Thanks Clay for your conservation views. Many people in Florida and other TH-cam channels feel like they need to catch as much as they can for views or feed the entire neighborhood and extended family to be popular. Our fish in Florida need to be saved for future generations. You and Stephanie are great people. I watch your channel for the scenic views as a backdrop working from home and it is not about catching but the lifestyle of fishing that I miss away from my home state of Florida.
I honestly never hooked up on a sword in 15 minutes…. that speaks volumes about your skills at fishing, navigating and reading the ocean. Out off the Oregon Pacific coast we frequently get flotsam drifting west from Japan … crates, logs , 55 gal’ drums, Mae West type kapock life vest(😳)you name it. And as in the Atlantic, there are fish under there, often tuna. 👍 used to love hobby-horsing into those waves and have to say your Pathfinder is a slayer bay boat. Always an upbeat positive vibe with all your videos. Another great video from the best couple and best channel! Thanks guys.
I’ve had the privilege to visit the Keys twice so far. The first time in March 2016. We tent camped for 5 nights on Marathon and the weather was perfect. The second was in February 2018 and we were gonna tent camp for 2 nights in Key West but moments after we arrived the weather turned foul. Needless to say plans didn’t work out. After 1 night on base we decided to drive home 12 hours and cut our losses. That being said, whether it’s pristine conditions or otherwise, the keys are my favorite place to be. I just found your channel and have fallen in love with your content. If I am ever blessed to relocate to your neck of the woods I’ll definitely utilize Stephanie’s services to find my dream home. Keep it up guys. Your channel is my new favorite
It's not just that you guys are entertaining to watch, with gorgeous scenery above and below the water. It's not just that you are great at showing fish and catching them, not even the amazing conservationists that you are. It's that despite having an off day you always show the bright side of things, you always emphasize the positive and THAT is what drew me, and I'm betting a lot of your audience to you!! Clay, you and Stephanie are so inspirational and positive both with the channel, and your Day Jobs and it's just lovely to see that stability. I have friends with a TH-cam channel that are struggling right now, but they keep trying different things to keep going and that never give up attitude is why I watch them (and they are hilarious). You might be surprised at the number of negative, and channels with hosts that seem to not be able to speak without swearing every second word. I understand frustration and saying so but like the Rolling Stones song goes "You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometime, you'll find, you get what you need". Thanks again so much for letting us tag along on your adventures, and I hope you continue to show positivity in adversary, that's a good measure of character in my opinion. If I may, a little shout out to my friends at www.youtube.com/@CandEAdventures for giving your all,...all the time!! Can't wait to see where you take us next time, and I'm still really, really impressed with that Pathfinder 2400 Open, it just shines through everything! A bit like it's owners!! :) Cheers from up here - Dave
I think your voice over adds a lot to your videos. I wish I had the gift that you and Steph have in explaining your thoughts. Another fantastic down to earth video. Thanks so much
I can"t agree more with you!!! I release most of the stripe bass up here in New York, and alot of people make fun of me for believing that I"M trying to be helpful with conservation of the fish!!!
Great video Guys. 🗡️ 🐟 ing is one of my favorite fishing. The average is about 6 trips to take one home. I havent been seeing your videos for a while, cause I got 100K subscribers and been busy with more content and interacting with the audience. Glad I took a break to watch this video. Now that I got my fix time to make more videos. Have a great day
Great sportsmanship for both of you on the concern for the size of the fish. It made me respect both of you even more. I know how Clay felt and he handled himself like a true Gentlemen. keep up the great videos thats what this is all about my friends. God Bless
Always enjoy your content, very Inspirational words of wisdom. Helps me when I'm down and want to quit my channel, folks like you two keep me going. Alonso
Do I enjoy the inspirational voiceovers? Absolutely! It's one of the big things that separate you guys from other content providers. Love your videos! Love your voiceovers! Love Stephanie's antics. Keep up the great work.
I don't know anything about fishing but want to learn. Do the porpoises and dolphins go after your bait? What do you do to keep them off? I certainly don't want to hook one of those babies. One day s/v Esperanza is going to show up in those waters. But for now its just Tennessee River inland waters. Thank you for the inspiration and beautiful videos. You two ROCK!
Maui s taste good ,sword fish should be released all lengths don’t really taste great, also use circle hooks with no barbs never lost one yet . Good content guys
Beautiful day, beautiful wife, caught some fish for dinner and back home safely, that's a "win" everyday in my book! Swordfish was cool, but it wasn't his day to go in the boat. Life is all good by the bow!
Great video. I had a couple “got offs” recently and know that feeling all too well. Feels like all the life suddenly leaves your body. You guys handled it well! Mine were just redfish and trout! Love the format of your videos!
I saw you using a purple hoochie ..was one of the best trolling lures we ever used up here in New Jersey… 12 to 15 pound bluefish loved it-we caught 50 12-15 lbers one year in an hour trolling 4 lines..awesome results
