How to Catch MONSTER Mutton Snapper Fishing Key Largo | Catch N Cook

belly here Chucky is stuck down there telling you I'm having fun right now he's big he's a big Barracuda I've decided I'm going to try to land him if he's going to ruin my day I'm going to ruin his day and I can use him as bait so he can make up for the fish who just stole for me. I could use it to

catch

more fish on that rack, there are so many of these guys. Down there, a thirty-pound monkey hasn't managed to break it yet. The people who say that using wire makes fun of it is difficult to move.

It's heavy. It's true. I have to bring it to the, okay, if I can bring it up here, I have the hook right here. Let's move. this rod down, it's probably scaring every

snapper

in a quarter mile right now, okay, here we go, hook moment, moment of truth, ah. shoot just out of my range just out of my range I'll

catch

it this time I wasn't ready okay, I didn't get it close enough okay here you go oh don't hit the boat, let's go on a hike Oh use your inner strength, right? now the one handed

monster

gasps OH ok that's how you land a barracuda in solo mono no problem guys no problem there we have it.

I think it's a 30 pound mono, yes 30 pound, pure mono and it will be a deep bait. I'm so excited about this guy, he's huge, oh well look my hook came off right at the end, it just clicked and popped up, so cool, put one of those hooks back in and try again. I guess this guy. He comes over and shows me a nice juicy fish a little tail that's what's up hey man night that guy's

fishing

for grouper he just showed me a nice grouper and he's hanging around here that's what I gotta do next and the problem with

fishing

alone I spend more time rewriting all my stuff constantly than there actually is a line in the water, if there are two people here at least there will always be a line in the water tank that just breaks, are you kidding me finally after 20 minutes of chaos and put it back together, I'll leave it right in the same spot where the other mangrove was, oh yeah, I've got something on that piece of ballyhoo, ah, nice mangrove

snapper

, this is what we're looking for guys, I'm actually very relieved , very happy that it is. an attractive, beautiful and juicy mangrove, exactly thirty centimeters, goes in a nice box.

It might be time for me to eat some

cook

ies. I can see a big mangrove down there, like a

monster

. I just gotta lure them to take my ballyhoo, fresh, ballyhoo, fresh belly, whoo 25 cents, come get it, get your new ballyhoo at the magic boat stand Hyksos pikas no hooks or gimmicks oh this feels good yeah this se feel very good would see how hotel and would attract one two what are the possibilities? I thought only babies hung out here in the shallow water. I guess not, it's almost 14 inches so it's definitely outgrown the legal lemon.

He's not a monster, but he is a juicy goose. I'm going to cut their tails. I'm going to cut the tail off the Barracuda's head and put it on. Back in the water here is the pink barracuda tail, we don't need it for bait and we don't need the head either when you throw big chunks of fish into the water like that and they stay on the bottom. when I go spearfishing it tends to attract grouper and the group just relaxes so maybe we can catch a grouper before the sun goes down there it's the Barracuda head get there very sweet caster uh, jump, so I'll go. down there and soon we'll probably have a very big grouper, okay, let's make another fresh piece of ballyhoo here mmm, so fresh I almost want to eat it right, as you can see the Chum bag is sinking almost straight. because there's no current right now, it's pretty much calm tide, which isn't very good for patrie fishing because you want your buddy to ride the current so all the fish can pile up behind the boat and it looks like all the fish are like directly under the boat, just a small hotel and ballyhoo, but I'm still sure there's something down there for us, half a very fresh ballyhoo, now I hope we can produce something here with this guy, so you want to know how to find lots of fishing. places in your area I would suggest checking out FL fishing spots.

Don't worry, they have maps of almost all of Florida, all areas covered, those maps for Key Largo, in the middle of the keys, now in Key West Indian River, they have the Gulf side, they have in the Jacksonville area. you have Mosquito Lagoon where the redfish bass are showing tons of maps on that site you can plug it right into your sim rat or Garmin or whatever GPS device you have or you can put it on your computer and you can get Google Earth and actually put all the dots on it and you will be able to fly and look at them.

Each spot will tell you the depth, the type of fish they catch, the baits, you should do it and I'm not going to lie to myself just this stretch from Eldorado to Key. Long, there are probably over 250 points marked on that map. You will never run out of places to fish. Instead, ask me where exactly I fish. If you want GPS coordinates. Oh okay, I just tuned in here while I was explaining where Florida is. the fishing spots were about what kind of funny I hope it's not a barracuda, well let's see what we have here.

