Fishing Uncharted Waters - Bonus Critter - Catch Clean Cook

[@MrMknowles44]

picking up the bucket - hilarious, and ur one honest dude!!!

[@Tigerpuffer]

Nice vibe here. Catchin fish, lookin at fish, even feedin the fish some. Didn't get bent outta shape about the sharks. Enjoyed being along for the ride here.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

Thanks for coming along! 🙏🏻

[@funoldude]

Dude. I have been following you for years. You two are an exceptional couple. The mutual admiration and respect for each other is wonderful.

[@hansgruber2509]

Thanks captain, I love how you only keep what you need and let the others go for another day

[@5lanediver]

I can't believe you just picked up the bucket and caught it! amazing!!

[@KeyWestWaterman]

haha right I couldn't either

[@flysubcompact]

That was crazy.

[@partner348]

I can't believe they didn't spook. If I get near them on the inshore buoys they dive.

[@camrendewaard1323]

@@KeyWestWaterman Haha that fish in the bucket was epic! What a story. Curious though, why put the bucket back in the ocean instead of bringing it home and throwing it out? Thanks!

[@ww3662]

[@hullhealersboatworksrestor4377]

Great video capt! I’m about to follow my lifelong dream of being an offshore guide. After 37 years I finally decided to follow my dream and just bought a big boat, got my captains license, got a great name for my charter and I’m going to start my new journey. Luckily I have been fishing my local waters for 30+ years and I’m ready to take people to catch fish. I enjoy putting others on fish more than catching them myself.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

Best of luck! love to hear it, life's to short to do anything other than exactly what you want.

[@hullhealersboatworksrestor4377]

@ amen to that man. I’m going from owning a boat repair shop making great money to idk what I’ll make. But, I’m confident that my happiness and faith will bring me the success I need to survive. Just now watching your video on your journey in the background and it’s awesome to hear how you sold everything to go to the keys!

[@SpeedracerMach]

I like how you and your wife team Up in the kitchen. That's always a nice sign of a healthy relationship. You did that fish awesome

[@partner348]

I appreciate that you didn't throw the rib meat out like so many do. Another way to save the rib meat of any fish is to lay the whole skinned filet gut side down on the table and put your knife in at the rib side of the pin bones and filet the meat off the ribs just like you fileted it off the skin. This gives you a boneless mini filet. You CAN leave them attached, but I separate them and cook them separate from because they cook faster than the thicker pieces.

[@EddieGilliland-m3v]

Love to hear Madeline laugh.

[@peterparsons7141]

I grew up eating a lot of fish, fresh fish. (Newfoundland). You talked about salt/pepper being your preferred seasoning for some fish. That’s the only thing I even had on fish until I was in my twenties and living in the city and purchasing fish. If I have good fish I wouldn’t spoil it with heavy seasoning. I worked in a good French restaurant while in school and so learned that they use clarified butter. It adds a little to whatever oil. Costco sells clarified butter (not refrigerated). This from Wikipedia; Lobotes tripletails are found in warm waters throughout the world. They are coastal fishes and can be found in estuaries, bays and inlets and will often be found around man-made objects, typically singly but they will school at times. Juveniles often float among Sargasssum weed. It’s pretty cool to see exactly what the textbook describes about the fish hanging around a bucket or a piece of flotsam. You guys cooked the fish perfectly!

[@KeyWestWaterman]

haha thats awesome, we've really learned to love it that way like I said if the fish is fresh!

[@EvolutionaryThinking]

Hey, regarding the clarified butter, you can make one at home. It's simple. Put a pinch of salt in the regular butter and let it simmer on a low heat, after few minutes the white "foam" will start to gather on the surface, scoup the foam and remove it, keep removing it until there's no foam left, that's about the time when the melted butter turns it's color to brownish and you have the clarified butter (beurre noissete). Strain it into some kind of metal or ceramic bowl and refrigerate it. That's it.

[@DavidLavalley-u3n]

I am just north of you about ten miles. I had a 14" tripletail here in the channel off the seawall. It was in a protected bay. We often have small 3-6 inch juveniles, but that was the biggest I have seen this close in. Nice tripletail catch and thanks for showing cleaning it.

[@pennywise804]

Good people and she did amazing job with crust and cooking to perfection, thanks for sharing

[@PHaynes]

Greetings from coastal, lowcountry of SC. Long time offshore fisherman (60-years) now pretty much past for me as I'm 73. First time watching you. Love your episodes - like most southerners, you over-achieved with the gorgeous, classy Lady in your life. My advice is don't change a think in your format: educational/instructional yet not a know-it-all - you readily admit what you don't know but so quick to share the helpful stuff. What you do and share is the the absolute best and true joy of small boat bigwater fishing. Most enjoyable especially for those of us who now live vicariously through the adventures of others. Thanks much & tight lines, Py

[@KeyWestWaterman]

Really appreciate the kind words! Welcome to the channel and thanks for coming along! 🙏🏻

[@gguanche7]

Best part about Mondays 👍

[@ScottTalkington]

Fact!

