Trying to Catch Dinner When They Showed Up!

I'm 61 and remember my Cub Scout days fondly. Learning real life skills. It's something every kid should do.

[@reefs_and_stuff]

nice comment but you’re not 61.

[@SuEnRoD]

@@reefs_and_stuff I was when I wrote this. Now I'm 62.

[@SuEnRoD]

@@reefs_and_stuff What do you mean by cap? Do you think my cap is wrong for the 80's? The picture was taken ~1983 shortly after I arrived at McConnell AFB in Wichita, KS and it's the uniform I was issued.

As an Eagle Scout, I appreciate you helping these kids!

[@mstrdiver]

Same here from the Saint Louis Area Council - along with Oder of the Arrow - Brotherhood Honor. I sure miss those days too.

[@josephmarcovecchio4325]

Fellow Eagle Scouts unite!! Same here from troop 140 nj

[@chrismack5908]

It reminds me of horse camping with Mr. Banks. He had a large hunk of steel with handles we'd put over the fire. OMG! I'd cook bacon, scrapple, eggs, hamburgers, steak, veges, you name it. Rest easy, Mr. Banks, those were great days!

[@signoresantinoburnett1169]

Banks...Phillip Banks.

[@davidstolarski741]

Thanks for taking us fishing today! Great video.

[@RedMartin66]

Very nice! Much appreciated that you give back to the kids!

[@daniellagassee152]

great video. That is neat that you spent some time with the cub scouts. That food on the blackstone looked really good.

[@Meditation409]

Brants real mission today was to make us all hungry beyond belief!!! And it worked!! 😂😂😂😂🔥🔥

[@bruced625]

Great video Brant! Those scouts really enjoyed you taking time with them!

[@RatedRj_TV]

Love this video Brant! As a Father myself I love the inclusion of the scouts, teaching our young men and boys to enjoy the outdoors and teaching them real skills instead of video games and social media! Keep it up!!! 👍🏻👍🏻🙏❤️

[@Poncho166]

You said not playing video games then why do I see a bunch of videos of you and your son playing video games on your channel?😂

[@RatedRj_TV]

@@Poncho166 touché sir lol we do play video games but it is very monitored it isn’t just a free for all we have set times for that. But I do try to keep my kids outside as much as I possibly can!! 😊👍🏻🤣

[@brianjeffrey1790]

Fantastic video Brant nothing like walking down to the beach right into a mackerel Blitz couldn't ask for a better day👍 I love cooking on my Blackstone too they're awesome grills along with my smoker grill it gives you the best of both worlds👍

[@charlievanlandingham567]

About 4 years ago, we wound up in a school of bonnet heads. Great fun on ultra lights with a piece of shrimp. Try putting some Tony's creole or black pepper on your bacon.

[@MrQuinnd]

Don’t stop, we need you to be there for us.

[@seanlincicome7328]

Saturday was good out on the bay. Weather was nice and fish were chewing.

[@markbaehne9389]

I’m 65 years,I remember all my Boy Scout days ,Back packing fishing camping,great days , good luck guys .good to see you supporting them .

[@matthewbenzor4807]

He's the great American fisherman watching you on KZbin and Facebook can't get enough

[@yeoldesalt]

Wanted to get out there Sunday morning but let my wife talk me out of it. Watching this video made me regret that decision…. Heard the bite was great all weekend!

[@brentbryson215]

Good job, Brant. I’m a Scoutmaster in Arizona. We don’t have much water here, but we still get out and catch a few. Seeing a kid with a big grin from catching a fish is priceless.

[@Allen-bt9hr]

My son will Eagle this Saturday...thanks to you and all the people who volunteer their time to teach the the boys. It makes a difference.

[@mstrdiver]

Outstanding - thats a very tough accomplishment.

[@Honey-Sanchez]

Congrats ! Eagle Scouts are a rarity these days.

[@madhatter2465]

Watching your channel never gets old!

