INVASIVE Multispecies Catch Clean Cook! Mayan Cichlid, Peacock Bass, Oscar

[@joeblow655]

I literally have all those fish in my fish tank. That's crazy!

[@johnaverick7468]

Thats how they get in the south FL. waterways. lol

[@AKhan.28]

John Averick they escape the fish tank? Lol jk

[@scotthunter3793]

Haha me too! Wonder how they taste sometimes but I love those fish

[@terrybyrd4386]

Keeping it real and simple when making the catch and cooks is the best. We can all follow these examples of good food idea for dinner. Good stuff and fishing is fun too.

[@AnimalBro]

Terry Byrd I just did a primitive catch and cook! Would Appreciate a sub

[@joecorrero6763]

When I was in college, one of my roommates had 4 or 5 Oscars in an aquarium. They were about 4” long when he got them and in less than a year, they were the size of the one Brooke caught. We would go to the bait shop and buy shiners to feed them when they were grown. We would drop 20-25 shiners in the aquarium and the Oscars would demolish them. One Oscar would have 5 or 6 in their mouth at a time. Just couldn’t believe how aggressive those fish were. Great vid as always👍

[@eriklarson9137]

We had a GIANT one growing up. Had a 400 gallon tank and he was alone most of his life because he killed and ate everything except one GIANT pleco. It was nuts. I bet that thing weighed 4 lbs.

[@stuartjohnson4438]

I have 3 and they are never not hungry I fed crickets today and one had like 4 in it's mouth.

[@2wheelarnie]

how big was the tank, jesus

[@averageeverydayfishermansh4501]

I went to Miami for work for three weeks in February/March 2019 and of course had to bring a fishing pole...or course I had to. I fished the canals every night after work and all day on the weekends. Caught a ton of Peacocks, Mayans, a Jaguar Gapote, and some other species. It was so much fun and so easy for anyone to do. I was on the west side right by the Turnpike and just north of IKEA/Bass Pro. Seriously, if you have ever thought of doing it, you have to. Get a hotel for a couple of days and hit the canals. They are everywhere and so are the fish. Way too much fun!!!! I didn't get to eat any since I was in the hotel but I wanted to try them. Glad to see you make this video to show that they are good fish!

[@ziniarae1691]

I've watched all of your videos, and what really stood out is your advocacy that there's no such thing as trash fish. I am from the Philippines, and here mostly all fish, wether a salt water or a fresh water fish, they're all edible. All parts, aside from the guts. I'm a huge fan. Hope you try stuffed grilled fish next time.

[@sunnydayrealestate]

nice! where i fish with my mates, we typically leave the peacock bass on the line for an extra while the other guys throw their baits in the vicinity of the already hooked up peacock bass. it sort of keeps a chain of peacock bass landing going once you've got the teamwork system down haha

[@longhorn44jc]

I just started watching you and Brook. This show is excellent. You answer a lot of questions about what is in all the ponds, lakes , etc in residential areas. Cooking the fish adds "credibility" to your show. I watch your shows every day now. Very entertaining.

[@kevinmencer3782]

*13:51* Except for salmon, which stays a pinkish color.

[@Matas226]

Mayan Cichlid are good fighting fish and they are good to eat.

[@billywhite3579]

Great day of fishing. I would like to see and Brook fish freshwater more often.

[@couped243]

I know this is a year + old but when you broke out the rice a roni I had to post.. On a night my mother wanted to make a quick meal Rice a Roni was definitely a possibility. You are absolutely right, the smell of the butter and seasoning packet while browning the rice is amazing. thanks for the memories.

[@patrickharris4641]

Its pronounced my-en cichlid not mae-en

[@timfields6130]

Thank you.I was just going to post the same thing.

Awesome, thanks for putting this out there and getting folks to help slow down the invasion.

[@scottodonahoe9505]

Soak the fillets in iced water with salt over night and bloodline taste is gone . Salt draws it out ! Kill the fish your keeping right away and toss on ice makes it even better !

[@archzay5073]

Thanks, I’ll try 😎

[@YourLordAnon]

With so many invasive species in your area I'm surprised you didn't throw that crappie back.

[@Greencoachdog]

Excellent video as always Victor!... I'd like to see a Bowfin catch, clean, cook vid please! Tip: don't let the fillets come into contact with water as it will make the meat mushy, clean them carefully and blot them with dry paper towels. 😉

[@josephvalle5976]

Get a meat grinder, load up on invasive cichlids, and grind them up for chum. Add some menhaden oil to it to give it a nice oil slick. My neighbor used to do this for reef fishin for yellowtail snapper. Be a great way to help the environment and save yourself a few bucks on chum.

