FYI...Males have one large claw and females have two small claws.

Black drum actually do get upwards of that 50-60lb class range in Florida. Me and my dad used to go drop half a fist-sized blue crab underneath bridges right next to the pillars and catch em under the Gandy. 50lb mono, 50-60 flouro leader, 5 to 7/o mustad beak hook, 3oz egg on a Carolina rig. Usually about 3-4ft of leader. Havent been in years but im sure its just as good as its always been.

Looks like a good fish. Hawaii's crab eating Mu is top shelf.

I always love watching the catch (especially fishing out on the beautiful blue ocean), clean and cook. Wonderful, tasty recipes. But then you plate it, piling everything on top of each other, and I want to run away shouting "noooo....."

Sheepshead is my favorite fish to eat. Delicious!

I love learning from your videos! Great work breaking down things for us all to understand! Your meal look awesome and so good!! Great work 🙏🏽💯

Babe wake up, new landshark outdoors video

I've been watching The Victor's website for the past few years. Like going on a little vacation watching this. Victor has a great delivery & voice when explaining things- very educational. Great camaraderie around the people. BUT!!!! What really AMAZES me is when Victor fillets & cleans up these fish! HOW he never gets any blood on his pristine white long sleeve T-shirts!!!. Really enjoyed that video when he filleted the bluefin tuna from California. I cook as well. But I don't have Victor's gift. I have to apron up.:):)

Cedar Key Pier! Half a blue crab or live shrimp right down next to the pilings, Carolina rig Laser-sharp Kahle hook(3/O) let it soak! Light hitter at times. Bring your big dip net!!

Amazing fishing I love fishing too thank you for sharing

Oh so nice to see Brooks is my favorite KZfaqr U2 Viktor

Production is great now, feels like a proper fishing tv show

giant black drum: no better place to catch them then mothers day weekend in Cape May NJ. You fish whole ocean clams for them. Fish are regularly 60+ lbs. Cooking drum filets like chicken parm is a local favorite here.

Hey victor I use to knock the oysters of the sea wall and smash the oyster and hook they oyster and shell together and the couldn’t resist it

Landsharks pullout game is like how he pull those sharks out the water🫡🫡🫡

I'll never forget the time I swear a sheepshead school came through, you couldn't cast a line out without hitting a big one in seconds. Night fishing in Galveston TX. Believe it was in November.

Thank you for the Show! Can’t get enough of watching Florida fishing! Keep Casting!

Video quality is so great. Love watching 👍🏻

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED EVERY SECOND OF THIS VIDEO!!!

Love fishing the Indian river for snook and tarpon by the docs! Found a lot of sheepshead when fishing live shrimp as well, but will have to try fiddlers! Great vid keep up the amazing work victor!!

Vic I know the exact feeling you're talking about with fishing new baits or catching new species, I get it too, I get excited even when I catch something less desirable if it's a pb or a new species for me. I always joke with my buddies that it's another page completed in my Pokedex lol

Giant black drum? Sebastian inlet on the the end of the north jetty early mornings. The bite generally is over by 10 am.

Tampa bay around the bridges in the spring, caught several at 40 lbs with cut crabs, great video..

We use 3/0 live bait hooks, extra stout with a short shank . Sheep have concrete mouthes, the big hook gets behind the teeth.

Man I miss living in st Augustine every year this time was sheepshead year love fishing with fiddler crabs also can catch reds and black drum damn I miss it so much Great video

I saw some monster sheep head at picnic Island, and Tampa Bay last night at the pier that’s a good place to fish right now at night fish come into the lights on the pier

Been following for years love your videos and seeing how far it has come one day hope to fish with ya

Your videos are great. Great captain too. Your channel is one of the BEST

just visited florida and went spearfishing for sheepshead and mangrove snapper for the first time and got a 20 inch sheepshead! they are great tasting fish, loved every second of this video

Addictive Fishing I watch that to occasionally. They still do make new episodes of it. But I have to say I do love your videos more. Your positivity is awesome.

Go further north you will catch some tank black drum. Caught a 30/40 pounder near ponce inlet on a fiddler crab under a bridge they get much bigger too

love those sheepshead! great vid man!

Vic come to the OBX you will catch the biggest black/ Red drum on the east coast here and monster bluefish and you can also go fishing for tuna and marlin.

Black drum, Florida get huge. I’ve Caught in the 60 pound range, fernandina bch. Jetty and south end inlet. I think Mrs Moore caught one weight 90 plus back in the day. Sheepshead was a favorite species in my youth. North jetty and fiddlers were the bait. So much fun to catch because of the challenge of the non existent bight. Excellent table fare.

I’ve caught multiple 30+ pound black drums key bait is cutt fresh blue crabs in brackish water at the dam and bridges in Lynn haven fl always fun enjoyed the video bro!

