Just ignore the idiots. In real life if they saw you they won’t hit you, they would ask for a picture with you. Then they would go home put on their Rambo head ban put some camp on and go online and threaten people! Just block the Rambo’s
Hi Heiko, I know this is an old video but just wanted to tell you, if you ever do the tuna salad again a bit of dijon mustard instead of so much mayo and a teaspoon of paprika. Its a game changer if doing it for sandwich. Also, now that you have green onions in your yard add a bit for that freshness. Good luck and I'm keeping up with your videos, they are super enjoyable.
Thank you everyone for sticking with me these past 6 years through my highs, lows and sometimes just straight up confusing moments. I can't wait to see what the next years bring! I want to hit 1 million youtube subscribers SO BAD! Help me get there by hitting that like button and leaving a comment
The difference between a pro and an amateur is a pro has made more mistakes and learned from it than an amateur has. Luv your videos because you are real.
Thanks for posting Heiko!! Don’t let the grumps get you down! So many of us live vicariously through your videos, we get to come be in the keys with you for a little and that’s big!
Welcome back Heiko! We’ve been really missing your fishing/catch n cook vids. Keep ‘em coming and screw the haters! Don’t let them get to you and just feel sorry for them that their life is that miserable they are compelled to post hateful/hurtful comments over a fish’s identification or misidentification. That is just sad. Anyways tight lines to you bud! We’ll be waiting for the next one to drop
Dude, no matter what you do or say someone is always gonna find a reason to bitch. I actually checked Dan's channel because I was worried something happened to you. Bro, you make vids about fishing and cooking. There's no reason to get uptight over that. Just enjoy your time on the planet. I used to live in Venetian Shores in Islamorada. I had a boat before a car and used to run around Snake Creek and the Mangroves. I can't tell you how much I miss it. I would ride my bike to Holiday Isle and get fish remains and use them for shark and lobster at night in the canal. Don't take a day for granted as your in a truly beautiful place. Glad you're back!
Man the reason I started watching your videos a couple years ago was because of the excitement and enthusiasm with every catch. I, and I'm sure many others, enjoy the fact that you are a regular guy that enjoys fishing and it's more real than watching professional fishermen. Keep doing what you're doing! You are pretty much the only channel that I have bought merch and tackle/seasoning from, and that is because of the genuine joy you have while filming and we have while watching!
OMG, you're back! Praise the Lord. You are the best. (and Capt. Dan too) Ignore the crazy people out there! Keep going FORWARD and keep the beer on ice. I commented before, I'm in Michigan and some day will be driving the RV (1972 w/200,000 miles on her) to Florida. Bringing the 3 X-wives, 2 dogs, a monkey too. Keep the beer on ice!
I can't believe how low class and vulgar calling you names! You are refreshing,. A breath of fresh air. Don't listen to the haters, it just means your getting famous! Yeehaw and carry on!
Glad your back, yours was one of the first RUclips channels we stated watching, (we're old enough to be your parents) and we love to watch your true joy of enjoying what you do! we really love your reciepes also! Keep On!!!
You only took a break from RUclips didn't you Heiko? Heck I watch your videos for the cooking as much as I do the fishing! Thanks so much man I really enjoy your channel 👍
You know I love you man! I have a feeling that I know what has been going on... Life is a road that you're just constantly walking along with your arms full, picking stuff up along the way while dropping crap behind you, we're not always ready to walk away from the stuff that slips out of our hands, but if it were meant to be we'd still be carrying it, the important part is that we keep moving, picking up more stuff as we go. Do what feels right and you'll rarely regret your decisions.
Heiko when I started following your channel three years ago, I did so because you were your own person. I enjoyed your videos, you had a unique perspective, and I loved hearing you say “Fish On, Fish On!”. The only advice I can give you is to continue being who are! Opinions are a dime a dozen. Live your life!
This is a very informative video. You have an entertaining personality and I really like your style. I know editing videos is nearly a full time job in itself, however, your channel bring together so many good people that appreciate your work/fun it would be a real shame to loose you. Thank you for producing these videos.
Heiko, we love your channel!!! My wife and I live in Missouri and love to travel to the Keys. You and Caitlyn are great to watch and you make us laugh and miss the Keys. I have been learning how to fish the ocean by myself when we go down there and have learned a lot from you. Don’t ever quit your channel.
I've been watching for about 4 years now. I am a huge fan and look forward to every video. You can't please everyone, so don't take the dumb comments personally. You have so many fans life myself and we are all supporting you and rooting for you. Keep it up I know you can hit 1M!
Heiko!!!! My wife and I just wanted to let you know that your videos are what kept us going through the past few years of not being able to get down to the Keys for our spring vacation to fish each year! You make awesome, fun, hilarious content so just keep being you! Here's to hoping that wind can calm down a bit for you so you can get some much needed time on the water to enjoy yourself and clear your mind my friend. Peace and love!
Forgot to mention. We watch you because you make us want to try harder to enjoy our best life. That's what you're doing and we love how you mess up and can laugh about it. You're in our hearts and we'll follow you wherever you go. Got your back too. If I see you in Publix I'll yell hello from afar so you know it's a friend not a back stabbing , face punching foe. Love ya.
Hey Heiko, my wife and I watch all your videos. It’s great to have you back! There will always be people on the world trying to bring you down, you gotta try to ignore them! As long as you are having fun and doing what you love, that’s all that matters. Keep doing you bro!
