I'm here in 2021 watching this video, and let me tell you, it is crazy how far you have come in a short bit of time with the quality of your videos.

Nice video! Coming down to perdido key this spring and want to catch some fish to prepare. This was a short simple and fun video to watch. Daughter enjoyed watching it too. Thanks again for sharing! NW Florida beautiful as always.

Brought some home after fishing with Matthew Isbell in Orange Beach. Great fish, cooked in oven with olive oil, greek season and lemon juice... AMAZING.

I like how you narrated your tactics and techniques for the targeted species. I would like to see some more of that.

Whiting are way underrated as a catch. November through March all along the Gulf of Mexico 1lb to 2.5lb whiting are common catches. I will put out 4 baitcasting rods on 9 to 10 ft light surf rods. The reels are spooled with 10 lb mono and a 1 oz to 3 oz sinker. A simple 4 to 5 ft section of pvc pipe makes an excellent rod holder. I use size 2 circle hooks on a 4 ft 20lb leader. The line has a snap swivel set to free slide on the rod end of the line. Another snap swivel is on the end to attach the hook and leader. A peeled slice of shrimp is all you need. Use just enough to cover the hook Cast out as far as possible. Tighten the line till the rod tip bends. Put out the next one. Usually by the time I get all four rods out one has a fish on. By the time I land the fish and cast out another bait there is one on another line. I have filled a cooler with 50 to 60 lbs of 1.5 lb plus whiting in three hours. They freeze well if you don't clean then. Clean what you will eat at a meal. I clean them just like you did. I roll them in seasoned cornmeal and fry. Eat them with potato salad, mac n cheese, collards or any side dish.

i grew up on whiting fish. we would never fillet them. we gut them, save the head for fish stock, and scale them. then depending on the size just chop them into 3 or 4 pieces and fry'em up. the fish is so easy to eat. basically the bones are just the spine. once you cook them it just comes right off when you open up each piece.

I love catch and cooks good idea

Great video nice save off the pier having fun catching up on your videos

Taste real good fried in corn meal, also. Love whiting!

just started catching whiting and came across this video. Love the tips and going to fry mine too!

Great video, I just moved to Panama city and have been pulling in 15"-18" whiting left and right and tossing them back. I think I will keep a few. Thanks.

whats up brant just found your channel great stuff. Living in San Diego love seeing how other people target and catch fish. Those lil whitings are a lot like the californian Corbina we have out here they run a bit smaller maybe and most people out here like myself catch em for fun not for dinner please keep posting ill keep watching

Awesome video man! I love catching whiting!

I'm new to channel been watching for last few months an I'm hooked 🎣I'm from CT new England an wanted to move to Florida for the longest time just for the fishing literally. U make me want to more huge Tampa Bay buccaneers fan since the alstott days so can't wait ur older videos are just as good as newest videos thanks an keep fishing never stop

I love whiting..... one of my all time favorite food fish. My other fav is pompano. I agree fried is best for whiting. Pretty hard to beat.

I'm a whiting fan as well. Way underated and such a beautiful silver and purple sheen in bright light. I was killing them yesterday at Melbourne Beach with peeled shrimp and a small piece of Fish Bites on each hook.

Please keep this up sounds amazing

absolutely delicious fish, they are mostly small but tasty.

Your way faster at cleaning fish than me also keep coming out with a great content

Dude just saw your KZfaq channel on my recommended haven't watch the video or any and just subbed without watching a second of it

great video! subbed. Keep em coming!

great vid man. I've lived in florida my whole life on the east coast in jacksonville. Just moved to Pensacola a week ago and tried my hand at some surfcasting about a mile west of the pier. First time I've been skunked surf casting for as long as I can remember. Any tips for this neck of the woods? I think I'm going to try the fort pickens area next.

I've been subbed for a while now, I just wanted to tell you I hope one day I can have a life like you have man. you look like you enjoy it so much. tight lines brotha

Its cool how trying to make fresh fishing content for KZfaq challenges you to do different styles of fishing. Forces you to challenge yourself.

Your surroundings whilst whiting fishing is totally different to ours here in the UK. Interesting to see your rig and bait presentation.

fun stuff!!! ❤❤❤

This is my first time watching your videos, it was an awesome video and you've just earned a New Subscriber #TightLines I love fishing Navarra

Now that's what I'm talking about catch clean and cook I really like your videos and you had gotten away from clean and cook's glad to c your back

whats up men.... tonigh I fished one of this whiting and remember this vide and I wanna to fish more of them but I could not ... bad weather. so I cleaned it up and filet it and tomorrow I will do my test. jejejeje thanks men for the video

Take those whiting filets and roll them up with chopped capers or green olives and onions with a slice of lemon peel ( you can whiz the veg in a blender to make a spread for the fish if you want to make it easy), hold with toothpicks and saute in garlic butter. Look out! It's a taste bud tantrum...:) Goes really good on any pasta. Herbs of choice of course.

