When you’re reeling the fish in and you stop reeling are you kind of forcing the reel to move or are you just stopping?

[@MarquisGunderson-nx3zr]

Replacement arrived!By the way, I did forget to mention that the original lure did have a decent strike however as most anglers will attest you can get a hit kzbin.infoUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 and fish will hang on and release lure. I used the replacement lure yesterday and ran thru a Shimano Waxwing, Kastmaster, Bobber (set to sink). I found the does run deep (I casting on the flats 3.5'). Make sure you adjust your rate of retrieve and rod tip angle (up) to prevent getting snagged on bottom. Used it a couple of times and action was very lifelike (looked like local bait fish for trevally), craftsmanship very good....however eyeball fell out. I asked for replacement and it is on it's way! It was very easy to change out treble to single inline hook.

[@pyre9396]

God I love this guy! Always tells us what he’s using and go into detail about everything on his rigs! Keep it up BAMA!!

This guy should have a million subs

[@TimNye850]

You have the jig tied on backwards. The heavy side is bottom. No biggie, but will give a better fall if the heavy side is unrestricted from line. Longtime subscriber- great show you put on!

[@BamaSaltwater]

Thanks! I realized that after talking with my buddy that slow pitches a lot! Thanks for the info. I used to high speed vertical jig a lot, but the slow pitch is something I'm still learning and fine tuning

[@Benny_Sims]

Mahi Mahi is, in my opinion, the best tasting saltwater fish.

[@St.Mikeyy]

Bama saltwater is the best channel thats why your my favorite youtuber bcz you always have positive energy god bless!

[@RoedererCristal]

As a weather fanatic, I just love the stunning cloud formations. Mani Mahi is an absolutely beautiful fish.

[@gamergods2889]

Maybe 2 days ago I complimented on your other video about 6 k subs gained in less than 2 weeks but you’ve gained around 3k subs since 2 days ago. Keep up the grind I love your vids, congrats🥳🥳🥳🥳

Really good video. Love the small boat offshore stuff. Appreciate how you teach and give details. Hope I get to go this weekend.

[@johnyewtc1]

You're the first fishing YTber in my subscribed list to use a left handed conventional reel, same as me. 👍👍👍

[@BamaSaltwater]

Haha! Yeah man. I have a bad left wrist from the Army, so it’s much easier to reel with my left hand and grip the rod with my right! Sweet !

[@tomnorman2668]

AWESOME video as usual!!! Thank you, sir.

[@Nbhighlights200]

Found this channel recently, love EVERY video i watched. Moving to Florida soon and cant wait to fish in the gulf!! This man became such an incredible fishing creator in such a short amount of time

[@larrygolden167]

Have you ever considered a Fell MOB device for your boat. You are out a lot by yourself and trolling leaving the helm. If you fall overboard with out something to kill the engine your boat is gonna ride off into the sunset without you.

[@ericlarson3629]

STEPHEN!! Glad to see you safe out there. If you're self filming you're doing awesome

[@Rowdy_Bikes]

Awesome fishing trip right there. Heck yeah!

[@jaratt85]

I've never seen anyone run the line to the split ring on the hook before.. We've always ran them to the one on the other end so the hooks trail like a tail fin.

[@smoochumsmcgee]

I love this channel, because he shows what he’s using and catches fishes that are native to my saltwater.

[@dasavage]

Since you made the comment about other boaters not knowing where they are supposed to be driving, that might be a good video to explain the rules of traffic. Nice Mahi and snappers👍

[@courtneylong4573]

I truly appreciate all the info you share with us about offshore fishing. I am learning so much and cannot wait to catch my first snapper on my own boat without a guide. Last time I went out I had a bit better luck and caught a few bonnethead sharks. I can fish inshore and have caught lots of red fish, trout, and flounder. All this offshore stuff is new to me. Love the content, and the educational info. Thanks from a new offshore fisherman in TX.

Good job my friend. I’ve been to bama a couple of times for church events. In the summer you just look outside and start sweating. Super humid.

[@SWFL_FISHING_239]

Looks like a good day of fishing

[@WFSfl]

I’ve been slow pitch jigging for about 3 years now would recommend smaller braid line about 20 pounds and a max of 40 pound leader that’s what I have used and works great.

[@maccheese9072]

Mahi mahi is one of my favorite fish to catch on a spinner rod they're just so fun to catch....

[@BrookieCookie5100]

Good job!

[@Txchef85]

the small jack was an Almaco Jack, they are very good table fare btw he just needed to be a little bigger but definitely worthy to put in the cooler

[@mikeanderson5500]

Great video brother enjoyed the hell out of it thanks

[@BamaSaltwater]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it

I tie my leader directly to the solid ring of the assist hooks. The jig is attached with a split ring to the solid ring.

I don't no what it is but those blue and white skirts are by far the best color combinations. If you new how many fish had been caught on a blue and white islander your jaw would drop it always produces atleast in the Atlantic for sure looks like the gulf too

mahi mahi are one of my favorites, fish so nice they had to name it twice! love it man! That's a saying we use on our charters when we catch one too. caught one a month ago just outside the outer bar on a little clark spoon in 20 feet of water, nice surprise! Solid vid Capt, keep up the good work!