Heiko you live a life that many in the outside world would love to have. Thanks for being a positive human and sharing your adventures with the rest of us. Some of us live thru your videos. I follow you and several others including capt Dan. I actually won a fishing reel from him last week. For those of us who only get to dream about what you live daily we thank you for being who you are and true to yourself. Keep on keeping on. We love it
Our family has been watching for years and love your videos! Keep up the good work and hoping all the positive comments will outweigh the negative ones. Hang in there through this latest "wave" in life and changes happening....life goes up and down but will always come back up to the happier side eventually - sometimes you just gotta hang on and ride the wave.
Wow I'm sorry for your loss Heiko. It's tough letting go of someone we really care about, I'm sure you did your best bud. If it was meant to be, it will be. Love your channel, keep up the good work.
Heiko my brother, you are living the dream. I'm sure you have more than your fair share of stress to contend with but keep doing you and enjoy it! Life is short, and you can't waste time worrying about what others think. I have been following you for a while now and love the content you put out. You even inspired me to go out and buy a 1975 21-foot Wellcraft cuddy cabin. I completely rebuilt her from the keel up and converted it into a center console in the process. My family and I love spending time on it up here in the northern Chesapeake Bay fishing for Strippers. Love the channel and look forward to watching many more of your adventures.
Heiko, I appreciate all the hard work you put into every video you make! I’ve been watching you for probably 5 or so years now and every video you put out makes me feel like I’m down in the keys with you. You don’t know how much joy you’ve brought to my life and so many other of your fans. You’ve been through so many ups and downs and it’s been a pleasure to watch and try and learn from everything you’ve accomplished and worked so hard for. Love ya bro stay strong and keep pushin ✊🏼
A little late on the support, but my dad and I have been watching your videos since very very early on. You’ve influenced the last 11 trips throughout the years renting a boat and self guiding ourselves through the keys. The south Florida fishing weedless squid rigs, mutton rigs, and yellow tail jigs have brought us many many years of success and joy (as well as our first black fin last year!!). I would love to share some pictures and some beers next time we’re down in Florida. All the best wishes, keep your lines tight
Love the vids man. Just keep being you. Whether it’s three a week or three a month, I enjoy them and never frustrated with no seeing more. Who are we to demand anything. Although, it might help your subscriptions to increase because of the YT overloads. Wish I was living that island life!
I love that you are fallable and are willing to own it. Your videos are much more realistic than other fishing shows where they clip days together to make it look like they are crushing it on a single trip. Keep being you and stay genuine.
Let me start off by saying I really enjoy you videos. They are authentic and real. You show the good and bad. There are no fishermen out there that know everything. Ignoring the trolls and keep having fun. If you keep having fun you will continue to have great content. I started a channel in 2020 because of you and a very short list of others. I have some understanding of what you go through but on a much smaller scale. You are doing great!
Bro as a content creator I feel what you are saying. Especially when you see less quality content get pushed a loads of views. My family and I love your channel and have watched almost every single video you have ever uploaded. I’ve been watching your videos since the key largo condo days! Keep your head up bro.
Heiko, so glad that you’re doing ok and that you’re back baby!!! It sucks that so many people walk this earth that can’t find the good in anything. Just remember, you’re a freakin beast on the water and life is good.
These videos are so amazing to watch Heiko! You are doing it right! Life gave you lemons and so you made a tuna sandwich! The view from your home is breathtaking. My grandfather who passed away lived in Florida and took us fishing. Watching your videos allow me to relive those times a little bit. You've got this dude!
Glad you’re back man! I really enjoyed watching your early videos, like catching your first sword fish solo. You were so excited it sounded like you couldn’t catch your breath. That raw content is the best type on RUclips. So I really hope you keep it when you hit 1 mil! Thanks for taking us with you on your escapades.
Man, I don’t know where to begin. Most people have no idea what it takes to do what your doing. You are putting everything in your life out there for the world to see. That takes a courage 99% of these key board pros will never have. Thank you for all the great videos. You are a rare breed. You aren’t a pro, you don’t claim to be anything other than what you are. A man trying to have fun in life and catch some fish. Haters have empty souls and can only find happiness by bringing down people who are truly happy and live life to the fullest. I appreciate all that you do man, keep up the good work. I look forward to seeing many more great videos. I believe you’ll hit that one million mark a lot sooner than you think.
Heiko, keep doing what you do! You have no idea how many people enjoy watching and how much you have been missed. People come into our lives and later leave, even those most dear to us. It hurts but is part of the tragic comedy that is life. Be encouraged my brother!
Thanks for the info man. Up till this video just considered bonito as a good fun fight and cut bait after in boat. I will definitely give this a go myself. Honestly thanks for keepin' it real for us newbs. After all a bad day on the water is good for stories and a great day is what we live for.
Hey just want to say I love your videos. I started watching 4 yrs ago when I was about to go to Key Largo for the first time and have been a fan ever since. I rented a boat and wanted to learn how to fish the reefs on my own with my wife and 2 sons. I had no idea what the hell I was doing but learned a lot from your videos. We caught a few fish...very few...but had a great time trying to figure it out thanks to you. I loved the fact that you did not come across as some expert fisherman that just knows everything and are just a regular guy that wants to catch whatever is biting.We have been trying to take a trip back down there the last couple of years but the crazy world has put that on hold. Hopefully next winter we will be back. Dont let the trolls out there get to you.You will never be able to escape them when you put yourself out there as you do. Some people just like to bitch at everyone while they sit in there house on there computer and never try anything themselves. Just know that your videos make a difference to a lot of people but the people with the biggest mouths get heard the most. Shake it off and keep doing what ypu love. Other people love it too.
