SAVAGE Surf Perch Fishing CATCH AND COOK On The Beach - FIRE ROASTED Redtail Surfperch

[@Steve-zu3be]

I always enjoy your videos. Been fishing surfperch for years here in Southern Oregon, and learned a nifty trick I would like to share. If you clip the gills and bleed out your fish while it is still alive, the quality of the flesh is way better when cooking. The texture of the meat is firm rather than soft and the flavor is also improved. The downside is that this procedure can be a bit messy...the bloodstains are difficult if not impossible to remove from clothing.

[@equinsuocha1213]

100% dude, I bleed every fish I catch, I even bleed bluegill and trout lol. Less fishy, cleaner, firmer better meat for sure.

[@nehpetsrellek2699]

Salmon also must be bled out. I hear people degrade the taste of Flat Head, (Yellow Cat) and it's because they don't bleed the fish while alive.

[@chrisnystrom8466]

Freakin' loved your caveman approach. You knocked it outta the park. Thanks for sharing a great time with us.

[@shannonspriggs5760]

My wife LOVED watching you barbarianize that surf perch. Now, she wants to get rid of our camping dishes, since we DON'T NEED THEM!!!😄

[@TheTwitchyLee]

A little blood to appease the fishing gods is never a bad thing. Another great video, nice work.

[@EricSNeitzel]

Dude, I'm rewatching these now. You have motivated me to head out there from N Arizona to drown some Gulps and camp along the way. Thank you!

[@jordangillespie5968]

You roasted that like a champion i couldn't imagine the determination it took to hold the fish over the fire for that long lol

[@josematehuala9835]

Okuma is the people’s ! Brand I just love how affordable they are with all the quality a fisherman can ask for ! Killed it on the video bro . The fish envy I get from watching your videos ! Gets me off my ass and out on the water !

[@andyl8532]

Nice fish. I finally caught my first Sandy river steelhead yesterday. Big bright native hen.

[@StorageAuctionSnipers]

Hey 'Caveman' 🤣🤣 You just gave a whole new definition to the term "fish stick". I'm lovin' your surf perchin' videos. Might try Wade Creek just south of Beverly Beach. That's my favorite spot. It's a short shot to the jetties in Newport. Kill two birds with one stone.

[@ethanjohnston1924]

Hey man, I saw the Dutch in your cupholder. I work and fish down in Coos Bay (about and hour or so south of Newport) and if you ever come down I'll hook you up on your drink!

[@fishndumb2652]

How’s I miss this. Video was epic!

[@housethegrate6093]

Crushing it with the videos lately bro.

[@cabinconn5480]

Love the videos. I always have in a 1 gallon zip lock bag ,smaller sandwich zips of kosher salt, white pepper,garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme on the stems, Chile powder, and some fresh ground cumin. And 2 lemons. Olive oil and if my wife is with me a stick of butter. Honestly I stick with garlic, salt, pepper, paprika and a wedge of lemon when I’m hungry and in a hurry. Lemon juice is the most important in my opinion.

[@rexplorer.official]

Love catch and cook videos

[@ThaxorSmash]

I usually dislike the catch and cook format but this was a great video. Loving your videos of late.

[@robertmcallister4560]

Love the caveman style! Great fun episode.

[@samkarkiainen1090]

I really enjoy your content. I live in Idaho now and miss the salt, but you bring it home for me. Thanks.

[@benh5774]

Totally love the savageness.

[@fr.billbaker6319]

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Exploer8591]

Great video, Nick! As always. ❤

[@CristianopescadorR]

This truly is enjoying life. Blessings friend

[@markcrawford2896]

Lovin it man… great stuff 🤘🤘

[@paulschmidt1247]

Surf perch is a damn fine meal.

[@martinhill4828]

My God that made me hungry for perch. Have not had any yet. I did buy a new Okuma SST 9'9" 15-40 lb. And an Okuma Ignite iT 80A reel to go with it. Spooled it with 30 lb SpiderWire braid. Can't wait to try it out.

[@timkeagy4094]

Hey there Nick. You can make a fire on the beach there? Nice I really enjoyed this video. Nice big surf perch. Tight lines.

[@WhoopWhoop419]

Love the videos man, I need more of this!

[@WorkingClassFishingPodcast]

Good stuff as always!

[@markroth9827]

Thank you for your video.

[@joelcox3154]

Got skunked fishing for trout earlier today now I wish I would have gone to the beach!

[@ricks2907]

I would modernize add a one foot square piece of expanded iron for a grill. It’s a new day. Plus napkins. Lol. Ricky 🕺🏼💃🎶🐈‍⬛🎸🍷🇺🇸

[@krslcsn]

Ever tried eating perch without condiments or seasoning? Pretty darn good, imo. I bake it whole until crispy. I also like to eat the head, fins, and tail.

