Epic nighttime Flounder GIGGING! Commercial Trip! (Catch, Clean, Cook) 

I have been cleaning fish since I was 5 I’m 45 now. I watch lots of fish cleaning videos because it’s content I enjoy.

1 more thing Tug, always God speed to you and your family !

I love all the videos you make I like how you explain how to do all the cleaning I never had flounder keep making these content

Man,I'm so jealous, you did awesome out there,one of my favorite fish to catch or gig,love to be you right now with the flounder even if it was a commercial trip. Great vid IAN, ALWAYS WORTHWHILE TO WATCH A TUG TRASH VIDEO, ALWAYS!!!!!

Keep up the great content Tug, do not mind others negative comments. No matter how many times I see everyone clean fish, it is still great to refresh the mind. Catching, cleaning and cooking is how everything started.

I love your videos! Glad your taking a stand and keeping it your channel and not to the whims of the commentators. Keeping it yours will make it grow. IMHO.👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼

I have never been flounder gigging. That looks like a blast not to mention very productive 👍. The modification you made to your cooler to pull the flounder off the gig is very cool. I always look forward to your videos. Tight lines 🤙 🎣

Beautiful flounder. Prudomme makes the best blackening seasoning. Flounder is alsoa great fish to scale and cook whole so none is wasted.

I love it brother. If you don't like what I do don't watch it. Keep up the great work.

Hey brother, I can’t believe that you get complaints about your content. I enjoy watching all of your videos. Keep up the good fight.

Aloha. I personally don’t understand why people are negative in general in the comments section. Unless it’s something egregious, there’s no need. It’s your channel, you do you, they can change the channel.

Water looking pretty clear in San Sebastian :)

Good times 🌞

Love your channel and if you can make a few bucks doing some commercial fishing go for it. Oregon coast boy here that grew up with commercial fishing and did some myself when younger

Here ya go

No we don’t all know how to clean fish. From the outset, you have had the right formula. I’ve said before, I am a fan. You seem to put out natural content from activities you enjoy. I think that’s the reason why you are a draw. Keep doing what you enjoy.

Hey there that was a great video thanks ! What is the limit on flounder ? I know you were commercial fishing thanks

Nice flounder 🐟

Look at them fatty two eyed flip flops! Nice work Tug! Wire duder in there too! Also, clean the fish and show it all! f'em.

Glad you cleaned the fish, whats the seasoning?

I love the content I love the cleaning. I love the catch and I love the trolls and the comments. Tell them to kiss your a** we love the content. Keep doing what you're doing, tub boat trash for life.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Snook best onshore Lol , great 2nds tho

Don’t worry about the ones that say anything about commercial fishing a few flounder bro. If they want to bitch let them bitch about the miles and miles of baited hooks that find there way to the bottom of the ocean along with the miles of fiberglass lines or whatever they use now days. A few flounder a few times a year?!! The bell with them. And you hit the nail in theheqd when you said what you did about paul Perdones blacking redfish majic. We can hardly find it anymore man here in Weeki Wachie or HOMOSASSA anymore man. I guess everyone knows about it now days. Back when redfish were considered trash fish man you could catch and eat all you wanted to. Even gig them back in the day. Hell now you can’t hardly gig anything anymore. Love the show love you guys and can’t wait to watch your next video with my bro. I’ve told you about Henry before he’s lived with me for 25 years. Has the mentality of about a 9 year old. He loves watching the shows with me.

Keep cleaning

Love the content 👌

I love your videos, I heard about you through, Bluegabe... She should start me own channel

Don’t worry about the haters lol. I just want to know we are we going to go gigging? I’m ready when you are.

Atta boy tug

How come no blood lines

And you got a job that takes you out for a month at a time so it ain't like you can fish all the time.

Clean in lighting or nobody learned.

Well little brother, I’m 53 , been cleaning fish for at least 45 years and I still love watching your videos just the the way they are!!! Forget the haters and knuckleheads. Love y’all’s content GOD BLESS

I love having a Tug Trash video to watch with my Sunday morning coffee.

I know how to clean fish, but I also like seeing how someone else does because you can learn other, sometimes better, techniques. The cleaning part of the video is one of my favorite parts.👍🏻

I also LOVE watching the kitchen part of your videos, I cook most of the time, but always learn something new from you guys,thanks to you both!!!

