Your catch, clean, & cook blue crab videos literally taught me everything I needed to get started. Now, I’m throwing 20 down at a time on the grill and our family LOVES it. Next, I’m going after the mangroves you did a wonderful informational video on. I’m not far from the pass. You’re awesome man, and the fishing community benefits so much from your tips and knowledge.
Hard to beat them grilled blue crabs, many will say otherwise, but I say dont knock it til you try it for sure!! Glad to hear!! Thank you!!!!! Tight lines
I literally dream of one day having a backyard like yours. Shame it will probably just remain a dream….you are blessed but seem to know it and appreciate it. Great channel!!!
I live in the Midwest and can’t fish in saltwater, but I do fish in freshwater. Watching these videos makes me want to fish in the ocean, and your are the only saltwater channel I enjoy watching. God bless you, and may good luck come your way
Spent a lot of my childhood in Bear Point and moved back to OB a few years ago. Always been a deep sea fisherman but your vids have given me a passion for inshore fishing. Couldn’t do it without you help. Great informative videos.
That’s an awesome view and amazing fish right in your backyard looks like a great place to just throw some light tackle and relax with the family and everything keep up the fun man if I can’t go fishing I love seeing other ppl fish!
God has Blessed you very much...however, you are very lucky...to have such a wonderful home...& you get to fish & go crabbing....what a wonderful site. Thank you for explaining what you are using to fish & explaining how to use it. As a family of 7 kids you Instructional video's are great for our 4 boys...you became their Hero. Thank you & God Bless You.
Hey buddy! I love all your videos! I’m located in Pensacola and If you ever want any drone shots for your videos we would be happy to swing by! Hope you see this!
Some very nice black drum. They are always fun to catch! Bought some of your pomp rigs while I was down in April. Wound up offshore and haven't tried them. Same this month. Great videos, thanks for posting!
Dude you make it look so easy!!!!!!!! I don’t nearly have as much gear and equipment and you so I don’t catch much but thanks to these videos it’s like if I’m next to you… thanks alot at least I get to see this in some form keep posting videos I love em
Good vid! I've no problem going for big uglys just to release, fine fighters. Make good trap bait too. Gonna have to try a 12-14" sometime, just not in any hurry to do so. Went to a park I used to be at daily when I lived a handful of blocks away from it, been better than a month since I'd been there. As I was helping out a guy to learn how to throw a 'ring castnet' I looked down over the sea wall and there was a big ugly just looking around for some crabs. Was atleast as big as those you got. Watched for about two minutes, wasn't concerned with us at all. I spooked him when I looked at the guy and he was getting ready to throw on it, my arm motions stopping him spooked the black and he shot out of there-they can move. Those barges and tugs displace a lot of water, they push a lot of water, and their props make a giant hole behind them. As a kid in a canoe on the Mississippi it could get worrisome when a 10-12 section long, 4 wide, 2-3 tugs pushing, going up river went through. I've yet to see a wave on the gulf as huge as those wakes could be.
Speaking of dispatching fish, when I was fishing in St. Croix, the fishing guides kept a bottle of rum (Cruzon brand, what else?) and would pour rum into the gills of the fish. The alcohol provided a quick and merciful death.
Looking for advice!! We love your videos & are coming to Orange Beach from Wyoming. Do you know somewhere we can RENT poles? We cant really fly with them.
That push boat carries many types of oils and pertolium to ports and refineries each barge carries 30,000 barrels I used to work in that industry out of Houston, TX. The farthest I've been is to Decatur, Al.
@@bear7826 Thanks , yeah, I've had these reels a longggg time (even before I joined the Army). They're nice and they hold up to some abuse but they are definitely $. I sold lots of my other rods/reels for one when I was younger
Hey man i work on the boats that push those barges ans we push anything from oil and gas to benzene and etc. looks to me like that was a chemical barge so likely benzene.
Awesome catch and enjoy your videos. I've got a question about the Gulf state Park pier. When purchasing your AL license, does the pier pass allow you piers access to the pier without paying the fee? Reason I ask, one pier employee let me on without pier fee then the next day another employee got belligerent and said that piers pass wasn't the same fee. It plainly states in the region book that it is for pier access when purchasing this option on your fishing license. Please enlighten me since you fish the G.S.P.P. alot. Thank yu
Such angry fish. Black drum fight like big blue cats and carp, they try to out muscle you and sometimes they can lol. Ive yet to get a black drum over 30lbs but would love to try.
Do you think it would help having a kayak ready to get in to go out and get them out of the pilings? I think it's really great you can walk out in your backyard and catch monster fish like that!
once went out for giant reds in the bay when I was like 9, theres a picture of me with a fish bigger than me, was an awesome day. we also used crabs for bait, me, my brother, and my dad caught like 4 or 5 that day.

