*HUGE BLUE MARLIN*!!! Catch Clean Cook
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 ส.ค. 2021
- In this episode we find a blue marlin feeding on the surface and pitch it a dead mahi.
We only had our swordfish rods rigged up so we hooked the mahi and the marlin ate it. We wound up fighting the marlin for along time and decided to bring it home since it looked like the chance of survival was minimal. Back at the dock we fillet the marlin, FWC gets some info from it, and then we head home to cook it. We grill some up and make a Poke bowl. Enjoy

Glad to see the respect for the fish. I feel like there are too many youtubers that focus more on content than the fish's health. You guys made the right call keeping that beauty.
Thanks! I've definitely let some fish go over the years that I know died so I'm glad to keep some I normally wouldn't when I know the chances of survival are slim but we can feed a lot of people and not let it go to waste
Whenever I have to keep a trophy, when I don't want to, I think about the thousands of other fish I have released that most people wouldn't. It's no consolation but it balances my rationale.
I feel you bro. I always think about how far the fish has made it. I live on a smallish lake so I think of how long it’s been learning and thriving just for some scumbag (me 😂) to come and catch it and kill it. So I usually throw back trophies. Plus makes for good future generations
А кормить Семью ты чем собираешься? Вон смотри их там сколько
As rare these fish are getting to be and you kill it ! circle hooks!!! as you said you know better you just wanted to hang it up and kill it and take pictures shame on you
@@paulmurray8734 the only rod they had rigged large enough to handle that fish was a swordfish setup. You don’t have time to cut, re rig and tie a circle hook on when a fish like this comes close enough to the boat to pitch to it. If you need to go embrace a tree and hug it to feel better… maybe this isn’t the Channel for you.
Well having fished bluefin tuna since before you were born most likely 1969 to be exact you're not very well prepared if you go out there with no circle hooks that would be a good excuse to be used at 15 years ago and don't worry I will not be subscribing to your channel have a great day
Seeing your family enjoy the bounty is a priceless feel good moment. Dad-on brother.
Absolutely
Absolutely deserves a wall mount . We use to sell a lot of blue Marlin when I worked seafood . Good eating fish .
Awesome, That's a big blue,it could fit into one of ernest hemingways stories, Imagine catching that in a old boat with manual rigs.
Forget electric reel, that's just magic. What about 2 speed reels and line technology? Metallurgy of the hooks? Technology permeates every inch of our lives and it's amazing.
@@scottleggejr it's an irony we have taken so much from nature that one day nature will reclaim everything we every had
Hello from Queensland, Australia. What i loved about your video is that you made every viewer feel like we were part of the experience. You produced a film that was exciting to watch and learn about and most of all you did it without showing off or making it all about you. God Bless you and your family.
Thanks Hamish!
So happy to see all the positive comments. I was thinking this might have brought out the trolls. You ought to to another vid where you leave the steaks thick and cook them rare to medium rare.
Hi could you say anything on time n temp for an oven?
Sadie is precious. She behaves like a very well adjusted child. She reflects well on her parents.
I was lucky enough to be a part of a Marlin catch this summer, ~90 miles off Freeport, TX - we were able to release. I am completely in support of Capt's decision to ice this one down and share with friends, colleagues and family. Nice catch Capt!
Awesome. Thanks!
arent Marlins expensive, why release?
Because Marlin fishing is the realm of the wealthy who care more about the future of their Marlin fishery than keeping every Marlin they catch; and since they're wealthy they don't find the sport to be so "expensive" as the rest of us schleppers consider it to be. @@Super6-1FX
Great to not see any bad comments!!! Great job nick . And for anyone out there that has not met him yet! Both nick and Sarah are great people . . . Thanks again for being so personal to me and my family! Tight lines !
Thanks Mark
Thank you ALL for the sacrifice of said fish , you understand the importance of this.
Thumbs up #GB
Awesome fish! Unfortunately gut hooks are a part of fishing but the fish did not go to waste! Nice work!
Well, when using a J hook than gut hooks are oa part of fishing, a circle hook will slide thru the deep ingestion of the bait, come back up and into the mouth and snag the side lip, all this happens during the beginning stage of the bite, you mostly can be assured that while using a circle hook the fish is not harmed and can be released
@@ryeckley7267 and he let it run with it for quite a while.. 4:00 to 4:30.
