Game Warden Was Just Checking License! BUT THEN THIS HAPPENED! **EXPENSIVE FINE** 

Check out this next video on how we caught Red Snapper for the beach! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Jeob6--84tk.html

My literal favorite part about fishing... Everyone will help Everyone!! No matter race, creed, religion... fishermen help fishermen

Soooooo you didn't get a fine, the fine had nothing to do with the box you circled in the thumbnail, and instead of the $500 "expensive fine" you claimed in the thumbnail and title it was $50? WAYYYYY to much clickbait dude.

I don't usually like the firmer fish but this sounds amazing! Sounds like it has "Thai" spice palette, which we love. Thank you so much for the recipe

As a new fisherman to saltwater my worst fear is to catch something similar to a legal fish and get busted and get a fine.

Cool to see fellow fisherman helping each other out.

Nice video, my wife is Brazilian and from the most famous area for moqueca it's generally pronounced "Mo-keck-cah", (like Mo the bartender, followed by what the heck but keck and Ca) the coconut version is typically from the North, the Capixaba (Espirito Santo / Vitoria) style is just tomato sauce. I like some coconut milk in it myself. It's more of a stew, I make it with various fish but I like black seabass, tatoug or Striper. In Brazil it's usually Dorado. I typically use olive oil but Red Palm oil is the traditional style in Brazil. Here in New England Fish chowder is pretty popular, I love using tog for chowder great for a winter night. Just a light squeeze of lime is enough. Enjoy

Cool video. That dish looked really tasty. But when I marinate something, unless the recipe specifically says to add the marinade to the dish, I remove the fish or whatever from the marinade and add it. It'll absorb the flavor of the marinade without being overbearing.

What makes fishing much enjoyable is when you have friendly and helpful fishermen around you. It’s nice to return the favor by showing respect and gratitude back to others. Whether we catch fish or not, what truly counts are the thrill, experience, and the memories that we live by at the end of the day. Be kind to others, and happy fishing! 😎🎣 ✌️

You're gonna have a blast with those snook, they're definitely one of my favorite fish to catch! Maybe Brant will put you on some peacock bass too!

People used to fish the bridges near where I lived on Merritt Island, FL, but then the amount of trash left by fisherman got to be such a problem that fishing was banned from many bridges. Abuse a privilege and it will go away.

Brought back memories of fishing off the Berkeley Pier in the Bay Area. Never seen a "Cow Cop" all the years I fished there. I went crabbing off the pier in Oregon, they have a program where the Police Scouts go out and check the fisherman, thought that was pretty cool collage aged kids who were getting their feet wet before getting called up to work as a Highway Patrol and other LE agencies. Great program to see how they work with the public. The guys we met were funny and friendly. I also met a group of Doctors who had flew over from the east coast in a Pontoon airplane they all had purchased to Newport Oregon. When I explained them I was in Oregon helping out at the Chrysler Dealership. They asked if I had access to a van. When I told them I did, they asked if I wanted to go out with them on a boat they had charted on the next day. All I had to do was pick them up at their hotel in the morning and drive everyone to the dock. It worked out great. No one wanted the fish so the skipper and his first mate got to keep the catch.

really liked the way you helped out others , even if it was more than one time they needed it , that is what we need more of

That actually looked more like a curry and less like a soup :) Still delicious though! I never made this actual recipe, but I am an avid home cook that makes as much as possible from scratch: if you're not big on the flavour of lime, you might want to add less lime zest. The juice barely gives any lime flavour, just some acidity. If, however, you did not like the acidity, then you can add a spoonful of (palm) sugar, mix, taste, and add more if needed until the acidity has been cancelled out somewhat by the sweetness :) Cooking, if anything, is mostly a balancing act :) And the other guy had a good point as well: always taste as you're going. Throwing in a whole bunch of spices until your ancestors sing: "That's enough, my child!", is only for when you've gained some more experience with more complex cooking :)

That’s good to know about the reef endorsement. I never would have thought about it applying to the type of fish, just to fishing over actual reefs. Glad I saw this. I’ve lived in AL all my life but have basically only ever fished freshwater. But I’m about to move to the coast so I’ve gotta Lear these things! Saltwater seems so much trickier!!

A person can't even enjoy a good day of fishing anymore , that man probably didn't even know he was breaking a law. Dammed if you do dammed if you don't.

