@@KeyWestWaterman Haha that fish in the bucket was epic! What a story. Curious though, why put the bucket back in the ocean instead of bringing it home and throwing it out? Thanks!
If you dont already have one please invest in a Man overboard kill switch and consider wearing an auto-inflator. Six or so months ago a guy up in NC fell out of his boat and was never found. His boat was found. Theory is he may have slipped off the gunnel messing with an out rigger. Boat was in gear.
I grew up eating a lot of fish, fresh fish. (Newfoundland). You talked about salt/pepper being your preferred seasoning for some fish. That’s the only thing I even had on fish until I was in my twenties and living in the city and purchasing fish. If I have good fish I wouldn’t spoil it with heavy seasoning. I worked in a good French restaurant while in school and so learned that they use clarified butter. It adds a little to whatever oil. Costco sells clarified butter (not refrigerated). This from Wikipedia; Lobotes tripletails are found in warm waters throughout the world. They are coastal fishes and can be found in estuaries, bays and inlets and will often be found around man-made objects, typically singly but they will school at times. Juveniles often float among Sargasssum weed. It’s pretty cool to see exactly what the textbook describes about the fish hanging around a bucket or a piece of flotsam. You guys cooked the fish perfectly!
Hey, regarding the clarified butter, you can make one at home. It's simple. Put a pinch of salt in the regular butter and let it simmer on a low heat, after few minutes the white "foam" will start to gather on the surface, scoup the foam and remove it, keep removing it until there's no foam left, that's about the time when the melted butter turns it's color to brownish and you have the clarified butter (beurre noissete). Strain it into some kind of metal or ceramic bowl and refrigerate it. That's it.
I am just north of you about ten miles. I had a 14" tripletail here in the channel off the seawall. It was in a protected bay. We often have small 3-6 inch juveniles, but that was the biggest I have seen this close in. Nice tripletail catch and thanks for showing cleaning it.
I appreciate that you didn't throw the rib meat out like so many do. Another way to save the rib meat of any fish is to lay the whole skinned filet gut side down on the table and put your knife in at the rib side of the pin bones and filet the meat off the ribs just like you fileted it off the skin. This gives you a boneless mini filet. You CAN leave them attached, but I separate them and cook them separate from because they cook faster than the thicker pieces.
This was a nice deviation from your mangrove fishing, which i love as well. I fished with my dad in the early 70's when he was stationed in key west... we did a lot of drift fishing. Love your channel.
Glad your summer is cooler. See, as a native, I need to live in the Keys. My fav place. We are sweltering here in Stuart, FL. The heat and humidity is off the charts!
When i first saw you hold the tripletail, my first thought was "hmm, I've cut myself on those gillplates way too many times to hold them there!" 😂😂 Then saw you fall into the same trap! Great vid bro
Just got home from flyfishing on the frying pan in Basalt Colorado and realized Holy shit there’s a new episode of Key West Waterman. Always look forward to it on Monday.
Love your show that ocean in the morning looked like a lake. I've lived in pompano bch. for 57 years. Moved down when I was 10 use to go fish with my grandparents at their trailer in Morehead N.C. I love fishing I'd love to get a boat now that I have grandkids.
We catch big ones on buoy chains along with Cobia. but you have to have someone on the motor in reverse to help get them away from the chain and your thumb on the spool to prevent drag.
Trigger is my favorite tasting fish. I've tried about them all in a taste test. We cut fresh cobia, king, reds, snapper etc etc into nuggets for taste test and it is just so clean.
Thanks for the video update about your storm situation. Got pretty spicy up here in Tarpon Springs. Noticed South Florida Fishing Couple started watching you. Mentioned it on their last vid. Keep up the great work.
Great video! Enjoyed the live stream Q&A as well. "I know I should have trawled this debris a couple of times, but... you know... I like lookin' at stuff. When you know you know." Yes, Aaron, you legend! We know! 😂🤣😂 ✌️❤️🚀🤠
Love your videos brother. I really like watching you on your different boats, i have a smaller boat so the inshore fishing info i get is awesome.. and then all the offshore stuff i get to use when on friends boats. Keep doing your thing man always waiting for a new upload lol
One of my favorite fish,usually their to small to keep. I could not get over the thickness of that awsome T tail. Really enjoyed this vid, fish gods were with you as always!!! Look forward to your next adventure.
