Garlic Butter, Grilled MANGROVE SNAPPER! Catch, Clean, and Cook

[@bradnortham]

Props for mentioning Mr. Thornton. He's forgotten more about fishing than most of us will ever know. I haven't seen any other KZbinrs mention him. When I took up surf fishing, I read everything I could find that he ever wrote, and because of it, was able to rapidly get my bearings in the salt, as a central MS/AL fisherman.

[@mreggo8003]

My last name is Thornton too!

Shows you have character when you are humble enough to ask for knowledge, also heard it said, wisdom begins with knowledge and knowledge is the first form of Godliness. I appreciate you

[@josephthompson4519]

2-5 Cav here buddy. Good to see First Team Vets here on the Alabama Gulf Coast. Love your content, my 10 year old and i watch from over here in Mobile.

[@jamesthompson8133]

Great job man, it’s hard to beat a good old black snapper. Thank you for the great videos. I’m not able to fish like I use to so it’s a lot of fun watching you! Thank you for including God and thanking him in your videos! You are a class act!! Best of luck to you and God bless!

[@alabama_pinball]

How about a video explaining the knots you use when rigging up.

[@armedmariner]

Agree. A video on favorite always used knots

[@qnyqpy]

Line 14 to 30 lb use Palomar knot anything less use a a uni knot i have caught a 20 lb red fish on 15 lb test with a Palomar knot.

[@spencershelkofsky4980]

Great video, I met David Thornton at a surf fishing clinic we volunteered for this past weekend. Super nice guy and very knowledgeable.

[@wrightackle1]

I like that Plano. Love how it is the one latch instead of the three on their other waterproof boxes. Price is very good for what you are getting. Black snapper are my favorite fish to eat also. Sweetest meat on the planet.

[@coloradocatchcleanandcook3426]

I just love watching these videos.

[@benkimbrell8849]

Brings back old memories of fishing the wall. My parents owned a place in Grande Point years ago. I taught my sons to saltwater fish on that wall. Best fish there was a 30” cobia. Looks exactly the same. Thanks for the video. I really enjoyed it. Have subscribed.

[@michaeldaddono2115]

Bro, that tacklebox like incredible I completely love your channel keep up the good work man

[@reelpiscator4271]

Yessirrr Im liking the constant uploading I cant wait for my wrist to heal hopefully can start grinding like you🙏🏽

Great stuff. Noticed the Calvary on ur cap. Was part of 2-7 Cav myself for a bit. Got my support bro!

[@ipmcphilippines1653]

Gotta love the sound of screaming drag. Well done. Definatley stingray.

[@badbonzai1]

You rock. Have to live vicariously thru someone, you the man.

[@keneng5133]

Love the video and the recipe. Props too for the Army Calvary patch, my Dad was WWII Army Calvary and served overseas in the Pacific.

[@artlagadar5581]

Wow that spot is legit bro, you can fish and chill while sip a coffee. Love from Indonesia

[@saltrock9642]

I’m glad you did those on the grill that. I don’t do it enough but that now gonna change. Thanks buddy!

[@ChewingToons]

Best way to cook all fish IMO. Tho I put my lemons in the cavity and put the garlic mutter on 1st for the seasoning to stick to. But the taste is most important. We are lucky we can catch some of the best food available. Nice one mate.

[@carlsmith412]

I know this video is old, but I just saw it. I met Mr. David while I was trout fishing on Dauphin Island last summer. Super knowledgeable and a genuinely nice guy. Love the videos.

[@goddobless]

Just subscribed to your channel and loving it. Well done. I think we call it butter fish here in Jamaica

[@chuckyoneil2853]

Man my mouth is watering and it's only morning, fresh caught is best,Thank you.

[@jimzivny1554]

Nice morning fishing. Cooking portion had me drooling 🤤 I'll definitely try it

[@donaldfarr8162]

Another great video. I love the catch clean and cook. I’m down here now. I can see that bridge behind you from my condo. BTW. The weather sucks right now. Pouring rain.

[@Paul_214]

I’ve learned a lot watching your videos … great job 👍, nice content always

[@Jake.warren251]

Love it. I've tried a lot of your recipes and they are all delicious

[@davidumbarger601]

You are easily my favorite fisherman. I just wish you posted videos more often , lol

[@Mecheng88]

That baby spot is killer flounder bait. I have seen some monster fish caught on it. If you get bigger spot, they are excellent Cobia bait also.

[@Ray56z]

2nd catch, clean, cook, and eat with another recipe I'll have to try. Nice mangroves too!

