00:30What's up y'all, this is Captain Tyler with another episode of Real Floridian Fishing.
00:39We haven't posted a full length video in a while, probably because one of my, or my camera
00:45guy Lucas became one of our better captains, so he is not filming much, he is doing a lot
00:50of fishing.
00:51So while we're looking for a new camera person, we're doing a lot of shorts, but anyways today's
00:57a special day.
00:58Lucas is out here just messing around, everyone else is running around hurricane prepping,
01:02getting their gas, getting all the food, stealing all the toilet paper, but it is a beautiful
01:07day in Pompano Beach, if you take a look at the ocean right now, it's got a flat calm
01:13ocean.
01:14On the other side of Florida, there is a monster lurking, coming, about to smash into Tampa
01:23and hopefully not make a turn and come at us, but yeah.
01:27I got all the boats ready to rock, everything is prepped, and we got a free day to get
01:31out there and fish.
01:32So we're going to head out, we're set up to troll, look for some mahi-mahi, you know we're
01:39not trying real hard, just kind of want to throw some mahi in the freezer, we've been
01:43catching some good mahis out there, and the clients have been taking it all home, so me
01:47and Lucas got no fish, but yeah, we're going to get on out there, see what we can do, we'll
01:51see you out in the Atlantic baby.
01:55Alright y'all, we're at 700 foot, we literally put the baits out for a minute, and we were
02:01like nah, let's just troll into the ledge, and what do you know, we're tight.
02:06On the short.
02:07That was a fast run dude.
02:09That was a fast run.
02:10A lot of tail beats.
02:12Skipjack tuna, he's guessing a skipjack tuna, I don't see anything jumping.
02:18I think you might be right.
02:21Was that on the one you were just putting out?
02:24Yeah, those are looking like some tuna tail beats.
02:27Yeah, I feel it too.
02:29I'm going to have to agree with you there buddy.
02:31Is it a little yellow?
02:33Maybe we'll troll that line for a second.
02:38Fishing in a hurricane.
02:42Storms all around.
02:44I think it's beautiful.
02:46I want to circle back to that spot.
02:53I don't know.
02:54Wahoo?
02:55Nah.
02:59Skipjack.
03:00Alright, we called it, we called it.
03:02Alright, hold them up, let me see them colors.
03:05Look at that.
03:06Those things can throw down bro.
03:08Yeah, they bite.
03:09Look at that, electric purple.
03:11Yeah, look at that blue one, that thing is wild.
03:13Sick.
03:14Alright.
03:15We didn't get skunked?
03:16Nope.
03:17Alright y'all.
03:19Fish number two.
03:28On the planer.
03:33A decent little Mahi.
03:36Just going to flip him.
03:39Not bad.
03:41Not a bad cow.
03:45There you go.
03:46Yeah, not a bad one.
03:48Let me hold it up for the camera here.
03:51Alright y'all.
03:53Nice little Mahi for dinner.
03:55That was the goal.
03:57Skipjack tuning the box.
03:59Really hard to see the weeds right now because it's so dark from all the clouds.
04:04But we did find a little weed line.
04:06And we got on some Mahi.
04:08So, throw him in the ice, try to find some more.
04:13Stay home they said.
04:16Who's laughing now?
04:19Not me.
04:24Oh, we out here baby.
04:26We out here.
04:28We out here catching some shit.
04:30We out here.
04:31We out here catching some shit.
04:33We got the Mahi tacos.
04:35Seek here.
04:38What do you have to say Lucas?
04:43Put him on the spot right there.
04:45Put him on the spot.
04:48Oh, yep.
04:52Another blind trolling Mahi here.
04:54Get him boy.
04:56Get him.
05:00We get rained on.
05:02We blind trolling.
05:04We storm, but we catch him.
05:08Let's see if Lucas can get him in by himself here.
05:24Shoot him.
05:26I have no idea.
05:28Oh, it's not a bad size.
05:30Yeah, I know.
05:34What is that?
05:35It would be a big Cuda.
05:36I mean a big Wahoo.
05:37I don't know what it is.
05:39It's looking Cuda-y.
05:40I think it's a Mahi.
05:42I don't know.
05:44It's real.
05:45I don't recognize it.
05:46It looks Cuda-y.
05:50It's a Lucas Wahoo.
05:52I mean a Cuban Wahoo.
05:54Dude, he fucking jumped out of the water.
05:58That's a fat boy.
05:59Bring him up and show him to us.
06:03Flip that fat boy.
06:05Watch your toes.
06:11That thing stinks, man.
06:14That thing stinks, dude.
06:17If you guys haven't caught a barracuda before,
06:19they smell.
06:22As soon as he came in, it stank.
06:25Show him to us.
06:33See that on his head?
06:35That is a parasite.
06:36These Cudas have these parasites on them.
06:38All right.
06:39Eat him on back now.
06:43See ya, buddy.
06:45All right.
06:46Three fishies.
06:47Three different species down here in the deep.
06:50Not bad.
06:52Not bad for a rainy day.
