Mayan Cichlid {Catch Clean Cook} Sautéed in White Wine Lemon Butter Sauce 

I live in Palm Beach Gardens and have a canal literally in my back yard. Whenever the wife and I are looking for a good fish fry I go hook up my ultralight gear with some crawlers and a bobber and in 15 minutes the Lord blesses us with these delicious fish. Thanks for the video.

Who watches this chanel no matter what sad happy relaxing free time it makes you feel always great with the good job awsome videos

Throws drooly dog ball bare handed, goes right back to cooking. Love it, lol.

Who else is binge watching dmfd during quarantine?

Yes Rob when I first started catching them in my back yard (Rim canal) a few years ago, I also thought they were an Oscar fish (they look VERY similar until you get used to noticing their slight differences) but yes these are Mayan Cichlid's and I was amazed how extremely WHITE the meat is when I started filleting them. When I started catching them, i was telling and showing photos on my phone to Lief and Festus (at Gerrards Bait&Tackle shop) they were the 1st to correct me and teach what a Cichlid was. My technique in the canal is to chum them up and get them frenzied by tearing a slice of bread into 4or5 long strips floating and watch for the MORE aggressive hits, after just 1min or so I start putting a tiny doughball on the tip of my hook and/or beetle spin like you. Once they are in a frenzy - I am able to catch more in less time.

I've never fished a day in my life due to living in the middle of the desert, these videos make me wanna go find somewhere to fish

Iguana catch, clean, and cook next big broski.

Best bait and tackle store EVER!

excellent video the Mayan looks super light and healthy

Hey there Robert! I just received the news about your 2 yr old daughter, hoping and praying that she will be okay. You made the right decision about letting go of your 2 dogs because its the best for your family. God bless and thank you for your amazing and wonderful videos!

"Are you kidding me"😂😂😂Gets me everytime you should make some Are you kidding me t-shirts

This is my favorite youtube channel. I have lived in Florida for about 20 years but im moving to North Carolina in about 3 weeks, im going to miss the fishing here but im glad i have this channel to remind me ofall the good time i had here in the outdoors. Thank you.

I love your channel. I’m a South Pacific Islander from the republic of Palau. My small country started the first shark sanctuary in the world. Florida was the the 2nd. I haven’t been home in more than 8 years and your channel really hits home. Look it up. PALAU

I love Florida... Jupiter.... Port Salerno... some many places to fish and go out on the boat like Rob... So peaceful and you rite it's about the wild life... Inspiration Rob..... 👈🖒

we are going suppppper light olive oil.... then half a bar of butter lol nice

Your videos are way better than these other guys

You might not ever see this comment. I liked the video but the cherry on the cake was to see and hear your prayer, we all need to be more thankful. God bless you and your family.

Robert, I am a 19 year old kid here in Nepal who'll be attending a US university this fall. One of things that I really really want to do after going to the US is to meet you and your lovely family. I've been watching your videos for about a year now. Your videos help me detach from the problems in my daily life and serve as stress relief medicine. I really hope that I get to see you in person in the near future. Keep it up! Much love from a devout fan

I’ve been watching you since 10k and every video I’m blessed with your experiences thank you

I'm subscribed to dozens of fishing channels and I have to say your channel is my favorite. Content, info, how to and cooking but what did it for me is giving thanks to Almighty before your meals. God Bless you and yours!

Rob sporting the original DM/FD hat... looking good, one of my favorite hats, mines all faded had it for many years now.

At the end of the day I just got kind of knows what he's talking about. That's why I returned to his channel again and again to find out how to fillet certain fish in Fish for certain fish this guy covers it all completely and that's why he's basically the best

Hello, Robert. I've seen you for a long time, even though I've never fished in my life. I am from Honduras in Central America. There is a place called Francisco Morazan hydroelectric dam. It is located in a mountainous area and when they built it they flooded several places. In that place there is a company that grows tilapia. These tilapia sometimes escape and grow wildly. people pay annual permits to fish and are only allowed to do it on weekends. Because tilapia grow wild, it is normal to find tilapia more than 12 pounds. It would be amazing to have you in Honduras catching those tilapia.

you are such a good man. I envy your honesty, integrity, and faith.

