I’m not a jealous person but is because Florida have about 65778758788854888484858485 species of fish to catch. Shhiiiiet there invasive species is more exciting than 10 species we catch in NY. If lucky we get an occasional cobia etc
When I grow up (although I'm probably twice your age) I wanna be just like you, you my friend are living the dream and I am envious every day. It's ok still, cause I live vicariously though you, lol
Haha 😆 as I get older though I’m starting be envious of others who have what I don’t so I think it goes both ways. But I’m loving life every second of it on the water.
Nice of you to say where your at! For us that only maybe get to run down there once in a blue moon, it really help to get pointed in the right area. Thanks and Great job.
I’m not doubting that you already know this but I think you keep losing the Tarpon because you don’t bow when they jump. It could also be the fact that they are tarpon and they are hard to hook as well. Anyways awesome video man! So hyped for this video series!
So, for as long as I’ve been a fan and a follower, I always get excited when CZcams notifies me of your newest post. You truly let us feel the experiences as if we’re along for the ride. This was a great day for you...sunshine and quiet waters and lots of fishy business. Thanks as always Rich! State safe and as always LTF...FTL👊🏼
Got into fishing with kayak . Then wanted to follow kayak videos. Yours are great. It’s a great idea to fish different area for us viewers. Like Murielle’s inlet. Thanks Bruce Allen
Gotta get you over to our 30A- Destin area -- when you see the tarpon jump push the rod down towards the fish to give it line and it wont pop the hook as easy. Fun times !
Hey man word of advice for jacks, if u grab them and put a finger on each on of those black spots and squeeze it acts like a pressure point and they won’t flop
Yet to land a tarpon on a kayak. Been pulled around a bunch but they seem to always spit the hook. When they hit the canals where I’m at I’m landing one this year. Epic day keep up the slaying fishing days.
Was just going to suggest collapsable canvas water buckets to slow the YaK down when your Nantucket sleigh riding. Then you put the peddle in reverse. Such efficient rigs. I always had a problem putting the end of the fight pressure on the big fish. Nothing better than exploring the keys on a yak.
I never fished in warm oceanic waters, needless to say, you catch a lot of fish on my bucket list and Tarpon is definitely one of them. Great video and really clear, clean waters!
I have never personally tarpon fished, but everyone says you have to bow to the king (rod tip down when they jump). May help keep more of them hooked! Then again, you do this for a living
When the tarpon jump “bow to the king” or put the rod tip to the water. It will help with the slack and it will be harder for them to spit the hook. The line will raise when they are about to jump that is when you (bow down) or put the rod tip to the water.
Wow thanks Kevin for sticking around and for the kind words! Glad to hear you look forward to new uploads! I love to read these comments because in the end of the day it will give me more motivation. Tight Lines until next time 👍🏻
I’m a huge fan... I’m headed to the Keys to fish in a week and I was 100% inspired by your previous videos, I ordered some Vudu Shrimp too 😉. You also were my inspiration to start Kayak fishing. Keep it up.
The difference between he and most, is this guy knows that we are here to do what we love. When that happens, life takes care of itself. Don’t believe the programming! We deserve as much joy, health and happiness as we can take. Peace to you and yours…
Have to say that Florida is a 10 and cali is a 5 in variety and numbers Even better than MN in my opinion Easy fishing is Tamiami Canal for bass and peacock bass in Spring time. I plan to hit Tampa soon..
There is absolutely no way to be bored in Florida , fishin, sAlt and fresh, spear fishing for tilapia and barramundi , snakeheads , peacock bass in the sewers lol. pythons in the bathroom , gator , яHogzilla, and now suddenly everyone is an iguana hunter . I’d have the coolest apex predator show. Diddlly gonna bite me lol
Thanks Angel! Glad to hear 4 more episodes to come! And more long drag screaming reels as the days go on. I’ve gotta fish Cali one of these days so you got me there.
Great video! I feel like the mangrove snapper down in the keys are way more aggressive than when you find them in other parts of Florida-rare to get one on artificial up on the gulf coast.
I can see how it must b nice to talk and narrate at this moment a singular experience. I fish my whole life. Utube opens doors to guys like this to talk and share his way through a otherwise quiet solace time. He acts like we’re we him. Strange. But cool.
Haha I’ve had a lot of years of practice from standing on slippery wet rocks in rough surf to owning an outback since I was 16. My balance is pretty good and the kayak is like an extension of myself lol 😆
So you want us to buy stuff so you can live the dream, bumming around the keys fishing your heart out rather than being a working stiff, stuxk at home due to COVID. I lived in Bahia Honda park, spearfishing the keys back in the day. Noone paid my way. I think that is rich, Rich.
So hyped for these florida vids
Awesome glad to hear!!

