Eating Whatever I Catch From a Giant Reef

[Applause] whew that's why I love catching these offshore fishing I think what everyone loves about it is there's just such a diverse amount of species that you have an opportunity to catch on this particular trip we took out of Pensacola Florida and if I had one word to describe the day it would be eventful I've been wanting to hang a big fish and I think it's finally happened here good morning folks welcome to another beautiful day right here in Pensacola Florida beautiful morning out here no wind so far there's going to be so many boats heading out this morning and it is snapper season in Alabama so there's gonna be a lot of people snapper fishing we got a packed house today on the Cobia y'all have to get back in Charter Captain mode today Brian they're on their own yeah we're taking off right now we're gonna stop and grab some bait and uh hopefully it's going to be a good day hey double up oh look at this I caught a little uh I got a little bar Jack I'm gonna have to toss him back and I did get a uh cigar minnow right here which is primo bait versus that one you just threw back they're just so much better and that little Jack could potentially be illegal I don't know what type of Jack it is and a lot of them are under like if it's a little AJ or something it's undersized there we go you got him bait fishing's going pretty quick this morning oh my gosh I got cut off by a mackerel dude like a Spanish just came up and cut it cut me off shouldn't have said shouldn't have said anything yeah I'll I'll uh Drive oh there's bait all over this tide line right here are they hard to get them to bite okay oh there he is yeah you're right got them these are cigars here no those are herring look at this guys now that is a big old herring that is a great bait right here we have found them really solid baits is that a piece of that looks like a piece of structure yeah and those those uh fish are hanging on it where is it that is is that a squirrel fish oh yeah definitely I got them down there there we go there's a cigar Mana they're just showering all around the boat right here and most of them are herring which I will gladly take some herring there we go right under the boat look at them showering everywhere whoo that was pretty easy bait fishing we're gonna head on out now about 30 miles see if we can get on some fish we just pulled up to our first spot check this out look at all these fish on the sonar I'm just going to take this little glass minnow jig right here and drop it down and watch how many fish Chase it up this spot is so good there he is I got him got him oh hey there we go double up there's a ton of them underneath the boat right here dang I may I might have a bigger one all right unless unless we're uh we're Tangled yeah I grabbed the net we're Tangled and so yeah do we have the same fish no we don't you have a fish that's my fish and you have a fish that your line is still out check that out y'all first fish Alma Kojak good eater we're gonna keep this guy so what I'm doing to keep these fish around the boat is taking some Chum and just tossing it out and that keeps these fish in a Feeding Frenzy they are right under the boat I'm looking at them right here Apollo you wired up oh he's coming he's coming there he has got him oh man they that is cool got the almaco's fired up stop and get a few of them before we head out even further put your camera on all right cool another nice almaco right here check it out they look just like an amberjack except they're really good to eat and you can keep them let's get after another one oh there's one I want him I want him there he is oh there he is got him this is the almaco spot right here dude you got a fish like that that is cool right here y'all it is as soon as you get a bait down it's crazy that'll be my last one I'm keeping I'm gonna go get after something else just pulled up to our new spot I'm gonna take a live bait right here and throw it out maybe get a king you never know all right out ready put it in the rod holder ready to roll do some chumming right here get these fish up there we go we're gonna break out the slow pitch jigging setup right here drop it down and see if we can't jig something off the bottom so this is a slow pitch jigging setup and you almost the real is super powerful and you want to fight the fish with the reel so we did just hit bottom oh I'm already on oh God I got hammer and he cut my jig off what the heck man I got my jig cut off Brian are getting expensive good gracious all right we're going to try this again hopefully no King mackerels this time we want our Kings to hit our lit top rod with our leader but that that's not happening there he is you got him got him on The Jig there he goes nice you have to fight them with the reel and so you almost bring the Reel up as at think of the real as it's rod and it's a really uh effective way to fish but I think this is going to be a trigger fish right here it's a trigger but he ain't big enough the first fish on the slow pitch jigging setup is a trigger not legal to keep so we are going to release this guy we just got hammered out here we just got hammered yeah there's a fish got him oh yeah that's gonna be another Bonita I believe but that's okay we can use them to keep these fish Charmed around the boat that's fine what's up guys we're we're gonna get tangled like crazy there we go glad that came off there we go these Bonitas fight so hard we're gonna cut this guy up and use him for Chum what in the world I may have fouled my