Thanks , and me too !

Just wanted to say I first watched you over a year ago when i was heading down to your area to fish. Even bought some bait from hooked up. Since then, my girlfriend and i watch you regularly because you've become the best channel there is when it comes to fishing videos balanced with advice, gear, cooking, and all kinds of species. Keep up the great work!

Solid channel

I know you have a larger boat now, but what drew me to your video channel was your focus on the fish, your explanation of your rigs and why you use them is a certain area/time. I like that the gear you use is not out of reach for most people. 17 ft. w/90 horse, fuel efficient, nothing just for show. quality reels and rods you use.(Always smart to invest in good gear) and you thank the lord for all he does for us. I don't do that as often as I should, you remind me to do so more often, so thanks. Keep following your passion. It's much better than you think. (I like your Mom too, Nice lady.)

Re-watch video over 2 yrs later thanks Bama for all you do for your fellow fishermen and the sport itself. You have tons of good Karma !!

Hey Brother. Thankyou for your service first off. Secondly thankyou for this awesome channel. It's easy to see that you are an upstanding person. Me and my son's watch religiously waiting for your next video. They are 13 and 11 and you sir are their hero. I'm glad they chose you to idolize instead of all the other things they could have this day in age. Thankyou for your example. We live over on Dauphin island but my folks live in Orange Beach. We would love to get up sometime for a handshake. They always look for you anytime we are out fishing that area. Thanks again man and good fishing.

Daaaaannnnnnggggggggggg Son That Was A Monster !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome day on the water!!!

Thanks. Best local KZread channel.

Dude honestly just watching you outmuscle and beat that monster of a snapper was so impressive!! It's really awesome to discover someone as passionate/charismatic and entertaining as you who's at the same time not incredibly big yet (certainly will be) but produces high quality and production value content. Watching your unfiltered struggle to fight that fish, and seeing your genuine reaction and joy when you realized it was a PR, amazing. I bet you'll remember that fish for years to come, and good thing you caught everything on camera and made a dope vid out of it :)))

“Why’d I do this to myself”😂😂😂 been there😂😂😂

WOW !!!!! WHAT A BATTLE !!!!! NICE FISH !!!!!! REALLY NICE !!!!!!

Stephen! Dang that snapper was a brute! Keep doing what you love. I really enjoy you're videos.

Another fun ass vid to watch while I cook dinner

Awesome snapper Stephen !!

that red snapper whipped you like a red-headed stepchild. Had ya grunting. And turned out your biggest ever. Too bad ya got seasoned on it. For historical purposes, my aunt taught me something about step-children. She calls them bonus daughters and bonus sons. It gives them a wonderful and proud title. I have two bonus sons...Both combat disabled veterans (Army). One when he's not selling real estate around Ft. Hood he's bass fishing in Saledo Tx. I'm looking forward to floundering with a boat and light in West Fowl River here in Mobile County. this was a great video...Congrats on your record snapper.

Perfect combo of fish to end the day for a great meal .. Thank you for the Videos, and FANTASTIC CATCH! Congrats !!!!

Hey I used to vacation with my fam down at Gulf Shores all through my childhood in the 80's, and watching your channel has brought back some great memories. We used to stay at the State Park but some years we rented condos and even stayed at the old Gulf Shores Motel once, with the massive rooms. I haven't fished since around 2002 but it's very relaxing to watch, and I like all the awesome nature stuff too. Thanks for being a top notch steward of the environment and setting good examples for people to follow!

When season comes back around you gotta try and get some of those big snapper further in…. If u can get on some smaller reefs especially those toward the bay with a big bait like I’m talking half a bonito fillet or spanish u will find fish like that especially early and really late in the season Bc a lot of the boats just blow right by the tiny reefs but Every 20 plus pound snapper we’ve caught have come off small reefs like single pyramids.

Awesome ! Thank you for NOT saying PB !!

Good Morning! I'm here spending my morning with ya. I couldn't sleep past 3:30, I so enjoy watching you! Your laugh, your info, your energy. You just make me smile almost the whole time. You sure make me what to come to Orange Beach Alabama. You need a shirt that says He Gone! lol Now you have me laughing outloud for real!! I love it!!!

I love watching ur vids. Keep ‘em coming.

I love your enthusiasm!

love your vids, keep em up

Awesome red snapper!

Congratulations on the snapper! I was stressed out just watching.

Love your videos. In the gulf with a small boat, wow!

My son caught one that was 28” and I thought it was a monster! Fed 15 people tacos for dinner. I can’t imagine what that was like live. Great job. Can’t wait to be fishing there soon.

Stephen I have never seen a red snapper that big. Congrats, keep doing more great videos.

Amazing catch. That was giant red snapper! I really appreciate how you are careful to respect conservation measures. Excellent videos!

@@danni1993 More than likely its out of season and being that large, its generall a good idea to let them go anyway since those tend to be females and older females will produce a shitton of eggs compared to smaller egg bearing younger ones.

Great video Steve

I like to use the filet and release technique whenever a good red snapper comes up.

Congrats on the snapper. That was how the gulf looked the week we were there in early March.

Great fish !!
