I am director of a marine conservation organization based in FL, who also loves to recreational fish. Been subscribing to your channel for a while and enjoy the content. Others have identified the ray you caught as a bullnose ray, not a manta ray, which is correct. They are harmless and their numbers are pretty good. Still, thanks for trying hard to get the hook out. Best regards, David

Bullnose? I thought it was a cownose ray. Or are those alternate names for the same thing?

@@alexanderren1097 They are called cownose or horsenose ray. Some call them donkeynose ray..

People don’t realize how hard it is to unhook a Ray on the shore let alone on a kayak. Props to Rich for caring so much, most people don’t. Another excellent video!

sorry I like to kid a lot hahaha. tight lines!!

Before I even finish watching the video I wanted to pass on to you how much I appreciate you giving that Ray everything you could to get the hook out. I suspect that Ray will make through. Massive respect for you.

Pretty sure that was a cownose ray not a manta ray, but still fought great!

Mouth was in front. Not on bottom. Not a cownose

Definitely a cownose ray, you can tell by the color on its back and the placement of the mouth

You had me on "oh look another ray"😭😭

Oh, wow! I can't believe you caught a manta ray, man. I just can't believe it! Good job!

That night snook was insane! Love the video, great way to start off a Sunday. Keep up the great work, looking forward to the next one!

@@FishAholicTV Your content and commitment to the sport is contagious. Has me contemplating moving to Florida for the water. Montauk is a hard catch right now.

there's nothing better then just cruising around on ocean with kayak trying different lures and never know what you gonna catch, great video!

Active duty military just stationed in Florida! Been subscribed for a few months and have to say your videos have helped me get on some fish. Little bit different from fishing how I grew up, up north!!

I remember that day when the storm came through where I live in Daytona Beach because right before the storm hit I myself caught a small grunt of a 5 pound jack out of the halifax. Very fun fish to target and catch. Ever since then I been targeting jack but have been catching other species of fish. Challenging part of saltwater fishing is you can't specifically target fish and keep catching the same fish multiple times.

Love the content man, been following the channel for about a year now. Now that I’m in Florida I’m trying to fish for the same species that you’ve caught in your videos.

When you are snorkeling you can hang onto a manta if he lets you and he will drag you through the water.

Always fun watching the vids, keep ‘em coming.

My husband and I love watching your videos! We’ve watched them all, even when you first started. Thank you for sharing! ☺️🐠🐟🎣

Swimbaits are my favorite soft plastic bait, and those look awesome!

Can't start the day with out a phenomenal fishing video , thanks for the effort man 👍 👏 🙌

Great video! Always fun to watch. Love the channel!

Love your videos & obvious how much you care for the Ocean & the wildlife. Keep going!

Love the video as always! Can't wait to get out on the water up here in CT, until then I'm just gonna have to keep living through your videos vicariously.

Love your content. The variety is awesome.

Awesome to watch you fish and the helpful tips. Fish on!!

Awesome fishing video! Much respect for all the efforts made to try and remove the hook👍🏻 Really nice production as well 🤙🏻

I absolutely love your videos. I can’t wait to watch them when they come out!

Another great vid. I like seeing the vids so close together. Keepem coming.

Great video as usual. Thanks for posting

I also want to shout out on your beautiful night bridge snook - that was a beauty! There’s more to snook bridge fishing than flare hawks, the swim baits work fantastic too!

Great video. I know that feel when you can't dehook a fish. It does suck. Definitely appreciate you showing that particular part of fishing and showing we all feel that guilt when it doesn't go as planned.

Love the video and all the techniques you use thanks again 👍

Always love your uploads!. Look forward to them every week.

My fav kayak fishing teacher! I’m just a rookie kayak fisherman but have been semi pro photographer videographer for decades. In fact I actually just returned from Florida kayak fishing and doing any quality photography and videos is no easy task! Don’t take his excellent work for granted. Thanks for all your dedication and hard work! High Noon

Thanks for all the tips. New to the channel. Grew up fishing Midwest. Enjoy seeing all the other types of fish.

Like always awesomeness is happening again. Congrats bro.

Recently found your Channel and loving the content. Your ability to get around, in and through all those docks in shallow water is insane. The benefit of fishing from a Yak under those conditions is obvious. Totally slayed them that morning. Subscribed.

Great content Rich...following you from Louisiana!

Love the videos !! Keep it up !

Hey man! I am an international student in Manhattan, New York, who's been really enjoying every second of your videos. I fish a lot, record too, though not yet getting good results around my area without a boat or kayak. Your channel is so far I've found my favorite. Always good explanation and fun content with rich experience and knowledge. So much to learn from you, never stop fishing!

Awesome vid Rich!

Awesome Stuart area blitz fishing Rich. Just love seeing you crush it in my home town!

Great video men🔥 & cool drone shots

Killer content lately! Keep up the great work bringing us the real deal!!

Awesome video my man! The second day of fishing was the best!

Always enjoy your videos!

I really like watching you explain everything in detail or some what in detail. I will continue watching when I'm not fishing lol.

Love your stamina and dedication!

Great video. You never disappoint!

Love all of Badfish's gear! Keep up the great vids!

Love the video, nice to have some great content to look back on. We fish that same yellow in our lakes here in AZ because of the low visibility.

Definitely got me when you said "no way, it's another manta ray!" 😅😂

Man I watch all your vids when they come out and every one of em is a banger!!🤟🏼

Awesome eats Rich and great video!!

Recently found your videos, actually moving to the Miami area from PA this summer and looking forward to the fishing opportunities to come, keep up the good work!
