Thanks so much for your kind words. Take care!
Just got around to watching your Video Keith , really enjoyed this one , been chasing trout lately , I’m a member of LaTag recently i gotten a report back on one of my reds I tagged , travelled 41 miles out to the Candelier islands were a fella caught it again and reported it to LaTag , ya caught some fine reds , I’m going this morning to do the same , hope to have the same outcome , Thanks again for sharing your video , looking forward to seeing the next one , need to take the family on one of those redfish round ups .
@@karlrockvoan755 Hats off to you for doing what you do on tagging fish. That's awesome that you do that. Sure is amazing to know that those fish travel so far. I'm definitely gonna be taking my crew out there soon to try and catch a few more reds. Good luck to you out there. Always good hearing from you! 🎣
Got a report back this morning from TagLa some fella caught one of my 19 inch trout I tagged & released 8 days ago
@@karlrockvoan755 That's awesome buddy!
I've been and worked all over this earth but my years in Louisiana and the friends I have made from there are the most memorable of this Tennessee man's life.
This was a great video! So exciting! I felt like I was in the boat with you! Beautiful redfish!
Laugh, as they say in Germany, let me (mich), or mir (me) work. The correct answer Keith, let others work. Beautiful fish you have, really wonderful paradise for anglers and fishermen. Impressive, just what could see with the drone. Beautiful days, have fun at work, with me always starts on Mondays, the weekend. Smile. Greetings from Frankfurt.
You know what they say, all work and no play SUCKS. 🤣🤣🤣 I do my best to play as much as I can. We have some amazing places to fish around here. Definitely a sportsman paradise. Thanks buddy. Take care! 🎣🎣🎣
Keith, I envy you, at least when it's crap weather here. In summer, with the temperatures and high humidity, especially when it has rained, I'd rather not be in your corner. But your paradise, already something great. Stay clean. Greetings from Frankfurt.👍🥃👍@@datlouisianalife
Louisiana "Sportsman Paradise" Y'all doing a fantastic job representing your State, Country, Culture! Later😉
Your videos just keep getting better and better. Keep up the great work.
Thanks so much for the great feedback! We appreciate you!
My favorite day of the week with you guys.. Love love your videos 😍 Linda from Missouri 👍🥰😊♥️
Thank you Linda! We love hearing from you. 🎣🎣🎣
I fished for redfish for years, out of all the fish they are the hardest to set hook and get in the boat. I say this not blowing smoke, you are the best redfish catcher I have ever seen :) FA REAL! love your videos.
I really appreciate that! I have my moments when it's hard to hook them but its all part of fishing! 🎣
Now that is some fun. Behind G.M. in the marsh 1/4 ounce gold spoon. You got it going dude.
I'm a big fan of fishing with silver and gold 1/4 spoons. I prefer to use the spoons when the grass is thick. I use spoons a lot around the Point Aux Chenes area.
Wait. Wait. WAIT! You can go fishing for deer in that bayou?!?! Dang, Keith. Louisiana really is a Sportsmen’s Paradise! LOL You be safe out there… Cheers! Whipple
Whipple, of course he would see that deer when I'm not with him! 😭
@@datlouisianalife Well sure, Tara. That’s always the case! Ha!
@@Whipple1 She could have took off work and came with me but I guess she cares about her job. 🤣🤣🤣
What a beautiful playground it is that's for sure ,redfish are fighters heck yeah and that female crab was really pretty thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it
Another good day on the water good job…..I got to get me a Gator boat NICE 👍😎
Thank you! 🎣
I love my GatorTail.
Just wanted to remind you that you are doing wonderful work. Love your channel. You have a Billy Bob Thorton vibe about you :)
I really appreciate that! And I like Billy Bob. 🍻
Well thanks for taking us along on THAT little excursion! Almost WALKING on them, eh? Unreal. What a peaceful day. The kind most fisherman I know live for. Sorry you lost the big one ...but way to take in stride! Great job, great attitude, and kudos on catching dinner. And oh yeah, that IS one helluva playground (and toy--the boat)!! Cheers man. Nice to see a guy having a truly excellent day of fishing alone. That kind of experience is so rare (for most) and sought after. LOL on the ramp return----ONE CAR! Bah ha h ahaha hah aha!! YOU got it FIGURED OUT.
I do enjoy going fishing solo, but I much rather when my whole crew is with me. It doesn't always work out where we all off together. I get a few days off during the week (hence the reason why there were no vehicles at the landing) which gives me a chance to scout out some new area. I truly enjoy being out there whether I'm catching or not. It's the best stress reliever there is. Thank you for all your great comments! The one thing I think I got figured out is, that life is short so we gonna do the things we love to do as much as we can. 🎣🎣🎣 Happy Thanksgiving!🦃
Beautiful fish. Great video.