I get these all the time in the canal behind my house. In fact, I caught one earlier today! I don’t really eat fish I kinda just like fishing and let my dad eat these but he loves them so I love catching them for him 😁

That so true!! Expressly with your love ones

Hi Robert, & John enjoyed the video Great seeing you fishing, filming black otter, and alligator in the water! Joey has a beautiful garden, with lots of vegetables. Good seeing you out to the ranch doing cleaning, cooking hope you made a plate for John! I wish you had time to private message me ,it is all good and you would like it! Love you guy's, hope Aria is doing good. She is a very beautiful little girl. Glad your new land for a home is coming a long very nice!

wow I wish I could do these things, I love nature, fishing all that stuff, but when I was a kid I did it allot, I had friends to take me with them, but now everyone moved away, so I don't do that stuff any more, being blind is not the worst thing, I still have youtube to listen to these cool sounds. thanks rob and sara, I hope I spelt her name right.

Yeesss Rob! I suggested last week in a comment that you do a Mayan Cichlid catch and Cook..and wouldn't you know you finally brought us one..I've been eating Cichlid for years, their delicious all white meat with a mild flavor, you can't go wrong plus it's an invasive species so it's a win win situation..God bless you and your family

Finally a sub from Tampa. You changed my way of life. Leave it at that. Thanks. God Bless

He covers it all he knows what fish is going on this guy is never wrong he's a killer

My grandpa had a silver stag knife he bought around 17 years ago and he lived by that knife till the day he passed. That is one thing that he was buried with and I would love to have another. And one day I will.

Rob, I love that you guys pray in your videos, praise the Lord! Also, I'm saving for a thermal scope too!

Beautiful fish and meal! Awesome vid!!

Dude, I love watching you catch, clean and cook, I learn a lot!!

Nice, relaxing vid to round up a nice, relaxing morning. And it's extra long weekend in Poland! Life is good :)

Loved the goofy nature of the fishing..tripped, fish drop and glasses askew. You could have not posted it but you did. Love your videos!

Congratulations arrington family for almost hitting 1 million subscribers

Don't know how I missed this video. We journey from Georgia to the glades and load up on these guys and Oscars the first week of April each year. Last yeah we came home with 800 plus fillets. These fish are awesome table fare.

Been watching your videos the last few days and I have really been enjoying them. Very entertaining and educational. Wish we had alot of the suff you catch and eat here in Nova Scotia.

I'm soooo jealous of this lifestyle and I don't even eat fish or seafood... You're the man!

Rob, I just started watching your channel and subcribed tonight. I am glad to see you aren't afraid to show your faith. Awesome man.

I have been watching for a little while and recently got my wife hooked to. I love your enthusiasm to the outdoors and your love for God. Keep putting these great videos out for all of us. God bless from Topeka, KS

Not only a great tasting fish. But is also being used by Brazilian doctors in extreme burn cases ...so kudos.. Plus in mexican cuisine is also very reasonable treat for large families on budget.. Love the channel..

Lovely prayer, great video.

Hay rob my son and I are Dmfd fans, would love to see use come to Australia some time , keep doing what use are doing we love it and it's our father and son time when we sitting down all your episodes 3 or 4 times over lol. If you could give a shout out to my son Kai cornford from Albion park Australia.

Do a squid catch clean and cook please thanks

I caught a few of these guys last month and realized I need about 10 to 12 to make it a real meal. Definitely I am going to follow your recipe this time around. When I cooked them last time, I mainly used just salt and pepper with olive oil. Just watching you cook with other ingredients is starting to make my mouth water, lol.

Great video brother 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️!!!

Man this guy would eat anything, I’ve been catching those for years now and I’ve never once thought of eating them

awesome video sir!

The color on those fish 😍