Great to see you back, doing what you enjoy and what we the viewers enjoy watching. We all have good days and bad days, that's fishing, if we went out catching the big fish all of the time, we would get fed up, for me it's about the sport and having a great day and time, whatever the weather whatever you catch, it's the way fishing goes, I've been sea angling for 38 years over here in the UK 🇬🇧. Out on the charter boats, there is nothing worse than other anglers belittling anglers, the so called know all of the sport. I've never had time for these people, we are anglers and we are all in the same boat 🛥 so to speak ( no pun intended) we all make mistakes, and why, because we are not perfect, remember a bad day's fishing will always beat a good day at work. Keep your chin up matey, and keep us entertained with your vids. Tight lines bud. 👍 👍 👍
Glad to see your back. We all need a break every now and then. Always take the time to take care of yourself. I always liked the early videos your were a nut. Keep safe bro.
Dude screw those other people! Your amazing! Keep doing you and only you! I honestly look forward to every video! Love ya man and stay healthy! Much love from Ohio! Stay strong brother! Wish I could do what you do!
Keep your head up bro. I hear what your saying it would get to me too. You have alot to offer so hear the good too. We love how you have put yourself out there over the years. God bless you both and keep on truckin
Did anyone notice the closing now says “I love you all”- this has changed from “we love you all” and the music is different- and I didn’t see Katelyn? Something feels like the break, was due to something else.
I finally understand the expression "You do you!" Congratulations on figuring out that it doesn't matter what other people think of you! It took me the better part of 50 years to finally understand that point. You are a great guy - stay true to yourself! Peace, Will
Keep it up dude. I like the raw nature of your videos how I can just watch a guy go fuel his boat and pick up some chum then hit the water and have fun, I feel invested in the trip and it feels like every catch is exciting. About the haters, unfortunately haters will always exist and they seem like the loud minority, I don't understand why if the videos cause them so much anger, they continue to watch and feel the need to bring everyone down with them. I also think the comment section will usually be loaded with people correcting and judging because the majority who enjoyed the video just hit the like button and move on instead of leaving a comment. So to you it would seem like every comment is just negative and I can see that bringing anyone down. Just know that the majority of us here enjoy your videos and appreciate them.
@@SouthFloridaFishingChannel yeah brotha forget all that noise! Like in business...you can't please everyone! Always stick to your mission statement and that's how you become successful. Stay happy out there!
Hey man I am a firefighter and got hurt on duty. I found your channel and binge watched it while I was recovering from surgery. You make great content and I love your videos, I’ve been bummed not seeing your videos and I’m glad you are back. I’m moving to Florida in august maybe I’ll run into, promise no punches lol.
Don't worry about the bad comments I am following your channel from a long time you are a good person just shake your head and get rid of all negative thinking .say thanks to Lord you have blessings in your life by Grace of Good keep working as you do always . God bless you heiko bro take care of yourself
That’s it Heiko, we love you for you not cause you’re the best fisherman on You Tube. Keep it up Bro and by the way I do the same thing with Bonita. Killer isn’t it!
Great video Heiko. I enjoyed fully. Those Bonitos are underrated they are an amazing fight and taking all the blood line off and eating them fresh not bad at all. Never had the pickled stuff I like the idea too. Man haters will be haters for what ever reason. Like you said thank for the View and don't break phone or mouse on the no like 😅🤣😆🤜🤛 you have our support on that Million subscribers BOOM
Dude don’t give up on your goal of 1 million, been watching pretty much since the start . I just wanna say life will go on and change is good. Your favorite videos of mine are the ones where you are having fun with your friends. You and your boys partying, having fun and living the dream . Stay strong brother we’ve all been through what your going through now . They come and go . Screw the haters ✌🏻
I love watching you fish and always look forward to seeing your next video keep doing what your doing and if someone wants to hurt you and im around, I got your back 😎
Don't let the trolls get to you. You are adorable, funny & very entertaining ❤️. You keep my spirits up all winter long up here in Michigan until we can put our boat back in the water & start catching our own fish again. Keep doing what you're doing & be yourself because you are fantastic & don't ever forget that!
Watched every video since the beginning. You’re the best because you’re real and not scripted like “the pros”.. nothing against them but we can relate to you. I can only get down to key largo once a year at most so keep up the great work!!!… we’re living our keys life through you!
I really like your videos, the early ones were popular because you were down to earth , the good fishing and the mistakes you put them all out there , and explained how you were fishing, keep your chin up and don't sweat the morons that complain
lol, great day, but I know that feeling well, drop your coffee, lose a knife, few other minor details I'm sure happened. Just one of those days you persevere through and make it a day to remember with your bud. Always love your content and look forward to the next. PS, email me one of those tuna sammich's please !!!!
Nah man we love you and your content. I'm on a mission to watch all of your videos and I'm more than half way through. I would love to go on a fishing trip with you and I'll be in key largo June 5th through the 11th and I'm bringing my boat down there. Stay strong my man.
