    Ya'll have been asking for this for a long time! If you're interested in the reel or camera I use check the video description for all the links. Let me know what you want to see next! Wahoo season is knocking at the front door =)

    To stop fish sliding around when filleting use an old towel on your table.
    Don't forget to ask if the towel is old.
    That was a great deep dropping video

    Very interesting view of a fish's reaction to a bait ! Watching how the fish responds after getting hooked ! I was waiting to see at what depth the air bladder would pop out of the fishes mouth, but never saw that happen until it was out of the water ? Those fillets reminded me of some of the salmon that I took out of Lake Michigan ... HUGE !!! VERY COOL VIDEO !

    While I have never caught one, as a fish cutter here in NJ, I find a serrated knife works well for big grpuper. Hands down the wings are the best!
    Enjoyed the movie,
    Well done sir.😁

    @Random832x 4 роки тому +1

    I love the underwater cam but I also like seeing the build up and the excitement while the fish is getting reeled in. So I think having the main video running with the underwater footage in a smaller box on the side would be the optimal solution.

    One of your best videos.. Beginning to end. Great editing and video content.

  • @blakew.5736
    @blakew.5736 4 роки тому +1

    I cannot criticize anything. Ive lost a lot of line in rocky bottom. All I’d recommend is a few feet of 40lb test to the lead, just enough to break away. I’ve had probably around 4 30+ lbs tilefish break off the 6lb lead, but when u get these fish it’s all worth it.
    That being said, larger tiles we catch are all in around 950ft, 6-8lb lead with a 3 hook rig. Fish the down current sides of muddy/sandy hills and you’ll have a lot of success.
    This info applies to our Broward fishermen but I’m sure it’ll be of use. Best of luck to you! Love the vids Haiko!

    • @blakew.5736
      @blakew.5736 4 роки тому

      If you’re using heavy lead up it to 60lbs. I’ve noticed in the Keys you usually have less current than Broward which is 3.0 yo 4.5 knots Broward summertime, usually 4.5, but sometimes up to 5. In these cases I’d recommend not deep dropping, but if u did I’d use stronger breakaway line from the bottom 3-way to the lead in harder conditions, 60-80lbs. For snowy’s, at least a ft of breakaway line to limit snags.
      Congrats on the snowy’s! I’m still an out of town googin. Sharks usually get mine on the way up but I know they’re there. Btw you’re gf is smoking. You’re a lucky man my friend! Stay prudent and keep her happy!
      Happy fishing you lucky SOB! Keep it going. Get an air fryer when u can. The fish will be crispier and with zero oil to drain. Much healthier!

    Place fish on towel, no more slip sliding around.

    @chuckrichards3501 Рік тому +1

    When decending a fish you do not need to puncture the "air bladder" or decompress the fish at the surface. They have videos of fish going down and their stomach and eyes returning to normal before being released and swimming off. A simple wire decender works but the sequalizer is best IMHO.
