Can you use this recipe on any fish like flounder and striped bass or anything like that or is it just for mahi-mahi so do me a favor and if you can answer that for me thank you very much sir oh yeah but what amazes me I live in New York and now we're starting to catch pompano and I hope it stays like that

[@ocnlltgic]

@@Bass59 It's good on an avocado with crispy hot bacon... But what isn't good with bacon? lol

[@ocnlltgic]

@@Bass59 Seafood Magic seasoning is hard to beat.

[@Bass59]

@@ocnlltgic ya got that from Amazon but the thing is I don't have Amazon the only thing I got for the fish is Old Bay I just want to find out if I could do the same thing like making the tacos with summer flounder as what we call fluke and striped bass and the Black Sea Bass because we get some big black sea bass out here

A Mahi off a pier !! You guys down in Fla are so fortunate. I have a sister in Mary Ester and went there to visit. The prettiest water I've ever seen. I live in NC ,can't complain with the opportunities offshore but I am just jealous wanting to get back down there. Had an old fishing buddy that moved there to Destin , he took me and my kids out for kings. We had just an awesome day , I can still see that beautiful purple hued water off the beach with neon green lit up to the shore I remember thinking you could paddle out in a one man craft and there's just no telling what great fighters wait on that obvious drop. Guys , gals catch one for me. Pat , we had a great time buddy, you were the best fisherman I had the pleasure of fishing with. Miss you every trip. RIP Captain Pat.

[@squirrelgunsmith1131]

You should see the size of the Kings that they catch.

[@sammylacks4937]

@squirrelgunsmith1131 Oh I know, yall hog the biggest everything there. Just let the school kids migrate up here. Lol I appreciate your reply. I hope everyone will be safe tonight. Yall keep ya heads down. God be with you.

Lure selection is important but presentation is everything, and I believe you have it figured out my friend ! Too bad the inexperienced ones can ruin a good day ! You are the man !

[@ConfusedFishingRod-gn8ej]

I so enjoy your videos. You are a fisherman and an awesome communicator! Thanks for all the knowledge you share.

[@kaseyrutherford5145]

I'm absolutely positive Brant could catch fish in a dry bathtub

[@Ftke685]

I'm absolutely positive Brant could whip someone's ass should they cast over his line too many times..

[@burtw.9018]

I agree! LOL

[@wesleyallen8902]

THIS IS A VERY TRUE COMMENT

[@BigBass-xf5yi]

I can almost feel the “low pressure “ through my smartphone,lol. That lady fish was huge, but damn, that mahi is my absolute favorite fish meat. Imho, the best fish to come out of the ocean, Great job Brant and the deck looks awesome.

[@chris6054]

Have you tried blackened cobia or pompano man? I don't really prefer mahi myself but it definitely isnt bad

[@tadroid3858]

You're like the hardest workin' man on the panhandle! Good luck with all your ventures. I really like your fishing content. Thanks!

[@jasonbenjamin9371]

Some days I hate to love you, bud!! I fish Pensacola every summer and didn't even know you catch a Mahi from the pier. Jealous from PA, lol!

[@joepollard3228]

I've hung 2 fish from Pensacola pier that I had never seen there before. One was a mahi, and I got 2 jumps from him before he escaped. The other was a sailfish, and it was like hang a rocket. In 5 seconds he was on and gone.

[@mjojco]

Brant looks at water and instantly see schools of blue and red fish half a mile out. Casts and 3 seconds later hooks up and says, "yep that's a 27 inch red." Reels in a 27 inch red fish.

[@TrickyVickey]

😆

[@dr.holland427]

I know - right?

[@profanevisions]

😂. Aint no lie. That dude good.

[@brianjeffrey1790]

Great video Brant nice action on the pier that taco made my stomach growl enjoy your new Leaf finished deck

[@GusGusGames]

Seeing you catch a mahi was super cool. I have never seen one caught from a pier.

[@cathym6270]

That little lure looks like an Oscar Meyer Winner whistle.

[@cindersfella8944]

This is the first time I have seen your videos. Great video. Your slaw & mango look delicious. It’s the first time I have seen a fish video where they cook the food keep up the great videos.😊😊😊

[@tg1cent765]

Love your videos and honesty. I learn something everytime.

