PROHIBITED Goliath Grouper Harvest! Catch/Clean/Cook

Рет қаралды 407,490

Жыл бұрын

In this episode we head out in search of Goliath Grouper. Usually Goliath Grouper are prohibited to harvest but FWC ran a lottery tag system for the harvesting of recreationally caught goliath grouper for 2023. My buddy Taylor was lucky enough to get a tag so we set out with the goal to catch clean and cook a goliath grouper in the 24"-36" slot size. We caught a bunch of Goliath grouper this day and fortunately got one that we were able to take back home and eat for dinner! We also battled bull sharks, permit, jacks, cobia and a few other species of fish! Enjoy!

I’ve only seen one. In 1975, I hand lined a 463lb 97in monster off the Sunshine Skyway bridge. Epic. Weighed it at the boat dock and had an inspection by a couple of Enforcement Officers. Had it under a tarp. They thought we had bales of pot. Scared the snot out of em when we threw the tarp back. Drove into Tampa to show Salty Sol!

In Panama, these Jewfish were speared on both sides of the isthmus. We didn’t use the words harvest or Goliath. We just went out and had a good time. And if we ran into one or two, in the boat they went. Good eating, big or small.

Growing up in Key West we ate jewfish a lot in the 70's and early 80's. A lot of the old conchs would soak the fillets in milk to take out the briny flavor and soften the meat. Also, cut the fillets into thinner steaks instead of chunks like a black or red grouper technique.
