I must say that in the jungle of lifestyle channels on YT, this is about as good as it gets for me. Such a natural and calm vibe to everything you guys do and when you add high quality editing and production, it just a pleasure to watch. More people deserves this channel in their lives. I really hope you guys hit a million and more subs one day. .)

[@mattrohdenburg7126]

Love the calm of this episode. Just if we catch something we catch something but enjoying the day more than anything. This episode nails exactly what boating should be! Thanks for another great episode.

[@LifeByTheBow]

Thank you Matt!

[@jasonbenjamin9371]

Clay, as always, you pack a whole lot of beautiful imagery in a short video that just calls us to the ocean as viewers. Stephanie, like any wildflower, just let yourself blossom naturally and the admirers will follow. Can't worry about the people that just plain hate flowers! You two are awesome and congrats on the 40k viewers. Honestly surprised it's not more!!

[@TechAndWanderlust]

This is really dope content! That water makes me want to cry as I sit here at my desk working at home in IL. The production is like watching a tv show. Especially when the lovely Mrs. starts throwing down in the kitchen. Looking forward to binge watching your videos.

[@pilot2002010]

I think I speak for everyone when I say, do not be nervous. You guys are awesome, you live in one of the most beautiful places in the planet and you have the life that many of is would like. So with that being said, you bring us peace and you make us dream. Keep the amazing job you are doing and God bless!

[@sherryllynnjones7077]

Well said pilot!

[@alextigera]

The opening footage with the sunrise is some of the best I’ve ever seen. Great job guys!

[@LifeByTheBow]

Thank you Alex!

[@stevenc2208]

This is a bad ass boat. Good job on the new build. I have a 32St with two 350 verado's and love it. Would love to move up but not in this market. Fish out of North Palm Beach Fl. We have taken it the keys and caught black fin on the hump. Boats in Maryland currently were I live full time.

[@jenmcpena5857]

Clay, you are a natural in front of the camera. Calm and informative. Stephanie, I admire you being able to tell 41k about your shyness in front of the camera. Please know, you are getting better and better with each video and I’ve watched all of them 👍. Stephanie seems a lot more comfortable at the dinner table. Love watching ❤️💜

[@joshfulghum2420]

The intro is absolutely incredible. I play this vid over and over ..from NC to WA state for work and I can't thank yall enough for bringing me back to the East coast through your content. I fished the gulf stream for years and this is the only way I get to enjoy that lifestyle again..thank you both :)

[@malcompsd18]

Good clean fun. Love to find content that isn’t negative, not inundated with foul language and FISHING! Lovely couple. Keep it up you two.

[@carlosvillanueva007]

Thank you for sharing your travels with us all. You guys seem very humbling and down to earth people. God bless and continue to share the journey

[@di4085]

This is so beautiful with the boat lit up at night. I love the water.

[@Fish-pi6my]

I would love to buy a boat like that!!!! But my wages too small 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I’m always dreaming through your videos. Lol 🙏❤️🤑🤑🤑😁😁😁😁 The Florida keys looks so beautiful. I’ve never been there. Would love to visit one day.

[@LifeByTheBow]

Thanks Kevin come down and visit!

[@roybuddle5487]

Well done and congrats on the channel! I just stumbled across you today. Having a wife who is passionate about boating and fishing is wonderful - and really key to getting the most out of the opportunities life has given you. Look forward to seeing more from you.

[@nrg4598]

Life is short and time is money so I'll get right to the point... you people rock..pura vida

[@LifeByTheBow]

Thank you so much!

[@tjclements0979]

I love how much this channel promotes recreational boating/fishing

[@mwar22]

My wife and I really enjoy your channel. We vacation in Islamorada when ever we can and it’s neat to see some familiar landmarks in your videos. It’s hard to find good fishing videos of that specific area bc the fishers are always so secretive about where they go and how they fish. I learn a little from every video, you have such great content balance. You’re great to watch together. From fishing, local spots and cooking, your videos get me pumped up to come back soon and have another great time! Thank you and keep up the great work! You’ll be at 100k subs in no time, so prepare to launch!