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

Never done it totally plain. Gonna have to try though. Planning on a 3 day video living on the beach with hardly anything. Gonna have to catch and forage everything.

[@JigginwithG]

Just was there yesterday! Slayed em, Hell yea man 🐟🎣🌊 always do better with clam that’s for sure lol! how has a bird not got your fish yet, they steal everything!? Ps carry a bait puck for your clams my guy 🤣

[@Rokynutz]

You and i share the same wound from the same damn implement. One exception thought, mine was done by the little backpacker hatchet. I think the handle is maybe 8". Yeah, bored 14 year old out camping...what could go wrong? Haha.

[@kirkhustle3718]

Radical! I'll be heading out that way in the next couple of weeks for perch fishing and great day. Besides perch, are there any other species off the sand to go for?

[@gladiatorcrabsnares8030]

Quality fish. I’m still trying to get some Red tail. Mostly barred down here.

[@kenwestern2821]

Great videos, bud. Thank ya. What weight is your sinker? New to this surf fishing and just trying to get it figured out. Thanks brother...best days ahead!

[@thibo703]

3-5oz works well for most surf rods. You have to adjust based on how much the surf is throwing your rig around, how stiff your rod is and how far you need to cast. Hence him pointing out the ability to swap out your weight at the beginning. Start smaller and go up. I use a 1oz egg slider on a light rod with a fish finder rig, or a 4 oz on a medium sized surf rod with a high low rig. Today the hi low rig worked best.

[@F-N-C]

NICE!!!!!!!!!! You ever try the Florence area?

[@relaxingfeeling5503]

Hey you. Yes you, random person that I will never meet. I truly hope that you will find happiness in life. Today is going to be a great day! ❤

[@Anotherdude0]

Clams for bait? I love surf perch fishing but always seem to catch the little ones with the gulp sand worms. Hate using sandshimp too, they are too fragile. Great work catching fish and hope you can still cast with that thumb!

[@steveocallaghan1620]

about how deep is the water where you are standing when you fish on the beach?

[@Dylangreat123]

This sunset beach?

[@Pdttdp]

Great show you savage:) North coast again?

[@jamesgriffin7711]

Been watching your channel for a while now. I like it. I'm just curious why you use such a big heavy outfit for surf perch. Seems like you miss out on the fight. Just asking.

[@iraclements3671]

Me and my brother would bring some butter and a cast iron pan to the beach and eat red tail fillets fresh from the surf.

[@jamesrey4275]

Hot Chow !

[@debatebore1057]

I drive on this beach all the time and just have to get out there fishing. Anyone recommend some reasonably-priced waders to help?

[@cbpunk]

BiMart usually has hip waders for around $70. If you do get hip waders just don't clip them to your belt, if they fill with water you could be in trouble.

[@wayneclarke1727]

Think about it

[@magnumbarsukoff8977]

I'm going to guess that okuma sponsored this video

[@kirkcarlson7029]

Anyone know if this is Sunset Beach?

[@OldZLand]

Looks like it based on the beach entrance footage at the very start of the vid. Love that stretch

[@kirkcarlson7029]

@@OldZLand Vacationed there a few years ago before knowing about surf perch. Planning another trip there and will be giving it a shot!

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

It’s sunset beach.. I’m looking forward to getting back out there. That whole north coast area is pretty good fishing…. Most of the time

[@kirkcarlson7029]

Awesome. I'm from Idaho and have stayed on Warrenton, walking distance to this area. Like others, before I knew about surf perch. Will be bringing a rod and tackle next time! 🤜🤛

[@ARCSTREAMS]

a man who knows how to take care of himself, fishin, makin fire and cookin, that's all you need ,,great vid bud, but perhaps the fish is a bit undercooked? get yourself an adjustable grate to cook over the fire with ease

[@AnglingAddictsPNW]

lol ya the fish was a bit undercooked but still tasty nonetheless. I have all kinds of gear for cooking but wasn't interested in the work or cleaning up afterwords. A fish, a fire, and a stick were good enough for this trip. You probably won't see me cook it this way again though haha. Thanks for the feedback and for watching

[@ARCSTREAMS]

@@AnglingAddictsPNW yup all good

[@petergajic7591]

Only thing missing is a IPA

[@Paulpoission]

Eh, you don’t need a thumb to catch surf perch

[@wayneclarke1727]

Well, we all have our dumbass moments .. a little blood is a sacrifice for what you took from the Sea. Plain and simple