[@mikecampingforfun5226]

I was in Pensacola in January I went to Joe Patti's. I got me some pompano. I never had it before and it was awesome. Best tasting fish. Now I way it's so expensive.

[@edt1cv2]

As an eagle scout who went through both cub scouts and boy scouts fishing was always my favorite part about camping trips. Got both my fishing and fly fishing merit badges. Been almost 12 years since I finished my time with scouting.

[@gabrielsilva-ff5vv]

i put my shirt on backwards this morning this video really made my day. Thanks Brant.

[@smoop3256]

I was the guy set up just past yall at pickens. Really was a tough bite that day, but getting to see yall made it worth it. Great meeting you Brant!

[@Meditation409]

I'm always appreciating your content! Plus you are awesome and so dang down to earth Brant! 🤙❤️

[@dirtybird437]

i miss Pensacola so badly. Been there 3 times, and the last time was 10 years ago. 'Cola is one of my Favorite vacation places.

[@mikeobaugh7933]

Great video, Brant! Go Noles!

[@brianallen6341]

Really appreciated seeing you take the time to teach and give those Scouts a good memory. We all need mentorship and enjoy this content.

[@l.i.archer5379]

I love bacon grease!!! I save it every time I cook a pound or two of bacon. Bacon grease is the only way I season my carbon steel wok!

[@Thesteveb333]

Great video as always. Bonnet head shark is really good. Try it sometime.

[@cselphenator]

Let the bacon heat up just a little and then hit it with the course ground black pepper

[@Casitascrawlers]

That is so cool to see young people excited about fishing is awesome.

[@dustinshay89]

nice! love me some spanish this time a year. the salt on the bacon though had my blood pressure throbbing 🤣

[@henrycastro423]

Enjoyed watching your video. I just started surf fishing w/ a buddy of mine. Both are kids were Eagle Scouts. We were both Leaders w/ Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts. Funny memories. Keep fishing. Henry from.Corpus Christi, Tx

[@raysjep7765]

you can't beat peppered bacon!! Good job w/ the cub scouts, you made their day and they will remember for years to come. A+

[@wisgisipper6890]

Never ever seasoned any bacon, interesting that you did.... Although my grandmother had a jar on the stove and all bacon dripping went into the jar and then she used it cook with.

[@razinoff]

I sheet pan my bacon with brown sugar and pepper for the greatest flavor !

[@endlessmountainoutdoors]

When I was with the Boy Scouts we stayed on the beach in Maryland and an older couple let us use their rods. I caught two little sharks that we cleaned and ate. Great weekend about 30 years ago.

[@mrh3578]

I appreciate that you take us back and show us how to prepare the fish. I did not know that Spanish mackerel were good eating.

[@georgegillespie431]

Just happens to be lunchtime as I watch this. Great looking eats big guy!

[@keithwest6859]

Heard about putting corn meal on your bacon! Haven’t tried it yet. Open to possibilities!

[@caseychipley1671]

I think I seen Ricky he's always lurking wherever brant seems to be 😂😂😂😂❤😂

[@nancycurtis488]

Wow…..since I found your fishing channel, I am not getting to read my stack of books. I have relatives in Cantonment but have not been there from east Texas in so many years. My mom and daddy loved to go visiting and go surf fishing. Need to go back. Love your channel…now I just need some of the fish you catch.

[@wtaleteller9248]

Those men that do cub scouts with honest intentions, are great men.

[@Jabronibologna]

As a scout leader of my kiddo (and AOL, about crossover) i appreciate ppl like you. Thank you

[@GregorsOutdoors]

Life is good in your neighborhood! The smells must be awesome!

[@lisastewart4926]

OMGosh! Gimme a bite of all of that! Looks SO delicious!!!

[@zacharyfultz3016]

It’s good to see these kids in the scouts. It’s a great group to be in and I wouldnt trade my time in the BSA for anything

[@ch0cchip704]

Great video good on you helping the scouts, that's great fishing and a very nice breakfast.

