Florida's Most EXPENSIVE Fish... Catch Clean Cook (Florida Pompano)

Every year a fish know as pompano migrates down the Florida Coast from late fall until Early Spring. These fish can be found in massive schools along the beach and are often targeted by commercial fishermen for their high price tag. Florida pompano are one of the most expensive fish sold at fish markets. I spent the day with my buddy Adam from ‪@MovinWeightFishing‬ chasing these fish up and down the coast. We were using live and dead sand fleas as bait.

Love how real this channel still is. Owning the burning of the fish and still having a great time with it. Hope to be where you're at someday man, just turned 24 so happy birthday to both of us!

I started buying Pompano locally where i live in Trinidad upon viewing your channel. I can get them whole with no cleaning for about $1.50 /lb, but they are smaller than the ones you catch. And they are possibly the best tasting fresh fish i get locally. I like that it is very easy to clean and wastage is lower (its fine to do it with skin and even the bones, and have very little gut) than other fish - it fillets much easier than most other fish. Locals here dont really care for it and it isnt that common. Locals like King and Spanish Mackerel (Carite) more than any other fish. I sear them in a skillet mainly on the skin side with butter and lemons.

Where do u get it?

🇹🇹🤝🏿

[@wilmarkjohnatty4924]

@@p2tyler791 Do you live in Trinidad? Jody Bowlah fresh sea food, and Dinos - both around couva - ranging from 6 to 10$TT/lb, in the past two months. My daughter who never eats fish i typically make (King, Mahi etc) asks me for Pompano.

Happy Birthday Victor! My boyfriend and I watch you everyday! Love you and Brook! You both are so great at what you do! We learn so much from you both! Thank you for all your videos! Happy New Year🎉

[@thomaswinans7096]

Nice visit. Always good to hear and see folks respect the ocean and the animals it shares. Had my 32nd 32yrs ago. Your a good man Vic. Your good people from good,productive, respectful families. All the best Florida man !

[@blainemcbee2112]

You, Adam and Ryan all have the best videos. Y’all are killing it 🤘🏼

[@JosePerez-oy1zj]

Happy birthday buddy. I’m in the Midwest nowhere near an ocean. You are one of my favorite fishermen to watch. Thanks for sharing!!

[@hotlinepressurewashing3064]

The casting conundrum you mention about boat vs bank fishing has allowed me to walk up and catch fish where people have been getting skunked all day. They would be lobbing it as far as they could get it and I would bounce a mullet next to the dock and pick off flounder and drum right under them. I realized the same thing while fishing in my boat one day, “we’re always casting at docks, I’m gonna start just doing drops over the side when dock fishing” and it works!

[@PSSKDerby]

Great video Vik! Awesome looking meal. Happy birthday! Happy New Year! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@ryanpellick3575]

Happy birthday Vic! Don’t blame Brook for the grill!!!😂 We love watching both of your videos! Nice work!

Welcome to the married life and happy late bday my man! Just wanted to thank you for all of your vids! From binge watching all of your videos last year, you really re-sparked my love for offshore fishing and I’m stoked to say we have many trips planned this year and just happy to be back on the water after 10+ years 🙏🏽 looking forward to all of the vids in 2024 💪🏽

[@chrisfilippi]

Thank you Vik for another great vid. Pompano one of my favorite fish when I am on SW coast. Last March in Venice Restaurant Pompano $62 serving. I had the fresh Hogfish that night. Wish you and Brooke best for 2024

[@roberttanner7486]

I’m 66 and my youth pompano fishing was from the surf. Very seasonal at Fernandina Beach but always took shrimp but half the adventure was digging, scratching whatever the fresh sand fleas, remember this was long ago before the tape measure and count limits. I so remember my parents, the beach buggy and the adventure. Back then there were so many,,,,and they are delicious. Always fried or smoked, given to friends etc. memory flashback Vick, thanks

[@tearodriguez8184]

I’ve been watching you guys for about three years now and still look forward to your catches cooks and seeing the familia! Keep on keeping on! 💪🏾 🎏🎣🐠🐟

[@troyrockstardad]

I love watching when Adam is on your channel. I subscribe to both

[@fishonlinecanada]

That's why I love the ocean. You never know what you are going to catch. Its amazing how many different species of fish you have caught. Awesome job! Happy New Year!

[@Michael-cf9lf]

Great video as always.. Can you do a video on fishing Humboldt squid catch n cook

[@michaelcervantes9031]

Happy Birthday Victor! I'm not from the area and have learned so much from watching your channel. I hope I can turn those tips into success this year and I can't wait to try them. All the best in 2024!

[@colemant6845]

Love the way you SHOW the Fillet techniques... Filleting is an ART that most fisherman ruin.

[@samartidiello5858]

Great podcast, we really enjoyed watching your fishing technique as well your knowledge especially cooking the catch of the day. Kind regards, Sam.

