Thanks for the video my brother. And I want to give a special thanks to your wife too. I do a lot of fishing out here in the Houston Galveston area and I honestly get tired of frying and bacon fish all the time I'll be needing new ideas. So I honestly appreciate it That drum show looks good Y'all enjoy your meal
Yeah, as everyone has already stated, that taco was bangin... I could already taste it as it was being built. Amazing! I also want to say that you cleaned that fish to PERFECTION! You stayed right on the bone at every cut and turn... Yeah, I noticed that! Thank you for an amazing video!
Brandt man I can't tell you how much I love and enjoy these videos.. especially after a Long Day's Work man just drink a cold beer chill and relax and watch you catch some fish. If I'm not fishing myself I'm watching I'm watching somebody fish haha lover videos man thank you and congratulations on all the success
Brant, many thanks for consistently putting up great videos, I;ve been recovering from Open heart surgeries, for the last 6 months, I can always count on you for interesting and consistent videos,,, Thank you sir, for helping me through the last 7 months, You're the best
Im terminally ill and disabled, would love to be fishing out there like ive done all my life , mostly on mountain lakes in Oregon and California, some Ocean fishing Pacific Northwest and the famous Rogue River in Oregon my home stopping grounds. But my end life cycle would love to fish new waters and species that I haven’t had. My dream is to catch a Goliath Grooper and a barn door halibut! Oh and I want to taste a coconut crab! I love dungeoness crab, snow crab or king crab/ but can’t afford them.
Great video Brant I'm pretty sure you feel the same way I do when I'm out fishing for Northern Pike and they break me off or cut the line but it only takes one to get you some good meals the fish tacos look absolutely delicious👍
Hey Brant you may remember me we fished on Navarre pier growing up. I’m your age but I fished a lot with your dad especially the tarpon runs in the summer. Anyways when you were passing that rod around the trees I said “yep that’s a pier fisherman” 🤣. Good memories of going around the second gazebo on the old Navarre pier with Cobia or Tarpon. Anyways glad to see you having success here and hope all is well. Jesse
We have always eaten Black Drum and I think they r great !! Trout get worms too and I just cut them out and Cook Em Up!! Catching ,, Cleaning n Cooking Fish is The Best !!!
NICE Black Drum! Way to catch one along that boat “drag strip” (obviously not a No Wake Zone). I expected your surprise guest gourmet chef to be your wife- Right on! Great Video!👍
Always pushing forward with the content of your videos Brandt, that's why I look forward to them, and adding Melanie with her outstanding recipes for the cooks is outstanding! Appreciate y'all!
It would be a hard sell to tell people that a fish with worms after you remove them is a good fish to eat but NYC applauds your determination, BRAVO! You are very fortunate to have a wife who is a great cook my wife loves the menus at different restaurants, Man! I hope she doesn`t see this comment you will have one less subscriber. Great show!
We catch similar species here in Aus they called mulloway ... my favourite to eat and have a few good recipes too... Thanks to your wife for the amazing looking meal you share.... Love to come over some time and tick one off the bucket list... Thanks for the content you share
We got a 42" black drum a couple of months ago. In FL, you can keep 1 oversized black drum. But there was no way to transport it in the kayak, so he got lucky and went back to the school. Was going to ask about Bacon Grease Goddess channel.
Any bigger I would not keep, caught a 22lb. one last year & let it go. up to 5-7lb. I keep. From Southeast Louisiana, catch them in the bayou in front my house, so I keep what I want legal or not. And they have worms in speckle trout also. Bayou Lafourche. Tacos looked great, thanks for sharing.
Brant I catch huge black drum in Tennessee. If I grilled our drum and sat them side by side with yours, I swear you could not tell the difference in taste. I clean mine a little different because of the bone structure. Most folks around here believe they are trash fish, however I can assure you they are not. N E way I watch your videos religiously as I love surf fishing. Who needs a charter? Give me the beech or bay. BTW that taco recipe looks to be the bomb!
I'm with you on that man. I could keep my family fed with just the collars and cheeks of just about all the fish Brant, Beach Bum, and Bearded Brad, cleans. I follow Reed the Fishmonger, and Victor with Landshark on UA-cam. They are 2 of the best fish cleaners I've seen. They don't waste anything during fish cleaning. Collars, and cheeks beautifully done. I grew up in poverty in Pensacola, and learned not to waste anything. Cheeks and collars were all my mom could afford to buy from fish markets down there. She'd ask for the heads and backbones at Joe Patti's, they'd give her bags of big grouper, snapper, amber jack heads for $20 bucks, and we'd have enough meat to last a couple of weeks. Being old school, I literally cringe, at the amount of wasting I see in his videos, and the other guys I named. I understand they might not like to eat collars, but may know folks that do and could give them to other folks. Would be greatly appreciated I'm sure.
Our drums in the midwest actually have calcium stones in their temples, they actually make a drum sound with those stones. Next time see if yours has stones. Thanks Brandt.
@@d.faulkner8210 That's funny and cool. My Grandpa and Grandma used to save the ones they caught in their own tackle boxes, and they had alot! Grandma had the most! I think they used the drum meat for trotlines and bank/dock lines. LOL
I’ve caught hundreds of Freshwater Drum from Lake Erie in my lifetime, and always released them. Maybe I’ll give em a try when I get back to Ohio at the end of the month. My family always releases them because we’re usually catching walleye and yellow perch for our fish dinners.
I've caught many fresh water drum and have eaten them. They are good eating if you bleed them out as with any fish. I usually put the fish meat in a bowl with fresh water and leave overnight in the fridge. Freeze after that and I've never had a problem.
I have kept quite a few black drum and was told by people to throw back the over 30 inch ones because they are no good. Since then I have kept a 30, 32, 33, 35 and 39 inch. I will say the 35 and under were still flakey and slightly firm. The 39 inch which was around 60 lbs tasted more like a tender pork chop than it did a fish. Not bad, but not what I wanted. Personally I would keep another one because it was good but just can't go into it thinking it will taste like fish. Also the 39 inch had zero worms. I had more worms in smaller fish in the 20+ inch range. Only one of the 30+ inch fish had worms.
@user-rf1tk8eq3b starts with eggs of the worms in shark intestines so when they release their feces, the eggs hatch then become larvae, and small fish and crustaceans consume them. Then, the larger fish like Speckled Trout, Redfish, and Black Drum eat those fish and crustaceans. Those worms use them as hosts. Then sharks eat those fish and the cycle continues.
We had a blast catching big brutes at gulf shores June 10 caught one small one are guide said we could keep. It was great. Thanks for another great vid!
Big.thumbs up 👍 for Melanie for the fish taco!!!
You are so blessed to have a husband that can fish and he is blessed to have a wife that can really cook. Love the channel.
That taco had me drooling through the phone. You are very lucky man to have a wife that cooks like that.🤙🏼❤️👍🏼