[@diggy-d8w]

Pier Fishing is some of the most fascinating/challenging way to fish due to all the constraints. As with anything, you get good with the situation you deal with including how you handle the drop nets & all that. It's all "greek" to me but I learn new stuff with every video . Thanks for your time & for sharing all you've learned..... peace & GB ALL

[@vernervanschalkwyk2280]

Excellent video. Just subscribed from South Africa. Here we call it the durado.

[@MichaelSmith-uu2sw]

What a cool catch from the pier!! I went on a pre-hurricane fishing trip also. Secret spot for flounder Tuesday evening. I wasn't so lucky as everything I caught was under slot, 5 flounder around 13" and a red at 15". I also caught 2 Jacks around 22" that were fun with the light tackle.

[@jimwatson4513]

Sure is great to pack your freezer & tons of fun as well !!! Great show !!! 👍👍👍

[@michaellamountain519]

Awesome Brant. Keep up the good work i enjoy your videos alot. BIG FAN

[@evancleland1775]

New sub here. Actually headed that way in a few weeks. Haven't been to pcola in years. Can't wait to see kids catch some fish.

[@mikemercer3313]

Man I was there for this one it was good meeting you bro

[@goodcitizen64]

Brant...some people just weren't raised correctly! The craziest thing I ever dealt with was combat fishing for king salmon in Alaska! Shoulder to shoulder someone would scream fish on abd anothet person would go down the bank cutting everyones lines that didn't reel up fast enough! I loved every second of it!

[@glorybound7599]

Thanks for sharing, going to Gulf Shores soon and may try some pier fishing 🎣. Haven’t had the opportunity in 45 years. God bless.

[@CATFISHTYLER]

Anyone else notice the dark dorsal fin briefly break the surface at the 10:53 mark? Was that a shark? It appears just right after the words "there's gotta be a good fish". It's left of center frame and his rod tip points right to the area it appears. Thanks for the fun video and I'll be sure to head to the closest pier during the next hurricane no doubt. I do know it's a very good idea to head out on a low --pressure system moving in. Happy to sub. Cheers..!!!

[@agordianknot]

There are sharks near the pier. We were on that pier a couple of months ago and saw four sharks at the end of the pier chasing the fish that had been hooked the people fishing. You will also see sea turtles near the pier.

[@jajela1]

Would love to see your list of camera equipment that you use in your drop down. Great Vids!

[@caseychipley1671]

Great video brant and Ricky was creeping on you my guy 😂😂😂😂

Awesome catch man! Sweet video thanks for the content

[@madhatter2465]

I have never caught a tiny Bonita like the half a dozen and more, I stopped counting, Such a beautiful fish! And a Mahi! Dang, I`m surprised you didn`t make the early edition of the local newspaper, That taco looked delicious, Great Video!

I live in Pensacola and I go to the Pensacola pier and fish sometimes It would be cool to run into you one day but this is the first time I have ever watched your videos but I’m going to subscribe to you

[@OrionsMako]

Love these from P'cola pier, brings back lots of memories.

[@doloresdavila2378]

1st time I saw this dude. I liked the video.

[@agro2612]

My father was an Islander. When me and my brothers were youngsters my dad took us to the shoreline and jetties to show us how you can get enough food the feed the family. I had once caught a Dorado, that's what we call them here in California, but when I pulled the fish out of the water the colors on that fish was one of the most brightest of color but blended together just perfect. My dad's eyes open up huge when he saw what I brought on to the rocks and he said Damm boy...you just caught steak for everybody today. We didn't spend much more time here because my dad told us a fish like that you want to filet and cook soon after you catch it. But when you put those taco together it brought the memories of when I had my first Mahi Mahi fish taco. That recipe you had was identical to the one I was blessed with. Ya, you were blessed by hooking up on that Dorado. Good catch.

[@klassyedward9718]

Thank You for the fishing trip. Good luck, now I want to go fishing!

[@KatMo7121]

Wow! That mahi must've gotten blown in by Francine! So cool and delicious!

[@zlm2032]

Nice catch! I need to give that recipe a try.

[@LyleKim-d1n]

I was down in FL. Okaloosa pier last week and I caught a few of the baby bonito. They made some of the best fish tacos I've tasted. They don't taste like the larger bonito and the meat is light pink with no fishy taste.

[@SonnyListon-xz5oj]

Dude, great fishing and killer taco! Cheers!

