Gabe, when I lived in Bradenton on the canal we had two great blue herons living in a punk tree in the front yard. My landlord asked us to move down to the other house further down the canal and the heron used to walk into the house when we had the door open from the patio and walk into the kitchen wanting hot dogs. Even my pit/ pointer mix and the Shepherd /pit mix would not mess with it. I used to get up from the couch and walked to the kitchen to get hot dogs out of the refrigerator to feed the damn thing in my kitchen. Then I used to put my hand gently around her neck and walk it back out to the backyard. Same house that we had a manatee come up 3 times a week wanting freshwater and I started buying iceberg lettuce for it. I used to lay down on the dock and hand the manatee heads of iceberg lettuce to eat. She always let me scratch her especially when I would give her fresh water from the hose.
Hey Gabriel, Robert took Lauren & I Tarpon fishing there years ago. If I wasn’t still trying to shake off Vertigo, you could have invited me. Sure was a nice day trip, I’ve met Tom but not Chelsea nor his honey munchkins. If a big white heron shows up at my koi pond I’ll know where he came from. Those beautiful mallards 🦆 are beautiful and when I was small little girl they were plentiful 🦆, sure was another great video
HEEEEEY momma Arrington, I just want to tell you that ALL 3 OF YOUR BOYS ARE SOOOOO FREAKING AWESOME...... VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE, ENTERTAINING, FREAKING AMAZING PARENTS....... NOT TO MENTION EXTREMELY HANDSOME!!! HA HA!!! But again, THANK YOU for raising these awesome men and sharing them with us in this UA-cam world.....!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Some of my favorite fishing memories as a teen was catching big horse mullet in the fall while trying to catch a king on a Carolina pier. Had some king fishing buddies who were Lumbee Indians who loved them. When the mullet started running I’d call them, and I’d net a few hundred pounds for them and put them on ice. A couple hours later they’d come down and pick them up. They would smoke them on the reservation and the next weekend would bring a ton down to the pier with a few loafs of white bread. We’d set up our king rigs on the T and be eating smoked mullet sandwiches all day in between decking kings! I definitely need to try boiling some in a couple weeks.
The variety you provide is always awesome. Always supporting others too and bringing them up. Keep up the good work. Now I need to try some boiled fish this week ha
I'm thrilled to see a new mullet recipe / cooking method. I get a ton of these in Port St. Lucie off the dock in my back yard pretty much any time of year by using my cast net. I'm going to try this the first chance I get. Thank you, as always, for a another great video.
My hubby resided in Florida during his childhood. He sold small mullets to the bait shops which were considered a trash fish. He was blown away watching your video and seeing the size of the mullets. Love watching all your adventures.
Who'd thought mullet (boiled mullet!) would be the best fish you have ever had. Love you uploads Bluegabe, hoping you have posted something everytime I turn on my computer. Cheers!
@bluegabe, love the content. Would love to see you do a taste test 3 ways maybe with jake, Luke and some of ur hunting/fishing buddies back home. Fried, smoked and boiled.... I'd be curious to see his grams recipe. Stay safe bro. Love whatcha do.
Awesome video thanks for sharing, I’m from Maui Hawaii and we steam the mullet, try just clean and scale it cut slices in em and put it in a baking dish in a separate bowl cut lopchong (Chinese sausage) or Portuguese sausage would work, couple stocks celery zucchini green onions and mushrooms mix in oyster sauce and sesame oil and coat fish put most in belly put 1/2 of a 1/4 cup of water cover with tinfoil bake at 375 for 1-1hr20min depending on size of fish in a separate pot heat peanut oil hot when fish is done pour hott oil over entire fish and enjoy
I've never poached mullet but I do know freshly caught you can't eat any better fried fish. But you've gotta catch it and eat it the same day. If not it's going to be very fishy because it's a very oily fish.
