Steve is a never-ending wealth of knowledge. I can listen to him all day. He makes you an all-around better outdoorsman . Thanks, Steve and crew, for all the adventures.
As a commercial spearfisherman I can tell you that Steve knows extremely little about spearfishing of almost any kind. He goes spearfishing with the worlds best spearfishermen and they put him on layups. If he had to figure out how to do this kind of stuff on his own, he’d never ever get it. Ever. Not in the Bahamas, in the gulf, east coast Florida, North Carolina. I love this show, but being an expert in this sport, watching his skill level at this, it’s so glaringly obvious that he is a complete novice spearfisherman. I don’t mean this in a bad way. There are not that many people who can become really good at it and most of them have to start young.
@@JR-kc8jxoh shut up, who was this paragraph even for? Obviously just for you as nobody cares man st fu keep your opinion to yourself…. Guarantee Steve’s never met a hater doing better than him at life
@JR-kc8jx i mean that is the whole point of the show. Steve isnt an expert at it. The show is to meet people who are and show how they hunt. Steve is just the host we all love. Lifes barely long enough to become an expert at one thing let alone all kinds of hunting
From South Africa here, loving the Rob Allen gear you guys are rocking, Uncle Rob is a national treasure to us SA Spearos, his guns are widely known as the AK 47s of the sea.
My Grandfather used to take us off the coast to the rigs for fishing and swimming. Best experiences of my life. Its oddly magical, and I miss it all the time. Glad we can share this experience.
@@joepelosi7058It depends on quite a few things. You don't really pay per person but for the boat unless you can get others to join in your trip. Fuel is expensive so a 50 mile trip is very different than a 500 mile trip. Also don't forget they won't take someone inexperienced out to dive as it is far too dangerous. With all that you are looking at 500-1000 per day per person. You can get on a group line and reel boat for half that
So glad too see someone using the real Louisiana hot sauce. Also I am glad too see Steven R. back in the MeatEater vids. Thanks for the great content Steven!!!!
Steve, I love what you do man. I envy the joy you must feel going to all these beautiful locations on the hunt for memories, to discover mother nature to her core. Keep on keeping on man, Lifes a garden, DIG IT!
Glad to see Rob Allen equipment well made and great group of guys. Wealth of Spearfishing knowledge between him and Jeremy all things tested in house by Jeremy who is a master at deep diving for big fish.
i'm from south Louisiana 30 miles from the gulf and I don't know if I've ever seen someone sell red snapper that wasn't the genuine article...we have a reputation to maintain...
One of my fav episodes yet! Absolutely enjoy and respect the story telling of the species and the insights to diving these waters! This was a perfect episode!
Growing up some of my best memories are from fishing Venice with my dad. Pre-katrina Venice was this tiny, quiet fishing paradise. There were only a handful of charter boats, reel peace, paradise outfitters, super strike, osprey, strike zone...I'm sure I'm missing someone the boats were 26' long and you weren't going to see 26 mph but that didn't matter. What makes Venice unique to the continental US is how fast you get to deep water. 10 miles out of south pass 1000' of water. Mississippi canyon curves in where the river dumps out. So the small fleet of charter boats only had to run on the shelf and the fishing was epic. Open water tuna feeding everywhere, giants on the midnight lump... Now Venice is still the same size but the number and size of the charter boats has grown exponentially since the oil spill. The boats are faster, the technology is better the gear is better but it's the same fishery with unsustainable pressure. The map updates can't keep up with how fast the Marsh is sinking, I can't remember the last time I saw open water fish midnight lump died 10 years ago and the east lump appears to be the same... Every time I think of Venice when I was growing up to Venice now I think about Buffalo hunters...there is a correlation
I love this show so much. I wish steven Rinella started a how to hunt show explaining and showing hunts but in a much more educational and technical way. Like explaining the guns and going into details etc..
