Deep Drop Fishing West End Bahamas and Cooking the Catch for Lunch at sea in a Crooked Pilothouse 

The island in this video was gorgeous. Great day out in seas captain.

Fellow captain out of Dana Point Ca here! Just subscribed, awesome videos man! I have a 20’ Shamrock cuddy, I always get jelly when I see those Parkers sliding by. She’s reel purdy🤙🏽

Nice black fin snapper.

Pulling them from 400' good job captain

fish skin for fish same here capt .at Wamena we cut Tuna and slice them up .and send waste to ocean and ate by fish as well ...

Love your adventure capt. I got nervous when you got stuck. I hope to god Minn Kota is sponsoring your adventure! They should.

That was some nice fishing action, but 400+ feet of water with a regular reel is rough. Anyway I feel I am ready for a Bahamas trip this year. Had a few trips this year with close to 100 miles of navigation round trip. I feel with the proper safety equipment and good planning it wont be too bad. Really happy to see you back in the Bahamas, stay safe Cap.

Capo you make it look so easy pulling them up but per editing :-) I love the water color in the Bahamas. You inspired me to do more cooking at home by watching how good you eat on your trips. You need to get in that water and catch some of them water bugs aka lobsters bro. You got the whole place to your self- How outrageous :-o

Once you get your 50 footer Your wife will be happy going to the islands with you

Nice catch and great video

That was weird only that one snapper with its yellow eyes 👀 popped out. I'm assuming it's because of the 400' depth but it's weird it didn't happen to the others. I've caught them where I think it's the bladder that pops out of thier mouths...weird. good job not panicking when you were stuck on the sand bar!

I could be wrong but I think he's fishing at 400 ft.

thank you so much for taking the time to share your adventures

Amazing footage from up high! Love these Bahamas trips.

Blackfin snapper. Great trip. Enjoy your vids.

You are like me you like he challenge of these passage. Difference is you take it a step further and even live off the water food wise! Love It!!

Greetings Capt.!! You are by far the best on RU-vid,your videos and adventures are fun to watch but at the same time are very educational and what I love the most is you share your experiences and knowledge with your viewers.

Really neat showing how your get your morning started 🏆

Hey Capt very nice video once again. Can't wait till the summer to cross. I have a question within about 1 to no more than 2 foot seas how much time does it take you to cross to Bimini at your cruising speed?

Cuba those are black fin snapper not yellow eye.

Hey, you learned how to use a bait casting reel. Well done.

What's the recipe for the breading you use on a frying the fish? I'm getting very hungry watching your videos which I originally started watching cuz I enjoyed the boating. Now I'm frying fish constantly lol

have you been approached by locals at night or has someone tried to steal anything on your deck like your gen? I'm located in southern Cal and would like to do as you to sleep overnight on some island close by like Catalina Island off the Los Angeles Ca coast. I have an Osprey 24-foot pilot house with I/O Volvo D4-260 Diesel 150 gal fuel tank bought new in 2007 with only 495 hours now on the boat and engine on a trailer in my property after years of owning. I am sure I will keep waking up every hour or so like I do when sleeping in a hotel during a business trip not like sleeping on your bed at home.

Let me suggest that you also remove the gills when you're cleaning your fish. Finally, I have a question for you, Skipper: Do you have a drone filming you on all your trips? Thanks and keep the great videos coming. You're living the life. Stay well.

That beer battered fish looks so good, but I can't go the tartar sauce like that.... Mix you some mayo or miracle whip , with sweet pickle relish, maybe teaspoon or so of mustard, chopped red/purple onions and just a tad of lemon juice,,,, stir it all up good and across the top sprinkle some paprika. Now you got something with really good taste to dip that good fish in. We made it like this at the fire station every time we had fish and it's so good. Great video Capt. and thanks for sharing! Oh by the way,,,, you will know just by looking about how much relish and onions to put in. Nothing has to be measured, you are a good enough cook to know!

Out of curiosity, do you use a body microphone of some sort? Your audio commentary is always so clear and makes your videos more interesting. Keep up the great work.

How do you like West End compared to other parts of the Bahamas? I've kind of heard for fishing and really for things to do ashore it's not as good as Bimini or Abacos. Also I think a couple of your first snappers where blackfin snapper.

Oh my that beer battered fish looks so good! How many hours do u have on the 200 now? Beautiful pics. Btw I changed my screen name bc I don't like my last name on here. But we used 2 have the 23 parker

Snapper for lunch nice that beer battered fish looks assume ! Look your own private island and you can’t get on it Dam ! Well maybe the next episode . Seems like a closer place to go but no drone footage, i know you want to but all the rules suck .

I would use three or four hooks on a deep drop rig you could probably get two or three on at one time instead of cranking all that distance for one fish also I would've tried on top of the ledge at 200 feet

Captain, what apps do you use to monitor weather and seas coming your way. I have a small CC that I pilot out of Ocean City MD, would live to know what you use.

Time for an electric reel capt! 🎣

Captain why does your graph blink like that is there a lose wire or bad concatenation? Or does the camera make it look like it's blinking ? Thanks for any info

Nice video man just wanted let you know those are ‘bottonwing snapper’ not yellow eyes but either way man I like the video.

@36:31. All Sharks in shallow waters under a small dingy knows a light-free meal is coming.

Cpt. Question how do you make sure that your anchor does not get lose when your sleeping in the middle of the night and you don't drift away?

That breakfast looked amazing. Pancakes for me plz. 😃

Captain u might want to get a push pole for when that happens alot of us bass fisherman use them u can get them telescopic so they fold down and u can store it out of the way but you will have if it if you need it good fishing to you captain love watching all your shows.

