Literally love seeing you, your wife and friends all coming together, doing what you all enjoy. The moment with the little boy fishing was so beautiful 🥺
When rob went to go take a pic with the bonefish and the kid, the fish touched the kids mouth and he quickly turns around, gags and spits and that has to be the funniest thing I’ve seen on this channel 🤣😭😭
You are everything I aspire to be. Faith, Family, and Fun is was I was raised on and what you are spreading to everyone with your videos. It brings me so much joy and hope to see you doing what you do, and the effect you are having on those who you are surrounded by. Keep on working hard, and God bless!!
From one lady to another - I’m so proud of Deermom! She’s worked hard to shed that back-to-back baby weight and looks fantastic! Baby weight is so stubborn and takes twice the effort to lose. 💯👍🏼
Rob mate! Incredible..can't believe what we just watched. Cutting it close there, flash backs of our beloved Steve. Take care out there. Truly inspired.
This family makes me feel so wholesome and motivated to have a family of mine some day. Thank Rob, been a subscriber since you had less than 100k followers and still watch the videos every post!!
love how family oriented your channel is brother always makes me appreciate the ones i love around me alittle extra. as a father and husband i hope i can be even half of the man you are for your family. keep killing it
Watching the oassion and determination that you, Robert have is inspiring. Also knowing that you and your brother Gabe are both true, southern, country men shows the world what men of character are.
Great video. This is the first time I've seen such a fishing trip. It was wonderful. The huge stingray did not give up so easily, but it was still caught.
Robs Videos were the only thing keeping me sane during the snow in here in Texas. One of my favorite TH-camrs because you can see that he loves what he does and loves to always give back to those that need it! Sending you and your family nothing but blessings this year Rob!
Rob that was insane! I know you’re very capable of being a wild man, but JEEZ!!! You have a family to make it back to! Stay safe my man, and God bless!
This is my favorite show now. Great guy, great Family, Thanks for sharing your adventures. Will be following your show. Love the way you guys cooked the stingray with coconut. Delicious...
Robert your channel has really came far from the start I have been watching your content for four years and I just wanted you to know I learn all of the recipes and ways to prep a fish, deer,boar,anything you’ve got me covered your doing great brother
Caught my first ray today with my 3-year old. Soon as we got to the house, we watched this video!! Didn’t clean and cook because I was afraid to waste, next time for sure!! Big fan Robert!!
We call that “working for your dinner.” I’ve never seen anyone put this much effort into to catching a fish before, awesome! If you ever need a Chef to help out with any meals you let me know. Wow, just wow, man!
It`s always a pleasure watching this fellow catching amazing fish and then enjoying the catch with his family. May God bless him and his family always.
@BiologyOutdoors tell me exactly what southern pride you have. Because showing deer hunting photos is something people do all over the world, that’s not a southern pride thing😂😂 don’t hop on here acting like you know what southern pride is when you weren’t even alive during 9/11. 🍼👶🏼
Say Amigo, you have a wonderful personality and great looking family. Some people claim that Sting Rays are trash fish, but you know how to make a meal great! Happy New Year to you and yours.
With all the craziness in the world, your videos are like a vacation for my mind. Thank you for taking us along in your adventures and sharing the happiness. You and your family are beautiful. God bless.
Jumping in the water with a sting ray just to land him, wife chasing it down with a jet ski. Now that’s dedication on a new level right there! And fishing with a random little kid. What amazing people❤️ It’s impossible not to love Robert and his family, for many many reasons. If you’re frustrated with this world just watch deer meat for dinner. That’ll help you out
I’ve been watching you since you were a little TH-camr and to see you grow and put out amazing content like this is just amazing keep up the good work!!
This dude is living the dream in paradise.. no wonder everyone hates on Florida, they're just jealous. Beautiful family, deer, hogs, gators, fish, and scenery.
Thank you for your content. Times are pretty rough and this keeps my mind off of it. I worry soon I won't be able to afford to watch at least for a while. Hours are getting cut at work and the price of living is getting steep. But that's life I guess. I appreciate it now and I'm definitely enjoying the content
Dude... Lol... Dude!!! You jumped into the water!!!! I'ma need a mask!!! That was EPIC!!! That sandbar looks like the Caribbean but... This is AWESOME!!!
I’ve been stung by a stingray and it’s my reference 9.5 on the pain scale. We have an agreement now, I don’t mess with them and they don’t mess with me. You finally found something I wouldn’t do, you badass! Awesome catch, great clean, nice cook!
I was getting concerned because all I could think was, “isn’t this how Steve Irwin died?” Be careful RA! You already run around shoeless in the land of snakes😀
We call them "Country" feet...I live in NW GA and whenever the outside temps are around 65-70 I start walking around sans shoes outside...I can walk barefoot across the road or down the street without too much trouble...and my lower back loves me since we ain't built for most shoes physiologically 😉
Awesome family and surroundings ! you are truly Blessed. Watching yall brings back so many memories. Myself getting old here in Texas with the wife , grew up in S Florida only to leave in the 90s...hunted and caught just about all from Labelle to the keys often with Great Guide Steve Ambrose on the Mcdaniels ranch mingling in the early days with Roland Martin and the likes ! again your videos are superb, no matter the location.... Enjoy.....life is way too short.
One way you got this giant stingray is you did not waver you stayed committed with great tenacity and determination you did not give up and quit because you are the highest quality of mankind one of them

