High Speed Trolling | Mahi & Yellow Jack Catch n Cook

I meet up with Dan (Florida Fishing Couple) and test out his new high speed trolling gear. We catch more mahi than I could count but at the end of the day this ends with a Yellow Jack catch n cook.

In this video:
I get to Dans house super early around 5am and there is a full moon. We have some coffee and then run through Adams Cut here in Key Largo and make our way offshore.
We plan to high speed troll for Wahoo until about 9am and at that point we will move over to trolling feathers and ballyhoo. When high speed trolling we were doing about 14-17knots and when trolling the feathers and ballyhoo we were doing about 4-6knots.
Not much luck with high speed trolling but then we start to hook into a ton of mahi. All of them were peanuts but man they were everywhere! We must have caught 15-20 small mahi.
After trolling for several hours we do some vertical jigging and both Dan and I hookup. Dan managed to land a nice Yellow Jack and I was already excited for the catch and cook because I already know I love yellow jack. Oh yea!
If you have never did a catch n cook with a yellow jack I highly recommend keeping the next yellow jack you catch and throw it on the grill. Yellow Jack also is great in fish tip.
Thank you for tuning into this high speed trolling episode and I hope you enjoyed the yellow jack catch n cook even thou I messed up the recipe a bit, but I'll get it next time. Cheers everyone!

[@bmitch1211]

Imagine dan posting his footage of this trip and someone watching his channel for the first time and thinking you two are the “Florida fishing couple” lmao

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

LOL that never came to my mind but damn that's funny

[@russwhite4446]

bradley mitchell thats not right damn funny but still not right whats a guy got to do for some fillets man lol.

This place is very beautiful!Congratulations beautiful *FISHING!* Havea great week!👍🎣😎

[@FloridaFishingCouple]

BAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Now that's freaking funny!! ...not that there is anything wrong with that!! Elizabeth laughed out loud!! She just posted our version of that day and it is very different. Great comment Bradley!! -D&E

[@gulfwaterfishingchannel3023]

bradley mitchell lol

[@FloridaFishingCouple]

Darn, did we really get up that early!!! Elizabeth and I watched last night on the big screen. Great video and perspective on the day. The weeds were what did us in that day but, we made it productive anyway. Always enjoy fishing together - look forward to our next Wahoo hunt; no doubt we will be successful sooner or later. Great video Heiko - as always! -D

[@jilliancollins5598]

You guys have taught me more then you know. Especially as a female the pandemic made me get my a$$ outside to play as did it for all of us. Now the whole world owns a boat. Thank you boys for not just the education but inspiring me to fish and know we all gotta learn one way and it doesn’t have to be perfect!! Ty guys!

[@MrDjSaneR]

"Maybe we'll catch a vegan wahoo", lol hilarious!

[@csoutdoors6062]

Always love to see you trying new fish, Yellow Jack is great and I love it, keep catching em!

[@floridafishermanpace798]

I watch all the fishing youtubers, but nothing excites me more than seeing that you uploaded another video.

[@joshuapaulcollins]

LOL @ "blacks like to hang out in groups." Such an innocent statement. Such a hilarious unintentional delivery.

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

Lololol haha nice catch

[@joshuapaulcollins]

@@SouthFloridaFishingChannel Yes! I love your channel.

nothing like fishing with yr old man. bro your videos rock and bring back a lot of memory's fishing with my old man lol great job broskii

Great video young man lessons learned hes a great mentor atb Russ.

[@minibar7165]

What a great video, one of the best I've seen, by far!!! I do a lot of fishing as you can see if you click on my MiniBar Marlin to the left, but I'm relatively new to Florida and still acquiring local knowledge, as much as I can find. This video I learned so much, just by observing you guys and the info you posted, such as your trolling speed, etc. A big thumbs up and I subscribed!

[@DonkeySpearfishing]

Nice yellow jack👍👍 One of my favorite fish to shoot on the reef and tasty

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

yea I'm going to go after them more now

[@jroyero]

tennis ball on gaff...excellent!!!

