Man I'm just sittin here eating a roast beef sammy and watching FishAholic. I am very content with life right now. Your Florida Keys videos are always my favorite.
@@FishAholicTV I have them off a dock where I stay often, and they will not hit when I use heavier tackle. They are fighting off the Snappers to get to the bait, and if they hesitate because they see or sence that heavier braid then you catch a 10" M snapper instead. Great battle and you having to control a kayak forward, reverse side to side all while fighting a fish in strong current and wind was crazy.
Gets some Columbia pants they also have sleeves that detach turns them into shorts with that water resistant material like swim shorts. hope that helps !!
Yeah I've been bald headed for a long time I went out on the lake in August never been sunburned from fishing but I did that day I come home and took a shower went to bed and when I woke up oh my God
I bought some R.O.W. pants a while back and they have been very comfortable while fishing all hours of the day. They are a mixed material made of mostly spandex and they have a elastic waistband with a drawstring. Super comfortable and even the black pair that I have are very cool during that midday heat. Highly recommend.
Rich, I feel like I live vicariously through your show. Watched you for a number of years now but never commented. You always work hard to find your fish. Your passion for the sports is genuine. Loved the Goliath grouper! I lived in Florida for a couple years and loved it. Now I am in CA but I would love to move back to Florida one day when kids are in out of college and buy a house there. Keep them coming. Your one of my favorite RUclipsr! Love your videos!
@@FishAholicTV I am more familiar with the Sarasota and SK specifically. I was stationed in Tampa but did little fishing then. It will be interesting to see what locations you fish.
I remember all the times fishing in key west. Whatever that bridge is on eagle Ave where that canal runs through the island is LOADED with mangrove snappers 12+ inches and they're schooling in the hundreds last time I was there. Key west is just different lmao. So many fish.
Rich get the underarmour heat man leggings. I use them when I ref soccer in the summer and early spring and late fall. Also in CT that sun gets hot and I use those as well. Helps a lot with the sun
Awesome video Rich!! That grouper was nice !! But what got me was how you where controlling your kayak you can see all your experience in this video awesome job Rich!! looking forward for the next one!! Stay blessed
Just a suggestion but you’re supposed to put sunscreen on prior to being on the water. You can reapply as needed. Seems to work better for me. Cheers brother!🍻🤙. And Great catch on the Goliath!
Good morning Rich!!!!! Really Enjoy your videos and look forward to them everytime you post!!!! On yesterday's video you spoke about the sunburn in you legs and I wanted to comment on that!!! I have a few pairs of the Columbia long leg pants that the lower section are attached by a zipper. These are made of the very light fast drying material and are great for Kayaking/fishing!!!! I buy them at Bealls!!! Check them out!!!! Good luck and tight lines!!!
Rich if it gets windy over on the west side out by Fort Desoto there are a few creeks and Boca Ciega Bay and I have done good on Snook Flounder and Reds in there when it howling on the big water
Hey Dave thanks. I actually ended up fishing a couple days in Fort Desoto. Found fish but didn't catch much inshore until I went out in the Bay on and got on a great bite of Tripletail and a decent grouper. I'll be out there soon though. Working hard to edit the videos.
@@FishAholicTV right on man!! I am from Jensen but have spent a bunch of time over there Yak fishing and have had great luck with the Snook (not like our sizes) and Reds with some dandy flounders but Tripletail and Groupers??? Awesome!!! I have caught some juvenile Jewfish in that creek behind the fort that empties into Boca Ciega and in the winter have found some epic Trout fishing in the bay. That Riptide or whatever shrimp you like in white with chartreuse tail is for some reason the absolute juice over there. The water around Shell Key a short paddle off Pass A Grille is killer man!!! Big Mangroves and Pompano. Catch em up brother
Great Video As Always Rich..Love The Keys,, An Absolute Fisherman's Paradise..I Truly Hope That You Surprise Us & Stay For A Third Day..That Would Be Awesome. 🌴🐡🐙🦈🐟🐠🌴
Love your videos. New to the channel, glad I found you! I'll be moving to Florida this fall and have lived in the PNW my whole life so the fishing is very different. Loving what I'm seeing!
*Was that a hammerhead shark?!* Man fishing the ocean would be sweet!!! Just bought my first spinning reel setup. Shimano Nasci 2500 something on a cheap blue Shimano med/fast rod. Nice setup for my first real fishing reel… haven’t fished since I was a kid using the push button casting reels Edit: Also as a beginner fisherman what kind of gloves are those? I’m looking for gloves to help me from getting my palm’s cut as I don’t have experience handling fish out of water. I’m fishing in Western New York so freshwater only. But if I catch a pike or something I don’t want to get sliced and also don’t want to ruin the fish membrane. I bought a pair that look like yours but they’re fingerless but more for the sun protection. Yours looked cut resistant
Wow what an awesome fishing video. Definitely one of your bests! That grouper was an awesome catch dude. How much did it weigh?? Can’t wIt till the next video. I am. Huge fan of the channel!
I live close to the keys and I’m trying to find pilchards with my kayak. Learning to cast net my own bait bc of prices. What do you look for to find pilchards (greenies) where you're fishing?
Well, you certainly weren't expecting that! How old was that Goliath, you think? I'm sure it's lived its entire life under that boat/dock area. What a catch!
Another awesome video rich! That grouper was sick! We have a ton of good little ship spots for snapper down here by us in Fort Myers/Estero area - would love to have you down at some point to collab and show you our area! Tight lines man 🤙🏼🎣
Great video. Do you plan to go out for a goliath grouper kayak session at one of those big bridges with some heavier setup? Would be awesome!! I think a lot of people would love to see that. I mean sure, you cant catch one of a few hundret pounds with the kayak, but maybe still a quite big one! Greetings from europe
Hmm maybe 15 or 20lbs max. No matter the size they are strong fish haha. Hopefully I'll get on some gag grouper or black grouper next time so I can keep one for the table.
lol if you fished a 12 hour day the day before in the hot sun. Took a two hour nap in the car then fished till sunrise and then started to fish to film this video and spent another 10 hours in the hot sun. You might be doing the same. Cut me some slack lol. This is Fishaholic Fishing not fish two hours and go home.
@@FishAholicTV probably the best response you can give and big props for fishing that long, as a kid whos only obsession is fishing I dont think I could do 10 hours and definitly not 12. Respect.
Always grab fish behind the upper neck area as close to the head as possible to control the head so you don't get bit !!!!
Always no matter how big
Exactly just bellow the head you have to control the head
100% he's grabbing that shark far too low on any fish particularly with teeth grab it high control the head, a bigger shark lean on its head
Rich, get some zip off pants at Bass Pro or some outdoors shop. That’s what I use. Light weight and dry quick and turn in to shorts. Nice grouper!!!
Good job son good fishing good luck 👍
Awesome Grouper!
Love your videos
Man I'm just sittin here eating a roast beef sammy and watching FishAholic. I am very content with life right now. Your Florida Keys videos are always my favorite.
Bassdash makes nice and affordable lightweight/water resistant pants. Shirts as well.
Your kayak skills getting that Goliath up were very impressive! Nice job getting that grouper!
wow awesome mangrove in between those boats 👍great meal🎣
It’s a good day when fishaholic post 😎
That was a fantastic job fighting the G Grouper. I would bet 99 out off 100 lose that fish when in a kayak with those conditions. Excellent job!
Thanks John! I definitely had a little luck and it seems it didn't have much to wrap me around. Next time I'll try with heavier tackle hahaha
@@FishAholicTV I have them off a dock where I stay often, and they will not hit when I use heavier tackle.