I've been watching your channel from below 1000 subs from when I was down on vacation down there. I've switched my channel name several times since then. You have a great channel and personality
Heiki, Keep on doing what you do. Your passion and enthusiasm for fishing is what makes your video's worth watching. Keep networking, learning as much as possible everytime you venture out on the water and you will become a better fisherman. Set your goals and keep living the dream!
I’m definitely a OG 🤙🏼 you where one of the guys who motivated me to start me own power boating channel. Keep your head up man there’s plenty of fish to catch & release 😉
Yea I did, but I didn't upload for about 2 months before that. Was a nice break but I'm ready to get back to it! Miss reading comments and putting out content
Hey Heiko, love the vids as always especially the streams you've been doing. Took a glance at some older videos and found this, funny how you aren't happy about the price of gas at the time of filming but imagine now, crazy how things can change so quickly.
Thanks for making the videos. I always enjoy watching. Every day is a gift! I think one of the best moments of this video was when you walk out onto the deck and enjoy the view!
You'r never going to know the ripple effect you have had on our lives!! We started watching your videos 3 years ago, we even contacted you to build our website (WHICH TRIPLED OUR BUSINESS), we even freakin packed up our bags and moved to Florida. We bought a fishing boat because of YOU! You gave us confidence and showed us the way to navigate this. YOU DUDE! We want to thank you Heiko for showing us what life could be. Playful, fun, spear fishing w/our family, boating and fishing and enjoying life. We took your examples and made it a reality for us and that YOU SHOULD BE PROUD OF AND HUMBLED BY.. THANK YOU HEIKO FOR ALL YOU DO AND WHO YOU ARE, DON'T EVER CHANGE FOR ANYBODY ELSE, YOU ROCK.. WE LOVE YOU-ALL OF US!! Keep on living your dreams, get up every morning and ROCK YOUR WORLD NO MATTER WHAT.
Man I rarely comment on videos but had to, as others said someone is always going to find something to gripe about. I love your videos because you are real and don’t edit out all the mistakes. I have learned a lot about saltwater fishing from you, as I have only been going for a few years now. Keep being you and you will hit your goal!!!
Happy to see you back Heiko i love watching your video's because they all show your personality and have there own uniqueness too them there are only some you tube channels that i look forward to watching the video's and yours is one of them .take care and keep the video's coming please and thank you
Love you’re videos bro. Just keep doing your thing. Try not to let the haters get you down. 99.9% of us love your content. I laugh and love when you get excited when fish are flying in the boat, especially when you are enjoying some beer. Keep the great videos coming bro.
No one watching these vids have a pen and paper out expecting world class fishing knowledge to be bestowed to them. Your vids are like what it’s like goin out with your buddies where something is alway left at the dock but you hope for the best. And that’s why people keep watching. You’re on point more than 95% of rec anglers. Keep it up. The content is great.
Thanks for the video. I really enjoy watching. The cooking portion is becoming my favoite. Love watchin & learning. keep video's coming. Thank you for what you do.
Heiko, You have been missed. I recently found your channel and have been looking every couple days for the last few months for a new upload. Thankfully for me all your content including the stuff from 3+ years ago is amazing. I feel like I've found a great new series to binge on. I live in Michigan and come down to the keys a couple times a year to get my fix. I'm not into hiring charters as I like to have a real authentic experience and learn myself. Your videos have been incredibly helpful in cutting the learning curve of ocean fishing. Your explanations and enthusiasm for fishing is awesome. Don't let the internet trolls get to you brother. There's some really unhappy peoplein this world who love to put people down to feel better about themselves. On a side note I found your explanation about distinguishing between a king and cero super helpful. As a novice ocean fisherman I struggle to tell the difference between the grouper types and Bonita vs. Tuna. Might be cool if you did a couple videos on distinguishing between species of fish. Tight lines Brotha!
Welcome back. Missed your videos. I moved to Florida recently and finally got a boat. Can’t wait to start fishing offshore and catch all these fish I grew up watching on TV. I love your “I’m just out here having fun an figuring out this fishing thing” type attitude. I hope to one day meet you, hopefully see you out on the water when we make it down to the keys. Our home port is Fort Pierce and Stuart inlets. If you ever wanted to do a subscriber fishing video, I’d bring my boat down and you could shows us the basics. Keep the videos coming. Cheers.
Heiko, I've been watching your channel since 15k and have loved every video you've posted, and any hate comments you get ignore them and keep doing what your doing.
As a Floridian and lifetime angler that either chucked bonito back or converted into bait strips.... just wanted to say thanks bud for introducing how to prepare and enjoy bonito. Bang up job buddy!
When I lived in San Diego as a kid we caught Bonita my dad would Flay them flower salt and pepper and fry them then he would put them in a plate fry a bunch of onions until they were caramelized put the Flay's back on the onions sprinkle red wine vinegar all over it and put a lid on it and let it sit there about 10 minutes maybe sprinkle a little more red wine vinegar and let it sit five minutes more then we would eat it with Italian bread it was delicious what you did look awesome you rock my friend.

Another great video !!!
Hi Heiko, I know this is an old video but just wanted to tell you, if you ever do the tuna salad again a bit of dijon mustard instead of so much mayo and a teaspoon of paprika. Its a game changer if doing it for sandwich. Also, now that you have green onions in your yard add a bit for that freshness. Good luck and I'm keeping up with your videos, they are super enjoyable.

