You do an awesome job of promoting your sponsors in a way that isn't Fn annoying. Great vid, nice fillet, thanks for sharing the wormy bits and how you handled them.
Beautiful day! I must say, your filleting skills are right up there on the same level with your fishing skills brother! Thanks for another wonderful video! 😉♥
Rich Does Daiwa sponsor the reels you use or is it your top choice for spinning reels? I remember you used to use Tsunami reels specifically the Evict models... Tight lines my friend!
No I don’t work with daiwa on a sponsored level. They sent me a couple reels and there are a couple that I really like. The bgmq is way better than the Tsunami evicts. I used the evicts a lot back a few years because they sent me some to fish with. 1 out of 10 tsunami evict is a 5. Daiwa BGMQ I would say is an 8. A little more money but a better reel.
I must have missed a couple of your videos because I haven't seen one in several weeks. Nice video. The orange colored snapper was cool, as were the others of course.
Yeah I have two. I just didn’t have it rigged and ready to go so I vented that little grouper. It swam down but who knows what happens 300 ft back down. Next time I’ll use the sea equalizer. Tbh I wasn’t to confident to actually get a grouper.
I use to fish the gulf of Maine . 300 + feet of water was normal ! I used a jig because it sucked when the bait would fall off on the way down or small red fish would pick you clean ! Plus cranking 20 oz sinkers up several times got old fast !
I believe it is because of their diet. I’m not sure why they are prone to worms more than like tuna. I’d imaging offshore they probably eat similarly. But tbh I really don’t know.
How long did it take you to get used to conventional reels i am left hand reel so its weird. I am asking bc i just lost a good fish bc i dont know how to use them
@@FishAholicTV thanks for the info......was down your way last week and fished tuesday and thursday..........windy crappy days but caught plenty of snook and hooked one tarpon. out of sandsprit park.
Hey rich just a heads up bc I know the area your in, you must use a descending device on all deep water groupers and tiles with at least 16oz and 60feet of line. Also if you wanna test out the electric I’ve got a 1000 tanacom you can use and see how you like it.
Oh cool, thanks for the heads up. I have seaequlizer but I didn’t have it rigged up so I vented the fish. I thought you just had to have either one on board.
@@FishAholicTV no while deep dropping it must be hooked up ready to go, every other species it doesn’t matter but the snowy groupers and tiles is specific about it! Those are the direct words from fwc for our area
Where did you get those sinker clips? It looked like you clipped it straight to your line. Been wanting to try those out. Most of the Almaco's we catch are 3 to 5 pounds. Usually they are free of worms at that size. You still salvaged a good bit of meat off of that almaco. Those clusters of worms are gross but those isolated ones you pulled out I usually don't mind them at all.
Rich, I love your videos bud. One of my pet peeves is with your boat. YOU HAVE SO MUCH STUFF ON THE DECK OF YOUR BOAT!!! Watch the serious Florida guys, there’s no ropes or bumpers on their deck. The deck of the boats are clean, everything is in its place. There’s no random coolers sitting on the deck, no orange waterproof boxes or tackle boxes sitting out. Just an observation buddy.
They also aren’t filming at all or as much as I do. I like to have all my camera gear and fishing gear at a quick arms length. The orange box has my battery charger in it to keep the GoPro batteries charged. In addition, the GoPro cameras over heat almost every hour. It happens very often when I’m fighting a fish. BUT. One way to keep the camera rolling is I quickly reach in to that orange box and grab a cold battery. Stick it in the camera and continue filming. If I had to go into a hatch every time I’m fighting a fish to grab a cold battery I would probably lose more fish and it would be even more of a pain in the butt. I fish a lot for various different species in the kayak, boat, or wade and surf fishing. Sometimes I’m in a rush I just throw everything on and go. A lot happens behind the scenes. Thanks for watching and I’ll try to more organized. My wife will probably help with that soon 😂
Went to Plymouth Ma for Stripers and it was my first time getting skunked in many years. Back to my bread and butter of the lower cape and RI area lol!
When your reel them in from 300ft. The last 200ft is like reeling in a boot. I have to figure out how to catch them jigging. It would be way more sporty and fun. I would rather do that.
Something about eating fish that contain worms that is just a little unappetizing even if you do cut out the bad parts. I used to work at a fish counter in Portland, Maine and some of the fish had worms, especially the cod.
Be careful with state vs federal. Once far enough offshore I think it’s 3 or 9 miles in Florida Atlantic mangos are 12 inches instead of 10. Yours was still legal though
My buddy Nate didn’t take any of the fish because he was going on a trip. I had more than enough for the week for myself. And with the approaching storm I wasn’t to worried about getting every single scrap.
Love the videos and the content, but you are getting a little too commercial with ads and sponsors and pushing products. I know losing one viewer won't matter to you, but thank you for past, fun videos.
you're such a hater lmfao. Bro takes the time to make fishing his career so we can enjoy watching. Obciously he needs income from it.. Plus he plugs us discounts for badass gear. Dumbest complaint I've ever seen
Sunday morning coffee and a Fishaholic video, and I'm good.....
I know...love it
Exactly!!
Same
long day of fishing then a fishaholic video brother 🤘🤘
Awesome!! Thanks so much for tuning in!!!

