[@DanTheFishMan]

I love this style of reef fishing!! Light leader lots of fun!

[@LegendHold1]

LOL Claire is a hoot! Those 'tatoos don't stand a chance! Seems like she loved the snapper too. That steak is a beast as well. Lovely surf and turf dinner...now I gotta go make me a lunch...it's made me hungry watching this! Love Frank, i'm on a "diet" a "seafood" diet?...naw I think he means a "see-food" diet..as in when "I see food and I EAT IT!" Looks like a great day with the family!

[@jasongrinnell1986]

I do enjoy watching your channel.

[@WillMilner637]

Ima be at islandmorotta for a day and my dad and a few of my friends we are thinking of eating lunch at bud n Mary’s my boat is a 37 seavee battle ship grey named tail walker

[@StanzFam]

Cool, the cafe there is closing early each day now since it’s “off season” , but they are open for breakfast

[@WillMilner637]

Got some of ur merch from the shop and so did my friends and I saw some big tarpon there

[@CaptCollier]

My favorite kind of fishing! Chumming for the mangs with light tackle. Can’t beat it, great video!

[@carolyn64]

I started out watching deer meat for dinner then bluegabe. Saw you on their videos and started watching you. I enjoy your fishing, cleaning, and cooking and your interaction with your family. With the way a lot of the world is going now it's really good to watch all of your content! Stay safe and healthy!

[@vincentmangeaux9419]

[@trancemusic8805]

[@StanzFam]

Definitely don’t need the freeman to have fun 🎣

[@love2fish78]

Hahahaha you look like Santa Clause!! Oh baby Claire is getting so big!! That olive oil and sunshine seasoning is some of the best you can get!! 10 out of 10 recommend!! Another awesome video #StanzFam you guys rock!!

[@TheBromaster08]

it is great to hoock up fish...awesome..

[@kencross25]

🐟🦞👍 Living well in the Keys my friend! I two saw the lucky banana. The only suggestion is that you add smell-a-vision to your StanzFam channel. LOL

[@sixtycents7191]

Love the 1/2 shell . Always a winner ✌🏻

[@jimmygoughler9786]

Keep up the great work Capt!!!

[@jorgerequena92]

Great fishing guys

[@fame0095]

[@StanzFam]

Cool, swing on by 🙌🏻

[@brandonu1422]

Love the content Nick look forward to every video!

[@bobbygriz5648]

"It rubs the oil on the fish" who caught that lol Nick and his subtle humor👍❤🤣Really good day on the water but can you smell that? Mmmm mmmm🙏

[@lifestylewithivan]

Another great snapper filled day A1 great job🇧🇸

[@iAmLegend22GS]

Wish you would have cooked up one of the remora. You'd be surprised how good they are.

[@RikkiTikkiTavi290]

The really big dogs are my favorite snapper to catch. Insanely pretty. Don't get the big ones too often though. Had one day where we caught 5-6 over 5lbs and one that weighed just under 8.

[@andrewsiarkiewicz341]

You gotta do another video with The Bean a mini rod challenge. You can’t beat the bean pole

[@johntsairis7011]

Nick. Let’s try a catch clean and cook on one of those big remora!! How bout it?? Curious to see what their flesh looks like.

[@StanzFam]

I’ve heard of people eating them but I haven’t yet, maybe one day

[@tedsmith3532]

Nice and fun

[@p00712341]

It would be nice if you could talk about location. Depth. Line size. Hook size. Etc. Some information to learn from.

[@jorgerequena92]

That's a school master, in Belize we call them brokpat

[@LD.Walker]

Need to do a remora CCC. They taste almost as good as cobia.

[@StanzFam]

I may have to try it one day

[@RikkiTikkiTavi290]

I've tried it and thought it was soso. Couple people that also tried it, some said it was great and some said they didn't care for it.

[@donaldtouchton9523]

Awesome 👍🏻

[@barbdaddy2122]

What does Jamaican mike do at the Marina?

[@garrettnowack2385]

Nick what kind of knives do you use?

[@AuditRecon]

I worked for a restaurant in Ft. Lauderdale back in the mid 70's & we served what was known as Hog Snapper. Beautiful white meat. Are they still known as Hog Snapper?

[@StanzFam]

Hogfish technically but lots of people call them hog snapper. Delicious eating for sure

[@love2fish78]

LETS GO SNAPPER FISHING!!! #TisTheSeason

[@gradybrowning3976]

Captain Nick your gonna have to do a Grunts and Grits catch and cook. Or just fried Grunt anyway.

