Will never stop admiring your family. It reminds me of my family when we fish for seabass, porgy, blackfish and fluke. Definitely going to cut down on fish maybe due to mercury in the fish but for sure cut out all the fast food and junk. Exercise is the most important medicine! dropped 30 pounds since april!
I love your Dad & Mom💝🌞 Ive caught one ,but used it for bait.Hard to believe a Jurassic 🧛♀️ Vampire looking fish could taste good ,but I trust Dad🎣Hi Eric cool chill guy 😎
Thanks for preparing it. We have been catching these fish for years and just toss them back. We fish in our kayaks down at HRBT at night in Hampton, VA. Now I know how to cook them! New fish meal on the menu!
Awesome to you guys share how to actually cook this fish through all the steps, something y'all should include regularly, I'm new to saltwater fishing, most of my experience is freshwater, so to see these different species caught, cleaned and cooked is very informative!!!! Thanks!!!
Loved the cooking video! We have family of anglers and have always used the ribbon fish for bait, never eating them! Of course we’ve never focused on just that fish, this was a great video for that! Thank you for all your videos! Thank you Erin, Mom and Dad and Brandon for always keeping it all in the family
Gotcha is the best for belt fishing. I barely missed them and caught a cooler full of them. You should give it a try. (Twitching method) that fish is great eating too. Cut them up to portions and deepfried . Woooooh. Such an amazing fish
Hey in my country they call them cutlass fish....nice fish to eat an they get 2 too 3 times bigger than that...am from trinidad and tobago.....great videos bro...👍👍👍👍
thanks! Happy you enjoy our content. Have you seen all of the fishing gear we sell? Check out my website, we have a ton of new fishing products (not just baits) to help you.
In the Hampton Roads/ Tidewater region of Virginia those are called Ribbon Fish. They are oftentimes caught at night when we're fishing for Specks & Puppies. They are a nuisance always cutting the tails off soft plastic lures. They are usually thrown back.
Ribbon fish. Exelent for king fish bait. Korean people love it though. Used to fish for them in Titusville, Florida and sell them for King Fishing Tournament @ $1 a fish. They are almost top water feeding with sinning lure Line Got-Cha lure.
Wow, what a great video. Just found your channel, learned so much. We caught some of these on a head boat out of indian river del. two years ago, noone knew what they were. Thru them back of course, silly us! Thanks so much for the info. Bless you and yours.
Who knew they tasted so good. Never tried one, Ive hooked into some pretty big ones up here in NC . always looks like good bait because of the silver skin
Reminds me of a meal I had in Tokyo - fresh eel fried in a tempura batter. Just to die for. But only take as much as you know you can eat right then and there, because after maybe 45 minutes it starts getting fishy.
Luminous lures are awesome for ribbon fish, in my country people fish them mostly with cut bait, but often the anglers put a chemical light attached to the rig near the bait for attract them
They use Zelinsky for one purpose to get rid of dissatisfied people and the government is aimed and made to solve economic problems by setting up a war and Ukraine another picture to help to get back in power and let the war get rid of pensioners and all debts and unnecessary people once again gets rid of problems, and we people interfere with the rich and incumbent president to manage the war. The president and neither side went to the ceasefire and it means that the genocide in two points was organized, the war helps the economy in the West and was quoted in a Russian newspaper. People have become dumber and do not understand what is happening. And the authorities do not change that they brought to genocide not guilty neither one side nor the other. Media say one thing, victims say another, and presidents do not want to hear another. They want to block the world from others, block TH-cam and continue to gossip about what is good and what is bad, that power, that we achieved this genocide by the hands of the West at the expense of the president , we did not think and no one thought, and do not want to think only lives are wasted when there is no logic of war and everyone is to blame. Let's change everything and stop touching Russia and become a genocide, it helped in the plan of natural resources ❤❤❤❤❤
ALL predatory fish have some mercury, and the higher on the food chain, the more mercury they have. Even in freshwater, if you're fishing in a river that originates in Canada, you need to watch your intake. You know the town in Colorado, called Golden? They called it that not because they found gold, but because they use mercury to separate the gold from the mineral matrix it's in; the reaction turns the water GOLDEN when they dump it in the river. The US doesn't do that anymore; we have the EPA now, but Canada looks the other way because the gold mining company has SOOOOO much money.
I would love to see you out on the pier sometime! I go there a good bit and I just moved to Jacksonville back in May. I love belt fish! Grew up eating them at home.
@@HeySkipper I hope so! I would love to see your techniques and share fishing knowledge! I learn something new every time I’m at that pier! I also go surf fishing quite a bit at Fernandina.
Just clean and cut to portion size.. no need to fillet . Shioyaki just grill after basting the belt fish in a little olive oil and pinch of salt . A very hot grill and quick blistering of thea skin . Yum!
Great video, I am going down to Florida soon and I might have to see if I can catch a few of those to try and eat. I do have a question though, who makes those jigs you are using? I would actually like to get and try some of those up here in Michigan for pike, bass and walleye.
These ribbon fish love free flowing bait . Best way to catch them is like that viewer said cut bait no sinker or weight drop the line and let it sink through the columns naturally and they hook themselves
Hello again, I know this fish, we buy them frozen , and fry them. Indeed tasty kind of fish, can just imagine how delicious it would be , fresh from the ocean.
Caught multiple of these last night at Kure pier in NC. Gonna keep them next time. Didn't know what it was, I was calling them vampire fish cuz of those fangs.
You can use multiple lures silver spoons, white or silver grubs. For a good hatd bait use the red and white glass minnow. Because the teach will cut your line have wire with a luminous light as the leader.
We have been catching them off Ocean City Maryland. It is crazy! Where did all these come from? I have never seen them before. I heard from a guy who went out wading for flounder and trout and all they caught were these things. Apparently they hang vertically mid-water to grab the bait. Why are there so many so suddenly?