Man y’all continue playing and having fun.that’s what life is all about bro.
We do pretty good on the playing around and having fun. I gotta figure out a way to retire from work so I can play full time. 🤣
I was just down in the Cut off, Galliano area about 30 miles east working on the new Hwy 1 bridge repairing a crane and I have to say it is a beautiful area.The people are really nice and I found some great food there. If you are ever there try Me Maws on 3235 in Galliano. Bacon wrapped shrimp for the win! Lots of Reds and crab there too.
I've been that way many times. I use to work in Port Fourchon. Very friendly people!
Love them shallow water reds. Whooooo. 🎣
The master of sight fishing. Those reds were beautiful…perfect size. Great video
I'm definitely not the master. I need a tower for my front deck so I can advance to pro level. I was catching some beautiful fish that day. Thanks buddy! Much love to you and the family! 🎣
me and my grandson enjoy your videos especially the ones in Florida shooting the iguana. a lot of fun to watch
Thank you! Hopefully we can make it back to Florida one day and do that again. It was an awesome experience. 🦎
You couldn't have picked a more beautiful day to get out on the water. Looked like a Red fish rodeo Louisiana style out on your play ground . You ,Tara , Drake and Andy will be eating good tonight . ha. Thanks for another great video Keith.
It was a fantastic day. The only way it could have been better is if Tara and Drake were with me but it doesn't always work out that way. Thank you!🎣
Yes Sir.....Always awesome when the entire crew is out there with you. You guys make a great team. :)@@datlouisianalife
Great Beautiful Day !!! Better have that drag set. Lol you lost the Bigun.
It was over once he took off under the boat. Thanks buddy! 🎣
Good video bud keep on keeping on some nice reds to I would love to go red fishing in the bayou
Thank you! 🎣🎣🎣
I’ve been dying to go red fishing for the first time awesome vid bro
Thanks buddy! 🎣🎣🎣
Saludos desde costa rica......
What's up!!!!
I would have to say you live in the Promise Land.Awesome video brother
Thank you! 🎣
Hey L Fam; What Dat?? Weather's too Nice Today... "Lets go Fishen"! 🐟 Ohh, Yeah! Nice Reds! 😋! I sure wouldn't want to get Stuck out there though! You know what your boat is capable of doing! 😉😃! GBU.,SM.,NZ., ✌❤😁👍😎🐟😋
We been having some great weather over here. I call in sick for work when the weather is this good 🤣🤣🤣! Always great hearing from you! 🎣🎣🎣
Brother that was awesome watching those reds smoke that bait. Looks like you have the best spot ever, most videos that people put out they catch them too big or too small to keep. Keep the videos coming and I'll keep watching them.
I was definitely in a good spot. It doesn't matter how many times I go Redfishing, I still get excited being out there seeing those Reds in the shallow marshes. Thanks for the positive feedback. 🎣🎣🎣
I came across of your channel Great content great video love it!! NEW FRIEND 👍😉🎣
Really appreciate that buddy! 🎣
That deer was lunch for the Gators lol
Like the cap. Wish I had a Falstaff one.
Check out printerval.com for a Falstaff hat.
Oooo Ms Tara we miss you!!!!We still love Keith lol
I wish she could of came with me. I might take her next time. 🤣🤣🤣
Awesome day of fishing buddy. You definitely have a nice playground on that end.see y’all soon (later)👍☕️⛴️🎣☕️
I truly love fishing those shallow marshes and hunting up some Redfish. Gets the blood flowing. 🤣 Thanks buddy! See y'all soon. 🎣🎣🎣
Nice ! This is one of the most beautiful forms of fishing I've ever seen. Grtz from Belgium.
That is my favorite kind of fishing. Every time I go still feels like my first time. I get just as excited. Thank you! 🎣🎣🎣
i fished the marsh tuesday 8 redfish were caught 15-16 inches long they gotta be 18 in ms waters but tuned out to be catch n release day which I planned on was scouting out some new waters them 18-24 inch reds are the perfect tablefare!
Ours is 16", with only 1 over 27. We can keep 5.
Like your videos keep it up thanks
Thank you! 🎣
Good afternoon Keith ! That was some real good footage of all the fish in the marsh area ! Nice catches & seeing that deer go across was cool ! Hi Tara, Drake & double ear rubs Andy ! Keep smiling !
Definitely don't see deer swimming across the bayou too much. Fishing for Redfish in the marsh is one of our favorite things to do. I wish Tara and Drake could have been with me that day but it doesn't always work out that way. Thank you for all your awesome comments. 🎣🎣🎣
Great content, thanks for sharing it!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome video! Another great day to play on the water!
