Is that jig better than the bucktail? They look very similar. Have you tried out the glassminnow jigs?

I appreciate the fact that your videos don't assume that all viewers are experienced fishermen.

Bama, you got a new subscriber here. In your videos, you talk to your viewers like we’re actually out there on the boat with you. As someone from the Midwest, you have no idea how helpful you are in educating and promoting respectful and humane saltwater fishing. Folks like us come down for 4-7 days at a time, so absorbing all the information we can through your videos has been really helpful! Have a good rest of your season! Can’t wait to see more pier, jetty and surf vids!

Lately I’ve been so busy/ stressed to the max your videos help me relax and forget everything goin on in my life weirdly enough that’s how I fall asleep. Love your positivity. Love your cooking segments really appreciate u bama.

My buddy and I are heading to Gulf Shores from Iowa tomorrow morning and staying right there at The Grand Beach Resort next to the pier. We're going to be doing some surf fishing around there. My buddy Brandon is a huge fan and talks about this channel a lot. I grew up in Alabama and vacationed in Gulf Shores as a kid but never did any saltwater fishing so this should be a lot of fun. Enjoy the channel and thanks for the great fishing tips! Roll Tide!🤘🏻🤘🏻

Really appreciate you making these catch, clean, and cook vids! Bravo to you on your growing channel!

Growing up in Japan, the bloodline of most fish was always considered "dark" meat of the fish, my Japanese grandmother always told me it was the healthiest part lol. I usually ate it with lots of rice and soy sauce to dilute the bitter taste and now as an adult I come to appreciate the dense flavor. Its one of my favorite parts of the fish now (especially salmon and mackerel). Love these videos Bama, keep up the good work.

Just got back from fishing in PCB. A bit windy, but we always make the best of it. Got off shore, to one of my spots, and on our last trip out, we saw an event we had never seen, in my 30 years of saltwater fishing. While catching vermilion snapper, in 70' of water, my daughter released a short fish, about 9". As we watched the fish swim away, a red snapper, came to the surface, and chased the beeliner, and ate it. The red snapper was no less than 30" long, 18"belly to back, and maybe 40 lbs plus. An awesome sight. We really enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work.

I had a house in Gulf Shores. Back in the 80's and 90's (before I got a boat) we would use trollies on the end of that pier fishing for king mackerel. I'd bring 3 rods - a casting rod to fish like you are now - frequently with large silver spoon, a bait rod with a ribbon and a heavier rod for trolley fishing. If you grew up around there then I may have seen you when you were young. They eventually stopped letting us fish off the end of the pier with trollies and started enforcing the 2 rod-in-use rule (1 fishing and 1 bait). I caught a lot of fish there - mostly blues, Spanish, sometimes specs near the other end of the pier when I had live shrimp, and quite a few king mackerels but never more than 1 king in a single day. The blues were actually pretty good provided they were promptly bled. Also caught black tip on the trolley (was okay to catch them back then as long as you didn't chum) and strange stuff like stargazers. Those were good times..

Another great video, Stephen. And I think we all appreciate your leaving in the ones that get away… makes us all feel a little better about our mishaps.

Great video Spanish Mackerel are an awesome fish I do use wire leader but I do agree with everything you said I also don't mind losing a fish as we fishermen have such a great advantage over them. For me there aren't that many fish I skin I scale them and fry them but they looked awesome on the grill

Speaks volume to see how compassionate you are to other anglers in the areas you fish!

I worked as a deckhand on a 50’ shrimp boat one year of my life (shrimp season not year) saw some beautiful porpoises hunting in packs of a few like that. Amazing thing to watch!

I've never owned a fishing rod before, whenever I go fishing I just take an empty glass bottle, some lines and hooks. I roll the line on the bottle and use the whole thing as an alternative to fishing rod. I catch a lot of fish and I have no idea what they are called, I just know they taste good. I'm new to fishing and this channel is helping me learn about some species. Sorry for my English.

Ive only watched a few of ur videos and ur already a better role model than my dad

Great video! Nice of you to show everyone how to spike and bleed a fish, better for the fish and better for your fillet!

