This was a very special video for me to create and I hope that shows in the final product. What do you all think about the state of this fishery? I'm open to all comments and criticisms 👇
Growing up here and hearing the stories of the 80-90 and even the 2000s to the last 5 years where is been slowing down more and more also with me fishing the piers hard this year and only hearing of /seeing 6 fish hooked and 3 landed 2 of which where undersized which from what i heard used to be a slow day if you saw that many in one day makes me think that the fishery is over fished and maybe the fish are adapting and changing there migration/ travel patterns
also hear a lot of guys suggest closing the season for a couple years to help improve it
So Glad for ya bro!. Wish it would have Won!! As far as the Fisheries 😢😢😢. When i was in my early 20's you couldn't throw a bait in the ocean, without catching at Least a Catfish or pin fish. Unfortunately?, now days you can go to the surf or a pier and set there for Hrs without a Bite! Soooo Sad! 😢 You Really have to Search for a place that has a Fish! When i was 20 and swimming on Any beach!, i would see Tons of Fish. Oil spills, plus runoffs causing growth of Red tide has Mostly been the causes of tons and tons of our Fish losses! I have seen their Populations drop dramatically after these. And Now, the shark populations have been over protected for Way too long! Like everything in life, there Must be Balance. I hate to say it, but... too many sharks and Too many Big Old Goliath Groupers are decimating the other fish populations. They need to be reduced so balance can be restored
It’s great that you can show the fun part of catching fish and also incorporate the important information behind the fish stock and the population size. I think it’s a great way to show people how things are going or what’s going on in your local ecosystem/ all around fish stocks, it allows people to learn more about what’s going on in a different way than reading a boring article. Videos like this are part of the awmser to help raise awareness to what’s going on while still enjoying a great fishing vid👍🏼
I'm sorry I would have begged to let it go
Take chewed up Gulp baits and keep them in the Gulp juice bag and when you need pinfish just cut tiny pieces off the old Gulp and put it on your small goldie hook or sabiki rig and reel em up 4 or more at a time. Works like a charm. 👍🏻
Agreed it stays on the hooks good too
Bits of shrimp are crack to lys, work better than just the lure on the sabikis
@Redneck Chess yeah not around here as much as other places for some reason
Very proud to see other CZcamsrs talking about conserving our gamefish. Thanks for doing what you do Ryan! My first cobia ever was around 50lbs and I sight fished it in about 3 feet of water off a manatee while fishing for redfish / speckled trout 😂🙌🏽
Man we normally fish the 26’ and under in Boshamps but didn’t this year. That’s epic that you came to our area to fish the tournament. It’s crazy that one fish that met the weight requirement one it all. I doubt they do the tourney next year. And your captain is 100% correct since the oil spill the cobia fishing hasn’t been the same here.
WoW! Thanks for another great video Ryan! You know this was special to me as well. I'm the guy who commented in the last video you caught a Cobia in. I'll refresh your memory. In 1985 I was fishing from the Commercial Blvd. Pier in Ft Lauderdale, when a Manta Ray that was so big it had to fold its wings up to fit between the pilings, a bunch of kids on the pier started yelling "Cobia Cobia" one of them cast a lure to it, and landed a 40lb Cobia! I was 23 yrs old back then, living in my 1st apartment @ 51st and Bayview. I'd love 2 sea some kind of stocking program for Cobia. When you guys saw that Manta Ray, I had a flashback to being on that pier!.....jimi
I always appreciate a good cobia story! Thanks for sharing Jimi!
Great vid, showed the fishing process and also included info about the Cobia stocks and current population. The best way to keep these fish around is for people to be informed about what’s going on and possible solutions to help in the future. I love the mix between fun and facts great work 10/10😁
Another great video, Ryan. You're on a creative roll. Congrats on catching a couple of fish during those three days, because you were fishing in a watery desert. I moved up to Navarre, FL from Palm Beach County six years ago with high hopes of experiencing this region's legendary cobia spring migration. Every year since, I've seen fewer and fewer cobia caught off the Navarre Beach Pier each season until it hit rock bottom in 2023. I fished nearly every day from mid-March through the end of April and saw only four fish caught during that six-week period. That's so disheartening. I heard only two fish were weighed in during the Boshamps' tournament you fished and for 31 boats, that says it all. Clearly, the migration pattern here in the Florida Panhandle has changed for some reason, since there are plenty of fish being seen and caught elsewhere. Do I think the species has been over-fished -- absolutely! Will the cobia fishery here ever return to a decent level, who knows. The striped bass and bluefish migrations up in New England are known for their peaks and valleys. Maybe that's what the Panhandle is going through. Only time will tell.
