In this video:
Mahi is one of my favorite fish to catch n cook. I also love to catch and cook tuna. In this case, black fin tuna. So i'm super excited we finally got lucky offshore trolling key largo. It's about time. But let's rewind!
First, we anchor in 35ft of water on the key largo patch reefs. We put a chum bag out and the ballyhoo show up instantly. We use theballyhoop net and quickly fill the livewell with ballyhoo. We will troll these ballyhoo to catch mahi and tuna.
The funny thing is all the mah and tuna we catch were caught on feathers and dive plugs. None were actually caught on the juicy ballyhoo baits we were trolling offshore.
We put a mahi mahi in the boat along with handful of black fin tuna. These are going to be perfect for the mahi tacho catch n cook
I am planning. I also decide to catch and cook the tuna up in 2 ways. Seared with sesame seeds and one served raw.
What a great day trolling offshore out of key largo Florida! I hope you have been enjoying the south florida fishing channel!

Damn I just recently stumbled on (and subbed to) your channel and its so crazy...my best friends uncle has a home in KL and when I go down there, that's all the same places we fish. We leave out of Blackwater Sound and through Adams pass, into Pennekamp, and out to the reefs/offshore. Going through your older content and looking forward to seeing the new stuff.

[@Steve-ec6ed]

[@imaikalanitenn8462]

I just started getting into jigging and was wondering what is the best size reel

[@jakobbiedermann7819]

Ive watched every video

[@maxwright9756]

sick video as always. waiting on that hog hunt also! haha

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

yea i'll see when I can get around to that. Saving that footage for a rainy day when I have nothing else to post. I have 2 more fishing videos I need to finish editing right now.

[@stuartc.fishing5281]

Do a bar jack catch and cook

[@alexflorida9544]

Enjoyed the video. Will be in Key Largo in middle of March. Hoping to get some mahi and tuna as well. How’s the fishing in March? Any recommendations?

[@sicilianspearo6453]

Do more spearfishing vids please!

[@luisbarrios5524]

Nice vid how many inches was that mahi ¿ 25?

[@dansufor5856]

Do wahoo have high Mercury? How often is it safe to eat them?

[@lb7wade518]

You need part of a foam noodle on the hoop

[@mikefurtek8991]

Happy birthday Heiko! Peace and happiness. Glad to see you you now keep your other hand out of the way when you cut. I’m a Chef by trade. You food makes me want to eat. You mentioned gaming. What games do you play on PC? Thank you for the great videos.

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

Mike Furtek i havent been playing much but i like pubg and that sea of theives pirate game lok

[@NEIL812]

As always, awesome video! Keep'em coming. Just out of curiosity though, did you have time to work on the 3D printer and the lure again today? I'm still curious about it after last night's live stream!

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

I'll try and spend some time on it tomorrow if I have some time!

[@gordonfoster5311]

Can't believe you threw away those jacks...... My favourite fish to eat. Down here in the Caribbean we target them.......

[@paramount215]

Next time when your in the tuna try a wahoo lure there, the wahoo love to eat tuna . maybe a yozuri bonita or something. Love the vids subscribed

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

How far back do you like to run the yozuri bonita lure?

[@paramount215]

I usually run them pretty short

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

20-25ft behind the boat?

[@paramount215]

around 50 feet the purple is the best color I think

[@christiongson4158]

Hey men did you guys manage to retrieve that net? Pls say you guys did cuz that net will do a lot of damage to the ocean wild life.

[@ralphcrandon2034]

Did you guys catch any adult fish that day. Didn't know you were fiishing for bait

[@hotwiredpc4079]

Hi Heiko do you think the Lindgren-pitman s 1200 is to much reel for your average deep drop fishing? Would you prefer this over the Daiwa Tanacom 1000?

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

It's def. a lot more money. But I think if you plan on going for swords it would be good to have. But I plan on getting away with the tanacom 1000 for now

[@alexandersferes432]

What type of boat do u have

[@Destinoffshorefishing]

Y’all need to invest in raw water wash down lol

[@WilliamHowardAlloway]

Oh no who had the bad luck banana

[@xdsmastermia]

nice video and cook! as always! So H, dude I'd love to go fishing with you man, i'm in miami. dude I'll pay for the gas and bait, i'm serious bro.

[@allendabold5611]

does your mom and dad do the fishing couple video

[@rrgH20polo]

Is there a problem with your new 3D lure video...? I just get a "!" on the screen and no vid. Keep up the great work (fishing Vids). Thanks

[@kingtrilldrill]

taurus gang

[@jakobbiedermann7819]

[@joeybudd6959]

When are you going to catch a wahoo?

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

soooon

[@mikelyons7511]

Opening a beer with an empty water bottle pretty good. I can do it with a pencil. Nice video, but you should have introduced your parents

[@uprbutt]

Love your videos, play some great music too them, Check out Krys Talk - Fly Away (Mendum Remix) I think you will like it.

[@marcuslarwa9098]

Dam those are small tuna with like no fat on them at all. We’re they away good? Seems like a fish that small with low fat wouldn’t have much taste to it.

[@franciscocabrera6513]

C'mon mann Bananas are bad luckk

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

lol, nahh

[@richardwallace2054]

Best behavior bubba, mama is around. The kid is right, what happen to the girl. since she went missing I notice you've been chumming a lot.lol

[@brandonbingaman1880]

Anyone in Key Largo selling the BallyHoop net?

[@WilliamHowardAlloway]

Heiko, Are you gonna let your parents fish

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

was fishing all day the day before this. We caught a lot but I didn't take video that day

[@chillynose8795]

First

[@barryleechingliang3717]

[@hookedonprjonrojas2314]

who else 👍b4 watching?

[@christophertjahjadi7063]

are you parents German ?

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

Yup

[@christophertjahjadi7063]

Nice I'm German too😬 I m watching your vlog every time I can .. keep up🤙🏼

[@kinglamar2283]

Great vids but u always fishing in the same spots. It's boring. U don't have no where else marked in your GPS

[@kylebronisz9689]

Instead of using the text chat, flog u saying it. Would make your videos better

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

huh? Text chat and flog?

[@joevalencic5275]

I cringe when I watch you clean fish. Get a glove or start cutting AWAY from your hands! We don’t need you out of commission for reeling in fish. PLEASE!!!

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

soon, there is only one more slightly cringy filleting video coming out. Then I change my style up. PS I didn't cut myself =)
