For those interested, I have a video of me catching , cleaning and cooking Gafftop Sail Catfish and they are great. Anyone who says they taste bad either 1) doesn't know how to cook 2) Has never tried one and going off of common opinion, and/or 3) is lying lol They are great ! ruclips.net/video/SY9PDPfJ-zg/видео.html
Thank you for service, Stephen, and God Bless our brothers and sisters who didn’t make it, but gave their lives so that we get to do what we get to do. If the service would take old vets like me, I’d be first in line. Bless you and your family, Stephen, and thank you for your service. And your awesome content. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Hello Stephen….my name is Doug and I watch your channel all the time as it reminds me of home (grew up in St. Petersburg, FL). I now live in MO and do a lot Crappie fishing. Like you, I was in the Army (87-94 UH-60 Blackhawk Mechanic 18th Airborne Corp out of Ft. Bragg, Panama Invasion and Desert Storm). So, from one Veteran to another….Thank you for your Service and HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY….🇺🇸🇺🇸
Crazy, Bull sharks and bass in the same area! Nice specks! Always like seeing a Bama Saltwater video at the top of my feed! Love the message regarding Memorial Day too! Keep em coming Stephen!
Enjoy your videos. Just down fishing w/ Stressed Out Charters 2. Jamie was my Captain, fished Mobile Bay and took home 6 Speckled Trout. Great time! Wanted you to know that you inspired the trip.
Love videos I go fishing and most the time I don’t catch anything but whenever I watch your videos you always catch stuff and then sometimes we go to your spots like the oil rigs
My husband and I watch every video you upload. We really enjoy your channel. I appreciate your “clean” content. Unlike some RUclipsrs in your neck of the woods. We had to unsubscribe from their channels. Keep up the good work!
Wow so glad I found your channel Stephen absolutely enjoy your enthusiasm, editing and informative fishing videos (and how to-rod,tackle,bait,filleting,cooking etc etc so awesome!). Thank you for your service and God Bless you and your family! Happy Memorial Day weekend all!!!
My first time seeing your channel. You're a happy fella...lol... and about 10 minutes into the video, I realized that you wasn't cussing......you wasn't being mean....and I thought...This boy loves Jesus At the end of the video, you said " each and everyone of you"... and I have ever only heard that at Church. I recognized the tree by its fruit - you know what I'm saying!
Happy Memorial Day! Thank you for your service and this channel, I live in Southern Indiana so it’s a good 10-12 hour drive for me to get some salt in my veins.
Happy Memorial weekend!!!!!!! I was out on a charter from Hudson marina and am 99% sure I seen ya bud! best fishing channel out there! I will say the gulf was VISCOUS 5/24 but it was worth it I caught a keeper AJ (first ever also) and holy sweet jeezuz of fish gods hardest fight I've ever had!! came in at 35.5 in and about 30lbs(also made sure all requirements were followed for the harvest). I've been following your channel for about 2 yrs now. THANK YOU for your service and THANK YOU for giving all of us viewers the opportunity to watch great fishing and catch and cook videos. You've got a great channel and will continue to follow if we ever cross paths at any time I owe you a huge THANK YOU!
Love your channel! Iused to live in Gulf Shores on West Beach Blvd but sold my place and moved back home (around Montgomery). I still come down as often as I can but Im working on getting back permanently soon.
What creeks are you fishing? I’m am very interested because I go down to orange beach a lot for vacation and love to inshore and offshore fish but have never inshore fished in Orange Beach. Love your videos and thank you for sharing the information!!
i cant wait to look every day for your videos it is my favorite part of the day more times than not. thank you for your service and for the great content. i hope to one day meet you out in god's beautiful creation