Thanks buddy! It was a beautiful day out there. 🎣
great video.. after watching the drone video , it amazes me you dont get lost in all that marsh.. I like your hat.. Jax beer my favorite
I actually got my first hat from Jax Brewery, and it flew out my boat several weeks ago. I was heartbroken, but found one just like it on Amazon. 🤣 Thanks buddy! Always appreciate your positive feedback!
@@datlouisianalife Wowser.. I can see why you were heartbroken
@@bbulliard I didn't think I would find another one. Apparently Amazon has everything
Love your videos. Yes indeed you have a great play ground. Keep them coming Larry from Missouri 😂
Thank you! 🎣🎣🎣
Gorgeous fish, gonna be delicious eating. Miss fishing. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the positive feedback! 🐟 🐠
Nice job being your own net man! Tara you seeing this.....that what happens when you go SOLO Nice video
She gonna be there all over them Reds next time. She ain't gonna let me go back unless she's in the boat. 🤣 Thank you!
Awesome day in the marsh!
I never saw a deer in the marsh always heard of them out there. Fishing like that for reds is like hunting so much fun! Tara is gonna kick your but you tease her about having to work like that! 🤣Good footage buddy!!
Definitely don't see deer swimming across the bayous much around there. I'm definitely gonna have to take Tara next time. That's her favorite kind of fishing. Mine too! Thanks buddy! 🎣🎣🎣
Good video 👍👍. We launch at T-irv's all the time. We fish around Bayou Plot and Grand Caillou Bayou. I don't recognize the area you were in. Any hints 😁? Enjoyed the video. Keep them coming. 👍👍
I don't normally fish Dulac much but I been trying some new places. I was fishing around Bayou Rambo. I rode around until I started seeing Redfish and started fishing. The water was really low that day so it was easy to spot them. Thanks buddy! Maybe we will bump into each other out there.
Awesome Red fishing !! 👍
Thank you for another great video. I know that fishing was fun!
It was a blast. Tara is itching to get out there and catch some Redfish. Thank you! 🎣🎣🎣
Love these videos! Thanks for posting.
Thank you! 🎣
You have an awesome life
I do feel blessed to be able to enjoy all the amazing areas we have around us and to have a family that enjoys it with me.
Great video looks like a great day love fishing those waters. Hey.
Thank you! 🎣🎣🎣
Awesome
Awesome video and SO many redfish. Great to see you catching them! Your channel has taken OFF!! Congrats. I gotta get back to it. Life gets in the way as we all know. See you on next one and all the best ahead. Cheers!
Hey buddy! Great to hear from you. It's been a while. Hope all is well on your end. I sure hope to see some more videos from you. Take care my friend. 🎣🎣🎣
@@datlouisianalife Thanks a lot. Definitely more ahead. I hope!! Keep enjoying life my friend.
Good fishing 😅😅 steve
Are there bears in Louisiana? I just realized I never seen a bear and gator fight, I'm going to have to search KZhead after I watch this. LOL
They have black bears in Louisiana. I'm sure a bear and gators crossed paths at some point.
Awesome video! Man, my heart was pounding! The red fish are built for that kind of fight! Whis I could have been there!
I can assure you, my blood was flowing. Those Reds are truly a force to be dealt with. Thanks buddy! 🎣🎣🎣
can we look forward to some footage of you in the duck blind? would be great to see some teal hunting soon. great stuff.
I'll try and get some duck hunting footage. Thanks buddy! 🎣🍻
Saludos .desde Miami Florida soy cubano veo todos tus videos gracias .
Thank you! 🎣🎣🎣
Keith and the family.
In LA yall call them Redfish and here in N C we call them puppydrum , they are delicious !
Yes, they are very good to eat and fun to catch. 🎣
Great video, as usual. Missed seeing the family.
I wish they could of came with me. Work schedules don't always line up. Thank you!
Very entertaining video!
Thank you! 🐊
Love the channel!
Thank you! 🎣
oh boy, I miss marsh.
Like a fish in a barrel lol, good day indeed man.
Redfish all over the place ! Sight casting like that is fun ! That mud motor just don't care does it, shallow water don't mean nothing.
That's definitely my favorite kind of fishing. That GatorTail is a beast. It performs extremely well in the shallow Marshes. Thanks buddy 🎣
Awesome fish 🤙
Thanks!
Hello Mr. Keith! Thanks for the video! I just watched a video of you and Miss Tara catching redfish from a couple of months ago. I am anxious about coming down this December! Would you give a video on filleting?
We are starting to get some really nice weather and the fish are definitely biting. I'll do a little more detailed fish cleaning next time. I'm no pro but I've cleaned my fair share of fish. Thank you! 🎣🎣🎣
Nice spot
Brother Dat channel growing
that was a really good video, but no chance I could fish in 1 foot of water with my 20' bay boat. keep up the great videos
I would probably have to pull you out. 🤣
@@datlouisianalife you are so correct
Those rods are so good for the money.
