Guys, I gotta be real here. I’ve been watching fishing shows and videos for 35 years. Everything from Roland Martin, George Poveromo, Inside sport fishing, even the whiny twerp on BlacktipH. This is my second favorite video EVER!!! Out of many thousands. (Malcolm Florence, Big Fish Down Under, Ribbon reefs saga will never ever be replaced, sorry). You guys are phenomenal and I so very much love how real and how awesome you are. ❤️ 🎣 ⭐️

[@Gabriel-mb3vx]

My personal favorite show is Into the Blue

[@LifeByTheBow]

Thanks so much Adam appreciate all of your kind words!

[@jnblawnandlandscapellc]

BlacktipH must be doing something right if he has 3.8 million subscribers.

[@ThoughtTorch]

Yes I also love how REEL you are.. SEA what I did there lol

[@trevonhensley6765]

The blacktipH slander is crazy, my boy got cancer now

Oh my my ! What a day in the life of yall two. You make National Geographic look like a first grader

[@LifeByTheBow]

Haha thanks Mark!

[@headcheck100]

Camera guy in the water deserves a raise. So good.

[@michaelbarroso587]

I got so mad when I didn’t see the notification for this video 😭 love your videos

[@InTheLab00]

Quality is absolutely insane!

Thank you!

[@isaaclz9707]

Enjoy your videos !! Always a pleasure.

[@LifeByTheBow]

Isaac appreciate you being first to comment and especially taking to time to do so!

[@michaelmalloy7063]

Over the years I've seen some wild things in the Keys. Three years ago we rented a house in Marathon for Jan and Feb. We were getting bait ( ballyhoo) at the Sombrero Light in about 3-4 feet of water, I looked over about 40 feet off our stern and two Sailfish were balling up the schools of baitfish in 3 feet of water. It was an amazing sight to see these beautiful fish coralling and feeding on these ballyhoo. Will never forget it.

[@LifeByTheBow]

Michael it’s pretty unreel down here some days. We’re going to do a lot of sail fishing this winter and hopefully we can capture exactly what it is your describing. Stay tuned and appreciate you my friend!

[@paulmcintyre434]

Can't see that if your in your bedroom playing video games.

[@LifeByTheBow]

@@paulmcintyre434 agreed!

[@Boros.Levente]

You deserve 10 million subscribers, absolutely the best fishing content on you tube, love you guys!!!! I'm following from South Florida as well

[@LifeByTheBow]

Appreciate that Levente! We’re workin hard at it!

[@johnmccray9169]

I like the spear fishing and underwater scenes the most

[@glenwhitaker8417]

The in-water shots of the Mahi catching air were epic!

[@LifeByTheBow]

Pretty Insane! It’s not too often I let a clip roll more than about 5 seconds but I just had to let that one rip haha

[@SFROutdoors]

it amazes me how the two of you are able to both film and catch fish during that mahi mayhem

[@LifeByTheBow]

It’s a process that takes a lot of self discipline I can say that much lol! It’s really hard sometimes to put down a rod and grab a camera, but man at the end of the day when I’m editing everything together, I could care less about how many fish we caught, the visuals are really what I enjoy capturing most. However thanks so much for commenting and stopping by!

[@SFROutdoors]

@@LifeByTheBow Yeah we have different priorities for sure, I pick catching the fish every time and my video quality shows for it. Gotta start thinking about what I am going to remember in 10 years: the long-gone mahi taco or the killer footage/memory. Thanks!

[@LifeByTheBow]

Exactly the fish go back or get consumed but you’ll have the video memories forever!

[@mahimahiaddictioncesargonz5445]

Great video! I’m not even a boater/fisherman but LOVE watching your videos. Best channel on KZbin!

[@LifeByTheBow]

We really appreciate that, thank you so much.

[@Gabriel-mb3vx]

I've watched about 5-6 videos before deciding: yes, this channel is the real deal. Love that you guys are local and showing the beauties of Florida and the Keys. The video format of catching and cooking is phenomenal so keep up the good work. I also really liked the life lesson at the end there. I

[@LifeByTheBow]

Gabriel, thanks so much for even watching 5-6 of our videos wether you liked them or not lol! We really appreciate every view. Also Appreciate you my friend a lot more to come!

[@Gabriel-mb3vx]

@@LifeByTheBow to be honest I knew y’all were the real deal from the first… just decided to subscribe after a few 😉. Small suggestion for future videos: show some more fishing 101 on tackle choice, knots, and general fishing techniques. I know you all incorporate some how-tos already but maybe focusing a bit more on them would be cool! Plus you could have some nice endorsements your way if the videos get enough traffic.

[@LifeByTheBow]

Will do Gabriel! We will make sure to do so 🤙🏼

[@goferizer]

May be the best fishing footage ever. Thanks for the video. Keep on crankin'!

[@tzw5116]

The quality and level of production in your videos is always so incredible. Best channel and couple on KZbin. Thank you, and please keep up the great work!

[@dillonsmith992]

That in water footage of the Mahi was insane.

[@LifeByTheBow]

It was so much fun to shoot Dillion. It’s not too often that we get into a school of Mahi that actually want to stay next to the boat. I think the fact that we took only a few from the school really kept them around. However thanks so much for stopping by and dropping us a comment, very much appreciated.

[@liquidambition]

Definitely an epic day ! Not easy to get on them all in one!

[@LifeByTheBow]

The day was unbelievable. Best day we’ve ever had hands down and appreciate you taking the time to comment and spread some love. The slightest little bit of positivity goes a long way, thanks so much

I just came across the two of you on KZbin last weekend as i was quarantined with my wife and two kids due to Covid and had nothing better to do then just browse for cool videos and after one episode I was hooked. Immediately subscribed and set the notification for new episodes. I think I’ve watched all of them by now. I went on a Life by the bow binge lol! I just wanna say I love the content and quality of work you guys are putting out. I live in Orlando and The life you guys live is my dream and goal.i have fished in isla morada only once but hope to do it again soon.Keep up the great work and I’m happy for all your success.

NICE FISH!! I've been watching your channel for about a year now I think and just love everything about it. Being in Minnesota it's so awesome in Winter to see the nice warm weather and it just primes us up for our Keys trip in mid-March. We started going down for a week about 5 years ago and I can't wait until we can make it something more permanent. We fish off the dock at the house we rent on Summerland Key and get some snapper and also dive for some lobsters but this year we're going to grab a guide and go out for a half day or so. Keep up the good work!

Excellent video. Usually I’m less interested in the electrical reel being showcased because I’m more about sport fishing, whether it’s tips on casting, trolling, or jigging and fly fishing. But I have to say, this was a fun video to watch. You guys are so personable and knowledgeable: you are an awesome couple and maybe someday I can come down to The Keys and fish with ya’ll. Cheers from Muskoka, Canada!

Thanks my friend! I agree the electric reel can make things less interesting I could imagine however reeling 12 pounds of weight in 1600 feet of water isn’t too desirable lol!