Don't forget to link Melanie's channel in your description. Fish tacos looked awesome!
Love Black Drum..use to catch them 85lbs and up all the time ..we used big surf clams
This is great. I've always been curious about how to prepare big drum for cooking--especially how to deal with the fish worms.
That definitely looked delicious good job Melanie! Nice catch Brent way to keep going even after you lost two and not giving up!
Awesome Video Brent & Melanie! Persistence paid off in the end!
Fish tacos are my go to always and that looked phenomenal. Great recipe!
Great video Brant I'm pretty sure you feel the same way I do when I'm out fishing for Northern Pike and they break me off or cut the line but it only takes one to get you some good meals the fish tacos look absolutely delicious👍
Absolutely great job by Melanie!
That taco was definitely looking delicious! As someone in the culinary industry, I think that taco was restaurant quality!
Looked divine ! Curious , what were the seasonings in the marinade ? Loved the video ! Safe trip to Iceland !

Loved the video and great job on the tacos Melanie!!!
My first drum was caught off a house boat.I was about 9 years old and it was 25lb, and it was delicious from what I remember.
NICE Black Drum! Way to catch one along that boat “drag strip” (obviously not a No Wake Zone). I expected your surprise guest gourmet chef to be your wife- Right on! Great Video!👍

Nice change, keep them coming.
I like how Melanie is cooking and Brant’s like, let me take you on this trip to try to find our snake.
I just saw Brant on the "Know More" channel. They used his GoPro drop over a pier and showed his footage.
killing me yet again with your cooking!! Awesome video!
Loved it!👍
Excellent reaction time by the LEO. 👍👍👍
The tacos look delicious

Great video and looked delicious!
Iceland wow. Don't forget to try some of the fermented shark , I think its called haoulkhakkkkhulkahak , or something like that.
thumbs up, Melanie. that looks delicious!!
Fresh water drums are delicious too if you know what you're doing in the kitchen. I bet you and the wife could make it taste just fine.
This is an AWESOME video bro!!! Keep up the hard work!
Man that taco looked really good!
Y'all make such a good team! 🥰
Great video! Thanks for the recipe too!
Of curse molany ur guess are amazing together 🎉🎉😊 I have following brant for years I feel he is my brother family 😂keep up that amazing 👏 con
Actually fresh water drum/sheep head are pretty good too. Totally overlooked up north.