06:54Me and Lucas were just happy to come out here and drink some beer,
06:56to be honest.
06:58Because the hurricane's coming tomorrow.
07:01And...
07:05We all have our stuff prepped.
07:07The other boats are tied up.
07:09So it's good to go.
07:11So rather than sit on the couch all day,
07:14come out here, drink a beer, catch some fish.
07:16Nothing better.
07:17All right.
07:18We have a suspicious floating object here.
07:21Test Lucas' gaffing skills here.
07:24On the speed, on the speed.
07:28Oh, nice.
07:29Nice.
07:31Look at this.
07:32Right in the head.
07:33We caught some fish, and we saved a sea turtle.
07:38Balloons are bad, people.
07:43Yeah, look at that.
07:44All right.
07:45We came in here to 300.
07:47Lucas is tight on something big.
07:50What?
07:51I want to watch those lines.
07:52I think we're good.
07:53Dude, I had that drag so tight at first,
07:55I had to look up on him.
07:57It's a big-ass cuda in here.
07:59Cuda?
08:00It might have a wahoo.
08:01Oh, I see him, I see him, I see him.
08:02I think that's the top bit over there that we're seeing.
08:06Can you slow down a little bit?
08:08Nah, nah, nah.
08:09Just a little.
08:11Yeah, slow down a little bit.
08:13It's heavy, whatever it is.
08:14All right, Lucas is tight on a...
08:17Okay, yeah.
08:18Let him do his thing.
08:19That might be him.
08:22Yeah, yeah.
08:23Woo!
08:24You either have a monster cuda, an amberjack,
08:27or a fucking wahoo on right now.
08:30All right, y'all.
08:31We got a decent-sized fish on here.
08:34I might have to...
08:36I might have to put the phone down
08:38and jack this thing.
08:42You have to do it.
08:44All right.
08:46All right.
08:47The wahoo trickster here.
08:51Damn it.
08:52The one that makes you think it's a wahoo,
08:54but it ain't a wahoo.
08:56Fat bonito, look at that.
08:59Oh, right in the freaking slab.
09:01Why was he fighting so hard?
09:03Oh, big bonitas can throw down.
09:06God damn.
09:07Well, four species today.
09:09Dude, you got your ass kicked.
09:11That was fun.
09:12Lucas got his ass kicked by that bonita.
09:15Hold on.
09:16Oh, yeah.
09:17All right, throw him in the box.
09:19Woo!
09:22Woo-hoo!
09:23You know what's funny is...
09:28As captains,
09:30we'll be bitching at the clients the whole time,
09:32like, real, real, real,
09:33and they're like...
09:35And I always think they're just a bunch of sissies,
09:38but honestly...
09:39That shit was hard.
09:40He just got his ass kicked by the bonita
09:42and that skipjack.
09:43That little mahi kicked my ass, too.
09:46So...
09:48Respect to all you clients that we've been bitching at.
09:51Hold him up for the camera.
09:55We just ran out of strips,
09:56so this works out good.
09:59Oh, he ain't even that big.
10:01He's a monster.
10:07Woo!
10:08All right, bro.
10:10I think I know exactly what that is.
10:15All right, y'all.
10:16We are doubled up.
10:18Lucas is tight there.
10:20I'm tight here.
10:22Gonna need to put the phone down
10:24so we can land these fish.
10:26Yep.
10:27You are getting smoked.
10:32He's staying real deep.
10:37Uh-huh.
10:39All right.
10:46You want me to slow down a little bit?
10:47No.
10:54Big bonita.
10:55Yeah?
10:56God, that's a freaking stunner.
10:58God damn.
10:59You want me to flip him or gap him?
11:00I'm gonna flip him.
11:03Watch the rod.
11:04Watch the rod.
11:05God damn.
11:08Let me hold that up for the camera.
11:09That thing just kicked my ass.
11:13God damn.
11:15Look at that freaking toad.
11:18That's every bit of 22 pounds.
11:21Maybe 25 pounds.
11:23On the light tackle.
11:24Kicked my freaking ass.
11:26All right.
11:27Let's get our baits back in.
11:28These things save me about $50 a pop
11:29on bonita strips or carters.
11:37Look at the size of that freaking thing.
11:40Makes the skipjack look like a baby.
11:47So Lucas had this little baby lure up top this whole time
11:52and we are dragging a small bonita or something back there.
11:57Been dragging them this whole time.
12:00Hard to see.
12:01Yeah.
12:02See that?
12:07Oh, yeah.
12:13Oh, yeah.
12:18Oh, dude.
12:19That's a monster, man.
12:21Wow.
12:22All right.
12:23Toss him.
12:24Toss him.
12:29All right.
12:33We got some frigates circling.
12:36That's a good sign.
12:38Right above us here.
12:43Focus camera.
12:47All right.
12:49We are doubled up.
12:51I called it.
12:53I called it.
12:54I said we're about to get tight.
13:05Oh, what the?
13:12I got that dragon on lock right now.
13:18There you go.