@@PKB94 is there a problem with him catching this fish ? I’m trying to understand whtz the issue.
@@josephvalentine7 no, just with pretending they didn't mean to gut hook
@@PKB94 Ok got you, meaning more painful than necessary.
Glad to see FWC get involved to help further understand the species and the local fisheries. Congrats on a monster catch -- what a story for your customers!

Beautiful fish!!! 25 years a go we fight one just like that one, 3 guys on board with a yoyo and old boat in Cuba, after 4 hours we several injuries in our hands and we have to let them go. But we had it right next to the boat 3 times and unfortunately we didn't have cellphones at that time. Beautiful job brother, I always watch your videos, I wish I can go fishing with you one day.
I hit that like button just for you sweetie. You have a precious family. God Bless and Happy Fishing.
Thanks 🙂
@@StanzFam Kids are adorable at that age, then they grow up too fast.
Brings back memories in early 70's wright after HS graduation 2 buddies and myself went on a half day charter out of Ft Lauderdale, and another person on the charter we did not know. It was about the tail end of the half day, and a Blue Marlin hit, captain yelled your turn, but you have to mount it. My friends and I all passed, as we had no money to mount it. The other person said I'll take it, and the fight was on from the wooden fighting chair. Well after awhile the 4th person became so tired, we all wound up in the chair taking turns. About 4 hours into the fight we finally landed the Blue Marlin. It was a sight to see it jump out of the water and all the colors of the fish through the glistening waters. At this time the 4th persons turns to the captain and says, I changed my mind I dont want to mount it .. Well the captain from the bridge & mate who was down on the deck of this big sportfishing boat was ready to throw that guy overboard. When we finally arrived back at the dock a Miami newspaper journalist was there snapping pictures, it turned out to be a record catch.. What an experience !!
Great story!! Making memories for sure 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Did the capn mount it?
Nick this has to be the best video of yours I've watched! You showed so much in catching, especially in cleaning and tasting, very good variety of how you live and help people. Awesome job!
Thanks for the memories Nick! That was one trip Ill never forget!
It was a fun few days!
I wish i could see in action how to catch BLUE MARLINS. One in my bucket list!😍🤩🥰
🙏🏻
My lunch break was over 20 min ago. I couldn’t stop watching 🤣.
Glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻
Sometimes fish die. When they do, we eat them so don’t feel bad Nick. I bought some fresh Marlin steaks in Grand Cayman and cooked it on the grill. It was delicious. They eat it because they sell it in the grocery stores there. I understand the economics of it all. A great game fish is worth far more in the water than on a plate. It’s also an important food fish in many parts of the world. Beautiful fish, congratulations!
You are an honest, generous, devoted husband, father and captain and that’s why God blesses you with these awesome experiences.
Thanks @BG! We're trying
Congratulations from Italy!It was a great Battle!Blue Marlin Is a very difficult Fish!he Is a furious horse in the Sea.. greetings and tank you so much for video💪
Thanks 😀
Fishin’s what I love to do, doo dah, doo dah, fishin’ makes a dish delish, oh dah do dah day. Love your content. Thanks for it.
Thanks for watching
Great call on keeping the marlin, and awesome that the FWC was able to get the ear bones to study it as I am sure they don't get the chance very often. As you and I are close to same age so we grew up watching the same guy's on TV and you are as much of a legend as anyone of them. Thank you for sharing your career and family with us all
They get that chance in every kill tournament in the state. thats why i dont want to see that type of tournament go away. the vast majority of marlin get released so its one of the few opprotunities they have to harvest data.
That was an amazing sight, to see that Blue Marlin clear out of the water when she jumped!! I can see why Papa Hemingway was so obsessed with them. Congratulations on landing her, sadly gut hooks happen in our sport but you guys did the right thing icing it down, splitting it up and eating it. Hopefully the parts harvested for aging will help science understand this species better so we can have a healthy population for the next generation and beyond. Thank-you for documenting this gorgeous animal Nick, and best of luck to you this season!!
Ive always like that showing the animal hunted respect for their life. Because if I catch a fish that big it’s coming home with me! My family is going to be eating good!
🙏🏻
Didn’t have to go to the Caribbean after all for the Blue Martin. You know your Dad has got to love it!!!
Awesome content! You definitely got the point across you care about the fish's survival and not being wasted! Congrats on an epic fight and sharing such a beautiful fish with so many!