[@littlemiamijeff]

What are those fish swimming near the surface with the big dorsal fins? Remora?

[@StanzFam]

Yep,

[@befmx31]

How deep were here? Thanks.

[@allanmagnous9365]

Where is Jamaica Mike?

[@carlasbury8045]

Try this one time on your catch and cook. Get yourself a new galvanized garbage can and cut the bottom out. Make a shelf from some wire fencing, or something to lay the fish on. Hang it about 3" below the top of the can. Punch about 6 holes in the lid (1/2 inch). Set it on 3 or 4 bricks so that the side of the can will be off of the ground a couple of inches. Get some old hard mangrove wood and burn down to coals. Just use plain coarse salt and some black pepper on fish. Leave the scales on the filets. Place filets scales down on wire rack. If you can get some green Buttonwood leaves place them over the coals to make the smoke, if you can't get Buttonwood then you can use Mangrove leaves. Set wire rack inside can and place lid on can. Check in about 15 minutes to see if fish has turned white and dried out some, you want it a little one the dry side. This works great with some of the tougher snapper as well as black run mullet. Enjoy.

[@StanzFam]

Sounds pretty good!

[@hectorargotte3144]

Where can I buy a minirod, can u put a link to it plz

[@StanzFam]

We are sold out right now but we have more in production

[@draygarner7026]

*Dogtooth snapper or schoolmaster , a "dog" snapper is orange and red when that size.

[@dsjoyful14ever]

Where is the BEAN?

[@kencross25]

Nick, I thought I saw you wearing a long sleeve tee "STANZFAM Alligator Reef Lighthouse" top when y'all were lobster diving. My wife loved that shirt and it will be her birthday Sept.18th. Do you have a Men's Small or Youth X-large and matching Cap I can order? Long sleeve not seen on website.

[@StanzFam]

Hey Ken We just have StanzFam short sleeve cotton shirts, and then the alligator reef long sleeve performance camo shirt, which says STANZ fishing and it’s the green/reef color

[@vdubbin64]

How many hours on the 250? Can’t tell if it’s a big girl or a newer gen.?

[@StanzFam]

I think the boat is just a couple years old now, I would guess a few hundred hours on it

[@michaelgreene]

Go ahead and ask Frank Cone what MF Conehead mean? Worked with him at the Nuclear Plant for years. Love that guy.

[@vincentmangeaux9419]

Frank keeps it real

[@jordannelson780]

It rubs the oil on the fish! Or what? It gets the hose again LOL.

[@ritchiehostetter8232]

Do you and bean still hang around

[@StanzFam]

Some, he’s just been busy running in the backcountry

[@jamesoglesby1164]

I really need that steak in my life!!😋😉😉

[@aquaman461]

I enjoy your videos but would watch more often if you were teaching me something.

[@obozomustgo5449]

Nick, it may be hard to be a better fisherman than the Bean, but it aint hard to be a better mate than the Bean.... just sayin. :-) BTW... Nick, Claire eats like you do.... stuff it in and get messy! LOL

[@franciskokiko2997]

Whats the secret? no trigger fish bite the hook.

[@davesjenn3727]

I see a pile of lobster nets but none are Brook's.

[@oldmanriver1057]

I see that you have your lucky banana!

[@masterhaterbater5927]

"If you like grunt" Uh, who doesn't? It's a great eating fish

[@RikkiTikkiTavi290]

It rubs the oil on the fish, else they says yous a bisch

[@9929kingfish]

Damn, never release grunts. I keep them all here in NC. I get made fun of all the time, but if you cook it well it’s good eating. If it’s legal, I’ll keep mostly everything I catch.

[@ElderMillennialStuff]

Grunts taste great, nothing wrong with keeping a grunt

[@benjigans1419]

I mainly release them also. I live about 2 hours north of the Stanz crew. I ocean fish and catch those on the reef, I release them since they're very difficult to fillet and they're nothing but bones, especially the little ones.

[@9929kingfish]

@@benjigans1419 your fillet skills must be weak. J/k. No more bones than any other snapper from what I can tell. If I catch a big grunt, he’s going in the grease. Hands down.

[@benjigans1419]

@@9929kingfish I take the big ones, just not the small ones. I don’t keep those that are under 12-14” even though there’s no minimum size Here in Florida.

[@piggway]

remora tastes like lobster.....

[@patricksenn8533]

Claire is growing up too fast
