Thanks so much! It is a lot of work behind the scenes. It is fun catching fish. But the preparation, and break down at the end of each of these trips makes me sleep really good in the end of the day hahaha.
Love the chaotic intro at the launch. That stuff happens to all of us from time to time - very cool that you owned it and started the video with it. Thanks man
Offshore fishing in Florida is so frustrating these days. Sharks for days. Great video as always and thanks for putting in so much work to produce such high quality productions!
Lots of people are getting fed up with dealing with sharks. They are a sign of a healthy ecosystem but god damn are they frustrating to deal with. Good fix is to hook into one and fight it, usually works at scaring a lot of others off. Lots of guides are killing them to keep others away. Dead sharks make for a great repellent to some species so there has been some products coming out to mimic that.
Thanks so much and nothing to be sorry about. It woke me up nicely and now that I think about it. I laugh at myself 😂 the ramp was extremely slippery this day. It happens.
Awesome, crazy what ya gotta go through with all the toothies tryna git yur catch before ya git it up but them Snook sure showed ya love before leavin the Country!
Wow, it almost got away from you! Need the remote for trolling motor since it is a self-deploying one. Such a great video with all the live under water shots. Love watching your videos, thanks for sharing and taking us along for the ride.
Hahaha yeah my remote was on the boat but even still. It doesn’t deploy great on its own. Now I normally have to give the head a little push for it to deploy.
@@FishAholicTV also wanted to ask about your 4runner, what year and is it 4wheel drive? Looking maybe to get one, what is the weight of your boat and trailer and does the truck pull it good? Thanks for you help.
Great video per usual, Rich! I could feel the frustration when those cudas/sharks were robbing you there. Also, monster snook at the end man. Excited to see what you're going to do next with that livescope!
Nice snook , love to see those big ladies released. Bummer on the barracuda’s and sharks. I have done the same as you did with your boat line. I trailer my kayak and usually tie off the line. Scares the heck out of you watching your boat heading out without you….😳😳😳😳😳 As always thanks for taking us on another adventure. Cheers
WHOOPS! ha ha That is an expensive boat to let go, and the vehicle almost got away, too , it looks like. Where was your mind? You are brave to show this part of the video.
Tax man came in close to get that mutten... Went out Saturday night caught a cooler full of spots,gray trout,speckled trout,blues,Spanish, huge pompano,black and red drum.
Hey rich live the videos! Hope to be able to fish Florida keys someday! I’m northwest got a lot of halibut lings and rockfish. Just wondering what baitcasting reel are you using with the white handle?
Rich I've been fishing the Keys for a living for almost 20 years and have had 1000 encounters with Flipper eating my fish/bait but never once have I hooked one or even heard of one hooked. Their echo location shows them exactly where that hook is its crazy
Yep, you can tell when a man has “other” things on his mind ❤!! The brain “functions” become “malfunctions” and things like putting the vehicle in “P” before exiting are “gone with the wind”. RFLMAO, I was yelling “the rope, the rope” splash, um sharks? Way to keep it together!! That Brazil trip can’t get here soon enough!!
I put it in Park it just started sliding on the ramp. But yeah fishing and traveling so much it catches up to you. I got lucky. My rope all tangled and balled up at the end didn’t help either. It should have been extended fully.
Love your vid’s Rich. I missed out on the striper surf run this year out here in the Monterey Bay. I couldn’t buy a fish! Spooks and swarter’s were doing it. Glad it all worked out!!
Hahaha yeah I could have just tied it. I’ve done it so many times. But I definitely wasn’t prepared for this. Usually this ramp isn’t as slippery as it was on this day.
Hey man I know you’re doing a lot of world traveling right now but if you ever wanted to get out of Oregon inlet in NC let me know, im a mate on an offshore boat out of there and I’m sure my captain would be willing to do some trip for advertisement trade type deal, tight lines brother
Hey Stephen, yeah I would love too fish out of there. Here is my email fishaholictv@gmail.com I was actually just up in Montauk for a couple days and the Bluefin bite was off the charts. A lot of them are starting to migrate out of the Northeast and probably down your way.