Just found your channel through this video and I'm already hooked!! That dish looked amazing and I lmao at Freddy while you were cooking 😂

You usually do not want to add the marinade. Just remove the fish, let any excess marinade drain off for a second, and then discard the rest of the liquid. That's going to be true for almost any recipe unless it specifically tells you to add the extra marinade. In general marinades are very intense. The idea is to infuse the flavor into the meat. A good example is soy sauce. It is very common as a base for marinating, but adding even a couple of teaspoons too much directly into the final dish will overpower nearly anything, leaving you with something far too salty to eat.

Friday’s through Monday’s? Dayum’, does it have to be a sunny day and light breeze? Crazy! $50 is one expensive fish!

Awesome video Brad. Love the catch n cook part. We did our sheepshead in a seafood boil seasoning to mimic some lobster. Then I put it on the blackstone grill and ended up making a lobster roll sandwich. Frigging awesome.

Take a thumbs up and comment with my thanks. Always good to see the RU-vidrs taking time to offer reminders of the rules and licensing requirements. Appreciate ya pointing out the little details like the additional reef permit for keeping those sheeps and snappers.

It’s nice to find fishing videos where you fish to keep and eat.

Bearded Brad first time watching your video very good. Love the cooking part and your friend, is hilarious he cracked me up when he said oh yeah we're following instructions are you putting a cabinet up or something it's going to make me want to watch more of the shenanigans, great RU-vid from Texas 🦆🍺

Really enjoyed this vid . Great catch/cook no frills stuff ! I marinated some king prawns in half a lime's juice couple weeks ago for a dish and spoilt it with overpowering lime ☹️. Must be strong stuff. Really surprised to see you have to have saltwater license over there ! Here in UK it's all free. Thanks for sharing 👍🍻

Growing up in California (80s and 90s), we had Game Warden ask for license only twice. I haven't seen a Game Warden out there in like 20 years. Last time I saw one he was planting some trout in a stream.

Great stuff Brad! Awesome content as always! I can’t wait for the South Florida trip and hope you slay the Snook down there! The Moqueca looked tasty man, I might have to make it myself with some UK fish like Cod. Anyways, keep up the great work and as I always say, peace and love from the UK

Used to buy something on the west coast(NorCal), called chioppino.. I'd buy it by the gallon and eat it up! Never made it my self but it was a fish/seafood chowder or stew, made with tomatoes based sauce. I believe they call it Italian style fish stew. It was to die for!

You NEED the lime!!! The acid in the lime is what cooks the fish. Just use a tad bit less or sometimes what I have done is to put a few shakes of chicken base in it. Tastes great and the lime isnt as strong. Good luck with it. Have loads of fun in Fla also !!

When I was in USAF in 70s in FL you didn't need a license for salt water and i don't remember fish limits but i fished fresh water.

Fishing regulations are constantly changing and when in doubt you can always check the state that applies to you. The printed regulation handbooks comes out yearly so spend some time to go over the information carefully. Specific locations, counties and even public piers do have rules that can be easily overlooked. Don't make your fun in the sun outing an unexpected expense. Tight Lines Everyone!

cooking tip: never try a dish for the first time after you've finished it. taste a few times along the way, to make sure progressing as you want. add spice, simmer, taste. initially, put less spice then you think you'll need, then simmer a bit and taste. then go back and add spice/seasoning you think it needs. if you are not sure whether to add or not, smell the spice and see if it smells like you need it or not. tight lines brad!!!

lol thought it was hilarious when you held the marinade up to the camera,as if to say "here,you all smell this,too!!!"...lmfao :P

Theere is more than one way to cook moqueca. each region here in Brazil slightly changes it I suggest you try moqueca baiana, they use shrimps and a secret ingredient called azeite de dendê, also if you wish to use coconut milk you should try to make it yourself, just take fresh coconut meet and mix with some hot witar on the mixer.

Hi Brad, normally you do not add the brine to the dish. That brine is to marinade the fish, meat only.

Always love watching you Brant and Beach bum!!!! Great content as always 🤘🤘

Enjoyed the video. You Clickbaterz show that a successful fishing trip doesn't require a boat that costs as much as a house. Really enjoyed the catch and cook aspect. You have a great camera presence. The best part of following a new recipe is the personal tweeks we will remember for next time. Bless you sir!

