WHY WE BECAME CAPTAINS 👩‍✈️🎣 Gale Force Twins 

You two are the daughters every parent dreams of having! I am a physician. It was my goal and dream. It was and remains a shit ton of work. I can tell you I never had the sheer joy on my face that you two wear just talking about your passion! You are doing what I and many others PAY to do!! You have found your calling, your passion and are finding a way to make a living doing it! Because of that, you will never “work” a day in your life!! If you ever decide to screw this up and apply to med school, you have an awesome compelling legit story that we nerds flock to like moths to a light! The world is truly your oyster! Ps: Thank you for wearing clothes.😃

I became a female captain at 42 a month ago 💪🏼

I had a smile on my face the whole time I was watching this video. As a father and grandfather I find it exciting to see the younger generation figure life out, make discoveries about life, and themselves. Thank you for telling your story (thus far anyway).

Y'all are humble and so different than all these other "fishing girls" good for y'all god bless

Fellow female captain here! Love your content! I’m 19 and haven’t met any young female captains yet so I really connect with you guys!

As a Dad of two teenage daughters, you two young women are inspiring. I ask my daughters to find something that will make them happy, in a safe environment, and be self sufficient. Strong and competent are wonderful things to be. I'm a lifelong fisherman of the northeast canyons and love your content as well. Good luck to you both.

I’m currently a 12 year old kid who’s obsessed with fishing(It got to a point where my parents bought me a boat) and it’s so inspiring to see two females that are good at fishing and chose to be fishing charter captains. I just wanted to say that y’all are amazing and inspiring, so keep it going and I really hope that one day I get to meet you.

It's almost like you 2 are having a conversation with yourself. It is so cool that you have each other as your mentor. To be so in sync with someone has to be awesome. You guys are doing great!!

I just found your channel and am binge watching the episodes! I have been fishing and boating my entire life and am seriously impressed with you two. You have such a head on your shoulders and as hard as you tried to explain the "why", you did an excellent job sharing. You two deserve so much of the credit for where you are and what you have accomplished, but I would like to shake your parents hands - they did an excellent job raising two bright and talented girls.

I have been a Professional Pilot for 52 years. Obtained my Captain’s license last March. Retiring from flying next January and starting another on the Sea. You sweet girls got it going on and having fun with class and laughs. Keep it up we are proud of you.

After and during your presentation of “why,” I had tears in my eyes and soul because of your life’s joy and expressions of that joy you share with everyone through your experiences and communication of knowledge. I really don’t have the words to express how much I viscerally agree with everyone who has said good things about the two of you and all you do. Your love for the water, fishing and boating is something I would hope could be deposited in my grandchildren. The best way I know how to do that, including personal experiences with them, is exposure to your videos, teaching and water life. Thank you for everything you are and do. I’m so glad you did and are choosing the life path you’ve taking. It is truly a blessing in so many ways to have you share it with the world in the fashion you do. I know this may sound overly dramatized, but truth is truth no matter how it’s served-up/delivered. Thank you!! 😊

"Following the bread crumbs" such a great analogy! Following your own path is incredibly brave you gals are badasses!

RU-vid recommended me this video. You two are living the life! Best of luck to you both and hopefully I'll get to meet you all on the water.

I stumbled upon your fishing videos a few days ago and really enjoy them. This one was very informative and gave a good view of your background. Now that you're young adults, as time goes on and you may eventually have children of your own, you'll come to realize that mom and dad booked you on those fishing charters when you were younger so they could have some alone time without the chance of the kids walking in and creating an awkward situation. My niece has twin daughters who are in junior high and I'm going to into your videos to them. You young ladies are a breath of fresh air.

You two made the best decision of your lives, and will be very successful. I am subscribed to quite a few fishing channels... and I put you right up there next to BlacktipH, on watchability. You two do your own thing, and it's wonderful to watch. You clearly have the passion for fishing, that only those born with the fishing "gift"... recognize. It's taken me and my best friend a long time to realize, that we should have doing the same thing all this time... so we are packing up in a year, moving back to Florida... buying a boat, and following our true passion. Consider yourselves lucky, that the stars lined up early on for you. Keep up the great work!

Recently came across your channel. We are enjoying watching. I occasionally have the opportunity to speak to high school students. One thing I stress is that it matters not what job you have in life. What matters is to get up on a workday and feel "I get to go to work today". It takes more than a boat load of money to make up for a job you don't like. Thankfully, I love my work as a Dr. but, my heart often goes back to those summers as a charter mate. There's something about heading offshore with the sunrise on a crisp spring morning that has no comparison. Do what you love and you'll never have to work a day in your life!

