- Today we are down in Florida and heading out offshore fishing with my good friend Arinton @saltwatermercs to chase down arguably the strongest fish in the ocean! This is our only opportunity to go offshore on this trip so we have to make the most of it! Can we get a reef donkey in the boat??? Stay tuned to find out how it all goes down! Thanks for watching and we will see you on the next one!

I’ve eaten both The Hard Head and GafTop Sail Catfish and they’re both Delicious 🤤, if caught in Clean Moving Water. People who say they’re not edible, most times have never tried them or eaten them from someone who can’t cook.
I feel the same. My Mom moved to Florida and I caught both Hardheads and Gaftops, both were great eating.
Or more specifically doesn't know how to clean cats. Gotta lose that mud vein or it's muddy tasting.
Gaftop is delicious, tastes like channel cat to me, maybe a little better. The hard heads are not as bad as people say, but they are stronger flavored and I will pass them up in the freezer every day of the year for something better.
Love it when I can watch you and Bearded Brad at the same time!!! Those were some killer Mangroves!
I agree they taste similar to flathead...snook is the best tasting inshore / flats fish in my opinion
Not surprised! People like to talk crap about different fish and how they taste but I honestly haven't had a fish I outright didn't like. Nice multi-species effort for a well rounded catch and cook!
I am 82 years old. I have been eating sailfin catfish all of my life. Trim it out to the white meat, and it is as good as any good fish in the ocean..
Love Gafftop. I think they are very similar to blue cats.
I have fished around that bridge and the rock jetty for years. We love orange beach. God bless you guys
We just got back from orange beach/ gulf shores last night! We caught more than our share of hard heads this last week. Plus a really good gaff . Excellent time in that area. If you haven’t visited down there then do your self a favor and go
30:33 Fried speckled trout. I’m so jealous!!!!
That trout is ok, but doesn't stand a chance side by side with gaftop
Some good fishing..love to you all ❤
Cole I grew up in South central Florida and I have always kept the sail cats and ate them. I have no problem with them to me either as good as freshwater catfish but those hardhead catfish no way they really do taste bad. I’m glad to see you. Didn’t try eating it
After years of throwing the sail cats back I decided to try them. Freaking delicious! That was few yrs ago and now I keep them. When I get guides they are always trying to talk me out of keeping them 🤣
They are so good! I knew they had to be!
I eat Sail Cat all the time
Biker friend of mine I knew for twenty plus years at the time always had a huge beard like that. I was at another friends house helping him swap an engine in an old truck from the sixties and a couple other people were there, my buddy with the beard which he shaved of started to talk about how to drop in engine, I was floored didn’t recognize him till he talked!!!!! He never grew it back this was over thirty years ago👍
I agree with @outdoors,,,, I wat both hard head and sail cats and my family and I enjoy them both. I believe its more a mental aspect or even the way that people clean them. Also I've tried them different ways and hands down frying them is the best way to prepare them... keep up the great work my friend and God bless
My son live around Navarre and everyone says you can’t eat catfish but we caught one up around Milton and ate it and it was good. We figure with access to ocean fish they just don’t want to mess with catfish
Sailcats prefer live food and hardheads are more of scrounge. I think it makes a difference in the taste of them myself. Sailcats are like eating the best catfish you can find in fresh water. Maybe a flathead about 6 or so lbs in moving water. The hard heads are like eating mud cats or just not quite quality catfish. They have a fishyer taste. As long as you take care of the sailcat by icing it down fast and taking out the lateral line its damn fine fare.
On point, I second this.
If you fillet a catfish and cut the red meat off of the back they fry up and tastes awesome
Hi Cole, Jay, Cyprus and Summer. Great video. Nice boat. Always love watching yall fishing videos God bless and love yall ❤❤
Sailcats good. I eat it all the time. Fried
I love Fresh water Drum.....I clean them boneless and deep fry.....they are good! 💯
Hey Cole! If you’re still in Florida you should hook up with The FishLocker! He’s in Florida too!
Gaftop taste good there just slimmy
Excellent video
Enjoy all your videos !! Interesting to see you do an offshore bottom fishing video
In my experience sea trout are phenomenal fresh, but not so good once frozen and thawed. If you can, freezing any fish frozen inside water seems to really make them retain their fresh fish taste.
You should NEVER EVER pack a saltwater fish in a bag of fresh water in the freezer. It's best to avoid ever letting freshwater touch your saltwater fish fillet, period. This is not my personal opinion, it is the opinion of the professionals in the field of handling, processing, and serving fish.
Perdido pass bridge Alabama......lol
I used to work there I used to fish right off the dock underneath that bridge facing towards the Florida side used to drop your line right down in the water with a great big weight on it 5 minutes later a large fish would be on there.....
You can take the jet skis out in the ocean back then in those days....
That boat is absolutely gorgeous
Love Orange Beach and Perdido Pass
Gaff to sail catfish are great eating
We have those sailfin catfish here in the Pacific of Mexico and they get to be giant's and they taste great 👍🏽
I think fish is how you prep and cook them. Many mess up and then day they are nasty lol. I myself just dont like fish that much, but if i eat fish i prefer saltwater fish. I havent found many fish fron saltwater that isnt ok to really good imo. Now thats like snapper, catfish, reds, tuna, trout and not the sure trash fish lol.