Sheepshead is one of my favorite fish to eat. My ex husband told me that they were trash fish not fit to eat. I should have taken that as a sign…😂😂 I will try this recipe, thanks.

I know I'm catching this late, but the reason it was so limey was you put the marinade in the soup. That is really just to season the fish. Typically, it is better to wash the marinade off, because the favors are very strong and concentrated so they will 'soak' into the meat. Typically, the marinade will overpower the dish if used in cooking. Anyway, cool vid.

I love how he catches and keeps a sheepshead but doesn't tell the feds shit

**pours slop into a bowl*" - presentation 10/10 🤣 Great job! I may try this recipe.

is there an app you use to have your fishing license on your phone and also for your state do you have an app that tells you for instance the red snapper on certain days and all that

When you marinade/brine something you are supposed to throw the used marinade/brine out. Raw pork, seafood, beef and poultry may contain harmful bacteria which may contaminate the marinade. Marinating should be done in the refrigerator to inhibit bacterial growth. Used marinade should not be made into a sauce unless rendered safe by boiling directly before use; otherwise, fresh or set-aside marinade that has not touched meat should be used. The container used for marinating should be glass or food safe plastic. Metal, including pottery glazes which can contain lead, reacts with the acid in the marinade and should be avoided.

I’d say that the overpowering taste of lime is because you tipped the marinade in with the fish instead of just adding the fish by itself.

First timer. Subscribed, bell rung and thumbs up. Enjoyed this very much. Also appreciate your explanations of the situation and laws. Very cool. Guess I'm gonna be living vicariously with the videos. I woke up to 20 cm of snow and 60kmh winds today in central Alberta Canada. I was ice fishing yesterday. Take good care.

Last time I was in Pensacola I chartered a boat and took my daughter and her boyfriend out fishing for a day. It was an awesome day but we caught a bunch of red snappers out of season. Almost every time we threw them back, dolphins would zip in and eat them before they could get back down deep. The irony of not keeping them, but feeding the dolphins was frustrating. Want to get down there again, soon.

When I put fish in a soup like that, I don't marinate it. I like to absorb the flavors of the ingredients of the soup. I do like the recipe you tried and will try it myself. Thank you

I think what made the dish a little over powering was you should have drained the Marinade before adding the fish to the dish.

Absolutely loved the video, your buddy is upset your leaving him behind, One idea, don't marinate the fish in lime juice, just add it to the Moqueca when your almost done, fish only takes a few minutes to cook. over cooked fish is horrible. I would do the onions and peppers on Med heat till just translucent , and sure seemed to me like they had a ton of lime in it also, Do a bunch more, great video. I and wife are still laughing and smiling and were going to make this tomorrow. 😁😁👍👍👍👍

We have freshwater sheepshead here in w.n.y. they are drum like coi & carp,just more silvergrey colored,mouth like a sucker,2foot long is not uncommon nor is 10+lbs. ? Basically a common mudcarp build,but silver/grey color in stead with more of a suckers mouth than a carp has. They come up stream from lake Ontario tributaries (run) in the spring as do & about the same time as bull head,suckers & lake trout. Hit mostly on blood suckers,worms,corn,bread & dough balls. Like crayfish too. Mouth has big teeth too & located more on the bottom of the head as is a carp or sucker. Some call them silver bass,"they are not bass!" They are fresh water drum.

My first and last fish as an 8 year old was sheepshead. 34 years later, I still remember it.

It's awesome when fishermen compliment and help each other out. So, the other guy got cited for keeping a fish on the wrong day, that was 50$ from his cooler. What was the charge for 500$ from the black cooler? I'm just curious. Try coconut milk with Thai curry and patatoes, no lemons required.

We have size limits for sea fish over here in the UK, but sea fishing is free with no licences or permits needed. Fishing from piers is paid for though. Can't believe the guys checking your permits carry sidearms ... what you gonna do ... get whacked for taking an undersized fish !! I hope you thanked him for his service ... lol

I'd of used lemon instead of lime with fish and just waved the cilantro over it as I checked it out. Lol A lot of people like cilantro but add a bit of jalapeno or ceyenne to to mine. The coconut milk will calm that down and it would be like curry to me. Great job on it though! Everyone has their own favorite flavours.

