    Kingfish is good! Especially the size you were catching, and the way you cleaned them! The Bang Bang Kingfish looks like a winner; I will try it sometime for sure. Thanks again Tug; love your videos! The prep and cook (and enjoyment of the resource) is a real good addition to each and every adventure!

    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.

    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

    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

    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.

    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!

    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

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.
