  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ก.ย. 2024
  • Went out to Bill Baggs to fish the king tides with a full moon. The fishing was slow but I managed to get on fish. I've never kept a shark but decided to try out the bonnethead, since I been told they are good eating. I did a complete test of two fillets, one with seasoning and one without. Watch this video to find out the verdict. As always, I hope you guys like the video and thank you for watching!

    I caught a 34" bonnet head last week on a Saturday morning, put it in my ice chest, covered it with ice and brought it home. Filleted it Sunday afternoon. Before cleaning, I read all this same stuff on line about bleeding it, cleaning it immediately, and a bad smell from urine in the skin. The same things I'm reading here. I experienced little to none of that. I did not bleed it, there was little oder, not anything more than any other fish. It filleted easily. No bones, just a backbone. Nice white flesh. I soaked it in milk, coated it with cajun frying seasoning, fried it and it came out perfectly light, flaky, white fish-like texture. Ate it with some bread, cocktail sauce and fries. It was great! I caught it wading 100' out in the surf at fish pass jetty by Mustang Island State Park. Walked it into the beach before I landed it. Didn't know what I had, and was glad I did. So that's my experience, not what I read or heard someone else say they heard.

    I caught two a 16incher and a 19incher on live prawn the other day. They are way more of a fight than i was expecting for the size I brought up.😂 can't wait to taste them. They apparently love structures near the bank line because we pulled three and one jumped out of the boat. They all were caught from a concrete structure up against a wall like that about 16-25ft deep. Curious as to how big they get. We got an octopus in a can that wouldnt drop the prawn too.

    Had this for lunch today and I can confirm if you immediately kill it and gut it then soak it in milk. The ammonia smell is gone and you will have a good tasting fish.

    Hey just rewatched one of your older vids. Just checking to see how you're doing. I've got to try from shore over on that side of the state. I'm in SWFL. Straight across from you guys. Cool I want to see the catch n cook. Bonnet heads are everywhere. Curious if you bled it before you got home?

    Bleed it and take out guts immediately after catching it. Then put on ice. After filleting, put fillets in milk for about an hour in refrigerator. Afterwards, pat fillets dry with paper towels and then season. It tastes REALLY AWESOME.

    Nice catch and cook!! I have heard that sharks urinate themselves so after catching them you need to ensure that you either bleed them or keep them in the water while bleeding them ? Good catch

    Not sure about Bonnetheads but I know a lot of sharks are supposed to be bled out immediately after catching if you intend to eat them. Has to due with sharks urinating through their skin. My favorite shark is 7 gill (west coast fishing)

    I’ve found that with sharks you have to submerge the meat in a mixture of milk and garlic to take away the wierd smell and taste . Great video I always go to bill bags park but to the beach side never given fishing a shit there but it looks great 👍🏽