We get large schools of mature black drum in the yankeetown/crystal river area every July like clockwork. 50+ fish in a pod with none smaller than 15lbs plenty pushing 30lbs

There's a little indentation right next to the dorsal fin on a sheepshead. You can get under the skin easily there and get a cleaner line on the top of those fillets. I like to eat sheepshead better than any other inshore fish.

I lived in Florida cause I wouldn't mind having a taste test with you guys 😆. Love your and Brooks videos. Keep up the good work.. 🐠🐟

In your video on the Golden Tile Fish, the fish you called a green eyed shark turned out to be a greeneye spurdog.

very nice fishing, catching big fish, watching from Philippines

I've caught some absolutely massive springtime black drum in Galveston, TX. I use Reel Men Fishing Charters. I've limited out on drum, sheepshead, and bonnetheads every time using him. Always a great time.

I like your job it looks like too much fun in minnesnota it’s 7 degrees have a great day

Yakin’ with Jack catches monsters in the Pensacola/Orange beach area. Should partner up with him on a big black drum video

Sheepshead are really great in fish stew or soup. My dad and i eat it all the time in cream based or tomato based soup/stew. They are like the perfect texture for stewing. Just an awesome fish. Figured id let you know. Its something different

Hallover canal near Titusville nice black drum

Oh Man, Victor you were in my neighborhood. Those power lines are from a power plant I worked at for over 30 years, St. Lucie Nuclear Power Plant. Wish I knew you all were going to be in my area. Would have enjoyed meeting you all in person. Sheepshead bite is usually subtle. They take the bait in and crush it. Don't usually run. Kinda difficult to catch them when you are casting to them. Ideally you fish for them from above and put the weight at the bottom of the line and the hook about a foot above it. That way you feel the bite better. Some actually park the boat and fish from the bridge structure. We also will chum by scraping the barnacles from the bridge to get them to come around. , Mojarra's, Sand Perch are delicious and Black Drum can go over 100lbs. If you use blue crabs, cut in half you'll catch big Black Drum at the bridges. Good luck. Keep the videos coming. Especially the catch and cooks.

Awesome footage super crisp footage

you should talk to salty strikes in New Smyrna. He know all the great sheepshead and black drum locations and I'm pretty sure he would love to collab with you.

I live in Corpus Christi, i have 2 little spot: for the monster black drums, biggest I’ve caught was 43 3/8 inches, buddy of mine has caught a 46 inch at the same spot.. one spot is about a 2-4 mile walk, and another spot is a hour drive away from i am🤝

Watching you cook, I think I can smell it through my screen....🤣🤣🤣

Every year for the past 21 years I’ve left my home in Fort Lauderdale to spend a week over summer fishing on Androscoggin lake in Leeds, Maine. I catch large and small mouth bass up to 6-8 lbs, pickerel, and white perch. There are trout in the lake also but I’ve never pulled one out myself during summer. I did see someone catch a rainbow trout in the lake once but I think you’re more likely to catch brown trout if/when you do. Anyway, it’s a beautiful place and I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a scenic getaway. We stay at Angell Cove Cottages which is the best place on this lake, without a doubt. Maybe I’ll see you out there one year, Vic! We know a lot of the locals and get into lots of shenanigans so we can show you around town.

This spring we can go get that BIG black drum and big tripletail checked off... few months from Mayhem time!

Yes, shout out to the Mogan Man on Fox Sun Sports, Addictive Fishing is what got me into sport fishing.

Idk now but when I was a kid the pier across from barefoot bay was loaded with sheepshead, puffers, etc.

Love the Vid keep up the good work Vik, you are living my future and I hope to follow in ur steps

Looks like you’re fishing the Brevard County bridges (my stomping grounds). You are right where some big black drum live. Not too long ago, someone caught a 70 pounder underneath the 520 bridge. Bring some decently heavy gear, tear the top off of a blue crab, and let that puppy soak up against a piling. About 5 years ago I was also night fishing the north causeway in New Smyrna, folks were pulling in 20-40 pounders all night.

According to John Skinner its good to take the legs of the crab because Sheepsheads are notorious for stealing your bait and just taking it on the legs so they are difficult to hook.

Vic , Great job on the sheep! Check out John Skinner over in Pine Island. He seems to do a good job on the Sheep.

Great video on all aspects of fishing sheepshead .

Bro you fish with the drum God. Joey catches the 50 60pd drums at inlet like taking candy from a baby.

Heads up to anyone watching- while puffers are delicious, it's illegal to keep them from Martin County (where this was filmed) up through Volusia County.

Lets go make that black drum vid!