Hey,Rich, I was out on my SUP riding waves near the FP Jetty, and got into a huge school of Mullet and there were Tarpon the size of you and me!
Dude just landed a 32" goliath in the pilings on 10# braid! 😎
I live in Saint Pete, near Tampa. If you’re coming this way, holler if you want someone to fish with. I also fish from Hobie
Awesome Video today, the Goliath was awesome!! Thanks
Love watching these when I get some down time in college!
Never misses good vid
Hi Rich, if you get a chance, fish Ding Darling in Sanibel. Great vid as usual.
Great vídeos and great Chanel. Subscrived. Regards from Portugal
Love your Florida keys episodes
Rich, great day of fishing. The snappers can not resist the greenies.
That was pro fishing there! You stayed calm and focused especially with the gear you were using. Impressive. Well done Rich!
Hahaha thanks Tom!! Tight Lines!
Another beautiful day for fishing and enjoying God's beautiful nature
Yeah I've been bald headed for a long time I went out on the lake in August never been sunburned from fishing but I did that day I come home and took a shower went to bed and when I woke up oh my God
The older you get the more your oil runs out
Mangroves have a underrated fight. And easily one of the best tasting fish in the ocean. Great video you always grind out your days
Nice video rich!!
Thanks so much!
Big reds are starting to come in over here on the west coast! This is the time to get on em.
Great video. Not sure why but I've only ever caught Cuda and sharks on the flats in the middle keys.
You sure put in the work. You earn all the fish you catch.
DAMMMMMNNN RICH !!!! That was a rad fight on your first Goliath grouper!!! Love your videos bud.
what a save and catch. Awesome control of fish and yak.
I bought some R.O.W. pants a while back and they have been very comfortable while fishing all hours of the day. They are a mixed material made of mostly spandex and they have a elastic waistband with a drawstring. Super comfortable and even the black pair that I have are very cool during that midday heat.

