right let's go be it we just got a big bite we're hoping for a big queen it really hammered it a doubled over could be a grouper it's a yellow edge that'd be good they're open but snowys are close we'll have to see what happens maybe it's a double header big old fat queens when you get a piece of fish down there squid down there on the bottom you know for bait anything can eat out here in the ocean i mean you never know what's going to eat it so here we go we got color down there is that a big yellow it's a big grouper it's a big grouper hopefully it's a yellow edge guys yeah nice yellow edge grouper you guys that's james's first one he's ever caught yellow that's a beautiful that's a beauty big old yellow edge grouper this one's picture worthy look at that group of them oh yeah you grab that wedge look at that grouper yeah i haven't caught a big one of those all year good job guys i've never caught one of these yeah look he ate two baits yeah that's sweet yeah similar to a snowy group like white house but their fin tips the edges are yellow that's what i call a yellow edge grouper and he was so good though he just inhaled it it's a good way to start the day there even we don't get a swordfish now we got dinner that vmc hulk had him really good he was not coming up there he was not coming off we're gonna ice him down see what else happens today we had a bite a swordfish whacked it the tip went pink got one on guys to make our day let's bring it up with this other rod so we're on 1600 feet of water 15.99 lots of bait here today lots of bait so i started eating their donuts you know they left the powdered doughnuts up here if you leave it by me i'm probably gonna eat some of your food so just keep that in mind it was coming up when he hit it but he's on there for now we're bringing up the uh front bait there just piled on another swordfish on there double header on hopefully they stay hopefully at least one stays all right so we got a doubleheader swordfish on there this could be hectic around the boat they're tricky around the boat so a lot of you guys ask you know if we can hand crank you can hand crank all you want you know i did i do whatever you guys want to do i just try to make sure everyone's having fun this might be a nice one yeah yeah this one's scoping up this could be a good one here guys oh you just come off or jump that one came off right there so close wow look how beautiful this thing is yeah we're on the board grab that one all right we got one on the other one got away but uh what a great day it's not even noon yet it's 11 53. we got a couple queen snappers we got a swordfish we got a nice yellow edge grouper we got a little tune and we got a mahi we got it all today they're biting yeah just lights right like we're checking our bait this one's heavy i think we got calamari oh yeah right in the eye tada calamari that was down there we're about to call it a day no action for a couple hours but we caught a squid and uh we just hooked a sword seems like a small one but hopefully stays on there getting closer now maybe we can tag and release them if so hopefully beautiful fish we got a tag look at this he coughed up a squid back here there's a squid back there floating so that's what that swordfish was eating james you want to jump in and get the squid look at that we got californi wow he's still alive he just ate it holy cow it was still moving look at that he's still moving holy smokes i thought he was sorry put your finger down wrap around that's the color of the duck yeah look at that holy

call it a day two swords lost a third one we got a mahi we've got a couple queens got a really nice yellow edge grouper we're going back to button marriage we'll see you back in there enjoy the ride you watch the videos you do what's your name tyler tyler where are you from cape coral they're from cape coral i came by to say hey you watch the videos uh you're gonna watch this one hopefully all right there you go corey that's corey cantori you guys he was giving us live updates during tropical storm aydah so he was he was risking his life out there on the street the weather's calmed down a lot lately so we can get back to fishing yeah you know lee actually over here he gave cory contor his nickname himself we're partners for partners partners partners these kids they were here waiting first when we pulled in there what's your guys names we went out surfing you guys are from where heroes are yeah they're from pharaoh they're up the road about four hours from us they came by to say hey and see all the fish did you see the swordfish yeah all right we got fish to clean so here we go another friday here look at these beards really coming in good yeah beautiful yellow edge grouper you guys 36 incher we're gonna cut him up and they got queen snapper to eat they got a group where they got mahi a little tuna and they got swordfish that was the main goal so now this thing's super slimy a lot of these deep water fish are slimy you can probably see that coming off my fingers there so we're going to take the hose we're going to spray some of that slime off and then work our way down here right over his rib cage knock some of those scales off this is one of my favorite eating fish right here of all the fish