[@BamaSaltwater]

They're delicious for sure! Thanks for commenting

[@markrowe2227]

Showing us how to fish and cook. I will definitely be revisiting this video when it’s my turn to cook a mangrove. Looks delicious. Thank you.

[@alexanderaguirre3345]

im your new follower i enjoy the way you fish with ligther line.. fish on! from Philippines..

[@joshmassey7566]

Another great video!! I am going to have to try some snapper cooked like that. It looked great!!

[@curtis1301]

❤ definitely one of my family's favorite to catch and eat. Thanks for the recipe.

[@brucesquires3698]

Excellent video! You make fishing so do-able for my sporadic visits to LA. Keep up the great work! Love the flag flying at the end of the video!

[@randellarmstrong1465]

Man you're having so much fun doing what you enjoy i really wish I could join you

[@jimmurdock2620]

Great video !! I must get a Engel Bait Cooler. I think using live bait may be a whole new world of fishing for me. I did manage to catch some nice Spade fish at the gas rigs off Fort Morgan. Last weekend. I can only imagine if I used live bait. The snapper looks absolutely delicious!! Keep them catch and cooks coming.

[@mrcbreakable3092]

Do it. Live bait is king!

[@raybates3119]

Mangroves, triple tail, and flounder are some of the best eating fish out there!

[@janinedraper8757]

Enjoyed your catch And keep video very imformative

[@jamesburke638]

Very productive sea wall. Good content. I fish the Indian River off Hutchinson Island

[@jessedanford9360]

Grate job on the fish!

[@mirandamaher9465]

That "shiner" is a Mohara, they are the best snook and snapper bait. Softer than pinfish, big predators prefer them, easier to eat.

[@pierpounder]

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mojarra

[@TampaBaySaltwaterFishing]

Good stuff! I use cut greenback for them here in Florida.

[@franklinmilliron8407]

Awesome video brother. I have yet to catch a mangrove! It's on my kill list.

[@coopercarmody5757]

Small suggestion, hook a smaller mullet through just the top of mouth, not too and bottom, it allows them to breath better, they will be healthier and last longer!!

[@bryantg7641]

That dried up soap fish slime, almost reminds me of Jack boogers !!!

[@texasplumr]

Bama, you know that when you start using bigger baits that you should use bigger gear. Even with your bigger rod and reel I'm not sure you'd have unstuck that stingray though! They're like a suction cup when they burrow under the sand. I've never even heard of a Soap Fish either and I've been fishing in the gulf my entire life! Maybe they don't work their way down to Texas.

[@MrHaynesjp]

Shut up he’s doing just fine

[@mattferguson9024]

Any help or guidance on where to catch some finger mullet in orange beach/gulf shores? Im getting tired of waiting in that shrimp line at 5:30 in the morning after driving an hour from Bay Minette . Any input or advice would help.

[@BamaSaltwater]

I cast net at home but there’s plenty of public areas that’ll hold bait.

[@williamwelsh5451]

Love that hat my brother!!!! As always great videos 😇

[@dakindonerobert1141]

Bama - You rock!

[@ericglenn4644]

Great fishing video with some nice snapper

[@BTL3.0]

What type of fish can be caught here during Late July, possibly early August? Beside from snapper? I am considering a vacation visit to Orange Beach next Summer.. Thanks

[@FloridaBoyGrizz]

Big Snappers have been running in my area new Symerna/Daytona beach / Titusville. My mom and I went out on Labor Day and caught a few keeper magos. I was seeing bigger ones chasing finger mullet and I was kicking myself for not bringing my Cast next . Anyways love your videos man🤘🏽

[@richardrobinson601]

Great catch and eat video, love it ! Question, why are the docks by your home not usable being disintegrated by weather ?

[@jadalim2825]

whats the best spot to fish in gulf shores?

[@BamaSaltwater]

State Pier is a good place!

[@cjahlert]

Great video. Ive never fished the wall that far down before, a must do. I'm coming down in October. , did you throw your cast net from the wall or someplace else?

[@BamaSaltwater]

I threw it somewhere else, but there is a lot of bait that hangs around the wall.

[@jcook8191]

[@jameslambert8863]

Where is this location? I would love to take my grandkids fishing there!

[@BamaSaltwater]

The Pass in Orange Beach

[@Dackelfan612]

Nice vid. But I always wonder why you guys don't use a simple plastic pearl under the weight. Every time the lead bounces on the knot while casting and fighting, it lowers the duracy of the line. Often there are sharp grades on it and even if not, the pressure damages it. That's a standard thing in Europe, and I think every fish you can save from dying is worth a few cents for that very cheap cosmetic. No offend, just wondering why... Good catches and greets from Bavaria

[@maxpinson5002]

I often use a small split shot for the same purpose