Brant did you see Ricky 👀 I swear your gonna have to give him his own channel soon 😂😂😂😂 great fish and great video ❤❤❤
Where the restaurant look yummy yummy YUM
When the Bacon Grease Godess cooks it, you know it’s gonna be good!
You gotta harvest the collars and cheeks off of drum that size. So much good meat most people toss in the trash.
I'm with you on that man. I could keep my family fed with just the collars and cheeks of just about all the fish Brant, Beach Bum, and Bearded Brad, cleans. I follow Reed the Fishmonger, and Victor with Landshark on UA-cam. They are 2 of the best fish cleaners I've seen. They don't waste anything during fish cleaning.

Good job on filling
Too much work
Our drums in the midwest actually have calcium stones in their temples, they actually make a drum sound with those stones. Next time see if yours has stones. Thanks Brandt.
same as the ones off the outer banks of NC., my dad used to pull those out and make jewelry out of them
@@d.faulkner8210 That's funny and cool.
My Grandpa and Grandma used to save the ones they caught in their own tackle boxes, and they had alot! Grandma had the most! I think they used the drum meat for trotlines and bank/dock lines. LOL
Freshwater Drum(aka Gaspergoo) are good to eat too. It’s all in how they’re prepared prior and cooked. Those tacos look incredible.
I’ve caught hundreds of Freshwater Drum from Lake Erie in my lifetime, and always released them. Maybe I’ll give em a try when I get back to Ohio at the end of the month. My family always releases them because we’re usually catching walleye and yellow perch for our fish dinners.
When we caught them in southern Texas they called them Gaspergoo's there.
I've caught many fresh water drum and have eaten them. They are good eating if you bleed them out as with any fish. I usually put the fish meat in a bowl with fresh water and leave overnight in the fridge. Freeze after that and I've never had a problem.
@@jimmyjaimes5268 thanks for your reply!
Freshwater drum are excellent when not huge and well iced when caught. Tastes just like croaker. My son actually prefers it over walleye, go figure
Oh my gosh that looks amazing! What time is dinner? Great video ❤️it
That look amazing. How's it taste.
Great video there 👍
Great recipe I'm going to try it one day
Hey Brant, why do some fish like the Black Drums get worms so bad when others in the same water don't? Or.....do they all?! Love your videos bro!
Really appreciate the Effort . Hoping he catches a Black Drum here.
I have kept quite a few black drum and was told by people to throw back the over 30 inch ones because they are no good. Since then I have kept a 30, 32, 33, 35 and 39 inch.

I had more worms in smaller fish in the 20+ inch range. Only one of the 30+ inch fish had worms.
How do they get these worms 😮 educate me?
@user-rf1tk8eq3b starts with eggs of the worms in shark intestines so when they release their feces, the eggs hatch then become larvae, and small fish and crustaceans consume them. Then, the larger fish like Speckled Trout, Redfish, and Black Drum eat those fish and crustaceans. Those worms use them as hosts. Then sharks eat those fish and the cycle continues.
You sold me on the Blackstone. Getting one
Your face on that first break off says it all. 😂 We've all been there.
That looks 👌 good 😊
Wow this is very cool great recipe love your wife on the channel
That looks great
dig a 6-8 inch hole near tree , garden compost etc put all fish scrap , nothing gets wasted ~ fertilizer
Good Stuff going to do this with my next Red
Got a bag of black drum ribs we’re going to fry up tonight delicious
What size spinning reel do u recommend
I use a 4000 size for most fish. In this video I had a 5500
I recommend crystalized moth balls to get rid of the snake. Worked well for me😊
We had a blast catching big brutes at gulf shores June 10 caught one small one are guide said we could keep. It was great. Thanks for another great vid!
Awesome job
Dang what a Hoss!
I live on Hatteras island nc and we have a native dish for bull reds at least a 40 lb fish and it's incredible
Got to get those cheeks on big fish. Great content
