The long eel like fishing is called a "Cutlass fish." They can grow up to 4' lengths and about 3"-4" diameter. They're usually dried like jerky and go great with beer!

This guys an absolute legend. Been watching catch and cook for about a year now and this legends channel is by far the best

In Australia we call it Hairtail. Live in deep water and come into river systems to spawn. Caught at night and tend to hang in jewfish holes. Great eating fish. Also best bait for swordfish!

what makes me watching your videos is your happiness in all of what ur doing, you manage to give me a smile while you are having a barbecue and that's amazing.

Those silver eels are actually pretty good eating, the Survival Beast rules! Yeww🤙

Man strange how I've literally just saw a mate land one of them out here. We call them Ribbon Fish out here but they are also called cutlass, belt, frost and silver something haha. And you're right mate, their skin is used to make lures and jigs as it has the shiniest skin like a mirror. Best bait for kings and Spanish...pretty much anything as live bait. And they get HUGE mate!

Such diversity in the water, love it.

I saw this on another NZ video Ollie Craig and he gave a good tip,never knew this as a bad thing but its not wise to burn diftwood.The reason not to burn driftwood is that when organics such as wood are burned in the presence of chlorides, dioxin is created in the flue gas. Dioxin is referred to as a persistent, bioaccumulating toxin, meaning it doesn’t decompose, and it builds up in the tissues of the organisms that ingest it. Specifically it can concentrate in mother’s milk. It has been associated with various cancers. Chemically, salt is sodium chloride, so salt-water driftwood is a big source of dioxin when burned. Just thought I'd share a little info:)

In NZ we call it a Frost fish, usually caught deep sea in 100-300m deep, often sent back down for wreckfish or swordfish baits though kiwis love to do what you just did and take them home and smoke them, apparently good in a fish pie. Keep up the awesome content Cavdog, can’t wait to see you casting a line with Briggsy again 👀👀👀👀

“Yeouuuw!” Love it!😂

This man is my favorite KZfaqr so far. I love your videos man keep safe. Love from Philippines. ❤️

Hey Mike, that long silver fish we call a ribbon fish here in Florida a well eating white meat fish. Cooks and eats well, best (to me) when cooked with seasoned cornmeal (S&P, garlic, onion powder) served with grits/hash-browns, eggs over easy, ect.... baked and so on bro.... enjoy your vids keep'm comin man..... Reverend Paul M Vining Sr Eustis Florida....

Keep safe bro. Great content as always. One love from beautiful Trinidad and Tobago ❤ 🇹🇹.

Saludos desde Panamá. Interesante sobre todo la naturaleza y esa forma libre y natural que se expresa en tus videos amigo. Saludos

AWESOME shows!! Keep'm coming...

Cutlass Fish ( Walla-Walla ) - we catch them over here in Richards Bay South Africa during the night in the hundreds at a time. Their dorsal fin makes like a wave action - that's where the fish gets its name from ' Walla-Walla '. Many deep sea anglers also use them to trawl for what you cal the Mahi-Mahi - we here call it a Dorado or Dolphin Fish.

Watch you every day. Love your videos. Going camping and fishing in Colorado USA for a few days. Hope I do as well. Keep on Rockin'

Wake up to a sick c&c for my bay. Fire way to start the day. Thanks mate

"Yuuuuuh!!" "That's craaaaazy brah" "Mate let's do it!" ... Phrases I've recenty started to use, I've noticed... 8-)))

Love the typical Aussie positive loving life attitude! Living the dream!

Cutlass fish? Great catch Also your comment about putting the skin in a fishing lure is actually very true, they are used as bait.

Loving the videos mate, keep up the great abs entertaining work 👍🏼

That’s a serious prawn!!! Living the dream 🤙🏼

That was one my favorite videos you have ever put out!

I’m addicted to your videos bro great viewing, awesome

I'm glad everyone knew what kinda fish that was. We don't have those in the southeast us. That's cool as heck.

Every one watching this wants to be you.You are the original frotha.Epic you legend.Cavdog (hairtail)

Wow that fish was a great catch of a hand line you were lucky it didn't take your hand line with it. Great content brother just a fellow Aussie watching from Melbourne Vic, that prawn was a great catch ten of them would have done the job especially with a nice cole beer and some lime juice. This is definitely getting a thumbs up and ill share it to my mates as well. I'll tell them to Sub as well cheers legend enjoy sending good vibes your way buds.💯👍😉🇦🇺

That was cool nice video I believe it was a recent video I watched earlier today were you were in the canoe and did a little catch and release but most people can't do what you just did if they didn't have the equipment but its nice to see how it can be done, I like watching more of catch and cook videos, but cool anyways, merry Christmas

nice eating hairtail mate, very strange you caught it in shallow waters, we use to catch them in botany bay next to the reclamation back in the early 70s but they disappeared after a few years. I enjoy watching your clips as you are down to earth of a bloke. Good luck and great to see our beautiful waters. This beautiful country has it ALL.

The “thing” that was white in the beginning it was a sort of inner shell of a calamar. It is very common to find them on peaches

From Jamaica and am a proud subscriber

Good one again!!

Props to this legend for catching and eating a fish he knows nothing about✊ Also Is there a general rule of thumb indicating which fish are potentially harmful?

Everything seems staged here .

Looks very fresh and yummmmm 😋

Caught a similar fish off New Jersey USA we called it a ribbon fish. As always thanks for the video.

I dont even know what to say. That was sick. You picked up trash and caught the biggest most delicious looking prawn and bait with it.and that fish looked like metal ribbon. Crazy. Thanks again Cavy.

I really enjoy listening to your accent.
