In this offshore fishing episode on the South Florida Fishing Channel we are fishing the islamorada humps off the Florida keys. We do some deep dropping and also do some trolling for mahi and end up with a tasty toro snapper catch and cook.
While deep dropping I catch a toro snapper. And I'm pretty sure this is a world record fish! We also call toro snapper big eye snapper and glass eye snapper. But this is a toro snapper catch and cook!
This solo fishing trip offshore fishing the islamorada humps was such a great trip and a catch n cook fishing episode on the South Florida Fishing Channel that I will remember forever!
Did I mention this fishing episode ends in a cop chase?! That's cops fishing and a guy in fishing boat running from cops. Did not expect to see that on this catch and cook fishing episode where we do Blue tilefish vs toro snapper catch and cook.
HOLD UP!
What about the fact that there are tarpon at the Islamorada humps way offshore the florida keys?! I didn't know tarpon go offshore that far. I knew they went into the ocean but 20+ miles offshore?! I did not know that
I want to give everyone a huge thanks for watching this world record fish catch and cook episode on the south florida fishing channel.
If you like crazy stuff like Tarpon offshore at the Islamorada humps, Cop chase in boat and world record fish being caught and fish catch and cook episode then give the South Florida Fishing Channel a subscribe!
CHEERS!

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

Thank you everyone for your awesome support! I am SO HAPPY to be back on the water. So much fun to come =)

[@kxry4679]

If I beat you in a game of Rock Paper Scissors, will you put me on my first mahi?

[@GlennDrops]

This channel is awsome it gets me more excited to go fishing in the keys and cape Canaveral

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

perhaps! haha. July-August is mahi time!

[@GlennDrops]

@@SouthFloridaFishingChannel you should go fishing at the gun bar near cudjoe key it's in the gulf, you should try and pull up a goliath

[@kxry4679]

South Florida Fishing Channel I’m in Lauderdale, I’m serious😂. I’ll drive down, battle it out like men, then accept my fate

[@LG_Miller]

If someone didn’t know you were making a KZbin video and just happened upon you on the water, the way you get excited and hoop and holler, they might think you were a crazy person! Keep it up buddy, best fishing channel on KZbin!

[@zach_____9266]

I like that your vids seem more real and authentic than some other channels, keep it up

[@skylergarner6053]

that boat chase was definitely a training exercise

[@soflo_justin934]

That’s a good habit to put the boat in Neutral while u come down the tower in case if for some reason u ended up in the water the boat doesn’t keep going

[@anthonymarron2055]

Made my day watching you not only pickup the trash but put it in a hatch so it didn’t blow away

[@bradenparnell4153]

I think that’s a baby Alfonsino, either way still an awesome catch! Love the wrap on the boat!!

[@jasl7358]

Definitely a Toro. They look similar but a Alfonsino has a much smaller dorsal fin

[@stacy3633]

Cant help but to be happy for you..its contagious..your new boat is sweet, keep up the good videos 🤙🤙👍😎

[@txhypnotist]

Thanks for posting it. Always enjoy the plethora of knowledge I acquire just from simply tagging along.

Awesome Day of fishing! That was a great video!

[@11buttek]

Sweet video!!!! Weird to see tarpon at the humps. I’ve caught so many blackfin out there!!! But still have yet to get my tile fish maybe one day lol

[@leonardgarcia6969]

Dude you had the best time,, frikn awesome.

[@Lirin1122]

That is why I wanted to go to Islamorada back when I was in my early 20's. Needless to say that was when you were a baby if that even. My oldest is 34 I fell in love with fishing a month after he was born!! My 1st Mother's day present from my husband.

[@kenbrown3499]

that partol boat is from my marina and the other day they were doing training. so thats probubly it

[@captlilstank8555]

@AllenSeeAllenDo they can be checking if they have substances, unlawfully kept fish, fishing license, if their in a no wake, just like being on the road, theirs a bunch of reasons.