I have eatin many saltwater cats they are real good
Some ocean guys don't eat catfish of any kind period.. I feel that salt water catfish has a different taste because it is a little cleaner. No, river tastes at all. Ocean guys are looking for Salt water species Only. They call many other species trash fish. Do you think that seminoles And their ancestors, Threw back Sailcats and bluefish?!
I think not
Yeah, it's hard to move a pack of snapper aside to go for the gaftop, but that doesn't mean it's trash. It's far superior to farmed catfish, most freshwater fish, tilapia, etc.
Be careful at Dolphin Pass, had a bad experience with some locals from Pensacola
Cole you and the family should take an Alaskan vacation and fish for Halibut.
Would be an incredible trip!!!
@@COLE_and_JAY I miss chatting with you.
@@COLE_and_JAYcome on up to the camp
The place behind you is great eating
I agree with Brad, terrible nasty tasting.
That is my favorite place.
I wish you’d go shark fishing and record it.
Hey guys, I hope you made it through the storms.5/28/24
Big fan of brad
Them hard head catfish you need to just put them in the trash because there are way to many and when they start biting they run off the good fish.
That look similar to a tilapia fish but other than that it’s beautiful fish
No there was a while back. If I'm not mistaken that you like to. You guys tried drum and that it was real good and a couple videos later you said it wasn't any good. It might be that or it might be just because you like catfish. Yeah not me a demon fish and I get sick as I told you before every time I eat it so I wouldn't even try the when you're eating right now. Way where is Blondie?
Gaf
Sail cat aka snot shark
I myself haven’t been baby face since 1984
Are there bull sharks where you were fishing?
Hey coke and Jay. I know ur from Arkansas I'm from tx anyway u could go on a long road trip to south tx cos we do have the gulf of Mexico. I know it long ways for yall u can Google it on ur phone say say Corpus Christi or in that neighbor hood
How do I get out by you 😂😂in my own town. catching all those fish on a pompano rig who would have thought that to.
Looks tasty to me send some here please
Where can I get that rod and reel from??
What rods are you using if you don’t mind? I like those aluminum reel seats!
They are MadKatz rods!
Hey, you guys if you cut the tail off of the catfish it will bleed out and it won’t taste as bad. They have that bad taste.
Your sail catfish we call gafftop are good but the hard head is not good at all.
The Catfish taste better than the trout
I like the salt water fishing,but you just don’t look right unless you an Jay are at a spillway or in a creek somewhere. Great job providing us with the catfish tasting. You just have to try it yourself and not take people’s opinions.
Sorry for the misspelled words... 🤪
Hey Cole and Jay I have a question
I am trying live bait for the first time tomorrow(live shrimp) whats the best set up for creek fishing
Bearded Brad
I have a question? Do you think shimano stradic is worth the extra money. I want to buy a new reel and can't decide on a 100 and some dollar reel or just bite the bullet and get the stradic?
It's 100% worth it. I have some stradic still in my arsenal that are 8-10 years old and use daily. I usually find good deals on lightly used-new stradics on EBay and Facebook. I also recently bought a Shimano Miravel at $130 and it's been a good reel for me so far. No complaints!

Dude, you have me so confused. One video has you in Florida, the next at home, and then back in Florida. Where are ya? I've heard about the catfish being garbage also. Haven't been brave enough to try them.
Im sure its edible but you eat some odd shit down there, catfish is pretty tame. I had very fresh, alive this afternoon, native redfin lake trout. Its not alway easy to get but theres nuff great fish here ,that id never eat catfish, lake trout browns brookies steelhead,crappies perch, gills, splake,walleyes pike whitefish burbots lake sturgeon, bass are our trash fish. Forgot kings, cohos, pinks and atlantics, herring,smelt,yellow perch, white perch ,if you like catfish lots of big yellow bullhead. No catfish yet.
You know you keep saying we we I don't see the other part of we. Where is Blondie?
Why are you touching an dragging your fingers all over the fish
You never Catch. a big tuna.
We haven't gone far enough out for tuna
Speckled trout will definitely hit the head of the shrimp first. I’m commenting at the beginning of the video. Don’t waste your cornmeal on that hardhead,they are awful and smell too🤮
You said you were going to eat the hardhead
I have cooked gafftops, in my opinion they are gross. You can choke it down with hot sauce, but they still taste like they smell.
Anybody know what kind of fish isnt suppose to be in Perdido? I ended up fastforwarding when he said that and couldnt find it, and then got frustrated and refused to watch the whole thing. 😂 I hate teasres like that, just tell me or lose the view
Gaftop is phenomenal. You did something TERRIBLY wrong. A few tips: scrape the slime before you fillet them, Trim the red line out, keep the fillets clean, cool, and dry. Don't soak of over-rinse saltwater fish fillets in fresh water. As for cooking, they are pretty easy going to prep.
@@BG-bx4ey No, I just have access to way better tasting fish than that garbage. I have worked as a line cook in multiple seafood restaurants for several decades. I can fry, grill, blacken, and so on better than most. You can taste the nasty, slimy smell of the fish in the meat. It isn't intense, but it is there. You can cover it up, but it is still garbage. I also know how to fillet, skin and remove the blood line. I also worked as a seafood processor on the slime line for years.
Don't shave and the beard
