this jetty is a DEAD FISH GRAVEYARD... that needs to change

Sometimes giant fish come close to land and if you're lucky you might get a shot at them. Boom kingfish and jacks on the jetties.
Also lots of dead fish near the rocks from bad releases...
Catch and cook kingfish.

Thanks to the guy with the gaff. Don't know his name but he was helping out a bunch of people. Ryan and jeff with the camera assist too. And yes I already purchased some spikes LOL.

[@2khighballers982]

ThresherFishing what are spikes?

[@texassportsoutdoors]

@@2khighballers982 So you dont bust your ass on the jetties.

[@jimmyjaimes5268]

Brother you rock. I always look forward to seeing your videos. Be safe and looking forward to seeing the next video.

[@whataboutbob9786]

Nice video. Good to see Jeff is still kicking with you!

[@ramonabishop6468]

Did I actually hear you say "oops a daisy" when you were trying to eat the fish? I didn't know anyone actually said that any more!! Love your videos! I live my fishing life vicariously through you.

[@alexanderh.5814]

Okey Dokey.

When king fish are that fresh it's good

[@avocado3764]

I want to buy merch from you already! 😫

[@garryolson6570]

What I like about you, you respect the sport and especially the fish. I've seen you on multiple occasions getting into the water because a fish wasn't going to make it on it's own. You nursed them and either forced water through their gills or you had to pin them to alleviate the air. Tight lines, brother.

[@BoBandyy]

1:03 oh lawd that transition

[@Mr._L30.]

Thank you for finally showing your suggestion on venting a fish. Thanks Cooper.

[@amitachalal85]

Great video man. I am from Trinidad. King fish is a really prized fish here. Would love to know what lure is your most sucessfull with them. Thanks.

[@robertschneider1977]

Kingfish on the grill are my favorite way. They just come out buttery with a good charcoal smoke.

[@mrwolf1859]

I’ve seen ppl say if you cook the Kings to long they’ll get chewy and tough, we brought home 3 kings and they were right. The longer you cook the tougher they get, pan sear then wrap in foil with spices and in the oven around 300 for about 20-30mins. Keep killin’em and stay safe out there.

[@tigershark812]

I also caught 2 monsters today!!! Blessings from the fish God's🙏🙏🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣well done bro!👍

[@ChasinTailTampaBay]

I steak the kings and marinate them in teriyaki sauce and put them right on the grill Delicious!

[@joegarcia1674]

I make my own marinade with a white wine vinaigrette. Works out pretty good. Just be easy with the vinegar

[@MrTumbleweed]

Isnt venting for huge changes in atmospheric pressure? I have a feeling those fish were gut hooked or something. Unless you have a crazy 100+ foot drop off at that jetty?

[@phantomfreer7519]

Have u ever gone fishing for tarpon? If not it will be one of the best fights I promise

[@domfecit]

Coop you're killing it! The drone footage of those Jacks though..It's videos like these that compel me month after month to support you on Patreon. Keep putting in work and grinding it out.

[@ovanraze5641]

I always love to be the first comment on a great channel

[@logisticsnail5014]

YAAAY NEW VID always happy to see you upload!

[@BleedingSoul4]

I think I saw you in Port Aransas on the Jetty one day last summer with your camera set up. As you were leaving I was asking if you were the guy from California I think. I am so sorry, I only saw your videos a few times and didn't remember which one of the fishing videos I saw you from.

[@ThresherFishing]

LOL I remember that.

[@braydenkeith1710]

Hey Coop, love the vids and the crazy amount of camera and editing work that goes into these. Never give it up brother 🤙

[@RadReelingFishing]

Looks like your spot’ getting crowded. All those people on unemployment these days. Awesome video!

