I’m not a jealous person but is because Florida have about 65778758788854888484858485 species of fish to catch. Shhiiiiet there invasive species is more exciting than 10 species we catch in NY. If lucky we get an occasional cobia etc
Nice of you to say where your at! For us that only maybe get to run down there once in a blue moon, it really help to get pointed in the right area. Thanks and Great job.
When I grow up (although I'm probably twice your age) I wanna be just like you, you my friend are living the dream and I am envious every day. It's ok still, cause I live vicariously though you, lol
Haha 😆 as I get older though I’m starting be envious of others who have what I don’t so I think it goes both ways. But I’m loving life every second of it on the water.
So, for as long as I’ve been a fan and a follower, I always get excited when TH-cam notifies me of your newest post. You truly let us feel the experiences as if we’re along for the ride. This was a great day for you...sunshine and quiet waters and lots of fishy business. Thanks as always Rich! State safe and as always LTF...FTL👊🏼
I’m not doubting that you already know this but I think you keep losing the Tarpon because you don’t bow when they jump. It could also be the fact that they are tarpon and they are hard to hook as well. Anyways awesome video man! So hyped for this video series!
Got into fishing with kayak . Then wanted to follow kayak videos. Yours are great. It’s a great idea to fish different area for us viewers. Like Murielle’s inlet. Thanks Bruce Allen
There is absolutely no way to be bored in Florida , fishin, sAlt and fresh, spear fishing for tilapia and barramundi , snakeheads , peacock bass in the sewers lol. pythons in the bathroom , gator , яHogzilla, and now suddenly everyone is an iguana hunter . I’d have the coolest apex predator show. Diddlly gonna bite me lol
I never fished in warm oceanic waters, needless to say, you catch a lot of fish on my bucket list and Tarpon is definitely one of them. Great video and really clear, clean waters!
Gotta get you over to our 30A- Destin area -- when you see the tarpon jump push the rod down towards the fish to give it line and it wont pop the hook as easy. Fun times !
This is one of my favorite kayak fishing TH-cam channels. He fishes bait, live bait, artificial lures, and fly fishing. Subscribe so he can keep it going.
Wow thanks Kevin for sticking around and for the kind words! Glad to hear you look forward to new uploads! I love to read these comments because in the end of the day it will give me more motivation. Tight Lines until next time 👍🏻
I’m a huge fan... I’m headed to the Keys to fish in a week and I was 100% inspired by your previous videos, I ordered some Vudu Shrimp too 😉. You also were my inspiration to start Kayak fishing. Keep it up.
The difference between he and most, is this guy knows that we are here to do what we love. When that happens, life takes care of itself. Don’t believe the programming! We deserve as much joy, health and happiness as we can take. Peace to you and yours…
Hey man word of advice for jacks, if u grab them and put a finger on each on of those black spots and squeeze it acts like a pressure point and they won’t flop
Was just going to suggest collapsable canvas water buckets to slow the YaK down when your Nantucket sleigh riding. Then you put the peddle in reverse. Such efficient rigs. I always had a problem putting the end of the fight pressure on the big fish. Nothing better than exploring the keys on a yak.
Yet to land a tarpon on a kayak. Been pulled around a bunch but they seem to always spit the hook. When they hit the canals where I’m at I’m landing one this year. Epic day keep up the slaying fishing days.
Thanks Angel! Glad to hear 4 more episodes to come! And more long drag screaming reels as the days go on. I’ve gotta fish Cali one of these days so you got me there.
Have to say that Florida is a 10 and cali is a 5 in variety and numbers Even better than MN in my opinion Easy fishing is Tamiami Canal for bass and peacock bass in Spring time. I plan to hit Tampa soon..
I have never personally tarpon fished, but everyone says you have to bow to the king (rod tip down when they jump). May help keep more of them hooked! Then again, you do this for a living
When the tarpon jump “bow to the king” or put the rod tip to the water. It will help with the slack and it will be harder for them to spit the hook. The line will raise when they are about to jump that is when you (bow down) or put the rod tip to the water.
Great video! I feel like the mangrove snapper down in the keys are way more aggressive than when you find them in other parts of Florida-rare to get one on artificial up on the gulf coast.
Haha I’ve had a lot of years of practice from standing on slippery wet rocks in rough surf to owning an outback since I was 16. My balance is pretty good and the kayak is like an extension of myself lol 😆
I love me some no name key bridge, possibly my favorite key bridge, hooked a big tarpon there, jumped and snapped my line. And my anchor is still there.
So hyped for these florida vids
Awesome glad to hear!!

