The fastest growing fish in the ocean (catch, clean, cook)

[@FoxMcScrooge]

Pro tip. Instead of butter, use clarified butter (or Ghee). Tastes exactly the same or better and holds a much higher temperature for pan frying. Especially good for small crumbed fillets like whiting because you can get the pan super hot, without burning the butter, to get a good crunch and not overcook the fillet

[@uberbeast113]

That's good to know. Nothing worse than burnt fish.

[@techmeister3208]

Glad to see the life jacket. Even when you're not alone, it's a good idea. With everything you're wearing that absorbs water, it will be a task if you go over. We are new comers to you channel and love the content. Thank you!

[@robertgriffin545]

Really enjoy your shows. Wish I lived closer to the ocean to be able to salt water fish. Love the thrill of never knowing what may come from the ocean at any time. Keep up the great work on your videos.

When I was a young kid Steve Irwin was my hero and even though he’s not with us he still Is. but this guy and the Australian accent is my new boy. Sammy is the shit and Brave as hell to go offshore by himself with a single engine.

Justin Greenmount Cheers mate! Was stoked to see all three come aboard! Don’t often get that lucky! 🍻🍻

[@Mooshimoca]

first time i ever went offshore in a small single engine boat it broke and drifted me a few miles down the coastline until the lifeboat came

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

That's very unlucky!!

[@uberbeast113]

I did a bit of sea fishing in my early teens back in the mid 80's living in the med and fishing along the coastline of Ibiza, pulling a little spinner off the back of my windsurfer (line tied to the mast - no wire trace, the simplest rig) and catching the odd mullet and dolphin fish (the med version, a fast streamlined fish, not so big and heavy around the head and gills). Those critters would go straight to the galley and into a pan of olive oil. What I'd like to know, because I notice you're not showing it here, is how you despatch such a large creature. Back in the 80's we had a kind of club thing (can't remember the name) just a few inches long. But I think one would be there forever with such a tool and a big bugger like the one you caught here. Not fun, not for the angler and certainly no fun for the fish. Enjoying your videos. Don't stop! Regards from the UK

[@uberbeast113]

Yeman, the little club thing was called a PRIEST. After a little googling it seems the way to kill a big catch is a knife severing the spine near the head. Not surprised you don't show it lol

[@m1686]

Yes it's a great idea fishing alone to have a kill switch with the lanyard. You can make the lanyard long enough to you can get all the way around the boat. But if you fell in, the boat will be stopped for you! Great video with some great fish.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

m1686 yeah definitely something to consider mate, Might have to make up and extension 👌👌

[@Alan_lay]

Good call on the life jacket Sammy, I do the same when running solo, I also run an extension strap on my safety lanyard, that way I can still move about the boat and if I end up in the piss my motor will shut off and my boat won’t sail off into the sunset leaving me for the sharks.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

alan lay Cheers Alan, yeah not a terrible idea that. Definitely one to consider 🍻🍻

[@guygrigg2332]

Fantastic Sammy, love the catch, education and then finally the fillet and cook too. Even my wife watches your vids with me now so you are doing something right :)

[@fishmarketdohar]

This guy is such an inspiration I can’t even explain it.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Cheers mate!

[@Neil-Jones]

Those fish certainly are fast-growing. We were trolling fast and I was way way back behind the boat trying to get deep when I hooked one of those suckers. It was a good 25 pounder but by the time I got it gaffed it was 45 lb if it was a pound. Amazing fish!!!

[@davidpowell259]

Awesome video as usual. Loved the explained gear set up at the end, it will assist with my next purchases.

Great stuff mate good on ya what a top day fishing! Btw, there was nothing "unhealthy" about the way you cooked the fish perhaps a thick batter and deep fried isn't the best but the way you did it was fine.