Great insight Bob! Only time will tell
Love how the fish is going extinct and you still killed it and ate it
Definitely one of my favorite channels, very well done and every episode feels like a documentary 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks for watching!
Nice video.... Looking forward to your next video with Vic and Brook!,,Thanks for bringing me along!
Glad you came to our Panhandle of Florida Ryan. I fish Okaloosa Island pier and Navarre Pier religiously. Cobia fishing means the world to us over here. Tarpon is right after that. Come on over here in mid June and join us for some Tarpon fishing off the pier. Great video, thank you!
Would love to hit the tarpon fishery one year!
So glad to see our Panhandle getting some great videos lately. Congrats to everyone involved
Ryan I want to thank you for your educational teaching. I appreciate your love for conservation. Keep going
You have great content man .I love the edits and cinematic quality to your intros. Makes me want to fish brother thanks great job.👍
Great video Ryan! You had 2 beautiful fish caught. Way to go. I’ve said before that you may want to shorten your videos so you could post 2 shorter ones, but this one meant so much to you personally, that I understood the length. Great job!
The tacos + that you made with Christina looked delicious and I’m sure your plate looked and likely tasted better with the colour & acidity of the tomatoes.
Thanks for sharing, especially a very personal interest of yours. Keep them coming!
Your plate looked way better Ryan! And yes, team tomato.
Dude the grind was real 🥵. Well done sir! I am unable to speak intelligently about cobia. I have never boated a keeper. It’s on my bucket list.
Six pounds short but… the team fought well. Awesome video! Kind of a reality check. I can’t wait to see what happens in Panama! I’ve been patiently waiting for a post.
Stay safe out there brother.
PS. Hanging with Vic, your plating skills are getting better.
GREAT VID. HI CRISTAL!!LOOKING FORWARD TO MORE GREAT VIDS AND YES!!!!!!
Good video bud. Love that you explain the fishery in detail to people to understand the fish better and how you target them.
Thanks for watching!
@@RyanMorie
Christina puts a grain of rice on plate.
Comments: Christina's plate looked better than Ryan's!
Destin is my Hometown, bro! I absolutely remember the Cobia "golden" days. Hopefully my daughter will get to experience a fishery that I once did. Make Cobia great again! Lol I love your content and look forward to meeting you in the future 🤙
Awesome video guys. Great information given and great fishing. 2 thumbs up!👌👍👍
Great trip with a hulluva crew! Great meeting you ryan, glad you were able to take a trip on the fever reliever. ☺️
It was awesome meeting you all too!
Okay I’m 15 minutes in after the catch and I’m into it. The narration is very good and the information I appreciate. Okay pause off and here we go Ryan.
Awesome video! I had a trip booked with finao in the Chesapeake area a few years ago that had to be cancelled due to an offshore hurricane that fish is still on my bucket list!
That was an amazing video!! ❤ A great channel. And cooking and eating is always 👌 🔥 😋
Dude your videos are so well put together, thanks for the great content
Thanks man! Trying to get better 🍻
Loved the video Ryan, but I have two questions. Don’t you have to use circle hooks in florida with live (natural) bait? And what are they doing gaffing a fish that’s 1 inch away from legal. What if it was under?
Nice video. I live in the Pensacola area and for the past few years have been catching cobia in the 36” to 48” range on various wrecks 8 to 10 miles offshore - late April to late May. We will typically fishing with live cigar minnows or hardtails on a flatline while using a virtual anchor in 75 to 100 foot of water. These wrecks hold a lot of bait sized fish which bring in the cobia. Unfortunately you have to fight off the AJs, red snapper and sharks as well.
Being a gulf coast native it’s cool seeing the waters I grew up on being showcased!
Well at least you had 3 days of fun fishing. I was hoping this video was going to be the winner of the tournament. Oh well. Can't win all the time.
Thanks for the video.
🤜🌟🤛🐟🐋🎣🐠
"This video is an epitome of brilliance, it's absolutely mesmerizing!"
