3 Days Fishing for EVERY Fish in the PHILIPPINES!!

[@tomnorman2668]

Grew up in the Philippines in the 1960s as my Dad was in the US Air Force. Nice that you got to visit and fish. Eat some lumpia for me.

[@southernsalt]

Awesome! You bet brother!!

[@di_spenser]

Hahahahahhaha

[@noypijr.1028]

First time to watch fishing vlog.. So cool to watch and eat their catch.🎉

[@noypijr.1028]

​@@southernsaltSo handsome dad. LOL😂

[@aljebell]

This made my day. I had a house built about 2 years ago in Biliran and plan on retiring in the Philippines in a couple more years and do a lot of offshore fishing. I don't know what tomorrow may bring but that's my plan today.

[@southernsalt]

Man that sounds like a heck of a plan, good luck brother!!

[@linagervacio392]

@aljebell I pray your plan works out. 🙏😊 God bless.

[@pihermoso11]

Where in Biliran? I've been to Biliran in Mapuyo, the town after Kawayan, I've been to a lot of beaches specifically in Leyte and Cebu but the best beach ever was in Mapuyo Biliran, it had no cottages, undeveloped and the seafloor was made of stones, the water was super clear and the beach was a rocky place, I always wonder how it looks now, I went there way back in the 90s , I'm currently in Cebu and the beaches here are nice, but that one secret beach in Biliran is still number 1 in my heart

[@jaylawrencepentado100]

I'm from Almeria, Biliran, maybe I can help since I'm friends/relatives with some of the fisher folk from the nearby beach there

[@efrendobleo9677]

Glad you did go to the Philippines and had a great time catching all kinds of species of fish! Welcome to the Philippines! Now living in Florida. Take care, I had a great time watching your video.

[@southernsalt]

Thank you, I enjoyed it!!

Well. Thanks for adding a new item to my bucket list. That look so much fun.

It’s the way they cook the Bonita in the Philippines. I use to live their Nate. I caught a Bonita here in Jacksonville. My wife is from the P.I. She prepared it and it was incredible. Bleed them out!

Awesome!!

[@JoseBautista-lt5qh]

Nate amazing adventure you had - I visited the Philippines when I was in the military and I still remember that deep blue calm water - I didn’t fish and almost scuba dived but the thought of diving in deep waters was just as uncomfortable as you attempting to eat that Bonita soup - never heard of Dubai fishing but have heard a lot about Costa Rica fishing-tight lines- respectfully PuraSal Angler 🙌🏻

[@southernsalt]

Thank you brother, that soup was a hard pass lol! It’s looking like Costa Rica is next

[@mad-loki3180]

Pampano and “Lapu-lapu” or the grouper fish are my favorites! They are very tasty. I hope you could catch Dorado as well.

[@southernsalt]

Dorado would be pretty cool!!

[@bensoy5882]

I grew up in Philippines and now here in Florida loving fishing, man I can’t wait to fish back home, thank you sir and I enjoy your videos, subscribed.

[@mikeepogeeee]

The joy in your eyes is priceless. Bro this is my dream when i retire. Just fishing everyday in the middle of the ocean. Except of course when the weather won't allow it. LOL. pretty soon. pretty soon. Cant wait.

Man, that’s a good fishing trip in the Philippines. Friendly people with great food and vibes.

[@southernsalt]

[@vishky4907]

I think its called tulingan? And i google it says that Tulingan is a type of bonito fish that is high in omega-3 and acids. It has a deeply forked tail, vertical stripes on its back, and a small, velvety scale. Tulingan is commonly found in tropical and temperate seas, where it swims in schools across the ocean. You really do have to bleed them first best way is to cut out one gill and let them swim in the bait tank. Pumps the blood out and lightens the flesh considerably.

[@boomzgamingph]

Thats skipjack tuna. Best choice for a tuna because of its low mercury levels compared to Yellowfin and Albacore.

[@artvictor5044]

Congratulation Sir, fish on!!! 🎣🐟🎣🐠🎣🐟you caught amazing fishes in our country's sea in Palawan. Thank you in visiting our country and hoping you will visit again!😊😊😊❤❤❤👍👍👍

Thank you 🙏

[@samuelhendrick700]

Loved fishing while there. would like to go back for strictly jigging. Any tips on your charter and transporting your rods/gear

[@southernsalt]

The charter provided all of the gear. All I had to do was show up and fish! Highly recommend booking a trip with Palawan Fishing Buddy, amazing experience!!

thanks for coming to the Philippines sir, specialy in Palawan. If it's possible maybe fish somewhere in small Pacific nation too. tnx

[@southernsalt]

I will definitely look into that one thank you!!

