We GRILLED This SHARK On The Spot *GRAPHIC WARNING* (Catch Clean and Cook)!!!

Alright, we're here pretty early and it's talking about low tide right now, low tide literally passed about half an hour ago and it's a negative seven foot tide point, but you can see behind me there's a channel of water right here. and we are. Looking for leopard

shark

s so I'll meet an outdoor life Taku Jocelin and James here and today we're going to

cook

a leopard

shark

but stay tuned to find out how we're going to do it if you guys have seen it. on my channel, that's how I like to fish them. I use a slip rig.

This is a fish finder put together with five ounce weights, some beads and then I have a steel leader. I used to have a steel leader but

this

is 85 pound test line about five feet and snell to a size 7 point look Taku and Jocelyn did it

this

guy isn't using any old Toro as bait totally I just

clean

ed my freezer last night and I found this old, very old, total old that you really want, of course, of course I would Jocelin Over here we have James down there and he's throwing out some ceviche trying to

catch

us some fresh bait, he's Okay, we're pretty much ready to go.

I'm just using a piece of fish head here and we're going to throw it away. When I go out fishing for sharks in the mud, I put my rod down properly, so I make sure to loosen the brake so that when the fish takes the bait it doesn't pull the rod into the water, here we go, okay, casting number two , this is a small A piece of fish tail here, across, there, it will be good, it will hate, we are fishing with the incoming tide, it peaked during low tide, yes, just over an hour ago, Good little ground markers, are these two sticks.

The water here later the tides will pass. I bet they are illegal. James found a small cast of a ghost shrimp. These guys dig in the mud and it's just a shell. When their exoskeleton name grows, they molt to become larger. and then they grow back, they kind of harden their shell, but yeah, there's just a little bit of shedding and this is a sweet sturgeon. Sturgeons love them, they're cool, let's see if we can sneak up on one of these clams. Here now you can literally see the lips. It'll be a little dark in there, but they're there, look at a bunch of these clamps here, they've got their siphon up and stuff, too bad it's illegal to plug this place up here right now, oh man, I'm stuck waiting for the shark bite, oh god .

I got it under this right at that come back for it oh man I gotta keep going oh yeah the obstacle course got my heart beating again good I think it's a good time to check my bait cause I got some little bites, come on You see and you can see the fog is moving away uh when the baits are still there but it doesn't really look like they've been chewed you'll probably buy some crab but the fog is moving away and I think once the water warms up a little. A little bit, these sharks and rays are going to come through and we

catch

some smelt here, so I look for fresh bait that's already in the natural environment and it's actually a lot of fun to fish on these little ceviche rigs.

Can you see this one jump? the water and I go for two by two two casts and I can smell and we basically have enough bait for the whole day the tacos have a little, you know, something there, here we go, they're over here now because we just saw a A couple of poles they get loose James's hook was taken Taku alone, yeah, this big bite, so now they're around here yeah, just when it's getting warm, look at this fog, it's leaving. Oh, baby, you fool, talking, you just got a big, huge bite again. I guess my call, oh come.

It's not there, we're going home for sure, oh yeah, what is this? What is this? Plug it in swimming swimming swimming towards me came here my four mayan heels appeared swimming right here it's strange swing your right inside you it's here it's here it's there I don't know what it is yet let's see oh oh it's not on we're tangled we're tangled in me livvie let me go it's here let me get over you it's a shark it's cute yeah that's perfect it's a perfect size to eat when you let me drag it a little splash hopefully it doesn't cut the line right there right there oh shit come get it here, come this way.

Oh no, come this way, come this way. Oh man, stay in the water, oh, don't cut the line, buddy, they got skin like sandpaper, come on, Moby, that's it, okay, there we go, it's a perfect size to eat, buddy, I don't want it too much big, yes, it's a fish. Hey, yes, yes, sir, that's a beauty. I haven't gone for these guys in a minute, that's a beauty, that's easy, he's easy, three feet easy, okay, there we go as easy as a barbless hook, there they really don't have teeth, they're serrated. There's a bunch of them scavenging, it was some kind of snow, yeah, yeah, that's perfect, it's a perfect size to eat, man.

I didn't want to eat anything bigger and I bet you'll want to catch something bigger later, but they're in. here comes nobody beautiful beautiful icon cream out real quick should share the risk I love how the patterns look beauty here we go first fish of the day here and it's a beauty it's a leopard shark just over 40 inches right here You'll see , they don't really have teeth or anything, they're kind of toothy, they're scavengers, these sharks are very, very abundant in California and, yeah, we're going to

cook

this absolutely beautiful fish, come on, can you tell the limit? things, yeah, the limit is 36 inches and three feet to keep and this one, you know, it's over 40 inches right here.

