World's MOST Expensive Bait! Live Lobster for GIANT Cubera Snapper (Catch Clean Cook)

Every year thousands of cubera snapper spawn off Florida's coast during the late summer full moons. This usually coincides with the opening of the Florida spiny lobster season. We went and caught our own spiny lobster for bait, then dropped them on various wrecks to target the largest snapper species in the world! Lobster are on the of the most expensive baits you can use in the world, but the catch is worth it!

being self aware and not throwing back the shark bitten fish is the absolute best fishing i liketo see! makes me so happy seeing people practice and preach good behavior when fishing.

[@over1498]

Just be aware it’s illegal to keep an undersize or off season fish even if it’s been attacked by a shark before u landed it and won’t survive

[@oneinvegas4431]

Using plastic zip ties on a lobster if lost in a fish i wouldn't say is the best practice behavior in fishing.

[@SharkDiscovery-US]

I completely agree! It's so satisfying to see anglers practice responsible fishing by not releasing shark-bitten fish. I've witnessed the gruesome aftermath of careless practices before, and it's heartbreaking.

[@nickbruns8354]

Thanks for showing the overcooking! too many people obsess over perfection, but it's a great way to relate and be authentic in your work.

[@edwardbranch3520]

Awesome video Viktor! From sea to table… catch your bait, catch your fish, clean your fish, cook and eat your fish. You and Brooke are killing it! Well done sir. You guys stay safe out there!

[@jacobeccles5127]

Went offshore for the first time in Costa Rica this past year. I caught my first Mahi and a friend of mine caught a cubera. That thing was such good eating wow. I'm from Louisiana used to just fishing salt lakes and a couple miles into the gulf. What a trip, nice fish man. Video was great!

[@susieq23]

I love you & Brook & watch your videos. I watch one after another. I just finished watching the Belize tournament,..I just found your videos and started watching fishing videos a month or so ago. I love it for so many reasons. I love the water, boating and water sports. I lived in FL for five years but my condo was blown away by Hurricane Charlie. I'm about to purchase a camper and I'm planning to drive down the coast, spend some time on both coast and of course the Keys. I love being in, on, and around the water and the beach. I have been fishing throughout my life but I've learned so much watching your shows. Your videos are so enjoyable as well as Brooke's. You both seem so personable, genuinely kind, and fun-loving. You're about the age of my youngest son I think I'd like to be around at a tournament that you're fishing one day and it'd be so great to meet you . Wishing you all the best in life, which you've got a wonderful start on already. Oh yes, something that I really like is how sweet you are to Brook you are a real man in love, not afraid to tell her and the world how much you love her. I want to wish you both a life of true love and happiness. I'm envious of that, but I've had that part of my life and it didn't work out. What I do have from that is two wonderful sons, five grandsons and one granddaughter. That is a life fulfilled. I end by saying because I was once into horseback riding, Happy Trails, To you and Brook, Happy Fishing Ellen 🎣 🦦 🐟🎉

[@Vibrotronic]

Yes! My wife and I are salivating over your cooking. Great job!

[@streetfit909]

A day after watching your video, the idea came to me to ziptie the second hook to the back tail (further back) instead of sticking it in. It think it would maximize your chances as there really would be no way to bite the tail off without the hook, which seems to happen quite a bit. (And it would keep the tail stronger and moving around more naturally.) Great videos!

[@josefandino9374]

That fish was not burnt man that is perfect!!! That pasta looks awesome!!!

New to your channel. But honestly really enjoying your content. Your tone and demeanor when you speak is so calming and draws you in you which is very different than other fishing channels. Really love the time and effort you put into your content.

[@Doodsaplenty]

I am drooling over that meal! Great video👍

[@mattricci3694]

Your ability to experiment and try new things in the kitchen is amazing! I never would have thought to make a pasta sauce out of those pureed vegetables like that! The cook is the hardest critic of their own food, my wife tells me all the time how delicious my cooking is and I'm always like, oh, I could have done this better, or I over cooked it.... Sometimes you just have to take the compliment and enjoy your "not perfect" DELICIOUS meal! Great vid, I love when you do new/uncommon techniques or target new/uncommon species!

[@CrimeVid]

Criticising your own cooking is part of the whole thing, I don’t think I have ever cooked a meal I was 100% happy with.

[@CrimeVid]

It is a worrying thing to do, targeting breeding creatures, usually there is a close season to stop exploitation.

[@gradybrowning3976]

I thought the fish looked Perfect! Love that little Char!

Brook has been working out 🔥💯 That anchor probably costs more than the bait

[@BucksSuperStereoWorld]

Brooke is a beautiful person all around.

[@alejandrot7425]

Vik loving this Bro!

[@gio7835]

Quality is nuts

[@anthonyramirez9315]

That's why you give the fish good color and put it in to finish cooking while you plate the pasta ... But still looking good ... Good job

[@independentthinker709]

There's a cleat inside the chain locker to tie the end of the anchor rope to so you don't loose it! Ask your Dad, he knows where it is, it's his boat.