we catch this would be my top three why do you want to watch him do this partially too because we don't catch a ton of them we just catch a handful of them that's a nice one ate that squid early this morning even though we didn't get the swordfish we would have had a decent day because everyone was happy catching some bottom fish so just using that knife though working our way right down the backbone now james is over there he's doing the swordfish but i'm going to do the grouper here and the queens and the mahi and that one tuna now his belly will be a good fresh swordfish bait look how white that fillet is though absolutely gorgeous meat here they do a good job yeah they do the most in the world no doubt about it look how white that meat is on him isn't that pretty this is the yellow edge yeah this is my top three favorite fish to eat both the meat's really good and they're kind of tricky to catch we don't catch tons of them so just gonna knock that uh center bone out for you damn this is the cream of the crap right here that's bones in there i can eat that there you go grouper fillet there half here i'm gonna flip them over and do this other side now i'm gonna save his whole head here maybe we'll get you making mike see if i can break it off there we go so it just broke there he's broke his spine a bigger knife would be better like a boning knife but james has got it over there so i'm using the flexible blade now all right so there's the guts we're going to save that for crab bait that's gonna be for stone crab traps now our trap's out of the water right now but we're gonna put them back in a couple weeks we got the new baby so sarah's time is limited to do some less stuff right now but there you go so check out visit neptune there riley was fishing with us today we had a good time as family and uh we'll see you guys a little while all right all right we got mike here we got the grouper head bean came by here i am yes sorry the roughest stuff is jamaican here oh rough is still facing all right what are we gonna do mike we're gonna fry this head up or what yeah man thinks i want to fry it up you know it's nice immediately it could steam it but yeah i'm gonna think somewhat i like to fry it you know good color in the eyes no cloudiness so nice yeah yeah yeah one is still fresh on nice you know that looks good this is that yellow edge grouper we caught the other day we had in the cooler for a couple days on ice and uh everybody loved mike and being the last video so we're getting the band back together and uh here we go so cold front came through you can see there's rich he's good on his nice uh sweater thing whatever that's called oh yeah thanks jamie i don't know if my wife got it for him everybody said did foster get after you oh no he's like say foster over here just one just like it right yeah yeah all right so everyone's getting their winter clothes on it's warming up though but let's watch mike prep this and then we're gonna fry this bad boy up oh i got it here it is the scaler yeah i'm gonna after the skill a big time you know right there it's a rough stuff a scala right there yeah yeah it's slimy star and i'm going to take after my slime you know real nice but it's fresh and nice proper you know but that one that's still on my maybe i'll eat the eye i don't know we'll see people fried fish i eat the eye man put in jamaica yeah man i eat fish eye before yeah with smaller one yeah a smaller one like plate size fish you eat the whole head they let it fried up crispy but they do in jamaica you fried the fish but smaller fish you know i never see like a big one for like smaller clear sized fish yeah my fried top on five nights like people chew up all the bone man all this sideboard john chew them come on so let's get off all of the skills then first before i do anything else you know because you know this are the hardest part right now just cleaning it up you have to make sure it clean up real nice real proper yeah real professional prep work is important yes it's very important until yeah you see after clean up if you have to clean up all of that so let's kill them up nicely you know it was a cool day down here what was it like 59 we woke up yeah first cold front december 1st you see it some some uh some fish had soup really warm up my soul right now you see it i would have the best thing right now oh yeah you want to change it to a fish at soup we've been waiting to fry a big grouper head for a while so mike's gonna share some knowledge rest today yeah i know you got some mutton has a back stock somewhere yeah ah don't make me twist your arm so you know the fischer troop is coming i like to take off some of these you know yeah yeah i like to take these off you don't have to and that's why i call it a yellow edge grouper their fin tips are yellow hopefully you can see that they're in the sunlight so yellow edge grouper like crazy looking yeah look how spread out it's pretty look like a butterfly it does look be a butterfly look at that looks like a coral fan yeah or something like that yeah kind of cutting down like that there yeah yeah so i mean so now it's like you know i got to cut the truth koto into right here in jamaica i said boss it's what you know so i gotta bust them on another