Smoked Marlin dip..oooh yah
I love love love watching your fishing videos but the highlight is cooking and seeing your beautiful family!!
Thank you 🙂🙌🏻
A Dr out of my home inlet of Manasquan, NJ still holds the record I believe at 1,800lbs tag and release for a Blue. Heart to Hear was the boats name...Cardiologist. Great work guys!!
So lucky to go out to the ocean to catch those awesome fish. 👍💪
This seems fitting, "I know a taxidermy man back home. He gonna have a heart attack when he see what I brung him." That's an amazing catch.
Hooper drives the boat chief
AMAZING !!!!! ONE fish feeds an entire community.
Love the Big Rock reference at 10:57 as a NC resident myself shows how big the Big Rock tournament really is
Can we talk about the awesome job the mate did on the handlining🤷♂️ great vid awesome fish
I remember when Sadie was still a little baby! It’s awesome to see her growing up and being awesome! Love the videos
Thanks Alex 🙂
Beautiful Trip..Good Decision to Keep the Marlin👍🏾👍🏾
They make an amazing smoked fish dip
as well. "Smoked Marlin Dip"...
Great video Nick, appreciate all you are doing.
It's really great! With such a view of the sea and fishing in the sea, the mind becomes very good.
Thank you
Nick this why you were voted captain
Of the year! Keep it up brotha and keep Pat Price in ur prayers
Praying for Pat for sure!! Good guy and a great fisherman
Always enjoy the fishing and travels. Thanks for sharing 😊
Thanks for watching
You are living the good life. Good catch man. 👏
I had to watch this again. This Marlin was a fish of a lifetime for everyone on the boat. Too bad he was deep hooked but not letting it die and become shark food was good. Exciting footage to say the least.
This was the right call. He was already brown. Great content. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great once in a lifetime catch and cook video! Thanks for sharing!
As far as I remember, marlin was pretty common in the grocery stores back in the 60s and 70s. I remember it being very similar to swordfish too.
Very similar. Had some fresh from a recent tournament. The rest of the steaks are in the freezer. I should’ve smoked a chunk of it. Also prepared some as sashimi and ceviche.
Nick, The Blue Marlin was really interesting to see it is too bad it was
gut hooked. It would be a shame to waste the fish by releasing it to die
and feed the sharks and the crabs. Excellent Decision.
Watching from philippines capt. Nick.. 👌😎
Capt Nick Awesome how you put your hand upon the after bringing it in the boat, I can imagine it's very bonding to have such a fish on the deck. The good man upstairs has blessed you the family and friends with this powerful fish. God Bless all of us and thank you for sharing this with us.
Congrats All🦈 Great care and respect that you show is wonderful. As Mike would say Proper 👍🇺🇸
I’m not quite sure why people are freaked out about eating Blues. I’ve caught and released probably 250+ blues from Cabo all the way up to Laredo in 25 years. Kept maybe 5 or 6. Fabulous eating. I am a great proponent of releasing these beautiful animals. Although when injured or over stressed they need to be kept so they don’t go to waste
Sry but I can’t understand why people doing catch and release. Can you please explain to me? In my opinion the only reason to go fishing should be to get a meal and not just taking a picture of the fish as a trophy. I think it’s really unnecessary, there are dozens of scientific studies saying that fishes feel pain equal to humans. Please tell me if I’m wrong
@@lucapasch4426 people often release the really big catches of most fish because of a couple of reasons
1. they are old and play bigs parts in the ecosystem and breed a lot .
2. If they fish is over tired or stressed its more likely they will die when released
3. Seldomly it happens (like in this video for example) where the fish will bite the bait and instead of it getting hooked close to their mouth they swallow the hook and you cant really take it out without killing them.
4. also with some fishes the older they get, the worse they taste, usually you'd want to catch them just when they hit their mature size.
5. its nice to release them so someone else can get a trophy catch and make memories, I've had friends whos have gone to the same lake and have caught the same fish 3 times because of the marking and scars on the fish.
hopefully that answers your questions
@@CARNAGExDeStRoY in a certain way yes but I still don’t understand why people hunt for trophies i think it’s just wrong and doesn’t make any sense
@@lucapasch4426 if you caught a 1805 pound marlin wouldn’t you want to have a trophy of one?
@@lucapasch4426 i mean if you still don't get why after those reasons I'm pretty sure there isn't any reasoning that is good enough for you so id just get over it and move on lmao........
