[@richardjack4827]

Riiiiiccccchhhhhh!!!! Bro a surprise drop!!! Awesome

[@antdelgado3083]

Good redfish man those are my favorite to catch

[@BassNinja]

It's the bad guy in super Mario bros

[@f.t2542]

Haven't even watched the video yet but is that a freaking BATFISH I see on the thumbnail?! Crazy creature : they basically walk on the bottom of the ocean and their gills are tiny holes around their butt. Fascinating.

[@40s9s3]

Pretty sure I've talked to people who also breathe through their butt here and there

[@erikb8827]

Hi Rich, if I saw those 2 crocs I would of put my kayak right back in the truck!

[@TopSecretAsiant]

First and a good day starts with a Video from Fishaholic

[@ВасилийРомашкин-т7е]

а у нас, на противоположной стороне планеты, уже поздний вечер. но всё равно приятно видеть новое видео на канале.

[@Kltpzyxm17]

Howdy Rich 👋 Had to re-heat my coffee!

[@devoneaton660]

Longnose Batfish! Awesome

[@kouvue3953]

That is fun fishing’s man!!!, shallow water is why I got the Hobie Out Back “ cause it’s lite in weights “, I’m only 5’4”.🐟on

[@captainconstitution4238]

Na na na na na na na na na BATFISH! Same Batfish time. Same Batfish channel. He's not the fish you want him to be. He's the fish you NEED him to be... and he doesn't even wear hockey pads!!! 🦇🐟🤣🤣🤣

[@rolandoalard9]

Go net!!!!! Yeah!

[@johnnevin7759]

Rich fishing a low tide cold water morning is tough if FL. Here in St. Augustine I like to look for dark bottom which absorbs the suns heat better so the water gets warmer as well. Usually that is mud which has its problems in low water as u show in the video. Way to grind through and call the fish based upon the bite.

[@ZMAAllOutDoors]

Let’s go

[@charleshatcliff5588]

Sculpin crossed with a tile fish lol. Pretty cool.

[@fishypocket228]

Man... i really want to go fish the everglades some day... on my bucket list along with Halibut fishing in Alaska

[@rustyshackleford2012]

Rich in the Yak is my fav

[@tylermeadows4735]

That is a Batfish, it is in the Anglerfish family which are usually found at depths of 600 to 10,000 ft. Some species however (like I assume this one is) are found in more shallow water.

[@kirbo3734]

Anglerfish can be found that deep but bat fish tend to stay on shallow and deep reefs

[@tylermeadows4735]

@@kirbo3734 I meant the family as a whole but yeah I guess I should've specified lol

[@robsycko]

Handfish.

[@tylermeadows4735]

@@robsycko It is very similar however handfish typically have a fin on the top of their head as well.

[@justin_hernandez]

Great video rich, I just posted one last month of me catching a slam in flamingo. Such a great fishery we have there.

[@greenguitarfish]

Ya know, Rich, you might consider saving some $ by switching from fluorocarbon to mono. Better abrasion resistance and little if any difference in visibility according to Saltstrong.

[@tobywonkinoby8916]

Very cool! What boat ramp did you launch out of?

[@michaelcohen2345]

Woah!

[@aln.4918]

Yeah, Fred can have the water. I’d go back home and catch up on those long form YT 🎣 posts

[@Fishingwithkayson23]

What is your favorite lure for tarpon and snook

[@RSA50502]

rich are you doing personal charters still?

[@YaksquatchFishing]

NANANANANANANA! BATFISH! BAAATFISH!

[@ericgrube9954]

That anchor looks nice, but you put it through the scupper hole? That's not too good for your kayak, right?

[@RUF33OH]

It amazes me time and time again how rich can know what fish is on the end of his line, or even what species of BITE he just missed. Seems to be right a probably 9/10 times. Keep your lines tight fellas

[@adrianroberts853]

First😮

[@Kltpzyxm17]

🍪

[@PaintedTurtle001]

Nice video! I believe the mystery fish was a bat fish.

[@wellsjdan]

Hey Rich, thinking of going to flamingo.... Is there a good places to stay down there for cheap or how expensive is it?... Is there hotels?... Thinking of bringing my RV? Is there places for that?

[@bobmitchell8688]

Hognosed speckled skulpin 🐟

[@robsycko]

Now with a good look its a Handfish.