[@Juanvaldez-u5j]

Dude! I had just eaten supper, but you made my mouth wate4r with your taco. Thanks😋

[@melodymakermark]

Wow this brings back memories. I grew up in the ‘60’s and ‘70’s fishing the ocean pier at Dauphin Island, AL.. good times. We’d take the boat out and troll spoons all day for Spanish and Kings. No electronics back then, so pretty much just watched for the birds. We’d come in with a cooler load of fish and after cleaning all the fish and washing the salt off the boat, off to the pier I’d go. I lived and breathed fishing back in those days. When I grew up, my career took me far away from the coast. Now at retirement age, I’m figuring on how to get back. These frequent hurricanes leave me wondering how much of myself I want to invest down there, though.

[@qaannat]

Nice catch, we used to catch the chicken dolphin all the time off Navarre. Well not all the time, but all the times we did for sure. We made up the slack with whiting and pompano.

[@nukimo2967]

Thanks for the recipes and awesome vid’s. I wish we had close deep water offshore here in Myrtle Beach, SC. We have shallow, slow slope from the beach. Deep water drop off is near 15 miles from shore. There are a few holes and man-made structure at one, three, five and seven miles out at 30 to 60 feet deep.

[@mp4213]

Yes he is a person that whispers to fish. I went on a fishing trip with capt billy years ago. He is just as special. Capt billy used to fish with capt henry wazjuck. I had the fishing day of my life. It was winter in the sarasota bay. We wade fished all day. He outfished me 7-3. Needless say i froze my peanuts off. But a day i will remember forever. Brant is just as good.

[@williamhughes5197]

You were definitely a fisherman to catch a palagic let alone a mahi mahi from a Pier. Nice job cooking it as well. It looked awesome with the condiments you prepared.

great video also curious what blank was that rod you were using with the x raps

[@shawnrich8868]

I used to use blues for king fishing piers how do the smalls Bonita's work I'm sure they produce a good bite too just never caught any small enough to use?

Wow my favorite fish to eat. Looks fantastic. Can’t imagine catching one from the pier. Glad you were relatively unscathed from the hurricane. 😎

[@JohnFishingOfficial]

What’s your fishing rod/line specs?? Nice catch!

[@christopherstokes9424]

Mate . A Fisherman from Australia. Grey beard ...hard hands .. sunburnt and scarred and I'm only 59. Dealt with saltwater crocodiles up real close. Months at sea killing fish every day . Common names don't really cut it . Latin names help you bring it back. Scomberomorus commerson . Are what we call Spanish Mackerel. One year I focussed on getting fish better than 20 kilograms. Well I blew the doors off . First trip two at 30 at kilograms. Next trip ....48.50 kilograms.About 106 pounds in your system. Our Mangrove Jack is Lutjanis Argentimaculatus . These fish are tough in close territory. The amount of undersized fish I have landed with hooks still in the jaws and ones just over size have hooks partially digested and bunched up next to their anal vent tells me that these guys are tough to get out of close cover . They get to have some space and dive for cover . Just re rig . The Lutjanis are the best fresh eating fish . Yeah there are others

[@alone_traveler552]

What type of rod do you recommend for pier pompano Bonita etc.

[@dads85]

Hello sir i love your videos, may i ask what are the specs of your rod? Ty

[@evancleland1775]

How's the reds there? Do the bite pretty regularly? And is the pier pretty crowded in the week?

[@geoffhenson9913]

What was the fish with the spines? I learned about those the hard way recently.

I called them Dolphins for a long time also. We definitely don’t catch them off the piers in North Carolina. I have never caught one off the piers up here.

[@ocnlltgic]

Grill the onions, Thai Chiles and pineapple... then drizzle with lime juice... sear the fish (whole fish cook; head on) over coconut fronds; toss grilled veggies in raw cane sugar, salt, and pepper... set them on the plate, and then lay the grilled fish on top with fresh cucumbers and cherry tomatoes on the side... dayum you got me missing the gulf coast.

[@FluffyPantsReviews]

What model of x rap do you use? I know you use the glass ghost color but what model because the one I bought I can’t really cast that far especially if there is any amount of wind. Thanks

[@curtisblair7618]

Nice catch Brant

[@jengle1970]

Also, are those bonita edible or is there a size limit?

[@leafbinder2544]

Just a question why didnt ya hook one of those bait fish up on a 2nd rod and just let it set?

Why don't you carry a bait rig? When I lived on Santa Rosa I always carried a small crappy fishing rod rigged up to catch baits.