@@LifeByTheBow , ur very welcome. Ur videos are interesting and enjoyable. Ur videograohy is exceptional and ur messages are inspiring. I have a question. When u were bottom fishing, u kept using a device to swap on weights. Can u share with me what was the brand u were using and what was the largest weight u can attach. Here is just 1 feedback that may be helpful to ur viewers that maybe overlooked by me. Can u somewhere give more specifics about what worked for u and what didn't. Ie; main line lb. U used, hook sizes, how and where u hooked u bait based on bait used, size of hooks, why u stopped to fish at at a specific spot. What did ur bottom finder look like to select ur spot, etc. Were u using ur trolling motor against the current or were u just using ur trolling motor to guide u as u went with the current, were u dragging ur weight along the bottom or keeping it just off the bottom so u wouldn't get tangled. Keep up the great work!
Great vid w/some great fishing. Which t-top did you go with? Is it fixed or folding? I fly fish the majority of the time and I'm trying to decide whether or not to add one...
This is Pathfinders Tower Option. Check out our video library we have a couple more videos in the boat that goes over the option. It doesn’t fold but I would build another boat without one. Thanks for watching!
If you’re interested to get some additional upgrades to your awesome boat 1. Put the ‘SeaKeeper Ride’ trim tabs system on. It will reduce the pitch and ya on the boat while underway..$4,500 plus install. 2. Add the new ‘Sharrow Propeller’ to get increased range and increased fuel economy with a reduced propeller wash too. $5K Just my 2 cents Cheers Jjr
My god the water down there is so beautiful!!! I was down there a few years ago and rented a boat it’s gorgeous but when you take that drone up, it really shows how gorgeous it is!! I fell in love with the keys the first time I went down there I will retire there!!!
@@LifeByTheBow I t yes to buy some of your gear, but wen I went to purchase,my bank card is different to what was on your page, so I didn't nt know how to be y if you now, I wanted the hook release an both your 7an9 inch knifes, an do you make bandanas I can't wear caps,
I still say its a success! Time well spent with each other doing what you love and the excitement in the moment. Also that sword gets to live bit longer...Until next time Mr Sword Fish! Hahahahaaa (evil villain laugh)
I really like your philosophy on fishing. Yes, I know I've told you before but I feel if more people who like to fish would watch your channel, they might not be prone to bringing a non-keeper fish in the boat just for the sake of getting a picture.
Hey, better safe than sorry and we saw you catch it so it was real. I was in Largo this weekend and saw one of Stephanie's listing signs! You go girl!😎
I have to admit the inspiration you both share and the mutual love of the sport are inspiring, and always make it a fun break in my fay to watch your vid
Not just yet. We are still working on them and seeing what pieces work and what doesn't. We will do a marketing release when they come out so you won't miss it. Just be sure to follow us on our socials. Thanks for the support.
Cool swordfish trip. On my one and only attempt at swordfishing was a night trip off Miami. I put out a large squid with a cylum light and after an hour fell asleep. I was alone and awakened by the thump thump thump of a freighter prop about 100 yards away. Scary and stupid on my part. I decided that was a sign not to repeat the experience.
1-2 on swords plus some bonus mahi I would take that any day! That drone shot running out into the waves were your tabs down? I only ask that because im really wanting a 2400 we get similar sea conditions here in the gulf
Do y’all usually fish the Atlantic or the gulf side more? We are coming down from Daytona in July and are trying to get a plan together. We have a bay boat similar size to your pathfinder. Thank you for all the great content! Y’all have definitely inspired us to try some new things on the water. 🤙🏻
Where I deer hunt, we decided to go 8 point bucks or higher. If it’s a small 8 I’ll pass it for the resource and for its breeding for the next generation. Over the past 5 years I’ve harvested countless does and one trophy buck. I have let countless 8 points walk and even small ten points. Trophy bucks fill a wall. Does fill the freezer. If that sword was that close to being legal, best to let it swim. You caught that fish, no doubt. So there should be great satisfaction in that. Love the content
Can you tell me where Stephanie got her hat that she wears and how you keep it on your he'd in the wind? I have tried many and they never stay on when fishing at the coast. Thanks
Hi Clay, in a previous video you referenced a flat tackle box that kept the contents in the individual spaces, I couldn’t find the video. Thanks for the awesome videos and knowledge that you share.
I like the caution of not wanting to stick a gaff in an undersized fish. “Let it go, let it grow” they say in Hawaii ;) Maybe to make the guesswork of the sword LJ-F length you could put a 47” mark on your boat to give you a better idea. Anyway, a bigger one awaits you two and I hope your wife recovered ok from her broken nail ;)
Hello Clay, I am from Daytona Beach and we will be crossing from fort Lauderdale in our 21 foot sportsman and we hope for the best in the weather and I love your videos. We saw you guys crossing at bimini the others day and also keep it up! Love you guys! Pls reply!
Love the videos (and shirts ya sell), my girlfriend and i are doing a road trip through the keys starting in key largo, islamorada, and key west ofcourse. What's a really good charter for Mahi around any of those areas, if ya don't mind?
Your right clay that was a good trip it's not always catching its time together. I'm moving down in three weeks we have together. It's going to be a long haul for me and the boat . She's ready and so am I and the steph is too 😅
If its a big fish thats questionable like a sword, you can always use the gaff inside the mouth like a big hook to hold them while someone else measures.

