Steve, I thank you for all the great videos and fishing info. I am up here in the cold wet eastern shore of Delaware and I am just living the warm fishing of the Keys through you. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
That reel sounds like one of the old hand crank mixers. Better get some lube on those bearings. Great video. I’m envious because I won’t see weather like that for another 5 or 6 months.
After losing the first four fish to sharks, I would have gone to plan B, Steve. You know what they say about people who repeat the action and expect a different result.
@keywestkayakfishing you should modify your reel by putting a bigger handle on it, it’ll give you more leverage especially since you can’t leverage with your legs as much from the yak. I’ve done this to a lot of my offshore reels. Hope it’ll help you land more fish!
Always really enjoy your "vertical jigging the wrecks" videos. The sharks are a pain in the butt, however the battles are epic! That is how I caught my biggest Blackfins in the past, but the sharks are worse now. Thanks Steve.
Question - have you ever been harassed by a BIG shark around your boat - a Tiger shark - or even bigger ? We watched a video of a Great White in Florida Keys waters.
Wheeew !!! Close call with the rod. Lol. My arms were hurting just watching you keep dropping down. AATB rod leaches ? Lol...great vid as usual Steve .
Thank you so much for all the great content. But seriously do you have a plan if that kayak springs a leak and it goes under? You should change your name to extreme key west kayak fishing because this is so crazy what you are doing.......and its just another day for you.
The water was almost same level as sides, it just looked too dangerous to be that far out in those conditions,the life jacket will just make it easier for the big tiger sharks to eat you!! after they chew your kayak apart and you sink, you know the tiger sharks will eat anything !! i am buying a nu canoe kayak rated at 500lbs with 39inch beam and motor ready for 2.5 honda. but i will not go past the reef. Stay safe please. pete.
That spinning reel there at the end has got some bad bearings in it. Easily can hear it when u r reeling. Might want to get that one into the shop before she bows up!!! Get yourself a big Shimano Stradic😎
looks like vertical jigging is replacing live bait. I now see a lot of videos on the web where this has become a HUGE thing! Might be something to look into for the future as we all know it works! All about the bait might just be All about the JIGS! In the future that is. LOL
Always fun to watch your video. Thx for sharing
Beautiful sunset!
It was stressing me out at 10:30 watching that plano box teeter on the edge of falling in with the sharks.
Wow that's awesome fishing. 👍
Awesome video awesome life
That's tough jigging sitting down in a kayak ...nice going !
LOVE your deep water reef videos man! Those always get the heart pumping! Well done on that tuna!
Tuna catch n cook

I think you need to invest in the shark shield device. It would be worth it for you.

That spinning reel sounded terrible! Time for maintenance for sure!
"I don't know what I'm doing."
Me with my entire life.
Those sharks have a tracking device on your boat with a dinner bell alarm 😂
what size kind of hook you used? and what baits?

12:40 sounds like that reel needs a little grease.
looks like you were sinking
Yes, it did look pretty low in the water at the back.
How many lures have u lost lol
Oh Yeah.... Great Video
I hope he kept the tuna. He earned it! :D
I'm always impressed by your ripping stamina Steve. You crank like a champ man! Love your vids, big love from the UK.
Nice battle with nice fish.
Beeeeaaaauuuuutifuuul Day in the Florida Keys. Make it up Steve, avoid the toothy critters!
Dang that older shimano torium sounds like it needs that dog /anti reverse upgrade.
That horizon was making ME seasick!
Keep pumping it out!!! Ice that shoulder...😎 SQUIRREL
It may be time to put your old shimano torium out to pasture. Get something with a bit more power.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Go go gadget GoPro excellent

"You're tired????"....Psk, You wore me out watching you on this video...shoot. I needed to pour myself a drink after watching you.

Seem like we weren't getting any of your hat gopro footage
Too bad there isn't a camera we could drop down to see how stirred up the sharks get at the wrecks and reefs
Just when you think it's safe to turn off the video.