Hey man I appreciate all your videos, learned some good things from you. Taking my son on a fishing trip to Galveston TX soon for some inshore fun we'll be using some of your advice and setups. Thanks
GREAT DAY ON THE WATER. ENJOY THE TROUT FOR LUNCH, REMEMBER THE HERO'S WHO DIED FOR THIS WONDERFUL COUNTRY WE LIVE IN. MAY "GOD" CONTINUE TO BLESS YOUR AND YOURS, MY BROTHER!
Never thought I'd hear you mentioned two of my favorite restaurants. I've caught quite a few sail cats but never eaten one. Too dang slimy. Thank you for your service and for taking us on this fishing trip! I enjoyed the video!
Another great video, Steven. Always enjoy watching your videos seeing as I don’t get to go fishing nowadays due to my ill health, but watching and listening to you is a close second to being able to enjoy it myself. God bless and take care, your friend in Australia 🇦🇺 Rob T
Last June we used a broken popping cork with pinfish behind the boat in the marsh area near Fort Morgan. Three sharks and a couple break offs in about an hour. We were catching a lot of stuff on lures and the shark rod became a nuisance in the small boat.
Man, you'd think you were in South West Florida where I am at with the beautiful houses, nice big docks, and killer fishing. I had no idea the Alabama coast was so fishy. Good stuff.
I was out today. Was pretty sloppy but the water was still clear as can be. We caught a bunch or white trout and a few ground mullet on the Mobile side of the bay. If i had just 1 lure to throw inshore it would be a gulp shrimp on a carolina rig. That Vudu is right up there too tho.
You're the man. I'm going up to Hilton Head tomorrow for a week and I'm gonna toss a vudu shrimp around and see what happens. Our condo is right on a canal but I don't know anything about the area yet, or what I might see.
Awesome almost Bull shark!!! I'm with you !! No rinsing my hands off in the slough water... not with those bad boys hanging around.!!! God bless and Merry Christmas.
WE LOVE WATCHING YOU HERE IN MICHIGAN. YOU ALWAYS HAVE ME RUNNING TO MY TACKLE BOX MAKING SURE I HAVE WHAT I NEED. WE DON'T HAVE THE FISHING QUITE LIKE IN ALABAMA BUT HEY, I'M JUST THANKFUL THAT GOD GIVES ME A CHANCE TO FISH PERIOD. I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU. WERE YOU EVER TAUGHT NOT TO FISH ON SUNDAYS? I ASK BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT I WAS TAUGHT GROWING UP. I JUST WONDERED IF YOU EVER HEARD OF THAT. THANKS FOR ALL YOUR CYBERNETIC CONTENT TOO.
Gaftop are plenty right now in central Texas coast, averaging 4+lbs. fried I bet you couldn’t tell the difference between fresh water of salt water. Oddly the meat grain is identical to speckled trout😟
Gonna be leaving tomorrow to go to orange beach definitely gonna do some inshore fishing around a docks at night and wade fishing in the bay during the day but I really don’t know what I’m doing I talked to you about this last year but forgot what you said you got any pointers for me
Mr Stephen I am going to be in gulf shores and I would like to fish with you at the perdido pass. If you could make it I would love it and if you couldn’t it would be okay
Love your videos Man what you recommend to fish with in the beach in August I'm heading to dauphin Island and want to try some fishing with the kids. Thanks in advance.
I have a video of me catching , cleaning and cooking them and they are great. Anyone who says they taste bad either 1) doesn't know how to cook 2) Has never tried one and going off of common opinion, and/or 3) is lying lol They are great ! ruclips.net/video/SY9PDPfJ-zg/видео.html
@@BamaSaltwater I’m sure they’re edible…to a point. But there are so many more fish that taste better and easy to catch…speckled trout, white trout, redfish, sheepshead, flounder, whiting and so many more. I’m never that desperate to eat a nasty gaff top…I’d rather starve.
@@BamaSaltwater It's pretty much like they are virtue fish in a really crazy kind of way... Salt or fresh water, THEY ARE GONNA EAT... That's the true bottom line, for real...