Always brother
I was dry heaving and crying laughing, of course it is great to see ya, we love you, have a great day brother.
Has it been 6yrs?! Damn i guess it has.. time flies when watching good videos 🤙🤙
The difference between a pro and an amateur is a pro has made more mistakes and learned from it than an amateur has. Luv your videos because you are real.
There’s honestly no definitive way to fish. I believe we each have our own ways that we’ve learned and tweaked from others
Agreed,
Thanks for posting Heiko!! Don’t let the grumps get you down! So many of us live vicariously through your videos, we get to come be in the keys with you for a little and that’s big!

You only took a break from RUclips didn't you Heiko?
Heck I watch your videos for the cooking as much as I do the fishing! Thanks so much man I really enjoy your channel 👍
Heiko, yours is the first video I search for every day. So sad when I don't find one. Happy to see you fishing again. We'll be here always.
Thanks marge! They will start flowing =)
Same!! Alway looking for a fun video from this Dude.. Keep up the good work Heiko.
Same!
You know I love you man! I have a feeling that I know what has been going on... Life is a road that you're just constantly walking along with your arms full, picking stuff up along the way while dropping crap behind you, we're not always ready to walk away from the stuff that slips out of our hands, but if it were meant to be we'd still be carrying it, the important part is that we keep moving, picking up more stuff as we go.

Hey Heiko, my wife and I watch all your videos. It’s great to have you back! There will always be people on the world trying to bring you down, you gotta try to ignore them!
As long as you are having fun and doing what you love, that’s all that matters. Keep doing you bro!
Heiko you live a life that many in the outside world would love to have. Thanks for being a positive human and sharing your adventures with the rest of us. Some of us live thru your videos. I follow you and several others including capt Dan. I actually won a fishing reel from him last week. For those of us who only get to dream about what you live daily we thank you for being who you are and true to yourself. Keep on keeping on. We love it
Our family has been watching for years and love your videos! Keep up the good work and hoping all the positive comments will outweigh the negative ones. Hang in there through this latest "wave" in life and changes happening....life goes up and down but will always come back up to the happier side eventually - sometimes you just gotta hang on and ride the wave.
Wow I'm sorry for your loss Heiko. It's tough letting go of someone we really care about, I'm sure you did your best bud. If it was meant to be, it will be. Love your channel, keep up the good work.
Awe I seriously feel like giving you a hug. Sorry you’ve been going through so much crap. Forget the haters and do you!
Hey Dude,
My wife loves that you don’t just fry everything and you try new methods of preparation all the time. Love your show and F them haters!
Heiko my brother, you are living the dream. I'm sure you have more than your fair share of stress to contend with but keep doing you and enjoy it! Life is short, and you can't waste time worrying about what others think. I have been following you for a while now and love the content you put out. You even inspired me to go out and buy a 1975 21-foot Wellcraft cuddy cabin. I completely rebuilt her from the keel up and converted it into a center console in the process. My family and I love spending time on it up here in the northern Chesapeake Bay fishing for Strippers. Love the channel and look forward to watching many more of your adventures.
Heiko, I appreciate all the hard work you put into every video you make! I’ve been watching you for probably 5 or so years now and every video you put out makes me feel like I’m down in the keys with you. You don’t know how much joy you’ve brought to my life and so many other of your fans. You’ve been through so many ups and downs and it’s been a pleasure to watch and try and learn from everything you’ve accomplished and worked so hard for. Love ya bro stay strong and keep pushin ✊🏼
A little late on the support, but my dad and I have been watching your videos since very very early on. You’ve influenced the last 11 trips throughout the years renting a boat and self guiding ourselves through the keys. The south Florida fishing weedless squid rigs, mutton rigs, and yellow tail jigs have brought us many many years of success and joy (as well as our first black fin last year!!). I would love to share some pictures and some beers next time we’re down in Florida. All the best wishes, keep your lines tight
Love the vids man. Just keep being you. Whether it’s three a week or three a month, I enjoy them and never frustrated with no seeing more. Who are we to demand anything. Although, it might help your subscriptions to increase because of the YT overloads. Wish I was living that island life!
I love that you are fallable and are willing to own it. Your videos are much more realistic than other fishing shows where they clip days together to make it look like they are crushing it on a single trip. Keep being you and stay genuine.
Let me start off by saying I really enjoy you videos. They are authentic and real. You show the good and bad. There are no fishermen out there that know everything. Ignoring the trolls and keep having fun. If you keep having fun you will continue to have great content. I started a channel in 2020 because of you and a very short list of others. I have some understanding of what you go through but on a much smaller scale. You are doing great!
Bro as a content creator I feel what you are saying. Especially when you see less quality content get pushed a loads of views. My family and I love your channel and have watched almost every single video you have ever uploaded. I’ve been watching your videos since the key largo condo days! Keep your head up bro.
Heiko, so glad that you’re doing ok and that you’re back baby!!! It sucks that so many people walk this earth that can’t find the good in anything. Just remember, you’re a freakin beast on the water and life is good.
These videos are so amazing to watch Heiko! You are doing it right! Life gave you lemons and so you made a tuna sandwich! The view from your home is breathtaking. My grandfather who passed away lived in Florida and took us fishing. Watching your videos allow me to relive those times a little bit. You've got this dude!