Thanks so much! I’m ok! Probably not as good as a sushi chef haha. Some of those guys are amazing.
Great adventure, yuck on the worms….
Perfect day on the water.
Thanks for bringing us along.
Cheers
Watch your vids all the time Rich, i live in Cornwall UK and just purchased a buffalo bag really great to keep your catch fresh .
Awesome!! Glad to hear!! I hope you can put it to good use!!
I was expecting the Canada striper video, but any fishaholic video is amazing
Coming soon!! I have a lot of work to get done!!!
@@FishAholicTV no rush bro. I’ll be here 😂
I really enjoy these underwater shots.
Rich

Love the cooler bag. I do a lot of kayak fishing and one of these would be perfect.
Awesome, I think it would be too!!
so cool to watch videos from someone who lives in the same city as me, feel like i learn a lot every video
Awesome, I’m glad to hear!!!
just ordered a buffalo bag, good deals on them, certainly affordable, especially with the discount
I must have missed a couple of your videos because I haven't seen one in several weeks. Nice video. The orange colored snapper was cool, as were the others of course.
Thanks so much David!! I’m glad you enjoyed!!
Great segment Rich!
Thanks so much!!
Watching this on my work break, happy 2024 fishing season for sure caught my first permit a week ago
Awesome, and congrats on the permit!!!
Rich you should check out those descending devices. They’re basically boga grips that will release at preset depths.
Yeah I have two. I just didn’t have it rigged and ready to go so I vented that little grouper. It swam down but who knows what happens 300 ft back down. Next time I’ll use the sea equalizer. Tbh I wasn’t to confident to actually get a grouper.

Haha yeah my buddy tried jigging but he didn’t have any bites. Maybe his braid was too heavy so it was hard for him to feel bottom with a 200g jig.
@@FishAholicTV I use a 20 oz jig in water that deep and the tide's running .
Why are almaco susceptible to worms?
I believe it is because of their diet. I’m not sure why they are prone to worms more than like tuna. I’d imaging offshore they probably eat similarly. But tbh I really don’t know.
Snowy grouper is by far the best eating fish in the ocean.
That little thing didn’t last long on my plate.
Almaco is very good. Usually the ones under 8lbs are worm free.
Ohhh ok next time I’ll keep a smaller one. It was still tasty!!
Great video as always rich
Thanks so much!!
How long did it take you to get used to conventional reels i am left hand reel so its weird. I am asking bc i just lost a good fish bc i dont know how to use them
where do you find the sinker clips..........??????? been tryihg to find some........
Right here bro FisherKing Line clips amzn.to/3WZcts4 also the links in the description
@@FishAholicTV thanks for the info......was down your way last week and fished tuesday and thursday..........windy crappy days but caught plenty of snook and hooked one tarpon. out of sandsprit park.
Nice video, nice catch bro
Thanks so much!!
Why do saltwater reels not have a mechanism that goes back and forth so you dont have to move the line with your thumb?
Hey rich just a heads up bc I know the area your in, you must use a descending device on all deep water groupers and tiles with at least 16oz and 60feet of line. Also if you wanna test out the electric I’ve got a 1000 tanacom you can use and see how you like it.

