      For the ones who put in the time and figured out what works and what doesn't, they understand! My hat goes off to those guys. Years of knowledge that allows them to go out and get it done. While some think simply trolling around for hours wasting fuel is the only way.

      @@weistortny imagine spending years gathering knowledge not only from your personal experience but also from those who came before you; knowing that there are others who would love to just obtain that knowledge putting in zero effort. Inevitably, you’ll say “let them figure it out on their own!”
      Besides, he blurred the baits out of respect to the ones who put in the work. That alone is enough for us not to question the way he chose to edit this one!

    Aaron thank you. I fished for kingfish at night out of Palm Beach in 1970 using ballyhoo. Very exciting, very fast fishing, lots of fun. Smoked our catch over oak wood. It's been a year or two but unforgettable. I was working in Stuart, Fla. at the time, fishing on the weekends. Vermont boy just out of the service. Picking oysters on the Indian River. I worked as a surveyor in the Okeechobee Basin, lots of citrus and palmetto, a magic place. Thanks for bringing it back.

    I have fished for Kingfish during the mid-seventies in the lower keys. We filled the boat when we got on the school. The blurred fish in the video look a lot smaller than the 3 to 4 foot catch we enjoyed back then. The fishery must be a lot smaller now. I will say that the schools are usually pretty deep so the lure you use has to be pretty heavy and stand out in the dark of the deep depths. Kings really attack flashes they see when they are biting. Steel leader is a must. I don’t think I have shared too much but I wanted to express a little bit about how we fished for Kings back then.

  • @danballou2202
    @danballou2202 3 місяці тому +1

    Brought back memories. Used to charter and commercial fish off Miami. We used to move the boat up to Jupiter for the kingfish run. Had commercial kingfish permit as well as a restricted species permit. Tough way to make a living. Many viewers probably don't know that king mackerel don't bring near the price per pound as most other fish.

    Back in the day... 1970's - 80's, I knew of a bunch of Cuban commercial fishermen out of Miami that fished live baits with hand lines only and usually drifting or slow trolling while throwing live chum. Much bigger kings, wooden inboard slow boats.

    • @comfortablynumb9342
      @comfortablynumb9342 3 місяці тому

      I have been on the boat with my friends in Costa Rica when they used hand lines. Snapper aren't too hard, but the tuna and mahi mahi were a battle. I always preferred my rods. And I did better trolling than they did, but on the bottom those guys outfished me every time.

    Thanks for sharing the reality of commercial fishermen. I totally embrace your honesty. Did not know the current end use of Kings till you mentioned it at the end. I have eaten it in my younger days and to say it was terrible is being kind. I am sure it was the way it was cooked. Guessing smoked kingfish might be ok given the oil in the flesh lessening the chance of a dry outcome.

Showing that online would be akin to tell the whole of your secret fishing lake in the middle of the woods.

    Coming from Texas for the most part everyone considers them a sport fish and say they aren't good eating. Except for smoked fish dips. But I've been living in Qatar for the past 2 yrs and I actually catch meter long kingfish from shore here. The shelf drops off to 20-30 meters deep within 5m from shore. I think they taste amazing. I only caught 2 back when I lived in texas and I remember the meat was really gray like barracuda. These over here have more pink/white flesh.