Born and raised in homestead and fishing and diving in the keys.You are right about the weather!
Glad you’re back man! I really enjoyed watching your early videos, like catching your first sword fish solo. You were so excited it sounded like you couldn’t catch your breath. That raw content is the best type on RUclips. So I really hope you keep it when you hit 1 mil! Thanks for taking us with you on your escapades.
Man, I don’t know where to begin. Most people have no idea what it takes to do what your doing. You are putting everything in your life out there for the world to see. That takes a courage 99% of these key board pros will never have. Thank you for all the great videos. You are a rare breed. You aren’t a pro, you don’t claim to be anything other than what you are. A man trying to have fun in life and catch some fish. Haters have empty souls and can only find happiness by bringing down people who are truly happy and live life to the fullest. I appreciate all that you do man, keep up the good work. I look forward to seeing many more great videos. I believe you’ll hit that one million mark a lot sooner than you think.
Heiko, keep doing what you do! You have no idea how many people enjoy watching and how much you have been missed. People come into our lives and later leave, even those most dear to us. It hurts but is part of the tragic comedy that is life. Be encouraged my brother!
Thanks for the info man. Up till this video just considered bonito as a good fun fight and cut bait after in boat. I will definitely give this a go myself. Honestly thanks for keepin' it real for us newbs. After all a bad day on the water is good for stories and a great day is what we live for.
Hey just want to say I love your videos. I started watching 4 yrs ago when I was about to go to Key Largo for the first time and have been a fan ever since. I rented a boat and wanted to learn how to fish the reefs on my own with my wife and 2 sons. I had no idea what the hell I was doing but learned a lot from your videos. We caught a few fish...very few...but had a great time trying to figure it out thanks to you. I loved the fact that you did not come across as some expert fisherman that just knows everything and are just a regular guy that wants to catch whatever is biting.We have been trying to take a trip back down there the last couple of years but the crazy world has put that on hold. Hopefully next winter we will be back. Dont let the trolls out there get to you.You will never be able to escape them when you put yourself out there as you do. Some people just like to bitch at everyone while they sit in there house on there computer and never try anything themselves. Just know that your videos make a difference to a lot of people but the people with the biggest mouths get heard the most. Shake it off and keep doing what ypu love. Other people love it too.
Great to see you back, doing what you enjoy and what we the viewers enjoy watching. We all have good days and bad days, that's fishing, if we went out catching the big fish all of the time, we would get fed up, for me it's about the sport and having a great day and time, whatever the weather whatever you catch, it's the way fishing goes, I've been sea angling for 38 years over here in the UK 🇬🇧. Out on the charter boats, there is nothing worse than other anglers belittling anglers, the so called know all of the sport. I've never had time for these people, we are anglers and we are all in the same boat 🛥 so to speak ( no pun intended) we all make mistakes, and why, because we are not perfect, remember a bad day's fishing will always beat a good day at work. Keep your chin up matey, and keep us entertained with your vids. Tight lines bud. 👍 👍 👍
This is hands down my favorite RUclips channel. I know it can be tough sometimes, your doing so great tho just remember that.
Sorry about the split. I have a small channel and some comments are very annoying. Glad you're back
Glad to see your back. We all need a break every now and then. Always take the time to take care of yourself. I always liked the early videos your were a nut. Keep safe bro.
Dude screw those other people! Your amazing! Keep doing you and only you! I honestly look forward to every video! Love ya man and stay healthy! Much love from Ohio! Stay strong brother! Wish I could do what you do!
Keep your head up bro. I hear what your saying it would get to me too. You have alot to offer so hear the good too. We love how you have put yourself out there over the years. God bless you both and keep on truckin
Did anyone notice the closing now says “I love you all”- this has changed from “we love you all” and the music is different- and I didn’t see Katelyn? Something feels like the break, was due to something else.
I finally understand the expression "You do you!" Congratulations on figuring out that it doesn't matter what other people think of you! It took me the better part of 50 years to finally understand that point. You are a great guy - stay true to yourself! Peace, Will
Keep it up dude. I like the raw nature of your videos how I can just watch a guy go fuel his boat and pick up some chum then hit the water and have fun, I feel invested in the trip and it feels like every catch is exciting.
About the haters, unfortunately haters will always exist and they seem like the loud minority, I don't understand why if the videos cause them so much anger, they continue to watch and feel the need to bring everyone down with them. I also think the comment section will usually be loaded with people correcting and judging because the majority who enjoyed the video just hit the like button and move on instead of leaving a comment. So to you it would seem like every comment is just negative and I can see that bringing anyone down. Just know that the majority of us here enjoy your videos and appreciate them.
Thanks for your words! Helps a lot. I'm going to try and thicken my skin a bit about negative comments lol
@@SouthFloridaFishingChannel Screw the haters. This is your channel, serve it up your way!
@@SouthFloridaFishingChannel yeah brotha forget all that noise! Like in business...you can't please everyone! Always stick to your mission statement and that's how you become successful. Stay happy out there!
Hey man I am a firefighter and got hurt on duty. I found your channel and binge watched it while I was recovering from surgery. You make great content and I love your videos, I’ve been bummed not seeing your videos and I’m glad you are back. I’m moving to Florida in august maybe I’ll run into, promise no punches lol.