Been watching Meat Eaters since it’s inception. Actually, Also Steve’s other show he had before Meat Eaters. It’s been fun to watch him and his content grow over the years. Love this show!!
Just wanted to let you know these videos are awesome. I can't explain it but your voice calms my soul listening to it w the true passion and love for the outdoors.
Steve this os coming from the bottom of my heart. WE NEED MORE COOKING specials. Bearded guy is good but there something about a hunter cooking without complex ingredients just a smoker and a stove and meat. Please make us more Cooking specials pass my regards to matt the chef
I know he isn't ever gonna see this lol but Steven Renella is my hero. He's a hel of an inspiration. He is also 100 percent correct about the rig sirens. I've only ever even seen one and we were directly under and tied off to the rig😂 deafening!!
As a Gulf Coast resident I tend to also be torn on the derelict rig situation - it ebbs and flows on what to do about them. The key Steve did leave out is it’s not typically the rig itself - it’s the wells underneath them that are typically a problem - most are capped (but not plugged properly) and some are even still plumbed in and could be brought into production - all on the ocean floor rusting away waiting on a blow out.
Nice, you guys are making me hungry, your fish is so well prepared, looks good. Good to see that you dive with a solid good South African brand like Rob Allen.
You can make cevice from freshwater fish, but it has to be just right. I did make perch and mango cevice from perch that I caught ice fishing toward the end of the season. Clear, moving, super cold water, under the ice. The meat was translucent, and I could see no summer parasites. I put it I cucumber cups and served it to family, and it was a big hit. There are few situations (other than an emergency) in which I would serve this to someone else. Everything has to be just right, with no long drives.
I have multiple spots here in Southwest Florida. Where we can all limit out on 25 inch Yellow tail, we have a lot of big ones here. I've caught them over 30 inches.
Very cool! My buddies in South Louisiana spearfish the rigs, but they all use scuba gear. There’s a club of guys that go really deep and shoot absolute sea monsters. Too extreme for me, lol.
My dad used to work on the barges that built these oil rigs. He has (extremely grainy) videos of like 9 Filipino dudes hand hauling like a 10 foot fish (i forget what it was forgive me this happened in like 2006) they cut it up and cooked it for the guys on deck like right then and there dad still talks about how good that fish was.
Eric thanks that was fun to watch I'll be watching for me rematch. Well how I get ready for bow season is kind of how cam Hanes does I shoot down my driveway where vehicles are parked, I have about 120ft. Of driveway I have to shoot past 2cars 1pickup and 25ft.camp trailer. Thanks Marty
Steve I would l love to see Chef Jean Paul Bourgeois face to face with a shark......talk about making a WAKE....Great video I don't know if I would dive in that murky stuff.......all 3 dishes looked amazing
tripletail are my absolute favorite fish in the world to target. only fish that tastes better is cobia. my son and i actually limited out on them twice in the past month or so. theyre such a strange fish and pound for pound fight just as hard and dirty as any fish out there. that big one steve speared was an absolute stud and they actually get a lot bigger. steve you should really make more videos like this one. loved it🤙
I've been living on the Gulf for the past 20 years and been fishing it for over 40. Cobia are ok, but not my most wanted fish to catch and eat. I'm not knocking them, but there are tastier fish in the Gulf in my opinion. Give me a ling instead every day and twice on Sunday! Yum!!!😜 Seriously, I love to catch and eat mahi mahi and flounder.
I think it would be awesome to see Steve go down under and go out with Brodie of Youngbloods. Dude lives on the water and seems to have a similar mentality about wildlife and harvesting.
Like losing a friend.... This really hurts and rings true as an east coast hunter. A loss or rule change on one of our very small and few public hunting areas is losing a lot. There is so little area I feel the sting when a single squirrel nesting tree blows over.
Steve, you can just get your Benchmade knives laser engraved with your last name...you don't have to write it in sharpie.. lol 🤣 Great episode. Can't believe you were spearfishing in that murky water! 😁
This show just makes me hungry
Same
For real
Agreed!
So true
It’s workiiiiing!!

