My grandpa and grandma had a camper parked year around at Taylor Creek campground in the early 70's and they would bring me and my brothers out for a weekend or a week. They had a 18' Starcraft with a 25hp outboard then we head out of the locks and fish for 4-6 hours and bring back specks, bluegills and a few bass for a big fish fry with hush puppies. Everyone in our area would eat and talk till I had to go to bed (8 yrs. old) but I'll never forget those times!
The best part of watching you all..is knowing you can take care of your family in good times or bad . I think that will be the difference soon . God bless you and your family . PK
Hey Gabe, your biggest fans here out of New Zealand. Don't ever stop traveling and having adventures, because we live vicariously through you! We LOVE your channel!
You, your brother, and Kelly are my first go to’s when I get online. Thx for all the memories. I especially like how you all expand on a trip.. as in start with Kelly, jump to Gabe to see other footages, etc. love you all 😎
My grandfather's friend ran the locks between Lake Tohopekaliga and Lake Okeechobee. That was some of the best fishing I had ever experienced, when the spillway was open we could catch bluegill on bare hooks, John the guy that ran the locks would pay us kids 25cents a gar head. Those were some of my fondest memories back in the early 90s, I miss those days
I've been in Okeechobee for over a month for work. staying at Taylor creek waterfront rv park. me or the ol lady has been fishing everyday in Taylor creek. she finally cought one palm size blue gill 2 days ago.
Bluegabe you are a living legend...maximum respect. Man they''ll be people that comment negative to your vids....please ignore them... Man what you do with your sons👍👍👍...putting together vids= Ill assume =takes sweat and hard work. ' Never give up....power and respect from across the pond plett south africa
wow can't believe you actually dined at my fav restaurant! their fried bluegill is the best in US, nevermind FL. the workers are one of the most down to earth and hard working people. they always cook up the best battered fish!
I was going to say that little gal back there frying fish looked like she was all business. She probably does it every day--and I could just about taste that fish. It was frying perfection.
....anytime I'm cleaning bluegill, shell crackers, panfish whole like that, I always score them right down the backbone on each side so that that whole top piece comes off at once !!!!
Happy Father’s day . Continue the strong work as a Father. Love your and Kelly’s videos. I’d give a leg for good vis and warm water ! Maybe not a leg but a finger. haha
You make being a TH-camr look fun! Every time I get discouraged I just watch your videos and it makes me want to shoot and edit again. I love preserving the memories to have forever. Love yours and Kellys channels! So much inspiration!
We used to catch blue gill right from the doc as a kid. With handlines and the wrapper that was on bologna. The fish couldn't get it off the hook so we could use it all day. That was a lot of fun.
We have an abundance of cichlids in a big pond behind my office. I tried throwing tons of baits at them, but they would just set there and look at it. My daughter had a bag of donut holes, so I started putting a marble sized ball on a little hook. As fast as you could rebait, we loaded up. They are a very good tasting fish, hands down. And it seams there's no end to the amount in this small lake/pond. Try bread or anything, and they attack.
Great video, start to finish. We lived on what Dad caught in the Long Island sound when we were kids, mostly bass, blues, blow fish, and clams. Dad caught 'em, Mother cleaned and cooked 'em. I miss those days! You always remind me of the good times. Thanks for the memories.
Hi Gabe, Thank you for your time making these videos. Would you please take that gentleman fishing and help him catch some fish! It would make a great video.
One of best videos you have ever made I grown up fishing fresh water creeks and dams and swamps here in Australia love it and going to start doing it again
I was born and raised in South Florida and moved to California in 1969. I have to get back there just once before I croak and just play for a while. Hell I could pay for the trip with fish in the freezer.
Glad to see you let the Red-ear go and showed the Invasive fish are a fine substitute! Not a fan of things dying because they're here by our negligence + hurricanes and just trying to live. Then again I forgot who's Channel I'm watching.
Those folks cleaning fish are somethin' else! That place wasn't for the faint hearted! I would love to go gator hunting with you! As a native Floridian, I've seen a bunch of 'em, never hunted them. Great video!
