Had the pleasure of knowing Billy Freeman Sr, he was so proud of his son after that Miami boat show. Freeman boat works deserves everything they've earned.
Nick I really enjoy you making content like this showing real life & real world situations. Mechanical issues and weather are never talked enough about on fishing channels or shows. Swordfishing is tough enough when you add rough conditions like you were in the odds landing one are slim. Glad you kept positive vibes the whole way!
Changed my mind about the gas being too expensive, 😆watching that bad boy eat the waves on the way home, What an epically amazing machine. Thanks for the videos.
I talked to a guy with a similar hull, he said it was great--until it wasn't. That, at a certain point, it went WAY up and almost went over, then slammed down so hard it jarred his teeth. He felt in horrible weather he would prefer a mono hull, that rolls easier, but would go over--harder in the rough. I don't know, I only know when I fished on a cat like yours, it was the coolest riding--and fishing hull I've ever been on. HUGE deck and easy access. Thanks for posting--it actually looked like a beautiful day on the ocean to me--rough and all.
Every Hull has its advantages but also has its drawbacks. The cat out preforms mono hulls in most sea conditions. Also the fishability and comfort is much better.
Generally speaking people who say 6-8ft seas get called out for BS! Those were DEFINITELY some big ass seas. Some I'd say were bigger than 6-8. I wanted to throw up sitting at my desk - Great job!
No doubt! Videos usually don’t do the wave height Justice but figured this one did when the waves were breaking into a 42’ freeman when fishing . Thanks for watching
That's fishing some days swing and a miss. I just want to add one comment I always catch my biggest fish in rough weather always. A great one everybody great video. 👍👍👍👍
Man I've never been seasick in my life but that time laps was getting to me! Lol . Pretty ruff but no water over the back, looks like a great Hull. I live two or three Hrs. north of you and I wouldn't have been out there, not in my boat anyway!
That rough water is the biggest reason I retired this year after 42 years my back is shot. Now that I'm retired I only go in calm water. But it's fun watching you do it. Ha
Yup, not a day for me anymore defiantly some 10's in the mix, would have been a meal @ the local steak joint till mother nature got back to being nice!! Freeman or no Freeman..
Beat to death and soaking wet we would save the day with some specks and reds or a Spanish . Then again my boat was 19’ and it was the Gulf of Mexico and it wasn’t a charter either
WOW THISE ARE SOME BIG 🌊'S Good video I enjoyed it even there was no swords that's ok its fishing not catching like you said. Mahi action is always great. 🤜🤛🐟🚤🌊
stanz, would a big 96" trolling motor help when swording? it doesnt have to spot lock and hold you in position but it could slow your drift and keep your bow into the waves right? ive seen it hold a 37 freeman, im sure it would slow your drift by 50 to 75% at moderate throttle, less rocking side to side also.
Have you looked into one of those Gyros you can get for boats these days which stop them rocking around in seas like this, not cheap but maybe something to look into
I have more on order. As of right now I have 2 but they are mislabeled 20 lb on the sticker. If you shoot me an email I’m happy to do a little discount if you want them. Stanzfishing@gmail.com
My opinion don't mean much as all know is what I've researched but it seems like a traditional mono hull with trim tabs for running and a seakeeper for fishing would out weigh the benefits of the cat efficiency. Admittedly I'm just a keyboard expert. Either way, great content and a fantastic boat.
Thanks for watching. Speed, comfort, quality of build, efficiency are all reasons for a freeman. If I ever went back to a mono hull I would get a sea keeper most likely, just no plans on going back anytime soon

The calm soothing music is a nice touch to chaos of the rough seas and wind. 😂😂😂
🙃
Glad you guys made it back safe and sound!
Rough day brother….glad you guys got it done….much calmer days coming
3:56 best save I have ever seen Great video as always!
1:15 'No fish no pay' was a Morris and Marty Lewis Main Attraction slogan from circa 1990. Much respect to those guys.
You gotta love when those lines start whistling.
That freeman can handle those seas very impressively!
That mahi save was AWESOME! 😂😂😂
👊🏻