This makes the second time watching this video, obviously I am a big fan of you and your channel. You live what I dream of being able to do.Im not dead yet, one way or another I'm going to try and FUFILL that dream.Just love being out on the water, weather I'm fishing or not. Again thanks for doing what you do.
i love bottom fishing....you doing prospecting on ledges is my jammmmm up here in NJ... i love trying new snags. We need to get you a rhodan or a minn kota, drifting suuuuucks!!!! total game changer. I Love your stuff aaron i look forward to it each week
Caught my PB Tripletail down in Apalachicola last year. It was 31”s and actually went back to the same buoy later and caught his little brother at 28”s. They are so fun to catch! And honestly they are one of my favorite eating fish too!😎
You can check triple tail off your bucket list. I found a floating five gallon bucket half mile off the port Canaveral entrance on a jet ski. It was full of fish and a small tripple tail. I had all this bait and no pole. Very cool find
We get tripletail inshore/nearshore in Louisiana-Alabama every year during late summers on debri. Always fun catching them on lightweight tackle inshore!
Excellent video... This fish is really delicious to eat... My daughter has a cat the same color as yours and she loves watching your video and especially when your cats appear.
Dude you live the life I wish I could do what you do I love your channel the content and you have a wonderful wife. I've seen 3/4 of your videos over the years. I love them all I like how you dance around with different types of Adventures so it's not so the same thing everyday boring also your bravery. Keep doing what you're doing I admire you from my couch
When you were drifting in fast on the floating plastic I was saying '"don't scare the big tripletails off". That 23 is about as big as the dumb ones get, after that they either dive and stay down or you got to sneak up on them and not stress them. That's a nice fish. Nice to know they'll eat the squid. Remember, tell everyone you know they are terrible eating and LOADED with worms....
I’ve caught triple tails 20-25 miles from the gulf in charlotte harbor. They migrate certain times of the year. We get a lot on stone crab buoys in the winter.
Way to put a nice little box together exploring new spots! Thanks again for the shoutout and for being a positive influence on fishing and conservation. We do still have gear too! 👍
That large triple tail bite was sweet. Looks like the little one triggered his "eat now or lose it" instinct. And the meal at the end... Dang! the golden brown crisp on one side but juicy still inside.
I’ve caught many triple tail at wonga beach far North Queensland .They come in right on the beach and I catch them on a small hook .Smoke the backbone in a brine of brown sugar and salt water ,beautiful.
Triple tail is my favorite fish in florida.its very rare for me to catch them in crystal river . Last time I caught one was by the spoil banks by one of our bait buoys . caught him on a one inch pinfish he ended up being 21 1/2 inches.
Be sure to check under all bouys and bug channel markers. Anything that floats can have them, and they like the same channel markers and stuff that cobia like. When I was able to get out to fish for tripletail we caught a lot under stone crab trap floats. My favorite bait for them is a live shrimp, they can't pass it up if you cast it in the right spot.
Pensacola guy here...we see triple tail come inshore to the bay and intercoastal in late summer I believe. See them on dock pilings, floating stuff, crab trap buoys.
30K views in 9 hrs. Knew it must have been a good one. I,will be watching since I got a total knee replacement today. And you usually make a video on Monday. I have a few months before diving or much fishing. So I’ll be watching fishing and diving videos.
Thank you for the video! Good job. 😊 You don't have to answer back. I am just commenting so the algorithm will favor your channel. BTW love the new stove señor!😊👍
The water up here in Sarasota is flat calm just like your water, but there’s so much debris in the water. I can’t get out to go fish fishing and it’s killing me. But I’m enjoying this video.
I was born and raised in Sarasota. All the damage on the news is awful but I was happy to see Midnight Pass open again. I hope it keeps flowing. When I was a kid it was a great place to catch snook. And the Bay needs the water movement. I miss snook fishin' and a lot of other stuff about Sarasota. But I'm staying in Virginia until you can grow your own cannabis in Florida legally. I've been catching flounder all summer and quite a few redfish and some trout. The flounder are about to go offshore but the reds and trout are going to pick up. But it's also going to be cold for a FL man.
@@strayedcat1966 I know, FL is going to vote on recreational this November and didn't include home grows in the bill because it was written by the people who own the dispensaries. Very typical Florida.
We have recently started using our air fryer for fish. I use some Q-sat (SPG on steroids) let is sit for and hour, cover it with mayonnaise and bake on high at 400 until it browns and is flakey. WOW amazing. Really enjoy your videos!

