Giant Fish Are Dying. They Don't Have To (Catch, Clean & Cook Grouper)

Myself and an awesome crew of anglers head 80 miles into the Gulf of Mexico to target some giant fish! On this trip we learned some techniques that can prevent the wasteful dying of released fish. Panama City Beach has this incredible bottom fishing with tons of delicious species, and we want this fishery to stay healthy for as long as possible. Be sure to stick around for the whole fishing video which includes and awesome catch, clean, and cook!
In this video you can find my awesome friends @FishAholicTV and @SeeYaDude be sure to watch their videos from this day as well!

This was such a fun day with an epic crew! I hope you all enjoy it 🍻

[@user-uo1pk8js8m]

Great job on the video John! I love your show! It's very interesting and fun to watch. Lord Jesus bless you and your family!!!

[@ramrodrymensnyder2648]

First ive heard about returnemright, that is REALLY COOL. Props to them for making it happen, great resource.

[@HighBanker]

I swear like a trucker but wanted to say it was nice you guys cleaned up the video. Truly Nice to see young family's can view your channel there are a lot young girls boys learning to fish. So you have serious Respect from me on making your video family friendly ... By the way you have no idea how lucky you are to fish the way you do. Thank you for the video. Sean Vancouver bc Canada 🇨🇦

[@christinatroxle]

My favorite part of this video was seeing the delicious looking dessert at the end. That chef must be amazing!

[@RyanMorie]

That chef is definitely something special!

[@dominicmoots9818]

What an awesome trip. I like watch your videos. You are so humble and everyone has fun.

[@ALLTHINGSSRVETHEBEAM]

19:32 Best example of a bait being flat annihilated “on the fall” that I’ve seen in a long time. Anyone want to know what that feels like, watch this part. Bro your content continues to stun.

[@ToDaHale]

Yeeeeeee another great video. I think it’s the way you’re able to narrate and talk to us and at the same time fish. You’re always able to make us feel like we’re right there with you on your trips! Greatly appreciated 🤙🏽

[@billrobbins5874]

Beautiful fish you all caught. So sad the shark got the grouper. 👍👍👍👍

[@pathua7692]

Ever since I learned about barotrauma, I’ve always vented the bloated fish that I didn’t intend to keep. I also tried to raise awareness as much as possible! Thank you so much for introducing us Return Em Right, amazing mission❤❤❤

Get a descending device. It's much better than piercing a fish

Love the vids Ryan. Been watching since before Japan. I like the first person set up instead of you getting filmed strictly like how landshark does now. Also sick Hanapa’a shirt, I have so many of those shirts since I’m a Hawaii fisherman haha

Ryan that was an awesome video. I would have liked to have seen that gag whole. Everything, the video, the editing and sound was really great. The cook looked delicious . I’m just a little envious at all the types of fish you get to eat. Scamp is one of my favorite fish. Well done sir! Stay safe out there brother!

[@CantWaitOutdoors]

Really great content. Enjoyed every minute! Gained another subscriber!

[@ebglock]

Actually turned out better than most other I have seen on KZbin. I think sanding with orbital sander is the reason. I would then bake at high temp then season several times. Think it would really work good.

[@codfishing]

I know where you got ur seasoning combo for fish and lemme say once I tried it that way for pan searing.. I don’t think I’ll season it any other way for mild white fish cuz it’s so delicious

[@aaronwhite8832]

This is my first time watching this channel. Pretty cool. Good job. Question. Can you keep an out of season fish if it gets shared. Like that large Grouper head.

[@RyanMorie]

Unfortunately you cannot.

[@brianfraker3407]

Ryan, I’m going to be honest. I’ve just been in Europe for 2 weeks, so I’m behind on YT. Then I see one from you and I’m like ‘shit, I gotta watch the whole thing’.

@@RyanMorie is cool how your videos have remained very cathartic thru the years, most people cut off the failures. Little they know that those events are what makes the video genuine and not all battles are won when you fish. Stay golden Ryan Morie✌🏻

What happens if it gets sharked on the way down😂 but good video

[@jaadmaan8156]

They do! And the dolphins get them too…

[@returnemright]

Although it's possible, it's quite rare. We were moving around all day fighting off sharks but didn't have any touched on the way down. The struggling, fighting fish is what attracts predators and fish aren't typically struggling upon descent. We put a gopro down with most of our drops and have never lost one.

[@merrick-cw1sw]

[@billa6539]

[@joshuabehnke6287]

would you step up to a two speed lever drag reel? i found that keeping it in low gear helps get big gags off the bottom quicker vs pure tug o war but after that putting it back in hi gear and real as fast as possible to get away from sharks, however, if that shark is motivated enough nothing you can really do.

[@RyanMorie]

Maybe a two speed could help, but honestly I agree with your last statement. Going against a Motivated shark you’ll lose 100% of the time

[@endgamefishing1558]

Hey Ryan, I thought I saw some military coins in the background, did you serve?

[@RyanMorie]

So yeah, I did serve! 4 years as an officer in the USMC. Got out in July 2021 which is when I started KZbin full time. Those coins in the background were actually my roommates, they’re all firefighter challenge coins.

[@RyanMorie]

Filming in SLog and it was mega-underexposed. Needed more color grading than I was willing to give it

[@PhantomWoIf]

olive oil becomes toxic when heated up much. better is to add the olive oil _after_ heating. there is usually parasites in fish, always heat the fish and the cooking untensil needs to be washed at highest temperature for a longer time in the dishwasher. is there any tuna in that sea ? i wonder

WHY 80 MILES

Because in most places in the gulf, less than 40 is a waste of time. Stuff just gets sharked or is small

[@howardedwards5908]

If a shark bit my fish in half like that whether it's season or not I'd take the rest home instead of throwing it back it's dead anyway n you can clearly see the shark bite

[@jaadmaan8156]

That’s not how it works unfortunatly. You’d be looking at a lot of fines and lose your fishing license. I get checked about 50% of the time in florida by FWC. Even if the fish is in season and would have been over the size minimum. If the fish is sharked and the remaining length is less than the minimum you still get fined. And it’s good that they do! People would be faking shark bitten fish all the time