Thanks for the informative and entertaining vids bro🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

CONGRATS ON A SUPER DAY ON THE WATER. ENJOYED THE VIDEO, MY FRIEND. TIGHT LINES!

I dont watch fishing vidios, i am a chef but i really like your channel thanks

So I watched a video of you out in 3:20 600' of water and then to OSO'S (our home port) .you saw dolphin everywhere around you, you are one of few that have ever seen what you saw, it was a birth celebration . We saw one 3 years ago just off the beach about 3 miles . So cool.

I love CCC’s. Thanks for showing a few different ways to clean them.

I’m a fresh water fisherman.I like to fish saltwater when I can, I love your channel! With your knowledge you should have your own guide service! Help people enjoy the way you fish! Keep up the good work young man.

Many thanks for another great video and may God's grace continue with you and your family.

Really enjoy your content and how you explain everything. Keep up the excellent work!

Awesome vid yet again ! as a native to the frozen north , its a blast to get to come along and see some exciting southern fishing ! keep up the good work sir !

An old man in Mississippi told me when I was young that you need to cook a grinner(bowfin) when it's still warm. They have that bloody soft meat just like Spanish.

Great fishing trip a lot of fun. For me when I lived in Florida I found the Spanish Macks. to be a little to fishy for me. The way you prepared them looked very good it make my mouth water a bit now I have to go and eat some fish. Thanks again for the great video, keep them coming.

I'm enjoying your fishin, but OH BOY does the cookin part of your videos make me hungry !

Honestly dude,you are living my dream

I love the sound of that reel to be honest ❤

My favorite Spanish Mackerel bait, by far is a 0 size squid spoon tied on to 6' of 50# mono up to a black barrel swivel with 1.5 - 2 Oz egg lead (Carolina rig), dragged through the water FAST. Either slow troll (1200+- RPM) or reeled in as fast as you can, stop and drop from time to time usually gets your strike 🎣. Got 36 one day from 6am to 11am at Potter's pier, at Ft. Desoto Park, St. Pete., FL... FUN Trolling well away from the pier can be VERY productive. Can even get huge Jack Cravell this way from time to time. If you ask me, the Tampa Bay area is the best fishing anywhere lol 😆 Though we don't have your offshore structures. Those look like some awesome fishing 🎣 😀 👍Great show, dude. Good stuff 👏 for sure 👏 👌 👍

Big fan!!!Thank you for your service.I should be coming down to orange beach pretty soon!

Great video! My brother and I went out of Marina Jacks in Sarasota last week on a half-day charter. We hooked into 12 kings, two broke off, we released one and put nine in the box in which several were in the 20 lb range. 2 1/2 hours of non-stop pulling on stand-up tackle. It wore us out! They are very similar to Spanish. I know you say they’re better if you don’t freeze. We had a cooler full of filets. I vacuumed sealed all of it to make the trip back to Virginia where I put it in my deep freezer. I’ve done this before. If you vacuum seal them they do hold freshness until thawed and eaten. Even up to a year. Must be vacuum packed though.

Another fun video. Thank you.

This video just triggered a memory. From the old pier I landed a big spanish Before daylight Fishing with squid. It was Shining ever so slightly As I was picking it up out of the water got smoked. Thanks for your videos always enjoy them.

Hi! You immediately showed one of my favorite spinning reels - the 7f2Z by Penn. I own 6 os the Penn Z reels - 706Z, two 704zZs, 710Z, and 722Z. I love seeing vintage reels in videos. I collect them and have 317 of these great reels. I wish you could see all of them. You should have had some hand lines rigged with bunnies cords and strong nylon clothesline cord. You put Clark Spoons on leaders on those hand lines and put them out behind your boat as you Troll. You’ll catch a ton of Spanish this way. Great video! - Chris

amazing vid again

Summer is the best time for Spanish here in Texas and ours are a lot bigger than the ones I caught growing up in Florida. We catch 4-5 pounders in early june a lot of times in jointed mullet lures and slab spoons.

I can't believe you have front seat to watching dolphins hunting mullets right in your backyard. Insane!