[@TooManyHobbies]

"Noone here knows what they're doing" lol just found your channel and really like the videos!

[@phillipternullo4934]

Congratulations on the new / old boat . It looks great 👍. Love the fishing video’s. As well the catch and.cook . Katlin is beautiful and very sweet . I think you’ve got a keeper There . Pun intended . Good Luck Captain .

[@alexhall4377]

Avid fisherman here, watched ur vids since u started. Favorite episode yet, first comment man couldn't resist! Whole video was great, keep it up!

[@alexhall4377]

In the hospital now cause my boat literally blew up on me. Ur vids are keeping me going and making me continue my search for a new boat. Cant wait, will be coming to the keys again as soon as that happens. Would be cool to follow you out on my new boat and maybe shoot some video from afar for you! While I'm fishing too of course lol hopefully my hands heal good. Will reach out to u and fully understand if u cant cause u have so many followers. Figuered since I was given a 2nd shot at life I'd hit u up and see what happens. Enjoy that new motor and tower man as much as u can so we can all benefit from the vids! Stay safe out there!

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

holy smokes! You're in the hospital because of the boat blowing up or what?!

[@alexhall4377]

Sure am, previous owner 3 way'd the fuel sender to the auto bilge and thats hard wired so when I switched the battery off to fix crimps on sender somehow a spark ignited fumes in the compartment and was lucky enough to escape with my life and just really bad burns to the hands, wrists, elbows and back. Luckily saved my face, but the boat is GONE lol been in here for a week and completed final surgery friday so I'm just recovering now and catching ur vids for entertainment

[@alexhall4377]

If I could post pics of my recently skin grafted hands here I would lol Probably would help prevent a few boat disasters due to improper wiring lol Always check where those wires go 100% before u touch em even if u think u know the boat well. Maybe save a fortune in hospital bills 👍👍

[@TheCriminalViolin]

Well hey, I guess you could say with that uninvited entrance from the feathered neighbor while recording the chase, "No Egrets!" haha

[@lb7wade518]

You sound so freaking excited!!

[@okifishermans1378]

Looks very similar to a fish we catch in Hawaii called aweoweo. Awsome catch 🤙🏻

[@1dotele]

Glad to see you got a new motor

[@mikea7942]

nice to see u enjoying the "new" boat!

[@javierlabarta8253]

Haven't seen it and still know it will be a banger

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

You rock Javier!

[@fishingben]

I sent you a message on one of your videos. if you could respond it would be great

[@golgason]

You should of had it officially weighed!! Thats like a life long dream to catch a world record. And i love me some fresh water walleye!

[@petermyers479]

7 knots is a really good trolling speed. Try it. It’ll seem fast but it’ll work pretty well. Helps when water is clear, fish can’t see lure detail as well when it’s moving fast. Good luck.

[@Mr.Cool7hings]

Like watching u fishing u show when u have a good day or bad 100 100 I'm in the Caribbean love going fishing too 😎😎😎

[@benschroeder1161]

Videos like this make me work harder in school so I can someday do what you do. Thanks for the inspiration. I hope our paths cross one day so we could go fish together 🤙🏼

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

You got it Ben! Cheers

[@hungnmiami]

@@SouthFloridaFishingChannel maybe I'm missing something but what was that red fish

[@tripleachannel4712]

Great day on the water nice catch , by the way boat looks awesome a lot of work out into it ..

[@tonymitchell4720]

Really like your channel and hope your enjoying the new to you rig. Thought since you have a large audience and are in contact with an Evenrude dealer, you might put to rest some of the spastic fears I've been seeing in the forums about the Evenrude shutdown. I spoke with our local dealer in Biloxi and they assured us there would be no issues with waranty, service or parts. Maybe you could speak to this briefly on one of your upcoming videos. Thanks and keep up the great videos.

[@A1AAdventures]

The boat is SO BOSS!

[@pantufeve4702]

21:08 yeah~ yeah~ yeah... Great Vid!

