I have to tell you….Although I do love to fish, I’m not usually particularly interested in watching others do so. Your honesty, humbleness, skill and most of all your respect for what you catch make you a pleasure to watch. I believe that even if you had a channel that showed nothing but you shoveling horse manure you’d still receive the love you do on this channel. It’s more about you than the content. (Although I do give you kudos for your content as well.)You seem like a very nice guy and it’s not luck that you do as well as you do. Keep it up. You’re a pleasure to watch.
As a newbie, I appreciate your detailed explanations of equipment and strategy. Your labeling and display of the fish are invaluable. Consider coming over to Dauphin Island.
You know what's great about your videos? I feel like we're out on the beach hanging out and catching some stud blues together in the sun. I'm actually just sitting at my desk avoiding work, but you have the ability to let people just mentally get away for a while and relax. I asked my wife for one of your sweatshirts for my birthday. I'll let you know next week if she came through!
Sting Ray catch and cook sounds good. Also you give great mid video tackle tips as well as gear reviews which I love. However those could easily be other videos as well.
Awesome video. Thanks for going over the COMPLETE setup description! Also thanks for the careful releases! So many just throw the fish back. Great job.
Great video!!! Just shows that you don't need a lot equipment to o go have fun! A little hardware a little bait n catching fish gotta love it!!🐟🐟 I'd like to see a catch n cooks stingray. I'd be game to try one if I knew how to clean n cook it.
Favorite kind of fishing, thank you for doing different kinds and not just sticking to one style fishing. Keep up the great videos, and I’m sure you’ll get a lot of subscribers
Great videos! I'm 77 & learned a trick from my Mom about blues. She told me to fillet them & soak them in milk for 1 hour plus, if it's very large. I recall watching the oil rise to the surface of the milk. Sweetest fish fillet I ever ate! My dad & I used to catch 20+ lb. blues off shore from Stone Harbor, NJ. Lived in Ocean City, NJ-now in south AL.
I just viewed your fishing trip with your mom on the boat. I was just thinking to myself that I've never seen your mom on your boat and surprise there she was. I think it's fantastic that you can share pure fishing adventures with your mom. I enjoy all of your videos that I have seen. Take care God bless both of you. Art from San Antonio Texas ✝️😃🐟
One last comment. One year I was catching a lot of blues and not much of anything else. For a few days for some reason. They are oily. Put some fillets in a glass baking dish. 350. Check them every couple minutes and pour off the liquid. When there done rendering or a little before then take them out to cool and make something like a tuna fish salad with the blue meat. Fresh and delicious!
really late to the party here however I do hope you get a chance to see this. When you have a sand flea take a knife and just poke a very small hole at the back side where the shell is there is a small tringle looking area that you can poke into with out going all the way through. this will allow you to put the hook through with a little more security and will not dull your hook as much as if you were to just push it through the shell.
One of my favorite fishing channels. Great job Stephen. Like budzilla says below, it's your delivery followed by a close second with your great content as well. One of my gotos.
Bro you are the goat! I’m in Houston and I absolutely love your channel very informative and great to watch. Keep ‘em coming I’ve about watched all of them!
Awesome. Just discovered you Stephen. Thanks for the stingray tip. Very useful. I’m on the Atlantic side. Surf casting has been tough due to king Tides. God bless brother. 👍
Another great video glad I bumped into your channel. I don't get to the ocean much but your vids are pact full of info us mountain people can use. Thanks for the effort.
I'm always learning from your videos.. I watched a video of yours about a week ago, where you pulled random bait out of your bait cooler. I think a bait roulette would be nice.
You do use expensive tackle. I have a Shimano SSG 7000 rear drag saltwater reel that I love. It is huge with 14 drag washers. I use Offshore Angler Ocean Master graphite 11’ and 12’ rods I’ve used for 30 years now. I put 20 lb. blue Yo-Zuri braid on it backed with 20 lb. mono. It’s the first rear drag I’ve ever used in the surf. It caught a lot of fish! I collect and restore vintage surf spinning reels with 175 reels in my collection. Those were very nice blues. Great video!
If you've ever bought 'bay scallops' from a seafood counter, you've eaten stingray. Bluefish is an ideal fish to keep if you grind your own chum and freeze it in small plastic tubs.
Just a tip about that black slider (fish finder rig) those black ones aren't meant for braid, if you cast them hard enough the braid cuts through the plastic. Look into the yellow and blue harder material plastics. I lost to many weights with that
just tried sting ray the other day myself, couldnt find anything wrong with it, ya gotta try grilled bbq hard head catfish though, their meat has a natural sweetness to it that makes it perfect for bbq
Haven’t fished with any thing like fish bights in years. Didn’t get any action on them but it is nice for tipping a tender piece of shrimp with that 3ozs. Know you aren’t fishing “on credit”.pick up some flounder strips or something leather like next time I go to store. I am not a beginner. But I am in the market for some new gear. I think even veterans and definitely beginners really appreciate all the descriptions of your gear and specifics on stuff like hooks. I hope it helps,Worth a sub & like from me.
I’m the same. I don’t ever use more than 3 soak rigs and I have a small little pond rod that I use for artificials. Too many poles is too much work for me. I’m old. Lol
Great channel bro! Down here now in fort Morgan your videos were so helpful being a fresh water guy from TN. What do I do when I want to fish with the fam at the Beach but it’s crowded. Just can’t do it? I purchased a 9’ Daiwa BG combo with a 4500 reel
I was in Orissa, in East India, and the kids were fishing from the beach with lines wrapped around bottles. Some kids caught a ray and they were hopping around so I gave them my leatherman penknife, thinking they they would get the hook out and put it back. They snapped the poisonous spines off it and took it to eat.
No doubt pound for pound a Bluefish is the toughest fish in the sea. I had a guy disagree with me stating tuna in harder. I asked him the last time he landed a 250 lb. blue? I told him you would need a backhoe to land it
Lovin your channel man, one of the best!!! I am going to be in Alabama next week and will have a few days to wet some lines. Any recommendations on spots to fish?

