Trying to Catch Dinner When They Showed Up! 

I'm 61 and remember my Cub Scout days fondly. Learning real life skills. It's something every kid should do.

As an Eagle Scout, I appreciate you helping these kids!

My son will Eagle this Saturday...thanks to you and all the people who volunteer their time to teach the the boys. It makes a difference.

Thanks for taking us fishing today! Great video.

Very nice! Much appreciated that you give back to the kids!

Love this video Brant! As a Father myself I love the inclusion of the scouts, teaching our young men and boys to enjoy the outdoors and teaching them real skills instead of video games and social media! Keep it up!!! 👍🏻👍🏻🙏❤️

It reminds me of horse camping with Mr. Banks. He had a large hunk of steel with handles we'd put over the fire. OMG! I'd cook bacon, scrapple, eggs, hamburgers, steak, veges, you name it. Rest easy, Mr. Banks, those were great days!

As an eagle scout who went through both cub scouts and boy scouts fishing was always my favorite part about camping trips. Got both my fishing and fly fishing merit badges. Been almost 12 years since I finished my time with scouting.

Wanted to get out there Sunday morning but let my wife talk me out of it. Watching this video made me regret that decision…. Heard the bite was great all weekend!

Brants real mission today was to make us all hungry beyond belief!!! And it worked!! 😂😂😂😂🔥🔥

I was the guy set up just past yall at pickens. Really was a tough bite that day, but getting to see yall made it worth it. Great meeting you Brant!

great video. That is neat that you spent some time with the cub scouts. That food on the blackstone looked really good.

Back-to-back catches. Awesome!

Fantastic video Brant nothing like walking down to the beach right into a mackerel Blitz couldn't ask for a better day👍 I love cooking on my Blackstone too they're awesome grills along with my smoker grill it gives you the best of both worlds👍

you can't beat peppered bacon!! Good job w/ the cub scouts, you made their day and they will remember for years to come. A+

Being from the west coast I did a travel assignment to Montgomery Alabama and would go to the Destin fish market by my hospital and get pompano fish. Super good eating. Loved it. Need to go back

He's the great American fisherman watching you on RU-vid and Facebook can't get enough

i put my shirt on backwards this morning this video really made my day. Thanks Brant.

Great video Brant! Those scouts really enjoyed you taking time with them!

I was in Pensacola in January I went to Joe Patti's. I got me some pompano. I never had it before and it was awesome. Best tasting fish. Now I way it's so expensive.

Don’t stop, we need you to be there for us.

Watching your channel never gets old!

People like you keep the world balanced. Thank you!

Great video good on you helping the scouts, that's great fishing and a very nice breakfast.

Grills,and breakfast just go together. Tight lines,brother!

I'm always appreciating your content! Plus you are awesome and so dang down to earth Brant! 🤙❤️

Our scout leader was an AF survival instructor, so our outings were always "scavenging" outings; our summer camp canor trip, was not normal for the rest of the camp; we did not take provisions, and had to find our meal (12 of us); we survived that night on berries, 5 trout, and some yummy bugs.

Saturday was good out on the bay. Weather was nice and fish were chewing.

My mother used to cook basically all the fish and bacon grease except unless it was Cod or something like that but favorite one I was is either fresh rainbow trout or a native Brookie

Life is good in your neighborhood! The smells must be awesome!

Awesome, wholesome content Brant. 👏

Never would have thought if that combination! Looks yummy!

Man im 51 was in cub scouts and Boy Scouts troop106 Salem Oregon in fact a u of Oregon professor happened to be in my troop back then . It’s amazing everything you learn and just when it pays off using it.

About 4 years ago, we wound up in a school of bonnet heads. Great fun on ultra lights with a piece of shrimp. Try putting some Tony's creole or black pepper on your bacon.

I think I seen Ricky he's always lurking wherever brant seems to be 😂😂😂😂❤😂

Just happens to be lunchtime as I watch this. Great looking eats big guy!

I love bacon grease!!! I save it every time I cook a pound or two of bacon. Bacon grease is the only way I season my carbon steel wok!

nice! love me some spanish this time a year. the salt on the bacon though had my blood pressure throbbing 🤣

OMGosh! Gimme a bite of all of that! Looks SO delicious!!!

i miss Pensacola so badly. Been there 3 times, and the last time was 10 years ago. 'Cola is one of my Favorite vacation places.

I sheet pan my bacon with brown sugar and pepper for the greatest flavor !

Preppering the bacon, dang. Haven't yet, but it is on the list for sure!

Positive Vibes my friend ❤ One Love

Hehe. Love this video. Jamie is my best friend, and he was really excited about all this! Also, sharkeh 🦈

That breakfast looks awesome. Sometimes you're good sometimes you're lucky. Walked right into that school of mackerel.

I love your sand flea rake. But as a kid on the coast of North Carolina, we could just dig out a double handful of wet sand, and have more sand fleas than we knew what to do with. In 20 minutes we could catch a hundred.

