[Music] good morning we're doing a long range trip today head back to the Gulf of Mexico see if we can catch a little bit of luck we get a kobia you never know could be Glide grouper king mackerel sharks permit and uh 6:45 sun's coming up so time to get going [Music] we made it back here using some artificials and using some bait got a nice little mustach circle there in a live pin fish and going see if someone eat something happy to announce we're back on the mustad team and uh you guys want to get any mustad hooks there go to the website mustad fishing.com and type in code stands 20 you can save 20% so thanks for watching the videos and following along hope we'll catch some on these fish on these pin fish [Music] today the weather man lied it is not calm Garrett just caught a jack we just ran another 30 miles supposed to be one Footers seven or eight knots of wind it's 15 18 knots of wi and it's like two to four with an occasional bigger swell but we're trying throwing some our officials oh fish on Blue Runner on hoping to catch kobia KOB is the main target out here is rougher than it was supposed to be yeah blue runner in the belly we're just kind of moving around drifting covering some ground and jigging away we got a little bit of bait too though for later oh Val Jack blue Runners and Cal so far the old Cal Jack we're going to save him for bait might need to use him later this is a big blue Runner holy moly that is a big blue Runner there's going to be happy that stone crap bait right there that is a trophy size Blue Runner oh amberjack mixed bag out here we're let him go and hope they'll turn into a big old amberjack one day here has finally hooked a bigger fish might be he just laying there now hopefully it's co everyone be a fish of the day can make the whole trip worth it if the ride home is going to be one to remember I promise you that it is windy and rough the other man lied to us this happened before though hope we see what he's got here it's AIA it's AIA the right tip the wrong size it's a good sign things are looking up stay true to his word he found a scoia Here Comes The White Caps oh boy oh yeah this is a good test you know a lot of people would ask about this boat what if to get out there in some snotty weather we're going to see how it is getting home today AR little Co the next I think it's a blue Runner new prototype through a new sample Nick stick oh we the Blue Runner all right big oh he just got a big blue Runner this might be this could be the one we want he threw another jig out there casting it and boom he got piled on I got the little Rod out hoping to get another bite oh yeah big head shakes the hook pull on the fish gar spre starting was a nice Cobia but it's a good sign of starting to get a more action so we see what happens not giving up big hook for big fish see what happens we've got a big old 16 o Circle up here we are going to hook on this live caral Jack for bait see if we get something big to eat them we're keeping in the rod holder we don't want to get in here he guys hurt any but got a bite we're getting a nibble we got a nibble oh yeah oh yeah you're tight and to the Giants out here I think it's a big Goliath this is one of our heavy duty stand rods 701 130 braid let's see what we got we got color oh yeah Glide grouper there you go not a big one at all just a medium one probably 60 lb or so but a cool fish and dropped it down there and had inant bite that live Jack but something big to pull on if you never call one they are fun to catch and they're pretty neat creatures they made a good comeback the last 20 years and we even did a season last year where you could Harvest one we actually were able to keep one last year with a special tag we got it so if you can see his mouth there he was eating a lot there's a lot of leader lineing there and a bunch of hooks but these fish are so resilient and strong like that down he goes one Goliad down that is our goliath grouper rig we're going to drop him down there and hoping that Kobe is uh get a little more active that could be the one we want there that could be a nice KOB right there he's got on we got the Glide group R down Hopey he's got a Kobe on that one little bit of luck and me and Andrew got the other jigs going coming up a little bit oh yeah oh yeah we tight back here now there could be a Kobe up there and a glid right here oh yeah wow he's angry going to be a big Goliath and a big k at the same time double header here we go here we go oh it's a shark it's a shark maybe it's going to cut this close to the shark you guys and a big old bull shark guys there are so many sharks out here you would never want to go swimming out here I know that's a Goliath but it's just a bull shark right here let's see whoa he's angry byebye Sharky so we think this is a nice kobia on here that Garrett has on we're trying to chase him down so the Sharks don't eat him cuz sometimes you're fighting these fish too hard and long and the Sharks lead them so hopefully he comes up here and gives us a gap shot hopefully it's the right type I think