I just watched more of the video and you went to Cabbage Key!! I have a staffing company and I have 12 people between there and Tarpon Lodge working for me. Small world! Some day we will fish together. I grew up in SFla on the water in Broward and now live in St.Pete.
I love that ur A.D.D like me.. let’s catch some mullet. Oh look a snake, let’s jump in scaring all the fish away. There goes the snake, oh wow, a mallard duck! 😂😂😉
surprised it came out good ill have to try it that way. i was already shocked when i seen you get the black eyed mullet, which definetly are the stanky ones, the golden eye ones are the ones that are good. in Sardinia italy, they love mullet and have a resturant that only serves mullet in every way possible, they poach it, grill it in steaks cutlets, they cure the row and grate it on their pasta. im in texas and every winter the pompano migrate from florida all the way down to mexico, it gets cooler here and we make pompano sinigang soup its amazing. we just cut up the pomano into 4 steak cuts. its a soup with a tamarind soup base and you add other stuff in it mostly greens like mustard greens, onions garlic, tomato, chili peppers, eggplant, long green beans, okra. the mustard greens is what makes it though u have to add alot of it cause it will shrink down when u cook it, it absorbs all the flavor of the soup. add it in last so it doesn't wilt down to mush and stil has crunch
Both names are correct. You launched out of the pineland section of pine island. That rock jettybtall drove next to on the way out has some monster sheepshead on it. This is the place I grew up fishing and still fish today
Mine just turned 11 last Saturday I can remember sleeping with her on my chest when we first brought her home cause I didn’t want to sleep through her crying for a bottle cause I was working 12-14 hours a day. And taking care of her at night. Seems like yesterday and I sure do miss her being an infant to toddler and wish she would go back. She just started middle school yesterday! Where has time gone?!
When you said best eating fish ever I figured you meant a hog fish. You should look up chassahowitzka river fishing tournament next year and participate. Its for charity and all the money goes back to the community, like two years ago they bought a new playground for the kids. They also have awards for most spots on a redfish, and then they have a fish fry with all the fish caught. Plenty of good fishing charters there as well.
Mullet was the number one export of Florida at one time. The roe was considered a top shelf all over the USA. Cubans would come to our west coast to catch mullet.
Gabe, the reason why those ducks are down there in the Fort Myers area is because they’re on vacation. They deserve a little time off also and Fort Myers is a perfect place to relax!😅
@BluegabeArrington there are 2 in the state, 1 near Ft. Meyers which I think that's the one you were at. I mistakingly thought you were at the one in Hernando county near Bayport. Both on the west coast.
Boiled mullet who knew. I know I arrived the night of the mullet tossing contest at the Florida bama bar. That was the first I ever heard of that fish and didn't think it was edible if they're throwing them for fun.😅
Gabe I like to eat it on the grill. Scales down with a pad of butter and a sprinkle of lemon pepper and eat em right off the grill. We call it a fish pickin instead of a pig pickin. Give it a try u won't regret it
I use to work on cabbage back in the day. Probably in my early 20's. It is nothing like it was back then it has come a long way. I grew up i n Labelle and pretty much call Fort Myers my home town. Was back in Fort Myers this year in June was sadden to see how the Hurricane just devastated that place. I found myself missing it!!!!
Gabe, you need to tell you viewers, the the Cabbage Key restaurant that you ate, was where Jimmy Buffett wrote the song "cheese burger in paradise
Idk when the Last time u been to cabbage key.... its not what it was
This is a myth...several restaurants make this claim
Congratulations 🎊 👏 another great video, Ty for sharing 😊
Not true if you look into it. And it's just a Tourist trap, way over priced bar food.