[@47veilside]

I’m happy that you catch fish when you use lures it give me hope. I am new to surf fishing and I have been using lures for the past two weeks and not a single catch. I’ve used the ones similar to what u showed the this video. But nothing bits them. I use between 2oz to 3oz top water poppers and semi sinking lures because my rod is rated between 2-6oz lures. Idk if I’m doing. Anything wrong. Maybe I need to try smaller lures on a lower action rod.

[@snouser61]

I just finished watching a cavy video and that made those lures look tiny lol

[@thecharli1574]

I wish we had that water in Galveston haha. It’s crazy how it’s so close yet so different

[@larrynichols2113]

Thats a lucky day 😂 for when it looks like that its usually chocolate milk here

[@darkreelaction]

Bro you make your videos feel like a movie. Your drone footage and shots are unreal!!! Please never stop!!!!

[@myfavoritespider]

I know runescape music when I hear it 🔥

[@brandonmay1630]

How deep are those reds? I’ve never had to vent one and I’ve caught them pretty deep. However, after a good fight, they need to be hand-eased back in.

[@teapitibonglord1219]

Great video bro keep up the good content coming from Australia 🤙

[@FishiganMilligan]

How are you giving this guy a thumbs down? Seriously? 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@theloneangler3320]

Hey!! The other guy who’s fishing videos I love to watch. I hope to see a Thresherfishing/Fishigan Milligan collab soon.

[@spivel127g.2]

Was it just me i got super hyped when everyone in the shot was hooked up! Idk why i just went off!! 😂😂😂

[@javierreinaldobarbosa6515]

Muy buena pesca!!!!!! En qué playa o por qué zona es? Saludos desde argentina

[@funknatious8399]

THANK YOU for discussing the venting/fizzing tool. If there were ever two under-covered topics in the fishing community they would be venting a fish to prevent barotrauma, and how to properly use a VHS radio. And while venting is never 100% successful in deep water, it can greatly improve mortality rates. For a deep water jetty situation the venting tool is the best option while in a boat in deeper water, a descending drop rig is better. Thanks for helping save the fishies!

[@ClownfishUSA]

Man brother you had us all freaking out in Facebook today . Glad your okay and keep those vids coming !!! Woooooooo

[@Bfresh99]

At 5:36 All three guys in the video are hooked up, that's good stuff!

[@ScuttlesPlays]

Just got back from trying to surf fish pins for my first time and it was a flop. Anybody have advice for how/where to fish pins?

[@rickrodriguez2005]

Been told big shell is great this time of year. Now I've never been down there myself dont have 4x4 and it's needed to get there. About 25 miles from beach access onto PINS is big shell beach. You can spot it on Google. There is also little shell beach. Which is about 15 miles down. Watch tides and soft sand in these areas. Go prepared bud.

[@roddyrich2335]

Kingfish are great! I like to use a lemon/garlic butter seasoning for them

[@bradyg333]

Loved the action, thanks for keeping it real with fish bladder info. Appreciated.

[@theloneangler3320]

Oh man.. I'm dying... Then POW!!!!.... Bet you alive now?!?! 😂😂😂👍💜✝️🎣🇺🇸

[@wahdefyahball]

King Fish is actually a highly desireable fish here in Trinidad and Tobago. Nice firm flesh, holds seasoning really well. Sells sometimes up to 100TT (15USD) per pound. Keep up the good work and dem OSRS Vibes man!

[@jdguevara4208]

Way to go Coop . Get the word out.

[@guerradad2427]

My Abuela cooks Cuban style King Fish Steaks with fresh Garlic and Cilantro. I love King Fish because it reminds me of my sweet Abuelita but I can never duplicate her recipe!! Love your videos my dude!!

[@larryadams6346]

Great videos........The slick rock.........My mom is over 100 now and won't be out on the jetty anymore, but she still crappie fishes. A few years back she slid down I believe on that same rock you did while catching piggys for bait......Fell into the sea urchins!! Some sea urchin spines lodged and broke off in her wrist at that point where the hand and all the nerves connect. Had to have micro surgery by a hand specialist in Corpus. Still was a good trip!....Keep up the videos!

