STRANGEST FISH I've Ever Seen... (Catch/Clean/Cook)
Рет қаралды 98,843
Күн бұрынIn this episode we head out deep dropping off the Florida Keys. Golden Tilefish are the target and we have a Hooker Electric Reel rigged up, a handcrank rod, and a slow pitch jig rod. We catch some blackbelly rosefish throughout the day and then in the afternoon I catch the strangest fish I've ever seen! It ate the slow pitch jig and turned out to be a channel scabbardfish. We did some research and turned out it's a delicacy! Back home Charlie (BonaFideWorldGuide) cooks up a delicious meal!

Record on the Channel Scabbard fish is 8lb 9oz. I had to go check them out. Very little is known about them besides they are found at 600’ and deeper, they aren’t protected, they don’t have scales, nothing on aging or diet or how widespread. Record was caught out of Rio de Janeiro.

That Silver Scabbard is a cool fish, we used to catch some big ones near the North and South bridges in Fort Pierce Florida. A lot of people call them Ribbon Fish, but that is not the correct name, they are Silver Scabbards, and there are also Black Scabbards. It's kinda weird catching them near those bridges in Fort Pierce because they usually live in REALLY deep water, like 500 to over 2000 feet deep, and come up at night to feed. Cool catch. You mentioned Oarfish, they are a lot different, they don't have teeth and they have really long thin fins that come off the top and bottom of their heads, and they get A LOT longer. like up to 30ft long. But I think most that are caught are around 10ft.

I like the idea of the Nik stick, do you make a two piece one that would fit in a suitcase? I have to say it doesn’t look like the best slow pitch rod for that weight of jig though…. The tip never straightens up so it’ll never have the slack it needs to flutter back down. Even with the best rods that’s hard to do in 800ft though I suppose

Thanks for watching. I don’t have any two piece rods. Definitely not the ideal jigging rod for such a big jig but it sure is fun when you hook up on it.
