Hardest Fighting Fish I've Ever Caught On A Crab!!!! And Catch and Cook! 

Hey Fishaholic’s, please be advised I am not doing any giveaway in this video! And if any comment asks you to call or text to receive your prize. It is a scam! If you can report it that would mean a lot! Thanks so much and thanks for watching! Tight Lines!!

I love the FishAholic notifications

I really enjoy the fact that you actually keep a few fish for consumption as well as prepping and cooking is great. I understand the sport fishing part, but the guys that throw everything back and never keep anything isn't nearly as enjoyable to watch. ✌️😎

NICE!!! I see why they have always been so prized as a fly fish. I could not imagine. The skipper did not seem happy you came along until he saw you in action. Good job!

That was one hell of a good day on the water. Permit is still on my bucket list

definetly my favourite fishing youtuber. Great stuff my dude, you got me back into fishing after not going out for a while..

I’ve fished with Aidan and Taylor a couple months back they definitely know where to take you for the biggest fish and the chillest hang 👌🏾🔥

Keep those throats! So good. Lightly dredge in flour, season and fry with or without scales. Simple and VERY tasty. Best part in my opinion.

Dang man, this was a great fishing trip and video! Congrats on the great fish!

Man this fight looks like big Tautog in the Northeast…definitely adding Permit to the bucket list

Best fishing content out there. Love the vids!!

All Jack's fight hard and don't give up good catch

Niiiice job on that permit 👍🏽 congrats 🎉

My brother after watching your channel for over a year now this by far is one of my favorites. Great video and cool guys keep it up brother

Great video man, start to finish! Thanks for sharing with this freshwater angler. Already looking forward to the next!

EPIC - Bucket List Busted!

permits arevery nice eating fish rich, back here we call them pomfret🤙🍻

I just want you to know that I'm 73 years old and I've cut a few fish but when I watched you get those mutton snappers and clean them it was a very workmanlike very well handled professional I mean you shown I was proud of you I knew you had it in you

I used to fish Lake Worth pier in the eighties with a guy that held the world record for permit for about 10 years. Coincidentally, the guy who broke his record worked on the pier!

NICE PERMIT! I'm worn out just watching that second one, wow...really nice. Thank you!

How thrilling to watch! Must have been soooo fun to catch fish like them….. thanks for sharing

Man dude your so good at fishin, love the vids, watch them all

definitely buyin a dark matter rod n evict combo

Wow now this is some serious action so close to the plant I never even knew there was a buoy there ! Definitely want to launch the kayak there on a flat day ! Keep up the awesome videos bro !

Nice catch Rich never saw a Permit. It's like bringing in a car hood. So happy for you. Tight Lines 🎣

fish were glorious...great enjoyable video...thanks for making and sharing it with the world...

I never noticed how much you say “uh” till this video 😂 sweet fish

Congratulations 💯💯💯 on your Permit Fish. Exciting video as always. Tight Lines 🎣🤙🏼

I’m dead… I woke up I had some breakfast I went to the bathroom😂😂✅

Hi Rich, that was a lot of fun, thank you for sharing.

Hell yeah, I'm excited for this one!

Both Permit and Muttons can really pull. You catch one of those 20 pound Muttons on a Yellowtail rod and hold on. Good stuff Rich. Easy to tell who is actually freelining and who has drag in their presentation

what an absolute BANGER RICH!! this video was awesome dude amazing video

What a awesome video!!! I keep coming back, watch your channel literately like every day! Thanks for the good content.

Fun adventure! Congrats on checking another species off the list!!

Open ocean oh yeah thats the way to do it

Fishaholic putting in work.

Hey folks! Lookin’ to get educated. How exactly does Rich drain his catch in that bucket of what looks to be ice water? Seen him do it a few times. Right on guys!

Next time you were in the keys you should try permit on the flats. Instead of a vertical fight, You get a horizontal fight. My first permit ran off about 50 yards of line on the first run, I got back about 20 yards then it ran off another 50 yards! It is the best fighting fish out there!!!

Now that was an awesome trip! Memory maker. 😉♥

Nice pink house👍🏼

Just ordered some of the Swamp Seasoning, getting it in 2 days with Amazon. Great video. I have never eaten Permit, but I imagine it is similar to Pompano (I think they are in the same family).

OMG that would go in my ice box. They are the best eating fish I’ve ever had.

Love that Biggest Fish Timestamp‼️👌🏼💯 🐟 ✌🏼🎣 Tight Lines‼️

That was awesome. I have been chasing permit forever(from shore). I have heard they are such a fighter. Love the catch and cook. Great video

You are from the north but love your videos!!!!!

Thanks for doing a catch and cook! This video was fire 🔥

Next time you are there get some boiled peanuts at Little Jim Bridge. My parents lived on North Hutchinson island before they passed. Great area.