Gabe great video brother. Always a good day when you can fill a bucket with fish. Even better when you can fry them up with friends and have a good old fashioned fish fry with them with friends. I told Rob that the videos you Rob and Kelly have been putting out have been a great help to me. After being in the hospital for almost a month and now that I'm home after having triple bypass surgery. I look forward to the videos all 3 of you put out. It keeps me going through the pain after the surgery. And I'm on a long road of recovery after the doctors having to crack open my chest to do the surgery. I'm not able to do much right now with fishing and hunting. So it gives me something to look forward to once I'm able to get back to it again. But Gabe I've been a member of the channel since you first started the channel Kelly's also. Been a member of Robs also since almost the very beginning of his channel also. Keep them great videos coming brother. And God bless you Kelly and your boys. Stay safe, safe travels and keep them great videos coming brother.
If I had the opportunity I’d honestly just want to spend a day with bluegabe and his family fishing and eating and enjoying the blessing of life. Always great vibes from your videos.
I wish I could have done some of the fishing or gator hunting when I was in Florida for training while in the Marine Corps! I have to live vicariously through your, Kelly's and Robert's videos. #lovinglife
I was wondering what part of Florida do you live we are about to move to Florida I would like to meet you guys I love to fish I never done the kind of fishing like you do I’m trying to get my two grils into fishing when we move to Florida your a very good dad I love watching you and your brother it would be a wonderful to meet you all
I know you're monetized so I have subscribe years ago and I always make sure I put the like button watch it so you get credit for it. New Smyrna Beach has your back and I got mosquito lagoon at my fingertips with a 16 ft aluminum flats
Just Like Growing Up, Situations Are Changing Quickly, But The ONE THING That Never Changes Is Ya HAVE To EAT! LOL! ......My Granny Used To Always Remind Me When I Asked Her, "Why Is This Meat So Tough?" She'd Reply, "It Would Be A Lot Tougher If Ya Didn't Have It!"......That Statement Has ALWAYS Remained In My Mind & Taught Me To Become Very Frugal & Thankful When It Comes To Food, Especially Meat, Regardless Of What Kind....You & Yours Practice That Same Policy I See! LOL!....A Beautiful Way To Be.....
Gabe I'll take a mess of big bluegill, shell cracker, specks, and red bellys over the invasive species. They are my favorite freshwater fish to eat. I've been catching a bunch on small top water lures.
Been watching for over a year got my brother hooked on you in Texas I'M in Fort Myers area here in Florida And I will be 75 this month 8/22/47 I really enjoy your films
okay hahaha bro you need to make that a shirt man " it's not the size of the worm it's how you wiggle it" bluegabe fishing lol I love the channel man I live in west palm and work on a charter out of a marina by peanut island next time your here that would be awesome if i can do something with you.
There's so many fish around the world that are classed as pest fish. If they are cooked right, a lot of them could be sold in restaurants. We have tilapia here in Australia. If you catch one, you have to kill it and bury it away from the water or in a garbage bin. You are not allowed to fillet it and eat it.
Wow I'm from ct just got to west palm wish I was going farther would love to fish with you one day. I'm a big time fisher in the north but love the new views down here
Hey Blue Gabe, I had a question about finding one of your videos that I couldn’t find. I sent you a message on your instagram but you never replied. I don’t know if you answer messages or not on instagram, but if you could get back to me, I’d greatly appreciate it. Thanks,
I enjoy watching you and your fishing and your videos but I have to tell you watching those people clean those fish like experts was so cool. I wish you would film some more a little longer of them cleaning all the different seafood.
Really enjoyed your vids, keep up the great work, I appreciate how you give away your catch to people who love eating fish, I do the same thing and expect nothing back. Keep that line wet and be safe!
I took my wife to Disney World one time a few years ago remember what year I think it was thousand one maybe 2002 and we were at Disney World and it was 28° when we showed up at Disney World but she wanted to ride that boat across the lake to the entrance
The cichlids would be what I'd be after!! I can catch shell crackers up here(Ocala area), about what dates was that??? May book a trip!!! Didn't see the links for you or your charter buddy there....
I get a kick out of you saying how cold it is, when I first moved from Alaska to upstate New York it was 30° in Alaska in January and got to New York and it was 30° below zero. Lol 21° is a piece of cake!!

Thanks Bluegabe for showing us Lake Okeechobee-I've always wondered what that lake was like, a rather large inland lake in South Florida with so many other bodies of water around.
I remember that freeze i was visiting my uncle in Merrit Island , and his dogs water bowl froze , luckily he had a cast iron wood fire place in his kitchen !
I live in ny and there was an invasive species called gobey, they’re a small fish that only get to about 5-6 inches but they mainly feed on fish eggs and baby fish, but now that the larger fish have started eating them, those fish are getting much larger much faster because gobey’s have turned into a very abundant source of food, just last weekend the state record smallmouth bass was broken, 8.5 lbs.