I love it, the journey you took, proves this is what you are meant to do. Great job.

I don’t know how this video showed up in my feed, but I’m glad it did. You’re both charismatic, well spoken, and passionate about your life choices. I’m sure you’re both going to be successful no matter what you chose. If you have the dedication to be a D1 track athlete, you basically have the groundwork to be successful in life.

Just stumbled upon your videos and I watched a few now I’m hooked and subscribed. Love the laid back approach to things. Unlike some other fishing channels I never feel like a dumbass after listening to you. I’ve worked as a mate for captains transporting yachts from as far south as St Thomas in the East and San Andres, Colombia in the west to as far north as Montréal by the outside around Nova Scotia. I can appreciate the comment about the feeling of being alone on the fly bridge. I really love your channel and wish you guys all the best.

Stay with it ladies ! "tight lines" enjoy your videos ! Thank Ya'll for sharing your journey.

You found what you love, and made it your living. So many people are never that happy or lucky. You’re a joy to watch.

Perfect. Two professionals with a great life. What could be better. How proud your parents must be. Your dad did a great job.

Listening to this, The Why is very evident... Your both doing what makes you happy! And that's very important in life... Be Happy And Enjoy what life gives you..

God bless you both. Following your bread crumbs has beautiful smiles on your faces. Smiles like yours doesn’t come from having a job that you don’t like. The sky is the limit when you do what you really enjoy. Constantly meeting new people, making new friends and having fun at the same time is hard to beat. I enjoy your videos very much. I love it when I am able to offer someone their first saltwater experience even if it is just a boat trip. I think you have found your “DOUBLE” layer cake but your enjoying yourselves so much you just haven’t realized it yet.

I love your videos and your contagious smiles. I've watched so many of them, I can tell the two of you apart from one another! Brantley, my 18 month old grandson, loves sitting with me watching your fishing videos before bedtime. God bless you both, stay safe and keep posting great fishing videos! From Naples, Fl...tight lines Captains!

Congratulations. Great video. "Follow the bread crumbs!" Great advice and kudos to you both for finding your passion!

This has become one of my favorite motivational videos and it’s not even a motivational video‼️ awesome

Congratulations! To you both. For almost a lifetime, I have also pursued fish for my bliss. That motivation is powerful. Struggling now, but never a regret. God Bless.

love the story! Well done on following your PASSION! Congrats on NOT following the normal! Blessed and fortunate that your parents supported your journey! Why you say? Simply because it felt right, it made you happy, it wasn't about the money, it was all about the journey, and your "WHY" has two reason's for lesson...FOLLOW your PASSION and DON'T follow the normal. Well done!! all the way from NZ.

Amanda and Emily - Emily and Amanda, you are an absolute tonic and perfect role models for the younger generation. I admire your enthusiasm about what you do and it proves that when you do something that you really love, you will never work a day in your life. It is also brilliant to see two young ladies who are obviously very close having the opportunity to do something that they really enjoy. One of the points that really hit me was your phrase, “follow the breadcrumbs”, which is so true. You are both so gifted and it is a credit that you are using these talents to your best advantage. Your parents must be so proud of you both 💕 There is an old saying here in Ireland, “that whatever is for you, will never pass you”, and you are living proof of this. I came across your page and videos by accident, you just popped up 😂 Thankfully you did, because having watched your videos I am grateful that I had that opportunity. Keep doing what you are doing and I wish you both all the very best in the world 💕 You are both bringing a lot of enjoyment to people around the world, because of your attitude and personality and I am sure that many will be very grateful for that. I will stop now before I start writing a book 😂 once again thank you and onwards and upwards ❤️

Just saying YES! My resume is CRAZY diverse, just because I keep following my heart. That creates a lot of challenges, sometimes, but you both seem to embrace those challenges, and of course, facing them together as sisters/friends has to help. My daughter is about your age. I love watching to see what she takes on next. Rock on

Amazing ❤️❤️ It is so inspirational to listen to the excitement and passion in your voices when you tell your story. I’m truly happy for you both. You made my day.

You did what you loved and followed your heart. That’s cool af

Love you girls. Simple loving people who will always be protected by the good lord.

Really enjoy watching you both- terrific and genuine

Thank you Amanda and Emily for the inspiration to go out and fulfill my lifelong dream of getting my Captain’s license! I completed my course a couple of weeks ago and am currently enrolling in my Master’s upgrade. I really appreciate this video and the steps it takes to achieve the distinction of ‘Captain’ !!! I’ll keep you posted when the credential arrives!!!

