In this episode, Captain Chris Hanson, Captain Lain Goodwin, and Earl Byrd, III head out to explore one of the Florida Keys’ most productive fishing styles: patch fishing. Patch fishing means targeting small coral reef patches and the surrounding grass beds, drawing fish into open water with live bait and light tackle. The Guyz break down how they choose and rig live pilchards, why bait presentation matters, and how these Key Largo spots can produce a variety of species including mutton snapper, mangrove snapper, and yellow jack. As the bite turns on, Chris, Lain, and Earl bring the action, the knowledge, and the kind of boat banter that makes a day on the water memorable. The episode also covers important fishing regulations, including mutton snapper size and bag limits, with a reminder that responsible fishing helps protect the Florida Keys fishery for the future. There’s also a hilarious gear moment involving a “borrowed” rod, a little friendly negotiation, and plenty of classic The Fish Guyz humor. After the fishing wraps, the crew cleans up the boat with Booyah Clean products before heading into the kitchen with Chef Cat Pfeiffer, who turns fresh fish into an easy, cheesy seafood quesadilla. Whether you’re planning a Key Largo fishing trip, learning how to patch fish, or looking for a fun catch-and-cook episode, this one delivers Florida Keys fishing, useful tips, and plenty of personality.

Tuna & Yellowtail Fishing Mayhem | Nonstop Offshore Action
Step aboard one of the most storied ships in American maritime history — the USCGC Ingham, now preserved as the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Ingham Maritime Museum in Key West, Florida. In this episode, we explore the 327-foot steel cutter that served for more than five decades and became known as the most decorated ship in Coast Guard history. Commissioned in 1936, the Ingham was built for long-range patrols, search and rescue missions, and life-saving service at sea. But when World War II arrived, this powerful cutter was refitted for combat and sent into the dangerous waters of the Atlantic. During the Battle of the Atlantic, the Ingham helped protect Allied convoys from German U-boats and earned its place in history with the confirmed destruction of U-626 in 1942. After the war, the ship continued serving through ocean weather patrols, humanitarian missions, and later, deployment during the Vietnam War. Today, the Ingham rests at Truman Waterfront Park in Key West as a National Historic Landmark and living museum. Much of the ship remains preserved as it was when decommissioned in 1988, giving visitors an authentic look at life aboard a working Coast Guard cutter. From deep-sea adventures to unforgettable history, Key West proves once again why it is close to perfect, far from normal.