Same in Michigan with the gobeys. Our record smallie fell a couple of years ago, 10 lbs! Likely fed up on gobies as they are very common in the river it was caught in. 7-8 lb fish are coming out of our lakes here now every year.
I hate trying to fish in the st Lawrence because of the gobey's go out trying to catch perch and all you get are gobey ... They are annoying but I'm glad our bigger native fish are preying on them.
The perch in Lake Erie have been eating gobeys, the st Lawrence has a lot more cover for the gobeys which might be why, Lake Erie is a very flat bottom with almost zero cover once you get out to where the perch are in 50-70’ of water.
Bluegabe real nice mess of fish. The man fileting the fish sure did appreciate the fish you gave him. I'm hungry now after watching this. Uncle Keith in Ohio
Eeewww, you didnt rinse them off,, before you took them to be cooked, well, you didnt show it if you did🤮-- I dont eat ANYKIND of fish ANYMORE-- Not even Tuna from the store!!--- to much CONTAMIATION IN ALL THE OCEANS!!!🌊🌊,, then when I watched a program about Cruise Ships & Other vessels & how the human waste & and crap is DUMPED IN OUR OCEANS-- IT GROSSED ME OUT & I dont even by meat anymore , or eggs & bacon, that I used to like Alot-- but so much food contamination & recalls in recent yrs have REALLY turned me OFF!!! An aunt of mine in Washingto State came home from COSTCO with some expensive SALMON-- when she opened it up to cook it for dinner that night --- it had live worm PARASITES!!😱😬-- SHE took it back & the guy told her""" OH, IT HAPPES Sometims!!!- WTH--- so GROSS----- that was about 5 or 6 yrs ago😬
@@dorishanoum3811 If that grosses you out, you should see the fruits and vegetables that you buy. I'd rather eat meat than have the land destroyed by modern day farming.
I like the concept about the species that migrated into the fisheries, "They here, they not going anywhere, just start harvesting em, they are good eating". Good stuff 🎣.
From walking knee deep in Texas mud catching monster gars, Florida Iguanas and now worm fishing on Ochachobee. Gabe is a Savage and is as Game as any Rooster 🐓 I have ever seen. Happy Father's Day 👊
You said it. And then there's the single breath deep diving where he's down there and just lingering and spearing a fish. Lingering. That IS savage. And game. Then there's noodling.
If you skin the bream you will not taste the muddy taste. We skin Redbreast and all the bream we catch in the Ogeechee river and Cannochee river. Catfish skinners and a sharp knife , The breaded sticks better to the fish also.

Happy Father's day to all you dad's out there, and to you single dad's like me, remember in the eyes of your kids you are the true Superman.
Same to you 👊
The canals in Davie had some crazy tropical fish in 1970s that’s when I was dip netting grass shrimp to use for bait for shell cracker..
I was in FL for my youngest's 3rd bday. He said he wanted to fish. We caught a mess of Mayans. He ate a massive plate! Good eating!
Panfish is probably the easiest thing to start a kid out on for fishing, find a lake on a low wind day, right after a rain they should bite.
You make being a TH-camr look fun! Every time I get discouraged I just watch your videos and it makes me want to shoot and edit again. I love preserving the memories to have forever. Love yours and Kellys channels! So much inspiration!

From walking knee deep in Texas mud catching monster gars, Florida Iguanas and now worm fishing on Ochachobee. Gabe is a Savage and is as Game as any Rooster 🐓 I have ever seen. Happy Father's Day 👊
Welcome to GA. Blue Gabes home turf must suck... GA ate his bs alive
You said it. And then there's the single breath deep diving where he's down there and just lingering and spearing a fish. Lingering. That IS savage. And game. Then there's noodling.
@@jbj27406 That's Right ✅️
They have that fish slicing down to an art.
If you skin the bream you will not taste the muddy taste. We skin Redbreast and all the bream we catch in the Ogeechee river and Cannochee river.
Catfish skinners and a sharp knife ,
The breaded sticks better to the fish also.
That gar was absolutely huge no wonder they get that big no one wants to wrestle with that mud as much as you did to catch him.LOL
You should take that gentleman fishing that you gave the fish to, poor guy said he couldn’t catch fish
You ought to take fish cleaning guy ( Oliver)? Fishing. He said he went twice and didn’t catch anything
It's not how deep you fish, its how you wiggle the worm.