Don't worry about the bad comments I am following your channel from a long time you are a good person just shake your head and get rid of all negative thinking .say thanks to Lord you have blessings in your life by Grace of Good keep working as you do always . God bless you heiko bro take care of yourself
Glad your back. Means a lot to us Midwest landlocked observers! :)
Keep doing what made you and you will be fine don't worry about the haters.
Thanks buddy!
Great video Heiko! Much love from Englewood! Not long and it’s tarpon time, yeehaw!
That’s it Heiko, we love you for you not cause you’re the best fisherman on You Tube. Keep it up Bro and by the way I do the same thing with Bonita. Killer isn’t it!
Thanks! And yes it's so good!
Great video Heiko. I enjoyed fully. Those Bonitos are underrated they are an amazing fight and taking all the blood line off and eating them fresh not bad at all. Never had the pickled stuff I like the idea too. Man haters will be haters for what ever reason. Like you said thank for the View and don't break phone or mouse on the no like 😅🤣😆🤜🤛 you have our support on that Million subscribers BOOM
Thanks Julio! Can't wait to catch another sword with ya'll!
Any time is good for us. Now we have to dodge the thunder ⛈️ storms too
Dude don’t give up on your goal of 1 million, been watching pretty much since the start . I just wanna say life will go on and change is good. Your favorite videos of mine are the ones where you are having fun with your friends. You and your boys partying, having fun and living the dream . Stay strong brother we’ve all been through what your going through now . They come and go . Screw the haters ✌🏻
I love watching you fish and always look forward to seeing your next video keep doing what your doing and if someone wants to hurt you and im around, I got your back 😎
Thx for coming back love the videos! We are here for you if you need the good ones!
Definitely will have to try the "tuna" after I cut out my bonito strips 👍 Did you ice the chunks in fresh or saltwater?
I was wondering the same thing
Welcome back Heiko. Great video. Next time you make tuna salad, try adding a little Sriracha to the mix. It gives it a bit of a kick! 🤙
Don't worry about what people say, Internet will always have trolls, most of which are 12 year olds haha. Just do your thing fella! Keep going!
Don't let the trolls get to you. You are adorable, funny & very entertaining ❤️. You keep my spirits up all winter long up here in Michigan until we can put our boat back in the water & start catching our own fish again. Keep doing what you're doing & be yourself because you are fantastic & don't ever forget that!
Great now i want a tuna salad sandwich.. lol 🤙🤙 heading to Maui next month, maybe I'll be able to hook into a yft and make my own 🤞
Watched every video since the beginning. You’re the best because you’re real and not scripted like “the pros”.. nothing against them but we can relate to you. I can only get down to key largo once a year at most so keep up the great work!!!… we’re living our keys life through you!
I really like your videos, the early ones were popular because you were down to earth , the good fishing and the mistakes you put them all out there , and explained how you were fishing, keep your chin up and don't sweat the morons that complain
Good times are ahead, remember the “this too will pass” mantra. Life goes on, keep fighting the good fight. All the best from the UK.
lol, great day, but I know that feeling well, drop your coffee, lose a knife, few other minor details I'm sure happened. Just one of those days you persevere through and make it a day to remember with your bud. Always love your content and look forward to the next. PS, email me one of those tuna sammich's please !!!!
very true! Great memories always
Nah man we love you and your content. I'm on a mission to watch all of your videos and I'm more than half way through. I would love to go on a fishing trip with you and I'll be in key largo June 5th through the 11th and I'm bringing my boat down there. Stay strong my man.
Fish on!
Glad to see you back Heiko. Enjoy the video's. Keep fishing and do what you do, having fun on some of the clearest water.
Looks to me like your living a kickass life! Haters are going to hate. Keep laughing and enjoying brother!! Timmy C Arizona p.s. Don't get married! 😉
Thanks Timmy! Yea I need to just care less about what people say. But that's easier said than done for me. I'll try my best Weeeeee
I've been watching your channel from below 1000 subs from when I was down on vacation down there. I've switched my channel name several times since then. You have a great channel and personality
Heiki, Keep on doing what you do. Your passion and enthusiasm for fishing is what makes your video's worth watching. Keep networking, learning as much as possible everytime you venture out on the water and you will become a better fisherman. Set your goals and keep living the dream!
Man you should try sweet relish in it instead of celery.
I’m definitely a OG 🤙🏼 you where one of the guys who motivated me to start me own power boating channel. Keep your head up man there’s plenty of fish to catch & release 😉
Heading out without bait, not a panic.
Heading out without beer, panic.
You can’t cast the bait net and catch beer.
lol very true
@@SouthFloridaFishingChannel it’s always a good day to catch a Cerveza Fish.
Love your videos Heiko!!! You are natural and make very cool videos. I love a cold one with friends too! lol!
Thanks a lot! Means a lot
WAIT WHAAAAT!!! When did you leave I didn’t notice didnt u just uploaded a vid last week lol
Yea I did, but I didn't upload for about 2 months before that. Was a nice break but I'm ready to get back to it! Miss reading comments and putting out content
@@SouthFloridaFishingChannel yeah I member that there definetly glad your back we need you here brother I NEED YOU HERE TO WATCH YOUR CH
I can't wait to get down there and do some fishing - thank you for taking the time to make the videos, it really is appreciated.
