Florida has a lot of bowfin that are pretty tasty but there are also american shad running the st john's river if you wanna try those! They are supposed to be called the king of fish and used to be eaten a lot back in the day. Bowfin are good eating too but you need to cook them right after you dispatch and clean them. They last forever out of the water at least. Gar is good eating too and we got some nice ones! If all else fails pinfish and croakers are good eating, you can catch em with small hooks and tiny pieces of peeled shrimp. I gut em, scale em, and fry em up whole after cutting some slits in the meat for the seasoning. Just like you do small bluegill.
Love the video, the reason it tasted bad was, you need to fillet out the shark right away, they pee through their skin! The pee has no where to go after they are dead, it gets trapped in the meat, that’s why it tasted bitter!
Apart from filleting it right away you also need to wash it properly either with vinegar or vodka. Let it soak for a little bit then put some lime or lemon on it for like two minutes then you season and then you cook it trust me you will wanna eat it again 😅
Hey Firststate, loved the video! I think you should try the shark again! But next time, you’ll want to clean your shark almost immediately. Sharks urinate through their skin and gills, so after they die their urinary functions break down and they begin to release ammonia. I believe that begins around 45 minutes after death but the sooner you clean it the better. I had a similar experience on my first try but another fisherman I met told me to try cleaning it sooner and that made a big difference in my opinion. I especially like shark pan fried with cajun seasoning and lemon. Hope you give it another go!
Forgot to add, sharks arent sought after for consumption due to their mercury rates, however the vast majority of the mercury resides in the lower meat around the belly, you can normally see the difference in the meat as well I believe. Its not lethal, but not recommended in excess
Depends how long you left the shark before prepping it, it can affect the taste- it's generally a good idea to clean them out ASAP after catching them as they can release ammonia through their meat if left too long- that could be the odd taste you commented on at the end there. Tight lines as ever mate, keep up the good work.
I love these longer vids!! Always positive vibes! Much love from Austin you always have a spot for the RV (and Camper ofc) and some good bass fishing! And great FSOTD (fishing snack of the day)🫡
Was bored looking for a video to watch then I see the subscriptions thing have a red dot next to it clicked on it and saw this video and screamed let’s gooo you cured my boredom lol 😂
Best way to fry fish is just plain corn starch and a squeeze of lemon at the end. The corn starch gets your fish crispier than anything else and the squeeze of lemon removes all fishy that might be left. Keep it simple 🌽 🍋 🐟
when the reel ended up in the sand i cried you can hear it grinding like 2 seconds after. other than that good video love the content :) Also I would recommend getting longer sections of PVC from the hardware store (cut them in like 4.5 ft sections) and cut one end at an angle, you can put them into the sand easier by just putting your mouth on the other end and sucking the air in from the inside of the sand spike. There's some goo UA-cam videos about it online, the metal ones are good but i would use them more for rocky beaches etc. The longer pvc ones might be harder to carry on the bike but if youre taking the truck it would be perfect
Sounds weird . But fillet decently quickly after caught , put meat fillets in a bowl add whole milk to bowl , with Tony’s (seasoning) , garlic salt and some Lemon juice .. let it soak in that for atleast 4 hours , but better over night . Then pat dry fillets and re season with whatever you like (garlic salt , Tony’s , and lemon pepper ) little pieces of butter , throw thick fillets on a bbq pit … taste GREAT , especially smaller black tips
Not sure what kind shark or how it was processed or cooked but one place I use to eat with family (70’s) would sell scallops they were very good. The restaurant got in trouble because it was shark not scallops, they then changed the menu to say “scallop cut shark). It tasted the same (to me)
my boyfriend said you need to use a bucktail and a strip of bluefish he also said not alot of people know this but a bucktail and a strip of bacon both will catch fluke all day.
That bitter taste is that ammonia taste when you catch a shark you should instantly clean it because sharks urinate trough their flesh and it makes that bitter ammonia taste.
You need to dispatch the shark asap …if not they will seep ammonia through their skin because that’s how they urinate … look up the proper way to dispatch and fillet shark …deff try it again you’re missing out
What else should we catch and cook this year?? 🎣🤔

my boyfriend said if you want to catch redfish you cant go wrong with mullet cut bait

Learn something new everyday I reckon
@@tysmokez2535no you need to do it like ASAP

Facts
Bonnet heads are quite common. They often feed on shrimp. Them and Blacktips are about the only that will eat shrimp. Both good table fair.