[@garystevens1044]

Man im 51 was in cub scouts and Boy Scouts troop106 Salem Oregon in fact a u of Oregon professor happened to be in my troop back then . It’s amazing everything you learn and just when it pays off using it.

[@22jeepmojave75]

People like you keep the world balanced. Thank you!

[@tenaciousdean]

Being from the west coast I did a travel assignment to Montgomery Alabama and would go to the Destin fish market by my hospital and get pompano fish. Super good eating. Loved it. Need to go back

[@ematuzsan]

Great job with the Scouts! When I was a leader, thanks to social media, I was able to raise $2k-$3k worth of fishing gear in two weeks. Definitely, I have to spice up the 🥓 from fresh ground pepper to Cajun seasoning. You can't go wrong!

[@s9keabler]

Vid idea go to the pier and film others fishing and the difference on what you use compared to others. Many different ways to catch pier fish. Yours may be the easiest for beginners though.

[@00Styx00-xn8hc]

I just fell on to your video for the first time and man the cub scout thing did it for me! I was that little kid 30 years ago. I'm still fishing to this day! Keep up the good work bud!

[@stevescuba1978]

I used to stuff mountain trout with garlic cloves and a sprig of thyme, then wrap with bacon and cook over a campfire. Bacon and fish is heaven on earth

[@dalevandenbussche5004]

Years ago a friend of mine and I was on his boat we were fishing by the bridges that go from the main land to sanibel island we got into a school of Spanish feeding I never had so much fun fishing in my life !!

[@dalevandenbussche5004]

And some darn good eating!!’

[@williamsporing1500]

I did Cubs and boy scouts. Learned so much and had a blast.

[@JEM133]

Grills,and breakfast just go together. Tight lines,brother!

[@domnick7886]

That breakfast looks awesome. Sometimes you're good sometimes you're lucky. Walked right into that school of mackerel.

[@Meditation409]

Im a total bacon geek! I can eat a full pound easily! So dang good!! ❤😃

[@aaronedlund4008]

Dude, I was just in Treasure Island Florida and I was fishing at John's Pass and I hammered Jack's just using a 1/4oz split shot and live shrimp. I also caught trout doing the same thing. The locals didn't like that some dude from MN was hammering fish

[@GusGusGames]

I love your channel

[@EthanDurfee]

Love me some bonnethead shark, one of the best eating sharks in my opinion. We have an over abundance of them down here in south Florida

[@jespken2]

Bacon cooked on your smoker then add it to your meal👍

[@publicclammer]

Never would have thought if that combination! Looks yummy!

[@02nightowl]

this is gonna be a long story but seeing scouts show up reminded me of it-- i grew up in the back woods where i would spend 10 of the 24 hours a day sitting on a lake or creek bank fishing, the only fishing i knew was calm water fishing but i always watched fishing tournament channels on tv of ocean fishing or great lakes fishing and it looked so wild to me, 5 years ago i visited japan to meet up with a friend i had made online through games, we went fishing at a breakwater in okinawa and it made me feel like i was a kid learning to fish for the first time, the most colorful fish i had ever caught b4 this was a rainbow trout yet the very first fish i caught in okinawa was a rainbow runner, the difference between inland fishing and ocean fishing is like night and day (yea ik its kinda obvious but its still wild)

[@nitemareman1]

Best sushi I ever had was on the Ft Pickens pier eating Spaniards fresh out of the water. So good!

[@robroy4359]

Hi from Sweden my wife and i always season our bacon with black pepper and a few brown sugar corn on each strip

[@drrichardpaul]

Asking about seasoning the bacon? I put all my seasonings on the grill to get the seasonings soaking in the grease. Also, bacon grease is wonderful, but they make a product that seals the grill when you’re storing it. The bacon on a griddle is always good though.

[@richardallgood815]

Awesome Job with the kids!!!

