- In this episode we go slow trolling for Kingfish aka King mackerel. I show you how I set my lines up for trolling and how I tie my rigs. I also make a mazing “bang bang” kingfish recipe that is a play on bang bang or firecracker shrimp. Enjoy!

For my wife and I, it’s the same rule. Whoever cooks doesn’t do the dishes lol. Great video, keep up the great work! 👍
Yea sir! Thanks
Same here.
Kingfish is big money here in Trinidad and Tobago, and it’s cooked in manny different ways. It’s amazing how things are so different in countries that are so close to each other. Keep making good videos, love your content.
What’s your favorite recipe? I’ve done curry before and loved it
I got a kingfish a couple years ago and threw it in some whole milk and then got busy with work and it sat in the fridge for like 2- 2 1/2 days but I wasn't going to waste it. So when I took it out and grilled it with bbq sauce it was like a steak. Now it's my favorite! Firm and delicious. Perfect fish sandwich or on some rice. Please try it with a little piece and let me know. Probably sounds crazy but it'll blow your mind
Awesome Again !!! Trying that for sure ...
Sounds great
Agree with some of the comments below. I love Kingfish, never had an issue "making Kingfish taste good". Not my first choice of fish to eat, but tastes just fine to me, and I like the dense meat, very filling. I fry it it with no batter in the pan with just a little avacado oil and some butter and lemon on medium heat. Turns a beautiful bright white with a bronze crust from the butter. Cooks up so fast the issue is not letting it dry out.
Thanks for taking the clicker (googan alert) off... it means a lot to anyone who has spent time waiting for it to scream! Excellent recipe!!!
Sometimes for filming I’ll leave them on so y’all can hear the drag 🤷🏼♂️
Some people don't know they are disturbing others with their unnecessary noises - others don't care.
One of my favorite channels!!! Love u guys!! Please just being keep being awesome- and we will keep watching!!
Thank you so much!
Excellent mate!
Love seeing you and your family enjoying life together. Uplifting every time.
Glad you enjoy it! Thank you
Love the video man we have trolled that area every summer for about 5 years in a 20ft bay boat as well. I love that your content is real. Awesome video
Thank you man. I’m just a regular guy filming stuff I love to do.
Ol mullet, captain steal your thunder lol
Your family is wonderful! keep up the great content!
They take good care of me!
Great video tug, all your hard work is evident through the quality of your video. Kingfish looked awesome, going to try that one!
Thanks! I’m just having fun!
You guys are the best! Love your videos.♥️
Thank you!
Get video!! Thanks for showing the rigs you run on your boat and setting up rigs. I have same boat. No downrigger. I have 2 rod riggers. The recipe looks great!
Great boats
I love kingfish. I don’t understand why so many hate on it. They are usually the ones who think red snapper is the best fish in the sea.
Red snapper are the worst snapper to eat
@@TugTrashOutdoors Yes, I’m not alone!!!
@TugTrashOutdoors why you say that? I like both king fish and snappers
Dang I’m slow 3rd! Such awesome content and cooks! Keep it up man!
Thanks buddy
I know Wes! That voice is undeniable. Tell him I said hello!

Great video Tug Dude!!! Keep it up!
Cranking them out as fast as I can!
FIRST! LOVE THE STUFF YOU PUT OUT
Thank you!
Great video Tug! I’ve had kingfish a couple times in Florida that we caught and I’ve only eaten it steaked or filleted and I love it. Pretty hard to bring back to Nova Scotia to smoke, but I’ll try it someday.
Love seeing Bianca photo bomb the bang bang song. Lol
You’d meal looked amazing as always.
Thanks for sharing!
Try smoking it it Florida and freezing it. Fly back with the frozen fish in your carry on small cooler. That how I do it. Thank for all the support!
I soak mine in lemon juice and water overnight , gonna watch rest of video after work today !! Sure it's a good one !! Tight Lines Captain 💪💯
Thanks!
Another great video......and a day early......✌
We tried Saturday out because of the holiday weekend gonna go back to Sunday now
Rumor on the street is your putting out some very Werth while videos, of which I've found out to be true, for a man who totally lives on the water 24/7 . This is what us fisherman love bro,always looking forward to your new ones!!!!