Tarpon are the top of my bucket list. Great action.

Been trying to come up with a dream yak trip for my wife and I. These vids with actual locations are awesome!

@@FishAholicTV stoked!
Super excited for this series! It’s beautiful out there!
You're a way better fisherman than I am but you gotta bow that rod when they jump! Bow to the king!!

Chills down my spine. Only way to describe that little intro! Great work brotha!
Haha awesome! I change slightly with every new episode so look forward to that. I have so much content!
that first tarpon under the bridge was a nice fish
Got into fishing with kayak . Then wanted to follow kayak videos. Yours are great. It’s a great idea to fish different area for us viewers. Like Murielle’s inlet. Thanks Bruce Allen
Exciting footage of hunting those little tarpon!
You’ve got some precision with your aim, my goodness. Thank you for the upload
Good stuff Rich. I'm very much looking forward to this series and your time in Florida.
Thanks Brad!! I’m looking forward to hearing you all enjoyed them and are hungry for more!! Tight Lines!
Super pumped about these keys vids. Ill be down in marathon at the end of next week.
This guy is smart for looking the fishing spot. Bravo
Team Vudu for the win... LOL
Vudu Shrimps work great in fresh water too, I use them in Lake Erie with great results...
Enjoy this series every year!!
Looking forward to rest of series, always best fishing videos.

That was a great video!! I look forward to the others :)
Awesome thanks! Glad to hear!!
Love these exploring type videos! So sick.
Another great video Rich!!! The keys are one of my favorite places ever!!!!
I never fished in warm oceanic waters, needless to say, you catch a lot of fish on my bucket list and Tarpon is definitely one of them. Great video and really clear, clean waters!
Super exited for the new series
Tarpon are such cool fish aerial acrobats and even the small ones fight with such vigor
Tarpon's are so much fun to fish , the snappers as well.
So hyped for this series🔥
Glad to hear Michael!!
Congratulations brohter 👍💪😃 Puerto San José Guatemala 🇬🇹👏👏🎣
Love watching his dude. Watching from Southern California
Awesome thanks Alex for tuning in! It amazes me when a viewer mentions where they’re watching from 🤙🏻
You've got me jonesing for a keys fishing trip now... i love your vids. Subscribed for sure.
The view of key is gorgeous！make this vid like movie
totally dig the underwater footage
Gotta get you over to our 30A- Destin area -- when you see the tarpon jump push the rod down towards the fish to give it line and it wont pop the hook as easy. Fun times !
Killer video! It was great meeting you today, hope you found a few fish!
Hey Cade yeah likewise 👍🏻. I found some fish yesterday but nothing crazy. Just enough to keep a couple for the table and have a few fish tacos haha.
Just back from Cedar Key where we were skunked for a week due to a cold spell. Wish we had gone further south like you. Best of luck.
This is one of my favorite kayak fishing TH-cam channels.
He fishes bait, live bait, artificial lures, and fly fishing.
Subscribe so he can keep it going.
Been watching your videos since you went to rhode island. You inspired me to fish here in Florida. Love your channel im always waiting for new vids
Wow thanks Kevin for sticking around and for the kind words! Glad to hear you look forward to new uploads! I love to read these comments because in the end of the day it will give me more motivation. Tight Lines until next time 👍🏻
Great start
Thanks Pavel! Gets better as the days go on 👍🏻
I love the fishing experience series!
I love too watch you fish while i eat. Good entertainment. Should of kept that red snapper for lunch!