Really pumping out these videos man love the content

I hate to ask for this through a comment on this awesome vid.. but I am dying for another fishaholic fishing hat. Please, Rich.. I need another brother!

congrats on your first permit . I caught my first one Wade fishing in the chandeleur islands

I went to Marine Mechanic school with Aiden. He was in my Suzuki class

Cot damn bro... that was some incredible fishing! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Sweet ! Living the dream

I like how he went on their boat and caught a bunch of fish and dudes didn't start free lining themselves

Ur awesome bro 🤙🤙🎣🐟. Its my favorite channel to watch.

Very cool man!

Keep the offshore vids comin 🔥🔥

Nice job Rich!

Pretty sure we use the same boat ramp but ive never had any luck with fishing spots over there just a couple good size mangroves right out the inlet , love the channel brother! keep up the good work!

For that bucket list check out Tropic Star Lodge Panama....its mine.

When’s your pass through Charleston? One of my favorite fishing RU-vidrs to watch would love to show you around on a bunch of different species.

Awesome video dude!! What kind of boots are those btw ? I definitely need a pair for the boat

Awesome video as always man!

Congrats on the permits

Love the content, try the snapper throats just one time and you'll never throw them back again. I promise.

Good video, it reminds me how some captains in Mexico fishing out of Pangas with Penn Senators that have a star drag would loosen the drag to almost nothing, they catch a Barracuda and fight it for 20 minutes or so until it comes to the surface dead while the Mexicans are screaming good catch gringo...lol

You've got the boat that can take you to the middle reef line in the 50 to 75 foot range and if you can find the drop offs and/or bottom structure in that area I would get a chum line going and patiently wait for the Speedos to show up. Having a couple of pre-rigged spinners with a double set of #10 hooks with shrimp would be the ticket. That and have a 30 to 50 lb rod rigged with 18" of 30# wire to a 6+ feet of 40 to 50 lb mono leader with no weight to start with and immediately get the bait out there. Big smoker Kings and Black Grouper will stalk those Speedos up and down the reef. No matter what hits you are sure to have an epic fight on your hands. I've watched 50 lb Black Grouper boil the surface going after that bait but no matter what, when that line (in free spool) begins to tear out don't bother waiting hook em immediately and crank like there's no tomorrow because if it is your Black he'll make a bee line for the nearest hole. The battle is in preventing him from reaching it. Twenty Five to Fifty LB range is average size when fishing this way not to mention the Yellow Tail and Mutton Snapper you can catch can keep you busy while waiting for the bait. The whole sequence from dropping anchor till bait arrives generally takes an hour. If nothing happens find a different ledge/structure. Though your best chance for success is winter and spring, I've caught them this way right up until July. Tight lines and have fun. BTW, loved this video, brought back some very fond memories.

good on you for using the 30lb leader. i think any lighter line would have frayed and stretched too much from that extensive battle

I Would Have Smoked That Permit Skeleton,, Then Pick Off The Meat For A Tasty Smoked Fish Dip.

enjoy your vids man if you ever wanna go out with me i live in stuart and got a boat on dock ready to go!

Awesome thanks

Rich, as usual, you are Epic! This is Hemingway history again, If you can fish the sailfish, marlin and tarpon class and do what you are doing now. What else could you look forward too?

great stuff as always, thanks

Fun fight followed by grill to table...doesn't get much better then that.

The way salt water species rip drag is crazy. I need to move to FL lol

Hey Rich. I have a question. I use gopro to film and I see you are too. When I get it on youtube its poor quality even though im exporting in 4k. How do your videos look so good?

👍👍👍🤩🤩❤️❤️ awesome bro good job

Monster

Video was released 30 seconds ago so didn’t Watch it yet but I know it will be as great as it always is Keep on the good Work

When I fish, I hope that what I'm hooked up on is a certain type of fish because I want to either eat or sell it, but if you're going to release the permit anyway, why do you care if you catch more once you've caught the first one?

Dude this video was awesome not one permit but two with two mutton snappers it don't get no sweeter than that thanks for sharing tight lighns 👍😁

Great video! Watching from college

He went to the bathroom while loading up the boat 🤣

If you love permit you gotta come fly fishing for em here in Belize 🇧🇿 in the island Ambergris Caye

Love your videos

Yesss

net!net!net!

Fwc limit on permit is 6 per person per day year round, 11inch and larger.

New sub ! Liked 🙏😆✌️😃

That was epic 😎 👌

Once on the bottom why do you feed line out? Is it because you want it to drift with the current to look more natural?

Love your vids

I feel so bad for the skipper and his first mate because clearly they aren't very experienced fishermen.

beauty

I love grilled fish it taste better to me

I envy the stripers up north but not to privy about pompano I've caught some fresh ones very mature just never fell in love with them.... But you got good videos

great video !! what fillet knife is that, how do u like it ??

It was amazing to be apart of this brother this is Insane🔥

"went to the bathroom" - TMI! 🤭
