We are an underwater light manufacture from Japan, we really love the content you make around fishing. We would gladly send you our high quality lights for your boats to experience the quality of it.

That was one of the best 40 minutes of video watching that I have seen in a while. You really know how to not only find the action but also how to capture it on the video. Keep up the great work :)

Don't apologize for the yelling / language - You are 100% correct about being safe and smart on the water!

thanks so much for watching!

Excited yelling is much different than panic/angry yelling. Nice work my two dudes!!!

From the 80’s in a 21’ center console fishing of fernandina beach, ne Fla. it’s an adventure, limited technology, paper fish finders and the newest thing,,,loran for navigating. Oh my were we brave going 40-50 miles from dirt. Anyway your raw unfiltered video reminded me of my youth and the friends❤️. We were kinda stupid by today’s standards but we caught fish!!! Anyway my boat always was mass chaos after braving the trip. Thanks for bringing back memories of my youth. And no matter where you are there’s always not safe idiots.

so cool man. That's kinda how our fathers fished in the 90s. Loran. Gas tanks strapped down. They had lots of good stories. I remember running out of fuel after an overnighter just a few miles off the beach. We caught flounder while we waited for the extra fuel

@@reaperfishingnj8623 I had a 21 foot Mako CC and would run over 40 miles out at night on a full moon to the Mango Hole. Had a Sitex Loran and a paper recorder. Loran antenna broke on the way out in rough seas. went fro 2 to 3 to 6 to 8'seas in just a few minutes. two hours out and almost 8 hours just to come in about 25 miles north of the inlet and just about out of gas but we made it. Never again! Think it was 1976 off Daytona Beach.

Awesome video, keep them coming. Glad you got in them.
