Great video Stanzfam! What an awesome way to spend your bachelor’s day, with a bunch of friends fishing. As always, I love watching Charlie do some different ways of cooking. Corn flakes is an awesome way to add crunch and flavour. That fried fish looked so delicious. Thanks for sharing!!!
Awesome guys . The girls gonna start hanging out with you guys instead of the girls for now on. Keep it simple and real. God Bless you all ! Respect from Readyville Tn. Thanks ❤
Just started trolling in the keys with my 2 boys 17 and 12. Love watching your videos and learning new stuff. You guys are easy to watch and awesome. Appreciate you sharing your stuff with the rest of us!!!! Thanks
Mahi is still on my list, we fish/charter boats out of destin and no luck on a mahi yet, crossed sailfish off recently which was so awesome. When released that sucker went straight back down into the depths, really cool to see.
Great video nick. It's nice when friends can get together and hang out. Congratulations to the bachelor, Keep the videos coming nick and i'm gonna come down there and fish with you.
Around 14:05 big win for peanut oil...go GA! 16:02 ..lol, been there...poke it back in, remember never pull/clean too hard for next use, keep using. Mine's made it a year after accident so far...oh, never stick a mag thermo pen on grill and forget its there. Planning a trip for construction work...semi retired...in PCB, been thinking Mahi any advice?
I miss my summers in the Keys but I have a lifetime of great memories we always bleed all of our fish and they tasted better expecially if you had to freeze some and Skipjacks were favorite tuna someone with thinly sliced them and quick-flip them on a grill or raw they were excellent
2 summers ago me and my family stayed at the lime tree bay resort Just South of you guys. We rented a boat a couple days and we went to bud n Mary's for bait And I grabbed one of your performance shirts from the store there actually the same one that you're wearing in this video. I saw you there the 1 day but you looked like you where really busy and at the time you had just got the new Freeman. It wasn't even wrapped yet. I don't think you had even showed it on the TH-cam channel at that point. Just before we left to go back to our condo in Hollywood Florida We stopped and let the kids feed all the tarpin with the extra bait we had left over.
@@StanzFam so you think it would handle offshore kind of similar to a 25 contender bay or pathfinder 25? Interested for myself since we live in Fort Lauderdale. I do not like going out on a 32ft in anything rough. We primarily use it on the west coast in rookery bay but would love to go for the mahi on days permitting
My brother has a 25 contender bay and the X3 rides a lot better in a chop than his boat. The x3 isn’t as fast, but I prefer the comfort. We had a 24 pathfinder bayboat for years and the x3 is a lot more comfortable and much better built boat than it was. Not even comparable in my book. I’m not familiar with the 25 pathfinder so I can’t honestly compare them, but the X3 has been a great boat for us so far. It’s a Great bay boat and when weather is decent enough to take it offshore we do it all the Time.
I had to cut back on chartering due to some some health issues the past 15 months so my deckhand Capt Mike has been running most of the charters. We’ve been going out on the bay boat when it’s calm and making TH-cam videos to keep the Channel going and the bay boat costs a fraction to operate compared to the freeman.
Charlie needs to use his mind😅 little bit but he looked hungry. He should have brought the basket up first then put all fish slices then put the basket back in the oil intead of throwing in slices. 😂🐬 16:30
They used to be “dolphin” for me and all of us growing up but the name shifted the mahi with all the of tourists. We used to laugh when people called them mahi and now 20 years later we do 🤷🏻♂️
Nick. Thanks for the content and I was hoping you could help me with a question on the X3. What is the bridge clearance height on the water. I only ask as I am moving from FTL to Pt. Charlotte and notice some of the bridges are low, about 10 feet or lower in some spots. The X3 looks are deceiving.
@@StanzFam Thank you. I actually reached out to ShallowSport Boats and Wes called me and emailed me on the bridge clearance. I thought this was one of the most respectful things someone like himself in his position could do along with your quick response! Again thank you for caring and responding.
I fed the tarpon there. Surprisingly we had manatees eating fish scraps as well. Im from Mississippi and unfamiliar with them. I always assumed manatees were vegetarians.
Yamaha is more expensive but for good reason. The amount of hours we put on our 300’s is impressive. I rode on X’s with both brand engines but don’t recall the fuel burn. The first ride was 3 years ago.
Most of the Mahi I have seen so far this year have been really small! How about down there? Actually the ones you caught are some of the bigger ones I’ve seen.
Don't know if you have ever watched On Patrol Live on Friday and Saturday nite at 9 anyway last Friday a deputy sheriff had your shirt on with vest Daytona beach
I am nick stanzick I charge you 2000$ to go fish and I only have two Sabeckis to catch bait, and I have no cast net. And I’m always late to the boat and I am the best and it’s a privilege to just fish with me.
I fkin hate it when I take the charter, pay all that money and a little thing is delayed or someone does something that is a bit different either the captain or the mate yells. What would you do if u went to restaurant and waiter yells at u for maybe using a spoon instead of fork? For me it just ruins the day.
Most fisherman are just passionate and want to catch fish , kind of like a football coach being hard on their players. People shouldn’t take it personally.
We always called them dolphin growing up and laughed when clients called them mahi, but with the age of the Internet and confusion with the masses thinking they were dolphin (mammals) we started calling them mahi. Key West is a different place, anyone can live the lifestyle and talk the lingo they want
Charlie is an absolute legend! He’s definitely an awesome dude, always so mellow and clean spoken!
Check his channel out for some good videos too ! Bonafideworldguide