Awesome !!!!
Great video. Love to see when someone catches a grouper. Love that fish.

Awesome Rich!
Great you are going to west side!! I have fished siesta key and the parks under the bridges.
Yeah I just got finished with that fishing mission and it was pretty cool definitely have to go back. Working hard now to edit the videos!
@@FishAholicTV I am more familiar with the Sarasota and SK specifically. I was stationed in Tampa but did little fishing then. It will be interesting to see what locations you fish.
Great video Rich.
Thanks so much! I hope you are catching!
Great video Rich. I’m headed to Marathon in a couple of weeks. Can’t wait to get out on the yak and play with a few !
I remember all the times fishing in key west. Whatever that bridge is on eagle Ave where that canal runs through the island is LOADED with mangrove snappers 12+ inches and they're schooling in the hundreds last time I was there. Key west is just different lmao. So many fish.
Awesome 🤙🏻. They were really tasty! It was good I kept some because it hit the spot when I got home really late and was starving haha.
Already know its gonna be a great video !!!
Rich get the underarmour heat man leggings. I use them when I ref soccer in the summer and early spring and late fall. Also in CT that sun gets hot and I use those as well. Helps a lot with the sun
Great video😁
Broad brimmed hat Rich! Dermatologists ain't cheap. Check out the Tilley hat.
Great job on the Goliath man! Such a cool catch and a good job in the battle. That’s why kayak fishing is so fun
Great day Rich.. as usual you put it all out there for our entertainment and we loved it.. thanks
Thanks so much Vinny really glad you enjoyed!!
Great video, what's your favorite area in Florida to fish if you had to pick one.
Awesome video Rich!! That grouper was nice !! But what got me was how you where controlling your kayak you can see all your experience in this video awesome job Rich!! looking forward for the next one!! Stay blessed

Congrats on your goliath

Good dinner buddy 👍👍👍...

Great Video As Always Rich..Love The Keys,, An Absolute Fisherman's Paradise..I Truly Hope That You Surprise Us & Stay For A Third Day..That Would Be Awesome. 🌴🐡🐙🦈🐟🐠🌴
Thanks again for the great video. nice grouper on light tackle 👏. God Bless and stay safe 🙏
You should turn your giveaways into fishing trips with local fans👀
Have you ever tried the SPF 50 leggings/leg sleeves?
Love your videos. New to the channel, glad I found you! I'll be moving to Florida this fall and have lived in the PNW my whole life so the fishing is very different. Loving what I'm seeing!
nice fight brother!!!!
Thanks Nathan!!
Hey Rich what was your live well setup you used in this video? Very interested as I have a kayak as well. Thanks!
I really like your Kayak - what model is that? Tricked out what is the cost?
Surprised no one said anything to you being so close to the boats.
Almost first…about to watch this banger vid Rich
Thanks so much for tunin in!!
Nice grouper
Holy cow... Sweet grouper.

Wow what an awesome fishing video. Definitely one of your bests! That grouper was an awesome catch dude. How much did it weigh?? Can’t wIt till the next video. I am. Huge fan of the channel!
Lots of gabbing little catchin
I'm a big fan of you＋👍🔔
Glad to hear! thanks so much for watching!!
CHYEAH BUDDY NICE 🎣🎣🎣
I live close to the keys and I’m trying to find pilchards with my kayak. Learning to cast net my own bait bc of prices. What do you look for to find pilchards (greenies) where you're fishing?
Nice limit off mangroves and goliath. That sord knife seems to be holding up pretty good. Great video
you need to go to ozelo for a few trips
Well, you certainly weren't expecting that! How old was that Goliath, you think? I'm sure it's lived its entire life under that boat/dock area. What a catch!
let me put you on Patagonia Terrebonne joggers - best fishing pants
Cool thanks for the tip. I'll look them up. Thanks!
Suhweet! 😉♥

What hook box is it that you use?
Hey rich do you think a Calcutta 400b would be good for like redfish
Yeah I don't see why not. Probably best for chunking or live bait
