BIG Mutton Snapper Florida Keys Reef Fishing - [Catch Clean Cook]

Mutton Snapper recipe:
www.askchefdennis.com/make-ca...
Today we take the bay boat out to the reef in hopes of catching big mutton snapper. Despite our troubles first thing in the morning we eventually were able to make it out to the Reefs edge in order to catch live ballyhoo to drop down to the bottom as live bait. In our first five minutes of fishing we quickly double up on two big mutton snapper. There after we go through tips techniques and how tos’ on how to catch mutton snapper. We also go over rigs how to hook baits and basically X Y & Z based on how to go out to the reef and be successful mutton snapper fishing in the Florida Keys. There after we head home to do a clean and cook to show you our delicious Cajun salsa mutton snapper recipe. Enjoy!

[@LifeByTheBow]

Thanks so much!

[@davidosband862]

A brilliant video! Please don't bother listening to those who may poo-poo the Spider Hitch; a Bimini is just a Spider Hitch that knows somebody. Been using the Spider Hitch with various leader knots for 40+ years. Spider Hitch is quicker, easier, I can tie them in the dark, on the beach, on a pier, or anytime with a beer! A Bimini has it's place, wherever that is... Thank you Miss Stephanie for the recipe - worthy of your usual excellence. Best to you both. p.s. I have used Biminis for really LARGE target fish but that's all....very much looking forward to viewing more of your productions.

[@LifeByTheBow]

Thanks David!

[@frankhemmen9551]

Have you ever looked into cooking the "Collars" or "Snapper Wings"? There is a ton of very flavorful meat in the belly and throat with the pectoral fins in the middle. This gives the equivalent of a 5th filet and it is completely different flavor and texture.

[@richardwilliams3839]

Snapper looks good for roast fry and some good good fish head soup

[@LifeByTheBow]

Oh yeah!

[@alexanderferrer3001]

Just happened upon your videos, been watching key west kayak fishing for cpl years so maybe that’s how you popped up. Dude love your videos! Your fiancé is so Sweet, not to forget Gorgeous, you’re a Lucky Guy!!! Stay safe nd have a Great life together!! I’ll be watching nd enjoying your videos!! Will check out your clothing line too!!!

That’s one great sounding recipe! I’ll be trying that one. When do the Avail shirts with a hood come out?

[@LifeByTheBow]

Thanks for watching Matt and right before Christmas.. Keep an eye out!

[@chicagomuziek1376]

Hey Clay, those are some beautiful video’s that you make. Trying to convince my wife to ditch Chicago and move south for warmer weather. Would it be possible to include an approximate position on the different fishing spots, just to have an idea of how far offshore you are, or how far north/south from The keys? I can’t tell if you’re fishing on the Atlantic side, or in the Gulf, maybe you do both depending on where the wind comes from, to get some protection. Thanks, enjoying all the tips you’re giving out, both on boating and fishing and cooking.

[@johnbrannon7043]

awsome video, lm starving now, quess i should subscribe

[@gregmaxey7671]

Can you maybe elaborate on line prep, bait decisions, or just overall fishing day prep. Would love to know all that goes into getting ready to get on the water.

[@LifeByTheBow]

We will try moving forward thanks Greg!

[@ljdag5371]

She has a great personality, just makes me laugh all the time.

[@LifeByTheBow]

Agreed! She's a special girl.

[@masonclapper2347]

Could you start weighing and measuring the fish at the end? Just interested to know how big they are

[@scottsevern5352]

What do you guys prefer, cooking in a frying Pan/oven or cooking over the grill?

[@DaniaBeachPirate]

Did you run the trolling motor or drop anchor to stay in the same spot?

[@yours2treasure]

GREAT video.......having trouble finding the recipe??

[@hckeypunk13]

Rather than a snap swivel for your weight, use a long line clip. Much easier/quicker to rip off.

[@kevingreene6945]

Hey great videos do you offer charters?

[@LifeByTheBow]

Hey Kevin thanks for watching! We do not but appreciate you asking 👍🏼

[@julienrobins4121]

I didn't see any rust on Stephanie ! So Clay what fillet knife do you use ? Your technique makes it look easy but a super sharp knife helps too.

[@LifeByTheBow]

Of course and I believe it’s called a barracuda knife I’m not sure I’m sorry I will try to mention it in a later video 👍🏼

Your Pathfinder boat looks pretty new, is it normal to lose both your livewell pump and your trolling motor in one outing?

[@LifeByTheBow]

Not normal to my standards.. but normal for a production boat unfortunately.. thanks for watching!

That hole fish deep fried will be awesome.. don't filet every fish. the best way is the hole fish grill or fried. give it a try

[@LifeByTheBow]

Might have to try this!

Have you tried using ballon clips for attaching the weight?

[@LifeByTheBow]

Cant say I have sounds like a potentially good idea.