I think this is a perfect size to keep. I don't want to keep anything close to 50 inches or anything like that. a little too big, but hey, for four of us here, it's perfect, a perfect fish, yes, it's very cute, yes, some people keep them like you know pets and their aquariums and stuff, you see why they're great, very cool, embrace the patterns, just a beautiful leopard. Sharks here are very abundant in California. You could have three of these a day here in California, that's the legal limit. People rarely do it because it is a bit difficult to process this fish if you don't cook it well and then. eat it fresh but raise it fresh putting it fresh baby fresh yes but I want me to remove it first thank you for your service I appreciate you should get out that's all yeah make sure you put it out of its misery thank you let's cook the gills too this It's very important to take out this shark, yes, so the urea is in the blood, yes, to preserve the meat, as long as you bleed it right away, we should be fine, we shouldn't have that ammonia taste, yes, cabbage, Dude, just caught.

That first shark here and we keep it is bleeding in the water behind me, but what I wanted to show you our landmarks remember the tide is coming in now and it could be now that they are passing again like I said. They come in schools, so we can expect a lot of bites. Now James still needs to fight a shark, so if I hook one, I'll probably hand over my rod. I'm bleeding the shark right here and look, that's it. a crab ripping its gills off, he's cut it off amazing scent detection I wonder what kind of rabbit it is look if I could catch it with my hand, I got it dude what kind of shit is this, it's not a rock crab, it's not a Dungeness, does anyone know what kind of crab these have a pattern like greenish yellowish huh, there's Taku, he'll catch the shark first and sink below my line here he is right there there we go maybe oh, that's better a cuter one here we go, cute James a shark here, so talk about your chef's life, he'll make us a mule right now and we'll fillet the shark, we'll fillet the shark and make some shark sandwiches, we'll take the head off, Oh leathery skin, almost like sandpaper. that's what it feels like for some reason, like I always imagined the meat wouldn't be so white, yeah, super white meat and look at me, yeah, look at this, they're like here, it's almost like a black cod, white China, there's a steak.

It already sounds like sandpaper pulling off the table yeah let me see the skin yeah get rid of this red stuff you can charge your phone with it and once it gets going I'll get going real quick just guys Hey, hey, good morning, another shark. Good job, his gestures, yes, let's go first. Hey guys, I think I'm going to take a bite of this meat first. Mm-hmm-hmm, I need a couple more bikes to get Lily in there. Yes, put the charcoal outside, very good, but that's it. The first bite is already just mm-hm, it's nice little flakes, it's not like the rock fish it has or a link has a very big one, but it's still very firm, it's not soft at all, from me hmm, yes, that pickled onion actually has a nice kick to it, I put a little bit of Thai chili in it and yes, pickled red onion, so the bread we toasted took a little bit of butter and garlic.

Perfect, I just

grilled

the leopard shark with just salt and pepper. Nano little sunflower sprouts there too. for a little green mm-hmm you don't need much more than that and the amazing thing is it's so juicy like it's dripping down my hands, yes, yes guys, your flavors are a little thicker than mine, mmm, yes, It seems like they can just squeeze it out. Yes, users will come to see this. I like the juices that resonate in my two fingers and my hands. You know onions are perfect for cutting mm-hmm fish. Oh yeah, a little spice, it's good, so let's have seconds, okay? in one sample, none of that ammonia.

Oh, I shot the piece, yeah, a big piece, that's good, Jocelyn, what do you think, since you never had a truck before, you never had leopard shark, right? I guess I'm not a fan of fish, really, oh yeah. a lot, unless it tasted really delicious, amazing pickles, sure, yeah, just

clean

, yeah, roasted, oh yeah, you never expect it when you look at that shark mm-hmm and when you look at it, you know the kind of water it's in they live. I don't really expect that kind of clean mm-hmm tasty though really good, so what do you prefer leopard shark or sturgeon?

Oh pepper clue for me well I never get them clean for me hmm how many sturgeons good to know what leopard shark but I mean? could be the chef who knows what sniffing is, yeah, yeah, it is, uh, the shark never really holds up well when you grill it, some other fish, if you grill a fillet that would just fall apart, you know, my leopard shark is firm, it will stay. together very perfect girls very good I'm surprised that it doesn't taste much that smell it smells so strong yeah hey take a piece of meat it definitely has flavor but it's not unpleasant I really want a piece of me I know.

It's almost like a swordfish, except it has a very fine texture. Yes, it was good. I think we're going to get out of here. That was great. Make sure you guys check out the life of outdoor chef on YouTube, Taku, and he makes amazing meals like this. one here today with us so yeah man I've got you guys on the next one thanks James for coming with James the first leopard shark today come on Jocelin right there see you next time peace.
