Pork rind has been used as a bait for centuries. Bacon is just one form. Glad it worked for you.
Have to say you are the only fishing video I watch all the way through rather than fast-forwarding to the good parts. You and Erin make it enjoyable to watch no matter what you are doing. 👍
I'm a long-time fan and subscriber from wayyyyy back in the Suitcase Erin days (iykyk), and all i can say is..... I'm genuinely happy for you and proud of how far you guys have come.
Suitcase Erin! 🎵🎶
Suit case Erin 😂
I still have a Gx2 ugly stik. That video was entertaining
Ive been binge watching their videos from the beginning for months now 😂i know suitcase erin very well hahah
that brings back the day,,,when i first started fishing like 57 years ago...my friend and i used it for pan fish and catfish in freshwater..thx good vids
I caught a massive flounder on Lunchable meat when I ran out of shrimp with my dad when I was a little girl, and first started the passion of fishing 😂
Those are really small throw backs up here in NJ Coastal Waters... We're 2x 17" to17.99" and 1x 18" or greater. I'm surprised they let you keep 14" flounder. That does look like a nice place to be fishing. Fun Fun!
Pro tip: when hooking live bait through the lips don't hook both top and bottom lips shut. Your bait will not be live bait very long since you essentially prevent them from getting water through their gills
Behind dorsal for more lively look.
I would loved to fish every day! I live vicariously through your videos. ❤️❤️
I miss fishing in my Tonga Island 🏝 from Auckland winter gearing up for next summer 😊
This is one of my favorite fishing videos I've watched! The cleaning, butterflying and cooking the flounder was awesome 👌
You and Erin are the best . I live and fish in the Keys and using bacon as bait is a first for me
and you can bet I will be trying bacon bait tomorrow morning . My wife is going to hate me , but thats OK.
Keep the videos coming , they are great .
Texas commandments: Love thy neighbor. Love thy fishing. Love all BBQ equally. Love thy bacon, and DO NOT WASTE BACON as bait. 🤣😁 😂
Greetings from North Padre Island, Texas (Corpus Christi). I really enjoy your videos and always find them interesting and entertaining. You and Erin seem to have a lot of fun and it comes through in your videos. I catch Southern Flounder in the local bays and channels, but I've never tried using bacon for bait. Will try it next time I go out. Please keep the great videos coming.
Oldd school stuff there! Back in the day it was called a pig n jig! Good fishin there!
I'm new to yours videos, but I really enjoy them. I'll be watching many more of them. Thanks for making them so enjoyable.
I fish with bacon for catfish, freshwater drum, carp, and anything else that might bite, works great, and stays on the hook well.😊
I use to keep the white skin of the flounder belly when I fillet them out and cut it into strips and freeze it then use it later on other fishing trips. Cheaper than bacon for sure.
I'm just so happy to see a video from you it's been quite a while since I've gotten a notification from your Channel
Awesome! So happy you are back.
I've never seen flounder prepared that way. I will have to try that!
Hey Erin and Brandon. You guys are really innovative when dealing with baits. Amazing content... From South Africa
Haha this wasn’t our idea, I think people have been doing it for a long time already. Very fun experiment:)
You won’t be taking home the bacon but what a insane catch. Great job. Thanks Richard from Menifee, California
I don't comment a lot but thumbs up for the choice in music here.
Thanks!
What a good motivating video to show us possibilities! Thank you for this video Will be looking forward for others. Also thank you for showing us how to clean the fish at the end and cooking!
As a child growing up in the Southern 🇺🇸, my grandmother taught me to fish with fat back pork, it's thick chunks of white meat, very easy to bait your hook with small pieces, we caught some bluegills, that happened more than 50 years ago, I'm 60 years of age.
Great video, we fish for flounders here in the NE of UK. Will give bacon a try, be interesting to see if it is as effective here.