I love watching ALL of this!!
Thanks for watching
We used to catch them all the time at Cibuco , Vega Baja, PR where I lived. Families ate for weeks. It does taste great.
What a thrilling experience! That was spectacular!! I would love to hang out with you guys!! Keep em coming! Be safe, stay well 🙂 Great job processing 👍
Thanks James 🙌🏻
That’s a dream billfish I would love to catch one day!!!!! Good job and happy y’all tried to let em go but it does happen great call and great eats!
Never a dull moment at Bud and Mary's 💪
Tell Kevin Dodge Tony Glynn said hey ✌️
I never tire watching this episode ...
Thanks for watching 👊🏻🎣
I have marinated both Marlin and swordfish in Zesty Italian for a few hours and then throwing them on the grill and they come out wonderful! Maybe you’ve already tried that but every time I’ve done that with the big fish , it’s a do it again kind of thing.😊
I did swordfish in Italian dressing a few times, agreed it’s very good
AMAZING catch! I didn’t think it was going to be that good food wise…maybe like kingfish…but it cooked up nicely.
Great video Nick, so much respect showen to that magnificent fish and so glad it didn’t go to waste
Normally the video is people gaffing them right away then going after “it was gonna die” much respect for actually tagging it and giving it effort
💯👊🏻
That was an amazing fishing experience!!! Loved it!! 😍
Its a shame the fish couldn't be released but that is part of fishing. Awesome catch. Definite fish of a life time, especially in the home waters.
i hate people killing animals or fish for "fun" .
@@itsmenoname2247 they didn't kill the fish for fun
@@itsmenoname2247 didn’t go to waste. Didn’t plan on taking him home. But would of been wasted if they didn’t bring it home
@@itsmenoname2247 their initial plan wasn't to keep him Listen and read please He wasn't wasted and he went to science!
I know, Nick. It was truly sad to see this majestic creature perish. But it's just part of life. A magnificent fish.
CaptNick brings in ONE BAD ASS FISH 🐠 BEST FISHING CHANNEL, ABSOLUTELY HOOKED ON CAPTNICK ‼️‼️‼️. Vinny 🇺🇸
I think there’s more marlin in the keys at certain times than most people think, a lot of the people that run into one are using too small of tackle (usually mahi tackle) to land one. I’ve noticed a decent number caught in the last few years by guys who went out and targeted them with 50-80 wides in the keys, enough that a new marlin tournament is planned for south Florida next year.
Oo a Marlin Tournament? That sounds hype asf!
love how you first explained why you kept the marlin! great video as always
StanzFam Consistently Producing Fish of a LifeTime!! Excellent Job guys, truely a superb specimen & great example of the Species!
Cute Baby Saera comments are beautiful 😍 .I am your fan from long time .your video s are informative .it's make s me crazy for sports 🎣 fishing 😆😆. Good Bless you .love you bro 👍 👍
Once in a lifetime fish y’all. Awesome. Nothing wrong with harvesting that fish as long as it’s legal. Like you said, better than it dying anyway and feeding it to dang sharks
I don't know why you'd equate legal with right especially in the field of deep sea fishing where the law is mostly decades behind on reality. I'd rather have the also endangered sharks get a good meal out of an endangered fish than people.
@@jonttul shark populations in Florida are very healthy, those who actually have experience on Florida waters will tell you that the population is probably a little too healthy.
@@brrr8904 You're a kook if you think that a "too healthy" shark population is bad for the fish population. Are the fish doing better in the Bahamas? Yep, and a "way too healthy" shark population is a key part of that. They have strong immune systems, and thus can prey on the most infection prone specimens of a species, which very much helps that stock stay robust (for millions of years). And, for what it's worth, every one involved in the catch in question is a sorry excuse for an angler, with no pride about how they do things.
@@bobh1208 you clearly don’t spend any time in our waters here in east coast Florida. Yes, sharks are amazing creatures that are necessary for a balanced ecosystem. However, when you have these so called “shark conservationists” off the south east coast of
Florida who go out and profit off of these sharks by feeding them and getting them accustomed to human interaction, this creates changes in the sharks’ behavior. This is problematic for both humans and sharks. These sharks are more aggressive and have lost their fear of humans. These sharks have learned to follow boats and have very clearly associated humans with food. This is what I was referring to, I never once mentioned in my comment that sharks are bad for fish populations.