I agree. Definitely been enjoying the ones we got.
really nice video especially the drone view. was that a dropping or rising tide?
The tide was falling. It was crazy shallow in there but sometimes that's not a bad thing. Thank you! 🎣
If you were stuck in Jacksonville Florida instead of sportsman's Paradise you use those crabs for redfish bait. Because you'd be casting your arm off with a matrix shad to try to catch a redfish here!!
Y'all must have some picky fish. The fish over here eat pretty much anything. 🎣🎣🎣
@@datlouisianalife we have to fish our asses off! Ya'll CATCH....ya don't fish. Been in the charter biz here for 27 yrs full-time and I'm ready to MOVE!
@@CaptDavesSportfishing Dang buddy! You been in the game a long time. Much respect to you. Come on over to Louisiana and mix it up a little. The fishing has been great. Trout are all over right now.
@@datlouisianalife TROUT are my favorite...takes all day here to catch a limit or 2, at 5 per person!!!!
nice
Man that is so beautiful ❤
🤘
Awesome action. Can’t wait to get back in that marsh. It’s been too long. What is the best month to catch reds in the marsh?
Just started getting good. Next month should be great!
amazing video.. also amazing, your bait cast reel never backlashes like mine. what kind of reel is that? thanks and again really great videos
I been really enjoying those reels. The brand is 13. Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving!🦃
I would b lost. I would definitely need a drone to get home
It gets a little tricky out there sometimes. That adds to the fun. 🤣
Love your videos. What was your other boat with the bow mount hand control trolling motor?
I sold that one. It had a 25 hp GatorTail. I really needed something with a little more power so I got a 40 hp. Definitely a game changer. Thank you! 🎣
@@datlouisianalifeI'm looking at getting a 35hp. They'll give you a ticket if they catch you with that 40hp in a wildlife management area. Just depends on the officer checking you.
💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Keep coming out a lot of videos you and wife please
We love that people get enjoyment from our videos! We are doing what we love to do and we are blessed to be able to share with others!
What is y’all’s favorite ways to cook the reds? I enjoy the videos. Thank you
We enjoyed making fish cakes and grilling them. Appreciate the feedback! 🎣🎣🎣
good job // do a video on how that motor works .. it looks home built . is that marsh Cajun engine.
Those motors are very popular around my area. It's a 40 hp GatorTail. It's not a home built motor. They perform very well in the southern marsh areas.
Thanks for the videos! question? how do you not get lost in that stuff? lol!
I get a little turned around sometimes but I always find my way out. Thank you!🎣
What’s up Hey what kinda drone u flying sir .. I’m a big fan of..
It's a DJI mini 3 pro. Thank you! 🎣
What kind of trolling motor do have my brother? Awesome video ❤
It's a minn kota riptide co-pilot. 12v 55lb Thank you! 🎣
@@datlouisianalife man after I sent that question I seen u had it in the description 🤦♂️😂
What drone do u use if u don’t mind me asking
It's a DJI. If you click on the description of the video, I have a link to more info on the drone.
Last question, Have you ever got lost out there in the swamp?
I did long time ago but with all the new technology, I haven't got lost for too long lately. Get a little turned around sometimes but I find my way. 🤣
Which part of Louisiana is that I’m all the way up here I’m bossier I watched the most popular video y’all have and looks fun what city is that
Our camp is in Pierre Part. We go to bossier to visit my dad. Thanks buddy!
👍🏽
Pov my dad when we go fishing:
What kind of motor is on your boat?
It's a 40hp GatorTail
If we all just kept what we needed the redfish would be plenttiful
From what I can tell, the Redfish population in my area looks really good.
Do you do any gator hunting?
Never did any gator hunting. It wouldn't be hard to hunt them. They everywhere!
Do you have GPS on your boat ?? How do you not get lost ???
Just wing it most of the time. Had to pull out my phone gps before but not often. Sometimes getting a little turned around out there works out for the best. Probably how I find most of the fish 🤣
is that dulac? and what marina is that if you dont mind me asking?
T-Irv's in Dulac
Thank you
@@bbulliard Happy Thanksgiving!🦃
@@datlouisianalife Happy thanksgiving to you and your family also.. and keep up the fantastic world class videos!!
Nice fishes! I'm visiting Houma, how can I fishing with u?
Where do you launch
I launched at T-Irv's in Dulac.
Are those good eating kind of remind me of carp??
They are delicious fried, grilled, baked, and fantastic to make fish cakes with! - Tara
They are redfish. Real name is a red drum. Their related to the fresh water drum or what we call in south Louisiana the gaspergou or gou. Under appreciated because of the amount of bones in that rib area. But put them on a grill and make a sauce with BBQ sauce, butter, honey, and hot sauce......man your making me plan my next fishing trip.
