Fishing With JIGS 30 MILES Offshore When I Caught This! [Catch and Cook]

How to Tips and Techniques! Offshore Fishing in my Grady-White in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Mexico Beach, Florida I have a great day catching several species of fish on vertical jigs including a nice Mangrove Snapper, Red Snapper, Red Grouper and a nice Gag Grouper that gets eaten by a shark on the way up. But I show you how I cut out the cheeks and throat of the gag grouper and fry it up for a delicious meal! I put out weekly videos fishing inshore and offshore showing you what I do to find and catch fish! Subscribe so you won't miss my future videos!
Fried Grouper Cheeks and Throat
Rinse and pat dry treat and coat with Louisiana Seasoned Crispy Fish Fry seasoned with Tony Chachere’s Creole Seasoning.

Excellent episode. I enjoy your videos and always learn something. Thanks for taking the time to explain as you fish.

NIce!!!! Love seeing Mexico Beach channels...

Thanks! We love living here in paradise! So blessed to be able to do what I do! Thanks for watching!

Thank you for another great video. I still can’t believe your boat is only 23 feet long. FYI that is the perfect fish in the perfect proportion to make fish head soup in the future so let you know keep the videos coming.

[@forgottencoastfishing]

Thanks!!! Glad you enjoyed it! Yes hard to believe it’s listed as a 23 ft boat. Couldn’t be happier with it! Never made a fish head soup, next time sounds like a great recipe!!! Thanks for watching!

Nice mang. You are killing my back watching you. Where’s the new 2 speed. I have always had my best days in 2-3’s like that. What gram was the j jig and was it feel right for the 120 ft

[@forgottencoastfishing]

Thanks! I haven’t gotten a rod for the speedmaster yet, mostly planning on using that for the spring AJ’s, but anxious to get that all set up! That first jig that caught all those fish was 150 grams which seemed a little too heavy but it was catching fish so who knows. I did lose that jig on a break off and went to that 80 gram later in the video, the one with the treble hook, but as you saw it lost fish and didn’t seem as effective. It was a gotcha jig. I really like those Johnny Jigs though, so I’m going to get some more of those in various shapes and weights. Thanks for watching!

Nice video! I’ve heard about grouper cheeks before but never knew what that was all about, thanks for once again showing us newbies new things!

[@forgottencoastfishing]

Thanks! Not too much meat on the cheeks or throat, but considering what we were working with it turned out great! Thanks for watching!

Gag grouper possession is "no bueno" during the closed season in the GoM.

[@forgottencoastfishing]

Thanks! Didn’t know that. I tried to verify while I was out there but couldn’t find any info.

[@charleshatcliff5588]

Why can't one keep what's left of a fish when they already know that it's just gonna keep the taxman around. Stupid law . Fish can't be released to swim another day when half their body is been eaten . Can't fix stupid but we can eat it . Enjoyed ur vid. Good luck out there an God Bless.

[@forgottencoastfishing]

​​⁠Who knows!? But glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching!

[@panamacitybeachbum]

The word for that is, tyranny.@@charleshatcliff5588

[@ericleach201]

I can’t imagine you getting into any trouble for keeping a head of a fish in season or out I don’t pretend to know all the rules though, but I think a fish and game warden would get a good chuckle Out of shark leftovers

[@forgottencoastfishing]

Probably right! Laughing at me not with me!! Thanks for watching!

[@ldean590]

Love your videos! I do think gag is closed though. I may be wrong

[@forgottencoastfishing]

It is, I was under the impression if something like that happened you could bring him home. I hope that’s right! I checked while I was out there and couldn’t find any info about not doing it. Maybe I’m wrong.

[@ldean590]

@@forgottencoastfishing I have read that it could be up to officers discretion. Maybe

[@forgottencoastfishing]

I did have it on video to prove a shark got it!

[@Johnfor3]

@@forgottencoastfishing Even if it is in season because it got bit in half it is now short and you can't keep it yeah stupid law but that's how it reads.

[@forgottencoastfishing]

@@Johnfor3 I guess if it was allowed then some guys would take advantage of it.