Been trying to come up with a dream yak trip for my wife and I. These vids with actual locations are awesome!

You're a way better fisherman than I am but you gotta bow that rod when they jump! Bow to the king!!
WOW that intro is freaking EPIC! Can't wait for this series :)
Haha thanks glad to hear you liked it!! It’s going to change slightly with every video though because I have some much content. 🤙🏻
@@FishAholicTV stoked!

Exciting footage of hunting those little tarpon!
I love the Florida keys, I used to go there often as a kid on fishing trips. Even when we didn’t catch anything the trip was still well worth it.
Chills down my spine. Only way to describe that little intro! Great work brotha!
Haha awesome! I change slightly with every new episode so look forward to that. I have so much content!

Tarpon are the top of my bucket list. Great action.
You’ve got some precision with your aim, my goodness. Thank you for the upload
Team Vudu for the win... LOL
Vudu Shrimps work great in fresh water too, I use them in Lake Erie with great results...
Good stuff Rich. I'm very much looking forward to this series and your time in Florida.
Thanks Brad!! I’m looking forward to hearing you all enjoyed them and are hungry for more!! Tight Lines!
Super pumped about these keys vids. Ill be down in marathon at the end of next week.
that first tarpon under the bridge was a nice fish
Hey man word of advice for jacks, if u grab them and put a finger on each on of those black spots and squeeze it acts like a pressure point and they won’t flop
Great start
Thanks Pavel! Gets better as the days go on 👍🏻
Tarpon are such cool fish aerial acrobats and even the small ones fight with such vigor
This guy is smart for looking the fishing spot. Bravo
Looking forward to rest of series, always best fishing videos.
Yet to land a tarpon on a kayak. Been pulled around a bunch but they seem to always spit the hook. When they hit the canals where I’m at I’m landing one this year. Epic day keep up the slaying fishing days.
Great video. Thanks
Love these exploring type videos! So sick.
Another great video Rich!!! The keys are one of my favorite places ever!!!!
Tarpon's are so much fun to fish , the snappers as well.
That was a great video!! I look forward to the others :)
Awesome thanks! Glad to hear!!

Love watching his dude. Watching from Southern California
Awesome thanks Alex for tuning in! It amazes me when a viewer mentions where they’re watching from 🤙🏻
The view of key is gorgeous！make this vid like movie
Super exited for the new series
I never fished in warm oceanic waters, needless to say, you catch a lot of fish on my bucket list and Tarpon is definitely one of them. Great video and really clear, clean waters!
Just back from Cedar Key where we were skunked for a week due to a cold spell. Wish we had gone further south like you. Best of luck.
I have never personally tarpon fished, but everyone says you have to bow to the king (rod tip down when they jump). May help keep more of them hooked! Then again, you do this for a living
You've got me jonesing for a keys fishing trip now... i love your vids. Subscribed for sure.
When the tarpon jump “bow to the king” or put the rod tip to the water. It will help with the slack and it will be harder for them to spit the hook. The line will raise when they are about to jump that is when you (bow down) or put the rod tip to the water.
totally dig the underwater footage
Fishing paradise! Thanks for sharing your experience.
So hyped for this series🔥
Glad to hear Michael!!
Killer video! It was great meeting you today, hope you found a few fish!
Hey Cade yeah likewise 👍🏻. I found some fish yesterday but nothing crazy. Just enough to keep a couple for the table and have a few fish tacos haha.
Been watching your videos since you went to rhode island. You inspired me to fish here in Florida. Love your channel im always waiting for new vids
Wow thanks Kevin for sticking around and for the kind words! Glad to hear you look forward to new uploads! I love to read these comments because in the end of the day it will give me more motivation. Tight Lines until next time 👍🏻
Keep up the good fishing love you videos
Some people call the snook robalo while the snapper or grouper is called pargo last but not least el Tiburon also called shark
The intro is fire and good video
I love too watch you fish while i eat. Good entertainment. Should of kept that red snapper for lunch!
Man your drone is a game changer! You qualify of footage is great 👍! Tight lines 🎣
I enjoyed that one Rich, looking forward to more 👍🎣
Just can’t understand not bein’ able to fight the fish with my strong hand, LOL!! Great videos, thanks!!