Thanks Clay for your conservation views.

I honestly never hooked up on a sword in 15 minutes…. that speaks volumes about your skills at fishing, navigating and reading the ocean.

You guys are awesome , great sportsman's ethics , and the food ... Looks fantastic. Enjoy your videos completely.
Glad you like them! Appreciate the support Gary!
I’ve had the privilege to visit the Keys twice so far. The first time in March 2016. We tent camped for 5 nights on Marathon and the weather was perfect. The second was in February 2018 and we were gonna tent camp for 2 nights in Key West but moments after we arrived the weather turned foul. Needless to say plans didn’t work out.

Really appreciate the positive thoughts Steve!
Love the autopilot! It’d be super awesome to add sea keeper ride 👀 4:42
Thanks Carlos! Agreed with the autopilot 👍🏼
That's just how fishing goes sometimes. Great video production is always great 👍
You got that right! Appreciate the support!
I can"t agree more with you!!! I release most of the stripe bass up here in New York, and alot of people make fun of me for believing that I"M trying to be helpful with conservation of the fish!!!
Won’t be here anymore if we don’t release them!

Awesome! Thank you! Glad someone is enjoying it!
Like how you show the good days and not so good days of fishing
Glad you enjoyed it Patrick’
I loved the crickets after the sailfish got loose🤣.
I thoroughly enjoy your videos Clay and Steph. Howdy from Texas.
Haha thanks Wes!

Maui s taste good ,sword fish should be released all lengths don’t really taste great, also use circle hooks with no barbs never lost one yet . Good content guys
Thanks for the tips! But we personally love the taste of swordfish.
Even when we are traveling we watch you. It’s 6 hrs later here 🇫🇷 another amazing video thank you 😊
Appreciate that so much Cynthia!
Bro! loved the words of wisdom you shared.This world needs more of this because our world is going Godless and thats causing some dangerous times.
Glad you’re able to take away from it my friend that’s why we do it!
Beautiful day, beautiful wife, caught some fish for dinner and back home safely, that's a "win" everyday in my book! Swordfish was cool, but it wasn't his day to go in the boat. Life is all good by the bow!

Really appreciate that! Feel like we can all relate to this as fishermen!
Great and effective day to sword.
Perhaps gloving up would help holding their sharp bill.
Fish on you all..
Thanks for the video production!
Agreed, it is what it is 🤷🏻♂️ thanks for watching!
You guys are great 💪🏼. But FAIL is defined as:
F: First
A: Attempt
I: In
L: Learning
Keep up the great work 🤝
Agreed thanks Pablo!
Love your conservation efforts and efforts, way cool 👌👌👌
Maintaining the fishery is paramount, thanks 👏👏👏
Thank you so much, we're always on a mission to conserve for our future generations.
So much respect for you guys for your honesty and the good stewardship of your fishery… well done!
Thanks so much Adam!
I look for these on the regular! Can’t wait to do my own boating adventures in Fl soon!
Thanks Roman, good luck!
The funniest part of the video was when Stef said, “I broke my fingernail” during the fight.
Haha the struggles!
I saw you using a purple hoochie ..was one of the best trolling lures we ever used up here in New Jersey…
12 to 15 pound bluefish loved it-we caught 50 12-15 lbers one year in an hour trolling 4 lines..awesome results

Haha got to keep it real! Appreciate you watching John!
You guys have such a great outlook on life. You are so blessed.
Thanks my friend! We all need a positive outlook!
Good job! Thanks looking forward to the next trip.