Bro.. this is so good. Steve deserves ALL the money for getting in the water with those sharks
My Grandfather used to take us off the coast to the rigs for fishing and swimming. Best experiences of my life. Its oddly magical, and I miss it all the time.
Glad we can share this experience.
If I was to go on vacation there being from the UK how expensive would it be to get someone to take me out and experience this fishing
@@joepelosi7058 Couple hundred dollars I suppose. Wouldn't be outrageous, but you get what you pay for.

He is in all the MeatEater the show episodes, but this RUclips channel and company own many shows he can't host every one
it maybe real louisiana hot sauce but by far not even close to the best one.
Steve, I love what you do man. I envy the joy you must feel going to all these beautiful locations on the hunt for memories, to discover mother nature to her core. Keep on keeping on man, Lifes a garden, DIG IT!

Shout out to the editor of this video for doing his/her best to drown out the sound of the siren on the rigs in all the footage... You the real MVP. 😂
Steve, you're always welcomed down on the Gulf. Keep up the good work. God bless.
i'm from south Louisiana 30 miles from the gulf and I don't know if I've ever seen someone sell red snapper that wasn't the genuine article...we have a reputation to maintain...
My first year hunting and this man has taught me alot!! Thank you very much sir
"spearcurious" 😂 Steve never fails to say something that catches my ear and makes me smile. Every episode. Every podcast.
One of my fav episodes yet! Absolutely enjoy and respect the story telling of the species and the insights to diving these waters! This was a perfect episode!
Scuba Steve! This is awesome! A huge change of scenery from the normal Steve hunting videos. Just another showcase of how kick butt he is.

I hope Steve sticks around for a long time.. What an awesome trip he just had. So cool!!.
this channel is a dedication to all my vegetarian friends and life stylers may you enjoy every second of meat slicing
I love this show so much. I wish steven Rinella started a how to hunt show explaining and showing hunts but in a much more educational and technical way. Like explaining the guns and going into details etc..
Would love to see one for fishing, too.
Men doing life, connecting with nature, food, and each other. This is what is missing for so many out in the modern world.
Been watching Meat Eaters since it’s inception. Actually,
Also Steve’s other show he had before Meat Eaters. It’s been fun to watch him and his content grow over the years. Love this show!!
I hope Steve sticks around for a long time.. Amazing video! Those triple-tails were huge!!.
What an awesome trip! That last meal looked terrific. Love the Meateater series!
I hope Steve sticks around for a long time.
Something tells me that he would share this particular sentiment.
Ya ya ya. Pervert 😂
Diving down around those platforms would be cool fishing. Another great episode!
Just wanted to let you know these videos are awesome. I can't explain it but your voice calms my soul listening to it w the true passion and love for the outdoors.
That printing is amazing. What a way to remember a fish. 🤘
Steve this os coming from the bottom of my heart. WE NEED MORE COOKING specials. Bearded guy is good but there something about a hunter cooking without complex ingredients just a smoker and a stove and meat. Please make us more Cooking specials pass my regards to matt the chef
Good afternoon from Syracuse NY everyone thank you for sharing your adventures and cooking adventures
I know he isn't ever gonna see this lol but Steven Renella is my hero. He's a hel of an inspiration. He is also 100 percent correct about the rig sirens. I've only ever even seen one and we were directly under and tied off to the rig😂 deafening!!
As always Steve, always a pleasure watching you brother, love meat eater
Love the shout out to Hell Divers Spearfishing club on the tee shirts
Mangrove Snapper is my favorite fish for sure.
Once again your guys killed it, what an adventure your videography was amazing. Fishing look incredible.
Having been lucky enough to catch and eat a few mangrove snapper. I absolutely love eating them one of my all time favourites
Excellent video. Great you mentioned the rig extraction issue. Also good to see the Hell Diver shirts, gave you vid credibility .
Every time when he says: "On this hunt"... its satisfying 😂😂
Poke with salt pepper and sesame seed oil is the BEST!!!
Please do a couple more Gulf fishing video's, great content!
So glad there will even be a 12th season in oktober.
You are an absolute inspiration for my life Steve, thank you for doing you.
Good to hear. These were released on the Meateater website last December. What platform will the new ones be released on?