[@SouthFloridaSaltwaterFishing]

great video... weeds are always a bummer... was it fun navigating south sound in the dark?

[@mjk8710]

Nice man ,loving your channel.bring it👍🏻🇬🇧

[@dylannordfeldt8331]

Have been waiting for a video keep it up

[@sshebb]

I think if you slightly dusted the fish with flour and seasoning it would thicken the sauce. And the best wahoo fishing I've seen was using kite trolling.

[@danmctigue8959]

Enjoyed all 53 minutes brother

[@periesicsd]

It's kinda funny that Asian car manufacturers also make A LOT of fishing gear, as well as garden equipment. I don't have a Porsche or Lamborghini reel.Only Asian or Norwegian ones. Those Scandinavian ones are also very, very good, as well as their rods. I bought them in Norway self. Not cheap, but very good.

[@reynaldobalisi9008]

Power bro, fish-on

[@saltology9586]

Got my first big yellowjack on monday while reef fishing. Sent down a small yellowtail(tip I got from a local guide) and i got straight destroyed in under 5 seconds on the bottom. 80' of water and 40 lb leader on a fish finder. Highly recommend it, but the bloodline is gnarly

[@TheAutisticAngler]

The sauce is made by melting a lump of butter, then mixing it with some flour then adding the milk, stirring all the time. Maybe you broiled the fish in the milk separate to making the sauce? For cheese sauce, just add grated cheese at the end before pouring over the meal.

[@djwilliedwilcox2111]

nice yellow jack bro. good eating fish.

[@joshbreckling9084]

Im more of a culinary student then fisher but love both. I can tell you that flour and butter is a sauce called a blonde roux so that is probably it

[@wolfe8146]

That fish that came out of the yellow jack stomach was a trumpet fish

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

oh yea that looks like it! Good work

[@periesicsd]

Cool! I wonder who the first person was who got a tone out of that species!

[@smokajoint808]

When you put lures our do it from the side of the boat so it don’t jump back at you or get sucked into the motor

[@paulherman9599]

Excellent...100%

[@colemiller2458]

Just a tip but wahoo down here start running around winter when it gets cooler that’s when you will run into the schools of wahoo it’s kinda rare to catch them during summer and all the wahoo I caught we trolled around 9-10 knots just thought it would help a little

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

thanks for the info. Yea this was a LONGSHOT. we just wanted to test the new gear =)

[@stevegrossberg5052]

Looks like that jack ate a trumpet fish. Just my guess with the long snout and that gold and purple color. Great videos!

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

yup I think you're right!

[@jerrybarbieri8174]

DUDE YELLOW JACK IS SUSHI GRADE!!!!!!! and great for fish tacos.... absolutely delicious fish ill take yellow jack over most anything.. havent got one in awhile last two i got were beast 33 inchers on bridge when we goin for grouper brother? i still have yet to get a keeper black gag or red..

[@cap3915]

Hope You're Feeling BETTER Heiko!!! You looked Pretty-Sick the other night Bro.!! Cheers Cap

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

Still feeling a bit sick but I forced myself to finish editing this video! Working on the scalloping video now! Thanks for the comment Captain

[@luisbarrios5524]

Would love to see u use the scented lures

[@timothyyarborough5338]

I live in jax fla and loved to try to fish with you

[@elvirgo2899]

boil it with coconut milk with some onions and salt and that's it...island style!!

[@coggins63]

You and Dan make great fishing buds, keep it up. you guys together make great videos. since I found your channel I dumped deer meat for dinner. The last thing anyone need is to go fishing with a holy roller with that phony SOB

[@ericmayers8244]

a trick for wahoo while trolling, is when your going drive in a zigzag pattern. Doing this will make the bait disapear in the wake for a short period of time and that's when the wahoo strike.

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

thanks for the tips!

[@onritenow]

pleasantly taking your time watching not to over train the seagulls .