Thank you sir! I love hearing stuff like this. Makes it all worth it.
They food you cook always looks amazing
Thank you!
Good morning Tug and Crystal,B
First things First ! I had 3 heart attacks in 15 hours on the 21st. They put only one heart stent in. Had half block artery. Am good , went for my first mile walk this morning. Did great.
ok that's out of the way !☺
Nice setup you added to the boat. down rigger help out. nice set of kings. Now I never saw the slice thin style and pop meat out, so that was a new one for me. Am with you the regular way of cleaning the fish is better, more fish not to waste.
cool idea for boom boom shrimp name turn it around for the kings. The dish look great ! enjoy family ! see you on the next one. Be Bless
Dan glad you are doing better! Thanks for being such a great fan!
I’m new to your channel and really like your videos I have watched a lot of them today. Enjoy the fishing and cooking part the most. I’m a crappie fisherman. One day I will get to go salty water fishing. Keep up the great videos sir.
Thanks and welcome
Keep up the great videos Tug. Watch ur videos like a religion. Wrote down a lot of your recipes to try.
Thank you so much!
You throw that big ol net like a professional
Thanks
Mullet want the camera time even more than B. Great video says Tom from the future👊
Thanks for sharing
Great video . I love kings !
That one ya ya caught on the jig was a tank!
unwritten rule at my house but what my roommate and i have been going by for years is
we both fish and dive together. i love filleting so i’ll most likely fillet everything. i cook, but he cleans up the kitchen lol but i do the decent thing of cleaning some as i go. he’ll tupperware left overs and clean the pots and pans lol
love channel btw. if you’re ever in miami. i’ll take ya fishing
Great system!
My Goodness That Looked Amazing 😍😍 I would love that style fish chopped up on a Fish Taco🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 Awesome Fishing, Another Great Video… With A Delicious Looking Dish💯💯💯👊🏻👊🏻Thanks For Sharing!! Happy Memorial Day To You And Your Family.. God Bless🙏🏻
Thank you!!!
@@TugTrashOutdoors Yw
Great job.
Thx
Love the video
Thank you!
It looks absolutely delicious 😋
Thank you!
Dude that looked so good i have got to get back into fishing
Do it!
I’m glad you went back to the old way of cleaning kingfish , that other method looks neat, but wasteful. Those nuggets looked so delicious as usual.
I hate waste! I can filet them faster anyways
Nice video Ian! 👏🏼 Thanks for giving your honest opinion on the fish balling thing. Def won’t try that. That fish looked amazing! I’m sure Krystal and Bianca love when you cook! Way to go on these videos!
Thank you!
Hay Trash, your videos are really great. Keep up the good work!!🎉
I like that Snook Nook shirt you're wearing. Been buying bait from there for 40 years
I’m a south Florida boy at heart
That looked great!!!!
Thanks
looks great! 5 days away from calling St Augustine home
1 day! Enjoy it
U r such a good cook.👨🏼🍳👨🏼🍳👨🏼🍳
Thank you so much
Great video and that looked tasty. The one knuckle trick, I watch Quang Tran and he does that on his videos.
Perfect rice every time
That sounds amazing!! I'm nowhere near salt water but am gonna try it with some fresh water fish around me! I'm from montana
Do it! So good
Teriyaki r asian chilli crunch is delicious also appreciate y'all sharing
Sounds amazing
Looks good
Thanks
Mullet at the end of the video…”you know what this video needs??? More Mullet!” LOL
That’s what every video needs!
Love your channel we live in Green Cove Springs we hunt fish and crab also
Awesome! Hopefully we bump into y’all sometime
Man that plate looks great.
Thanks you
Awesome video! Love the idea of the bang bang sauce. Next time add a splash of white vinegar, fresh lemon juice and instead of sriracha use sambal chili sauce. I used to work you had everything else right! 👍🏻
Insider information! Thanks
You are right if you don’t cook you do clean! Go Tug!