Dude I thought I saw what I saw with the rope then the @#! and dive in is when i realized i did see. Happens to the best of us! Living and fishing from my boat in NE I plan to make the move down there again. I miss Florida fishing.
Haha yeah having the end of the rope all balled up in a knot isn’t a good plan 🤣. If it wasn’t i probably would have had the extra time to grab it. You live and you learn hopefully I’ll see you out there down here one day 🤙🏻
How often do you launch there? Ive seen your setup there once and wanted to say hi but you were out on the water ig. I moved here for work and your channel is what inspired me to get into saltwater fishing (freshwater before) and has taught me a lot. I recently invested in a hobie outback and I am loving it (love your setup). Thanks for all your content, and I am still learning a lot! P.s. Got one of your rods and it is really good quality stuff. Caught my first snook on it. 24"
It has probably about a 40 yard range. But I didn’t have it in my pocket and when launching. Also sometimes it gets stuck when deploying. So I don’t trust it enough to rely on it while launching.
Please excuse my ignorance - but has the issue of sharks and 'cudas stealing hooked/caught fish - and bait - become worse over the last few years? Or has it always been like this? Thanks for another great video and I hope that "snappah" was tasty!
@@FishAholicTV Thanks. I was born/raised in FL but left the state years ago. I don't recall this being a "thing" back then ... but again, it wasn't my focus either - soooo. It reminds me of bears, coyotes (and similar) learning to raid human occupied camp sites - as in the "wildlife" has gotten smarter about an easy food source.
Hey Rich! Do you know of anybody down there that might be looking for a deckhand/mate on their fishing boat? I just finished working up in Alaska as a charter deckhand for the season and im looking to move down in the Florida area. Just wondering if you had any connection! Love your vids. Thanks
Any reason why the car did that? I don’t have a boat and I always wondered how cars/trucks ended up getting totaled by needing up in the water at boat ramps. I am assuming it’s something to do with the 4 wheel drive but not sure
The ramp had a lot of growth on it. I swear I put it in park but it just kept sliding. Usually for launching I don’t use 4 wheel but from now on maybe I will. Usually when I pull the boat I always have it in 4wheel because of course that is when the load is the most when pulling it out.
Hahaha I was still a little tired from the day before. That swim definitely woke me up. Especially when mullet started getting chased just outside of where my boat was floating.
Will you be staying in sao paulo city? If so we can try an offshore trip. The weather has been crazy down here lately but it may get better soon. Let me know how I contact you. Have a safe trip. Best regards, Newton H
There was a lot of growth. Maybe it was a rainy weekend so a lot of people didn’t launch for a few days. Typically this ramp isn’t that slippy. But this day I had to hold on to the truck just to walk to the tongue of the trailer to hook it back up. Or I would have slipped. It was like black ice.
The inshore fishing can save you a lot of money on (boat) gas; but the condition of the inshore environment sucks. Try to imagine what fishing Charlotte, or Tampa Bay would have been like 150 years ago! As a young guy I could always scare-up a stringer of reds or trout in the bay. Today it's very spotty. Offshore the scene has suffered from over-fishing at times but the condition of the stock is improving.
Did you know that experiments which removed a predatory fish’s eye sight or lateral line function, the fish without eyesight could still easily catch its prey, but those without lateral line function could not successfully catch their prey?
Tie your leash to the trailer wench. Keep rope straight down the middle of the trailer, as you pull trailer out rope stays attached and is easily grabbed. Only swim if you forget to tie or rope breaks. Props for showing and not editing out funny stuff.