Fishing the back yard...how good does it get👍👍 Those black drum are underrated. They dont seem get the attention that other so called "sport fish"do.
Spent a lot of my childhood in Bear Point and moved back to OB a few years ago. Always been a deep sea fisherman but your vids have given me a passion for inshore fishing. Couldn’t do it without you help. Great informative videos.
Glad you enjoyed it
I have caught 2 black drums around that size. So much fun, and absolutely amazing to see them swim away. They are like dinosaurs. Nice job!
That type of fishing is so underrated. Great video..
Man I love watching your videos! Love saltwater fishing period! The best part is your videos are very informative keep it up!

Awesome video as always! I also noticed that Spyderco you used to cut the blue crab, love those knives!
Yes! I love my Spydies. I usually EDC an custom Paramilitary 2. But this Salt can take the abuse I throw at it without a problem lol
"Respect your Catch." That's what's up. Thank God indeed!
Good vid!

got plenty of docks where i live so looking forward to catching few big black drum this year!
Go get em!
@@BamaSaltwater havent had much lucky mostly catfish lol
Tanks for posting your videos
3:50 I would use a cordless drill and predrill a say 1/32 hole for the hook, or what ever size the hook is and a tad smaller, 1/8. 1/16

Absolute UNIT drum! Tight lines 🤙🏼🤙🏼
I love your videos and i love to surf fish!! I have learned a lot from watching you!
I’m jealous of that black drum you caught. What a fish! You just go yourself a new subscription
That bead is a good thing to keep
the sinkers from rubbing on the
knot at the swivel. I use a split
shot at times too
I really enjoyed this video. You’re a lucky man. Do this again 👍👍
Looking for advice!! We love your videos & are coming to Orange Beach from Wyoming. Do you know somewhere we can RENT poles? We cant really fly with them.
And your dog is adorable
Do you have any merchandise
what other kinds of fish can you catch from your back yard?
Those were some amazing fish. Great job 👏
Thanks!
Down at Orange beach now 5/23 and the wind rain and sea weeds have been terrible.
Awesome fish man awesome fish!
Beautiful fish. Nice work
Hey Bama! When are you gonna start charters? If so I’d be interested!
That hangout fest was a pain for traffic,
What combo rod and reel are you using
That push boat carries many types of oils and pertolium to ports and refineries each barge carries 30,000 barrels I used to work in that industry out of Houston, TX. The farthest I've been is to Decatur, Al.
Just bought a couple of your rigs. Look forward to using them!
Where is that chrome reel on toadfish? I only see the black with the turquoise line. Let me know. Thanks
Oh it’s a Van Staal. Nice. One day I’ll own one
@@bear7826 Thanks , yeah, I've had these reels a longggg time (even before I joined the Army). They're nice and they hold up to some abuse but they are definitely $. I sold lots of my other rods/reels for one when I was younger
@@BamaSaltwater yeah. I got it in my wishlist now. I’ll get one eventually. They look so nice. Thanks for the reply
Where can I get a rod and reel like that, I didn’t see it on the website that you listed in your link
Great video, is that a Van Staal reel?
And what rod is that? I like the good looking double rings on the reel seat.
I love your videos man you're so chill and very detailed,what reel was that you were using, I'd like to get one.?
It's a ZeeBaas and Van Staal
@@BamaSaltwater thank you I hope everything is going well there re: hurricane I'm from fla, thanks again
Wow awesome fishing and what a beautiful rod and reel. Can someone tell me what kind of rod is being used here?
It's a Shimano Speedmaster 9" Medium Moderate 2 piece Surf Rod, thanks
and a van staal my dream reel but i cant afford it lol
What kind of rig are you using?
Good job on the landing! Mississippi
Do you still have a promo code for the Sord knives. I'm wanting 9 inch medium flex and 9 inch serrated.
I caught black drum in Louisiana last year all between 30 -40 lbs and they put up an awesome fight
Hey man i work on the boats that push those barges ans we push anything from oil and gas to benzene and etc. looks to me like that was a chemical barge so likely benzene.
That's neat! Thanks for the info
@@BamaSaltwater Yeah no worries
We call them "Big Uglies" over here in Texas! They're beasts to land though! Wish I was on the water now instead of at my workdesk!
Yup! We do too haha. They're very exciting and "stress free" to catch in a sense
That was a big fugly! Dude, great looking fun
Do you find worms in the larger black drum like that?
Great video...great fish..you rock love gulf shores area..
3:49 what knife is that??
Spyderco Pacific Salt
@@jaredbradley4095 ok
Heck of a fish,. Nice work!!
Thanks 👍