I don't even have my sunglasses on right now, so I can't even see anything. I'd let it go, thank you. well in the middle of me talking about where to find places to fish I got a little bite there but I was fighting it, it was like one hand trying to reel it in, in other hands I tried to put on my GoPro so I got off and I'll keep fishing. I'm going to put it somewhere on the boat, okay, I took the weight off, so now it's just um, maybe five feet of mono, thirty pound mono that goes right into braiding, no weight or anything, and I'm just going to leave let this guy float back naturally. the current of which there isn't much of so they will sink more, hopefully this will look more natural and attract more bites, oh here we go, oh another yellowtail, oh I'm going to catch so many fusses that no longer I need squid, so I'll start eating with that squid, oh yeah, here we go, that's how you get fresh belly that throws all these nasty squid out there;

The end of the day is approaching, so it's time to go Chum heavy. get rid of everything, I also have this bag of leftover tuna, these pieces are really good for trolling, but I don't feel like bringing them home, this is my Deep Drop baby, I don't know why I brought that, that was stupid. I jumped like a dog and now I'm going to let my little piece of ballyhoo butterfly back off and hopefully we'll hook up with something nice and juicy. Here things got me, oh yeah, I think he's a grouper still standing, still standing, he's trying to leave.

He's trying to go towards the rocks over there, yeah, he's trying to go straight towards the rock, okay, he's a little tired, now they'll come in a little faster, come on, please, look at his grouper, okay, look what could be this, it's a kind of swimming. weird like surf, it could be a shark, just like a very stubborn strong fish, but it's trying to go towards the rocks, which makes me feel like it could be a grouper, it's a monster snapper, monster snapper, no joke, monster, yes, guys, yes. guys, that's how we do it, that's how we do it, yeah, that's what happens when you go to the right places, line up freely, line up with that cool man and you'll hook up with the big stud, make a joke of snow with muffins.

I'm going to end it, I bet there's a big fish out there, but I'm not really going to make any scratches. I'm going to throw another line. Look at him, he's just getting cold. I need to size this guy up. Where is my period? Oh, he is more. 24 inches, you can see it's like 27 and a half, you could probably stretch it to 28 if you're trying to get desperate, but no, this is a beautiful fishing hole, very beautiful fish that Chum brought in, quantity, very friendly, that's it the key, my friend. I should make a song about it, well I sent a picture of this out and asked if he likes my bun.

I wonder what he'll say tonight. We will definitely be eating fried snapper cubes today, that's for sure. I thought that was how it would be. A few buckets of mangrove snapper were heard. I think we can all agree. It's time to make lamb cubes. That's a big old fish. There is a monster. It's incredibly huge. Look at this thing. Well, I think I brought too small a cooler. Yes, he sure makes others like him. little guy, okay, perfect, yeah, okay, you might be wondering if that guy is putting out another bait. Yes, I am the sun that is setting.

I would love to put another trophy on the boat. If I catch another trophy, I'll probably release them honestly. Fellowship a little here with these pieces of the Valley and I'll throw a piece of mine, there we go, piece of fuss and all we're going to do is leave it free, line behind the boat, slide it, float with other pieces. I threw it out and the big one will come and pick it up, well I just put out the Chum bags which should hopefully be looking for some kind of feeding frenzy. I think I might have something here, oh oh, I'm on, oh shit, whatever it is. huge here I come oh god this must be another huge piece of lamb look what it is oh this is why I came here for a big old mangrove where's the net? oh it's right under me oh no it's another

mutton

okay now you got the hook out how big is the

mutton

snapper it has to be 16 inches why 16 and a half is a legal mutton snapper but you know what I caught that big one and that's a lot of meat for me, so I'll let this guy come back someday.

I'll come back for you when you're two or three times bigger, okay. Oh, something grabbed me again. This nothing is funny. I wonder what it could be. Oh, it's a grouper. Let's make this guy believe. That's a nice black grouper, baby black grouper, really attractive fish, with a nice big mouth, so they're very easy to work with, take the hook out of their mouth, boom, like that, okay, let it go back to the bottom, okay, just wash. I gave the boat a really nice wash, temporary wash, of course, of course, time to drop anchor, my favorite part, here we go, the engines run like two strokes, as you can see, so get the boat running a little easier for me. to attract the hacker line, okay, man, girl, on top, no, some monster.

I don't have much battery left in my GoPro, so I'm going to try to fillet it really quickly or I'll just show you how to fillet half of it. him since I only have like two minutes ago 400 left so this piece should be fun to look at you should have amazing colors these colors almost match the sunset okay I didn't bring my knife sharpener but I hope it is a lot easier job if the fish was a little straighter, flatten them a little, there we go, we just cut along the bones, okay, I'm trying to cut over the ribs, yeah, like to prevent, and this meat From here it's a little sticky to the ribs, which is fine, I'll cut it.

I'll remove that later, I'd like to fry that piece or something, peel it real quick, that's perfect, there you go, I removed most of the red meat. I'll cut back a little on this stuff that creates that fishy flavor that you know most people. I don't want to, so I'll cut it all up, a nice piece of lamb, let's fix it. We will make some fried lamb snapper cubes. Here are our two nice fat steaks. Well, you're right. I think these are the five best fish. oh yeah, it's Christmas, I had the spiciest one on the plate mmm