Enjoy this series every year!!
Nice kayak you got there, I wish I could have one for fishing... 😊✌️
Rich great vid man as usual
I love the fishing experience series!
Love the florida videos. Keep em comin
Thanks Anthony I’ll try my best 🤙🏻
Beautiful content man. Have you seen any diamondback terrapins while out there?
9:47 You know you're a true fisherman when your reflexes are that good to block a lure while standing in a kayak without batting an eye.
Haha tbh it was so hot in that little sheltered area I wouldn’t have cared much if I fell in 😆
I think Florida has some of the best fishing in the country! I hope to go some day and do some fishing.
Have to say that Florida is a 10 and cali is a 5 in variety and numbers
Even better than MN in my opinion
Easy fishing is Tamiami Canal for bass and peacock bass in Spring time.
I plan to hit Tampa soon..

Bro,,,, the best
Elite!
Ballsy bringing a certate out in the kayak dude! I would be paranoid about something happening to it lol
Haha yeah I take chances I shouldn’t. I’ve lost my van Staal before but then dove down 25ft and got it. Never brought that in the kayak again 👍🏻
@@FishAholicTV have you tried the Vanford yet?
Awesome videos at always dude! Stoked on the Keys Series. Keeping us Californians jealous haha 🤙
Thanks Angel! Glad to hear 4 more episodes to come! And more long drag screaming reels as the days go on. I’ve gotta fish Cali one of these days so you got me there.
So good man!
Keep em comin! When you were landing that tarpon, I was anticipating a shark attack!
Next episode!! Gotta tease a little right 🤷🏻♂️. Otherwise why come back hahaha.
Congratulations brohter 👍💪😃 Puerto San José Guatemala 🇬🇹👏👏🎣
You should fish mosquito lagoon for gator trout…they’re massive
Great video! I feel like the mangrove snapper down in the keys are way more aggressive than when you find them in other parts of Florida-rare to get one on artificial up on the gulf coast.
Love the content brother!
Awsome vid! I’m about to get out on my hobie for the first time since winter
bout time, gotta pull out that vudu shrimp again
Awesome video mate
That is some good fun!
Gets better as the days go on 😏
Those snappers looked delicious
Tarpon always looked pissed.
Keep up the good work
This was awesome!
Thanks Zack!! 🤙🏻
Great video bro! Dang it, now I'm starting to think about the keys, Just what I need, another bucket list destination!
Thanks bro! Haha sorry 🤷🏻♂️. You definitely should got when it’s convenient though. So much water to fish...
Gotta 'bow to the king' when they jump..tarpon are nicknamed 'silver king' at least where i live..
The underwater scene was a surprise and it was fire … great content
Awesome channel bro keep it up!
Amazing video very beautiful 🤩
Amazing content dude

You have some impressive balance standing on the outback Rich. I'm alittle afraid to do on my hobie and lose my stuff lol
Haha I’ve had a lot of years of practice from standing on slippery wet rocks in rough surf to owning an outback since I was 16. My balance is pretty good and the kayak is like an extension of myself lol 😆
Always remember to bow to the king
Rich your intro was sick................
Love your enthusiasm. Being “old school” I do cringe when you identify exactly where ur fishing because some of those places are my hotspots. 🤫
Love this video. Tarpon is such a beautiful fish. What jog head are you using on the fin back shad?
Great watch. Are tarpon nice to eat?.
Finally
Tarpon are some of the best fighting fish in the world
Amazing intro
10:50 if it was a bonnet head, he was digging for a crustacean
Thats a very nice video . I apsolutly love your fishing videos . but if evry tarpon goes away why you arent jousing triple hooks ?🙃
So you want us to buy stuff so you can live the dream, bumming around the keys fishing your heart out rather than being a working stiff, stuxk at home due to COVID. I lived in Bahia Honda park, spearfishing the keys back in the day. Noone paid my way. I think that is rich, Rich.
Your casting is great though. Nice job.