Another cooking tip that you can follow is to use the 5 basic tastes to help balance the dish (sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami). If it feels like too much lime (sour) try balancing with a little sugar.

I'd dose back the lime juice and maybe nix the zest altogether. Fish will absorb a lot more of those flavors than shrimp will. I'd also recommend browning the fish in the pan, remove it from the pan, and then continue with the onions, garlic, tomatoes, etc. You'll get a lot of good flavor from browning. Also top with some fresh cilantro to help lighten up the flavors. Me personally, I'll also cook the rice with some chicken or vegetable stock and coconut milk with some ground coriander.

Didn’t realize fishing was this good on that side of the bridge, I’m gonna have to try that next time I’m out that way.

Barely go t into the video and had to stop to leave a comment. Super nice of you to help that guy land those fish, big thumbs up and a sub!

Just found you, just subscribed. You got some great content here, really cool.

I’m always glad to see the game wardens out, slot limits on trout and reds are huge and really help our fishery.

As a fellow man named Brad who is most definitely bearded... I must subscribe and like! Can't wait to watch the rest of the video! lol

That's utterly ridiculous to have a fish only available part of the week. I totally understand seasons

Game Wardens are usually good hard working folks. They typically shoot the shit for a little while and check your license like the interaction in the video. The fishing community tends to be very helpful to those that are respectful.

How stupid is that to have a fish were you can only keep it on certain days of the week? And don’t these rent a cops have anything better to do?

I cooked a gator and shrimp stew (which really is a green gumbo- no flour and oil roux. )It said to soak the gator only in lime juice. Make sure you rinse off the lime juice before you sauté it. I impressed myself with that internet recipe!

How you doing Bearded Brad? I was you tube surfing for fishing channels and came across you and I like your channel because of not only if the fishing but your cooking and showing how. Right on brother I'll spread your channel around to my family and friends. Good Video

It's always nice to see FWC out there watching for those keeping illegal, oversize and undersize fish.

Great content! I’m glad to see people who respect Game Warden’s.

NM is an extra $10 for Trout stamp. If trout in lake waters best to get it. Onions > Saute until translucent. 😁 Asian recipes call for coconut milk. Usually leftover marinade isn't added.

I know that this is an old video, but I’ve got a story to share. I live in Harford County, Maryland and before 9/11 my favorite place to fish was on the catwalks of the Conowingo Dam, which I miss terribly. Their new “fisherman’s wharf” sucks IMHO. Anyway, Rockfish/Striped Bass are a heavily-regulated fish in the Chesapeake Bay, and I mean HEAVILY. The Department of Natural Resources *does not play* around. Many years ago now, when rockfish were at their most regulated you could not keep a rockfish of any size; it was strictly catch and release only. A guy up at the Dam didn’t give a crap about the regulations and he caught like ten or eleven rockfish and threw them into his ice-filled cooler. Well, because the fish were biting so well he kept casting instead of hopping in his vehicle and heading home, and he stayed long enough for the DNR to show up and check people’s licenses and to make sure that people were not illegally keeping rockfish. Once they opened his cooler he was quickly slapped into handcuffs and taken out. My buddy Joe asked one of the DNR police what was going to happen to the guy and he told him that, in addition to being arrested, he was having all of his fishing equipment confiscated, would lose his license and possibly lose it forever, and would be assessed a fine of like either $10k or $50k (I don’t remember which now) PER FISH. They also towed and impounded his expensive Cadillac Escalade. Don’t mess around and find out, or don’t Eff Around and Find Out as the kids say. It’s not worth it at all! If you’re fishing for food, and why wouldn’t you want to eat some tasty fish that are as fresh as fresh can be, do not take fish that are under size or protected, and don’t go over the limit. Brothers and Sisters of the Fishing Community don’t be like that guy!

50 bucks is a cheap fine. An illegal fish in FL can be 500.

Game wardens should be challenged in court. Constitutionally people shouldn't be subject to search of documents or belongings if no crime is suspected, just like on the road.