That stingray menu would have been better and more palatable if you laced it with 5 or 6 pieces of diced Capsicum frutescens, or small, red chilli pepper or Tabasco peppers (siling labuyo, as we call them locally). Happy eating! 🍻🍽🍲
Talk about being gassed I swear he almost said I feel like I'm gonna pass out that was nutz those island helpers were like you crazy Steve Erwin rip to the greatest
It took three humans, modern tackle, Snorkel gear, a Gaf, a Speargun and a Jet Ski to land this magnificent creature. Respect to the Stingray.
Your absolutely right . Doesn’t help he tried catching it in on a brim buster
No matter the technology nature always has the advantage.
That stingray is a gangster

I can't help but think of irwin while he's doing this I catch them use them for shark bait but those spines hurt just a tiny cut stings like hell
@@brentvanwie1961 had the same thought. Steve Irwin. That’s some scary stuff
More like hold my deer
@@vviiss or hold my Everglades.
AT 17:20 there’s a SHARK swimming by while Robert was cleaning the stingray! It’s right above his head! Blessed to not be bitten! Great video!
I was thinking what if a shark suddenly appeared while he was washing the stingray in the water and you spotted it.

Good eye
Super good catch!
Rob definitely didn’t notice, good catch
Shit your right
That little kid spitting after the fish got in his mouth is just hilarious!
This family makes me feel so wholesome and motivated to have a family of mine some day. Thank Rob, been a subscriber since you had less than 100k followers and still watch the videos every post!!
Me too
WTF???
This was one of the best episodes ever. What a hunt
No cap
Yee bro got off 2k to do this lmao
I was gonna say they way he fought the stingray it was like a action movie lol
Anyone knows where’s he’s at? I’ll love to
Go on a vacation there
@@bobthebuilder8223 he said Nassau at 18:30 that place is beautiful ngl
This guy reminds me of my Dad. There's nothing he can't catch and cook lol. Perfect, keep it up
My dad would cook the bait if we did not catch. Spirring became smelts all of a sudden. ;)
he didn't cook that - that asian guy did. white guy did all the talking though
@@derpherpp did the guy being white upset you?

Rob: "Its tail can gash your leg off"
Also Rob: *Jumps in water to catch it
He is a trained professional. LOL
So was Steve Irwin
I mean, he was looking good just standing on the sandbar, but when the stingray made off with the gaff and Robert starting swimming with it? Yeah, no.
Yeah I thought “what was he thinking?” Because I remember Steve Irwin...
Great to see people having joy in their lives with family and friends. Praying for you all!
Laughed so hard at the fish getting the kids mouth and him spitting it out 😂🤣😂🤣😂
I thought the same thing! His smile went to pure panic as the fish hit his face and mouth :)
Watching the oassion and determination that you, Robert have is inspiring.

The thing i like most about you man , you always stay with whole family , Its not like just you couple kids. Amazing man
I couldn’t believe how much meat was on that ray! But you’re a certified maniac, rob.
Great video. This is the first time I've seen such a fishing trip. It was wonderful. The huge stingray did not give up so easily, but it was still caught.

Anyone else rooting for the ray in this ? That guy put up a hell of a fight and it took 5 people, 2 jet skis, and a spear to bring him down.

Legend has it he’s still waiting for that high five to this day
Straight up took little man's catch and threw it back out
Factz
Anybody else just repeating "Remember Steve Irwin!" over and over in their head the entire time he's in the water?
This one's for Steve 🍻
Yeah yeah.. 😂😂😂
YyEe$s!!! ...cause he used to wrestle giant crocs!!!
I was just saying "he titled it wrong. It should say "Rob tries to meet Steve Irwin!"
I thought that
Not only is it fun but at the end of the day its about family... Love ur channel ....
This was a great video! I too, felt the same excitement that was flowing through everyone there. Stay safe!
That rod, line, leader, and knot were the MVP of this video
Caught my first ray today with my 3-year old. Soon as we got to the house, we watched this video!! Didn’t clean and cook because I was afraid to waste, next time for sure!! Big fan Robert!!
I knew right off the bat that was going to be a battle when the ray took off under those docks! Great vid!!
The name of this episode should be...
“Epic Fishing Battle”
This was amazing
As a Singaporean, you should try a recipe called Sambal BBQ Stingray. The recipe is super simple but very very delicious. Life changer.