[@CharlieDexter99]

That’s a dork fish. Did you catch it on a corn dog?

[@yesmamm241]

That was a batfish. Very cool. I wish you would maybe give a google earth location so I could virtually join your day. The keys are very large.

[@blueaggie64]

240,000 subscribers. Nope, he,s not giving his exact location away. People gotta put the work in for themselves.

[@JMall0R]

Man dont want to scare you but right around where you walked the kayak I have seen massive american crocs completely hidden in a foot of water. Amazing place but always pay extra respect to mama nature!

[@ВасилийРомашкин-т7е]

Новый микрофон или в студии озвучивал?

[@get-hooked-tackle941]

Possibly a juvenile porcupine pufferfish . 2 different species caught in salt/ brackish water

[@franzsperginand113]

Google search "Batfish".

[@jamesfleullan1578]

Polka-dot Batfish (Ogcocephalus cubifrons)

[@TryinWithRyan]

Be careful wading barefoot. Last year I did the same thing and had to get a piece of shell removed from my foot by a doctor with a scalpel. That tiny piece made my foot swell to almost double it's normal size. I always bring my wading boots just in case now whenever I wear anything else.

[@oscarlugoflores7244]

We coll them bat fish, in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷

[@FishguyVR10]

That’s wild … it’s called a batfish they are harmless 😊

[@Well_Edumacated]

that's not a catfish/

[@FishguyVR10]

@ I typed BAT fish but stupid autocorrect

[@billanderson2217]

You encountered the Sea Robin. Not good bait and the same for eating. Sea Robin upper loins are delicious, just very small. Only two small delicate upper loins. White flakey meat with muscular texture. No fishy taste due to little oil in cleaned flesh. Catch a dozen for a meal for one. Problem is most likely you'll never catch 3 in a day let alone 12. Consider a nice appetizer. From a 75 YO Fla Native. We were raised to eat what we caught. A daily catch was called a "Capt's Platter". Restaurant commercialization over time blurred the original real meaning of "what was caught today". Hope this helps.

[@jasonmerlino3815]

How can someone not like the Everglades

[@17losttrout]

Maybe if they went during a big mosquito day...🦟🦟🦟👏

[@Fishy123-y3r]

That's a walking batfish. Different from regular "batfish". Walking batfishes are in their own family, Ogcocephalidae. Their little "fishing lure" pops out from under their "nose". No need to grab with pliers (they're kind of delicate compared to your average fish).

[@billyjin2062]

I think that fish from the thumbnail might be a boxfish (I haven't watched the video yet though)

[@billyjin2062]

NVM I think it's a batfish

[@ernieforrest7218]

It is what it looks like, a Pig fish. Not uncommon in the Keys in the shallow water.

[@erikb8827]

By the way, it was a frogfish

[@calaftan]

There are people who follow you from Turkiye. Why don't you support your videos with Turkish subtitles?

[@user-sv9pv4zk8g]

It's a Batfish

[@youtubecreatersTJs]

Thats a Hog fish

[@fishingguuru6888]

squashed organs fish

[@oscarlugoflores7244]

Humm, salt water crocodile are biggest and dangerous

[@Lemurvr]

That’s a bat fish

[@youtubecreatersTJs]

Nope not a hog fish. I checked FWC pictures of rare fish. There is not a listing, picture of that fish. Send a pic, to FWC to identify.

[@priscyprisc5414]

Hey, can I make a request? Please do an unedited 3 to 4 hour video of keys bridge and flats fishing video. The ones Elias does are amazing. I noticed that his views on those videos significantly surpasses the edited shorter videos. On one of his videos, you were with him in the background and I am anxiously awaiting your video as you caught a massive mutton snapper. Honestly, those long unedited videos are so therapeutic especially when you suffer from severe depression. I simply get to escape reality and enjoy the scenery as well as the fishing. I personally enjoy when you catch small fish just as much as big fish. You have the personality to do those unedited videos. At least try it. Your viewership may increase exponentially. Sorry, too comment too long. 😊😊😊

[@Ducky2o]

Goofy fish

[@skipguest9112]

Looks like a bat fish

[@franzsperginand113]

Batfish. Family Ogcocephalidae. It's not spiky or venomous or anything, completely safe to handle.

[@bobbyk3469]

💯Hard to believe something that ugly isn't dangerous.