What reel are you using in this video?
that's awesome brother nice drum!!! got lots of them down here to in south Texas!!! what reel is that by the way look cool
Hey do you think you'll ever get the dock rebuilt dock out there? Probably pointless just to have a hurricane destroy it but that would be nice!
If I had the $, they're very expensive
@@BamaSaltwater Keep up the awesome videos and RUclips will pay for it!
@@JohnSmith-is4pt Maybe one day! Thanks much
Another great video from the best!
I caught 1 in rockport texas off the bank with frozen shrimp from heb. Weighes 22.7 lbs inwas using 20lb Berkley big game mono
That's a good one !
You’re dog is so cute btw
boom,wat a drumx3.thats fun fishin..
Nice job what’s the name and model of the reel and rod you using?
Thanks! It's a Van Staal VS 100 and a Shimano Speedmaster 9' Medium Moderate Rod
Whats the reel your using?
We catch those in the fall here in florida
Sometimes at night you can hear them making grunt noises out in the water
What brand is this reel?
Where are you fishing from? I assume you're in Mobile Bay somewhere, yes? Are you in Fairhope, Daphne,...etc?
I've caught more saltwater fish tossing bait on a fish finder rig ithan any other way. Simple but very effective! Great fish and video!
Fully agree, simple is best.
What rod is that??
Mbn to step behind your house and do this kind of fishing. Just wondering, what kind of fish is in that water?
Reds, black drum, trout , croaker and tons of catfish lol
I would love to see a trippletail trip on the new boat.
100% in the plans !
Such angry fish. Black drum fight like big blue cats and carp, they try to out muscle you and sometimes they can lol. Ive yet to get a black drum over 30lbs but would love to try.
Yes they do! Just like a big bluecat below a dam lol
Do you think it would help having a kayak ready to get in to go out and get them out of the pilings? I think it's really great you can walk out in your backyard and catch monster fish like that!
It'd be more trouble and hassle than it's worth for sure lol But it's fun nevertheless
that's a beautiful reel man :o Van Staal?
Have you ever tried fishing for flounder in your back yard?
Beautiful reel
I really enjoy this video
Great video thanks!!!
Where is this place at?
once went out for giant reds in the bay when I was like 9, theres a picture of me with a fish bigger than me, was an awesome day. we also used crabs for bait, me, my brother, and my dad caught like 4 or 5 that day.
That's awesome !
Still looking for what reel he’s using
Van Staal VS 100 and ZeeBaas ZX 22
That was awesome!
What kind of reel is that? it's nice man
Wow nice job
Hey, whatcha doing today?
I don’t know. Might go make a RUclips video catching a blackdrum the back yard.
Not many can do that! Cool!
What is the name/brand of the reel is that? Please info
Van Staal VSX100 and ZeeBaas ZX22