I totally agree! The Florida Keys has some spectacular water.
Totally a good day. Just catching a sword and getting it to the boat is a W! You got to let him go and get bigger and make more fish as well!
Agreed, thanks so much!
Great video guys. Can't catch them all for sure. Awesome mindset!

Good call on not gaff’n that first swordfish…when in doubt, err on the side of caution. Another quality vid Clay & Stef! Cheers!
Appreciate it Bill!
Another great video, the struggle of miss that swordfish was real 😂
Thank you for watching! Oh it was a little disappointing. But still a great day.
Can you make a video of all your swiming and fishing gear?
Sure can, great suggestion!
Love the videos guys please keep it up I just want more to watch
Will do Landon! Thanks!
I still say its a success! Time well spent with each other doing what you love and the excitement in the moment. Also that sword gets to live bit longer...Until next time Mr Sword Fish! Hahahahaaa (evil villain laugh)
Haha I would have to agree Mike!
That's why it's called fishing and not catching. You do a lot more fishing than you do catching. Fishing has to be fun too. Great video.
Amen to that, thanks!
Coming to Islamorada this weekend, hope we spot you guys!
Same Steve!
You guys are so great to watch long time fan watch em all keep catching 💪
Thanks so much!
I love watching your channel. Please keep it going, and I really enjoy yawlls attitude. 👍🏼👋🏼

Haha I think everyone felt that 😂
Love you guys. I'm from Australia and have been watching your videos for years. Keep up the great work.

Hey Lou! Thanks so much for the support! It’s called a buzz bee tackle box, good luck!
@@LifeByTheBow Thanks!
I like the caution of not wanting to stick a gaff in an undersized fish. “Let it go, let it grow” they say in Hawaii ;)
Maybe to make the guesswork of the sword LJ-F length you could put a 47” mark on your boat to give you a better idea.
Anyway, a bigger one awaits you two and I hope your wife recovered ok from her broken nail ;)
Haha thanks Adam!
Was a good fishing day to me !
You got that right! Thank you!

We hope to soon! Appreciate you watching Blake!
Hello Clay, I am from Daytona Beach and we will be crossing from fort Lauderdale in our 21 foot sportsman and we hope for the best in the weather and I love your videos. We saw you guys crossing at bimini the others day and also keep it up! Love you guys! Pls reply!
Appreciate you my friend! Please don’t cross in less than 5 knots of wind it’s not safe!
@@LifeByTheBow thank you for replying! We will definitely be cautious of the wind and weather. Love you guys!
@13:10 That is definitely not how you say chimichurri lol. Awesome fishing though!
It’s the Spanish way 😏
Love the videos (and shirts ya sell), my girlfriend and i are doing a road trip through the keys starting in key largo, islamorada, and key west ofcourse. What's a really good charter for Mahi around any of those areas, if ya don't mind?
So glad to hear it, thanks guys! Give Reel screamer charters a shout 👍🏼
If you’re using your trolling motor to anchor. What kind of power are you using?
36 Volt Lithium Battery.
What fish is in the Arial shot at 6:54? Keep up the great videos.
Hey John! That would be a porpoise. Thank for watching!
Well of course hard to know, but man - heartbreaking . But of course it all ended well with a good day ❤️

Love it!! So awesome!!
Thanks so much!!
Thats why it's called fishing, not catching 😂😂😂 Anyways another great video guys! That mahi looked delicious!
Thanks for watching man thanks!
Good advice Clay
Appreciate that Wayne!
Such a fun video guys! How do you find the mahi and what are you throwing at them! Great job and always love watching y'all!
Hey Colt thanks! We found them under birds, and we were throwing 1/2 ounce bucktail jigs
Loved this video guys!
Thanks Brandon, hope all is well!
Your right clay that was a good trip it's not always catching its time together. I'm moving down in three weeks we have together. It's going to be a long haul for me and the boat . She's ready and so am I and the steph is too 😅
Agreed Alfred! Thanks so much!
Best channel ever

Another great video guys. I’m trying my new Insta360 in this week’s video, striving for the quality you show us. Thanks heaps
Nice would love to check it out and see how it does!
10:37 also, if the fish is questionable, release. Although, bummer 😕
Agreed, appreciate you watching!
@@LifeByTheBow Always!
If its a big fish thats questionable like a sword, you can always use the gaff inside the mouth like a big hook to hold them while someone else measures.
Great input, appreciate you sharing that!
Great video guys,as always, sure do wish I could afford to live down there, me and my husband are on fixed incomes, one can dream I guess 👍🙏❤️😎🐳
One day Ruth! Really appreciate your continued support!
