We ATE This Shark on the Rocks - Surprising Taste (Plus GIGANTIC Ray Caught)!

Hi guys, welcome back today. I'm with the outdoor chef life and James and we're going

shark

fishing. I'll take you fishing for your first guardian

shark

s. I'll show you what we're going to use. I have my ten foot eight die. Wah SP surf rod I'm going to use a slide rig or a probe rig I have a 65 pound braided line pulling a steel leader with a seven of our bliss hook and a 6,000 feather battle reel we have

this

perch we

caught

as bait a while back so I personally like to use the head part of a fish so the bait stays super good so I'm just going to stick

this

Faurot barbless hook in and we'll pull it out one thing you want to do is loosen it up your drag make sure it comes out real easy for the big shark to bite you it's a you know it won't pull your pull into the water I think it's a great day to go shark fishing because the conditions look pretty good it's low tide , TRUE?

It's hot now it looks like in the warmer months the sharks move into this little bay here the co efficient heading is not very strong so it will approach the lowest tide by negative 0.3 and then at 6 o'clock it only goes up to 3 and a half feet or so, so it's not a very strong inflow or outflow. or outside, that means the current is not going to pull very strong while we wait for a shark bite. I noticed some ripples in the water and I think it's a big fish like a big stingray, shark or I might know a seal and while we're waiting for a bite we're also fishing for some bait.

There's some smell here in the bay. A little snow Jack. I think we'll see, yeah. fresh bait, that's right and just looking around, we saw all kinds of things, you can see Dungeness crab here, there are clams, gawking clams here. Oh, it

caught

me and we also found other types of fish that inhabit this small bay. that was a fish sure they're around here do it there is something over here yeah oh there it's dude oh that's too fast whoa he finally laughs yeah dude how does it feel? stop fighting a lot it's not there it's what's going on here yeah focus on taku taku bring it this way yonder look how hard this fish is pulling Taku it looks like it almost knocked him in the water he's got a big fish on the other end of this line dude i haven't seen it yet plus i think it's a ray dude by the way he's fighting i think so I don't see much head movement and it's so heavy I think it's ready bro oh I can't even see it's almost there man oh it's a ring ray oh he's a huge bat-ray oh my gosh this guy's huge this guy's huge this guy's huge he's got a scale like 67lbs ladies arms barely go up with those arms you know what what that means about that from Ray it's crazy how sticky they are yeah mate we sure so your arms move ling ok huh yeah ok now we barely have enough time to recover here we go come on another rate coming , small rate. this thing compared to what we had before this guy is small they make all these good stuff sounds they're barbless hooks so you literally want to get the hooks out? here we go yes ma'am boy later and it's easy wait yes is he in oh no what excuse me yes i think he's very different from you this was a start oh no ballet , not another ray today thank you look look how small this one compares to what we caught earlier.

I can hold it with one hand and the other was that I couldn't, I couldn't. Get up buddy yeah pull your lysing because it's like he's going to get a tan. Oh no oh way close to shore is that shark pull your line though man it's right here now oh boy let's see let's see oh it's pulling me oh that's perfect come on I knew it because of the headaches, yes, hello, well, that was much more nervous, son, it's a tooth. I wonder what it's like to have this guy. I have a scale. Yes, we also need a tape measure. measure this guy, but this guy is definitely legal to keep it straight.

This guy is definitely legal to keep thirty six inches. It is a minimum length to keep these leopard sharks. I've heard they

taste

really good but I've never tried it so we're definitely going to try this leopard shark today and I have chef Taku here with me outdoor chef life and that's what we're doing trying this leopard shark, TRUE? I've never had it right. We have a three foot tape measure, okay? well that's the bare minimum yeah oh yeah that If it's more than three Flint sure thirty six is ​​here probably a perfect size to keep so 36 36 is here and this is I don't know , I will say at least 40 inches, right?

I'm 44 you see yeah 42 is another 12 yeah probably more than 4 to see yeah so yeah 48 48 inches 48 inches we have a lot more time to catch more so yeah I'll catch his release from now on but still you're in you know we're hungry yes we're hungry we're we're hungry we've got to make some food out of this so before I decide to eat this fish of course I'm going to check its conservation status. the leopard shark Taku is going to fillet the shark which is a bite or a lot of the current super strong but we're going to fillet the shark hook and eat it has been dispatched we've bled it gutted and it's uh we're ready to fillet him and eat him that's crazy beep all his internal organs are out he's bleeding out and he's still fine I don't think I know I think it's a nervous system thing so when you poke him you know you put him in your hands and his eyes are like yes and when you try to flip it it takes away all these fees so to be honest i have never filleted a shark nor have i ever eaten shark anyway i will just plan like a normal fish the interesting thing is a snow huh kind of snow i don't know some people say sharks smell like ammonia not sure if that's sarah oh they smell like ammonia but they definitely have a very distinctive smell even though i don't have any of my actual knives with me.

I don't have this cheap fillet knife, well that meat is really very white like very white. that to be honest but the Magenta one is so fresh and we bleed it right away super white this one for later wow that's really cool I actually took loans yeah take this ribcage off me yeah it looks really , very good, it seems that I COD. don't know yeah it feels a pretty firm groove here let's try to test a little bit of b is on this chart dude it's good haha ​​you know that's really good that's good that's crazy yeah the thing is really, really firm, actually, yes, very firm.

I just took a piece. firm fish but that's really good it's closed game rock fish yeah come try this doesn't

taste

like it smells at all yeah okay mate that's really really good

surprising

ly i'm trying to think of the best use of adjectives for this but I feel like it tastes and is like a rock fish but the soup like the texture is not much firmer like super firm almost like a swordfish or I've had swordfish I'm in the surgeon but I know it's also a firmer fish but Man am I really very surprised and it tastes amazing.

I'm not going to lie, it tastes amazing. I don't know if it's because we haven't had lunch and this is our lunch. caught some mangoes it's here too nice spicy sweet girl leopard shark tacos with mango salsa this is going to be delicious this is going to be delicious do you like this mm-hmm oh my goodness if you know that in taco form it tastes like harder rock it is that's why i was saying like white meat pretty firm super firm honestly i never would have guessed i knew it was going to be firmer mmm but not really like that yeah actually very very good very good very good and so fact it has a little more flavor even than your run-of-the-mill hmm mmm that's good awesome so our first time your first time trying the program is your first time trying it you feel it yeah eating it yeah glad to Tried it, man mm-hmm, that's really good, yeah that's good, man, no I didn't know what to expect, calling to sleep, never had shark before, oh yeah yeah.