Mahi is still on my list, we fish/charter boats out of destin and no luck on a mahi yet, crossed sailfish off recently which was so awesome. When released that sucker went straight back down into the depths, really cool to see.
Congrats on the sailfish! Mahi are definitely fun
Still would like to see you in a few swordfish shows. I still like the X3 boat videos 👍
Hopefully I’ll be back swordfishing more often out soon! 🤞🏻
i love ur catch clean and cook videos!!!!
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching
@@StanzFam yes sir

Thanks!
Nice video as always, Thank you for taking us along.
Glad you enjoyed it
I can't think of a better way to spend a summer day than fishing for mahi with friends on a nice boat!
Agreed! Thanks for watching
i love seeing the mahi videos in the summer in the keys! keep it up captain
Thanks for watching!
Around
14:05 big win for peanut oil...go GA!

Awesome! Hope you had a good time in Islamorada. Appreciate the support! Next time say hey
Charlies quote of the day, " You Can never have enough oil". It's a frickin fryer!!!😂
🙂
Oh yes great video had to mention that thank you
Appreciate it 👊🏻🙂
Hey great vid. How far out did you have to go?
20 miles at the furthest
@@StanzFam thank you! I’m in little torch key.
Baby Claire is growing fast ❤.
🙌🏻
You should try crushed up graham crackers for breading one time. Its awesome!
I’ll have to try that! Never heard of the grahams being used for that
Nick, better wash down Sarah's boat! Bet she let's you know what you missed too! That's my girl!❤ love from southeast Georgia! Dave and Toni!
Hahaha! Thanks for watching
Captain of our boat off Texas shore had us keep one fish in the water. Seemed to work as we filled the bust.
Fun day and great video!
Thank you! It was a fun
Would you be comfortable going out in 2 to 3’s in the x3?
It does great in a chop but I wouldn’t recommend running offshore in 3 footers. A foot or two chop is fine but it is still a bay boat
@@StanzFam so you think it would handle offshore kind of similar to a 25 contender bay or pathfinder 25?
Interested for myself since we live in Fort Lauderdale. I do not like going out on a 32ft in anything rough.
We primarily use it on the west coast in rookery bay but would love to go for the mahi on days permitting