What pound line were you using?
What type of bait would you use at lake Joe Casey
Fishing is awsome

I made rod holders using a piece of rebar welded to exhaust pipe from old car.. welded a cross piece of rebar to use as a step to push it In easy..
WATCHING THIS VID IN CLASS. 😤
Awesome catch❤
species is actually called a bonnethead they are a little smaller than baby hammerheads and they are pretty good eating. good stuff
Beautiful strike, great edge fishing 👍👍 28:15

As everyone’s said, gotta clean them right away. I’ve also heard of people soaking the fillets in milk before cooking it
im so exited to watch this love your vids keep up the good work
You should get a rubber mallet to help drive the spike my guy
I use to wrk at basspro shops in Port St. Lucie about 10miles from Jensen beach and ppl love the fishbites top sellers
keep it up man big fan
we dont have bonnetheads here in Norway, but eaten my fair share of dogfish, they are awesome in soup
Ima have to make one of them suckers for ghost shrimp
U can make home made ones jus cut a old bed frame. Drill couple holes and boomm. Cut off one end sharp n pointed. We use those on oahu.. aloha cuz
That is a kool shark and thanx for thr 411 on the bonna head luv cooking with 1st state peace.
Only the OGs remember Mike dousing all of his catch and cooks with Slap Ya Momma…
Love how the shark was flapping in the background
Great video bud I’d love to catch a shark it’s on my bucket list
Shark is actually really good, but you have to clean it right away and cut off the skin and belly fat. It doesn’t hurt to do a saltwater brine either.
Love the vids, very good editing keep it up and stay fishy
Amazing vid bro !!!!❤❤❤❤
Good catch firststate!!!
Great video as always bro! Love the catch & cook. Come back to Fort Desoto
Bleed and filet the shark righ when you catch it.😮
Have you done a video in Orlando?
PVC works. get some that are 4-5 foot long and they will hold just fine

Awesome video! As others have said, if you don’t properly and quickly filet and ice sharks, they don’t taste particularly great
hi i loeve your videos and i figured out that u go to my pier to go fishing which is awesome hope to see you some time
At my walmart they haven't put a ny fishing gear on clearance for a while Kool u found some gear at your walmart.
I love this! It’s literally the same thing I do but I’ll go to a creek or lake
My bike not electric though 😢
What I would do is before I would ride the bike for a video is put a note where the button would be that would say charge battery😂😂
My dude literally ate and feed shark piss to his family…. A1 dad right here! Lol
I’m waiting for the day the fish say hello back to you
Did you ever get your cast off your foot
Love it ❤
gotta get you some rod holders on the back rack of that bike
That's cool! Too bad you and I can't land a shark in Delaware.
how cold/warm was it when you were fishing?
my boyfriend said you need to use a bucktail and a strip of bluefish he also said not alot of people know this but a bucktail and a strip of bacon both will catch fluke all day.
how many $ is the florida fishing licence there? for one day fishing
no boot... heck yes
I would love to see a catch and cook on a sting ray if it's big enough. I'd caught one last yr in July but I'd let him go. It was bout 2.5 pds
Need to get yourself a solar charger or make one. So that way you can charge that thing while you're out there.
Watching your vids with milk and soft cookies
Sharpedo for dinner.
What beach is that?
ayyy hows my goat doin
U didnt cut out all the blood if its bitter btw. Lol like all of it even the center
Please tell us man, Which Beaches you are Fishing.....OH THE HUMANITY MAN
Replace the chain. Use plenty of WD-40
Skrrrttttt😂
Bring the mobile zip code to Minnesota this spring/summer
Bleed shark immediately.
That bitter taste is that ammonia taste when you catch a shark you should instantly clean it because sharks urinate trough their flesh and it makes that bitter ammonia taste.
Pause…one main fin is missing. You know the back end🫣
Out of all the florida costal sharks that are legal to harvest, bonnet is the worst (in my opinion)
Nice*
Wash the bike with fresh water every time you ride it on the beach or you’ll rust it out fastttttt
last time i watched you you were in your boot😅
I hope I'm never in that thing again!
@@FirstStateFishing haha. nice vid btw
Honestly bro all these people say this and say that about shark. Just gut it, shake it in the beach water for 2-3 mins and it’s ready to go
I joined a year ago Had a boot Is getting better?
Like on a car the ocean salt water will destroy your chain and any other metal on your bike not salt water proofed.
Sharks pee through the skin so its very important to gut and clean it as soon as you catch it
I told myself I wouldn’t be that dog owner with all the toys. River has a toy box and she goes there every morning and takes them all out 🙄
Shark pee out of skins got to bleed them out after catch but there are sweeter then any fish

Real talk, get some waterproof shoes bro, and socks
First
W
dont eat the nice sharks
Literally the worst fish handler on youtube
Along with cleaning it immediately. You HAVE to cut ALL red meat off. That’s a part of the bitterness