[@zaigar111]

I haven't eaten king mackerel yet, but have heard that it is hard to mess up! LOL Honestly, have heard it has great flavor.... Grilled, fried, blackened or other. And a damn good fight as well! Love your vids Coop! Keep up the great work!!

[@cjharrin]

Do not vent a fish unless youve pulled them up from 50ft-100ft or more (minimum). Please use CIRCLE hooks folks. When you gut hook fish and don’t have the knowledge to properly unhook you will have a dead fish

[@Dynamoe1836]

I got here to Port A when this video dropped, and within an hour it started raining and the water is all churned up still :( that’s just my luck...the fishing was tough these past two days here in Port A....I am 100 pct sure that when I go back home tomorrow, things will clear up, green water will come back and Jacks and Kings will be back....and then I’ll be 200 miles away :(

[@Jbay2608]

Man what a fishing spot, I'd love to have a spot like that local to me. We call the kingfish 'couta here, one of my favourite fish to eat when I can get some.

[@jacobkoerner3687]

They look similar, but I think you’re confusing barracuda to king fish. Kingfish are more like mackerel, though they do kinda look like ‘cuda

[@poplit8422]

Its not that they aren't good to eat, it's bad to eat for your body. It has high levels of mercury and is dangerous to eat. Hospital dangerous. PLEASE try to eat this fish once a month at MINIMUM🙏❤ Fire video tho🔥🔥💯

[@brickli7742]

Get a penn battle 3 it’s out

[@fishingwithjace567]

[@GustafsonBrandon]

Your drone shots are absolutely incredible! Great video as always!

[@daviddura1172]

Great PSA at the end..... people need to be responsible..... it’s not an infinite resource..... Sometimes I think people should have to pass a test to get a license and have/show a license to buy equipment.... watch enough lone star law and see all the “I didn’t know “ responses to getting caught unlicensed with $$$ equipment or licenced with lots of illegal fish.... sorry ... just a rant....feel better now.

[@randyprovost8426]

Thresher long time subscriber first time commentor. Love your videos! Going to retire from the Army in a couple years and I def want to move to the Texas coast area. What parts of Corpus would you recommend living at? I will have a 10 year old so I'd like a good school for him. Thanks.

[@DunhamOutdoors]

Hey bro I love your channel. You are one of the creators that inspired me to make my own channel. Do you have any advice on how to grow my channel? I’m trying to hard to just keep creating content with what I have. I’m trying so hard to hit the 1000 subs and 4000 hrs. What tips do you have for a new KZbinr? Also I fish surfside, Quintana, Sargent, Matagorda, and all the bays in between a lot so I’d love to do a meetup sometime and fish together. I look forward to hearing from you

[@discobiscuits2100]

Hey man, are you okay? They just pulled a kayak in Corpus up. A man drowned. The kayak looks exactly like yours. Just checking in.

[@sparkyjones560]

Kingfish is FINE if you filet, skin and remove the blood line. It's really fishy if you don't do that. You can bake it, fry it in a pan. Can't cook them whole unless you like really strong tasting and smelling fish.

[@adamsmith8533]

Nice job coop. That kingfish looked tasty. I still think you should fish with lil red Heidi hood. Check out her vids. Y'all would make a good couple.

[@ChewingToons]

They eat Kingfish and Spanish Mackeral a lot in India. They gut it, stuff it and cook it whole. Tastes great. Meaty texture.

[@jj-and-a-rod4999]

♥️♥️♥️♥️ 🎣

[@ramlns]

Take a drive southward and give a try to the SPI jetties. You have the “home field” advantage where you fish. Let’s see them skills in unfamiliar waters. And maybe interact with a few fans down here.

[@freedomfishing989]

I miss Port A! I’m a fan man if I were to visit home I hope I run into you!

