Wow dude, radical. Kayaking at night in a 1-2 ft chop in a head sea. Radical. That's a lot of water to swallow with nobody around to help you. Do you have an EPIRB? I hope so, at least they will find something. Love your videos, this one however had me in fear for your life.
Hey Steve... That was lots of work to find out your knots were good. Still you certainly found a nice fish, ray or shark After watching for aboutt 20 minutes now I'm thnking I like nice little trout and RedFish... Maybe a Pompano or two. Anything as big as what you're hooking is in the Wife Size and should be avoided at all costs.
Steve you had me laughing my ase of been there done that. Steve old man of the sea part two. I'm 61 now on a boat that's hard enough on the hobie your nuts but I love it. Really enjoyed this one got me to laugh my ase of
Way to take the beating today Steve, hope you treated yourself to some good poke for your effort. Also, where's your spray guard, could have used that man. Great Video.
Need that spray guard. Also, those Cabos are great reels, but you probably need a sealed reel for your yak. Must get expensive and annoying replacing parts and dealing with failures all the time.
It's too bad that the sharks have gotten so thick on the wrecks. Jigging there use to be 1 of my favorite things to do. Hopefully you will forget about the agony and try it again sometime. Makes good video.
Prefer Yamaha watercraft due to reliability factor & rigging diy. If your going to go offshore a jetski is the best way to go on many factors safety,speed,accessability, & time conveinance/restrictions. Not sure how far off coast "keywest kayak" is but anything in kayak off 6 - 8 miles is unrealistic due to FL weather N/A predictions (even with the tech help). Checkout jetski fishing on youtube on riggings & exploration like underwater diving for lobsters & offshore fishing. This is growing so much due to the coverage a jetski can do compared to either kayaks- (that are limited due to limited power hp & accessability to big water) & even to bigger vessels that are slower & cost a lot more. Hopes this helps you.
Use your kidney as leverage! LOL...LOL. for God sake You need a belt. Steve, I've been watching your videos for a long time and every once in a while I run across one of the older ones that I really enjoy watching you in tremendous amounts of pain. LOL. I notice you don't wreck fish as much as ya use to.
Man those tuna are beautiful. Every time you let one go I'm like "NOOOOOO, that was DINNER!!!" How deep were you on that last one while trolling back to shore?
Maybe u can invest in a nice fishing belt when u r deep jigging. Might save your kidneys!! Also that fish jerked the gears out of that reel.... Drag is shot to hell
Dude I love your Atlantic trips. Takes a brave soul to go out a few miles in a damn Kayak.
I took a nap for you after watching that struggle. I got exhausted just watching! Well you got your upper body workout. Thanks.
Watching you jig the wrecks always brings to mind the classic, The Old Man and the Sea. Great vid as always.
Looks like a wicked yet fun fishing trip. I always love watching your offshore videos.
You were a mad man hustling that kayak back! I wish I didn’t have to live vicariously through you. Great day great video!
38:41 😂 give a man a fish & he shall have dinner, teach a man to fish & he shall be "late" for dinner...
Lol...Best quote
After I watch you fight a fish for 5 minutes im emotionally invested in you catching it.
Epic battle! That shark was insane! Your a beast Steve!
Funny as all. Use your kidney as leverage, killed me. Sitting at your super secret launch location.
So many sharks i hate when they still my catch :( weather is horrible now can't wait to go offshore. Awesome video !!!
Haha good stuff Steve you are a true warrior!
Great to see you back out there!
Edit: Shark Week 2019! That sharky was just dead weight pulling up.
Edit 2: Ol' Black Fin got ya in the bean bag.
excellent video, nice catch that tuna will give you a full belly after all workout. Keep going strong my friend
Yes, finally. Thanks for explaining why you haven’t been out there lately in your last couple videos.
Not sure who was more tired. That gray looked whipped!
If Hemingway were still in Key West he might have penned a story called "The Middle Aged Asian Guy and the Sea" after seeing this video. :)
Looks like a table Tuna to me. Awesome video 👊🏽

Made my back hurt just watching you today. Ice yourself down 😂
Awesome fishing 🎣 tuna looks like the perfect size for eating 🍽
that drag sounds so sick... omg. all that salt probs stripped the gears.
Beeeaaaaauuutiful day!! Great video Steve

That was some workout Steve! Nice tuna!
You earned that tuna Steve. Enjoy !