Man your drone is a game changer! You qualify of footage is great 👍! Tight lines 🎣
This serie is going to be 🔥🔥🔥
Nice kayak you got there, I wish I could have one for fishing... 😊✌️
The intro is fire and good video
Hey man word of advice for jacks, if u grab them and put a finger on each on of those black spots and squeeze it acts like a pressure point and they won’t flop
Love the florida videos. Keep em comin
Thanks Anthony I’ll try my best 🤙🏻

I enjoyed that one Rich, looking forward to more 👍🎣
Great video. Thanks
9:47 You know you're a true fisherman when your reflexes are that good to block a lure while standing in a kayak without batting an eye.
Haha tbh it was so hot in that little sheltered area I wouldn’t have cared much if I fell in 😆
Awesome videos at always dude! Stoked on the Keys Series. Keeping us Californians jealous haha 🤙
Thanks Angel! Glad to hear 4 more episodes to come! And more long drag screaming reels as the days go on. I’ve gotta fish Cali one of these days so you got me there.
Keep em comin! When you were landing that tarpon, I was anticipating a shark attack!
Next episode!! Gotta tease a little right 🤷🏻♂️. Otherwise why come back hahaha.
I think Florida has some of the best fishing in the country! I hope to go some day and do some fishing.
Have to say that Florida is a 10 and cali is a 5 in variety and numbers
Even better than MN in my opinion
Easy fishing is Tamiami Canal for bass and peacock bass in Spring time.
I plan to hit Tampa soon..
I have never personally tarpon fished, but everyone says you have to bow to the king (rod tip down when they jump). May help keep more of them hooked! Then again, you do this for a living
Love the content brother!
So good man!
Amazing video very beautiful 🤩
Awsome vid! I’m about to get out on my hobie for the first time since winter
Always remember to bow to the king
When the tarpon jump “bow to the king” or put the rod tip to the water. It will help with the slack and it will be harder for them to spit the hook. The line will raise when they are about to jump that is when you (bow down) or put the rod tip to the water.
bout time, gotta pull out that vudu shrimp again
Beautiful content man. Have you seen any diamondback terrapins while out there?
Great video! I feel like the mangrove snapper down in the keys are way more aggressive than when you find them in other parts of Florida-rare to get one on artificial up on the gulf coast.
Some people call the snook robalo while the snapper or grouper is called pargo last but not least el Tiburon also called shark
That is some good fun!
Gets better as the days go on 😏
Those snappers looked delicious
Awesome channel bro keep it up!
Great video bro! Dang it, now I'm starting to think about the keys, Just what I need, another bucket list destination!
Thanks bro! Haha sorry 🤷🏻♂️. You definitely should got when it’s convenient though. So much water to fish...
Awesome video mate
This was awesome!
Thanks Zack!! 🤙🏻
Elite!
You have some impressive balance standing on the outback Rich. I'm alittle afraid to do on my hobie and lose my stuff lol
Haha I’ve had a lot of years of practice from standing on slippery wet rocks in rough surf to owning an outback since I was 16. My balance is pretty good and the kayak is like an extension of myself lol 😆
What’s a good setup for jack crevalle
where can i get the finback shads? and what size jig head should i use?
Amazing content dude
Ballsy bringing a certate out in the kayak dude! I would be paranoid about something happening to it lol
Haha yeah I take chances I shouldn’t. I’ve lost my van Staal before but then dove down 25ft and got it. Never brought that in the kayak again 👍🏻
@@FishAholicTV have you tried the Vanford yet?
when is the darkmatter going to be available?
Great video! What kind of shoes are you wearing? My husband is looking for water/wading shoes. Thanks!
Love this video. Tarpon is such a beautiful fish. What jog head are you using on the fin back shad?
Keep up the good work
Rich your intro was sick................
Bro,,,, the best
Great watch. Are tarpon nice to eat?.
I love me some no name key bridge, possibly my favorite key bridge, hooked a big tarpon there, jumped and snapped my line.
And my anchor is still there.
Haha sounds about right. But sounds like it was a good outing either way 👍🏻
@@FishAholicTV wana get real close to a tarpon, go to Robbie's and hand feed the tarpon. It was way more fun than I'd thought it would be.
Thats a very nice video . I apsolutly love your fishing videos . but if evry tarpon goes away why you arent jousing triple hooks ?🙃
Gotta 'bow to the king' when they jump..tarpon are nicknamed 'silver king' at least where i live..
Your casting is great though. Nice job.
Sir may i recommend a landing net?
How can you resist the temptation to get out and wade fish in the shallows?
Well some of the bottom is like a grassy sandy/muddy bottom and you sink in pretty quick. But on day three I do a bunch of flats fishing for Bones.
I'm vacationing to Miami and the keys this June. What do I have to do to get you to hook me on some fish!?
Cool!!
What Kayak are you using, I’m relocating to Miami next month.