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

lol they come in herds!

[@bkeindl]

what size are those avet's on the bent bud rods ?

[@rodashford1151]

Great video bud, try flouring your fish before cooking that way and the milk/butter will turn into a sauce,

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

mmmm thanks for the tip!

[@paramount215]

put the high speed leaders on wrist spools much easier less tangles

[@eliasbhatti6340]

47:27 it’s probably a flying fish

[@Gladesboy4life]

Peanuts can get aggravating when tryin to run a spread lol

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

hah oh yea!

[@gulfwaterfishingchannel3023]

🤙

[@bluewater_1142]

Man thats a stud of a jack ! Such good eating. You think the thing in the Jacks belly was a bird beak ? GT's are notorious for eating birds.

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

A lot of people were saying it's a trumpet fish

[@CreepyClownFilms]

Bottom-right corner at 15:48? It looks bigger than Dan's mahi

[@ericmartin4560]

How many fish per gallon will that boat get

[@sambmendez2454]

Awesome video brother I agree with you use a thickening agent like flour or corn starch Sauce would’ve been all over the fish and it would’ve made it more appealing but looks good still bro i’m gonna try that recipe I’m a chef love your videos Thanks for making epic content brother #BlairWitchProjects lol 😂🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏!!!!

Looks like a cornet fish by the look of the nose and colors

[@ddcustomrods1378]

You and Dan should check out the Dolphinfish Research Program at Beyondourshores.org Wess will send you free tag and release kits for all of those small mahi. It's kinda cool when one of your released fish gets caught again and you see how big it got and how far away it travels.

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

Thanks for the link i'll check them out! Loved the rods and gaff guys. Looked so sexy

[@pamdimitrio4972]

That's whole milk. 2% has a blue lid

cook the fish next time seperate and make the sauce with heavy cream and garlic, no need for flour and then pour the sauce on top of the fish after it is cooked

Hi

[@captt786]

What kinda boat does Dan have. Is that a Key Largo too?

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

Hey Tim i'm not 100% sure. He's told me a few times and I keep forgetting lol. It's completely made out of plastic instead of fiberglass and wood. I'm sure you can ask him on his channel 'Fishing Florida Couple' and he'll tell ya. Cheers!

[@piqui2006]

@@SouthFloridaFishingChannel hey the boat is a triumph 210cc series ,unsinkable no maintenance , is plastic hull, 2 inches outer hull,2 inch of foam another inch of plastic, they may not look stylish but they sure are good ,sorry I have 1 just like that newer engine I will not sell or change it :)

[@jeffreyvanderklip6769]

Bring your trolling speed back to about 10 /12 knots. I have caught Wahoo at higher speeds but I've had better luck at the stated speed.

Thanks for the input Jeff!

Look up making a Roux....butter, flour and milk, make sure you add some kind of flavoring as the roux is basic as is www.bbc.com/food/recipes/rouxthebasicwhitesau_13035

[@jeremy87turbo87]

I have a very serious good question why in the world do you buy all natural sea salt all you have to do is boil sea water to get sea salt and it's all natural stop buying it and boil the water until it evaporates and get your own sea salt easily done on a burner in your backyard don't even have to sit intend it

[@IloveYou-zh3ob]

Just as others have mentioned, it does need a dab of oil before you use it kzbin.infoUgkxSlytCJqozTF7EbdP4LWP-HUXf9WRDJ0e - put a few drops in through the convenient screw cap and you are good to go! I have fished several weeks with a couple of these, and I will be getting more in the future. I put these against my Abu Garcia Pro Max reel, and they actually perform a bit better than the Abu with some of my lighter cranks, and definitely just as good with the rest of my lures. My Abu is a bit more low profile and fits my hand better, but these are definitely not bad at all. You can almost get 3 of these for the price of my Pro Max. My only complaint is the thumb bar sits pretty high compared to my traditional profile Abu. Bring that thumb bar down a little and I’m sold on these all day long.