That rainbow was a ten out of ten.

We boil sheepshead like that in a crab boil seasoning with potatoes - serve with some lemon butter and it's way better than lobster to me.
Who'd thought mullet (boiled mullet!) would be the best fish you have ever had. Love you uploads Bluegabe, hoping you have posted something everytime I turn on my computer. Cheers!
Love to see you guys at my regular boat ramp and area!
Blue Gabe needs to try “Blue Dog Bar & Grill” try the “Mullet Dip” 😋

Hi blue Gabe good afternoon to and your loving family
Great video Gabe!
Thanks for sharing!!!
Good stuff as always! I was just at Tarpon Lodge and Cabbage Key(Same owners) a couple weeks ago!
Fishing is my favorite thing to do for outdoor sport ❤

We want duck hunting video with pellets guns with your boys (catch clean and cook) ❤❤❤ can't wait for that video❤❤❤🎉
Love the vids greets from holland
Yep Boiled fish is good water 3 sliced habenaro With shrimp boil or not good stuff. Larger fish work best...
That last moment with the little girl made me miss my daughter being that age. She went from 7 to 15 in a flash!

10:01 they must have followed you back from NJ
We have those exact ducks in the UK x
Cool episode Gabe I really enjoyed the show And them mallards if you can feed them they will stay
another way to cook your fish 👍 yummy
We here in Fort Myers are having bad storms too!!😊
Great video I’m going to try boiled mullet will see how it goes. Great work Bkugab
Team Arkansas here! 🐗
Yoo Gabe could you do a catch clean cook on a green moray eel?
There’s a place in Monroe Wisconsin called Baumgartner's Cheese Store & Tavern that also does the dollar bills on the ceiling
Mullet was the number one export of Florida at one time. The roe was considered a top shelf all over the USA. Cubans would come to our west coast to catch mullet.
Never eatin' no mullets . In Louisiana we use them for bait . But cool video !
A cleaned sheep head wrap it in cheese cloth. And boil it in crab boil. Delicious
Gabe, the reason why those ducks are down there in the Fort Myers area is because they’re on vacation. They deserve a little time off also and Fort Myers is a perfect place to relax!😅
That's not the keys. Pine Island is 60 miles north of Tampa. That's just the highway rest area. 😂
Pine island is not north of Tampa
@BluegabeArrington there are 2 in the state, 1 near Ft. Meyers which I think that's the one you were at. I mistakingly thought you were at the one in Hernando county near Bayport. Both on the west coast.
@BluegabeArrington growing up in Hernando county, I always think that's the everyone is talking about. 🤷♂️
I’ve never ate at that restaurant but I’ve past it on my way to go fishing
Gotta try it now. Looked good
Can me and Luke go fishing this weekend?
Boiled mullet who knew. I know I arrived the night of the mullet tossing contest at the Florida bama bar. That was the first I ever heard of that fish and didn't think it was edible if they're throwing them for fun.😅
You gotta tell me when you go exploring in my stomping grounds
Broiled mullet is awesome
Wish we had a blue Gabe video twice a day every day.
Gabe I like to eat it on the grill. Scales down with a pad of butter and a sprinkle of lemon pepper and eat em right off the grill. We call it a fish pickin instead of a pig pickin. Give it a try u won't regret it
Pretty sure it's legal to cast net redfish just has to be regulation size and also 2 I think per boat or person can't remember, pretty sure it's boat.

Wish I knew you were here i would loved to have met you. I boat that area every weekend.
Man that looks good. I'm going to have to try it.
Hard to go wrong with fish and eggs we always loved catfish and eggs 😊😊😊
My neck of the woods!
Lol we also have a few green heads here on oahu Hawaii
never heard of boiling fish, definitely will try that once
Bring Crystal back
Did they split?
Yes they broke up

Try fried mullet roe.
Try Tarpon fishing down there!! Fun!😀😊
My mother liked smoked mullet dip! 😀
Blue Gabe is on🎉
Checking in from nowhere, wyoming lol
My former step grandpa (passed away) took my mom, me, & my brother down to Pine Island with him and my grandma once. Cool little place.
Whe have a lot of mallard ducks where i live in the netherlands
You always say, that is the best fish I've ever had 😂