May the lord bless you and your wife and don't forget the net or the gaf lmao 😆😂 ✌️❤️🙏

Love your videos brotha! Have seen you and Johnny out at Ida, and then saw your video just a few days later! I love how down to earth you and Brooke are! Tight lights bro

Another great one. There are no trash fish. Sheepshead are amazing. Mom didn't know how to fillet so we gutted, headed and scaled them. Cooked em in oil and flaked the meat off the skin. But my all time favorite "trash" fish are grunts. I will eat them over grouper any day. If you want big drum head over to Tampa bay and fish off the Gandy Bridge, if you still can. Of the cat walk we regularly caught 30 to 50 pounders when they are coming up into the bay to spawn. Wormy as all get out but it's tow truck fishing at it's best. Sheeps head hint; carry along an old garden hoe that you straightened out and scrape along the structure. Chum deluxe and it brings in everything.

Great video Vick. I think most avid fisherman look at the stomach contents. Its always good to know what your fish are eating.

In Corpus Christi Tx have big black Drum up to 60 lb this is Drum season.

Amazing fishing! Fishing is my hobby. Thanks for sharing! Best wishes for your channel

Great video thanks for sharing 👍😀

Cross.... looks really good Victor Brook and the guys thanks for taking the time to video that catch clean cook 🍳 I was fishing st Petersburg Florida dangling the filter crab 🦀 right in front of the sheep head 😂 🤣😂 he must of been full because he didn't take the baite .... grill cheese that fish 😂 🤣😂 looks like it be perfect on a sandwich 🥪 just saying ❤

Yo from your friend in San Diego California USA 🇺🇸 🤜🏻🤛🏻👈

Beautiful dish... Would be exotic with a side of fresh quinoa. Maybe blackened oysters and mushrooms with the fish would be all out.

I caught my biggest black drum on an out going tide at the jensen bridge. 28 inches long.

Waiting on a ramora catch and cook!!

Biggest sheepshead celebration ever.

Didn't know mojarras were snook candy, here in Honduras they're everywhere and I don't use them much thanks for the tip

You should open your own seafood restaurant 😃

I used those same small crab , and I find it's best to hook them from right where tire foot is attached to thier belly and come through the back

Florida record for a black drum is 96lbs I looked it up common in the 30 to 50lb range thru Florida

Delaware bay up north in may, giant black drum caught every year

Been Sheepie fishing a couple times this month . Got one and got skunked. Fish can be very picky. Fiddler May work one day and then nothing but sand fleas the next day. May depend on where you fish for them as in more open versus coves

Enjoyed the video. We have a great sheepshead fishery up here in Jacksonville. Sooo...the big black drum come up into the st. johns river to spawn from the first full moon in March to the full moon in April. They can be targeted the same way as our bull red run in the fall. Three way swivel set up, with deshelled blue crab on a circle hook. The locals don't "talk" loud about it, but if you get out there, you can catch them 70-100lbs. No bs. Good luck my friend. Tight lines

Nice fish my lord, well done. 👍

Hey man I hear we have some black drum bridge monsters up here in Brunswick GA...I haven't been out to catch any as I'm always land fishing.... Getting a kayak soon tho to hunt some bridge monsters

Nice Sheepshead! Worth the trip for sure.

Here in Louisiana, we catch sheepshead like that. One tip to catching them: let them slack your line. Fish tight line with crab or shrimp and you’ll notice they always slack your line. Their teeth and the way they feed causes tons of fishermen to miss their bite

Yankeetown Florida has some really big black drum. Really like your videos. Great recipes.

Never get over how good it looks down there but here in Texas it’s kinda Ight sometimes muddy water and fhe weather has to be just right to catch a lot of fish stay catching fish Vic

Get with brant, beach bum, brad or cameraman Ron and let them take you to the canal in orange beach for monster big uglies. Or you can watch their videos and drive up and do it yourself. It’s a roadside extravaganza and you can take a grill and cook right there as well. Cool place. You can also eat at jimmy buffet’s sister’s restaurant on the same canal

Another Great Episode 👍🏾 You inspired me to start my KZfaq channel. Thanks for the inspiration 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾

love the vids

Vic, come up to the Galveston jetties in Texas. This time of year through April we catch a lot of big black drum!

Those look down are phenomenal eating

I love sheepshead they are so good in tacos or even Mexican fish soup or even in Mexican aluminum foil style... So tasty bro..

Sheep are usually 40/60 meat to carcass when filleted. You can get a little bit better return by also keeping the wings.

I'd hate to see your grocery bill every month but if you used a fry daddy it would go down half lol loved the vid as always

The throats are excellent to just grill up and snack on as well.

Love you man, but you all need some sheepshead fishing lessons. I do it all the time in Tampa Bay, but no idea how to catch a mutton or lobster. Glad you got some though. Does Johnny have a walkthrough on that new beautiful Hewes?

Nice video bro I’m going to start and I’m in it more just to eat 😂

Oh and I'm not sure about the regulations but scraping the barnacles attracts em when the bite is slow.