[@TalMetts-vp6bz]

I cannot believe you let that bonnet shark go

[@hawkeyefishguy]

First time viewer. Freshwater fisherman and probably won’t watch your channel again BUT liked your video. Great job with those kids! Well done sir.

[@AnglerUpTv]

Appreciate it. I do quite a bit of freshwater on the channel 🤙

[@chuckhoward3626]

My Aunt used to come in from Salem Oregon with pepper cured bacon that was to die for. I have never seen it anywhere else in the US.

[@e.t.calledme]

Ahhhh, scouts....that ole grey mare ain't what she use'ta be. 😞

[@marvindiaz2219]

I went to Perdido Key this weekend and I got the same shark in the beach. In the back of the Hilton. Everybody was asking.

[@mimblewimble2.070]

Hehe. Love this video. Jamie is my best friend, and he was really excited about all this! Also, sharkeh 🦈

[@TalMetts-vp6bz]

Bonnie shark is one of the best eating sharks out there

[@timwilliams2099]

Every time with pepper

[@notmissingout9369]

You should come to the UK for some winter cod fishing the north sea can make or break you when there’s a north east wind blowing best time for fishing

[@earlalford7694]

Yes I season bacon with sweet and hot spices very good

[@HaroldL.SkipYost-xq1cc]

Seasoning bacon??? That's a great idea and one I have never thought of doing. Thanks for the idea.

[@Thermocouple2short]

Man how I miss those days, using those smelly schrimps and blood worms. Now I feel like im right there. This is how memories are made. Thanks for the videos.

[@silenthero8468]

Roll the Thick cut bacon in brown sugar and seasonings of choice then put on smoker! Candy bacon, great on smash burgers off the flattop.

[@Bamapride1000]

Brant you need to eat the bonnethead sharks. Good as pompano IMO

[@williambenner701]

I heard they are good, but never tried one.

[@HaydenOakes]

Yak pak at Pickens I can’t wait to see one of yall out there🤘🏼

[@danielbohannon302]

Got to wrap that fish in the bacon and cook it that is delicious I live over here in Jacksonville Florida Duval county we've been fishing at the huguenots at the jetties they call it they catch in Spanish mackerels big bull whitey 16 to 20 inches Beach bum will have a fit if he was out here

[@Bruce-zr6oy]

They best way to season a black stone is to use lard as its cooling down and place cheese cloth over it and it will never rust

[@365daysofpractice]

You should run for office, Brant. You’re pretty much the mayor already.

[@jurimancingmakan]

nice fishing trip you have ....

[@FoulOwl2112]

That was actually a pretty big Bonnethead.

[@JeremyM-mw6ho]

That looked so delicious bro. And yes I also so season my bacon as I cook it. This video was amazing and awesome dude 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@scottmcgraw938]

Come to North East Florida and catch all the bonnet heads you could ever dream of

[@marcipearson8520]

Love the underwater videos!!!

[@tomnorman2668]

Making me hungry!!! Great video!!!

[@robertmartin7964]

Awesome, wholesome content Brant. 👏

[@chadbussey8305]

Hi guys I'm watching right now. I'm 61 and really enjoy watching you fish. I am curious about your fishing APPAREL. I'm guessing this is not a frequent question you get. I'm watching you fishing on these beautiful beaches in this beautiful weather and you are covered from head to knee. I notice other people are similarly covered. I know for a fact when I was your age I would be wearing shorts and probably nothing else. So what's that all about and isn't it uncomfortably hot?

[@stevevictor1586]

Love this guy, brant is the man

[@takedeadaim8671]

I make seasoned bacon when the butcher shop near me has thick sliced, hash browns and eggs. You can’t beat breakfast when you get home after a busy 24hr shift.

[@jimtillery9741]

I do thick cut bacon with a little brown sugar and cayenne pepper. Amazing

[@kenblanton9726]

Brant. You are so cool. You did a great job with this video. I love Ft Meyers area.
