Fishing the Gulf Pier When Things Got Wild!

[@AnglerUpTv]

Here is the recipe Poke Bowl Inspired by Bryan Landry FOR THE SPICY AIOLI: 1/3 cup mayo 1/3 cup sour cream 1-2 tsp Sriracha Salt and pepper to taste FOR THE SESAME VINAIGRETTE: 2 T. soy sauce 2 T. rice vinegar 2 T. olive oil ½ tsp. toasted sesame oil 1 T. honey 1 T. freshly squeezed lime juice FOR THE BOWLS: half of a medium English cucumber, cut into ¼ slices 1/4 c. pickled ginger slices 1 medium avocado, sliced 12 oz. sushi grade salmon or tuna, cut into 1/2" cubes 1/2 c. frech fried onions 1 tsp. black and/or white sesame seeds lightly toasted 2 green onions, thinly sliced 2 c. cooked white sushi rice or brown rice ¼ Cleveland Kitchen pickled Asian vegetables INSTRUCTIONS For the spicy aioli: Whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream and Sriracha. Refrigerate in a covered container until ready to serve. For the sesame vinaigrette: Place soy sauce, rice vinegar, olive oil, sesame oil, honey, and lime juice in a container with a tight-fitting lid. I like to use a mason jar with these lids. With lid on, shake vigorously to combine. Place in refrigerator until ready to serve. Shake vigorously before using. To assemble the bowls: Divide and layer in the warm rice, followed by cucumber, pickled vegetables, pickled ginger, avocado, tuna, fried onion, sesame seeds, and green onion. Top with sesame vinaigrette and spicy aioli.

So what's the Rod -n- Reel you're hoisting/flippin' those fish up & over with? 7' - 9' , trying to get an idea of what's a good setup. Anyhoo, great fishing

For one who is limited to fish, I so enjoy your videos. Had to snort when you said you were exhausted. I envy that! Blessings to you and yours!

On the west coast, that style is "combat fishing"!

[@cathyalmon4498]

Same for The Point on Hatteras Island, NC. Some of the folks at The Point can be real jerks if a blitz pops up or the red drum are in close and feeding. I've seen people almost get into fights because someone next to them casted close to them or crossed their line. It can be crazy!​@chrismack5908

[@HaiguhChannel]

wow thats was amazing 🎣 catch and cook 👍 looks so delicious

[@jayhaagmans]

Hey mate, love your vids, I have worked on the tuna farms years ago here in South Australia, the best way to bleed a tuna is to poke your knife down through the flesh on the lateral line just behind the pectoral fins! They have their main artery flow through there, bleeds them out real quick and gets the most blood out of any methods! Makes even those Bonito ( we call the Mack Tuna ) the best very blood free in the flesh! Thanks for your efforts and hard work on all of your vids legend man! 🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@mouradchahine1960]

It was great, one day I’ll go to Navarre pier. Just not a big fan of lot of people there. I’ve been under the weather for a while, & working, usually I go fishing at 5:00 am on my days off, but haven’t been feeling well and working a lot. Weather have been bad too. Enjoy watching your videos, keep it up. Next time I’ll send you a Moroccan recipe for fish, being that I’m from Morocco, it’s My Mom’s recipe. Thanks again.

[@scottturner2561]

But good for you brother for doing a catch and cook on Bonita hardcore!

[@Larry-d1c]

Bonita are a fantastic bait. I've never considered eating one, can't get past the smell. I'm guessing the strong smell is why they make good bait.

[@tomtatum2662]

They're great on the grill!

[@frankspina6004]

Brandt, I grew up in Southern California and we would catch a lot of bonito on the piers. They actually are good to eat. You must cut out the red meat on the sides. It’s very fishy tasting. You’ll end up with some whiter meat strips. Fried up they are good! They are real fighters.

[@Fishing-b5k]

Just fished there yesterday for the first time had so much fun

[@billschafer9668]

Brant, watching you haul up those big bobos with just your rod was masterful. The bobos running around now are huge. Caught 3 yesterday. I’ve tried to eat them but just not my jam. I put them in the bluefish category - edible but certainly not desirable.

[@timothycook6190]

I love watching your videos. My sister-in-law lives on the beach somewhere in Pensacola and I am trying to get my wife to plan a visit so I can fish.

I used to catch them offshore and grill them - mostly for my cat though !

[@GusGusGames]

This is the exact type video I asked for in the last video I love the Gulf Pier videos. I am not sure if it's because I am jealous I cannot fish on a nice pier like this or if it's because people aren't sitting around with drum rods on the pier instead of fishing for Spanish.

[@gordonendicott5114]

I know guys out of Brownsville Texas that tow out 40 wood pallets hooked all together and anchor offshore to make false kelp beds to catch all kinds of fish

[@shawncandler1960]

Thanks for your videos. I will be in town last weeknof august. Hope i can have as much fun as you make it look. Lol! Mountain man hoping to get some salty and use one of Melodis recipes for the catch. Fingers crossed!!!!

I'm in Navarre. I eat those all the time.. I cook it like ahi tuna and it tastes the same.. i love it

[@chrisbroome5325]

I see you're overhand casting, thought they didn't allow that. Great stuff, fun to watch!

Looks delicious

[@xgcatx]

West Coast we call em Bonita. Never heard them called anything but that in my 50+ years. Used to catch em on the boats here and I'd bring them back to my Filipino neighbor. She'd filet them and then smoke them for me. Never bled them prior or removed the bloodline and they were fantastic. You should do a blind taste test with some people on some fish that were bled and some that were not and see if there really is a significant taste difference.

[@fredflintstone358]

In my experience, everything tastes better if cooked con fit (i.e. braised in duck fat.) IF you don't happen to have duck fat in your cupboard, try sous vide (i.e. vacuum sealed and cooked in a constant temperature water bath.) I've made Jack crevalles taste good with these two methods.

[@OJCampbellsFamily]

Great video always,from Jamaica an I ate them multiple times just bleed them out and you can do many different things with them,not bad to eat . about 70% for me

[@DJBWOYBLUE]

Bless..🇯🇲

[@DJBWOYBLUE]

Catch two of them yesterday but gave them away…nuh really like them…

[@iBon1wheel]

This is why they call it fishing and not catching. I spent probably 24 hours over 3 days last weekend on this exact pier and didn’t catch anything. Throwing the exact same lures too

[@travissurman4753]

I think it's cool you guy's are allowed to give away fish like that because here in Montana it's as good as poaching

[@thomasdaniel5308]

Bonito Tataki, when done right is some of the best sashimi/sushi in the ocean!

[@TheHemiphil81]

A cool video I haven't seen yet by anyone is a catch and cook of saltwater and freshwater on the exact same day and compare the taste of the fish you catch and cook. Just an idea.

[@FoulOwl2112]

I've never eaten fresh Bonito. But l have used the dried Bonito flakes to make Japanese Dashi broth. I wonder if it's the same fish? They may call some other kind of fish Bonito for all l know...

[@iBon1wheel]

These are Bonita (and they aren’t even that) not Bonito. Different fish

[@FoulOwl2112]

@@iBon1wheel No. They're Bonito. So STFU. I don't need input from a dumbass.

@angleruptv Brant, I grew up on the Okaloosa Island pier but that was a long time ago and I haven’t done much salt water fishing the past 12 years. Since then, braided line and fishing with jigs on the pier for king has become huge. Can you do an equipment recommendation video sometime highlighting all of the stuff you use? Thanks!
