Offshore is always an adventure. But it's worth the hassle and danger. I'm glad y'all made it home safe.

Happened to me once 16 miles off of Sebastian inlet. The ocean changed colors, if that makes sense. We were on a 23 Bluewater with twin 150 Yamahas. We were airborne most of the ride in. Last week a boater was killed by lightning here in Brevard. RIP captain. Be safe out there.

We have storms on Lake Erie that come in within 5-8 minutes. The lake can go from flat as glass to 6 foot waves in a few minutes. You don’t want to be caught in one, especially in the western basin. It’s only 30 feet deep, and rough seas can expose the rocks on the reefs and total a boat. The worst o ever hit was a rare full gale out of the southwest. It happens once in fifty years. It was April, and we were walleye fishing. I came around one of the islands to hit steady 8 foot breakers with about every tenth one around ten feet. We made it in, howbeit very slowly. The water temp was 41 degrees. In order to get the boat on the trailer, I had to jump in the water up to my chest and hold the transom steady so it wouldn’t pound into the dock. Fortunately cold water doesn’t bother me, even now at 67 years old, I have no trouble in it. That was in 1988. I still thank the Lord that we didn’t capsize on the way in.

So, I am at the Dr.'s office, waiting on the doc, watching Beachbum on a pier with Brad, the one that got away. He pulled up this video. How ironic. I am already subscribed. I told him about the new fishing store. I learn something new every day. 😊

100 Milles offshore in that boat??!!! BB... You just stepped up your WATCH GAME! BlacktipH quality BB!! Keep it up!

Those Blackfin boats handle rough water extremely well. I was running a 31 Regulator from Key West to St.Pete and the same thing happened with the anchor. Pulled out about 100 foot of chain and rope. Had to put the manual crank on to get it back in.

Yeah- we're all happy you guys made it back. That's an epic adventure to add to your collection. You should made a video of all your scary and epic adventures.

Nature is the undefeated adversary. My wife and I found that out on Pickwick in a 17 footer with a 60 hp. We made it back and so glad y'all did as well. Superb channel....

Great vid, Brad. You’ve really stepped up ur game on these vids. Keep em comin brother!!!

Gnarly offshore trip! Good video, glad y’all made it in all good. Running fast in canals is hectic.

You had an excellent captain!!! Came in just in time. I was only 50 miles into the gulf when a storm caught us...ONCE. When you can't see land and that happens it is terrifying. Never again.

From what you were saying about the weather, I would have headed back before you started trolling for wahoo. That's just me though. It's funny (to me) that nobody seems to have an auxilliary motor these days. Apparently modern outboards never have problems.......until they do.

That was a he'll of a ride back in glad you all made it back in safe I wish you all good luck with your new store n with your grand opening

Glad y’all are safe. I’ve been in rough weather offshore and inshore it is no fun. Here if you’re caught in a storm and take refuge under someone’s covered slip it’s a general understanding that you’re just there for safety.

Exciting video Brad. Those were some nice fish. Glad y’all made back.

Yikes! That lightening was scary! Glad you made it back safely. Great job!

Thanks for hanging in and making a video despite your near death experience 😮😊

Got caught out in 10-12's out of Sabine Pass when a storm developed quickly in gulf. That was a little spooky.

15:54 waking out the neighborhood. Straight gangsta!

That storms looks scary!!! So glad y’all made it safely

I never heard of using Black Fin Tuna for bait!😮 I used to target them when I would go out of Myrtle Beach when I lived in SC. Great video man, I always get nervous during storms out on the ocean! It can get pretty scary!

Man 100 miles!! Thats a long way. Good to see other boats out there.

The music you had playing on your intense, dangerous journey back cracked me up

So glad you all made it back also. Welcome home brother.

I've been in the gulf by Sarasota when a storm rolled in to fast. We were 10 miles out and couldn't see over the 8 foot seas. Scarry stuff.

Being 50-100 miles offshore is a whole different weather system. Great trip but super scary. We need you around for the grand opening 🎉

crazy storm glad yall r good

need a cleat in the anchor compartment to ensure it doesn't drop unexpectedly... that had to be freaky scary

Please do a runt rod again but with beefier line and reel 🙏🏽🤣‼️

nice catch weather was bad got back thanks

Glad you made it home safe. Blessings

Being chased by 3 water spouts 15 miles out isn’t fun either. Then, losing power on the main engine and having to get back, through heavy fog with a kicker motor made my day even more interesting.

Great video as always man 👌👌

Me too...,make me re-think...,no more off shore fishing anymore

Great vid! Sketchy........................

Exciting trip. Love some wahoo!

What an awesome video! Had to be amazing Thanks!

Great editing in the intro!

That looked like fun !!! 🧨🧨

Damn cuz that was some sketchy lighting!! Glad yall made it back ok! I could tell how scared you guys were just by the video!!

Great video.. what rig was that big yellow one?

Man that looked like a wild ride

Nice vid, but take that clicker off, when you're reeling, and how did your cast net lesson go?

Gotta love those moments when you misjudge the weather speed lol

That runt rod from @fishgum is O.P.!!!!!!!

This is awesome!

Glad you guys made back safe I was wondering how long it took to run out there

Awesome video brother!!

Had a storm hit us on the Great Lakes. Went from flat calm glass conditions to 50mph winds and 8-10 waves with lightning bolts hitting all around us

Be careful out there Brad!

They're actually called drilling rigs. Cool sesh tho!

At least you got sushi

Great ride! How did you score a trip on that fine rig? I am green with envy!

Is that the one they call beer can rig

Glad y'all made it back, what was the first platform y'all were at?

Go Vols. Happened to me more than once offshore. Your logical brain says you will be fine. But your fight or flight brain says I want my mommy!

Scary!

Yea that a bit sketch but at least it wasn’t a total bust 😁

You sure you weren't just dragging your anchor and it made it feel like a power drop off? I've done it and it transpired just as you described. Right down to the broken anchor at the end... That big thump you heard might have been the anchor coming up and hitting the bottom of the boat.

Looked like an awesome trip except for the storm. Glad you guys made it back safely.

Hey its me the kid at oso that said I love the videos well I was hoping to be in the video

I've been there a few times

I know I'm a little behind. If you answer me that'll be cool! Where did you guys go on this trip? Take care dudes! GOD BLESS!

Gkad you made it in safe

that was not what i would call fair weather fishin ...

Thanks

Brad do u do private charters

That was pretty sketchy bruh!

That intro was on another level and I usually could care less about it 👍

You knew the weather forecast and for a man of your experience that was pretty damn stupid for you to go offshore with that forecast

Is it just me or does it seem like the fish populations are increasing getting less. I mean we’re talking about the ocean. I would think that the boat would have been filled with a great amount of fish for the time that they were out there.

We’re we’re you

LOL

U never do catch clean and cook's why not never

I take it you don't have a gym membership!

No respect for other don’t you believe in no wake

You need to invest in some fishing gimbal belts, we call them "buckets" here in South Africa