100%
Two in the box....ready to roll...we be fast and they be slow!
Yes sir!
Nice!!!
🤙🏽
Hello, my Mom used to make fish chowder, Minorcan style, using King fish. She would make a big pot for our New Years party and would use the King Fish we had left over in the freezer. This is my favorite recipe using King Fish as the meat holds together like a big meatball.
I’d love to see the recipe!
The rule at my house is,#1 I cook the fish,#2,wet hand,dry hand,#3, I always cook my fish light golden, and finish in the oven 7 to 10 minutes. But that doesn't mean it's better than anyone else. Always willing to learn. Appreciate the rig tie as well!!!
Good rules
You had better get a hat on !!!!!!
Great video tug! I don’t like kings that much. But I bet it wasn’t bad if you cooked it.
Make your outro just a bit longer so we have a chance to hit that like button! Love what you do buddy!
Will keep that in mind
that looks awesome!
something i like to make to go with Asian food that's been fried or has a really creamy sauce is some quick pickles.
they are really tasty, a little sour, easy to make, and they help balance out the meal.
i think they would of been perfect to serve on the side with your bang band kingfish
here's my basic recipe:
1 cucumber (cut in half lengthwise then thinly sliced into half circles)
2 green onions (cutup like you did in this vid)
¼ cup rice wine vinegar (distilled white vinegar will work fine too)
2 Tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
if you want some heat choose 1:
1 teaspoon chili paste or sriracha
or
1 teaspoon chile flakes
or
1 Tablespoon of chopped up spicy chilies of your choice
you can also add in shredded carrot, raddish, red onion, ginger...
mix up everything except for the veggies and taste to see if you need more sugar or soy sauce or anything. seriously, i never measure, just do it by eye and taste to make sure it's good. then add in your veggies
let it sit for at least 15-20 minutes, but it's better if you leave it over night. but i know you're not gonna wanna wait till the next day, i almost never do, so if you make this first and throw it in the fridge, then start cooking everything else, it will have marinated long enough by the time you're ready for dinner
Wow! Definitely gonna try this I screen shot it!
@@TugTrashOutdoors awesome, i hope you like it!
if you do like it, i'm always happy to share some more of my recipes, and i have a lot of them
I would love to see you, teach us how to throw them that you seem to do it differently than everybody else I’ve seen. Thank you.
The net? I’ll do that
I’m sure you can man. Bro just wanted to say that my brother and I love all your videos man. I spoke to you a few times. I see that your getting more and more popular. Who knows man maybe one day you can just make videos for a living. Like old Blue Gabe and Deer Meat?! I would love nothing more man. All though I do love the tug videos and I’m hoping one day we can meet you guys. My brother is mentally handicapped and he had Scarlett fever at age 4. His mentality is of about a 9 year old. He’s lived with me for over 25 years now man. He’s a good guy bro. I’ve told you about him before man. I love commenting and Henry and I watch your videos now it will start to be every Sunday now that we are all caught up. So tell us what means the most to you as far as how it helps you the most on You Tube? We would like to help you in anyway that we can bro. Your down to earth and unlike deer meat I don’t think like you will change just because you become more popular. Don’t get me wrong man I love Deer meat and Blue Gabe as well. They are just becoming a little over the top now days. But anyway this is about you man and bro we love your content and I hope to see much more of your harvesting of clams in Florida and things of that nature. Bro I’m from here and bro I have never ever heard of harvesting clams and stuff like you do. I’m from up here just north of Tampa in Brooksville area Weeki Wachie area and we fish Ozelo, HOMOSASSA, Crystal River and Bayport. Mostly do trout fishing anymore but use to be one of the best Grouper fisherman around I would like to think. Of course that’s my opinion!! Lol!! Just a shout out Henry my Bro says hello and that we love you guys!! Be safe and can’t wait to meet you one day bro. Hey try to do some more flounder gigging if you don’t mind ok man. I’m August and like I said we love ya brother.
nice video bro you should do a co-op with river rat life
yes you should
I tie the same stinger rig! The king balls is something different would love to try it. This is becoming one of my favorite channels to watch keep the videos coming bud! 🤙🏼
Thank you!
