Dude’s fighting a massive grouper, steering the boat, and checking where his sleeping daughter is so he doesn’t bump into her. Dad skills level: Expert.

The first thing I noticed about this reel is its weight kzfaq.infoUgkxM68VkfsQhHaabDce1IwOCXuvumcpbZ_k . I wouldn't say it was uncomfortable but it was a little heavier than other similarly sized reels. However, that didn't deter my enjoyment of how smooth this reel is. I spooled it with 20lb. Tuf-Line XP and it's perfect for what I use it for. I have it paired with an 8'6" Medium/Fast Okuma SST Salmon/Steelhead rod. The combination is perfect for casting and even drifting. I used the reel all day and didn't experience any arm or hand fatigue except when fighting a few fish! The bail is solid and feels strong when engaging by reeling and manually closing the bail by hand. The large rubber handle grip is very comfortable. It's got a powerful drag, silky smooth reeling, and feels very comfortable in the hands. I recommend it!

Man I’ve been watching you all for years now and I don’t comment often but I just wanna say I really love you guys. The bond you share with your family as well as your viewers is amazing and I truly enjoy watching. To see how much the channel has grown and all the opportunities that have came along and yet still you remain totally humble is really a blessing. I never wanted to fish so bad lol. Thanks 🙏🏾

I’m so glad you’re home Robert!!! These are the videos I’ve been waiting on... Aria is getting big!

That's a real dad. Knows when to say no and even when he gives in he still lets her do the work with just the right amount of support and confidence needed. May God bless you and your family.

Can we all take a moment to notice how strong this man is and how good his technique is??!?! Most people will use the boat as a leverage point to take pressure off themselves but this man just straight muscles the fish and somehow doesn’t get pulled over the boat!

I find this to be the best video ever for father and daughter. I grew up on the coast and spent tons of days with my two girls in my boat. It is something that will stay with our children and family that will never be forgotten by the sea or family. God Bless you. USAF forever brother. God love America

That has to be the most confidence I've ever seen put into someone's equipment. That was all in for sure. 👍

Best channel with a good vibe. Family oriented, fishing, amazing places. What else can we ask for

Amazing job and technique.. No belts, no electric 2G reels.. Man vs Goliath.. That's what I called " watch and learn from the best" Thanks Rob.. God bless y'all. Happy Labor day!!!!

This awesome footage, that's great to bring the daughter out & kids will never forget this & it's rare that they won't fish as they grow up. Great content

I love to see the bond you have with your family and how you interact with everyone you always treat every like they are family. Keep the vids coming love watching and learning for the day i make it down there to do some fishing myself

In 10 yrs your 4 yr old will have her channel Fishmeatfordinner. She's going to be a pro fisherwoman. Teaching kids to fish opens them up to teaching them so many other things about life.

Me: I’m going to workout at the gym Robert: I’m going fishing

Very impressive, your rod and reel combo are extremely strong. That was awesome,Keep it up, I love watching your family adventures.

Man oh man this guy loves fishing!! Super cool to see his passion and how he involves his whole family! What a good dad. (I’ve only fished a couples times in my life)

11:08 the scream and she’s just asleep right behind him 😂

Just wanted to say thank u for sharing ur life with us you really have changed our lives you have taken my fiancé out of his shell he actually proposed to me while fishing we’ve been together 15 years n after watching ur show we’ve been going places we’ve never been together n I love it thank u Robert n Sarah for sharing ur lives with us y’all are very inspiring

Most people while fighting a jack: * struggles desperately to keep their rod off the gunwale * Rob while fishing a sea monster on spin gear: “hold my Everglades”

hey i have biopolar and very anxiety attacks i cant count how meds i take n i just want to let u know everytime i suffer from a attack i watch your videos and i swear it brings the life back into me thank u and ur family

If all dads were like you we'd have a lot less problems in our country.