Kings love ribbon fish. Excellent bait.

Nice, have fun! Nighttime or daytime?
I really appreciate you cleaning them in front of us so i can learn
I have learned a lot from your videos and techniques, greetings from Barranquilla Colombia
Hey in my country they call them cutlass fish....nice fish to eat an they get 2 too 3 times bigger than that...am from trinidad and tobago.....great videos bro...👍👍👍👍
Great content, i mite be ordering some of them salted baites soon
thanks! Happy you enjoy our content. Have you seen all of the fishing gear we sell? Check out my website, we have a ton of new fishing products (not just baits) to help you.
Very nice family. I have only recently found your channel and I love to watch you fish and give advice.
Thanks man wishes for you and your family 😁
In the Hampton Roads/ Tidewater region of Virginia those are called Ribbon Fish. They are oftentimes caught at night when we're fishing for Specks & Puppies. They are a nuisance always cutting the tails off soft plastic lures. They are usually thrown back.
Especially fishing on base their everywhere but it's good eating
I've always thrown them back too. Today my son caught a 3ft long one and we're gonna try to fix it up like this. Heard they are good.
In Australia we call them Hairtail ......... we catch them up to 6' long.😉
Some call them Cutlass Fish
Holy moly
Ribbon fish. Exelent for king fish bait. Korean people love it though. Used to fish for them in Titusville, Florida and sell them for King Fishing Tournament @ $1 a fish. They are almost top water feeding with sinning lure Line Got-Cha lure.

Great kingfish and cobia bait!
Shiny fish. Looks like something you decorate Christmas Trees with.
Was just at this pier earlier today and caught a nice sized spanish mackerel on a gotcha lure!
excelllent. you caught them.
That's life!
Looks like everyone was having a great time!😊
Who knew they tasted so good. Never tried one, Ive hooked into some pretty big ones up here in NC . always looks like good bait because of the silver skin
You should deep fry them. They like luminous lures and sometimes sinking minnow. A lot of them if the bottom is sorta muddy with sand.
Very interesting! I will have to try them deep fried that sounds delicious!
Reminds me of a meal I had in Tokyo - fresh eel fried in a tempura batter. Just to die for. But only take as much as you know you can eat right then and there, because after maybe 45 minutes it starts getting fishy.

Would you please let me know where to fish for them?

