CALIFORNIA SPINY LOBSTER CATCH and COOK! Hoop Netting Catalina Island

[@goyamask9654]

Awesome to see the cross coast collabs and thanks for visiting and showing the bounties of the west (best - jk) coast to your viewers. Love the FL fishing scene; different but awesome in its own way. Check out spearfishing/diving next spring/summer when the WSB and yellows are running, the dungeness crab scene in norcal (and hopefully abalone return one day) as well as flyfishing etc in the Sierras next time you're out here

[@ThydaCookingTV]

Watching from Cambodia! Love video Brook

Amazing to go threw comments and see someone watching from Cambodia. I am Cambodian myself. Born in the US. But my parents both fled from Cambodia to come here ❤️❤️❤️

Hello.... From india

[@floydjustice5445]

Another great VLOG. It always makes me hungry when I watch, God Bless all of you.

[@roberttanner7486]

Very informative. I personally love knowing stuff. Knowledge is power, my opinion.

[@adamklingerman8806]

I've genuinely enjoyed your excursions to California. Adam and the boys really seem to know what they are doing, and are very informative and just kind people. I will be subscribing, perhaps you should invite the California boys to your fishing grounds sometime, keep them coming Brook,sorry I think I might have spelled your name wrong. Best regards to you Victor and all your families and friends.

Hey nice name! Thank you, we would love to visit Florida and have them show us their waters!

Yes awesome video! Content and all girl! Love how your honesty shines through! Most people would edit out a busted lobster trip but hey! It happens! Love it guys!

[@joefreylava9469]

Im from Philippines and really love watching your videos Brook.. Go to philippines and try to catch the biggest coconut crab in the world.

[@ccarsonsworld1744]

Them lobsters looks deliciousou!!!🤤 Thanks for another catch & cook Brook & who else watching while eating?💁‍♂️🖐

[@ivans6.2ss20]

Great video. Im from California and just did lobster fishing with my brother. He owns a 24' Boston Whaler & we did first lobster fishing last week and caught a little over 100 lobster 🦞 it was 4 of us, and sadly, in cali, we can only keep 7 per person. This was behind the island. Fishing 20 tp 30 feet. Keep up the good work.

[@outabeat]

It is so nice to see you guys fishing outside Two Harbors and Isthmus Cove. My kids literally grew up there on the boat. We may or may not have grabbed lobster in Fisherman's Cove and or under the dinghy dock to have them wind up on the grill. Y'all should venture up to the fishery north of Santa Barbara and just south of the Goleta pier, which is the best lobster fishery on the west coast.

[@saenole66]

Interesting fishing method. My friends in Miami used to go bully netting lobster on the Biscayne Bay flats at night. Love Brook and Viktor’s videos as both have warm sand engaging personalities. Brook sparkles.

[@brookcristoutdoors]

Thank you! I’ve gone bully netting before, that is a lot of fun!!

[@myrajohnson5663]

I wasn't going to post this but..yes I am that ornery...when y'all were getting in the boat Brook took a great shot of Vik's legs! Nicely done!! Loved this from start to finish.

[@itzamia]

The dad's answer is clearly based on which one had more meat🤣

[@fluentfishing]

Respect to the Floridians for grinding it out in cold, windy and tough conditions. Diving for them next time 😊

[@user-ln1up9xi4k]

Good on ya for putting in the effort, I'm sure its disappointing not to get any but they had a damn good run of great catches here, thanks for doing CA proud. It's a lot easier to come out here and get skunked than in Florida for sure. Watching them dive would be hilarious though. No tools, hand only, first time in our freezing murky water, at night, and you ever notice the east coast lobster are in super shallow holes with no exits?? Our bugs are way tougher to grab.

[@fluentfishing]

@@user-ln1up9xi4k Thanks! It would have been hilarious that is for sure. Our lobster can definitely be tricky.

[@Tunaslayer1]

Cali all day.... Just kidding.... I love your family fishing, and I miss your Grandmother crabbing. We love you!!!

[@RubyPlanet81]

Mate, when all this COVID crud is over, come to Australia. Our crayfish (lobsters) are so delicious! The meat is both sweet and savoury and a beautiful firm yet slightly soft texture. Pearl white meat too and the shells make superb lobster bisque 🤤😋☺️ Our freshwater Crays and yabbies are very sweet too

[@brookcristoutdoors]

My dream is to go to Australia!!