it is he says it is nice yeah baby that's what we came for a little pull there KOB when you G from they're notorious for twisting around and pulling but in thebody came that's a really nice one k is have these bad spines in our back here so you ever catch one be very careful of them I bet G has been spiked before Kobe way back here in the Gulf big one for Garrett on The Jig awesome fish and uh worth the ride it's going to be a bumpy ride home but we got it done and we still got time we hope we get one more we're sending down the live Blue Runner on the mustad 160 circle hook we're going down there for a big GL grouper shark whatever eats it it doesn't feel very big though got something on the Nick stick you guys could be a kobia it could be a jack it's a kobia it's our new prototype trying to sample them out cuz we were out of stock for 6 months kobia couple of them with them y right off times when he hook these up there he comes no he missed it so pretty cool there just a juvenile we're going to let him go but uh on the Nick stick as we like to say but pretty cool artificial oh there's a big bite on here too now oh yeah that might be a bull shark there wild wild west out here you guys sharks Kia Jacks little bit everything kobas are wild in the boat so he's just trying to get a good hold of them and get the hook out of him and we're going to let him go there you go though pretty fun fight we'll take it here you go Kobe on the artificial not a keeper but a lot of fun bye-bye so we just let go that juvenile Kobe and the shark I think it was a shark I think it was go on that big 70 pen but uh it broke up there broke the 130 lb braid we had heavy dra on it probably know 40 50 lbs of drag on it that Mark but we're getting rigged up and Kobe are the main target we' love to get one more to make it worth I'm still half we caught it but make it worth a run you know got this little lure ready again and drop the Nick stick back down King in lobia get the big rod down too on the Nick stick on The Jig I've never used the jigs with that head right there nuts lost them I can't catch them all nothing on that had another bite there we go three bites in a row whenever it's the same fish another Kobe I bet just to pull the hook on the first one seemed like a decent one had a little cheap bite then this here just at it again yeah looks like the right time oh pulled off there's a big bull shark just R to the boat we want our kobia hopefully to get away from the sharks so we're going to be patient with him hope he stays on there but see he scoped up the top homestead's finest hooked up in the back Tobe oh yeah nice Jack that be a good bait grab Vader Glide VAP just trying to be patient with him I G A finesse so this Rod here you know it's our new prototype like we were saying for the Nick stick trying to find another source to get them made faster for you guys cuz I know it's been a long uh 6 months for both of us but uh o he's not happy Slammer 3500 15 lb braid 40 lb liter and the old artificial see I might try to chase him down hopefully get him up here for lucky and maybe get a gap and Assuming he's a keeper he's got to be a keeper he's gone broke broke off ah w w w b on Andrew's got something big on I don't know if it's Kobe though might be a little bigger than we thought that might be shark I suffered heartbreak on the last fish thought we were going to catch him and the braid wind up breaking light braid and that's uh the one challenge that we fac you know fishing light brain light tackle for fun but pulling on a little bit and gave way just pulling on a little too hard we got Jack on here Garrett just got a jack two big bull sharks chasing right up for the boat they didn't want to mess with yours bigger Cal Jack they use him for gath bait or crab trap bait but done fishing out here with the jigs jig fishing baby artificials big bait for big fish down it goes manes are out here big baap big fish bu shark through the 400 lb liter back off that drag a little other way yeah you see those big head scks like that kobia that's yeah Andrew is tight on the Nick stick of the kobia Kia on the crab he came up chasing that uh Jack yet on and I wound up my bait dropped it to him I don't know if he's a keeper or not oh shark on him full shark on him immediately there's so many sharks out here kind of a double-edged sword you try to trick the Sharks nothing with them right another KIA KIA is R Us good bye buddy up real one there what real one there that might be our keeper if we get him Andrew just hooked off we're getting ready to resetting he got on a Cobia screaming line keep that bit of pressure on right there he comes up I'm going to race on him a good one that's a big one fingers crossed we want one more having a little bad luck today broke a couple off on a light rod and uh pull a couple hooks I think sharks might ate that one yeah I broke the lader sharks probably got him they just got a copia next to us I think I got good one yeah I see him big one all right watch out boat flipper big ones get away we catch the small ones kobia