FISH RECIPE:
This weeks video we travel offshore to do some deep seasalt water fishing down in the Florida Keys. Throughout the video we catch mutton snapper, dolphin/mahi-mahi, tuna and we fill you in on tips, techniques, lures, bait and much more. Follow along in this epic outdoors adventure to see some of the most amazing unbelievable fishing you’ve seen on a bay boat. This was easily a trip of a lifetime as we catch multi species of fish out in rough seas completely remote 30 miles offshore. At a point in time it was a matter of survival as we continue to run from storms but the stars aligned as we cross paths with a lot of hungry fish. We eventually end the day off with a catch clean and cook back at the house as we reminisce on such an amazing day.

Hey guys. I’ve been watching fishing videos for a while now, I accidentally came across yours and I am so glad I did. You put so much education into your content,and for a guy like me, who doesn’t get the opportunity to go fishing very much, it’s great to see and learn. Thank you so much, and God bless you two and your crew.

@alexsmith9922 3 года назад

Nice vid, awesome mahi action!! just a tip, when you clean your fish at the dock, stick your knife through the eyes before you discard the carcass, then they won`t float and wash up the beach.

@LifeByTheBow 4 года назад

Thanks for watching my friend unfortunately no. RU-vid places them there without my approval.

@christopherpeterraby 4 года назад

dude I dropped a fatty 23" flounder off my dock after i came in on my canoe yesterday....when you dropped the Tuna it made me feel better lol, I got redemption today though slayed a couple flounder and kept a 22"

@nikmar1338 4 года назад

Dude the same thing happened to me last week. I caught an 18 inch fluke on from the shore on the sandbar. I was walking back to the boat to put it in the live well, but everyone told me it had to be rinsed off because it had too much sand on it. I knew this wasn’t a good idea and as soon as that fish touched the water he was gone. I was pissed lol.

@TimNye850 4 года назад

I watched a dude drop what would have been a guaranteed 1st place in a Kingfish tourney while transfering from boat to dock. They sdove the dock for hours to no avail... Costly mistake. Another one- I didn't enter a tournament and caught a 312# blue marlin, largest blue weighed- was a $50k fish.

@LifeByTheBow 4 года назад

LOL it happens man thankfully we caught a lot more fish so I wasn’t to bummed!

@footballcoach1495 3 года назад

If you ever want to take an old high school football coach and his wife out fishing (We own a 25 World Cat) here in St. Petersburg but do not see the fish you are catching so if you ever want to help out an old ball coach let me know and we would love to learn from you. LOL. Great Videos. Enjoy your Christmas and New Year and keep them coming. We love them. Bless and Be Safe. Coach Cap

@michaels8392 2 года назад

Where's the corn avocado salsa recipe? My wife makes a mean Texas caviar (corn/bean salsa) she would really love the avacado addition. Also I've been watching over a year or so, hitting some missed episodes now. Ever think of chartering and I noticed some twinkles in y'alls eyes, is there a twinkle on the way?!

@LifeByTheBow 2 года назад

Haha thanks for watching Michael! I love me some Texas Caviar! There’s definitely a lot of good ones that need some love so thanks for catching up!

@FishStalker777 7 месяцев назад

Nice vid! I’ve snorkel fished in Hawaii, but just with a line. The spool looks nice. Any tips for how to find good hogfish spots other than jumping in and looking? Have you had a shark mess with you or your fish when doing this?

@LifeByTheBow 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching! We look for patch reefs and grass flats. We have not but we also don't like to stick around if we see one in the water.

@michaellogsdon5880 2 года назад

I enjoy watching your videos and you are right about not enough positive in the world . I really want to move to Florida. I am really tired of living in Kansas because there is nothing to do and I love fishing in salt water. I was raised in Baltimore MD and my father had a 20 ft. boat that I used to fish on when I was a young teen. We used to vacation in Florida every Easter when I was young and once we went to Walt Disney World for 2 weeks. I have always loved Florida. Keep making the good videos and hopefully I will be able to move to Florida in about a year after I down size and get rid of of some stuff. Thanks again for great videos. Mike

@LifeByTheBow 2 года назад

Thanks so much Mike!

@zearosn 3 года назад

anyone else notice the fish in the water at 23:28 watching him cut the meat like a hungry dog?

@alanwaldman6892 4 года назад

Amazing videos, keep them coming. The fact you explain everything will you a ton of success man!! All the best

@LifeByTheBow 4 года назад

@marcsmith4496 6 месяцев назад

Play this better to move the skin and point your knife down do not move your knife and move the skin back-and-forth as you pull it through. It will be perfect every time.

@LifeByTheBow 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll give it a try. 😊

@davidosband862 4 года назад

Another big vote of thanks to you both! Miss Steph - how many lbs. have you dropped???

@catdogky 3 года назад

Dude, seriously? Asking a woman how many pounds she's lost? She'd slap you across each cheek with a black finned tuna if you weren't behind a computer monitor.

@ruthlong6876 4 года назад

@LifeByTheBow 4 года назад

@pitdudehey87 2 года назад

I have a question do you do fishing charters?

@justinnelson8554 2 года назад

Just stumbled across the channel and enjoying the content! Just a couple tips when cleaning a fish (which you may have learned already since I’m finding this a year late) Once you cut the fish by the head, when you go cut the skin down the backbone and belly turn the knife blade out and cut the skin from the inside out. It’ll keep the knife blade sharper, longer, by not having to cut into and through the scales. Next, to me, cutting the rib cage out is easier when skin is off and laying skin side up. You can essentially fillet the rib meat from the outside of the ribs. Cut above spine pin bones, cut below them back towards the head until you hit the ribs then turn the knife to the side and fillet the outside rib meat off. Keep up the great videos!