[@RubyPlanet81]

@@brookcristoutdoors You will love it here mate! We have tasty tropical fish like coral trout, blue bone etc, estuary fish and oysters, lobsters, mud crabs, blue swimmer crabs (which taste better than muddies in my opinion), and superb cold water fish like King George Whiting, southern Garfish and Snapper, plus delicious oysters and abalone. Such variety. Just have to be careful of sharks and saltwater crocodiles when spearfishing or harvesting lobsters in the tropics, and be wary of great white sharks when diving in the cold southern waters (if you go with an experienced underwater and surface fishing tour team they will have a shark repellent machine and they're usually a good mob of people who will look after you)

[@clevjam]

@@RubyPlanet81 I think you may have just squashed her dream..😁

[@RubyPlanet81]

@@clevjam lol Don't they have tiger sharks, Crocs, alligators and stingers in Florida? I reckon she'd be tough enough and going on a tour or charter with experienced personnel is fantastic and safe, as is just fishing from a boat or the shore

[@lakeracer8453]

I'm a California diver and I've caught and cooked my share of bugs. I find that taste can vary greatly from one specimen to the next. Sometimes you just get one that is exceptionally sweet and succulent. I'd love to try it Florida but alas I'm getting too old for it. Enjoyed the vid. TYVM

[@ameraboukhadra7618]

Too bad that you guys did not catch any lobsters in CA! However, it was awesome watching you cook the lobsters. The CA lobsters are redder than your lobsters but wow your cooking makes me feel famished. Wow, your dad likes the CA lobsters more! Great family dinner.

[@JayMeLen]

On the Florida lobster y'all talk about a tough skin under the shell. Do these lobsters from California have the same thing? Has your dad said it was more tender. Just curious.

[@fluentfishing]

Ours do! Depending on how recently they’ve molted, you can see the tough skin under the shell.

[@ThydaCookingTV]

Beautiful scenery

[@tommyadams1897]

I'm hungry now good job Brookie

[@Mahigeer1]

An informative video. However, if I may suggest the following. The name starfish has been changed to sea star. Since it is not a fish. Never a good idea to hold a lobster at the tail section. Using a glove on left hand, the lobster can calmly stay in the palm of the left hand. Then the gauge can be held with the right hand. See minute 20:00 in the video. The recreational anglers are not allowed the use of traps. What is used is here is called hoop net. Traps do not allow the lobsters to escape once in the trap. The lobsters can get out of hoop nets.

[@oneworld8056]

Love it. Enjoy.

[@jamescostello6529]

I've eaten a lot of Florida bugs and they are good especially if they're still kickin' when you cook 'em but I still like those big old claws on a Maine lobstah! Thanks for posting a skunk. That keeps it real.

Woow beautiful brook

[@bionicsjw]

Brook, I'm a huge fan and I say the next couple sentences in jest, without meaning to be condescending at all. I guess you forgot about you New England Lobster video. I know you didn't personally catch them but if were are counting hoop nets it's kind of similar. FYI, Even though I live 5 minuets from the confluence of where the Atlantic Ocean meets the both the Chesapeake Bay and the James River (Hampton, VA) I grew up in Colorado and Long Beach is where i first saw an ocean. I've also seen several west coast KZbin videos diving or hoop betting lobster recently with similar results.

[@brookcristoutdoors]

When I was editing the video, I realized I said that as if I never did catch any other species! So I agree it sounded like I forgot, but I didn’t forget about those Lobstas!

[@sugarsnap7883]

[@icecold7088]

How about some abalone. I thought they were plentiful on west coast.

[@Sethonious]

There are no abalone in Southern California where they visited. South of the Golden Gate Bridge folks were allowed to use scuba to get abs and now they’re basically extinct down there. We had a massive red tide that killed a significant number of abalone. I was on a camping trip during the worst of it and seriously like 3 feet thick of dead abalone washed ashore. It was so sad. Combine that with the starfish wasting disease that basically killed every starfish on the entire coast and not having enough starfish to prey on the urchins, the urchins exploded and now there is not enough kelp for abalone to forage and they’re not rebounding so well. So they closed the season until 2027. The abalone are coming back just super slowly.

[@icecold7088]

@@Sethonious I appreciate that information I didn't know that. I've always wanted to try abalone but haven't yet. Here in south Louisiana we love our oysters and a snail called the southern oyster drill we eat that also. One day I will have the chance to try abs

[@Sethonious]

@@icecold7088 happy to help. I love abalone and ab diving and am very hopeful that they can come back. We have lots of great ocean foods and I think abalone is the most delicious thing in the ocean. Support abalone and eat as much California uni as you can.
