Epic Swordfish Battle and Delicious Rosie Recipe with Nicole Spenc!

[@lbeliel4128]

Ole’ Matt is a fairly excitable fella! Love the bloopers and Dan’s pre-pubescent humor!

[@FloridaFishingCouple]

Fishing with Matt is an absolute trip! He is one of the best fishermen I know. Great guy!

[@jasonnorton9604]

That's some good living! Great video, cant wait for the next one!! Cheers🍻🎣

[@FloridaFishingCouple]

Thanks James! Next one should be out this weekend. Appreciate you subbing our channel!

[@ignaciopaine5850]

Great catch, I try it once but no luck definitely will try it again, swordfish was amazing shame you couldn’t land it ,next time great video good luck

[@FloridaFishingCouple]

One of the hardest and toughest fish to catch in the ocean for sure! You never have him till he’s in the boat.

[@jamessheline375]

Wish you guys got the swordfish, got some nice rosies to take home though. Congratulations. They looked delicious.

[@FloridaFishingCouple]

It was a tough loss but hey, that’s what fishing is all about. The Rosie’s were a good consolation though.

[@downsouthfishnchannel5142]

Absolutely love the bloopers!! Great video and that part where the sword jumps out the water man it was intense!!! I’m hungry now lol

[@FloridaFishingCouple]

Elizabeth did a great job capturing that jump! We knew we had a beast on after that. Real heartbreak losing that fish. We will be back again!!

Oh yea I love the way you breaded the Rosie’s . I have never had them. Add it to my bucket list . Thanks for the video and taking us with you .

[@FloridaFishingCouple]

Thank you for coming along and sharing in the fun. If you ever get the chance make sure you try the Rosie’s. Best tasting fish in the ocean so far in my opinion.

Had to watch the Sword part twice, that was nuts! Congrats for getting to see the fish, and us too!

Thanks Neil! It was a huge fish and I am so thankful we actually saw him. If not it would have been a story without any real ending. I hate when that happens!

[@FloridaFishingCouple]

Well said! Many people misunderstand the Captains orders and shouting for aggression but when the shit hits the fan you have to react quickly. Nothing personal, it just has to get done quickly and safely. Great comment!

[@johnlukasik8045]

When I saw that sword fish make an appearance, my eye's nearly popped out of their sockets ! That fish was "" YUGE "" 😱 You could have wrote a book called " The Old Man and the SEA " part two 😂I'm glad you got the fish recorded on the camera, or we never would have got to see it for ourselves ! I would think those Rosies would be tougher meat like a lobster, because they are from such deep water that puts a lot of pressure on the muscles ?

[@FloridaFishingCouple]

If we had not seen that fish it would have been the mystery that never would have been revealed. Thank goodness we actually saw it!!

[@fungus4758]

Oh great, thanks for adding the pressure 😂 I will send you that hot sauce as soon as I return. I have to see if we have rosies down here. So much seaweed down here at the moment. Bloopers..... That's what she said 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Then Nicole says squeeze them together - poor Elizabeth is outnumbered 😂 I think you scared Elizabeth when she was forking her fish and mentioning me 😆🤣😂 Cheers

And are they on structure or muddie bottom? Thanks

I’m not really sure. It is so deep that the sounder could not pick up the bottom accurately. Most likely the same as tilefish and snowy grouper.

🎶 🎼 🎵 We be jammin!

[@mbartolacc]

Best tartar sauce I have ever had was at a Fish and Chips place on Poland St. in Soho, London. It had fresh chopped dill in it and boy was it good. I made some low carb tartar sauce today for some low carb breadcrumbed shrimp I oven fried. I used the no sugar sweetened relish, mayo, and added a little "creamy dill mustard" I found at the store (instead of dried or fresh dill). It came out amazing. The dill mustard counter balanced the sweet relish.

[@FloridaFishingCouple]

That sounds amazing! I will have to try that recipe next time I make some tartar sauce. Dill sounds like a great addition. Thanks!

[@georgeniebergall7074]

He looks at swordfish because the captain panicked, but we had to do was put the boat in gear retrieve that weight of the line which would’ve kept tension on the line anyway great show love your show

[@FloridaFishingCouple]

Thanks for “Following Us!” We will get him next time for sure!

[@lloydryan7716]

Damn my mouth is watering. It was exciting to see the sword fish jump. That's a lot of work fishing 1,500 feet down for the Rosies but the flesh looked delicious. Thanks Elizabeth you taught this old duffer who's been frying fish for seventy years how not to mess with the fish in the frying pan.

[@flyjets]

I've seen a number of videos with these electric reals. In almost everyone the fisherman is handling the line with their hand while the line is coming up.. Why?

[@FloridaFishingCouple]

So there’s lots going on here. For the most part, you wind up hand lining because you have only 80 lb test braid to bring in a 100 -700 pound fish and you cannot lock down the drag or you will snap the line. You hand line as the rod and the boat Bob up and down in the waves. Taking in line on the down and waiting on the up. The trick is to tire the fish out sometimes after several hours before the hook pulls or he swipes it with his sword which happened in this case.

[@flyjets]

@@FloridaFishingCouple Interesting... thank you.