I’m from Destin and king fishing used to be amazing. I live in VA beach it is amazing here. I’m moving to Melbourne in July and I’m going to miss the fishing here but I’m excited about the new adventure down there. Hope to see you on the water. Cheers!!!!
I was just fishing in destin last week had a kobia on right at the very end. If we had more time maybe could have gotten him in
another banger, ryan. cant wait to get on some cobia this summer myself out here in southeast tx 🤙
Good luck to you!
The moritorium makes sense,18 months,and the farming thing and restocking idea is insanely a great approach
Nice, Ryan.The large Cobia I have caught went nuts at the surface. Cobia rock! Regards from N.Palm Beach!
Thanks for watching!
I drive 3hrs every weekend just about to fish the beautiful carolina coast. Cobia are a rarity, ive only seen one caught near me. and ive never gotten one to hit my lure, thats awesome!
Stoked you could get over here to Pensacola boss man! Absolutely love Cobia fishing, heard so many stories of the good ole days and hopefully one day will be able to experience it like it was back in the day!
Thanks for watching! It’s a situation that I think can be fixed. We’ll see what happens
@@RyanMorie so many of the up and coming fisherman around this area care a lot about the Cobia population and I think we’re moving in the right direction for sure! Great video brother can’t wait to see what you get into next!
Hey Brother to Brother, Men of God. This is a 🆕 day and a different way of living. Much Love as I know that you will understand. God bless you, your family and friends, and may us all have a wonderful blessed weekend. ❤🙏
Your plate looks Awesome my man! Your's wins. 👍 I use to Gate tomatoes, now i like, when just some diced pcs added to a dish such as tacos, but still can't handle just eating tomatoes by themselves if uncooked.
Oil spill definitely played a role but everyone keeping breeder cobia that are 50 pounds plus is gonna hurt. Slot size would be nice for cobia. Traveling to Hawaii they usually just keep the babies and let the big breeders go to keep populations high.
Cool adventure!!!
this energy is what i expect!!!!
That charter captain seems like a really laid back and cool guy.
Heyyy my home I live in Pensacola love that pier learned how to fish in it caught my first pompano on it 😁 my dad runs a fishing company here called Pensacola Salt Water Guides
Just found you subscribed way underrated
The vibe of you narrating and the music in the beginning reminded me of Happy Gilmore🤣
When I had my offshore boat we put about 450#s of cobia and we didn’t harvest any fish under 40”and never went over limits. We fished once or twice a week frog the season. That was 2021 off the coast of Georgia
I live in Navarre and fish the piers on the regular. I think I need to take a charter and see what I can get tight on this summer after watching this video.
😢. Well regardless of the $$. And trophies,, thanks for the well thought out info for everyone.
And the groceries looked delicious. Sad there’s no smellavision or better yet-bite thru the screen hahaha.
Almost everything along the East Coast spends time in Chesapeake Bay, and there's always a few who manage to hang out all year; despite the damage done by big business.
ayo im a pensacola native bro cool to see you fishin here
"The Cobia seem to travel with the bullshark." As a spearfisherman in Florida, I can confirm this. Whenever I spot a Cobia while spearfishing, I immediately start to look around for bull sharks in the area and am more careful.
Hey Ryan, fan of the channel enjoy the videos wondering if you can do a bait breakdown on what do you use? Like those big poppers? Any thing else thanks 🙏
I knew I saw y’all! I was filming a video inshore when y’all were headed out the pass, I told my friend I think that’s Ryan Morie 😂
You never know where I’ll turn up next!
Woww..that’s huge mate
At 17:15 seems to highlight need to bleed and iki jime them.
I purchased a $6ish ice pick anvil pommel ice pick and had some 1mm (. 8 to 1.2mm good I think) nitinol wire. Cheap and best thing you can do for fish to eat
Congratulations on pulling that Cobia fish , Ryan . It's marvelous seeing one since I've never heard or seen one up until you caught it . Thank you Ryan for sharing your experience with us .
Do you live under a rock?
Pretty sure we passed you guys at the Pass. Cobia fishing has been slower in the past 4-5 years that I have been involved in the fishery. Never heard the BP theory... I personally think its overfishing and the increases regulations are a good thing.
Beautiful fishing spot , lovely fishing dude l❤v frm India
Definitely a different definition of Mudshark than I've ever heard 🤣
Prayers for Robert.