So great to see you two advancing in this field. If I could do it all over again I think I would have to see if this would be for me. I can’t get enough of it on you tube. Of course I’ve aways had a boat but nothing like the one you girls have but I’m in LA not FL. Anyway congratulations to you both and thanks for letting this old lady live vicariously through you.

Refreshing seeing smart, talented women in this industry or way of life. Not going to lie, I am jealous. Even though it is a lot of hard work, seems very rewarding and sounds like finding a passion and hooking on to it.

Often times you don’t choose your career but the career chooses you. And seeing how much you love what you do, it’s not even work. It’s just pure fun. Thank you for sharing ladies. Love your channel. ❤️

Congratulations to the both of you. What an awesome accomplishment. Plus you're doing something that you love🤠

Good for you for taking the risk and going for it. You are enjoying life and earning a living at it. After 25 years of working, I'm still looking.

You are both very fortunate to have found your passion at such a young age. Congratulations to both of you. I just bought my first boat and I look forward to retirement (in 3 years) so that I can continue to learn on the water.

I'm glad ya'll followed what you wanted to do.

Just stumbled on your fishing , and immediately I was drawned, maybe because I'm a travel agent, free spirit, loved and grew up on the water as well ( can't swim a lick)because my dad(RIP) was a fisherman by hobby, which he ate and slept on his boat if he could. You guys seem like fellow ♈️. Anyway it's refreshing to see you're living life at peace in these crazy times.

Your first mentor Capt. Marlin Scott Fish monster. Awesome person! You had a great teacher!

I came across your channel and I subscribed immediately. Great content 👍🏻🤙🏻

Really enjoyed hearing your story, great video!

I went fishing with amanda when she worked at two conchs. You were an absolute blast to have on board and you really know your stuff.

First time watching and I will recommend your channel to my 7 year old twin granddaughters

I remember that summer. You got to work with Moses. What a blessing!!!!

You two are an inspiration my granddaughters will soon be watching your videos.

I am 40 and just about to buy my first boat (in Thailand). I didn't want to jump in without any knowledge so I have been researching boating and learning the rules but it seems like a lot is learnt out on the water. Still not wanting to be a complete dumbass I searched for information on how drive get up on plane and came across your videos. You two are freaking awesome on all your descriptions and adding the simple images really help. I thought I liked your video before but after learning that you were college T&F athletes I like you even more. I ran XC and track in college but I was a sad DII runners (lol) Love the video I will keep watching your new content as well as reviewing you older videos. Cheers!

I am amazed how can two beautiful twins get along together and having fun every time you go fishing, I love watching your videos in yu tube, keep it up best wishes for both of you.

Follow the breadcrumbs and follow your gut instinct, same thing. Y'all are beautiful and clearly smart, textbook and in life. Plus there's two of you.......very rare. Keep Killing it!!!

Follow the breadcrumbs, I like to call it The Holy Sprit! Great job ladies..the cool thing is that Your Story is just beginning!

Follow the bread crumbs (they should taste good) is the best life advice ever. Every young human should get that wise advice! You two are simply awesome! Greetings from Switzerland!

Well said! Way to follow your dreams!

The magic and synchronicity happens when you keep saying yes to opportunities.

You must always follow your heart. You Ladies are so talented you will be successful in whatever endeavor you pursue. Thank you for the chance to follow you through your adventure.

Hello Ladies, There's moments in life where it's not a matter of "why" but "why not"... Thankfully both of your outlooks have attracted the right people to guide you along your journey. Undoubtedly the "Gale Force Twins" are force to be reckoned with. Although twins, thank you for being yourselves and more importantly please extend many thanks to your parents on raising two outstanding people. In the meantime, thank you for you time and for flying Lufthansa Airlines... Fred C.

I did an in person 2 week condense course in San Diego, CA it was probably the toughest thing I have done between it, college, and the police academy. But I got it and now looking to become a vessel commander. Two things I love LE and the Ocean. I would telling anyone thinking about it go for it. It’s pretty tough but when your done you feel very accomplished.

Ladies, you are so refreshing. What an awesome channel. Btw, you might consider doing a video on sun protection. In your line of work, it's CRITICAL.

My 9 yr old grandaughter loves you guys! :-)

I love the vibes between you You remind me with my 2 daughters who attended the IGFA school at the age of 10 now they are in their 25 one is a dive master and the other is a free diving champion Both with great love for the ocean I hope one day they have the chance to fish with you guys

Glad you guys are UM alumni as well. It’s all about the U. Alumni class of 07.