13:20Another one.
13:22Bonita alert.
13:25Two more bonitas.
13:28Turned into a bait mission, y'all.
13:30I swear.
13:31We'll take them.
13:33All right.
13:34I'm going to call it.
13:37Ten seconds.
13:39Ten.
13:41Nine.
13:42Eight.
13:44Seven.
13:45Six.
13:47Five.
13:49Four.
13:51Three.
13:53Two.
13:56Fish on.
13:57Oh, shit.
13:58Damn it.
13:59It was literally on one.
14:01Ah!
14:03Come on back.
14:08Damn.
14:11Luka's been slacking, dude.
14:12He's got a fish on over here.
14:14I'm here cutting strips, man.
14:16Get him, boy.
14:17Get him.
14:19Reel.
14:20Reel.
14:21What are you doing?
14:22Reel.
14:23Don't stop.
14:24Don't stop.
14:25Don't stop.
14:27Oh, he popped off.
14:28No, he didn't.
14:29No, he's on.
14:32Dude, you've been slacking.
14:36That's what I'm talking about.
14:37All right.
14:38Ten.
14:39Nine.
14:41Eight.
14:43Yeah, put it out, boy.
14:44Seven.
14:46Six.
14:48Five.
14:50Four.
14:52Three.
14:54Two.
14:56Two and a half.
14:57Two and a quarter.
15:00Two.
15:01One.
15:03Ten and a half.
15:06One.
15:07Shit.
15:09All right.
15:11It's been about 20 minutes since we had a bite.
15:15Luka's lost the last two fish, but he is tight right now.
15:21What was that?
15:22I don't know, man.
15:24I keep hearing noises.
15:25I keep hearing noises.
15:28This is probably going to be our last fish, unless it's a wahoo.
15:32Because we are out of beer, and I am going to a hurricane party.
15:39Because we've got a hurricane coming, so.
15:42You didn't know how Floridians roll when a huge hurricane's heading to smack you.
15:47I hope you're safe.
15:48You get drunk, you fish, you enjoy your life, because you might get wiped off the face of the planet the next day.
15:56Might as well have a good time.
15:58It's not as big anymore.
16:00Get this friggin' minnow in, boy.
16:02You got smaller.
16:05Get that friggin' little blackfin in.
16:06I need that for this taco party.
16:12Don't put too much slack.
16:13You're going to lose them.
16:20That's a little guy.
16:23Oh.
16:25It came out.
16:29Yo.
16:31I think he's still on there.
16:33Yeah, that's amazing.
16:35Oh, you got something really small on there, dude.
16:42What the fuck?
16:43That is a little baby cooter.
16:46I think there was a bigger one on there, and he shrunk.
16:49Dude, Lucas was getting his ass kicked.
16:51Look at that.
16:52Look at that.
16:54Looks like, yep.
16:57Big cooter or wahoo.
16:58We had a wahoo on.
17:00Lucas lost him.
17:03Alright, y'all, so we're back at the dock, and this is our catch of the day.
17:08Lucas lost like five fish, but we lost a wahoo.
17:11We slabbed out a bonita, but yeah.
17:15Skipjack tuna, bonita, pretty similar.
17:19Both good for dog food.
17:21Not as good to eat, but we're going to strip these things out.
17:25Each one of these bonitas saves me about, on average, like 40 bucks in bait,
17:31because these strips cost a ton at the bait store.
17:34So, yeah, we went on a little bait mission, got a nice mahi for dinner.
17:38Not a bad little couple hours before the hurricane.
17:41As you can see, it's raining, but yeah, that's about it, guys.
17:44We're going to go cook that mahi up for tacos for dinner and slab out these bonitas.
17:48But make sure to like, share, subscribe, and we'll catch you on the next video.
17:52Thanks for watching.
17:54Alright, y'all, we got our little mahi here.
17:58Take your knife, run it down.
18:02Damn, that's a dull-ass knife.
18:04Is this like a bait knife?
18:06Yeah.
18:07Jesus.
18:09Get you a sharp knife.
18:11That's a lot of sharp knives.
18:13Is that one sharper?
18:14Yeah.
18:19It's a little better.
18:20It's a little better, yeah.
18:22Oh, I forgot to make some ribbons.
18:26Not my best work.
18:29I am a little tipsy.
18:34Okay.
18:38I like to go over the guts.
18:41You might miss a tiny bit of meat, but you don't have guts all over the place.
18:46There's one slab for tacos.
18:48Let's do it again.
18:50We should also do a quick video of how to make the bonita strips.
18:55Nice fat little cow right here.
18:57Yeah, good amount of meat on her.
18:59She's thick.
19:04That's a baby cow.
19:08That's better.
19:12Just need a little practice.
19:16There we go.
19:25Alright, two slabs.
19:27And, if you didn't know, this right here is roe.
19:30This was a mamamahi.
19:32Those are the eggs.
19:34Catfish love them.
19:36Nope.
19:38Here's our slabs, y'all.
19:40We're going to turn these into some tacos.