@@StanzFam man, thanks for the info! This really helps a lot
I want to see you fishing tunas....I love it brother
Another awesome video stanzfam
Glad you enjoyed
Another great trip ❤❤, so relaxing 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Looks very YUMMY! THANKS
It was! Thanks for watching
How come you haven’t been useing your freeman as much? Because of gas? Or do you have another fisherman running charcters
I had to cut back on chartering due to some some health issues the past 15 months so my deckhand Capt Mike has been running most of the charters. We’ve been going out on the bay boat when it’s calm and making TH-cam videos to keep the Channel going and the bay boat costs a fraction to operate compared to the freeman.
What was the seasoning you used in the cornflakes crumbs?
🎉🎉🎉why you put all the bottle of the oil brother?
Charlie needs to use his mind😅 little bit but he looked hungry. He should have brought the basket up first then put all fish slices then put the basket back in the oil intead of throwing in slices. 😂🐬 16:30
😎
You sir, have clearly never worked at Popeyes or Bojangles.
Imma try Doritos now lol 😂 crunchy for the win
Great Video Nick, what brand of knives do you use for filleting the fish? Regards Marty. ( Melbourne Australia)
That was a victorinox. Thanks for watching
Great video
Thanks Michael! Appreciate it
I guess we're speaking Hawaiian here in Florida these days. 😂 They'll always be dolphin to me.
They used to be “dolphin” for me and all of us growing up but the name shifted the mahi with all the of tourists. We used to laugh when people called them mahi and now 20 years later we do 🤷🏻♂️
@@StanzFam as long as you don't start calling wahoo ono it's all good! 😁
Aloha, caught dolphin in Florida and mahi-mahi in Hawaii. Think too many people thought Floridians were catching Flipper.
Lol, wahoo they are!
Nick. Thanks for the content and I was hoping you could help me with a question on the X3. What is the bridge clearance height on the water. I only ask as I am moving from FTL to Pt. Charlotte and notice some of the bridges are low, about 10 feet or lower in some spots. The X3 looks are deceiving.
We’ll have to try to measure. I would guess between 9-10’ but not positive
@@StanzFam Thank you. I actually reached out to ShallowSport Boats and Wes called me and emailed me on the bridge clearance. I thought this was one of the most respectful things someone like himself in his position could do along with your quick response! Again thank you for caring and responding.
Great to hear! That’s customer service. We have been out of town for a week but hope he got you the answer you needed.
I fed the tarpon there. Surprisingly we had manatees eating fish scraps as well. Im from Mississippi and unfamiliar with them. I always assumed manatees were vegetarians.
Manatees are suppose to be, but the last decade a lot eat fish in the marinas and canals now
Beautiful day at sea ❤
Yes it was
Awesome just to many people on that boat
Thanks! Yes it’s a little crowded with more than 6
very cool you guys were killin them, I fished a lot back in the Day with Capt. Harry that owned Capt. Harrys fishing supply in Miami, RIP Capt.
Wth I don’t understand why youtube unsubs me from my channels… glad I found you all again
Interesting. Welcome back!
How does the Yamaha engines compare to the Suzuiki in price and fuel consumption?
Yamaha is more expensive but for good reason. The amount of hours we put on our 300’s is impressive. I rode on X’s with both brand engines but don’t recall the fuel burn. The first ride was 3 years ago.
My favorite fish to catch
God I wish I could have a day like this
👊🏻
Try yellow corn meal and flour add salt pepper and season pepper. No egg wash. And set peanut oil at 350 not 400. Try it you will like it 😊
Will give it a shot! Thanks
I've said it before and i'll say it again - no pepper allowed in the Stanz kitchen. Check the manual!
Sometime do deep fried beer battered fish.
Just passed by you guys in the keys
🙋🏻♂️
Most of the Mahi I have seen so far this year have been really small! How about down there? Actually the ones you caught are some of the bigger ones I’ve seen.
Definitely a lot of small ones here. It’s been hit and miss so far the past couple months too. A few nice ones on the dock but very few
Which boat is that cat with tuna tower ?
Water damage maybe? 37 Freeman
nick where is de sowrd fishing boat
Capt Mike has been running the majority of the charters on it. I had to take some time off the boat from running offshore
@@StanzFam orr okay
Was your x3 the one in the video of the drug runners picking up a bail of drugs and running from the cops in the keys 😂
🙂😬
More man more make more vids more vids
Question of the day is what’s the deal with teenage boys getting these perms 😂😂
stanzfam
Y'all really didn't pick up that trash?
Don't know if you have ever watched On Patrol Live on Friday and Saturday nite at 9 anyway last Friday a deputy sheriff had your shirt on with vest Daytona beach
Awesome, I haven’t seen it but great to hear
pov the boat behind them is pulling up hundreds at a time 😂
Thousands*
Other boat getting tons of bait. Nice boat but way shallow.
Is it the editing or u guys were just picking up Mahi Mahi 😂😂
Wheres the Bean?
He is a backcountry captain and has had his own TH-cam channel for a couple years “Bean Sportfishing TV”
Do you pull that trash out of the water after fishing it?
Mind youre business
15:33 COME ON MAAAAN = 1 HAND WET - 1 HAND DRY MIXING IT ALL
What happened to Bean?
He became a backcountry captain a couple years ago and started his own TH-cam channel “bean sportfishing tv”
Drain the fish on a wire rack. Better for all around chruch
Noted
I am nick stanzick I charge you 2000$ to go fish and I only have two Sabeckis to catch bait, and I have no cast net. And I’m always late to the boat and I am the best and it’s a privilege to just fish with me.
$4000* on the 42 Freeman. (They’re not cheap plus inflation). I don’t offer charters on the X3. Definitely not late 🙂
Capt. Nick, you really need a better looking crew 😅
Agreed 🙂
I fkin hate it when I take the charter, pay all that money and a little thing is delayed or someone does something that is a bit different either the captain or the mate yells. What would you do if u went to restaurant and waiter yells at u for maybe using a spoon instead of fork? For me it just ruins the day.
Most fisherman are just passionate and want to catch fish , kind of like a football coach being hard on their players. People shouldn’t take it personally.
400 is too hot
I love your channel but I'm praying for deermeatfordinner I hope he gets to feeling well again and can talk and be his own self
Agreed! I hope he gets back to 100% soon
As good as it is, you would be wise to stop eating FRIED food. You won't be young forever & your heart will thank you.
Noted 🙏🏻
Mediocre content sad to say . When you get back on the Freeman lmk
Thanks for watching 🙂

They would have to be some of the smallest dolphin fish I’ve ever seen.
Check out some Gulf of Mexico videos where dolphin have no size limit.
I get tired of people calling them Mahi you sound like an amateur. If you live in Hawaii sure call them Mahi but in key west it's a dolphin
We always called them dolphin growing up and laughed when clients called them mahi, but with the age of the Internet and confusion with the masses thinking they were dolphin (mammals) we started calling them mahi. Key West is a different place, anyone can live the lifestyle and talk the lingo they want
Also called Dorado in different locations around the globe.
Good times, good company