This channel stands out from the rest... So full of love, and there is always a good lesson to be learned. Thank you! 🙏

You my man are a first class father! Love that little 4 year old. In no time flat, a wink of an eye, she’ll be out fishing you and you’ll be loving it!

Seeing you fish reminds me of when I used to fish with my dad when I was little. It’s quite bittersweet because I haven’t been able to go fishing with him in about 20 years. He has a condition that causes the cartilage in his spine to deteriorate, and he’s almost 60% blind. You remind me of my dad when he used to teach me how to fish. Thank you for that. Lots of nostalgia. ☺️ All teary-eyed now! Lol

"Can you help me?" What daddy could say no? This reminds me of my little girls so much. I love this stuff!

That is some serious torque on that rod. They make em better today than they used to.

This guy lives the best life. he's definitely a big inspiration to me to attain a similar type of life.a beautiful family,nice boat,and a piece of property to manage and hunt and all of it in and within 30 miles of what used to be one of the best quiet little towns in south Florida-jupiter.

I have to admit I didn't realize how much I missed Family Activities and togetherness until I see you and your daughters' smiling face Fishing... hahahaha

I learn the names of different fish from this channel...Awesome 👌

Robert: catching a Goliath grouper Aria: in the deepest sleep ever

The father and daughter thing ! That's the most beautiful moment in this video ❤️

Good dad ! I love it when you asked for and honor your little lovely daughter opinion to let the fish she caught go. Good dad !

I admire this guy so much for the husband, father and Christian that he is. Not to mention his stewardship of the outdoors. This Navy vet salutes you, brother.

Always a joy to watch your channel my good sir. You have been a huge influencers me moving to Jupiter so I thank you.

Loved the video! Thanks Robert. Your daughters are adorable and will grow up to be great fisherman.

I’am a huge New Yorker fan!!! This is a beautiful family day fun day I dream like many of us. Beautiful family day 😊

That is the hardest I’ve ever seen you work to catch a fish. Sounded like you’re in labor....What a monster !

One of the best action tackle film of your series 😎👍

So nice how dad said to daughter. . ."do you want to let the fish go". ..and she did!

I love you so much Rob!! One of my biggest inspirations is you and your amazing wisdom

This was an absolutely awesome video, we got to see our man put to the absolute test and come out on top! Mad props to you Rob! I've struggled a bit with 100lb+ Bat Rays lol I can only imagine how difficult this battle really is! Can't wait to one day feel the ultimate power that is the Goliath Grouper!

Sup Happy People!!!! Makes my day Robert!!

Best channel ever! Your chase is pure and I respect that immensely.

I've been watching your channel for a long time and you motivate me to go out in the ocean everyday. Thank you

Bruh, my whole body is in a cramp right now trying to help you pull that huge fish up through this computer screen. Sheeeeeeesh I need a nap!!!

Nothing better then good parenting and the love that goes with it. God bless sir 🙏🏼👍

I hit the like button as soon as he asked his lil girl shall we use him as bait or let him go. The little girl said let him go. Absolutely love it.... We don't have to take everything when we are fishing. And that little girl already knows that. 😎🤗🤗👍

I love how you help people and donate fish 🐟 and that's amazing! Keep it up and God 🙏 bless yall!

man that was one of the intense fight ive ever witnessed Rob. good job

Great video Rob. That Goliath really put that spinning reel to the test!!!

Man I’m addicted to Everglades Seasoning! Thanks Robert! 😆

At 6:50 and thru, that’s a family man and dad goal. Respect!

Ah! Dang it! I almost got up a 400 lb Silky Shark on a spinning outfit in a video I posted 10 minutes before you! Beat me again sir! Mr. Arrington thank you for what you guys do. It's inspiring, entertaining and always a pleasure! God bless to you and your family!

Such a beautiful family making so many memories ♥️

AWSOME video buddy! Great to see you enjoying the Salt Life with the whole family! God Bless!!!🤗👍🙏

THANK YOU Rob for great Video again and again .

