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

G'day Legends! It was the week before Xmas and Santa came to visit me early!! After a slow start to the day I ended up finding some awesome fish and to top it all off, the weather was absolutely exceptional as well!
Merry Fishmas everyone!

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.

[@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.

[@Mr57Nick]

Thanks for sharing - just a great fishing video! Love to see more! Interesting to see a gear description under show more - all the best!

[@brenstewart5363]

I absolutely love your videos especially with Shauna Whale. I love how excited you both get and feed off each other. Keep up the good work. Love them here in Maine

[@Hunt_Fish_Harvest]

Love a good solo sesh, always end up being the best trips!!

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

They definitely are good fun, I've always like fishing solo!

[@vaughanp8420]

Such a great specimen , love catching these guys !

[@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 :)

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Well done Sammy! that is my ultimate favourite sportfish...great fight, great eating & a sustainable stock fish...

[@marcranhay29]

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.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Marc Ran hay hahah cheers mate, single engine is fineeeeeee. Unless it stops 😂🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Lauri Brown was an awesome day!

[@johnwieszciecinski2613]

Absolutely wonderful video my man

[@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 👌👌

[@williamatta3279]

Another great video Sam. My bad for the solo trip. Too shattered from a late night whiting n trev session. You did really well though. And yes, the Mahi Mahi sashimi was delicious. Cheers

[@warrensrooms1020]

Sammy thanks for the awesome videos. Also, your recipe for the Mahi was tasty, the family loved it. I added a Mango salsa sent you a pic to your Facebook page

[@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!

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Thanks mate!

[@Selfsufficientme]

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. Grilled or sushi might be considered healthier by some, but it also depends on what we eat or drink with it hey... All the best with your channel 👍

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Thanks mate! Awesome, I'll have to do it more often then!

Jas McCullough Yeah I reckon I got lucky there. But spot on, the Sea Hunt is great for solo fishing, makes it very easy 🍻🍻

[@notrophyhuntersallowed4231]

Fascinating

[@pittmanfh]

Great fishing and the food looks delicious. I had no clue about bleeding the fish until seeing a few vids. After this one I looked it up. That fish you cleaned and cooked looks like one I would certainly purchase in the fish market. I've never eaten dolphin fish.

[@amasterfishing5544]

Very nice dollies and wahoo, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Sammy.

[@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.

[@justinc3434]

Merry Christmas great fish

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Thanks mate, same to you!

[@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!!!

[@robberlin2230]

Epic Hitzkernator, smashed it with some quality fish, you never have to fish alone again you know that right??!! Haha, well done!

I caught 3 big Dollies in Bali years ago, we ate like Kings and were treated the same because I donated the fish to the housekeeping staff where we were staying. They loved us for it. Def top 5 table fish - in the world. Ate heaps of it in Hawaii where it’s very common. Merry Christmas 👍🏻🍺🍺🍺🍺🎣🎣

Awesome Video!

[@harryisaac4833]

Finally a video where the catch is taken home cooked and enjoyed it really gets so boring when all these fisherman do is catch the fish and put them back i just don't see the point id rather see how they prepare their catch when they get home at least you can get some hints on different ways in witch you can prepare your catch of the day that's what i call awesome fishing i like to take my catch home and shear with family and friends