Man catching Sheepshead brings me back to my childhood days living in Florida on Siesta Key in Sarasota. ( south of Tampa about 45 mi) We use to catch lots of Sheepshead, good eating too.

what app where you using to check the legal fish size? thanks

The moment you’re looking for is 4:36 Thank me later

Looks great to me. We have a lime tree so I know what that's about. Great looking recipe. I'm gonna try that this weekend. Great video. Thx for sharing

Here is what I found.. “A simple Brazilian Fish Stew called Moqueca made with your choice of fish and simmered in coconut milk with onion, tomatoes, chilies and lime. Easy, fast and full of flavor! Serve this with rice! “ looks good

This bearded guy interrupted his friend so many damn times. He just gives off the worst vibe.

That's B.S. man caught one snapper a day early & gives him tickets! The amount of the ticket is irrelevant, it's the principle. HELL shoulda left him alone just on the meer fact he caught a red snapper from the bridge LOL 😆🤣 commercial boats kill tons of red snapper while throwing them back when out of season but let's hit the working class guy who buys licenses and fishes 5 times a year SMH 🤷🤦 #LetsGoBrandon

I caught some sheepshead in Islamorada FL and did a hook and cook at a local restaurant… excellent eating fish/highly recommended. Great video by the way!

Try using only half of one of those lime containers in that recipe. I got one for you to try out from online it's called sizzling tropical fruit marinade with trout.& brim.& croopie & or blue gills.& bass.& channel catfish to. Then try out passion tropical blast marinades with orange juice.& other types of oranges like tangaloes mandarins.& tangerines.key limes.& lemons to. With zets in the mixes.& black pepper.& ghost peppers.& etc.

Please don’t forget to leave the “instructions” to the dish in the bio 😂

I'd recommend taking the fish out of the marinade and maybe searing or grilling it before putting into the soup and discarding the marinade. Just a thought

That was funny as hell minced garlic👍 lol😂

Some of these regs are really draconian... oh, I can keep this fish. but only if it's a cloudy Tuesday and I am facing south on an outgoing tide...got it!

Like using Italian dressing mixed into the marinades to. Their good let those fish sit in aluminum foil in the fridge for About A hour.,or more prior to before cooking to. Cook them in fillets silces for 30 to 45 minutes in sweet creame butter sticks. Then let me know how that turns out for ya okay.

I would have left out the lime zest as zest of anything is rly potent. Either leave out the zest or do less of it (I've never made this but off the top of my head I'd add like a teaspoon at most) A teaspoon if you really like lime

good video. Just FYI: Recipe - What you're cooking; Ingredients - what you need to put in the recipe; Method - how to put the recipe together, aka "directions" 🙂 It looks great! Thanks for bringing us along. (shrimp would be a little sweeter than sheepshead...cut the lime in half for fish. might need all of it for shrimp - or use lemon in place of lime. The citrus 'brightens' the recipe)

I saw it coming when you added the fish AND marinade! You said you don't cook alot. We had to toss my first Stir Fry for same reason! That marinade is powerfully STRONG! Next time just fish the fish out of the marinade nd drop in! TOSS that marinade! Great video thank you!

Awesome and fun video to watch, especially when you had the comic factor next to you. And the fish really made me hungry.

The game wardens name on his shirt looked like Puckett 😂😂 Yes officer phucket

your at perdido pass on the orange beach side to the right before the bridge, used to fish it ALL the time caught ALOT of big bull sharks and big bull reds, caught some BIG golloith grouper on the jetties to, its a hell of a walk👍👍

First time here and it's been fun to watch! Never had fish soup but that does look good. I always liked my fish fried. Thanks

Facts, and honesty goes along way with the man!! Never lie, they do great things for us. Good vid!! I just subscribed

Fishing regulations across the country have gone completely INSANE. As a lifetime fisherman who obeys the rules it just pisses me off 😡 Its so bad you can't leave the house to fish without a damn regulations handbook.

More fish would have cut down on the lime. But I totally agree on your usual fish dishes. Fry baby fry!!!❤

This guy just said I noticed you have a webcam I’m dead 😵 love it

Try caramelizing the onions and peppers first then set aside. Lightly saute the fish then add the onions and peppers. Mix and cook for a minute then add your coconut milk.

Man I get so jealous of those southern trucks with no rust

Can't keep a fish on Thursday, but can on the weekend. Super stoopid.

I just found this channel and glad I did! I’m from mobile and grew up fishing the causeway this video brings back good memories thanks