From EGYPT we like your videos. Keep going❤
Love flounder fishing, so much fun! Gonna have to take some
Bacon now lol 🥓
Waste of Bacon!
I have to admit that this is one of the most enticing cooking portions you've ever done. It's soooo simple yet so well done. The colors and presentation are phenomenal. It looks so delicious!! Are those sweet or regular potato? AND the bacon bait Yassssss! You had me at BACON!!!!!
Where are you fishing? I'm in the Bay Area
Great job on this video. My family and I always watch you. Also my little boy and I met you at Strike Zone your were so kind. Stay that way. Your the best.
Awesome Video! Amazing Looking Recipe Too. Great Content and I Can't-Wait to Use Your Flounder fishing Methods and the Recipe.
Now that is next level! Good for catfish fresh water too.
Reminds me of Uncle Josh's pork baits from the 80's. Great video!
Fantastic job. Thanks for the info 😊
Flounders in my area prefer the thick cut apple smoke bacon .. lol great stuff Skipper 😂
Wow! What a great catch! Flounder is the best!
Thanks for new bait ..... Good luck ........
Nice video. The first video I’ve ever watch on U tube with bacon.
3 minutes into this video and I have zero faith in the minnow. I’ve NEVER done worth a didlly with those “mud” minnows!! We shall continue to watch and see! Thx for sharing!
Bacon works great for catching dungeness crab as well
I must say, just wonderful ❤️

Thanks for the tip of using bacon.
Love your videos long time subscriber here. Where do you purchase your bait boxes you put your stuff in??
Grew up in Florida we always used bacon to catch soft shell and alligator snapping turtles.
love the cooking part at the end. dont stop that :)
Always!
nice easy cooking good knife skills and bacon as bait and then cook with some fish very nice film.
I am 68. Started fishing around 9 years old on the docks around Port Hueneme California. We fished for what ever would bite. None of us had enough money for a fishing pole so we used a drop line. We would use muscle for bait. But I would steal some of my mom's bacon for bait. It worked great but was hard to keep on the hook.
Pork Rinds/ tails for people are great for fish! I heard Uncle Josh isn't making it anymore. Might as well use bacon! Everyone loves bacon!
Who doesn't love bacon, right, Lol.
Great video...thanks for showing how bacon can work! Question: Wht dont you fish out of Flats Boat or a Jon Boat to get in skinny water?
I am blown away!!!!
I am now a FAN!!!!!
Thanks man! If you found this helpful you gotta check out my website, I custom make a ton of gear to help you with your next fishing trip! www.heyskipperfishing.com
Hey skipper I'm all the way from Trinidad and Tobago
Did this the other day 50 miles offshore! The fish loved it! I only do this with bacon that has spoiled though! Otherwise it's a sin to waste such a golden food!
Don't change a thing , great job.
Saudações amigos ! Pescaria sensacional o Bacon deu ótimos resultados parabéns pelas capturas 🎣🎣🎣🙏🙏
Floundering about in the water again, huh? 🤣🤣 The deadly bacon of Shaolin is tremendous bait, I see! 👍👏👏👏
What did you stuff the flounder with? It looks so good!
Heyy I've been watching you for a really long time I finally moved to Florida and ordered your bait with the thread 😃
This a great video, Ty 😊
How the rich fish is amazin. 😊
Love catching Flounder. Its usually a by catch for me. Flounder do not get very big in Australia.
Couldnt afford to fish with bacon though..lol
HEY SKIPPER much love n positive vibes from NEW YORK CITY 🏙️🌆❤
Looking forward to your video every Thursday night here in Toronto. Hello Erin , Brandon . Hope you do cath and cook with the flounder. Goodluck with the bacon 🥓.
Did you enjoy the video?
Gonna have to try bacon when I'm fishing the sound side. Salted clams worked in the past.
I use sausages which stays on the hook due to the thick skins , carp love it ,
When I was a kid we used bacon to ice fish for trout.😊
That meal looked delicious 😋
Were you in the Napa River, near Vallejo, in this vid?
