Thank you brother we try to leave as little footprint as possible when we’re out there.

Bro ima put you on a snook !!

@@DanTheFishMan hope to get back on the water next week. Let’s make it happen.

Yes I do that was definitely an awesome experience, we still tell people about that!

I don’t disagree but the reality is it’s over population in general.

Or we could treat fishing like hunting. You don't see hunters out there shooting animals then throwing them back. . I'm not anti-fishing -- I go every week. Go fishing, catch your limit, be done. Fishing injures fish, even with catch & release -- charter boats are paid to catch as many fish as possible, whether they keep them or not. It's a business model that harms the local fish population and is poor stewardship of natural resources.

All of them are 4,000s

Yeah man that’s coming up in the next few episodes, we love shark fishing

Your absolutely right it’s gotta be the charter fishing it can’t possibly be the 1.5 million recreational saltwater fisherman that bought licenses in the last year. Everybody is so quick to point fingers and put blame on someone else that they don’t see that the problem is a combination of pollution, population, overfishing, wether commercial or recreational that is leading to the overall decline in the states fishery’s. Most of the charter captains that I associate with and know of are the biggest spokes people for conservation, protection and rehabilitation of the resources that we make our living off of. Until everyone starts taking responsibility for their own actions our waters cannot possibly improve. #letemgoletemgrow #limityourcatchdontcatchyourlimit

​@@badfishtv3813 I'd have to agree with you, the number of charter captain's isn't increasing anywhere near the level pollution is increasing and recreational pressure. there's a lot of issues but improving habitat and water quality is #1. I did fish with a guide in the everglades and told him at the beginning of the trip I didn't want kill more than a meal and he wouldn't stop though. He killed our 3 man limit of trout, a permit, flounder, pompano, snook, redfish and more. When the cooler was full he stacked fish on the life jackets. Guides like this can do more damage in a week than 10 rec guys in a year. he was so proficient at catching and killing fish.

Yes we use artificial a lot usually suspending baits and soft plastics but we usually don’t on trips unless it’s requested.