[@MrMightyBeans]

I can hang out with this guy all day long. Thanks for the video man.

[@gsbswf]

What a great video and a great take on "trash" fish. Same goes for big game. Handled properly from the start and cooked properly, you can't go wrong. Thanks for sharing this experience!

[@keylargo2001]

I just noticed something. You might want to consider moving that grill away from being under the over hang on the roof. Houses have been known to be damage by just the simplest grease fire or propane tank malfunction.

[@LeeBro999]

Bruce Lloyd best not to have to explain to insurance company! You’re right.

[@keylargo2001]

@@LeeBro999 I was on the fire dept. for 33 years. In that time I saw 4 houses get destroyed by either an over filled propane tank that vented while they were cooking or they started a grill right under right under the over hang. Even the radiate heat from a grill can start a fire. The best place to get propane is from a store that has an exchange program. They fill it to the legal weight and check every tank they fill. It's their reputation and insurance if something goes wrong. A lot of gas station propane fill stations really don't know what they are doing. A lot of times the bottle will say it's a 20 lbs. tank put it on the scale and fill it to 20 lbs even though the tank weighs 15 lbs empty. So your only getting 5 lbs. of gas.

[@chris6054]

Have some Mayans that have taken over a local dog park canal. Used to go catch all my mullet bait in it, 15 years later I can't catch more than a dozen for an entire day. Time to give it a try

[@coastdweller]

Awesome video, we drive from south Ga every year in april and catch tons of Oscars, cichlids. Talapia, peacocks, and walking catfish. Last year we came home with 770 fillets.

[@kerrydevrient4885]

OMG!!!!! More freshwater fishing!!! And... invasive species...even better. Catch, clean and COOK!!!!

[@msgreen487]

For your blackening seasoning mix try a bit of white pepper.

[@richd5059]

I've always found that as long as the fish has been bled out that the mud taste goes away.

[@jsprunger6246]

Bleeding the fish matters a ton

[@carrieeasley3995]

What is sad, is that the Cichlids and Oscars were aquarium fish that were dumped in the waters of Florida and they thrived and multiplied into an invasive species. The same with Peacock Bass, only someone transported the first ones from Mrxico

[@ncoutdooradventures6148]

Peacock bass sustained us daily while our small crew was"trapped" rebuilding a part of Homestead after hurricane Andrew. Work during the day, catch a couple peacocks in the evening, eat, sleep, and do the same thing the next day,, for 6 months!

[@dsbaarda1]

Just a handy tip for spices that you make at home, save the parmesan cheese containers and fill them with your spice blend after a wash. makes it much easier to store and to shake on foods.

[@andreuzee9455]

I believe any fish that is cooked fresh is good. I think it is the care you take with the fish also.

[@lewisspeed3041]

Great video,fishing south Florida is amazing.

[@joshbeach9147]

Not sure why anyone would think the freshwater fish wouldn’t taste good. I’ve always found freshwater fish (from good water) tasting clean. Good vid!

Wow I am so jealous of the fishery there. I live in SO Cal and have never been very interested in fresh water. But I would love to do that on an off day. Thanks

[@Pyan1]

i feel bro, if only socal had more freshwater, and more species

[@kyledixon4647]

Hey fresh water fish are great I live by the Great Lakes and that’s all I’ve grown up catching. Walleye taste great among many other kinds !

[@jacobmccandles1767]

Victor, your fillet technique has improved with practice. Well done!

[@buzzkiller9942]

Crappie is DELICIOUS and is one of the best tasting freshwater fish. PERIOD!

[@jaspertrainor5792]

When I was a kid in the 70’ we used to say If you want to know what a fresh water fish tastes like; drink some water from the lake and that’s what it will taste like. Now that I am older Realize it’s all about taking care of your catch.Like you always say no bad fish just bad cooks. Greetings from N.Y.C. Are season should be in full swing in a few weeks. We kill time trying flies and Fly fishing for trout. It’s a blast, you should try it down in Florida. And the trout are delicious!😋🎣

[@grandwonder5858]

Don’t forget to do a catch and cook on the biggest invasive species of them all, Victor! - the common carp!

