    In this video I set out with the goal to kayak fish the entire 7 Mile Bridge in the Florida Keys in one day from Little Duck Key to Marathon and back!! It wasn't easy especially with the short winter time days but I stayed on the move the whole day and put the kayak over some fish!!

    Watching you fight the Goliath and the way it was behaving and WHERE you are... I knew... I knew the men in gray suits were around... You can actually get ate there... Like Kayak and all, that is Jurassic park sir... Had quite a few fish eaten literally from my hands lol. You are brave... There is an 18 foot Hammer that likes to roam that area and they play for keeps... Be safe and careful.

    Nice Rich! Come on down to Fort Myers and fish on our boat sometime brother, would be honored to do a collab with you! We have an awesome fishery down here. Safe travels out there and tight lines 🤙🏼🎣

    @rlk5709 Před rokem +33

    wow! I’m dead after a couple of miles, can’t believe you fished as heavy as you did AND peddled (if my math is correct) 14+ miles! You’re incredible dude! Almost had another shark episode let’s not forget eh? We have the great white sharks here in the California central coast, so far no problem…….yet. Love the vids, well done!

    • @miamiwax5504
      @miamiwax5504 Před rokem +1

      Yeah that's easy 2.5 hours each way not including fishing. Maybe even worse if the current is ripping.

    • @rlk5709

      I’m 73 years old, and it doesn’t take much anymore to wear me out, been kayaking since 1994 and really don’t have any reason to stop now, watching you young guys constantly raising the bar keeps me thinking young, tight lines!

  • @MassNBass
    @MassNBass Před rokem +10

    You got guts my friend - looks like one shark encounter will not deter you from catching bigger groupers. Stay safe and tight lines!!!!

    • @joejoerobinson8724
      @joejoerobinson8724 Před rokem

      I mean to be killed by a shark on a kayak is pretty unlikely, for someone to hang up their fishing rod because of that you have to be a pretty big Puss Wuss

  • @gregweller416
    @gregweller416 Před rokem +10

    Having fished it many times, that 7 mile bridge is an awesome piece of fish structure. Ya just never know what’s lurking beneath the surface there. Great fishing!

    • @bethmulligan2588

      So true...Great structures...I've had to maneuver quite a few off of it...

    Epic nicely done (just do half way trips) First of all the opening sequence was awesome and the place was crawling with fish.. Great action Big grouper that shark also looked big good thing it wasn't hungry, really good all around action I like those lures you have I'm partial to surface (shallow) rapala and the popper as well (those have been good to me)

    Great kayaks for my kids! We may replace the paddles at some point, but they are perfect starter kayaks for them... and my husband and I enjoyed taking them out too!

  • @justinlovett8297
    @justinlovett8297 Před rokem

    Watching the drone footage was crisp and clear. The 7 mile bridge is an accomplishment in it self to go back in a single day while fishing and trolling. That’s a feat in its own.
    Catching Goliath groupers are long and straining endurance especially when they take you in structures like around that bridge. Waiting patiently for them to come out. Saving them from being eaten by a shark that was epic.
    I was completely stoked about ramp you launched your kayak from.
    In Spring of 2014 I pulled in my first 4ft. nurse shark on that exact spot. After removing my hook and every other hook that was in the shark’s mouth. The release was just as smooth.
    Love the material in your videos.
    Don’t know if you can reveal the artist/song singing in the beginning of your video. My wife asked me if you could. We both watch and dream of returning every year.
    Thanks for sharing your experiences on CZcams it is much appreciated!

    Damn Rich! One of your Canadian followers here: dude your kayak/Keys videos are THE BEST out there! You and Sammy Davis Jr, the hardest working men in show biz! Thought we were going to get a mirror image kayak-side shark attack like last year.. you have some serious cahones. Don’t get eaten and keep those great videos coming. PS your somewhat “disappointing” day would have been a show stopper for most of us.