@troylawrence8563 2 года назад

Great videos! Love seeing not just you catching the fish but also the clean and cooking. My family and l are heading down to Conch fishing Lodge and marina in February. I hope to wet a line there or along the bridge. Do you have any tips for land fishing in February? Any good lures or should l stick to bait? Thank you

@dannyarceosantos6160 3 года назад

try ur experience here in the phillipines...specially in the west

@SouthernmostBrainard 3 года назад

Another great episode! I have a request- I’m amazed at how easily you pop that artery to bleed those tuna. I use kitchen shears to cut the gill arches and drop em head first into a 5gal bucket to bleed before pitching them into the ice slush. Can you do a slow closeup video of you popping that artery? And explain if you’re feeling towards the head or the tail. What’s it feel like when you find it? Thanks and keep up the great and entertaining work!

@KylandFreeman 2 года назад

@drewdoxzon676 3 года назад

What a day! I’ve had to outrun my fair share of storms in FL. What are the best wind directions/intervals etc down in the keys to run bay boat offshore? I have a 22ft coming down again in June

@scary_scat3924 3 года назад

First,in the afternoon when the sun is high,the tuna tend to hang back,away from the boat.So fishing a shotgun bait way back will usually draw a strike.Second ,black fin tuna this size are usually feeding on rain bait(or tiny little 1/2 to 1 inch baitfish).By using tiny little lures your basically matching the hatch.So that’s why far back small baits work,under the right conditions.I also do a lot of tuna fishing up north in Montauk and this same tactic works here.

@timhooper6055 2 года назад

I love your how calm and collected you are on this video showing how you fish thank you for all the tips they stay wit me as I am learning how to fish in the Florida waters so much different from the Chesapeake bay. You have great videos and how the catch and cooking you do is a spectacular section. thank you

@loisgood6345 3 года назад

What’s the second simrad head unit for?

@g8trbalz 4 года назад

I'm guessing he's running a CMOR map system on that. CMOR isn't compatible with Garmin.

@LifeByTheBow 4 года назад

The second unit is used to run charts so that way I can view my sonar on one screen and see where I’m drifting on the other.

@22cavjock 4 года назад

Life By the Bow That’s what I figured... Are you going to flush mount the other unit? I’d like to run two units soon...

@troywoolery3220 3 года назад

@whalerlife53 4 года назад

Y’all need to buy a ULU for your kitchen. It’s an native Alaskan knife. Get one with the chopping bowl. You can get them on amazon or from the ULU factory in Anchorage. It’s awesome for chopping. They make great gifts as well and are not very expensive.

@LifeByTheBow 4 года назад

Thanks for the advice will definitely check it out!

@MattBeagle123 3 года назад

Great video, wondering what size bucktail you prefer like this? Meaning, what ounce size works for trolling and jigging like that? Thanks! Love the channel!!

@LifeByTheBow 3 года назад

Thanks Matt! And I suggest a 3/4 ounce 👍🏼

@GroundedFlyboy737 4 года назад

The other day you demonstrated how to bleed a fish for better taste. But both you and some others I've watched don't always bleed them after catching. So when do you bleed, and when do you not? Thank you. Great channel, thank you for sharing your obvious experience.

@LifeByTheBow 4 года назад

It essence I guess you could really bleed any fish for better quality. I just know tuna specifically taste a lot better when bled out. Good question though!

@eightofnine9 3 года назад

When I saw one of your videos for the first time I wasn't sure that I wanted to keep watching your videos. At first I wasn't sure what your skill and knowledge level was. I'm not very good at catching mahi, wahoo, tuna and groupers. So, I watch videos on dealing with those fish. This video determined that I will be watching your videos on a consistent basis. Plus, I will be trying some of your fiance's recipes. I'm also, interested in those rods you use. I like the action they have. Keep up with these videos!

@LifeByTheBow 3 года назад

@wesleymitchell1541 4 года назад

Cool videos man. My best friend and I are coming down for a week the week before thanksgiving. We are pulling a boat down and hoping to find some reefs for yellowtails and mutton’s. Do you have any advice on what areas to go?

@LifeByTheBow 4 года назад

Hey Wesley I would suggest just fishing the edge where its drops off to 100 feet around key largo. Key Largo has the best bottom fishing.

@jacoblarsson8822 4 года назад

Regs for blackfin are 2 per person or 10 per vessel, which cannot be exceded. So even with 6 people on boat still only allowed 10 fish

@LifeByTheBow 4 года назад

Not true .. spoke with FWC prior to this video. I can assure you those are their words.

@southflwildadventures 4 года назад

Well done on getting those fish around the weather. It's very impressive how you're able to get out there with the bay boat. Great double action while catching the Mahi. You handled that like a pro. Those fresh Ballyhoo worked out well. I've only seen them chunked out and never whole. Always seen people using smaller live bait. Always learning something new on your channel. Keep it up.

@LifeByTheBow 4 года назад

Thanks Jeremy Unfortunately I don’t think we are going to be fishing together very much in the future. Covid gave her a lot of flexibility to come out and fish but now things are back in full swing it’s going to be difficult to have her involved 👎🏼