I learned something from watching you clean that flounder. Keep doing it your way, my house hold loves your videos!

Isn't that Big Shrimp 🦐 jumping out of the water as the lights hitting them ? 😅 You Need A Cast Net Too 😞

Tug, do what you need to do for your channel, for many people like myself, us old timers understand that this is the way of life. We got 3 flounder over 25 to 32 in and many more that are league in the bay. We rolled 2 large fillets with crab meat and spice's in the oven at 350 for 50 min's and it was the best thing since slice bread. So Tug keep on doing of what you feel is best .

Love all your videos thanks for sharing 😊😊😊😊😊

I LOVE your videos, your family is a hoot!!! Great night of fishing. I lost it on your reference to the man on the grassy knoll, you are hilarious my friend!!

You seriously gotta level the feet on that stove so everything don't run to one side. Great video

Love your content. Don’t change a thing! I’m always looking to learn new techniques for fishing, hunting and cleaning the harvest.

You do what you want to show. You and your family are awesome.

I knew you guys were exactly my kinda people! Crystal should start her own channel. Jump on that harley & take us out for bike night for your 1st video!

Brother your not weird at all I've got 3 dogs and yours are very well behaved. I really enjoy your channel please keep up the great teaching and enjoyment that you so willingly show. And thanks for being real.

More fish taste better if you scale him dip them in flour and freedom my father loves them that way as far as cleaning the fish all you have to do is make the cut that you made instead of going on the end go to the center of the fish and come out to the end you’ll take to fly off of one piece very simple I am a professional

Hi brother, i like as a viewer to see all the processes in the video, like catch clean and cook is part of the entertainment. Thanks for the great job 👍

I'm from Lauren Louisiana I grew up hunting and fishing and cleaning fish I just like your videos has real good content in it with people I don't know people that don't get out I used to knock off work on Friday and go fishing all weekend and I'm no rich person a commercial fisherman just because that's something I like to do now I'm stuck up here in Northwest Arkansas and I'm landlocked they have a man-made lake that's not real good fishing don't change nothing I enjoy it

Drives my Husband Nuts!!! 😅😅😊

I want to go with you this year on a trip. My favorite line from Crystal is.......follow that crab.. I fish over that way. Love Blue gabe. YALL are so great. Really love everything yall do. You are all MR,MEDIUM APPROVED....

Nobody beats Chef Paul’s Blackened Seasoning!

Outstanding ,now need a pound of jumbo lump.crabmeat for the family feast

Not everyone knows how to clean fish. I’ve been cleaning fish my whole adult life & learned a new technique on cleaning big fish from Blue Gabe. So yeah you do you!

I’m not gonna fast forward I might miss a pro tip. Besides you and chrystal n Bianchi ,s commentary is funny. I love you guys.

Great video Tug! Love the gigging videos. Nice haul. Keep doing the videos the way you them. Everything is definitely better with butter and even more so, bacon. Great fillet on the flounder. Be careful Crystal. Nice cook on the flounder. Burned & crispy, otherwise known as caramelized. Hope Bianca is better soon Thanks for sharing!!!

You just do it your way the fishing , cleaning, cooking=and eating was well filmed and presented . =

Yah Ian is back with another tug trash video. Boi that big flounder left a rooster tail when he took off . That's ok Harold we all let a bad word slip ! 🤣

Hey man, where are you out of? St Augustine?

Don't let any negative comments affect you and your family. You will never satisfy everyone, and some are never happy no matter what.

Better with butter best with bacon. Lol. I just saw Aldi bought out Winn dixie

Just keep doing wat your doing lol that’s why I watch. I learn something all the time

Love the catch and cook.Enjoy watching you filet.Keep up the good work

Tug keep it up. I do a little commercial fishing here in SC Love your videos

Hey distant friend, Dont mind the haters. Utah is digging the gigging. 😊

Those were some nice size flounder. They looked great in the frying pan too.

Got to love your videos. And love to watch you guy’s in the kitchen. It is like when my family get together. Thanks for sharing. Stay real. 😂 when you said everyone would just eat the blackened seasoning lol

Totally agree with you on the sweet potato fries, only mean to serve mashed with a lot of marshmallows on top. Great content… keep doing what you’re doing!