I think I watch these for your food😂. Safe travels

Great video and catches, what part of Florida do you reside? Would love to take a trip like that.

Man, I love you bud you got to stop with the clear prop situation you are alone in the middle of the ocean stop it

do you have the ability top recharge your trolling motor batteries with the generator?

Hi Captain!! Loved this episode. My wife and I just returned from two weeks bare boat sailing in a 36 foot catamaran around the Whitsunday Islands in Australia. What a magnificent experience. I am now on five glorious weeks of annual leave and tomorrow I am taking my boat into Bass Strait, setting off from Queenscliff, Victoria, for two days hard core fishing. Well, maybe not hard core, but I will be fishing. Your beer battered fish looked bloody fantastic and the waters around that little island were pure paradise. Like you, I travel a lot alone but only because my wife works in I.T. as a contractor and she doesn't have the same time off as I do. I get 9 weeks annual leave and have accrued over 6 months long service leave. So, right now I'm on holidays and she's working.....someone has to pay the bills. Don't tell her I said that. 🤣🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣

Why don't you use solar panel to charge the battery captain? Stay safe 👍

200hp 4-cylinder Yamaha The best👍

Captain, what a very nice video, I haven’t comment for a little but still following you, I do have a lot of respect for what you do, keep it like that and be safe out there, thanks

you need daiwa tanacom 750 electric reel to the job, nice video

Where did you get the Kalik shirt? I got's to know !

Hi Capt Nice fishing You convince me and half of subscribers to get one of the minn Kota motors They should give you a commission 😁

Hey Capt. I just noticed no more one dive knife that does everything!!😄 You hit the time to be there perfectly. I have spent a lot of time there at Sandy cay. A good place to overnight in calm weather.

Always a great video. After fishing with friends that have electric reels, I bought one, definitely the way to go... be well...

"Prop clear" is popular in general aviation, when starting a prop airplane. Do you have any experience with flying?

Need to get yourself a chest rig for better camera angles

Hey Cap, Nice video as always, Is safe to be along over night there?

Hey brother why don’t you show your face??

Cuba . Why do you hide your face from the camera?

Do you Uber some of those beer-battered fish? 🤤

Thanks Capt! Liven the dream

New to your program; enjoying it.

If you break the back of the fish after filleting it, the carcass will sink.

That fish looks awesome! And it doesn't get any fresher then that! 😎👍🌴⚓

You can tell the difference from the black around the front fin.

Another great video. Still cold up in here in the Chesapeake Bay. Doing a refit on my cabin. You are having more fun! Haha beautiful yellow eye! Fair winds Captain

Need that beer batter recipe! Lol

Great video. That snapper looked delicious!. Great work brother.

I challenge you to do the impossible…. Cook a full meal without tasting anything 🤣🦞 Love your videos capt

Thanks Captain for another great video! What a beautiful sunrise! Sweeet - thanks for sharing

Where do you take a dump?🤔

Amazing video. Love how you get to visit these remote cays. The cays are so beautiful. To have it all to yourself must be amazing. I always wonder how many pirates must have been around the cays you visit. Perhaps there may be treasure yet to be found. 🏴‍☠

Great Video from the Bahamas. Keep them coming!

Great video Captain. Nice catch of yellow eyes. I have been there😊 a few times. Didn’t know about deep dropping back then so caught many horse eye jacks and tasty red rock hinds (strawberry grouper). Your videos bring back many memories of fishing the Bahamas.

Complete silence I totally get it. occasionally hunting you experience it deep off the Main road and no planes flying over. This is actually incredibly you should have 10m viewers

I’ve been contemplating an electric reel myself. Maybe a shimano. Not sure. Another great time in Bahamas. The sky looks like a painting. Keep it up, Captain.

Saludos capitán e aprendido contigo mucho todos estos años pero hoy me toca enseñarte. Lo que pescaste no es yellow eye es blackfin snapper por que tiene una mancha negra es su costado en Puerto Rico se le llama Ali negra en otros países boqui sucia por tener la boca negra cuando lo vez por dentro de la boca.

Thanks for another great video. It's as if you are boating in a swimming pool. Stay safe. Stay happy. Peace.

I always wonder how big those islands were.. all that land teasing at 3-5 feet deep. Beautiful trip once again. I subscribed 3 years ago , time flies I guess. I like watching from my cold maine winter spot. ✌

Capp some people, like us enjoy 7 hour helm time's

But love your adventures

It's called self-preservation...and a smart thing. Smart move shifting to the stern to get the hull lighter to get off the bottom. Nice catches with the snapper. Great looking lunch.

Great day out 👍🏼👍🏼

Good Job . Like your Boad

SHOW THE FACE!!!

El colesterol se fue al 😂😂😂. Beautiful crystal waters!!! Tremenda pesca de palgo rojos. Can’t wait to see the rest of the trip.

That's the most fish I've seen you catch and the biggest besides your Tortugas trip. Nicely done.

What boat you have sir?

Black fin snapper

...lookin' good skipper, bon appetite, stay safe and happy sailing...

Your living my dread Capt. Love watching

Amazing sunrise cap! Love the videos! Thank you for sharing!

It's great to see there are still some beautiful secluded places around. How does it feel to be the king of the world !

You keep catching fish like that you’re gonna have to have all your subscribers over for a fish fry. Glad you’re safe. prop clear

Why do you cover your face?

You are so blessed to be able to experience the “pinkies”! Thank you!

Looks like a great place to wake up. What a fantastic breakfast!

You are livin' the dream!

Happy new year

So glad you are back at it…. The best show on you tube!!

You know you could get off the boat , and push it off, cmon man

Good Trip!

Wonderful fishing