Reminds me of when my buddy and i where fishing from bridge piling and he didnt tie off the gheeenue good enough by the time we looked back boat was gone at 2 am had to walk to mangroves to get to the boat and swimm out to it in the Myakka river super sketchy
Keep videos coming out of Martin County! But, If you're gonna catch bait atleast stringers on sabikis, you wanna be up and down, not casting 40yrds... An if you wanna catch bait like commercial fisherman get like 9ft pole and tie 2 sabiki rigs together. Much respect though, I appreciate you making video. OMG, that spot is a no go with that many cudas, that almost bad is the unchecked sharks in area 😂... Keep videos going, I'll follow you
Every time I start one of these, I can't help but acknowledge how much work Rich puts in to his filmography! Pleasure to watch
Thank you sir
Thanks so much! It is a lot of work behind the scenes. It is fun catching fish. But the preparation, and break down at the end of each of these trips makes me sleep really good in the end of the day hahaha.

Glad you enjoyed Steven yeah unfortunately I guess that is just the name of the game unfortunately. I’m glad I caught two snapper at least.
Here in SC sharks aren’t quite as bad as FL, but still like every other fish you catch lol
Great video as always my fish lovin' brother.. Can't wait for the Brazil videos to drop. 🐟
Thanks so much!! I have to get to work on those videos!
Dang Rich...you have my hand twitching as you were battling the sharks fighting for those muttons 😂 !
I can't be the only one 🥸
Sorry about the swim but love the work you do. Your content is more than a highlight real, that’s what makes the channel great. You keep it real.
Thanks so much and nothing to be sorry about. It woke me up nicely and now that I think about it. I laugh at myself 😂 the ramp was extremely slippery this day. It happens.
My nerme is shawn
🎉
When you want to go swimming Rich,, Just jump right on in,, There's no need to make excuses just for us 🤪
Haha yeah ok your right 🤣
Like that you included that first part with the boat floating away. Glad nothing happened in the end! Fast footwork!
Hahaha 🤣 glad to hear. I’ll think about your comment the next time something silly happens.
Almost featured yourself on qualified captain, boat ramp champ! Nice save Rich, happens to the best of us.
I KNOW i'm not the only one that got a little chuckle when Rich said,, "Just one snook & then done",, Yeah,, ok Rich 🤪
Hahahahaha I kid myself 🤣
This is why your my favorite saltwater RUclipsr and I loved the Panama series keep it up!
Enjoyed watching and appreciate you sharing and taking us along! Good job my friend! Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much David! Glad you enjoyed!
Nice job Rich have fun on your trip sorry about the swim went for one too after a 48 inch Striper off the east wall you know where lolo tight lines
At least the rope didn’t tangle in the prop. Great save !!
Awesome, crazy what ya gotta go through with all the toothies tryna git yur catch before ya git it up but them Snook sure showed ya love before leavin the Country!
Hell yes! Nothing like chasing down your boat first thing in the morning
Woke me up really well. Best catch of the day hahaha 🤣
@@FishAholicTVdefinently best catch of your life... your biggest fish and the most expensive one 😅😅😅
Yooo.. the choice of music in the beginning was immaculate.
Great video, thanks for sharing!
Great video - again!
That BLEEP was a first…close call. Doubt anyone would come forward with a new SUV for you like the drone loss. Another great vid Rich ..thanks.
Hahaha yeah that would be tough and I’m almost done paying off my 4runner
Even though u went for a swim u gave me a few good ideas for launching on my own. Great segment as always Rich.
Haha glad to hear!! Thanks for watching!
Amazing how you have mastered getting those Trophy Snook with ease… kind of reminds me of Florida’s version of Striped Bass! 🔱
How fun in Brazil! 😎🎣
If you go fishing, "stuff" happens, LOL. Glad it turned out fine and you are back after it.
Yeah exactly. I was happy how the day unfolded. Surprised by a nice swim that woke me up.
Wow, it almost got away from you! Need the remote for trolling motor since it is a self-deploying one. Such a great video with all the live under water shots. Love watching your videos, thanks for sharing and taking us along for the ride.
I bet that his remote was on the boat
Hahaha yeah my remote was on the boat but even still. It doesn’t deploy great on its own. Now I normally have to give the head a little push for it to deploy.
Glad you enjoyed at least still. It was still really fun filming this video! Tight Lines!!
Try some WD40 in the hinge to see if it will displace any moisture or corrosion that might be in there.