I thought I saw you at the pier yesterday
Fun little tidbit about the sailcats is that behind their eyes you can find pearls that look like little hersey kisses
@@captaincampalot Do Tell... Thanks for that info Capt...
I'd rate Gafftop as better than a Channel cat but not quite as good as a Blue cat.
Thank you for service, Stephen, and God Bless our brothers and sisters who didn’t make it, but gave their lives so that we get to do what we get to do.

I'm ready for a gaff top catch and cook. You know in the south catfish is KING!😁🐟🐠🎣
Got into the Mangrove Snapper last Monday and Tuesday. Live shrimp and popping corks. Everything eats shrimp
Last June we used a broken popping cork with pinfish behind the boat in the marsh area near Fort Morgan. Three sharks and a couple break offs in about an hour. We were catching a lot of stuff on lures and the shark rod became a nuisance in the small boat.
Man, you'd think you were in South West Florida where I am at with the beautiful houses, nice big docks, and killer fishing. I had no idea the Alabama coast was so fishy. Good stuff.
Yes another Bama video
Great video Bama Lordy from Scotland uk 🐟🎣🏴🇺🇸
Good to see ya.
That was a lot of fun.
Keep doing what you're doing!!

My father was in the military as well. 33 years. Thank you for your service and for having such a dynamite channel🫶🏾
Love these videos keep it up 👍
Good vids man. Appreciate you and your mom for great videos. Love the tee and hat I got for Christmas. The hoodie is a little too hot now.😂
Im down here on vacation and have been watching your vids to learn a thing or two. Going fishing tomorrow so hoping for the best i also subscribed
You could hear the wind vibrating your fishing line and making them ring like a chime.
It was blowing!!!
Epic video as always keep it up your a legend
We got our boat last week and I swear I have caught every sail cat in mobile bay! Only thing we can seem to catch
Thank you for your service
Awesome almost Bull shark!!! I'm with you !! No rinsing my hands off in the slough water... not with those bad boys hanging around.!!! God bless and Merry Christmas.
GREAT VLOG BUDDY!!!

1 of the best eatin fish ever in my opinion those sail cats are awsome can reach 30 lbs
Vudu shrimp for the win!!!!
OMG I'm all good. Great vararity
Amen man!
I love your videos ❤
Great video as always
Looked like a lot of fun. Thanks.
Love your videos
Enjoyed your video 👍
LETS GOOOOOOOO BOUT TO HAVE LUNCH
The first fish I ever caught was a big channel cat. Had no idea fish made noise til I reeled that in!
Love you brother. Channel is awesome!
Gaftop are plenty right now in central Texas coast, averaging 4+lbs. fried I bet you couldn’t tell the difference between fresh water of salt water. Oddly the meat grain is identical to speckled trout😟
Gafftop are excellent eating for sure!! Just slimy suckers
Flounder is my favorite eating fish. If they're legal size they go home with me.
Slimers everywhere!
For sure!! It's that time of year haha!
Love your channel, man!
Thanks!!
Gonna be leaving tomorrow to go to orange beach definitely gonna do some inshore fishing around a docks at night and wade fishing in the bay during the day but I really don’t know what I’m doing I talked to you about this last year but forgot what you said you got any pointers for me
Stop in Hooked Up tackle and see what the latest fishing reports and tackle suggestion is!! They know it ! Best advice I can give !
@@BamaSaltwater thanks I caught a nice flounder the other day off the beach using a paddle Tail
I was hoping you could get a hookup on that shark. You would have had your hands full with it I bet!
Same!!!
Don’t get out of the boat… how appropriate from the movie Apocalypse Now and you with Bull sharks.. happy Memorial Day weekend to all vets! God bless
What’s the best surf fishing app for Florida. Seasons limits dates exact? Thanks

4:06 What is the name of your fishing reel?
Mr Stephen I am going to be in gulf shores and I would like to fish with you at the perdido pass. If you could make it I would love it and if you couldn’t it would be okay
Happy memorial day vets
How common is it for a shark to be inland like that? Great day of fishing man!
Pretty common on the coast!
Love your videos Man what you recommend to fish with in the beach in August I'm heading to dauphin Island and want to try some fishing with the kids.
Thanks in advance.
Pompano rigs, shrimp jigs, and 1 oz diamond jigs or spoons ! A popper if it's calm
Quote of the morning, “sharks and bass!“ 😂
Think the sail cats are trying to volunteer for dinner. I wouldn't mind seeing how you prepare them. Always enjoy your videos.
Gaff top or sail cats are nasty. I know some people eat them, but why. I can catch white trout and whiting all day and they are delicious.
I have a video of me catching , cleaning and cooking them and they are great. Anyone who says they taste bad either 1) doesn't know how to cook 2) Has never tried one and going off of common opinion, and/or 3) is lying lol They are great ! ruclips.net/video/SY9PDPfJ-zg/видео.html

Bing Bong
Thought I saw something about flounder season getting canceled. Fake?
Not in Alabama.
How many sail cats do you have to catch in a row before you think that the next fish might be a sail cat? Lol
one
IKR haha
😂
Great Video....
That's a bull shark for you... They've been found as far north on the Mississippi River in illinois....
Yup! They can tolerate some crazy stuff
@@BamaSaltwater It's pretty much like they are virtue fish in a really crazy kind of way... Salt or fresh water, THEY ARE GONNA EAT... That's the true bottom line, for real...
💕Wow🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡💜
Louisiana fisherman here, and we do NOT like them gaffetops one bit 😂
We used to call them 'Gafftops'.
this up coming weekend ill be in the gulf shore area. i want to fish from the beach what are some good baits. coming from Texas