chore right yes sir so i can get it kinda you know ah so that's you know so i got this i kind of brushed it through it like that seeing so i want to get to the getting real easier so get in there and say kind of bust it through it like that right so all right so normally i'll go for the gills now so you see all right that's got to come out yeah uh it's got to be real clean these are sharp too these right here they get you it's good to have like a gloves and all of that because it helps you know so cut out the gill yeah there we go it's like ah easy with that all right let's do it see i gotta get on the tongue yeah everything oh no yeah so nice so it's just muscular left now it's just a good clean up you know spray out wash out i know i said my after bringing the lime juice with a little bit of vinegar just so you know that's why some some people don't bother with it because all the work you know it's a lot of work just yeah the brush up because see i can kind of clean them up you know that's what we use on a swordfish on the inside of their bellies sometimes yeah to get away yeah all of them and stuff there you know you don't want to fight with all that stuff in there you want to get out of the gills and all the inside out you know see it everything are kind of cleaning out now we're going to spray them out and nick give me a good idea with the wire brush the wire brush is perfect forget after extra skills and just brush it down you know clean off all the excess stuff so thank you for that nick that's i never know about the wire brush on it but we're always learning you know that's the thing we're always learning and teaching each other things and i've never used a wire brush on the outside of the fish i'd always use on the inside he was on a scale there's cleaned his head right on up yeah it's perfect for it perfect yeah i'm on i love it everything nice and clean though you know the water i don't know what happened to the water right now let's see what's going on we lost our water yeah might have to get you a bucket of ocean water to rinse them rinse them off another ocean water in a bucket yeah which is which is pretty good you know because you know the pipe water got chlorine in it but it might even be better yeah it's definitely better though you know it's just that i don't have the hose to spray it now to like spray these little stuff or the pressure or the hose would help but trust me in jamaica i saw what would see them wear with a sketchbook without water and stuff like that you know groups grow up certain ways sometimes we don't have a pipe you know you just have to use water from a tank or you know catch water in a bucket and all them stuff there you know so this is real caribbean style right here right now real clean real good real proper yes i am seeing i'm gonna get another fresh water now i'll get a little bit of vinegar this time you know pour the vinegar in some water not too much you know and then i'm gonna squeeze a lime in there a whole lime so you know get them in there squeeze them up so i got some vinegar lime water this helps cut some of the um what do you want some rawness or fishiness yeah yes to get it so yes exactly yeah this is like it's like a sanitizer yeah that's more like it dip him in there i could feel it i could feel it on the on the fish already cleaner i could just feel the cleanest feel it nick if you feel you can feel the cleanness yeah yeah that's citric acid if you let it sit in there for a while i'll cook it and this is just a real light rinse and then uh mike's just prepping i'm getting them ready ah so right there that's it and then one more thing now is just to rinse it off with some fresh water all right and we're ready to season it up look who else showed up not billy bob there he is but colby's here with his daughter tegan say hi wait to everybody now one day i knew colby since he was that size he was the star of the show with the big lemon shark that ate the iguana and maybe tegan will be on an episode one day maybe on a fishing episode we'll catch a big fish then you can troll your friends all right perfect nice all right yeah one so see it right in the first water and look a rinse them off now and yeah take them out let's go let him drink what are you looking at billy bob not much yeah so guess what i'm gonna cut the throat off let's take them off separate because guess what i'm gonna tell you why in a minute so we get that off and i'm gonna get the other side of the throat off i'm gonna tell you why right now so i'm gonna take it off because all right so you see this now this this part now is a lot of me just see that yes it's a whole meal right here so why i cut it off separate now you see the head part itself yeah you want it to fry a little more crispy you want to get it more crispy and then i don't want to if i keep it together these part might fry it a little bit because you don't want to overcook this part of the meat because there's a lot of fish right here that's part two yeah man now the seasoning up right now yeah i'm on big up everyone in a bigger parliament come on one love you know it's true so this is just the season is just the everglades seasoning salt black pepper and some garlic powder that's it i just mix it up all in one you
