Two OFFSHORE EPIC Surprise Catches - One Day Red Snapper Season Attempt....

Nomad Vertrex Max Vibe, amzn.to/4cRvoda (I was using the 110 size)
Nomad Gloves, amzn.to/4bSjkaj
Thank you all so much for watching this video! Unfortunately, I could not catch a Red Snapper, on the one day the season was open July 13th 2024. But at least I found a nice Amberjack to eat the nomad vibe and a frisky sailfish to eat a Bluerunner meant for a snapper on the bottom!

you've got a lot more patience than i do regarding boats driving through your bait. i'd be making those guys feel either shame or fear

Can't stand bird dogs. 🦈

[@FishAholicTV]

haha yeah I try not to create confrontations out there. Next thing you know then theres a video on the internet of me yelling and it makes me look like the bad guy. There were 6 or 8 other buoys he could have fished. I do not know why he drove right up on me. I think he mis-read the current.

@@FishAholicTVsmart move brother. It’s hard but life (and the ocean) goes on. Plus, today, you never know how people (especially in the wrong) may react. The high road is a lonely one lol

[@schuylerhoufek]

what a douche😂

[@IWillNotArgueWithMorons]

@@FishAholicTVI think you were rewarded with a sailfish for your tolerance of their asshole move! If they read the current wrong…and were decent human beings…they would have apologized profusely. Being the bigger person is hard…I admittedly am not as often as I would like…maybe 80% of the time 😂 I need to be better….appreciate the reminder that it just isn’t worth it🙏🏻🤙🏻 🎣 Tight lines

There’s an entire ocean and dude pulls in between you and your bait unreal

[@johnnevin7759]

Red Snapper day is when all the googans pull out of dry dock. They don’t know fishing etiquette. You did a good job keeping your cool.

[@FishAholicTV]

i gotcha, I felt like a goog out there with the red snapper. I tried and it humbled me to try more until I learn where the Reds hang out. Another reason to keep on fishing haha. At least I found the AJ and Sail.

[@epicbagelswag]

I’m a fellow local and I can tell you that guy would’ve heard an earful for cutting in front of me like that. Props to you sir.

[@timechild1261]

Glad your with Nomad. You lost so many that one trip. Expensive lures.

Love the unexpected nature of how this outing went. Who would have thought you'd miss your target fish, but get two huge delights anyway!

[@SS_Luke]

Congrats on the Nomad Design sponsorship! Definitely well earned. I've been seeing you use their braid line, lures, and rods. You are as well the reason why I picked up some of their braided line with a bunch of other gear I ordered since I am beginning to get into fishing.

[@andraewynn5565]

Who just pulls in front of somebody while they see you catching bait

[@FishAholicTV]

haha i guess that guy does. Also there were like 6 or 8 other buoys to fish.

[@Gunz4glory]

Good Evening Rich, I have many fond memories launching from that boat ramp in Ft Pierce. Thank You for all your videos. They are so much fun to watch.

[@Kltpzyxm17]

[@FishAholicTV]

Yeah I think. he mis-judged the current going out but there were like 6 or 8 other buoys to fish. They all have bait on it. I think he thought I was on a hot bite.

[@SD-ft6gs]

So patient with the other boaters, definitely would have said something, but I do understand your logic of avoiding confrontation. (I still think there needs to be a real licensing process especially taking boats offshore.) You definitely seemed tired and down by the end there. Hope the fishing, life and the good days come back soon! Thanks for another great episode. (I mean, who else would be blasé blasé about two amazing fish like that!)

Welcome to South Florida, that is normal, unfortunately. Go hook a few dolphin and see how many boats show up

[@michaelsmull6557]

I thought you knew that guy and said get in there. Wow

[@rogerr7856]

Guys with a bigger boat do that a lot. Compensating.

[@lendog725]

Up here in new Smyrna beach went out off shore and caught nothing but red snapper on every day except the one day we can keep them!

[@lee8287]

If someone drives through my baits during a 1 day season, I may explode.

[@Ducky2o]

People have the whole ocean but they decide to drive right where you are casting. It seems some people get enjoyment out of annoying others.

[@TheBoundlessNexus]

Yeaaaaaa i woulda casted STRAIGHT a 3oz pyramid at the boat and said "oops, just like you I guess I wasn't watching what I was doing..." Totally understand and respect you not reacting though, you would instantly get recognized and have problems online... Frankly it's the mature thing to do (I mean maybe say something, you are an incredibly knowledgeable and respectful video creator after all, and it could have honestly helped two people who just may not have known better). But, either way, you just being real and entertaining is what keeps me (and I assume many others) coming back! P.s: I used the "juice" to make homemade gulp lures (soaked some DOA shrimp overnight in it), great results just hard to get on the hook being that slimy 😂

[@stevens6293]

Idk Rich that dude pulled a messed up move, it boggles me there are some folks like that. I bought a spook plug and wow I caught so much bluefish and stripers yesterday at Martha’s Vineyard off my center console! Thanks to you!!

I need to make it out there! That would be awesome! Yellowtail kinda look related to Amberjack.

[@coltonbone5947]

We got lucky out of cape canaveral it was a grind but we ended up with our 3 man limit 18,20,a a 22 lber we only got like 5 bites all day and 2 were on flat lines that’s how we caught the 20lber. It was a grind though not gonna lie.

[@EvanThompson-jl6ow]

Bro after just returning from my first ever trip to the keys and fishing around marathon for a week, I'm fucking ridiculously jealous of your fishing. I went 0 for 14 on tarpon. How the hell do you keep them hooked?? 😂😂 I'm so stoked for my trip already next year lol. So addictive

[@FishAholicTV]

Haha it takes some time to figure out the perfect setup, hook, and technique. But you'll get there. Maybe next year try a thinner wire circle hook if you were fishing bait. Or if you were using lures. I'll be honest some pre-rigged lures don't have a great hook for catching Tarpon. That is why I started making my own jig heads for swimbaits with a hook that is strong yet sharp enough to penetrate and stick. It took some trial and error to find the perfect combo.

[@EvanThompson-jl6ow]

@FishAholicTV yeah man. My son managed a pretty good 25 pounder on his freshwater spinning set up. But even then, he went 1 for 22 or something stupid. Oh and he had his 275 screaming one night from a big shark. Amazing place

[@badvibes501]

Hey Rich longtime sub here! Just wondering is it not better to vent the fish, rather than sending them down still bloated? Does the pressure release on the way down? Just asking cause I've only ever vented them, so I dont know any better. Excellent Video btw!!!

[@FishAholicTV]

Thanks so much!! AJs usually can get back down on their own because they are a resilient fish. They just need a good head first release straight down! The sailfish was caught near the surface and usually doesn't get barotrauma.

I don't know much about fishing/boating etiquette. But I feel like purposely crossing in front of you was completely unnecessary when he could have just pulled up on the opposite side of the buoy. As for the buoy I'm not sure if there's a fishing etiquette regarding buoy's. I would imagine that anything in the ocean is fair game for everyone but, it seems like a slimy thing to do if someone's posted at a buoy.

[@FishAholicTV]

haha yeah it was disrespectful. I think he misjudged the current. But still there is like 6 or 8 other buoys out there to fish for bait. I don't know why he didn't want to fish a separate one.

[@jasondeansmith79]

I think Ocean fisherman have less respect than freshwater speed boats. I fish freshwater and I swear those guys stay farther away. It floors me how disrespectful they are.