[@455LT1]

I've been following this channel for a bit and love it more and more each time. You guys are authentic and that comes across on the screen. I've been to the Keys twice but didn't have a chance to go boating unfortunately. I won't make that mistake again. We hope to be getting a 24' boat in the next two years and will definitely tow it down during the next Keys trip!

[@Rachelsfunvideos]

You earned yourselves a subscriber! This was stunningly beautiful footage! You guys look so happy together and are also completely living out my dream lifestyle. Your home is beautiful and your back garden is the crystal clear, life filled ocean! You guys are truly blessed. 💙 🐬

Thanks for subscribing to our channel. Welcome to our adventure. If you liked that video you will absolutely enjoy everything else we do.

[@kevinmyklebust910]

Thanks for sharing. Florida Keys is our favorite place to visit and we hope to be back next year if everything goes as planned. We`ll be watching thru alll the videoes and are eager to see more of your paradise. Best regards from Norway

[@melissagrimes42]

Just subscribed, this was my 1st video I have watched of you two, I enjoyed it! Thank you for reminding me why I left the mid west & made Florida my home. I have been here for 4 yrs & have been thinking about the Keys or Bahamas (private island for a resort or getaway). The Keys are beautiful & probably more practical for myself, unfortunately, my husband & I have separated after 22 years & now I am trying to focus on my future...thanks for putting that desire back into me. God Bless you both & looking forward to seeing more of your videos.

[@sherryllynnjones7077]

Go on & live that dream!! Won't come around again.🙏♥️🙏☝️👵

My new favorite KZbin channel. This is how to do it. Great work.

I don’t want to beat a dead horse here, but it’s worth repeating, absolutely, hands down one of the top five fishing channels on KZbin. The video quality is the BEST, content is amazing, I mean this channel has it all, from catch clean and cook, to fishing tips, to boating tips, everything is right here. Something for everyone, Clay is handsome, Steph is gorgeous, and both seem really grateful and humble. Subscribe, like and share please, I for one want to see more great videos from you two. Sorry so long on my comment.

[@alexmoody2456]

Great video. The quality is top notch.

[@chrisfagan7766]

Hi Clay and Steffane. Greetings from Alaska. I watch this video and I’m looking outside and it’s snowing! We still have 2 feet of snow on the ground, but thanks to you guys, we got to enjoy some sun and sandbar! We enjoyed Alaskan Rockfish fish tacos with a side of homemade coleslaw last night. We love your videos, you guys are “our kids”, congratulations on your marriage, and next winter we will be down to our house in Englewood. We want to come fish and play in your neighborhood and meet you guys. I really like my Avail hoody, very comfortable. I love both of your passion for what you do! Thank you, Chris and Julie.

[@jackmarkley7492]

Me and the Fam finally purchased out 22 ft boat with a single 200 Yamaha, it ain’t much but it gets the job done, great video 👍

[@LifeByTheBow]

Thanks for the love Charles! I actually shot majority of this video besides the tuna fishing 💪🏼

[@XYtotheZ]

KZbin algo bringing me here. Bravo. Great guy, great girl, great locations, great lives. Had my boat here in NY for about a decade. Had to get rid of it. (Don't ask) When my wife and I retire south sometime during the next decade I am going to get back into the boating lifestyle.

I would LOVE to see you guys get on some fish like that.

[@germaincouture6483]

You should try massaging the blood out of the fish when you're bleeding it. Head down over a bucket of water. Massage from the tail forward to the head and push all the blood to the front where it's leaking from. Another thing to make sure you get it all out is to make sure you're dipping it in water to help the blood flow out and to prevent the blood from coagulating.

[@Ren_O_72]

Just stumbled on your channel and we absolutely love it! We are not bot owners and being from NY did not grow up around the ocean. We are heading to SIGSBEE Naval Station in our RV in November and it is our first time in the Keys. Great videos and great information. You all keep the videos coming and be safe out there on those waters. 👍🏾
