    I will say, it’s pretty damn amazing how one guy in a gheenoe with standard equipment can make a 1/2 hr video that blows away anything on tv. No camera crew, extra boats, or any of it. Well done my dude.

    I have thousands of hours watching fish vid and been watching yours for some time now. This is maybe my second comment ever. But I just have to give you huge props. Not only is this an epic video but the class and respect you have for the sport is second to none. Love how you not only blow the doors off every yt wannebe on a consistent basis but you prove it can be done with zero exploitation of the animal. You keep it real by not editing out mistakes and show the true work ot takes to do what you do. Keep grinding and keep showing the next generation how it should be done. The sport needs more fishers like you. Mad respect.

    went fishing out of La Paz, Baja Sur. We kept the bait alive by stopping and bailing out some water and putting more back in every 5-10 min. or so. did not even have a bait bucked, used the front compartment of the Panga with the drain plugged.

    You are the #1 inshore CZcamsr now. Great fishing action and doing it from a Gheenoe Highsider makes even a greater trophy for all of us to watch. I have great confidence that my Gheenoe LT25 can do more than I gave it credit for. WAO! And BTW, all of that was done at the beach, which technically is entry level near-shore fishing. Right?
