*MASSIVE* ALLIGATOR caught on Rod and Reel! Catch Clean and Cook!

The StanzFam heads to Lake Okeechobee to participate in a 2020 Gator Hunt. Our friend Jackie had a couple tags from the State's Alligator Hunting Program so we joined up with her, BlueGabe and Brad from G3 Outfitters. Only 7000 permits are given out each year, consisting of 2 tags for each permit, and you can hunt in a specific zone if you are drawn in the lottery system. FWC estimates the population is 1.3 million alligators in the State of Florida, so it's really just a small percentage that will be harvested recreationally in the season. Anyhow after playing a couple jokes on each other we find a few alligators and set our baits out. All of a sudden the opposite direction a giant alligator surfaces and Brad makes an unbelievable cast and hooks this giant! It's a group effort with everyone involved but you'll have to watch the video to see what happens!

that was epic! unless you've killed a PILE of big gators, it would be hard to understand how perfectly that went!!! pretty work y'all!!!

[@dildo_ass_baggins9186]

Robert you're the OG of the KZbin fishing/outdoor channels. Your hard work paved the way for other channels like Nick's and your brother BlueGabe and many others. Thank you for producing good content each week and teaching ppl how to catch fish offshore/inshore. I wish I could be able to experience one day fishing offshore like in your videos as I've never been. You're living the dream man.

Thanks @deermeatfordinner! Trip to remember for sure!

I was with deermeatfordinner when we got the 13'2" gator in Kissimmee Fl. Great job guys. Congratulations on that gator

Two of my favorite 4 youtubers commenting and in the same video. Stanzfam, Bluegabe, KellyYoung, and DearmeatforDinner. Love this you guys are the best

[@1bigblacktrucker]

Big THANKS to Stan and Bean. These guys took time to greet me and my daughter while visiting Key Largo yesterday. I never expected Stan or Bean to be so down-to-earth, but I appreciated both of them being exceptional people.

[@colincampbell290]

Sasy Sarah will never disappoint you when she hunting or fishing or running her family. She and Nick perfectly suited both gogetters.

[@bobbysalmon1915]

Nick, thanks for this awesome video! Really enjoyed the collaboration with Gabe, Brad, and Jackie. I love the way you and Sarah interact with all of them. Also, not sure why so many feel that it is their duty to be critical of the quality of the video. Sometimes technology just doesn't work out as it should but that must just be beyond their comprehension. Keep up the good work and looking forward to seeing Sadie's little sister!!

Thanks Bobby! Really appreciate the comment and you being part of the channel

[@jeremyhelser2959]

Stan that was roothless with the popsicle sticks!!! I love it hahaha but seriously need to know the dirt on this popsicle story forreal u better tell him we need a video and full disclosure

[@kirkpierce3089]

Another awesome video....If y’all cook gator again, there’s a couple extra preparation step you can take that will make a world of difference in the taste and texture of the alligator meat. When preparing the meat cut off absolutely every peace of fat that you can. Also cut off all silver skin. Then tenderize with the meat using whatever method you choose; I like a tenderizing hammer. Once the meat is tenderized, marinate it in hole milk or butter milk four a few hours. Then remove drain off excess marinate and batter favorite way for frying. This truly makes a world of difference. I’m a resident of extreme southeastern Louisiana and have cooked lots of gator meat in my 52 years. Hope this helps for your next fry.

[@StanzFam]

Thanks! Vic mentioned soaking in butter milk but it was a timing issue with cooking it. Most of it was good since it went through the cuber but I’ll definitely trim the silver skin and fat off even more next time. And maybe tenderize part of it. Thanks 👊🏻👊🏻

[@cruhl888]

Came all the way from BlueGabe!

[@amandasummerville5411]

Two gator pros going at it. It's always exciting to go gator hunting with these guys because they always catch a gator and we get to watch Nick has found a new passion I think. Not many gators in the Keys so they're on Lake Okeechobee.

But I do love to eat food you can catch and grow...so I’m very curious and would love to taste...🤙🏽 great video Nick!!🤙🏽

Nick, cut it thinner. Won't be as chewy for sure. If you make chunks, depending on how long you cook it, it may dry out as well. Sliced thin and fried or a sauce piquant best way to have it!

FYI my grandpa taught me to use a bass hook and bobber to catch gators yall should try that on your next hunt gators love chasing top water lures

[@Nick-bh5bk]

I haven’t had gator in a long time. When I was young I remember trying some tail meat that was deep fired. Tastes like chicken with the consistency of shrimp is how I recall it. Throw in some tartar sauce. :-)