[@br18od]

Great Video! You should look into the FELL MARINE wireless kill switch system really good to have when fishing solo boat shuts off if you fall in the water I have it and fish solo a lot .

[@martyhicks5593]

Haven't had tower very long and mastered the fastest dismount.💪

[@hickabilly19992]

Looks like a saltwater version of a crappie lol good catch in bro!

HI I HAVEN'T STOPED WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS AND I SEE YOU HAVE A NEW BOAT OR JUST A NEW MOTOR I REALLY LIKE YOU BOAT I ALSO SEE REAL LOVE CAME YOUR LIKE YOU SAID IN ONE OF YOUR VIDEO BY THE WAY YOU GUYS MAKE A NICE COUPLE 🐟🐟🐟THIS VIDEO GOT 3 FISH BECAUSE IT WAS A GREAT VIDEO KEEP CATCHING THEM

[@vbnautical5041]

Im a fairly new sub, love the channel so far. Grew up in NJ, live in Virginia Beach, and have a family condo in Hallandale Beach where we usually go out of Haulover Inlet. Living in the keys looks nice. Keep up the good content, new boat overhaul is soo nice. Subu

[@Xavierpropertyshow]

New sub since I saw the boat rebuild dope videos man

[@borderlandish1140]

Thats a big toro ! Ive only caught one and it was better then the yellow tail i cooked at the same time same way

[@jackchn23]

Go grab Mike from Reel Reports. He’s still waiting on his boat to be made. He will show you how to throw that net. Collaboration!

[@johnnevers26]

yo heiko get that big eye toro mounted 😂

[@tayjohnson713]

You make me laugh so much, keep up the good work

[@manuelbover4816]

When you're deep dropping make sure your transducer is on 50 kilohertz. keep the boat running at the same speed the current is going until you hook up to a fish and the fish you caught is called a Toro fish

[@Christian_Tango_Christ]

Heiko what a good video! Great to see you enjoying the boat and all the upgrades 😀 Do you think the tarpon might be migrating from up from Cuba to the east coast during the hatch?

[@spencerlewer7053]

I’m potentially moving to panama city soon. I would love to find some spots there. Love ur channel. Just found it. Coming from Augusta GA

[@ReelFloridaFishingChannel]

This video has it all! surprise, drama, excitement.. gonna be a hit for sure! awesome day on the water Heiko! Just posted that catch clean cook and gave u a shoutout for the sauce idea 😁

[@starkillerr3116]

Great video I wish I could do stuff like that, I'm 18 and have to work nonstop just to pay the bills,my days off I go freshwater fishing miss saltwater so bad

[@dsmt8703]

Boat looks good. I like casting a metal fish jig like a flat fall, iron or swimbaits at busting fish haven’t tried poppers but they look fun

[@gutpile6151]

Goldfish dude! Epic

[@Evan721sxm]

Get it off 200 hertz and use your low chirp past 500 feet. High chirp for less than 500 feet. Also you can zoom in 8x on the bottom by turning your rotary knob. Try this and youll have much better detail.

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

I'll have to try this! =)

[@Evan721sxm]

@@SouthFloridaFishingChannel then when you really want to get crazy you can split it with 2 echos and have one with source 1 (hi chirp) looking at only 0 to 100 feet and the other split with source 2 (low chrip) looking at the bottom 8x zoom. These dual chirps and evo3s really are amazing. Im still learning myself.

[@metaljeremy]

You're really gonna make it dude!

[@mcnallyyachtsales5142]

Dude you are hilarious! Lv the videos. Nice day on the water. Hit that sunscreen...lol

[@lynkpaul33]

Now this is what happens when you don't have enough beer to drink innthe boat...lol

[@tim7652]

Definately a great day on the water. The deep drop fish is an Alfonsino. They are commonly caught in the 5 lb range. The Gale Force twins channel from Big Pine have a video of one they caught about 8 months ago. Keep up the fun videos.

[@tim7652]

Sorry spelled it wrong. Alfonsino