Nice one as always and first time i saw your chopper ❤🤘🤘🤘

Very Nice! Those flounder are huge. I am sure the way you cook they tasted great. I enjoy watching you clean fish as well as you catching them. I learn something every time from you videos. I am waiting on your next video. 😊

If you clean a flounder any other way that you and I do you will lose meat,like always another great video

I very much enjoy your channel,it's awesome. Although I've never had Flounder before what you and your wife made looked scrumptious. I live in the heart of Texas,no flounder here lol😂. God bless you brother and family...

I enjoy the cleaning process, don't change anything...Keep on keeping on. Cooking with cast iron is the best,gr8 vid man!

Another great video, food looks great as always

You should do the catch n clean n have her doing the cooking have 2 channels

I think this video has the most subliminal F U’s so far lol

My mother used burnt as a spice. Maybe thats why we prayed after we ate.

I love your videos. I also like watching you clean your catch and cook. Please keep sharing all of that!

I wish this was legal in New Jersey. It looks so fun.

I appreciate the cleaning lesson. I’ve never cleaned a flounder, love eating them though

I enjoy all your videos don't change anything if other people want to watch you clean fish tell him to change the station I enjoy just watching the videos watching what you do with your family where you work at and how you go fishing😊

I stopped to check the Florida regulations for flounder. I learned that you can age them by there size. Also that 14” is the minimum. I recently brought three 17 1/2 plus fish in, and had to throw them back as shorts ! Legal here is 20 1/2” as the minimum !

Sweet potato anything sucks!

They are some beautiful flounder

Not sure what brought all that on, must be some haters out there. Me for on love your channel and I think you have a wonderful family. Keep it up..

Lol I love the shoot it Elizabeth reference.

Yes her own!😁

If Crystal loves that corn with the bacon, she should try pan fried milk corn. Cast iron pan preferred, but not necessary, frozen corn (bicolored if you can find it), sugar, salt, and milk or half and half. This cooks over a low-medium heat so you don’t scorch the milk. The longer it cooks that softer the corn and the sugar helps sweeten it while a pinch of salt balances everything out. It’s one of my hubby’s favorite sides! And I have subbed in rendered bacon grease for the butter. Even better! Thanks for the video and recipe!❤

Awesome video! I love your little boat. What size skiff is that?

Ian, that was a reel good one. I have never flounder gigged. I keep saying I am going to, but just haven't done it. You have the best videos on family time together. Keep up the good work. I hope y'all have a great week this week. God Bless, Pop Pop

I love watching you clean fish. Yea Ive seen it done many times, but its so satisfying to watch. Keep doing you!

I totally enjoy watching you and your family but when you cook I have a hard time watching because it makes me hungry lol ❤

Crystal, I Totally Agree with you!! In my house, it makes no sense to dirty another dish/utensil!!!❤❤

Saw this video and asked myself what kind of fish are these ? We don’t have these type of fish in NC ! Something about the Virginia border and the South Carolina border! Flounder don’t come into these waters ! I NC post no pictures !

Tug, keep the vids coming just like you are doing. For those who are learning to gig at night (me included) doing it from a 25 foot center console powered by a trolling motor, is a challenge. Tug (i think) uses a 10-14 foot with shallow draft and uses the gig to pole across 1-2 foot of water. Also, I'm on the Gulf Coast fishing the estuaries...flounder are small inside but hopefully I'll find keepers eventually. Anyone one have experience gigging in Tampa area?

Crystal is a star!!

Back in the day. I would gig 50 to 60 on a cold night between St. Augustine and Palm Valley. Back then, you could sink the boat with reds. Now, you have to move them to gig a flounder because there so many in the ICW

I love the catch CLEAN cook vids.. for those who don't , you are missing out.. tug makes it easier for all of us.. great vid man!

Hahaha, going to skillet it...

I'm me again OG DA BOSS, OSCAR SPEEDYGSTER, Tug WOULD U DO A FLOUDER CHARTER WITH US? IM ALSO A GREAT CHEF, WORKED IN 4 & 5 STAR RESTAURANTS, I WOULD LOV TO SHARE SOME AWESOME FOOD RESIPES...LETS HOOK UP!

It’s all good, keep it up.