Great video sir! Crazy how far you go out!
Damn excellent video Steve. How much did the shark weigh you reckon. Be safe out there.
Just ordered some jigs and paddle tails from AATB hoping to take them out and catch some fish!
Good video as usual Steve, keep up the good work!
Awesome battles Steve!
What do you expect?! - you're fishing the drop off in KW. There's some HUGE fish out there. I'd break off, go to Don's and have pilsner.
It's too bad that the sharks have gotten so thick on the wrecks. Jigging there use to be 1 of my favorite things to do. Hopefully you will forget about the agony and try it again sometime. Makes good video.
Love these type of videos 👍.
How about a seadoo ski jet for fishing?
bau bau yeah those sea doo fisher pros are cool

How fast was you kayak going on the way back home
"Screeeeeeeewwwwwww yoooouuuuuuuu!!!! I kicked you're ass!!!!!! You bastard! Gimme my jig back!!!!!" hahahahahahaha too fuuny Steve
21:36
Do you have an epirb with ya when you go out that far and deep?
Never laughed so hard stick to inshore man why put your self threw that keep on keeping on man love videos
Thanks for the video 👍
Is that Boca Chica launch?
No more CCC videos?
Great adventure video! I was young once. How old are you Bro? Strong work at any age.
Good morning kayak man.
"Florida man gets into a fight with a shark"
I’ve never heard of the hooks on people’s jigs being twine. Seems silly. Usually super heavy mono or wire
Pretty standard really. Most assist hooks for vertical and butterfly jigs are attached with cord.
RikkiTikkiTavi never seen one with cord, at least not as thin as he’s using
Love watching this channel, but to hell with those big fish workouts like that. Got tired watching you cranking on that shark. He taxed you twice. :)
Tunaaa yess
use your kidney as leverage! lol
Use your kidney as leverage! LOL...LOL. for God sake You need a belt.

What kind of shark was that?
Sandbar
E..X.C.E.L.L.E.N.T. !!
Man those tuna are beautiful. Every time you let one go I'm like "NOOOOOO, that was DINNER!!!"
How deep were you on that last one while trolling back to shore?
Florida Keys Wooden Boat Fishing looked like 270 on the finder
Tuna dinner!
"Use your kidney as leverage" ROFL!
You don’t have to worry about falling in....your gigantic balls will keep you afloat and are bigger than any toothy critter out there!!
Goddamm toothy critters!
What kind of shark is that
Looks like a Silky shark
Definitely a sandbar shark
They Should make a rode butt belt for Kayaks
You need an M1.
Not so sure who kicked whose ass!! Tax Man wins again!!😎
I kinda want a (where the big things are) shirt and a (kidney leverage) shirt
Lucky u
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Man, I was tired 10 minutes into this video... :D
where is your skirt to keep the water out of the kayak???? Valuable lesson learned, Pick on fish smaller than you NOT BIGGER!
Sit on top kayaks dont use a skirt since the water drains out through the scupper holes. Your thinking of a sit in kayak.
Second
Maybe u can invest in a nice fishing belt when u r deep jigging. Might save your kidneys!! Also that fish jerked the gears out of that reel.... Drag is shot to hell
Maybe if you put some trace on you wouldn't lose so many jigs
Don't get near as many bites with wire
🤣🤣🤣🤣
You know you got companies advertising their fishing shirts before your videos? lol cut throat business I guess
and then it's time to go to the GYM for a work out...........
You should probably use a bigger rod when you're off shore jigging , The rod fights the fish not the Fishing reel
Oof
SCREW YOU!!!!
AGH! That rod butt is in a Bad Crack!
OOHHH!!! this drag does NOT like this.
Stay little, Stay little. Stay little AGHHHHHH NOOOOO!
You need to start working out buddy
Shark like that will kick anyone's ass from a kayak.
I'd say he had one hell of a workout.
gawd youre "exspecially" unbearable
You too little to be a fisherman ! You need 2 just take your net & go catch butterflys ! More your speed
Head cam way to jerky for jigging for those of us that get motion sick. Just sayin