[@mikemoore1687]

Amen

[@jeffreynagy5395]

Outstanding filleting of the "tripletail" sir!

[@1240dtorre]

If you dont already have one please invest in a Man overboard kill switch and consider wearing an auto-inflator. Six or so months ago a guy up in NC fell out of his boat and was never found. His boat was found. Theory is he may have slipped off the gunnel messing with an out rigger. Boat was in gear.

[@robertmcminn2122]

Used to frequent a fish shop. The owner’s son got tangled in line and was pulled overboard. Disappeared.

[@derekcook8201]

Yea it made me nervous when he stood on the edge of the boat to grab his rod while he was cruisin solo.

[@terrymayberry]

Great episode. Thanks for taking us along

[@KeyWestWaterman]

🙏

[@TexasVeteranFishing]

These are cool style vids, teaching folks how you locate structure to find fish. Awesome TT too. Great vid man.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

glad you enjoyed it!

[@comfortablynumb9342]

Agreed 👍

[@rogrambo]

Ohhhh those small black fins like that are SOOO good!! Especially when they are fresh!

[@quickblapps]

When i first saw you hold the tripletail, my first thought was "hmm, I've cut myself on those gillplates way too many times to hold them there!" 😂😂 Then saw you fall into the same trap! Great vid bro

[@candicemonsour6294]

That up close triple tail eat was amazing

[@kimmorgano8778]

Glad your summer is cooler. See, as a native, I need to live in the Keys. My fav place. We are sweltering here in Stuart, FL. The heat and humidity is off the charts!

[@ScottStrange-k8o]

This was a nice deviation from your mangrove fishing, which i love as well. I fished with my dad in the early 70's when he was stationed in key west... we did a lot of drift fishing. Love your channel.

[@randaltotten9358]

The 60s and 70s was great years it wasn't really fishing it was just throwing the bait or lure out and try to get it back🎉

[@edwinroberts4653]

love finding new secret spots!!

[@KonaMan0034]

Thanks for the video update about your storm situation. Got pretty spicy up here in Tarpon Springs. Noticed South Florida Fishing Couple started watching you. Mentioned it on their last vid. Keep up the great work.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

hope yall made it through okay! and I will have to check It out!

[@jasonbihari]

I’ve caught triple tails 20-25 miles from the gulf in charlotte harbor. They migrate certain times of the year. We get a lot on stone crab buoys in the winter.

[@timothymccabe8159]

Just got home from flyfishing on the frying pan in Basalt Colorado and realized Holy shit there’s a new episode of Key West Waterman. Always look forward to it on Monday.

[@rapidtransit8373]

Love your show that ocean in the morning looked like a lake. I've lived in pompano bch. for 57 years. Moved down when I was 10 use to go fish with my grandparents at their trailer in Morehead N.C. I love fishing I'd love to get a boat now that I have grandkids.

[@tomlpdx]

Sounds like a nice balance in the ways the 2 of you cook. Need the southern food to balance out the fish! Love you guys!

[@KeyWestWaterman]

amen!

That’s crazy catching that triple tail 🐟 without any effort…❤

[@KeyWestWaterman]

haha right!

[@burtminshew4812]

Trigger is my favorite tasting fish. I've tried about them all in a taste test. We cut fresh cobia, king, reds, snapper etc etc into nuggets for taste test and it is just so clean.

[@scottdenzin9124]

Excellent looking on the plate.

[@FISHGEEK305]

Seen some big Tripletails on lobster and crab bouys near Smith Shoal and you are right that was a big one for the Keys and they tear your hands up

[@goodcitizen64]

Thanks for taking us along!! God bless y'all

[@KeyWestWaterman]

🙏

[@big1bass]

We catch big ones on buoy chains along with Cobia. but you have to have someone on the motor in reverse to help get them away from the chain and your thumb on the spool to prevent drag.

[@dsolo3250]

You can check triple tail off your bucket list. I found a floating five gallon bucket half mile off the port Canaveral entrance on a jet ski. It was full of fish and a small tripple tail. I had all this bait and no pole. Very cool find

[@frostbitegaming4369]

Love the vid sir, awesome to see the spot finding process and get to hang out for the ride while i'm stuck at home! Thanks Aaron, keep it up boss 🤙

[@JerretBryan-t9f]

Love your videos brother. I really like watching you on your different boats, i have a smaller boat so the inshore fishing info i get is awesome.. and then all the offshore stuff i get to use when on friends boats. Keep doing your thing man always waiting for a new upload lol

Another great video! I’ve caught more than a few tt’s on stumps along the outside shorelines of the Everglades. Even caught one on a top water😀💪

[@jayjohnson9668]

Caught my PB Tripletail down in Apalachicola last year. It was 31”s and actually went back to the same buoy later and caught his little brother at 28”s. They are so fun to catch! And honestly they are one of my favorite eating fish too!😎

[@colemant6845]

Snook & Triple Tail are on my "Eat Before I Die" bucket list. Great video.