[@saenole66]

Fun trip. The cubera spot off Miami is on the drop off next to the whistling buoy east of broad creek . I fished with one of my more successful friends in his 54’ Bertram. We caught one small fish about twenty pounds. We dined on thick steaks in the salon. The fanciest fishing trip I ever went on.

[@mattshanks2604]

You are the man Victor!!!

[@hawaiianadventurefishing8079]

That was crazy I would never think you could use lobster for bait ❤❤❤❤❤ absolutely amazing

[@PatriotCoinRings]

Just came home with some Big Blue Fin Tuna last week ranging 40-175 lbs each. It was a 2 day trip out of Mexico on the Pacific side launched out of San Diego but limited both day limits on my first day. I actually slept in on my second day since I couldn't catch anymore and there were no other open water pelagics around trying to find anything else. Maybe I should have re-hooked on a big rig system to see what I could have caught using one of my smallest Blue Fin as bait which would have been "The World's Most Expensive Bait" sequel...lol 😲 Oh, I did miss out on a rare occurrence, I had two "Massive"Mola mola sunfish actually following in a Blue Fin I was realling in and they were so huge we thought they were big sharks coming in with those dorsals out of water. I've never reeled one in, have no idea what they would taste like, but the following day on Western Outdoor News they reported a record Mola mola caught and brought in so I'm assuming some do in fact eat them and looking at the size of his "record Mola mola", I'd really argue that the two which came in just 10' feet off the stern side of our charter boat were easily as large and looking back, I should have passed my tuna off to another fisherman and grabbed another rod for a fast cast to try and catch one because they were just chillin' next to the boat as if just watching what was going to happen to that Tuna and never left until it was finally gaffed and carried out of the water onto the boat.

[@80884bpresley]

Awesome video guys!!! Great catch and awesome dinner with friends

Here in Australia, although we mainly use hands to catch them, you can get away with just using a lacrosse stick😅😅😅

You're catching the George Costanza's of the Cubera snapper world....nothing better than spawning and eating lobster at the same time..!!!

Over here in Aus we call them reef Jack. Mangrove Jack. When the mangrove jack get bigger they leave the creeks and head out to the reef and get real big.

We always caught our own which sucked because it limits you to lobster season but that's over 30 years ago used a 4/0 or 6/0 Penn senator with hurricane rods!!!!! Is there anyone else that remembers catching them the old way on deep wrecks with old gear no high gear ratio!!! Don't get me wrong I love the video!!!!!!❤

A 3d scan and mould of one of these spiny lobsters to make a large soft plastic or segmented hard body would be nice to jig! I’m not familiar with that fish but looking at the way it’s built, it’ll probably destroy a jig!

[@cheshirecat4385]

Hi what sharpener you use for sharpening of your Dexter's?

[@AliexFolgueira]

that fight in spinning probably was the greatest! i still remember when i caught my first big cubera, it was 5 years ago! crazy fight! hey should you bleed all fish?

[@DiabetoDan]

No reason not to, it's only gonna improve the meat. That said, it's much more important/noticeable with some fish than others. Mackerel and anything in the tuna or jack family especially.

bigger = more chance of ciguatera ? or is it by region like more found near cuba?

[@brandonsurrarrer8283]

Try putting the lobster on backwards hook it from the tail first and then head facing out if they eat it tail first they'll always eat the hook first

[@vincentrussell7246]

I've told many U- tubers about Brooks lobster net don't know why everyone hasn't bought one yet because as the video shows they work and work well great videos haven't watched one in awhile but all of your videos including Brooks are off the chain

[@thomaskonradyjr1142]

Was that a red grouper or Nassau grouper in the beginning? All and all good stuff! Many generations have fished those moons all over Florida. Much better bait than food!

[@dirtmcgirt8240]

Does Cap charter or guide? Be down in Aug and looking to check a Cubera off my bucket list.

[@dismalproject1974]

what pound test you using on the lobster bait rigs?

[@krisburchfield8463]

I was under the impression you can not use treble hooks when bottom fishing natural baits. Is that now allowed? Thanks for the great videos.

[@jovanisergey]

i believe its just reef fish you have to use a circle hook but i also believe cubera is a reef fish so idk

[@geoffhenson9913]

Pretty sure Cubera is a reef fish and trebles with live bait are not allowed. I say give some grace… he releases a lot of fish too.

[@nialltalbot]

It’s sad that your anchor got lost, but hey, at least you still caught some giant Cubero snapper

I have and love the 7" blade you were using in this video. a shorter blade fore a limit of bluegill with serrations for scales and spine would be amazing. Faster than switching knives. Also far less wasteful than the electric knives. I love your content bud. Thank you for another great video. Cheers from Michigan.

Why would you not go back to get your anchor as you were diveing to get bait why not to retrieve your anchor in day light. Just wondering.