[@cheflawandasstudio8130]

It's really good to see you back wishing you guys had a great wedding congratulations

Good to see you back on the boat with Adam. You boys looked cold. Happy Birthday young man

[@carlosgt7747]

Great video, Victor and team! One of the best fishing chanel in English I follow.

[@StanleyOrchard]

Man I can attest... we hit Pompano last weekend and it was six hours of nothing before we got slammed just after lunch. They are a binary bite for sure! Fun video sir, enjoyed it. Keep up the great work!

[@thomasthornton5737]

😀👍👍👍❤ Happy New Year Victor and Brook. Thank you both for all your fun videos to watch! Bye for now from Seattle, WA.

[@LizaGovan]

Happy Birthday Vic! Thanks for bringing such amazing content for us to enjoy. I absolutely adore these videos and find myself smiling along. The educational segments are golden. Chicken Rig, Floats to keep the bait suspended.... it's all such great content and I always learn so much. I'll be grilling some pompano in the future. Thanks for showing us how! PS: You and Brooke are a lovely couple!

[@blacklabel810]

The sea view is very beautiful, thank you boss Qu for sharing your experience, I really saw your video fishing mania, great...👍

[@timruffner6788]

Happy belated birthday, Victor! Pompano is my absolute favorite fish on the grill. I usually cook them whole after gutting. I'll slice the sides and press butter into the slices. Nothing better!

[@HoldMyFungus]

Happy Birthday Victor! Truly been a pleasure watching your content, hope 32 and this new year treat you well!

[@BubbaJet99]

As always...Great Vid! Happy Birthday and Tight Lines!

[@sethkrattiger2290]

Love the videos! Any good picture guides for Florida Keys fish? Headed back down in October to fish my face off!

[@glennshultz4103]

Great video Vic! And Happy Birthday! You certainly do look to be 32 years old. I will have to book a trip with Adam one day. And will be subscribing to his KZbin channel in a few minutes. Must say that I am surprised that you and Adam do not bleed out your pompano before filleting them. That simple procedure does improve that taste of the fish immensely. Out of curiosity, what do you use to sharpen your dexter knife? I have heard that they are hard to sharpen.

[@catalingabrieladam6065]

Happy birthday from United Kingdom Victor! Me &my wife we are in love with yours and Brooks videos! Happy fishing in 2024 , we are waiting for your videos guys keep doing the great job!

[@mikehatch1967]

Happy 32 years Vic. Don’t wait to long to have kids. The last one can be challenging when you are getting older much easier on a young couple. 32 is super young but if you have 4 kids and your hitting 40 when you have them you are 58 when they are 18 and it is worth it but a little harder

[@seahad4744]

Ive missed these videos. Congrats to you and Brookie on the wedding!!! How has the wind been for yall? It seems to be blowing none stop on the east coast

Oily fish cook faster because of the drippings, so keep the lid UP !!! The filets are still good !!! Oh and Happy Birthday VIK !!!!🎂🎉🎊

[@mariakevelier8069]

I always like your video, just wanted to know when is the best time of the year to catch pompanos between Miami Beach and Dania Beach, I got conflicting information from different sources.

[@rjt2167]

Here In Hawaii we call bonefish "Oi'o", and it's a sport fish sought after for eating. The mushy meat is scraped from the bone and is made into a paste and eventually cooked and made into Chinese style or Japanese style fish cake. We even make this raw Hawaiian dish called Lomi Oi'o, by spooning the meat into a bowl and mixing it with green onions, Hawaiian rock salt, Hawaiian chili pepper, roasted Kukui nut, and this difficult and hard to come by strong tasting seaweed called Limu Kohu. Bonefish is something you learn to eat during your childhood and is something not palatable for those who did not grow up here. They are a very wary fish on the flats when going for them on a fly rod but the Bones are big here on Oahu, HI. Some averaging 7 to 10 pounds.

Oh my. Second comment. Happy birthday Vick! 32, geez. So much of the outdoors and the ocean to look forward too.

[@saenole66]

A great way to cook pompano is to gut it, take out eyeballs, stuff cavity with your favorite crab stuffing and bake. The meat over the eyeball sockets is prime. Happy Birthday from Victor to Viktor.

Hey Victor, I'm new to the channel and to salt water fishing. Here's my question: I'm right handed so I've always reeled in with my left hand. But I see you do both. Is there a preference?

[@carolinacoins]

Happy Birthday young man. Your grilled pompano smells sooooo good. lol Thanks for sharing with us.

[@sturutherford697]

Victor, want to go fishing at macdill AFB FL? Fresh, salt and brackish all within walking distance. Pretty awesome place for fishing and crabbing.

[@clifbradley]

The only time I liked catching ladyfish was when I was working a commercial fishing yacht and we used them as bait. Ironically, when we would try to catch trout, we would catch ladyfish 2 to 1. Sometimes 3 to 1. Then when we would fish for ladyfish, we would trout, redfish and snook. Grunts, ladyfish, pinfish amd croakers were great bait for marlin, tuna, swordfish, snapper and groupers.