[@leejackcats-eye7132]

Man f them carps, but they are fun to catch😃

[@thehiddenangler9083]

common carp are technically not invasive they are naturalized but it depends on where you live in the states or canada

[@phishingphil5965]

Great vid as always. I know you say there’s No trash fish but I think you should try a mud fish aka dogfish. I tried it once and will never again lol

[@user-vx1cg3jy8e]

Have to bleed them, lots of work.

[@brettstone5287]

I don't fish freshwater in Massachusetts for 1 simple reason. Due to regulations, it is unsafe for pregnant woman or woman would want to become pregnant and children under 12 to eat native freshwater fish due to Mercury and PCB contamination. Even adult males can only eat a limited amount of fish each month. It is safe however to eat fish that were stocked in lakes but I don't particularly target these fish (trout mainly). I wonder if Florida has the same regulations?

[@Mateogreat]

Mercury tends to be higher in predator fish like bass,gar, pike,catfish since they eat other fish panfish have way less mercury. Florida's warnings are for bass, and gar mostly in south florida

[@Aztek996]

Im from minnesota and crappie is my favorite fish to eat atleast around here. Just amazing.

[@bigchad8929]

Crappie is the best.

[@Aztek996]

@@bigchad8929 in my opinion it is. Some people think walleye is the best but i think that is just because of the nice big fillet

My line is now yellow green...... Smh I look up river and noticed a homeless person bathing.... No I was not mad, but I fell sorry for that person and left.... I was more glad to see a homeless person bath.... I ended up leaving...

[@michaelhochman5694]

Been waiting for this vid ever since I saw the insta story

[@needmoreramsay]

Filleting is definitely an art and I can appreciate the ease of eating and the fine dining presentation, but I LOVE cooking fish with the bones in. Ads so much flavor and also satisfies that primal urge we all have to pick apart food with our hands and sort of prolong the dining experience. Same with lobster, oysters, RIBS, T-Bone, etc. Now on a date or dinner with the in-laws, filet is the way to go.

[@gregjohnson720]

The peacock is very common in the Amazon where they are called Tucunaré (Too Koo Nah Ray). In the Amazon, they get really big (over twenty pounds).

[@The63blonde]

Wow those cichlids get really big out there

[@tgshort7638]

Tip for any fresh water fish that makes it better. ,,,,,Soak filet's in milk over night then rinse off all the milk before you cook it. This removes the muddy taste in some fresh water fish. I also will use same trick on less than fresh salt water fish. It works better than brining.

[@jaaron2834]

Dude, I've noticed you've always fried your fish, .... when it comes any bass, you might want to try steaming a whole bass Chinese style, ... You get all the flavour of the fish without the fishy taste, it might change your mind about frying all your catches 😃 You can youtube the methods... I'm sure you won't be disappointed 👌✌️👍😎

[@Timmothy2012]

I prefer my fish fried it's a person thing nothing against steamed or grilled I just like fried. That's why we all have different opinions.

[@Zoro16288]

I hate bass , due to all I catch the most was bass back in indy and they are fishy tasting fishes no matter was it steam w ginger scallion or fried , maybe cuz they were in the pond but since I moved to FL they won’t be in my fishing list but I did catch some w one of my buddy hahaha

[@eriklarson9137]

Fresh water fish often benefit from a soak in milk and hot sauce...5-10 minutes, then use your corn starch four mix. You will not be disappointed. FL has soo many invasive species. Its ridiculous! Share great ways to eat them and help save the native species. Enjoyed you vid bro.

I don't know who told you that freshwater fish was somehow inferior to saltwater fish but they mislead you. My family has enjoyed everything from Snook to Yellow Perch and both girls prefer freshwater fish every time. I'm 50/50. But crappie, perch, sunfish and walleye DOES NOT take a back seat to snapper, grouper or dorado. Not a chance. And cichlids, tilapia and oscars are every bit as good as walleye and crappie. I could do a hogfish vs Mayan cichlid taste test for you and you'd struggle to pick a winner.

Another awesome episode. Singapore has similar problems with invasive fish species, the only difference is that our waterways regulatory department don't have such enlighten approach to the control of invasive species. We citizens will be charge in court for poaching if we are caught removing any fauna n Flora, even the invasive species. We are even not supposed to remove rocks or sand from the beaches. Pls do the ultimate trash fish taste test: the invasive armoured plated catfish, AKA plecos. Much appreciated K