Crystal clear drone shots look great! What kind of drone??
Really bad cold freeze south plus the red tide develops from the Mississippi River cold fronts push it down up against the Florida coast . If there migrating east to west dead zones will affect that .
Team Tomato’s. Ryan won this round Cz we didn’t really get to see Christina’s Cz she ate it too quick 😁
I would’ve done the same Cz the food’s looked phenomenal guys!!! Y’all please keep the videos coming
Awesome fish man
Thanks for watching!
the man in the brown suit my #1 really a fun catch in the Va waters
Trying to get up there this summer!
Love tomatos!!!! And cilantro!!!
Nice video
use an ice cream scooper for the rice if you like a nicer presentation or a small bowl to mold
I remember when I was a kid in the late 60s befottr Camile I went out of Biloxi in the Mississippi sound we came up on a shrimp boat that crew was sleeping because they shrimp all night we gave the captain some beer and tied up and about 50 to 70 feet down three was a bunch of Ling swimming around the boat and we tore them up that was the first time fishing in the gulf
Big fish
there have been a few big ones in Okaloosa pier
Well it was a close one Ryan go back the next time I think you all can win good job
awesome catch and cook , #teamtomatoes
Biggest issue with farmed fish or stocked fish is the inbreeding it causes, if you look at stocked trout populations they’re seriously deformed. A few year hold off on keeping them could be a solid solution though
Congratulations, you are a great successful fisherman.
I loved the video.👍🎣🥰
Your fishing gear is fantastic.
Hug!!!
I'm with Christina on the raw tomato, I love tomatoes cooked but Heinz ketchup is best especially when cooked
*makes a video talking about the declining population* *also keeps both of the fish caught*
Up here in Long Island NY we see Cobia in the summer
Heard they started making their way up there in recent years. Very interesting
A lings two favorite foods are small live blue crabs. Nip points off shell. And second they consider Crack is small hard heads or saltwater catfish with spines nipped off. In my 45 yrs of offshore fishing they have never once not taken one of these two baits.
Cobra are really great eating. Yeah they are that good. ❤
I prefer rattlesnake
I SUBSCRIBED
Years past that winning fish would have never placed. It’s getting bad. Everybody talks about how bad it is in Destin but we still go out and harvest them. The best thing would be to shut down cobia for 3-5 years.
I'm with Christina. I totally dislike tomato's. Great video would like to try a 🌮
Go to Crystal river there catching 80+ pounders in 1-2 foot of water
🤘tomato every time
Wish we could’ve popped one on one of your jigs, but I’m glad we at least found a few!
I'm not as big of a fan of the typical diced tomatoes in restaurants, but I thought that those (I wasn't sure if those were Everglades tomatoes or not) were way better. I definitely liked your plating better, Ryan. And that was disappointing to see that your Cobia came up a few pounds short.
a sailfish inshore is so cool
Is this Fish taken by Commercial Fisherman in the Gulf ? Thank You great video
As a fellow fisherman from the Chesapeake Bay, my answer to Cobia is the same as my answer to Striper.
Make New England bend over for once and pull their weight.
nice episode, i was thinking about when your next video was coming. Question, why dont you guys just keep a cheap scale on the boat, like the Rapala or Berkley ones?, just to get an idea?
We literally did but forgot to get fresh batteries for it… honest mistake
@Ryan Morie okay. Gotcha buddy. Just curious. Looking forward to the Panama trip.
Need to head to Nc and VA if u want a PB fish
Come Maldives for a video 😅
Ryan come here to Indonesia, Fishing in the Indonesian sea "Raja Ampat"
I see a lot of antlers behind ya on the cupboards by any chance do you do any hunting or film any hunting videos?
Not mine, my roommate hunts a ton though!
I feel like it’s the deadly duo It’s over fishing them. And the oil spill. I’ve never seen someone catch a cobia and throw it back. I feel amazing releasing my 38lb cobia. So thankful. My friends were pissed all I said I caught the fish I get to choose what to do with it and let it swim away because I know they’re numbers are hurt. I can eat some mangrove snappers in the mean time. They’re everywhere
4:56 sv seeker!!
Your plate won ryan lol
I got my dd214 while I was with 3rd bn and went straight to UF too 😂😂
Haha I graduated UF and went to OCS after. Now I make YT videos and don’t use the degree 😅
Great video very educating
Thanks for watching!