@@brrr8904 Clearly you don't have much of a clue if you think I don't spend a "too healthy" amount of time in our waters. Then again, what sort of nonsense is "too healthy"?? The people who have too much trouble with sharks are anchored bait fishermen, who at too many spots condition fish (and sharks) to be welfare types, waiting for a free meal which they do not have to run down, with no regard for such behavior modification that they are causing, because it makes the fish lamer and lamer 'til they succumb to even their dorky rigs. If everybody would fish only lures (which you can make, can't make bait) instead of friggin electrics with chicken rigs and other loser gear, (including commercial guys, since most of the uncrusty ones know how to catch fish with lures and recreational gear better than most recreationals these days), they would catch only the most competitive fish, that there are enough of to make competitive, and things would stay better balanced, with less need for regulations other than closed spawning seasons. Or, you can just keep blaming the "behavior modification" messenger, next time one takes "your" fish. (Which, by the way, happens in plenty of the least fished parts of the Bahamas, without much behavior modification, cuz that's what sharks are there for, to eat the most defective fish before they can spawn... such as the ones lame enough to fall for "free" lunches.)
Awesome catch Nick, gut hooks do happen some times unfortunately.. would’ve loved to see him being fought without the electric tho, seeing how special that fish was. I’m sure someone could’ve had the (unexpected) fight of a lifetime on stand up.. amazing catch nonetheless!
Definitely more fun on a conventional reels, but the only big reels we had were the electric swordfish reels on the boat, hence hooking the bait on there
@@StanzFam understood, thanks for the reply!
So agree it’s a shame that the fish was hooked on a power reel, would have loved to see such an amazing fish given the respect of being fought by hand. But it’s legal and circumstances didn’t allow it, so congrats to Capt Nick and the lucky angler.
I’m a fisherman but I wanted this beautiful powerhouse of a creature to break free and fight another day!
Man you guys seem like such great parents. Hope I can be as great as you some day.
We try! Far from perfect but we learn every day . Thanks for watching
Awesome fish! Love watching the kids eat the good stuff, ours do the same. If they only knew how good they got it! Haha
Thank you 🙌🏻
Are you concerned about mercury?
@@keyanuka don't eat Fish stick to your Burger King, or dominos pizza
Ones in while we buy fresh free cut blue marlin at the market, its so expensive here in my country..
Awesome fish! I got my Blue Marlin off of Jamaica, we caught 2 that day mine was 200lbs so this one is a beast! And, they do taste good. When I first saw you all pull it in the boat I was thinking about the Old Man and the Sea. :D
Great trip looking forward to your next trip.
Thanks for watching
Hi Guys.
Great To See The Ladies of The House.
Happy Weekend.
Extra Hugs From Uncle Carlyle for The Princesses 👸💖
Thank you! Have a good weekend as well
I love that you explained why you kept this fish, but I hate that you felt like you had to. If it’s legal, ethical and puts food on the table that’s all that should matter! Pretty work boys!
That rocks. Look at all the fat marbled in the meat. Wow, that is a gorgeous fish
Wow what a spectacular fishing trip. The strike of a predatory fish that is extremely challenging, great 👍
Thanks for watching
Incredible video. Love that you showed what was in its stomach that is something not seen often.
Absolutely awesome Nick! Congrats!
How long was the fight?
Hope your mounting this one.
What did your Dad have to say? Lol
Watching you clean that thing was mind bottling. I live in Illinois. I clean fist that are usually 1-2lbs. Yikes.

The size of your bait was like the size of the fish I caught in my most recent video! what date was this caught?
late july during his last swordfish camp, it says it in his last vid i think
Man what an amazing catch. Although it was painful to watch such an amazing fish being caught on a power reel. But it’s legal and to each their own so congrats.
I feel the same way. Heard the excuse that for deeper baits it takes to long to reel in. This cheapens the catch big time imo. Hate that power reels are legal.
Great Job guys from Sea to Table! Excellent video Nick...Congrats on a great fish. Most Captains would have never got that fish to take the bait!
CONGRATULATIONS, GUY ALL WAYS YOU THE BEST EVER
not sure i'd eat blue marlin lol ton of mercury in those bad boys we dont sell them on the market here in aus because of the mercury content.
Fish has high mercury.
Very cool. Thanks for sharing this rare experience. 👍