@@FishAholicTV also wanted to ask about your 4runner, what year and is it 4wheel drive? Looking maybe to get one, what is the weight of your boat and trailer and does the truck pull it good? Thanks for you help.
Great video per usual, Rich! I could feel the frustration when those cudas/sharks were robbing you there. Also, monster snook at the end man. Excited to see what you're going to do next with that livescope!
Watch for your new posts every morning!!
LOL I have a white SR5 too .
I'm down in the Gardens..
Awesome, glad to hear!! Thanks so much for watching!!!
At least the ramp wasn't busy.. lol. Love your videos!
Hahaha yeah you have a point. Thanks so much!!!
Nice snook , love to see those big ladies released.
Bummer on the barracuda’s and sharks.
I have done the same as you did with your boat line. I trailer my kayak and usually tie off the line. Scares the heck out of you watching your boat heading out without you….😳😳😳😳😳
As always thanks for taking us on another adventure.
Cheers
Thanks so much!! Yeah it was not a good feeling watching my boat float away haha. Good thing I’m a decent swimmer.
Damn dude - last snook was a tank 🤙🏼 Thx for sharing
Good video. The live scope is dope.
WHOOPS! ha ha That is an expensive boat to let go, and the vehicle almost got away, too , it looks like. Where was your mind? You are brave to show this part of the video.
Live scope and spot lock game changer.
Great show and editing is perfect
Love the offshore inshore combo!
Thanks Michael, glad to hear!!!
Awesome cant wait to watch it
Thanks so much for tuning in!!
Amazing content, I love your channel. Keep it up, so happy to see on insta your back up for a sec where I am up north
Thanks so much James!! Really glad you enjoyed!!
Don't know if I've ever seen someone go out and slay some mutton's and then come in and catch a 40 all in the same day. Sick video
Tax man came in close to get that mutten...
Went out Saturday night caught a cooler full of spots,gray trout,speckled trout,blues,Spanish, huge pompano,black and red drum.
Good dinner and some healthy snook! A Win! ♥
Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed!!
That live scope thing looks awsome. Youll have to give an instruction video on how to use it.
Not the best way to start the day but good recovery! Haha
As always, very well put together video, no fluff straight to the good stuff. Nice catches.
HYPED FOR BRAZIL. 💪🔥
At first I thought you were doing the releasing of the boat and had some hotshot move with the spot lock lol.
Hahaha nope 🤣
Rich forgot to put it in park!!! 😂😂😂
Nice Snook!
Thanks!!!
Hey rich live the videos! Hope to be able to fish Florida keys someday! I’m northwest got a lot of halibut lings and rockfish. Just wondering what baitcasting reel are you using with the white handle?
Nice man! God Bless an safe travels to Brazil. Hope u catch a 40 inch Peacock Bass. On top.
Thanks so much!! I’m not really going to target Peas. My goal is the Golden Dorado freshwater fish 😎 🎣 tight lines!
Safe travels enjoy your trip to brazil❤
Thanks so much!!!
lol what a start
Hahaha I know right. I kinda turned it around.
Awesome video rich! Love the shirt, where’d you get it from?
Rich I've been fishing the Keys for a living for almost 20 years and have had 1000 encounters with Flipper eating my fish/bait but never once have I hooked one or even heard of one hooked. Their echo location shows them exactly where that hook is its crazy
Yeah that is amazing. Super smart and very attuned creatures!
Yeah they are nuts man grab a 40 pound king and give you back the lips with the hook
And that my friends is why you keep your Ulterra remote with you when launching. 😜😜😜
damn bro you live in palm city ? didn’t know would love to come out and join you next time.

Man you put the work into your videos! I love it! Info on your boat? Year model length?
Thanks
Thanks so much! I’m glad you enjoy. It’s a 24ft fishmaster. Discontinued so you’ll have to look on eBay or Facebook marketplace to find one.
Hey Rich, What is the yr make and model of your boat? is it a twin hull?
Nice vids ! What net are you using ?