More accurately known as a Cutlassfish, Ribbonfish, as suggested by others, is technically a different fish.
Atlantic cutlassfish are sometimes eaten by humans but should not be consumed in large quantities because they contain high levels of mercury.
ALL predatory fish have some mercury, and the higher on the food chain, the more mercury they have. Even in freshwater, if you're fishing in a river that originates in Canada, you need to watch your intake. You know the town in Colorado, called Golden? They called it that not because they found gold, but because they use mercury to separate the gold from the mineral matrix it's in; the reaction turns the water GOLDEN when they dump it in the river. The US doesn't do that anymore; we have the EPA now, but Canada looks the other way because the gold mining company has SOOOOO much money.
I miss these pier episodes!
I missed the pier!
Very nice looking fish love that chrome look 🤩 eel barracuda kinda thing 😂
Cool, very very interesting. Thanks
Ribbon fish I catch them all the time in the gulf they love shrimp they’re really annoying lol great video 👍
Here on the Gulf Coast that is a ribbon fish we catch them by the hundreds of pounds in shrimp nets. One of the best king mackerel baits you can use.
Awesome fish and recipe. Would love to be able to try it someday
GREAT CATCH AND LOOKED DELICIOUS. TIGHT LINES, MY FRIENDS...
I would love to see you out on the pier sometime! I go there a good bit and I just moved to Jacksonville back in May. I love belt fish! Grew up eating them at home.
Will probably bump into you one day!
@@HeySkipper I hope so! I would love to see your techniques and share fishing knowledge! I learn something new every time I’m at that pier! I also go surf fishing quite a bit at Fernandina.
Ribbonfish. We couldn't stop catching them from the fishing jetty at Kipotoke State Park near Cape Charles Virginia
Keep up the good work
Thanks for watching! 👌🎣
In Australia they are called hairtail and are mainly caught in winter in certain waters in NSW. They grow up to 5 feet in length
Yup they are indeed called cutlass fish, belt fish, and largehead hairtail.
They are so cool! What do you call them?
@@HeySkipper I just call them cutlass fish cuz it's the first name i knew..
THAT AWOSOME I LOVE IT
Ribbonfish are beautiful to look at and fun to catch, but I've never eaten them.....
They are certainly beautiful!
Taste like flounder and seabass to me
Oh we love em here, the meat is so sweet. Pan fry then dip in soy sauce and I can eat 3 bowl of rice 😁😁😁
They have them at Cape Charles Virginia, pretty cool
FYI Cut these into squares and chunk them out. Spanish Macs love these.
Just clean and cut to portion size.. no need to fillet . Shioyaki just grill after basting the belt fish in a little olive oil and pinch of salt . A very hot grill and quick blistering of thea skin . Yum!
In South Africa we call that fish Wala Wala. Thanks for the recipe. Never eaten one yet. Will definitely try it out
Kai sends you many greetings from Germany from the city of Leipzig
I'm here for the catch & cook 😅 lol I ate that before tasted pretty good fried
Hey I KNEW there would be a catch and cook SUPER 🆒😋👍
I’ll have to try it fried next time, sounds good! Thanks for watching 👍
we call them hairtail in australia
Hi in Australia we call those fish hair tail they grow over a metre long very nice 🐟
Beautiful family my friend ❤
The rice water is excellent fertilizer, smart move. The heads and tails will be great Grouper and Emporer fish bait.
There massive in Australia my pb is a 6 finger hairtail
Oh love that fish , just cut them in like 3 inc then salt pepper and fry it! Delish!
Great video, I am going down to Florida soon and I might have to see if I can catch a few of those to try and eat. I do have a question though, who makes those jigs you are using? I would actually like to get and try some of those up here in Michigan for pike, bass and walleye.
Do some pin riggin for kings next!
ribbon fish are all over the place in cape canaveral during the winter.
Skipper, I have noticed you using a couple different drones. Is there one that you endorse or recommend?
These ribbon fish love free flowing bait . Best way to catch them is like that viewer said cut bait no sinker or weight drop the line and let it sink through the columns naturally and they hook themselves
That’s great advice- I went back and tried cut bait the next time I went out and it was awesome! Such a fun way to catch fish 👍 thanks for watching!
@@HeySkipper I’m glad it worked it also works for barracuda the smaller ones
Hello again, I know this fish, we buy them frozen , and fry them. Indeed tasty kind of fish, can just imagine how delicious it would be , fresh from the ocean.
Good bait to
Nice raibbon fish 👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍
Thank you for watching! 😊🙏👍
In Australia, we wipe the skin down with a hessian/burlap material. It removes the metallic coating.
Hey. What months are you catching ribbon fish or bell fish?
What size line you use
Caught multiple of these last night at Kure pier in NC. Gonna keep them next time. Didn't know what it was, I was calling them vampire fish cuz of those fangs.
You can use multiple lures silver spoons, white or silver grubs. For a good hatd bait use the red and white glass minnow. Because the teach will cut your line have wire with a luminous light as the leader.
Where did you buy the jig heads?
A small one makes an excellent live bait!
Catching them in NJ from the surf and party boats.
That does look tasty.
We have been catching them off Ocean City Maryland. It is crazy! Where did all these come from? I have never seen them before. I heard from a guy who went out wading for flounder and trout and all they caught were these things. Apparently they hang vertically mid-water to grab the bait. Why are there so many so suddenly?
I’m not sure! I also heard that they hang vertically- how wild is that?? Such a cool fish
@@HeySkipper In OC I fish with Capt.Monty, long time skipper. He had not seen them before last year. Just weird.
Some caribbean islands called them cutlass fish
Very cool! Any Caribbean recipes you can throw my way?
known as Wala Wala in south Africa, good bait for Couta
A glo in the dark shrimp Sabki rig work at catching ribbon fish
most excellent 👍
Good job 👍
The ribbon fish or, also called belt fish is also good eaten as *sashimi.*
Where did u get that jig head
are you back in the dmv or did your parents move to florida as well??
Bella familia
Hi
Nice catch
Hi. Thanks for watching! 🙌🎣🙏
Nice fish!
What fishing pier is that in what state? I looking to move to FL I wish I can find a good fishing area.
In Jamaica they are called cutlass fish and get up to 3-4ft long.
In Brazil we catch them either with small sinkinh minnows or like Eric? said, we use cut bait on a floater with a small glowstick
What size stick , reel and lines you using?
