You Don't Need a Fancy Boat! Huge Pompano! Authentic Jamaican Brown Stew! Catch Clean Cook

In this episode James and I head out past the reef aboard our Hurricane Deck Boat. It's not our usual fishing boat but since the Freeman was running a charter and the X3 was getting work done we had to take something! We grabbed a handful of live baits from the cage and went out in search of African Pompano! Luck was on our side as it didn't take long to get a bite! Back at home Jamaican Mike comes over and makes his authentic Jamaican Brown Stew with some fresh african pompano! Enjoy