[@sumotiko]

I know the feeling of catching fish that you have not "unlocked" and it is pure joy and excitement. Amazing catch, hoping to do the same in the Philippines. May I know the brand and model of that rod? That is a mighty strong thin rod.

[@southernsalt]

Thank you!! Not sure on the rod it was JJs

[@johnsmith-xd9ej]

I see a TOKAYO Rod, topnotch jigging rod

[@growinghealthyinflorida1060]

I love Bonita, but you have to eat it fresh and bleed it but my most favorite way to eat Bonita is smoked and you have to do that on one of your shows catch and eat smoke Bonita. I think that would be an awesome show.

[@obgmugen]

Man i'm so jealous. Fishing in the pi is second to none but also, palawan is world class. Happy fishing!

[@jimboykulit3934]

since the Philippines is composed of many islands, hope you come back here in the Philippines sir and try some other islands to fish especially in the Visayas or Mindanao Regions. for Luzon, try the extreme north ❤ Palawan is just a small tip on the Philippine iceberg 😂 great fishing video and thanks for making our country your first overseas fishing destination!

[@southernsalt]

I’ll definitely be back!!

[@spicycheems2978]

i'm from philippines, and honestly fish from different regions also taste different. in my opinion, fish from mindanao taste sweeter and less gamy than caught in luzon

Love this video! Nothing compares chowing down cooked fresh fish with rice, boiled, grilled, kinilaw, man that's so yummy, out of the boat in the ocean, having a good time to even more fishing afterwards, with good friends along the fun experience. Man, I envy you! JJ is cool full of smiles, awesome great company. Deep blue water ocean is perfect color to be surrounded with all of this wonderful time! Subbed! Watching you from Southern California. Mouth's watering from all those fish you're eating, reminds me when I was in the Philippines. Grew up part of my life close to the ocean, so I can relate. Thank you for this video. 🙂

[@fishinfool3795]

I would be bringing an electric deep drop rig as I am old and can no way reel up those fish from the depths. Spent time in the PI when I was in the Navy. Crystal clear water.

Awesome video! I'm an avid fisherman also and the only thing I can say is that fish in the Philippines have lesser fish oil compared to the fish here in the the U.S, especially on the northwest. Still good eating though. Hopefully will be able to fish back there next year.

[@j-zone876]

Thank you for visiting & fishing in our beloved county Philippines islands of smiles. 250-300+ meters glad you didnt hookup to a thresher it'll take another 150-200m of line that would be an insane workout for you brother 😅 hope you enjoyed your stay & wish you could visit again 💪fish be with yawll

[@shawnholton8996]

Nate, the jack you caught on day 3 was actually a Almaco Jack and not an AJ, so you did get another species on the day/trip. Are those ruby snapper the same as the queen snapper we get deep dropping in the gulf? Great trip. Tight lines and screaming drags. BTW, Costa Rica gets my vote.

[@southernsalt]

I thought so too but JJ said AJ so I went with it. Probably a language barrier for species translation. Ruby’s are very close to the Queens.

Grew up on Guam as a kid , my Dad was with SAC . Never forget the time he and my uncle came home with a pretty good sized marlin in the trunk of a ‘65 mustang. Tail out one side and bill out of the other side. They got pulled over by the M.P.s but my dad pulled rank on them and called the base commander 😂 Marlin are not great eating , however my father was good friends with many native Guamanians who worked in the mess hall and bx . They were very happy to get it . By the way native Guamanians and Phillipinos are some of the nicest people I have ever met! Go to one of their fiestas you won’t be disappointed. My sister in law is from Davao . Small world. Sorry for the rant

[@alanweston4823]

Bonita is my wife's favorite fish here in Socal. But, you've got to know how to prepare it. First off you've got to bleed the fish out after catching it and keep it on ice. Then filet the fish and cut out the blood line. Then marinate the filets in buttermilk, bread them and fry them. MMMMMM.

[@andrewmarshall360]