Mother Nature is fickle! Don't depend on the weather man. Go with your gut feeling!
Amen brotha! That's how I do it!
What is my gut feeling says fish no matter what? Lolol just kidding
Hey Heiko, love the vids as always especially the streams you've been doing. Took a glance at some older videos and found this, funny how you aren't happy about the price of gas at the time of filming but imagine now, crazy how things can change so quickly.
Fuck the haters. Heiko #1 no matter what. Yeehawww
Thank you Tony! Tony #1!
Thanks for making the videos. I always enjoy watching. Every day is a gift! I think one of the best moments of this video was when you walk out onto the deck and enjoy the view!
When can we expect another honey bee video?
I'll make a bee update soon for ya
You'r never going to know the ripple effect you have had on our lives!! We started watching your videos 3 years ago, we even contacted you to build our website (WHICH TRIPLED OUR BUSINESS), we even freakin packed up our bags and moved to Florida. We bought a fishing boat because of YOU! You gave us confidence and showed us the way to navigate this. YOU DUDE! We want to thank you Heiko for showing us what life could be. Playful, fun, spear fishing w/our family, boating and fishing and enjoying life. We took your examples and made it a reality for us and that YOU SHOULD BE PROUD OF AND HUMBLED BY.. THANK YOU HEIKO FOR ALL YOU DO AND WHO YOU ARE, DON'T EVER CHANGE FOR ANYBODY ELSE, YOU ROCK.. WE LOVE YOU-ALL OF US!! Keep on living your dreams, get up every morning and ROCK YOUR WORLD NO MATTER WHAT.
ok unsubscribing... you are an iPhone user now... 😂🤣😂🤣 just kidding!! 👍👊👍👊
LOL
@@SouthFloridaFishingChannel 👍🤣😂
Man I rarely comment on videos but had to, as others said someone is always going to find something to gripe about. I love your videos because you are real and don’t edit out all the mistakes. I have learned a lot about saltwater fishing from you, as I have only been going for a few years now. Keep being you and you will hit your goal!!!
Good to see you back don’t worry about negative comments we here to support you keep it up you are the best
Happy to see you back Heiko i love watching your video's because they all show your personality and have there own uniqueness too them there are only some you tube channels that i look forward to watching the video's and yours is one of them .take care and keep the video's coming please and thank you
As a fellow programmer that loves fishing, I love your channel because you are living my dream.
Love you’re videos bro. Just keep doing your thing. Try not to let the haters get you down. 99.9% of us love your content. I laugh and love when you get excited when fish are flying in the boat, especially when you are enjoying some beer. Keep the great videos coming bro.
No one watching these vids have a pen and paper out expecting world class fishing knowledge to be bestowed to them. Your vids are like what it’s like goin out with your buddies where something is alway left at the dock but you hope for the best. And that’s why people keep watching. You’re on point more than 95% of rec anglers. Keep it up. The content is great.
You are the fisherman, I enjoy all your videos keepem coming .keep making fishing fun that's what it's all about. Thanks !!
Thanks for the video. I really enjoy watching. The cooking portion is becoming my favoite. Love watchin & learning. keep video's coming. Thank you for what you do.
Heiko, You have been missed. I recently found your channel and have been looking every couple days for the last few months for a new upload. Thankfully for me all your content including the stuff from 3+ years ago is amazing. I feel like I've found a great new series to binge on. I live in Michigan and come down to the keys a couple times a year to get my fix. I'm not into hiring charters as I like to have a real authentic experience and learn myself. Your videos have been incredibly helpful in cutting the learning curve of ocean fishing. Your explanations and enthusiasm for fishing is awesome. Don't let the internet trolls get to you brother. There's some really unhappy peoplein this world who love to put people down to feel better about themselves. On a side note I found your explanation about distinguishing between a king and cero super helpful. As a novice ocean fisherman I struggle to tell the difference between the grouper types and Bonita vs. Tuna. Might be cool if you did a couple videos on distinguishing between species of fish. Tight lines Brotha!
Welcome back. Missed your videos. I moved to Florida recently and finally got a boat. Can’t wait to start fishing offshore and catch all these fish I grew up watching on TV. I love your “I’m just out here having fun an figuring out this fishing thing” type attitude. I hope to one day meet you, hopefully see you out on the water when we make it down to the keys. Our home port is Fort Pierce and Stuart inlets. If you ever wanted to do a subscriber fishing video, I’d bring my boat down and you could shows us the basics. Keep the videos coming. Cheers.
Glad your back! Love watching you have fun out there
Heiko, I've been watching your channel since 15k and have loved every video you've posted, and any hate comments you get ignore them and keep doing what your doing.
As a Floridian and lifetime angler that either chucked bonito back or converted into bait strips.... just wanted to say thanks bud for introducing how to prepare and enjoy bonito. Bang up job buddy!
I never knew Bonita was good eats always used belly strips for Mahi. Port Canaveral 35yrs
When I lived in San Diego as a kid we caught Bonita my dad would Flay them flower salt and pepper and fry them then he would put them in a plate fry a bunch of onions until they were caramelized put the Flay's back on the onions sprinkle red wine vinegar all over it and put a lid on it and let it sit there about 10 minutes maybe sprinkle a little more red wine vinegar and let it sit five minutes more then we would eat it with Italian bread it was delicious what you did look awesome you rock my friend.