We get tripletail inshore/nearshore in Louisiana-Alabama every year during late summers on debri. Always fun catching them on lightweight tackle inshore!

[@matthewmercer2477]

That's some very nice looking fish. TTT is on my bucket list.

[@rogerr7856]

That was a nice bucket O fish! 😎🌴🍹

[@jorgegorina3039]

Great video Mr. Young. Nice catch on that triple tail

[@GarysBBQSupplies]

We have recently started using our air fryer for fish. I use some Q-sat (SPG on steroids) let is sit for and hour, cover it with mayonnaise and bake on high at 400 until it browns and is flakey. WOW amazing. Really enjoy your videos!

[@returnemright]

Way to put a nice little box together exploring new spots! Thanks again for the shoutout and for being a positive influence on fishing and conservation. We do still have gear too! 👍

Excellent video... This fish is really delicious to eat... My daughter has a cat the same color as yours and she loves watching your video and especially when your cats appear.

The sharks have been really bad here also on the west coast of Florida. Nice triple tail!

[@CaptainSloose]

i love bottom fishing....you doing prospecting on ledges is my jammmmm up here in NJ... i love trying new snags. We need to get you a rhodan or a minn kota, drifting suuuuucks!!!! total game changer. I Love your stuff aaron i look forward to it each week

so good!

Love the bucket catch…that was the best!

[@JUSTINGITTINGS]

Pensacola guy here...we see triple tail come inshore to the bay and intercoastal in late summer I believe. See them on dock pilings, floating stuff, crab trap buoys.

[@scottwilsonrestoration]

so entertaining....triple tail joy!!!

Man, that is a mighty tasty treat. The triple tail that is.

Dude, that was a killer triple tail bite!

[@KeyWestWaterman]

right! I was pumped

[@mikemoore1687]

Dude that was absolutely awesome great bucket catch hahaha remind me of jug fishing for catfish and gar

[@CrimeVid]

Salt,Pepper and Butter to cook in, Fish caught yesterday and refrigerated works well. You can eat small cod caught today but better tomorrow. I prefer the simplest way to cook fish, then you can taste it properly.

[@eustaceomalley6071]

Hope you, your family and boat are all okay... stay safe the next couple days bud.

[@diademmichael]

That large triple tail bite was sweet. Looks like the little one triggered his "eat now or lose it" instinct. And the meal at the end... Dang! the golden brown crisp on one side but juicy still inside.

[@2FishingAddicts]

Just got an electric reel a few months ago(thanks to your deep drop videos), looking to dial in some yellow eye on my next trip! (I see you’re a bit shallower than what I’ve been fishing lol) great video as always buddy 👍🏼

[@bigcity2085]

Hey, when I asked about shrimp nets like La. , I meant I've seen them tossing nets somewhat like your bait net...instead of hand scooping one at a time. I know - you've got a plan. Can't wait to see it.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

ahh throwing cast nets on them, yea we don't get them thick enough to throw nets on them from what I've seen. maybe someone else has it dialed in.

[@RickSaxon]

First timer. Very nice show. Well done.

[@TonyDsMovementsJa]

Awesome fishing...sweet snappers.....

[@imolony]

Great video! Enjoyed the live stream Q&A as well. "I know I should have trawled this debris a couple of times, but... you know... I like lookin' at stuff. When you know you know." Yes, Aaron, you legend! We know! 😂🤣😂 ✌️❤️🚀🤠

Nice I've only had Triple Tail once they're Delicious,, great video Caption Aron

[@chrisspearing3972]

Triple tail is my favorite fish in florida.its very rare for me to catch them in crystal river . Last time I caught one was by the spoil banks by one of our bait buoys . caught him on a one inch pinfish he ended up being 21 1/2 inches.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

man they are good! and thats a nice one!

[@comfortablynumb9342]

Be sure to check under all bouys and bug channel markers. Anything that floats can have them, and they like the same channel markers and stuff that cobia like. When I was able to get out to fish for tripletail we caught a lot under stone crab trap floats. My favorite bait for them is a live shrimp, they can't pass it up if you cast it in the right spot.

[@craig1lengyel]

Besides loving your boat I love that range. Had to pause to see which one it is...

[@livkinry]

Beautiful! Enjoyed every minute!