Cats are a really rough ride when you are going into a sizable head sea. It's their biggest flaw unfortunately.
@@airick4038 Trimarans may be the future. Best of both worlds. Though expensive and big.
Every Hull has its advantages but also has its drawbacks. The cat out preforms mono hulls in most sea conditions. Also the fishability and comfort is much better.
@@StanzFam I'll stick with a 68 Viking. Smoke that Freeman.
@@KGFishyFingers it's like me saying I'll stick with a 120' wave piercing catamaran, it will smoke your viking..
You are the best capt. ever
Generally speaking people who say 6-8ft seas get called out for BS! Those were DEFINITELY some big ass seas. Some I'd say were bigger than 6-8. I wanted to throw up sitting at my desk - Great job!
Thanks! Definitely a few bigger ones in the mix.
Finally a video of true 6-8 footers! Most videos show this size waves and call them 15 footers lol
No doubt! Videos usually don’t do the wave height Justice but figured this one did when the waves were breaking into a 42’ freeman when fishing . Thanks for watching
I'd make a mesh barrel to put around the float to keep foam from getting under it 🤙
That's fishing some days swing and a miss. I just want to add one comment I always catch my biggest fish in rough weather always. A great one everybody great video. 👍👍👍👍
9:20 "good job for a 27 year old .. that looks 40 " this cracked me up !!
Whoo Wooo...another new StanzFam video.
6 to 8.....That's a dance on the stream on the 42'!!😅👀🎣
Lordie! Cameras always make the waves look smaller than they are. That one set of real big ones made that huge boat look pretty small!
🌊🚤

It definitely takes a toll on the body. Congrats on your retirement!
Mahi tip....leave your first catch in the water alongside your boat...the whole herd comes looking for food. Uses barb less hooks to catch the herd.
What the hell Nick youre a MADMAN! LOVE IT
Those freeman boats are awesome boats!!!
Wow ! I wonder what the ride would have been line in a
boat other than a Freeman Cat.
Unbearable for anyone not used to it I bet
Yup, not a day for me anymore defiantly some 10's in the mix, would have been a meal @ the local steak joint till mother nature got back to being nice!! Freeman or no Freeman..
Would have loved to see drone footage of you running home. Would have been some epic shots!
12:45 -- Was fun watching you troll these awful clients 😂
There's always some jerks 🤷♂️ Glad you got home safe.
Wait wait. Awful clients? Why would you put a comment like that? You know where you are you're a hater a real piece of crap
Your boat handled that well!
That was a good save👍🏾
6-8?!? Some of those look 10-12!! Great video again Nick!!
A few bigger ones in the mix for sure
You mean like 4-5