Fantastic video.
I always watching your blog from San Diego CA.
I’m answering comments from maryland
Nothing better than salt n pepper flounder 💯😋
great fishing spot
Guess before I see it...Live Minnow. I am not surprised, as I predicted. Bacon worked on the 2nd one...wow. Great job u2!
We used to use Squid catching King Fish, (have to cut out the Iodine Sack), on the Santa Cruz Pier. One gets bites on Shrimp, yet it just doesn't stay on the hook like Squid does!
My dad caught a 13lb flounder near the bell buoy outside of the Wildwood Crest inlet using a large piece of squid and a bull head minnow both on the same hook
I always wondered aboutork 4 bait. Ow I shall try it
I once caught a nice flounder for breakfast with steak scrap from dinner!
Reminds me of the old jig and pig technique for bass
Always watching from Lima, Peru
Hey! Thanks for watching:)
Ref: bacon flounder. I’m a Floridian and flounder is my main fish. First time watcher and wondering where this video was from. And the Canadian commenter; I have to assume he was joking. I’ve used all food groups with the exception of beef, but, I’m thinking I may have used beef bologna once but we always have used Pork “bacon” chicken and yes even “fish”.. lol. Enjoyed the show.
Thank you, Brandon, thank you Erin. (Forgive me if I've misspelled your names) You give fun, clean living, teamwork and creativity a place in today's run-amok world. I like to watch your stuff with my autistic grandsons because they thrill at your catches and because I never have to worry about you doing or saying something inappropriate. Just thanks. We need more of what you so diligently produce.
50-55 years ago, I used bacon for bait quite a bit. Caught bass and catfish in farm ponds.
Damn bro ur old sweet
Not old, just oldER! lol (I'm 67) @@velvety2528
Might have to try Pork chops for Tarpon now !!!!
Oh Man,,,, that's what its all about!!
Hi. I'm from all the way down in the Caribbean on a little called Barbados. Enjoy watching your videos. Pity I can't use any of your rigs or bait but I try to make my own.
Gotta try that Bacon Bait down here in Kingston Jamaica... Fish on skipper....
Going to Naples in September, I might have to try some bacon. Great that you and your wife both enjoy fishing. Where are you fishing
dang this fish looks perfect with the Cantonese-style steamed fish recipe.
yea this was a good one
Cool to see you saltwater guys and gals discover what we freshwater black bass fishermen have been using for 50+ years, known as a 'Jig and Pig' rig in the bass world. Basically a jig tipped with a strip of pork rind. The pork rind is cut into a fat lump of pork with skin on in the rough shape of the back half of a frog + legs, or a crayfish with trailing claws swimming backward. With skin on it stays on the jig through multiple hookups. Tough stuff. The bacon strip trailing off the jig that you have rigged has the same profile and wavy action as the old tried and true commercial jig and pig. Drives the fish wild. No surprise to me that it is working for you in the salt. The pork rind 'frog' is still commercially available, often with dyes and patterns on the skin portion. Frog pattern in dotted green and crayfish pattern in striped brown/orange were two of the favorite rigs in my area. especially in the summer. The frog pattern was rigged on a lighter jig and retrieved across the top of the weedbeds and the crayfish pattern was rigged heavy and hopped up off the bottom. Worked very well for stripers as well in my local river during the spawning run. The pork trailers were sold in all of my local tackle shops back in the 70's and 80's. I have not seen them on the shelf lately, since the soft plastic revolution has mostly surpassed them, but they are still made by uncle josh and I found them on amazon. I know that bacon works very well in my area when still fishing for catfish, so I may just try a 'bacon jig and pig' for channel cats the next time I go out to the lake, sort of a dual purpose bass and cats setup.
Great fishing 😊
Bacon and bacon grease in a jar for lures actually works great for many species pike especially
Excellent video Team