Tug I love my bang bang sauce, make mine almost the same except I add a little sour cream to mine, As for the King Fish You can have it, I have tried it 7 ways to Sunday and won't go out of my way to eat it, Just too oily along with a strong taste but each to his own. Today we were over in Melbourne and went to a place called Direct Seafood, everyone goes there to buy seafood even the restaurants all over Florida buy from them, so we loaded up and bought Red Snapper, Grouper Cheeks and Mutton Snapper. I tell ya they got it all and as fresh as it comes. Occasionally we go to Lombardi's to buy fish, also an excellent choice.
I’m going to check out that shop! And try the sour cream! Thanks
Great video, like the way you do different things with the fish. Could you still fillet the side that you got the chunks from and smoke the rest of the meat for smoked fish dip so it's not wasted? Nice rig set up.
Yes, absolutely
I love to marinate king steaks in Italian dressing then wrap the steaks in bacon and grill them. It’s delicious!
Sounds really good I'll have to try that
Amazing
That fish turned out really good in the video and it look really delicious. Could you do a video on a shark catch clean and cook?
Coming soon!
Bro…”can you make kingfish taste good”???? I love those things! I grill them, fry them, smoke them…king mackerel salad, king mackerel and potatoes, king mackerel and rice…..tha-that’s about it. 😂
You know I got to make the title dramatic for UA-cam lol. Any flounder last night?
@@TugTrashOutdoors slayed em
i never thought kingfish was bad at all. Last time i had it, wasn't fishy, and nice and flakey
You mess up you clean up!!
Fried king steaks awesome
I would have spooned or drizzled the bang bang over them on top of the bed of rice cause all that effort you put into making em crispy is moot when you gave em a bath. But that's just me lol cool video
Warriors!!
💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Downrigger fishing started in W. Michigan from the introduction of salmon into Lake Michigan in the 60's. Interesting story in its self. At a young age I fished off a dock of one of the first inventor.. Jack King. Muskegon my home town became the start of the Downrigger rigger manufacturing industry. The stories I have ... my first salmon, 1969 ish.. still at it! Enjoy your views!
I actually know a little bit about Michigan. I killed my first deer there. I spent a few summers on Torch Lake growing up.
Yea Boy
Kingfish are fun they fight good and are willing feeders. Another way to get good kingfish medallions is to steak them through each vertebrea. Then pull them out. No blood no bones perfect.
Wes was talking about that. Will trying it next time
Those are perfect sized kings for eating,and kingfish is good long as you eat it same day and its a smaller fish
Yes sir
Hey Tug,right away I noticed very little blood in your fillets,rare unless you bled them when I wasn't looking lol. Did I miss something? Looks great so far brother, still watching!
Nope just gaffed and put on ice
I caught three of them off my sailboat trolling at 5.5 knots. Not sure if that is "slow" or not but they will hit at that speed
For lures faster is good we are pulling live baits which is why we go slow
We have no rules !!lol
Aloha, in our house the same rules. One problem. My honey works in restaurants (with a dishwasher), so she will use everything. If I don’t pop in occasionally just to keep up, I’ll become overwhelmed. I clean as I go. She’s a chef, I’m an amateur.
I clean as I go too. Sometimes if I’m filming I’ll end up using more though.
@@TugTrashOutdoors Aloha, and I hear you. Washing dishes probably not considered quality content.
See now a hat on. Lol
😂
King Mackerel have some of the highest mercury content than any other fish and are at the top of the top 5 . The bigger the fish , the higher the mercury content .
True but if you only eat them once or twice a year I think you are good.
Aloha, don’t know if those fish rested, but we used to fully steak and then push the nuggets out after they rested in ice overnight.
No they were just iced on the boat
Well I am of the belief that if you wanna do it right, you gotta do it yourself. So, I cook and then I clean up the kitchen when I’m done.😂
I can cook really good, clean not so much lol
We have the same rules the one that doesn’t cook does the kitchen 🤣
Yes sir!
Tug which temp probe you get for frying ? Thanks Jack
Just a cheap Amazon one
