Good fishing shakedown. Every boat fishes differently and it looks like you are riding a winner.

[@SFROutdoors]

Bucket over the head method works wonders on boats that done have raw water pumps, love it!

[@g-townfishing6167]

Smoke that king. Once I learned how good that is, I haven’t cooked it any other way. Congrats and cheers.

[@Phelpsie06]

I was literally about to ask how did/do you cook the king. Oily fish best smoked? Can you link a recipe to try? I’ve never smoked any personally. Thx!

[@g-townfishing6167]

@@Phelpsie06 How I do it is, I cut the fillets off the king fish leaving the skin. Cut each fillet into 1/3rds. Depending on size about 8”-12” each. Soak in a salt water, brown sugar brine in the fridge skin side up. The fillets should float. If not, add more salt. About a cup of salt should do and a cup of brown sugar should do. Let sit for 24-36 hours in the fridge. Take out and pat dry. Add some seasonings of your choice to the meat side of fillet. Take 2-3 sticks of butter, A cup of brown sugar and honey and put all into a pan on the stove. Bring to a boil and let it caramelize just a little and then take and pour on flesh of fillet when you start to smoke. Smoke with apple wood for about 1.5 to 2 hours at 225*. Maybe less maybe more so you will need to watch. With all that said. This will be the very best king fish you will ever have. I planned on making it into a dip. But the fillet turned out so good we ate it as a meal. Don’t be afraid to hit me up with any questions.

NICE! Great hearing Chef Val speaking Spanish to the tuna. Do you eat the bonita?

[@notimebusy8384]

Sick man congrats...just moved to FTL myself and got to get my small boat out of the Keys and my big tuna boat down from RI. Got to start learning the waters down here this year. See you out there!

[@davidgalloway904]

Nice Capt Mike. Good to see you back out there! Just waiting for an invite...on a calm water day!! Tight Lines!

[@painterpainting7056]

THUMBS UP CAPTAIN MIKE!!!!

[@alexruano79]

Congrats captain Mike for your dream boat finally in action, I'm pretty sure more great fishing videos are in the way. Un saludo muy respetuoso para tu esposa que te acompaño en esta aventura de pezca.

[@mclark2330]

Good to see you back on the water man and I agree, you’ll be singing a little different tune in July about the top 😂. Tight lines brother!!!

[@g-townfishing6167]

There’s that Tuna I saw on Instagram. 👍

[@FloridaFishingCouple]

Congratulations on the new boat and getting back out on the water! You might try slow pitch jigging over some structure on those slow or no current days. Gotta work with what you got! Congrats again. - Capt Dan

[@UrbanFisherman]

Nice job captain 👍🏾

[@jimmydamico50]

Great seeing you out on the water the day you filmed this Mike! - Jimmy from NY

[@TheTarponmike1]

Congrats on breaking in the new boat! When you do the slow troll kicking in and out of gear, how far back is the bait from the boat?

[@AndyEmerson8]

Great seeing you catching fish on your own boat again Mike. Cheers!

[@josephmuscat9764]

Hello is that a Penn Slammer lV 10500 ? You have a wonderful boat.Thanks for your vid

[@skullhart]

Having the front open without forward seating is the only way to go. So much more useable space.

[@ReelReports]

💯

why you no bleed the king?

Way to break in the boat!👍 under tough conditions you got it done.... can’t wait until the end of April when the big blackfins show up!..👌💪🏼

[@pakde8002]

¿es un atún? Si es un atún!

[@SRQboatingfishing]

Well done!

[@smileyh888]

Why don’t you use trolling motors? It might be a good option for slow trolling, also handy for spot lock instead of anchoring.

[@mikemelina7395]

Great to have it out on the water. When's the T-top coming?

[@knightclan4]

Great intro mate

[@seabelle35sc98]

Great video, congrats on the new boat.

[@miffyleslie]

Awesome video of the first fist on the new boat!! All that money spent on insulated fish boxes and you put fish in a fish bag??? Any ways glad to see you out in the new boat!!

[@polishchachafishing]

Mike is a trend setter with the glasses strap fwd. and center!🤣

[@championcharters1409]

I thought the same thing haha

[@richardvila1173]

Nice to see you on your new boat again, your good luck is your beautiful lady. That's why fish are coming to you lol! Stay safe.

[@royleeborn6445]

Best of luck to you. Awesome adventures for Life!

[@hypraktiv]

I want to be like you when I grow up. Sick boat. Great content.

[@anthonykubis5575]

I thought you were going to put a tower on your new boat? That was a really nice black fin you hooked..

[@befmx31]

11:53, when the video gets a little....ho hum, throw in the shot of the hot girl. Thanks!

[@flaviaposleman]

What is the bait fish called

[@championcharters1409]

Nice work Capt

[@michaelgoodman5247]

Why do you use the bag for your keepers vs using the fish box? Just curious.

[@ReelReports]

Easier to transport and keeps the fish box clean for storage.

[@Evan721sxm]

great camera work. im thinking of having a boat built myself. is it worth it? how happy are you now that its done? looks like you are pleased with how it came out

[@ReelReports]

Depends. Do you want a semi-custom boat built to your specs or can you work with just about anything? I got this boat about 90% how I planned it and very happy so far.

[@Evan721sxm]

@@ReelReports looking at a horizon 3000 from eastward. Seems like they can do whatever. I went and took it out for a trial and visited their site....its exactly what I wanted

[@cobaelpescador]

Let see what mother nature has to offer today, love that Capt David c.

[@ryanbraccialini888]

Captain Mike love the boat watched the whole build. I want one lol. Where's all the fishing content now is the fishing just slow right now. And you also promised us a overview of the boat and were going to let us know if you kept it under 100k. I don't think you did lol. Tight lines Cap.

[@ReelReports]

I'll have to total up all the invoices, but it is very close.

[@ibrahimafzal7048]

Are you just running a handheld vhf ?

[@hnt4fsh]

From a fishing stand point I like topless for sure but when your wife has to dump buckets of water on her head to cool off in my house that means we buying a top😎

[@teremoanapatitifa9692]

Congrats and cheer fro Tahiti fisherman

[@Rico11b]

No two ways about it. That boat screams for a T-top. Just get one that bolts to the console and not the deck. Unless you have a deck plate or backing plate installed for the the feet of the T-top to thru-bolt into.

[@larryjohnson5597]

Bubba if you’re not putting a top on the boat put gunnel mount outriggers on it

[@ReelReports]

I like your style

[@gregnowling3128]

When you getting a T top ?

Fishing is too good to go back to shop for a few weeks.

What is the top speed of your boat? what is the GPH? what is the cruising speed and GPH?

[@ReelReports]

I believe we saw 53mph so far.

[@arielmatinez]

Anyone knows where to catch livebait in key largo?

[@reelcs]

If it’s still allowed in Rodriguez key. Also while fishing reef at night you can catch them, big ones.

[@arielmatinez]

@@reelcs hi! thx for the tip! At Rodriguez is there a place to zibiki them? Or do you drive around until you find them and net them? Also what time works best?

[@SuperGrocho]

Why do you let the fish suffocate and don't kill it, before you put it on ice?? 😳👎