Thanks for watching
I would rethink that steel grill brush! That's a great way to have someone ingest a steel bristle! (would hate for that to happen to the baby)
There are many speeds other than full throttle. If you back off a little in rough weather you can preserve your boat and your spine.
Glad you didn't get to have some "greenies".......was fishing in Alaska.....those are no fun!! Great video!!
Yep I remember those late spring wind furries and no keeper anything’s until we would make it past anclote island
Beat to death and soaking wet we would save the day with some specks and reds or a Spanish . Then again my boat was 19’ and it was the Gulf of Mexico and it wasn’t a charter either
Nice boat 🚢 strong waves
That trip back in a deep Vee woulda broke some guys' backs! Looks like a great time! Beautiful boat!
Stay safe guys lol Fun riding in that stuff lol :)
WOW THISE ARE SOME BIG 🌊'S
Good video I enjoyed it even there was no swords that's ok its fishing not catching like you said. Mahi action is always great. 🤜🤛🐟🚤🌊
What a ride!
Damn you don’t mind that boat hitting😂 I been in that situation on a 31 and I can tell you that we ended up trolling for most of the way home
boats are built for it...
Love this content 👏
Capt. Nick, time to breakdown and get a SeaKeeper.
🤣 Seakeeper aint gonna fix 6-8ft seas and he'd need two
@@skullhart makes it ten times better
@@scottkuenzle3868spoiled
Can't put a seekeaper in a catamaran!!
yes you can
Cool video!
No fish no pay is Marty’s from Main Attraction in marathons saying 😂
Amazing content👍👍👍
Great shows!!!
Electronic float switches, worth the swap.
Dolphin is my favorite saltwater fish to eat. The billfish are fun but you can’t eat a trophy. Nothing wrong with that day’s catch.
Awesome. Always enjoy your videos.
Thanks 🙂
Happy Mother's Day to all the Mommy's 🙏 Viva Cristo Rey 🙏
You know it’s good when the baby licks the plate! 🤣🤣. Looked rough!
Footage of the ride home from a second boat or drone would’ve been beautiful!
Coming down hard on the tunnel oh no fun. Little bulldozer oh my how could you LOL
i love this content
Thanks for watching
My grill- the temptations
“The Scale Sizzler” new grille name
You sure as hell earned your money that day .love the no bull shit Just say it how it is
Looks intense in the ocean
just ordered a sweet Stanzfam hat!
Awesome. Thanks for the support 🙌🏻
Sporty weather
Great video. Thanks for sharing that trip with us.
Paid to play that day jack... i'd have to el paso on that trip.
Get ULTRA Safety Bilge Pumpswitches and you’ll never get a stuck float switch again. Freeman handling those 8 footers like a boss.
We have the ultra switches in the after lazzette boxes. I’ve had those get stuck and go bad as well.
Very Smooth
Man miss the days we had a mako it was a beast
Some serious rodeoing there on the way home. I’ll bet those shock absorbers in the seats were welcome.
stanz, would a big 96" trolling motor help when swording? it doesnt have to spot lock and hold you in position but it could slow your drift and keep your bow into the waves right? ive seen it hold a 37 freeman, im sure it would slow your drift by 50 to 75% at moderate throttle, less rocking side to side also.
I think In certain sea conditions it could definitely work or atleast help
Good day to test SeaKeeper.
I was in the leys last week on my 30 ft seahubt game fish and was in 12 fters
Just imagine a sea keeper on this.
Wait you can catch clean and cook dolphins?!?!?
That was my initial reaction before I realized that, that is a nick name for the mahi-mahi
Much rougher ride than I was expecting. Captains 42 v appears much smoother.
We were the only boat out there swordfishing that day 🤷🏻♂️
The ocean throws your boat around like a toy! Couldn't take all that bouncing!
We had 23 foot seas yesterday off the New England coast. Guess that's a non starter for anything not a big ship.
Have you looked into one of those Gyros you can get for boats these days which stop them rocking around in seas like this, not cheap but maybe something to look into
Nowhere to put a SeaKeeper Gyro in a catamaran.
🤘
Call the Grill.....The Sadie.
Should prob have kill switch on running in seas like that, especially that far off shore
When will the 30lb spinning rods be back in stock?
I have more on order. As of right now I have 2 but they are mislabeled 20 lb on the sticker. If you shoot me an email I’m happy to do a little discount if you want them. Stanzfishing@gmail.com
My back hurts only from watching.
Okay nick what is the roughest you have ever went out fishing or got caught out in
the kids eat really well. People may not believe it but little girls will eat more than boys. i know from experience
🙌🏻

When your drifting for swordfish, do you turn off 3 of your motors?
2 or 3 depending on the current
hey nick, what model SMITH glasses do you wear? how do you like them? better then Costas?
Redding with glass lenses. Much better! Great quality and warranty with them
@@StanzFam awesome man. I'll probably get Smiths Guides Choice. Thanks
This is when you wish you had the money for an 80 Viking!
You ain’t kidding 🙌🏻
Word
32 miles is nothing compared to the distance we go for the Fish. I can feel the tunnel slap coming through the my screen...Ouch.
New to your channel. Love it! Thanks for doing what you do! Where are you located? Thanks again.
Welcome to the channel! Islamorada
Looks like you got a bunch of big guys who don't want to be bothered to help or move.
Hi Nick.. That's got to run 750 k ish ? Will probably be my next hull. Can't beat a Cat.
The boat does great. This was a very rough day. Currently You can get a decent used one in the $650-$800k range. New ones are north of a million
Where do you store the wings when not in use?
In canvas bags in the left side of the coffin box
@@StanzFamis it rolled? Who made the bag?
@@mg3127 freeman’s supplier did. They are soft eisenglass curtains that roll up . Not as nice as the main curtains around console
Capt. Nick., I’d like to come down but What day is it going to be slick clam, this year?
Last week we had a few good days, hoping this summer to have plenty
Bro get float switches with a housing it doesn’t let debris burn you pump. I’m surprised freeman has float switches like that
We have the cylinder float switches in the after compartments. I’ve had a couple issues with this over the years as well
😊👍