Your girls are so positive to watch, and I think the short answer to why you became Captain's, should be - why not - it only makes sense! I'm really enjoying watching your videos especially during these Covid-19 days, which properly is also the reason why I start looking at your videos - I didn't even like fishing - I do love sailing though and somehow you girls pops up on my RU-vid, and with your dedication for what you're doing and how well you're communicating it to the viewer, it is just fantastic - I love it 😃 I'm even thinking about starting fishing now, thanks to your girls 😀

Fantastic video. It is always so interesting to find out what it was that drove someone to chose the profession they picked.And for the two of you, that were so into track in college, to pick to be captains, makes even more interesting.Awesome job!!!!

You guys I mean ladies are so refreshing I taken several charters you guys would be a great time you just love what your born to do giving that experience of a lifetime Love your videos very refreshing

I get the freeing thing. Being out on the water is-literally for me-my high holy place, my cathedral where I feel close to God, and my warp speed brain slows down and takes the beauty all in! YES MA'AMs! PLEASE do another vid about actually starting your business! Maybe you could include how you chose your boat, and whether you bought it brand new too?! For the gazillionth time...having followed since your first vids, I am just SO freaking proud of you two!!! Keep on casting Captains and here's to endless days of friendly waters and hungry fish!

Love your videos, but the still pictures of you guys are fantastic!!

Kudos to you both! Not sure why anyone would dislike this video. Obviously sad, jealous idiots. Keep it up!

Simply put. It was the next Logical Step.

Hello from Barbados ,I came across your videos,started with the anchor release,i.e with the ziptie and it was similar to what we do here but only better,so I thought I would check out more videos,this one with your story and the reason you made the choices you made,was wonderful to listen to....subscribed. Goodluck with your future endeavours.

Kudos to your parents, for an epic upbringing. I grew up fishing in the days when also called it catching. Now a veterinarian and weekend warrior fisherman. Fishing is too relieve stress, but like helping little animals feel less suffering. Since maybe 5th grade.Now days catching isn't 100%, but like you seeing whales, dolphins, seals, mantas, playing with whale sharks, turtles, all is good. Tighlines lines!

I'm an the airplane geek but when I saw you ladies well the content is amazing. I hit that subscribe button very quick LOL. This makes me want to come down to Florida for a fishing trip. It was really cool when you we're talking about flying around for the tournaments too. I'm in Ohio but I come down to volunteer for what pilots know as Sun and Fun.

Thanks for sharing your experience and excitement

How proud their parents must be of these two.

Emily and Amanda it's Bird from FFO omg y'all are awesome!!!! I've been hooked on watching y'all Stay Safe and Always Amazingly Awesome!!!!

Just started watching you young ladies, I have enjoyed every session I have watched. I have offshore fished in Ocean City MD most of my life. One day I would love to fish the waters of south Florida. It’s much different. Thank You for all the great information. Keep up the great work, and maybe you can fish one of our tournaments up in Ocean City, MD maybe the world famous White Marlin Open. Congratulations and keep up the great work

It raining early morning. It has been a bad week- lousy, cold weather, no fish in several days, your bones hurt when you wake up, and you wonder why do you do what you do. Then, you climb that flybridge, start the engines, and pull out the dock and think: This is the coolest job! Today we are gunna catch fish.

Captains Amanda and Emily, you both chose a hard profession (Charter Fishing) based on the love of fishing, and not money, which is more important. Life is short and it is great that you have both followed those crumbs to that cake! Enjoy!

Awesome. Thanks so much for sharing!

Great video ,and that Bull Mahi Wow can't wait to visit again ,Thanks best Wishes 🐟

You were describing what it's like to be alone up in the tower, I just find it is kind of spiritual out on the water between God and the Deep Blue Sea. Love your videos .. you two are so inspirational to so many people. Great work, Captains.. thanks for sharing, again. R/ Glenn L

Follow the bread crumbs! LOVE IT. Stealing this as my new motto.

Hey y'all I just subscribed I also just got my captain's license !!!y'all rock!!

Time to binge watch from 1st video to current. Not a single clickbait thumbnail, No side boobs or ass shots, Just a channel of exactly what it says, fishing!, I'm hooked, reel me in! Subscribed. Could you do a video on boat selection, maybe electronics what you need or don't need? How to deal with weather and a bad day of charter? I also appreciate how you shut the cameras off to do a charter, so you focus on the job/clients, Nice very professional.

Very down to earth!!