Nice, you guys are making me hungry, your fish is so well prepared, looks good. Good to see that you dive with a solid good South African brand like Rob Allen.
You'll have to add some spiney oysters on your next trip to the rigs. The shells are wildly beautiful. Taste great too!
Cool to see Steve doing the things I do on the weekend. Please do some more Alaska camp videos as well!!
The print they did. I've never seen that! I'm gonna try that now keep the videos up lads
Steve's spearfishing skills have improved a lot since the show he did with Kimi Warner.
So cool to see you diving I been watching you from season 1 and coming from hawaii I grew up spearfishing
Respect for diving in those murky conditions.
Awesome video . Normally watch the hunting ones. Seeing a water episode was really cool
Aaahhhh, the triple tail. They are a prized catch here in the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
Fish printing, never knew that was a thing. Very Cool!!!
Amazing video! Those triple-tails were huge!!. This show just makes me hungry.
You can make cevice from freshwater fish, but it has to be just right. I did make perch and mango cevice from perch that I caught ice fishing toward the end of the season.

Man been watching meateater since the start keep doing your thing!!! steve💪💪
I love it when you hit the water Rinella 💪🏻
After 10 years of the same glorious intro im not certain how i feel about the new one.
Amazing video! Those triple-tails were huge!!. Please do a couple more Gulf fishing video's, great content!.
This some quality spearing content, especially for a part timespearo like steve.
I have multiple spots here in Southwest Florida. Where we can all limit out on 25 inch Yellow tail, we have a lot of big ones here.
I've caught them over 30 inches.
Hey Hey, Steve is in this one! Should be in Every Episode!
Very cool! My buddies in South Louisiana spearfish the rigs, but they all use scuba gear. There’s a club of guys that go really deep and shoot absolute sea monsters. Too extreme for me, lol.
Amazing!! Thank you, Meateater crew!!!
The best hunters and keepers of all time
What an awesome trip he just had. So cool!!
Amazing video! Those triple-tails were huge!!
Tripletail are tough to beat. Absolutely delicious
Always learning ... this is awesome.
Most useful show ever
That was a great esp. 👍
where coming into the warmer months in the southern hemisphere. After watching this I will have to bust out my dive gear.
My dad used to work on the barges that built these oil rigs. He has (extremely grainy) videos of like 9 Filipino dudes hand hauling like a 10 foot fish (i forget what it was forgive me this happened in like 2006) they cut it up and cooked it for the guys on deck like right then and there dad still talks about how good that fish was.

I've learned quite a bit from watching your videos. A sincere Thank you!

Awesome episode as always. Have never watched an episode of this show that I didn’t enjoy.
Steve I would l love to see Chef Jean Paul Bourgeois face to face with a shark......talk about making a WAKE....Great video I don't know if I would dive in that murky stuff.......all 3 dishes looked amazing

Not sure about eating raw cobia, but grill pan on a gas stove, cubed and deep fried, or on a charcoal grill are my go to.
Great to see Steve again!!!
I've been living on the Gulf for the past 20 years and been fishing it for over 40. Cobia are ok, but not my most wanted fish to catch and eat. I'm not knocking them, but there are tastier fish in the Gulf in my opinion. Give me a ling instead every day and twice on Sunday! Yum!!!😜
Seriously, I love to catch and eat mahi mahi and flounder.
Glad I've got fish head soup cooking while watching this. Makes me hangry.
Love the cooking as much as the hunting
I think it would be awesome to see Steve go down under and go out with Brodie of Youngbloods. Dude lives on the water and seems to have a similar mentality about wildlife and harvesting.
I've watched this like 30 times now
Awesome video Steve. as always.
As always thanks
meat eater is so under rated
I dig the new intro
I'm always hungry after watching this show...
Like losing a friend.... This really hurts and rings true as an east coast hunter. A loss or rule change on one of our very small and few public hunting areas is losing a lot. There is so little area I feel the sting when a single squirrel nesting tree blows over.
You need to head to the lower Chesapeake bay in the summer for Cobia
Kimi Werner would be proud !!!😎🤙🏽
Cobia is probably my favorite. Meat is very sweet. Candy sweet
Great show as always bro
reminds me of a book i read years ago called the hell divers rodeo....good times
another great video a good healthy eats
Steve, you can just get your Benchmade knives laser engraved with your last name...you don't have to write it in sharpie.. lol 🤣
Great episode. Can't believe you were spearfishing in that murky water! 😁
love the new intro!
Great episode!
Steve is, in fact, a direct successor of Jacques Cousteau
great episode!