What camera setting are you using ? Thanks
Thanks Rich, for some sanity in an insane world.
Eat more 🐟 🐟🐟🎃🇺🇸
Hahaha will 🤙🏻I had some tripletail recently and it was delicious!
Hahahaha - love it
What is the range on that trolling motor remote?
It has probably about a 40 yard range. But I didn’t have it in my pocket and when launching. Also sometimes it gets stuck when deploying. So I don’t trust it enough to rely on it while launching.
Isurance maybe. test before launch?@@FishAholicTV

From what I’ve heard from locals it’s gotten worse. Some think there are to many sharks. Idk. Maybe a local Floridian will chime in.
@@FishAholicTV Thanks. I was born/raised in FL but left the state years ago. I don't recall this being a "thing" back then ... but again, it wasn't my focus either - soooo.

Used your trolling motor at the ramp, drive the boat with it
What’s the lure that was used for snook?
like for the boat rescue operation
Please go close when talking about something on the screens TX funny start😆
Are you going to fish in Brasil?
Wet Fisherman, lucky Fisherman
Did you figure out why your truck started to roll back?
It just slid on the slime on the ramp I’m pretty sure.
There was a lot of growth. Maybe it was a rainy weekend so a lot of people didn’t launch for a few days. Typically this ramp isn’t that slippy. But this day I had to hold on to the truck just to walk to the tongue of the trailer to hook it back up. Or I would have slipped. It was like black ice.
What is the purpose of using such a long leader while fishing for those fish ?
They can be extremely line shy. The water is extremely clear sometimes while offshore there.
The inshore fishing can save you a lot of money on (boat) gas; but the condition of the inshore environment sucks. Try to imagine what fishing Charlotte, or Tampa Bay would have been like 150 years ago! As a young guy I could always scare-up a stringer of reds or trout in the bay. Today it's very spotty. Offshore the scene has suffered from over-fishing at times but the condition of the stock is improving.
Por que no usa una linga de acero para que no le corten la linea(?
Change your bait pump or preferably a new round live well to double your catch. Your mullet have red noses
You need a real live well to double your catch. Live well needs to be round with good water pump
Did you know that experiments which removed a predatory fish’s eye sight or lateral line function, the fish without eyesight could still easily catch its prey, but those without lateral line function could not successfully catch their prey?
When are the powers that be address the shark problem ?
Hahaha idk 🤷🏻♂️
Tie your leash to the trailer wench. Keep rope straight down the middle of the trailer, as you pull trailer out rope stays attached and is easily grabbed.
Only swim if you forget to tie or rope breaks.
Props for showing and not editing out funny stuff.
Good
7 .10 AM from Memphis Tn
Awesome!! Thanks so much!!
Reminds me of when my buddy and i where fishing from bridge piling and he didnt tie off the gheeenue good enough by the time we looked back boat was gone at 2 am had to walk to mangroves to get to the boat and swimm out to it in the Myakka river super sketchy
Could you keep the mutton or no?
Yes the season was open. I could have kept both of them the limit is 5 at 18” and up. I only wanted to keep one.
Anyone know what kind of Penn he was using to catch bait ?
It’s just a Tsunami Evict actually. Not a Penn
4000 size.
@@FishAholicTV thanks so much 🫡🔥
Is there a reason why you don't eat snook, one of the best tasting fish around
👍
I'm first to the video
🏆
Hahaha thanks so much!!!
@@FishAholicTV You're welcome
Were is this
Nice job w the snook ! Didn't know you could target them w sonar. The sharks and cuda SUCK.
Keep videos coming out of Martin County! But, If you're gonna catch bait atleast stringers on sabikis, you wanna be up and down, not casting 40yrds... An if you wanna catch bait like commercial fisherman get like 9ft pole and tie 2 sabiki rigs together. Much respect though, I appreciate you making video. OMG, that spot is a no go with that many cudas, that almost bad is the unchecked sharks in area 😂... Keep videos going, I'll follow you
Yo, what kinda rod & reel (bait caster) you using? What's the speed on that reel too?