I can't believe you just picked up the bucket and caught it! amazing!!
haha right I couldn't either
That was crazy.
I can't believe they didn't spook. If I get near them on the inshore buoys they dive.
@@KeyWestWaterman Haha that fish in the bucket was epic! What a story. Curious though, why put the bucket back in the ocean instead of bringing it home and throwing it out? Thanks!

Used to frequent a fish shop. The owner’s son got tangled in line and was pulled overboard. Disappeared.
Best part about Mondays 👍

Fact!
Amen
Dude. I have been following you for years. You two are an exceptional couple. The mutual admiration and respect for each other is wonderful.
Thanks captain, I love how you only keep what you need and let the others go for another day
Good people and she did amazing job with crust and cooking to perfection, thanks for sharing
Outstanding filleting of the "tripletail" sir!
I like how you and your wife team
Up in the kitchen. That's always a nice sign of a healthy relationship. You did that fish awesome

These are cool style vids, teaching folks how you locate structure to find fish. Awesome TT too. Great vid man.

The 60s and 70s was great years it wasn't really fishing it was just throwing the bait or lure out and try to get it back🎉
love finding new secret spots!!
Thanks for taking us along!! God bless y'all
🙏

You got you a Canaveral Buoy Bass! Just like the good ole days. Nice work dude! One of the best eating fish in the ocean
That was fabulous. And that meal..!
so good!
Snook & Triple Tail are on my "Eat Before I Die" bucket list. Great video.
When i first saw you hold the tripletail, my first thought was "hmm, I've cut myself on those gillplates way too many times to hold them there!" 😂😂 Then saw you fall into the same trap! Great vid bro
Must be a rock down there if you get a trigger. Love the channel man! Always fun!
Just got home from flyfishing on the frying pan in Basalt Colorado and realized Holy shit there’s a new episode of Key West Waterman. Always look forward to it on Monday.
Sounds like a nice balance in the ways the 2 of you cook. Need the southern food to balance out the fish! Love you guys!
amen!
Dude, that was a killer triple tail bite!
right! I was pumped
so entertaining....triple tail joy!!!

Hi from Scotland. Love these videos Erin. Thanks
First timer. Very nice show. Well done.
Maybe you should trade your expensive rods for platic buckets! 🤣🤣🤣🎣 that was an epic catch! 👌🤟👍✌️♥️🇨🇦😉🎣
haha right!
Thank you for bringing us along for another great adventure.
Absolutely my favorite is a hog fish! Hands down!
Love the bucket catch…that was the best!
A Giant Pelagic Crappie😉
Crappie needs to take over for the bluegill "joke"
Except everything on them is sharp as hell! Gill plates fins etc…😎
Man, that is a mighty tasty treat. The triple tail that is.
We catch big ones on buoy chains along with Cobia. but you have to have someone on the motor in reverse to help get them away from the chain and your thumb on the spool to prevent drag.
Great video Mr. Young. Nice catch on that triple tail

Here in Costa Rica, some time you can caught them in the mouth of some Rivers in the pacific. Also in a juvenil size in the mangrove 🇨🇷
WoW those dual Merc's are so quiet and great on fuel!
Hopefully you got a great deal on them and they sponsor you as well.
They should.............
They really are! love them!
It was great running into during the singer song writer festival. Keep up the great videos thanks for the escape.
Hope you, your family and boat are all okay... stay safe the next couple days bud.
Seen some big Tripletails on lobster and crab bouys near Smith Shoal and you are right that was a big one for the Keys and they tear your hands up
That's some very nice looking fish. TTT is on my bucket list.

Noice, that triple tail looks delicious ! Nice outing 👊👍
That was cool as hell when you pulled up to the shit floating in the ocean with nice fish under them.
Love the vid sir, awesome to see the spot finding process and get to hang out for the ride while i'm stuck at home! Thanks Aaron, keep it up boss 🤙
Beautiful! Enjoyed every minute!
Snappery. I learned a new word today Captain. Keep digging.
such an amazing video of you out there alone and then the catch cook clean at the end epic great video bro 2 thumbs up
Sight fishing like that is such fun.

I wish I was with you going out on that beautiful water!
Those ribs look like they’d cook up good on that triple tail. Great video buddy!!!
These are my favorite videos

I just found your channel Aaron. Great vibe, beautiful camera work, instant follow
Welcome! Love to hear it 🙏🏻
Thanks guys! Great CCC video🎉🎉🎉
Looked delicious! Those triple tail remind me so much of a crappie. God Bless
haha I never thought of that so true
I always was reminded of bluegills, but I've never caught crappie. When I lived in Florida tripletail and cobia were my favorite targets on a boat.
Where I’m from those barracuda’s never see a second life. Nice videos bro 👍