Almaco tastes better than amberjacks, specially the smaller ones. Try doing ikejime sometime.
Cool, thanks for the information. Tight Lines! 🎣

Went to Plymouth Ma for Stripers and it was my first time getting skunked in many years. Back to my bread and butter of the lower cape and RI area lol!
Awesome!! That must have been fun!! I recently was up in Canada and I caught a lot of striped bass exploring some new waters!!!
@@FishAholicTV I had no idea they went up that far north! Good stuff Rich! I’ll be down in Fl this October for some new species for me lol
Incredible!
Thanks Mike as always!!
Snowy grouper. ?
Yeah it was.
so good
Thanks so much!!!
You actually said it's not fun reeling in fish . Dude
When your reel them in from 300ft. The last 200ft is like reeling in a boot. I have to figure out how to catch them jigging. It would be way more sporty and fun. I would rather do that.
I am with you. I know the worms wont hurt you to eat neither will earthworms but that does not mean I want to eat them.
Hahaha yeah they don’t look tasty. 👀
Sick!
A cooler seems so much more convenient
Yeah but I have a small boat. My 115qt cooler takes up a lot of deck space.
Bigger Boat = Bigger 🐟 😊
Hahaha one day maybe.
It would be interesting to see you saltwater fly fish off shore
Yeah I’ll have to try one day!!! Maybe for mahi mahi
A i saw a technique to bleed air from a fish thru the mouth with a tube...less evasive
Oh ok interesting I’ll look into it.
Rich when u coming back up to NJ or montauk? Need a striper vid lol 😂
From my understanding if you catch the small ones out on grass those are way better tasting than the ones you catch out deep
Ohhh ok cool 👌🏻
Something about eating fish that contain worms that is just a little unappetizing even if you do cut out the bad parts. I used to work at a fish counter in Portland, Maine and some of the fish had worms, especially the cod.
Yeah I’ve caught many cod with worms!!
I know you don't like the worms. When you cook the fillets, the spaghetti worms become part of the meat.
They are harmless. Ask Landshark!
Haha ok 👌🏻 next time I’ll text Victor and ask if he wants the worm cut 😂
You're already almost to corporate to watch. A electric reel is a deal breaker
Haha ok thanks for your feedback.
These worms are delicious.
Hahahaha ok
🎣🤙🏼
Worms= nope, even with removing them, nasty
Haha gotcha!!
The worms are harmless to us humans. Keep the next smaller one u catch. Most smaller almacos are rlly good and have no worms.
Cool thanks for the heads up!
Be careful with state vs federal. Once far enough offshore I think it’s 3 or 9 miles in Florida Atlantic mangos are 12 inches instead of 10. Yours was still legal though
Cool thanks for the heads up!! I hope you are catching some fish this season!!
@@FishAholicTV thanks man love the channel! The growth you’ve gotten is well deserved
😎 Ccol
Rich wearing a giant “69” on his hat now lol
Those gloves got to stink at the end of a day lol
Hahaha yeah they sure do!
Good video but ALL the youtube commercial's take the pleasure out of it.
Pay for premium YT and you won’t have that problem
@@billmurray894 I know but I don't like it.
Ahh I’m sorry I’ll try to adjust that for you.
Really wasting a lot of the fish there after taking the fillet. Such a sad sight.
My buddy Nate didn’t take any of the fish because he was going on a trip. I had more than enough for the week for myself. And with the approaching storm I wasn’t to worried about getting every single scrap.
I didn’t realize how many highnies were into fishing.
Fish worms are disgusting. No way I'd cook and eat that.
Nope not everyone. If make a video with a electric reel count me out , won't ever watch it 😊
Ok 👌🏻 yeah I’m not really interested in that either that’s why I haven’t done it.
Love the videos and the content, but you are getting a little too commercial with ads and sponsors and pushing products. I know losing one viewer won't matter to you, but thank you for past, fun videos.
let the man make some money
Ur restarted and acoustic

No worries John, and getting out there and fishing is probably better. Tight Lines out there.
