fish it's sand perch ..grouper candy 🤙

[@vaporwareproducts]

Nice job...

[@tributeartist]

The small guy that the shark was chasing is called a Squirell Fish. I catch alot of those offshore in Pensacola and Destin. Decent bait...

[@JM-jq7ft]

you're probably sponsored, and if so that's awesome. if you're not, the best curly tail in the market is the zmans, they come stinky, they have slits so you can add extra scent, and they never ever get worn out, u can catch 50 flounder on one of them good luck out there !

[@brettmorton6513]

Awesome videos! Can I ask what kind of boat you have?? Looks like the perfect size for one or two peeps on the ocean!

[@BamaSaltwater]

Thanks and the one in this video is a 2018 Scout 177 Sport

[@kennethlocke4213]

If u have a soft plastic with a cavity. Tube bait hollow cavity, crawdads cavity. Stuff the cavity with cotton balls. Now ur juice attractant will work 100X better and last 15-25 casts. Dead shrimp chop up. Leave in cup. Black oily juice for ur cotton balls. Oily salty scent rainbows every cast. Ever chase oil slicks following the birds? Same concept but strictly ur lure.

[@PheelTheJoy]

You should come out to the ship channel one morning and fish the Jacks off the stern of our shrimp boat. They just started showing back up. You'd have plenty of content for a video! Guaranteed to hook up nearly every cast and hold on when you do. We fish everyday the weather will allow us, just look for a white and blue lugger named the Miss Caylee. I'd love to give the viewers a wave.

[@rodbentfishing]

Got a link for those jigs you were using?

[@Paul20661]

6:35 i caught some of these long time ago when i was fishing with my uncle haven't been fishing in years,kinda wanna do it again now XD Got interest now after watching gameplay of the new game DREDGE which is amazing

Squirrel fish, aka Grouper candy

[@stevendevereaux5640]

A few deaed shrimp. You think there going to shrimp heaven 😋

[@manuelbover4816]

Here's an idea For you. You were using a 5" Plastics Why don't you use a 7 or an 8 inch For big flounder Remember the bigger the lure the bigger the fish It will help you weed out The smaller ones 👍

[@JamesJones-cx5pk]

This man knows where fish are.

[@wrightackle1]

Enjoyed watching you fish. Like others have said you keep it low key. I have quit watching beach bum and Angler up. They are too loud and obnoxious. You and Captain Collier are my local guys now. Keep up the good work.

[@timsparks4990]

I really like your channel. But east coast flounder are far different from west coast flounder. "DoorMat"? Hah....I was catching 40 pound flounder in Alaska. But, they are much different. Not as good to eat though. They are known as arrow tooth flounder. Fun to fight, but not eat. Besides the halibut are the kings of table fare in Alaska. Much like a flounder, but way bigger and tastier.

[@genoantinori5982]

Do you do any charter or know anyone who does

[@spitefulspear]

Out here in Pascagoula and just wanna say I share your pain with the hardheads. They will ruin a good day.

[@herokillerinc]

Fishing with live shrimp is addictive cuz you're always getting bit, but it's always the little ones.. if the little ones are out I'll throw down a block of chum and then throw some good fresh chunk mullet or pinfish on a knocker rig about 10 yards behind the swarm of little guys

[@masonbeliles9399]

it sucks in NC, the season for flounder is only in september and u can only keep 1 a day

[@kevinobrien2996]

They gotta be 18 up here nj and 19 in ny
