Hey guys. I’ve been watching fishing videos for a while now, I accidentally came across yours and I am so glad I did. You put so much education into your content,and for a guy like me, who doesn’t get the opportunity to go fishing very much, it’s great to see and learn. Thank you so much, and God bless you two and your crew.

Nice vid, awesome mahi action!! just a tip, when you clean your fish at the dock, stick your knife through the eyes before you discard the carcass, then they won`t float and wash up the beach.

i dont imagine itll be too much longer before your channel blows up. great production quality and lots of great advice 🤙

Thank you Julien! The one thing that I’ve learned in my short life is positivity and persistence always pays off thanks for watching 👍🏼

Nice catch! Thanks for taking the time explaining the set up really appreciate that!

You and your wife put it great content. It’s like a real channel versus watching like it’s a VHS.

I’m going through some stressful times, and watching your videos makes me forget about them. I love your videos. Amazing job !!!

Nice fix of dropped fish on floor with pets cutiness lol. Great vibe gyus! Some real fisherman skill on 2 rods at once. wow.

You make catching these fish look so easy, love the videos!

Man. been watching some of your videos. These are some of the best put together videos I've seen of the Keys Thanks to you and your fiance Stephanie. Greatly appreciated

I love this channel. Your success, drive, goal setting and focus is infectious.

You and your videos are right up there with Jose Wejebe's I'm glad I found a good teacher also on your videos. Good luck and I will keep watching and learning.

Hey man just watching your vid and I’m already in love with them keep it up

I love your how calm and collected you are on this video showing how you fish thank you for all the tips they stay wit me as I am learning how to fish in the Florida waters so much different from the Chesapeake bay. You have great videos and how the catch and cooking you do is a spectacular section. thank you

Im addicted here! SICK!

that is an awesome finish! fresh ending!

Your videos are great man! Nice quality productions, lots of teaching going on. Maybe after I retire in 10 years I'll be down there doing what you are. Kudos

Epic footage here on mahi fishing

Great stuff as always. We just love the two of you.

Best of the Best!!!

You guys are so lucky there is hardly any swell out there. It's not even choppy at all! One day I'd love to go fishing there!

Just stumbled across the channel and enjoying the content! Just a couple tips when cleaning a fish (which you may have learned already since I’m finding this a year late) Once you cut the fish by the head, when you go cut the skin down the backbone and belly turn the knife blade out and cut the skin from the inside out. It’ll keep the knife blade sharper, longer, by not having to cut into and through the scales. Next, to me, cutting the rib cage out is easier when skin is off and laying skin side up. You can essentially fillet the rib meat from the outside of the ribs. Cut above spine pin bones, cut below them back towards the head until you hit the ribs then turn the knife to the side and fillet the outside rib meat off. Keep up the great videos!

Great video! Lookin forward to many more!

Thanks Mike we were tired on this one but the fish were cooperating!

I enjoy watching your videos and you are right about not enough positive in the world . I really want to move to Florida. I am really tired of living in Kansas because there is nothing to do and I love fishing in salt water. I was raised in Baltimore MD and my father had a 20 ft. boat that I used to fish on when I was a young teen. We used to vacation in Florida every Easter when I was young and once we went to Walt Disney World for 2 weeks. I have always loved Florida. Keep making the good videos and hopefully I will be able to move to Florida in about a year after I down size and get rid of of some stuff. Thanks again for great videos. Mike

Another great episode! I have a request- I’m amazed at how easily you pop that artery to bleed those tuna. I use kitchen shears to cut the gill arches and drop em head first into a 5gal bucket to bleed before pitching them into the ice slush. Can you do a slow closeup video of you popping that artery? And explain if you’re feeling towards the head or the tail. What’s it feel like when you find it? Thanks and keep up the great and entertaining work!

You guys are awesome, please keep making videos, when you have your kids they will be in good hands with you all.

Well done on getting those fish around the weather. It's very impressive how you're able to get out there with the bay boat. Great double action while catching the Mahi. You handled that like a pro. Those fresh Ballyhoo worked out well. I've only seen them chunked out and never whole. Always seen people using smaller live bait. Always learning something new on your channel. Keep it up.

Dude the same thing happened to me last week. I caught an 18 inch fluke on from the shore on the sandbar. I was walking back to the boat to put it in the live well, but everyone told me it had to be rinsed off because it had too much sand on it. I knew this wasn’t a good idea and as soon as that fish touched the water he was gone. I was pissed lol.

Question what length rod, power and action do you use. Also what pound main line and what lb leader.

First,in the afternoon when the sun is high,the tuna tend to hang back,away from the boat.So fishing a shotgun bait way back will usually draw a strike.Second ,black fin tuna this size are usually feeding on rain bait(or tiny little 1/2 to 1 inch baitfish).By using tiny little lures your basically matching the hatch.So that’s why far back small baits work,under the right conditions.I also do a lot of tuna fishing up north in Montauk and this same tactic works here.

try ur experience here in the phillipines...specially in the west

Always thought the pathfinder 2300 was a inshore boat but your pretty far out this boat would be perfect for crossing to the Bahamas and keys and playing in the gulf of Mexico think i found my boat lol whats the top speed with v max

Great content. Can you tell a little about your boat?

When I saw one of your videos for the first time I wasn't sure that I wanted to keep watching your videos. At first I wasn't sure what your skill and knowledge level was. I'm not very good at catching mahi, wahoo, tuna and groupers. So, I watch videos on dealing with those fish. This video determined that I will be watching your videos on a consistent basis. Plus, I will be trying some of your fiance's recipes. I'm also, interested in those rods you use. I like the action they have. Keep up with these videos!