[@joegarcia1674]

It's awesome that you teach a little bit. Keep rockin man

[@jj-and-a-rod4999]

Love this channel 🙏🏼

[@uruvilaathakarjanan9996]

the tail bone = you could have cooked it whole withOUT removing the bones & skin. it is these 2 that helps to give full flavour & crispyness to the dish.

[@lousiffer5289]

A lot of people dont realize those kings only taste good if you have 99 cooking and at least 92 fishing. Stay educated BrOtHeR

[@31prime9]

Great video just subbed especially because your from down south like me 👍👍

[@taramccaskill6312]

Great advise on proper handling of fish. I'll also note that many people (nearly all except myself that I have seen) keep this larger fish out too long. It seems like a mix of excitement and exhaustion but we must always be mindful of fish we aren't going to harvest. Get them landed, get them prepped for release and get them back in the water.

[@texas_boy1879]

Great editing coop representing the 361 Well! ✊🏽

[@Gary65437]

Great job and video. Get an electric carving knife to make processing your fish much faster and easier.

[@breakingdaniel84]

Yoooo!

Question? We’res some good places for inland fishing I can take my son in the Rockport, port a and north padre island Texas area.

[@blownZ713]

kingfish is not bad, ive had it raw too wit soy sauce. u just need to know how to prep. ive froze kingfish steaks and hadem a couple weeks later and still good👍🏾

[@HAL03IZMLG]

literally who is downvoting his videos?! Who did you cross up on the court to get them butt hurt enough to dislike? Keep up the great content man! amazing edits!

[@michaelpena1848]

Came a long way since your first video lol do your sit back and watch how much you have progressed?

[@allentruitt8632]

Take those filets, add ciabatta buns w/mayo and cole slaw and you've got yourself a meal. Cole slaw on the sandwich, not as a side.

[@thatrandomguy8530]

I saw a post on 210 fishing on Facebook about someone who drowned at port a on a paddle board that looked exactly like yours glad to see it wasn’t you

[@TheSilverstonedwolf]

Even if they do pass the fish does go back into nature. The crabs will love it. And other fish species and even birds. Unfortunately, who ever released it should take care of your catch. Usually when the fish is tossed on the bank and left there is when it gets ridiculous

[@stevehogan8829]

hahaaha everybody there is hooked up..What a beauty man... What a resource you have over there... Making me jealous.

[@donaldbonanno4852]

Hi Coupe it's the 73 year old white guy just wanted to say good to see you back again I haven't seen one of your videos and a while I like how you like saving fish not too many young people will do it but you are a true fisherman catch you later

[@toddhopkins2519]

You talked about the "fishy" taste of the meat. Not sure if you have done it before, but when you do keep a fish and have ice on hand during warm times, cut the gills in the right spot and let the fish bleed out. That will help a lot with the taste. Keep up the great work.

[@originalShea550]

gotta love the Old School runescape music. Add me in game! Shea550

[@macguyver8698]

Can you get a Geiger counter and check fish and water next time just because may be very interesting stuff.

[@pharoh1378]

If your every worried about the fishy taste, soak the fillets in butter milk for a couple of hours then rinse and spice and cook.

[@kenojablo]

I highly doubt it's from not having the right tools. Not enough people give a shit, my dude. 😏

[@snotbubbles3276]

King Fish are great to eat, they just contain high levels of mercury. So you dont want to eat them often or if pregnant.

[@larrytischler570]

[@fishingwithsam7526]

That's cool brother thank you I didn't know fish can't float up and you need a special tool

[@HWW147]

Another great video Here in Australia we call your King fish mackerel and iced and bleed are good eating Best left for a day or 2 in the fridge allowes the flesh settle Then the flavour is so much better But left in the sun and not iced when caught the oils go ransent that sends the flavour off .

[@robertingram7946]

Those bull reds need a lot of reviving. It's not a depth issue. People are just too lazy to take the time to revive them properly.