That's what you call, giving it all you got. BEAUTIFUL fish!

Rob: *Grunting and straining like he's lifting a Brinks truck.* Arya: 'Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz'

Me and alot of friends here in jamaica are following your channel from the beginning, keep up the good work .

You, sir, are an absolute stud!!! After I saw your setup, I gave you a 0% chance. Incredible job!

"Drop the mic on 'em" Deermeatfordinner! You did that!!

When you hooked up to the Goliath and Aria was fully asleep right behind you 😂

Truly epic and amazing DM, your respect level hit a new all time high with myself and all your viewers. You lead by example, we'll done my friend.

Watching you with your daughter was priceless.

“He doesn’t like to be touched” My uncle didn’t listen to me when I said that wtf

I was watching old dmfd videos and bam a new one hell yeah!!!

This is one of the most unique fishing videos I have seen on KZfaq. And brother, I have seen it a lot!

That is the TOUGHEST Spinning Rod and Reel combo I have ever seen. Amazing!

Representing for Jamaica man 😁🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

Learning from you here in Texas Jungle! You inspire me to keep growing my outdoor channel!! God bless

today i got my fist fishing set, and i started watching some fishing videos and You my friend are unbelievable... great job!

I really enjoyed watching your video. The best part for me was watching you involve your daughter, what an Angel. Great catch.

Yay Another Video Makes my day 1000x Better! :) Love The Videos!

Never seen a man work so hard knowing he couldn’t take it home😂

Wow! Hats off to you sir! That was an incredible fight! I can't believe that the rob held up . . . reel too for that matter. Super cool footage!

I love your family values and for sure enjoy the cooking I'm just an old man in Michigan that spends his winters if Florida with our daughter. I live on what i harvest.

Amazing net throw for the intro.

Respect for the Rod and reel combination

Me and my wife love how you include your family

Its always tradition to throw one back! I'm glad Arianna got to do it this time around. Way cool! God Bless!

Happy Birthday Robert!!😁

Epic fight! No wonder you got me hooked to your content.

Now that was intense ! Found myself tensing on the couch as you were reeling that fish in 🤣🤣🤣 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 awesome work !

That was a great fight! Thoroughly enjoyed this 💯💯💯

Love catching the big Goliath’s on SW coast they fight different in 25 feet of water, the true monster always run away from the wreck and take you on a sleigh ride!

That’s epic! As much pressure as Rob was having to put on the rod, I kinda kept waiting for the line to snap and Rob to smack himself in the face with it.

Awesome display of technique and strength! Great job! I caught myself cheering for you. Keep up the great work?

I loved it! Rod tip heads for the center of the Earth like he’s hooked a railroad car. “That’s a fish.”

Just went fishing on the ocean for the first time last week. Got a bunch of crogers and a rock fish some ribbon fish and a toad fish. So cool. Learned a lot from u. Thanks 😊

I'm shocked the boat didn't sink because of this mans iron balls

Robert is most possitive person I ever met online, i love all ur videos. God Bless You and your family. I wish i can go with you one day to fishing. Best regards from Charlotte NC.❤️

The child is the star. She is adorable!!

Watching you rail and pulling those fish in got my legs kicking😫😂

11:08 What I should be doing..... But I'm up at 2 am watching fishing videos lol

Fishing opportunity are every where.best bait, best moment, best spot and big fish with the greatest fight.

Good stuff Rob!!! Nice fish, great content as always🤟👊💪

Love this guy always respect him and his family God is great

That was freaking awesome! Great job sir! I never thought I’d see the day someone caught a Goliath grouper on spinning tackle!

Your precious daughter may love fishing, but I believe she loves being with her Daddy more. She reminds me of myself when I was a child. My Dad was my hero, my everything, and I wanted to be where he was ,doing what he was doing at all times.

I need that setup good sir. Rod, reel and line 🤣! I always love watching your content Rob, even if I've already seen it a hundred times or more.