Good man here way to share your knowledge.

Bonnie shark is one of the best eating sharks out there

Great video, Brant! Go Noles!

Im a total bacon geek! I can eat a full pound easily! So dang good!! ❤😃

Great video as always. Bonnet head shark is really good. Try it sometime.

I cannot believe you let that bonnet shark go

Heard about putting corn meal on your bacon! Haven’t tried it yet. Open to possibilities!

Never ever seasoned any bacon, interesting that you did.... Although my grandmother had a jar on the stove and all bacon dripping went into the jar and then she used it cook with.

Thank you, share, totally made my day, go Boy Scouts

Years ago a friend of mine and I was on his boat we were fishing by the bridges that go from the main land to sanibel island we got into a school of Spanish feeding I never had so much fun fishing in my life !!

Every time with pepper

Heck yeah!

season everything!!!!!

Yes I season bacon with sweet and hot spices very good

Bacon cooked on your smoker then add it to your meal👍

Making me hungry!!! Great video!!!

They best way to season a black stone is to use lard as its cooling down and place cheese cloth over it and it will never rust

Dude, I was just in Treasure Island Florida and I was fishing at John's Pass and I hammered Jack's just using a 1/4oz split shot and live shrimp. I also caught trout doing the same thing. The locals didn't like that some dude from MN was hammering fish

That looked so delicious bro. And yes I also so season my bacon as I cook it. This video was amazing and awesome dude 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Vid idea go to the pier and film others fishing and the difference on what you use compared to others. Many different ways to catch pier fish. Yours may be the easiest for beginners though.

Seasoning bacon??? That's a great idea and one I have never thought of doing. Thanks for the idea.

You know whats funny most people have these big setups for beach fishing me i use either split shots or small bell weights used for catfish in small ponds and circle hooks in three feet of water and let it drift and I've caught pompano,whiting, pinfish,makeral and small drum that way while most people dont catch anything ive found that if you use just enough weight but not to much on the beach when the fish hit they wont feel the resistance on the line it usually only takes me 2 cast this way per fish ive had game wardens just watch me fish like they would stand there for a few minutes watching probably because i use a micro pole as well i prefer a dock demon pole since its rather strong and flexible

Brant. You are so cool. You did a great job with this video. I love Ft Meyers area.

nice fishing trip you have ....

Come to North East Florida and catch all the bonnet heads you could ever dream of

Love me some bonnethead shark, one of the best eating sharks in my opinion. We have an over abundance of them down here in south Florida

My Aunt used to come in from Salem Oregon with pepper cured bacon that was to die for. I have never seen it anywhere else in the US.

I went to Perdido Key this weekend and I got the same shark in the beach. In the back of the Hilton. Everybody was asking.

Brant you need to eat the bonnethead sharks. Good as pompano IMO

That was actually a pretty big Bonnethead.

Tight lines

Love your videos Sir…..❤❤😊😊

Yak pak at Pickens I can’t wait to see one of yall out there🤘🏼

I do thick cut bacon with a little brown sugar and cayenne pepper. Amazing

I love your stuff man thanks for being a w RU-vidr

Lovely catch bru excellent video

Hi guys I'm watching right now. I'm 61 and really enjoy watching you fish. I am curious about your fishing APPAREL. I'm guessing this is not a frequent question you get. I'm watching you fishing on these beautiful beaches in this beautiful weather and you are covered from head to knee. I notice other people are similarly covered. I know for a fact when I was your age I would be wearing shorts and probably nothing else. So what's that all about and isn't it uncomfortably hot?

Those bull reds are starting to bite out at Pickens really well on live pin fish and shrimp

I love your channel

Got to wrap that fish in the bacon and cook it that is delicious I live over here in Jacksonville Florida Duval county we've been fishing at the huguenots at the jetties they call it they catch in Spanish mackerels big bull whitey 16 to 20 inches Beach bum will have a fit if he was out here

You should run for office, Brant. You’re pretty much the mayor already.

And Linseed oil is best for seasoning cast iron or any oil that polymerizes well. Science and stuff

I was a cub scout under-achiever. 1 year pin and still only my bobcat badge. I think I'm the only child on earth to "flunk" webelos.

Killer meal😋

You put my fish back😢 that young man is called big government over reach. 😅😅

Here in Australia We Throw Back Spanish Mackerel Don't LIKE The Taste. We Love Barramundi 😋 BEST tasting fish 🐟 Hand's Down.

Let the bacon heat up just a little and then hit it with the course ground black pepper

I even find your setup to be funny XD you got so much stuff but hey everyone is different when it comes to fishing

Yes I season my bacon with uncle Chris gourmet steak seasoning

I season just about everything I cook, including hotdogs.

The reflection was showing rusty.clean with metal brush that goes on a grinder

Try adding lemon pepper to your bacon. Life changing?? Pretty much.

Love your videos 😊😁❤️‍🔥 by the way what part of FL

What did you seasoning did you use on the fish?
