      For the ones who put in the time and figured out what works and what doesn't, they understand! My hat goes off to those guys. Years of knowledge that allows them to go out and get it done. While some think simply trolling around for hours wasting fuel is the only way.

      @@weistortny imagine spending years gathering knowledge not only from your personal experience but also from those who came before you; knowing that there are others who would love to just obtain that knowledge putting in zero effort. Inevitably, you’ll say “let them figure it out on their own!”

    I have fished for Kingfish during the mid-seventies in the lower keys. We filled the boat when we got on the school. The blurred fish in the video look a lot smaller than the 3 to 4 foot catch we enjoyed back then. The fishery must be a lot smaller now. I will say that the schools are usually pretty deep so the lure you use has to be pretty heavy and stand out in the dark of the deep depths. Kings really attack flashes they see when they are biting. Steel leader is a must. I don’t think I have shared too much but I wanted to express a little bit about how we fished for Kings back then.

    Back in the day... 1970's - 80's, I knew of a bunch of Cuban commercial fishermen out of Miami that fished live baits with hand lines only and usually drifting or slow trolling while throwing live chum. Much bigger kings, wooden inboard slow boats.

    • @comfortablynumb9342
      @comfortablynumb9342 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I have been on the boat with my friends in Costa Rica when they used hand lines. Snapper aren't too hard, but the tuna and mahi mahi were a battle. I always preferred my rods. And I did better trolling than they did, but on the bottom those guys outfished me every time.

    Brought back memories. Used to charter and commercial fish off Miami. We used to move the boat up to Jupiter for the kingfish run. Had commercial kingfish permit as well as a restricted species permit. Tough way to make a living. Many viewers probably don't know that king mackerel don't bring near the price per pound as most other fish.

    Thanks for sharing the reality of commercial fishermen. I totally embrace your honesty. Did not know the current end use of Kings till you mentioned it at the end. I have eaten it in my younger days and to say it was terrible is being kind. I am sure it was the way it was cooked. Guessing smoked kingfish might be ok given the oil in the flesh lessening the chance of a dry outcome.

    Coming from Texas for the most part everyone considers them a sport fish and say they aren't good eating. Except for smoked fish dips. But I've been living in Qatar for the past 2 yrs and I actually catch meter long kingfish from shore here. The shelf drops off to 20-30 meters deep within 5m from shore. I think they taste amazing. I only caught 2 back when I lived in texas and I remember the meat was really gray like barracuda. These over here have more pink/white flesh.

    3) Any spots, equipment, and /or techniques that you found, made, or invented... You can keep them a secret or tell anyone as long as they heed rule #2 until rule #1 is in play because you told so many people.

    That doesn’t look all that different than commercial albacore fishing out west except they use much stouter poles and barbless semi straightened jigs so the fish pop right off then they can get back in the water. They chum a bit which is what I’d bet these guys might doing off camera to bring the school up.

    Crack that whip.
    Give the past the slip
    Now whip it.
    Into shape
    Shape it up.
    Get straight.
    Go forward.
    Move ahead.
    Try to detect it.
    It’s not too late.
    To whip it
    Whip it good

    Aaron, I want to be a commercial fisherman. How do i go about doing that, being that they dont give out commercial fishing licenses anymore?

    I have to give your editing skills props. I sat here and paused every time the fish came over the rail. Zoomed in at all different points. just to see if I could figure out what you were using . Not a single slip up sometimes people will blur images on a video but you'll get one or two frames that are not blurred out. Not with you my friend great job.

    You guys are funny blurred lures funny funny funny. have you ever fished the salmon river up in New York then you know exactly the kind of fishing that they’re doing here. Ethical people would despise it whatever it’s commercial fishing that’s away it’s done. My wife’s family in Newfoundland when they mackerel fish they use a 200 foot line with a 2 pound weight at the end and every foot they have a red tube lure on a hook and just drop that sucker over the side and pull it up and down about 10 times and then just start cranking a big spool and unhook them as they come over the side. They catch a lot of fish every drop

    The blurring has me intrigued, after 15 minutes of research i found out the exact jig, color pattern, seller of those jigs, and even the mold to make them myself. Thanks youtube!