Underrated fishing channel... new subscriber here. Keep up the good work buddy...

i love catch and cook on the water

Cool video. I tried some blue fish I had in my freezer I caught over the summer. Clean the red meat off and to my surprise was pretty good fried

I love your content

Thanks for the video. Question though: cleaning those whitings, did you just leave the bones in? The way you quickly filleted them, it looks like you just cut thru the bones?? thanks

I love Watching fish And I live in England

I liked it do LOTS MORE

What are your thoughts on catching live sand fleas and using them for bait? Also, are Fish Bites bait good to use as well? Thank you.

Those whiting look like small red fish. I bet they taste great! Nice bunch.

Another awesome vid bro! Whenever you get ready to come smash some trophy largemouth with me on pickwick lake let me know lol!

Thumbs up!

Hey man know I’m 4 years late lol but I live in coastal NC and just caught a mess of Virginia Mullet tonight, aka Whiting, aka sea mullet, aka northern king fish 😂 Great channel, from on die hard fisherman to another

Great vid! Do more catch and cook!

I use sandworm lure, I caught 15 of them in like 2 hours. The fish love them.

Great video man, do you do anything with the heads or racks?

Good stuff man I love your videos

keep doing this series.

keep up the good work

Whiting is the first fish I caught after moving to Florida. Seriously tasty.

Descale cut the fins off gut and cut 3 times each side deep fry !!love them !!

I fish Navarre pier every weekend and I went today and we caught a Bonita and a bunch of cigars. Usually you'll catch 3 or 4 flounder everyday right now

2022 love your vids. Especially catch and cook?!

nice video! keep em coming!

What’s your rod and reel setup?

What size ugly stick lite were you using in this video

I usually go fishing for bass to eat but I had a cookout on 4th of July and tasted some whiting that was some good damn eating

When I was a kid we'd slam whiting using sand fleas in Destin.

Hey brant, I've seen all your videos and I love all of them. I was wondering where I could buy some of your merchandise. I just got a fishing kayak and I want to represent your channel, by putting anglerup with Brant stickers on it.

Man I need to taste that fillet !

This is some of the best fish to cook . grilled fried or in the oven its alway turns out good

I love the fact that you show everything from catching to eating the fish, this is the best fishing channel on KZfaq now. Do you have a certain brand of fillet knife you like to use, or just a really good sharpener?

Do you know if these are related to our UK whiting? #healingthroughfishing

I love whiting I usually catch them on cut squid chunks

we were there yesterday and we caught 12 whiting and 2 pompano's. I have to say whiting is pretty darn good eating

Does Pacific Whiting fish have scales?

How do u get the bones out of the filets?

What Fillet knife is that?

How did you keep those shrimp alive without an air pump?

*VIDEO SUMMARY:* *Peel the shrimp & make sure when baiting the hook that the hook is not exposed & depending on distance from water expect 2-4 hours for entire experience (prep equipment, acquire bait & tackle, travel to location, fishing, relocating, return travel time, cleaning fish, cooking, cleaning equipment.*

I respect ✊ you this video people don’t look at whiting as a game fish but I love them and they give you good fight. For a small fish they are powerful they will take that rod out your hand.

Caught about 10 total over the passed two days . Only kept 3 . It seems to take a lot of them to make a good meal .

Let me ask a question. Does anybody know like the fish they use at Capt. D' S. Is that white fish ?

I live in Pensacola Florida and fish on the beach on a daily basis

what pier is that?

catch and cook at the spot? great vid btw

Me already knowing his personality after one sentence “there is no one out there so that’s good “ “hUh”

👍👍👍👍👍👍

Some people considering the whiting trash fish but they don't know what they're missing!

Hey Brant, you kind of skipped some steps in the cleaning process. Do you have to remove scales or skin? I just saw you slice a fillet.

Set up is allot like a double dropper loop it would be a good setup for you to try plus you can snip the bottom part of the loops to tie the hook on have a lot better luck like that easier to feel the bite and hook fish

Never cleaned whiting before.... Do you have to descale them?

damn those fish look good.

what pier is this because I go on the Navarre Beach Pier a lot

Are these the same as croakers or are they two different fish?

Mullet? Around here where I'm from in Texas, mullet have a stigma of not being very good..although it's a mixed reaction..I've never had it so I wouldn't know, can you catch and cook? New sub!

I just got back from the beach and brought home some whiting, hardhead, and a sheep head. I cleaned and got my fillets from the cat and whiting and they were so gross I didn't even bother with the sheep head.

Brant check out The Hook and The Cook from Australia, love your stuff.

What pier is that

What hook size do you use for whiting?

I agree they are a very good tasting fish... the only fish that tastes better in my opinion is croaker but both are excellent to eat... just takes a few to make a decent meal:)

Why are those white slingy lines in cooked whiting fish?🤔

Do you skin or scale?

You should do sheepshead next they are really good to eat and a challenge to catch

Whiting are my favorite fish right behind red snapper

you think if i came down there to pinsicola u could take me out lol i drink beer and love to fish i would put some gas in the boat ive went to destin before and loved it but i havent been that far south and now i live in texas again