though still fun we're pack up to go home we're put away and G's like I ain't leaving throws out one more jig jigs it boom coob eats it comes out the top shark chasing them on the surface but we're going home no matter if we catch this fish or not this will be a rough r h right there the hook pull that's the sign it's time to go [Music] we caught a few fish y we got kobia some Jacks let go Glide grouper and some sharks did you go fishing yeah what'd you catch they were over rare over here okay you going tomorrow fishing again or not we're leaving tomorrow you are okay we'll enjoy your night here yeah we got one nice big Kobe let some go GL grouper sharks and a bunch of jacks what's your name John John I'm Nick good to meet you i' never been on YouTube you never been on YouTube Just wave to the camera say hey you have a cameo John's on YouTube for the first time it was a sporty ride home luckily we had an angle to it um it was not not calm you know was three to four Footers two to four I would say steady two to four Footers long ride home we went 151 miles total today and burned 94 gallons of gas we got 1.6 m per gallon we burned a little more in the right home cuz that last 30 miles we went up to about 50 mph Cruise so burn a little bit but want to get in there got a nice big Kobe for dinner so we're happy about him hopefully he's still in here nice and cold oh he's in there lost a few others but we're going to go we'll get him cleaned up and he's going to be a good dinner there we got some crab bait and that was an adventure back there today so Gulf of Mexico 150 m round trip weather man lied to us it's rainy and overcast back here but he I'd rather go fishing in that any day so we'll see back at the cleaning table good morning we did not clean the fish yesterday because it was raining and everybody wanted to go home so we kept some ice down in the fish box and now it's time to go clean the Cobia and the weather been lied yesterday was not sunny and not calm today is calmer than yesterday and it's bright and sunny and blue skies but sometimes it happens on weather forecast and weather predictions you know even we have Charters book like we try to move people the better day and today wind up being the better day but we still had fun yesterday we got a nice Kobe to clean up here for dinner and uh you know had plenty of action so let's get him out let's go f him up then we're going to see how we're going to cook him tonight for dinner come here buddy so it's time to clean this bed boy we sprayed all the Slime up of them they're pretty slimy fish and a lot of times when fish are the cooler overnight they even get more slime on them but these are those dorsal spikes we're talking about these are kind of rounded off on the top here you can see this last one that's up there but usually there's probably seven or eight of them here and those spines where his are kind of broken already when they got those things up there if you ever hit your hand on there or foot you know if you catch the Lely one it'll really hurt so be careful with them but as usual start up here Kobe's kind of like a round fish so they're a little tricky to clean they don't like lay perfectly flat on the table after that I'm going work on his back and just follow right along his backbone and nice sharp knife as always and just right along his spine there now as we want to work on this fillet and try to get you know lift it off of his body we cut to his spine I want to like lift it off his spine so we just got to cut over the spine just a little bit there to get the angle we'll have to break those pin bones that connect from his rib cage in there you can hear those ribs Kobes have big ribs right over the backbone and get the knife out here on the bottom I we go for a cut up here and separate this from the belly wall there's a nice kobia filet and KOB is a little bit firmer meat very good eating and it has been probably almost 3 years since I've had kobia I know we did a golf video when Co hit so that was we went back there now April 2020 so oh is that almost four years huh wow that's probably the last time had Kobe so it's been a while put this away here and we'll save these scraps for a stone crab bait they're going to go in the traps and we kept some of those Jacks too for crab bait and now this you could try to skin the whole thing on one shot I'm just going to do sections uh make it a little bit easier so just like that cut down to the skin roll the knife just like this Kobe does have kind of a thicker blood line on the skin but then we'll remove that Center bone there and the bloodline just like this cuz we don't want no bones in our fish and our filets that is a chunk of Cobia I'm going to skin the rest of this here and just do it piece by piece and we're going to have our good meal I don't know how we're going to cook it up not sure but I know it's going to be tasty we'll see you guys back in the kitchen that's the coconut let me see hold on hold on ah so that's it that's the coconut from the keys I'm going to use make the Jamaica rice and PE