jig up earlier and it turned out to be a small trigger uh maybe ate it look at this holy cow guys y'all check out this fish right here that I just caught on the butterfly jig wow good gracious I'm not sure some kind of a race or Hogfish we've had so much action today this is the first time I've got a break of any kind for like five minutes but I'm sure one of these rods will go off in a second come on yeah there's a king right under the boat and the water is so blue today they're being really picky oh he's on it he said oh my gosh dude come on come on come on this guy's being so picky right here oh we got it you got it he got it come on come on come on got him there he is dude didn't know he was hooked somebody want to Gaff it [Applause] that's why I love catching these Kings smokers anybody but Brian can Gaff it yeah these guys are fun man but I try to get him like right by the pectoral fin foreign that's what they're so hard to catch today because they're not eating the bait because of this look at him he's hooked right in the side he may come unbuttoned all right just Gaff him just sticking just stick him go now got him got him there you go perfect they're so much fun nice Kingfish we're gonna keep this guy we're gonna keep these Kings chummed up here just getting these Bonitas chunked keeps these fish around the boat all right we're getting we're taking care of business now get another Herring going all right they're uh right in there eight ounce teardrop or something like that would be fun all right we are back down with the jig there he is got him there we go oh that's a decent fish here that's a decent fish whoo dude he's coming up he's coming out he's coming out he's coming out oh my gosh I've been wanting to hang a big fish and I think it's finally happened here this is the smoothest fighting fish that I we've hung I mean it could be a shark so we got one nice keeper Scamp on board this could be a shark and if it's a shark it's okay but it also could be a beast of a grouper it's a shark dang dude I just can you believe I just caught a shark this big on this little combo this quick look at them that is that is a big old shark dude look at this oh my gosh whoa what the hell oh oh wait oh we got a fish on the air too oh somebody come grab it got a fish on our top rod oh that's a good one that's a good one that's a good one he's on come tight just start reeling there you go there you go holy cow Lambert he said it might be another one you might want to watch it oh you got a big yeah I think you got a big king just let him run that's a good one oh there he goes got the hook out nice getting a little bit crazy out here right now all right I just caught a big fish on the butterfly jig and he's got what we think is a real nice King and it could be a big Bonita but we'll see here very shortly I do see color I don't know uh what we're working with oh yeah nice King man look at there real nice King dude or tuna that's a tuna that's a tuna let me get the Gaff that's the tuna that's a tuna here here all right Brian you hold this that's a nice tuna man all right oh yes what a black fin right there guys yeah nice dude that is a massive Blackfin tuna you know I I thought for a second that it could be but I didn't want to say anything we're going to take a slow ride back see if we can run over any weed lines maybe get on some Mahi if we do not we'll catch you guys at the dock well we made it back folks we're about to take these fish up clean them up maybe take some home and cook I might take me a tuna steak home yep this morning guys we did bleed this black fin I didn't show it in the video but it is always important to bleed your tuna [Applause] check this out right here these are our Blackfin tuna steaks and if you eat these guys fresh to me they are excellent obviously they don't have as much meat as a yellowfin but they still good let me show you what we're going to do to them we're just going to cook these guys on the skillet let's salt and season them up just some salt and pepper now one thing that is important is you don't want to cook tuna very long it's always cool when you get a tuna out there that's we and you know uh you can catch tuna if you go 80 100 miles pretty regularly but we were only 25 miles off the beach so when we get a tuna it's pretty cool throw some olive oil soy sauce so now that we have our tuna in our little Bowl right here we're going to marinate for a little bit and then we're ready to cook it up we're gonna add some butter and some olive oil to the skillet [Music] so we're gonna do about a minute on each side I like it super rare tuna is one of my favorite fish this yes so now that we have our fresh tuna cooked we're gonna make a little dipping sauce so this is what Melanie recommended okay and she is behind the camera hey guys this is Honey by the way and we're putting honey in our bowl of soy sauce and then we are going to use some lime juice a dash of sesame oil check that out guys foreign look at that guys that is beautiful right there and that is what we're going to be eating and it's not when you cook tuna it is not gonna be good if you overcook it I can assure you of that we're going to take our black fin dip it in our sauce right here so I've said this before on the channel tuna is probably my favorite fish I prefer fresh Yellowfin but I will take black fin all day long especially one that big where you get a lot of meat off of them guys if you enjoyed that video please shoot me a big thumbs up everything I'm involved with is linked in my description below