Love to see you clean & cook a stingray. I absolutely love your videos! Making plans to down meet you and fish beach, pier and boat!!!
Please do a ray catch clean and cook! I would definitely be interested in trying one myself if I manage to catch one next time I’m in gulf shores!
Heading down to Perdido Key for Spring Break and trying to figure out how to fish! Thanks for the videos.
Awesome.! Best of luck !
I love I can watch these vids infront of my parents and they love you because you are a great influence to me 🙏 thank you

I’m from gulfshores but now live in Orlando Florida so seeing my home town or areas i fish in or swim in from this far away is relaxing. thank you!
I love catching blues! Especially on a spoon or lure. They hammer when they bite. Such an aggressive fish. Cool video man. Thanks for the content.
thank you for keeping your videos clean! My son and I love to watch!
You are so welcome!
Bro you are the goat! I’m in Houston and I absolutely love your channel very informative and great to watch. Keep ‘em coming I’ve about watched all of them!

Great video! Thank you. Makes me want to visit Alabama.
Absolutely do a stingray catch and cook
I vote yes to the stingray catch and cook. Awesome video content buddy
Please show me how to clean and cook a stingray. Thanks, love your Chanel!
I’ve heard smoked blues are good for fish dip
very good
The resolution on your video is amazing! Perhaps you did it, and I missed it, but could you do a video on different kinds of rigs?
I have the exact reel but with a 7 and 1/2 foot rod with 20lb powerpro line and it is just amazing. Stradic FL is my fav for evrything.
Yup tired of that rain
Made my grass grow a lot.
Glad it’s gone.
You're growing so fast, congrats
A ray catch and cook would be awesome
Love to see a catch and cook
I’m the same. I don’t ever use more than 3 soak rigs and I have a small little pond rod that I use for artificials. Too many poles is too much work for me. I’m old. Lol
Love the video ! I’m in the Hampton Roads area in Virginia. How do I keep the crabs from biting my bait while surf fishing?
Love the 1st Cav hat.
Yesssss stingray catch and cook please!!!

Liking the hat buddy
You and catch em all should do a catch and cook
Great show. " Would love to see the stingray catch n cook
Yes, do the sting ray catch n cook! I've been curious about it. Seen some on TH-cam, but I'd like to see how you do it 🤙
A catch and cook on stingrays would be a good thing. Most people have no idea the best way to cook them, or even clean them.
Stingray catch and cook sounds cool
That is great I miss so much fishing the surf in Florida
Sting ray catch and cook for sure!!
Sting ray catch and cook would be awesome

Keep it up. You have some great videos.
Stingray catch and cook in Steve Erwins honor!
I like the sand flea flavor with orange on one side and white on the other side for the fish bites.
No doubt pound for pound a Bluefish is the toughest fish in the sea. I had a guy disagree with me stating tuna in harder. I asked him the last time he landed a 250 lb. blue? I told him you would need a backhoe to land it
Definitely with the stingray catch and cook
Great video. Where do you get the color floats on your rigs? Thanks!
Lovin your channel man, one of the best!!! I am going to be in Alabama next week and will have a few days to wet some lines. Any recommendations on spots to fish?
I liked your video. Learned alot. And you seem like a good dude
Whenever you catch sand fleas find a spot that is kind of protected from the waves but still has water moving over it. Like behind one of the pilings
Do the stingray catch cook clean
Would love to see a ray catch and cook!
The best cut bait I've ever seen was Robin fish, bloody, tough, and lasts a long time.
I was there for the first time ever earlier this month, didn't catch much while there but enjoyed our stay.
In Australia we call blue fish Tailor, those are a good size...
Yeah!!! Stingray catch and cook
You know we gotta see that ray catch and cook
for sure! Working on it this year !
We caught everything from cats , to whiting and spades on the pier on cut mullet Saturday night !
Smoked stingray fish tacos are amazing.
