Caught a ton of them at Seawolf park. Took the fillets to work and fed about 12 coworkers. They ate all of the fish, no complaints.

Cam out here catching Trophy Gafftops. I see you playa. 😎

It's fun to catch the big ones they give you a good big pull at first , but ive really never kept them i just throw them back .. going to have to try them now. Great video by the way.

I like your necklace, and good work with them gaffs

Posted this right after that Twin Peaks dinner! Lol. Seen you earlier but didn’t wanna bother you.

I love using mustard when frying fish works and taste great

Gafftop are good. Need to bleed them though.

Awesome liked how you are going after different species of fish keep up the good work

Gafftopsail are really good, But I'll only take em home if it's a good size one, like 16" or more. Reason being is that the meat yield tends to be on the small side.

Great video brotha 👍🏼🙌🏼

They are tasty. I had to try a large one I caught. I like them but I dont keep them

Nice work out there! Love those jetties

The aluminum foil trick is amazing 👏

One of ur BEST vid so far!!👏👏 Simply because ur helping to bust the stigma(STUPIDITY) people around the Gulf Coast keep applying to Gafttop (catfish)not being good to eat!! It is good, edible fish. Best to immediately bleed them just like other fish. FYI: ALL 3 fins have a barb. Well Done!!🤙👍

Fun video!

I’ve been stabbed by them hard heads a lot and I just bleed the stab wound and stay quit like a warrior. I throw catfish back, I got tired of cleaning them. They are nasty, they will shit inside your cooler and will spread their slime all over the place.

My family has always eaten great they are great to eat you caught the best siza, next time cot off the tail put back in the water and let it bleed, they taste better with some lime, and LA sauce

Great video!! I need to try and eat them, looked delicious

Awesome video

Gotta say it you clean catfish like a city slicker. You skin them first. If you think sail cats are slimy, try eels. I have caught many Gaff Topsail catfish in Tampa Bay (we just called them sail cats) but not on purpose. The one I decided to eat didn't make it to the fryer. It had a group of fairly strange worms in the tail behind the anal fin. They looked like strings of jelly. Big black drum had the same malady. I am sure they are good if they are clean like the ones you caught.

Ok, Ok... Thank for sharing.! Tight Lines and Full Limits To Ya. 🎣

It’s all fun and games till you get a 2 inch barb in your hand😂

Love it man

Great video

Good video. Thanks

I catch them all the time but never ate one but after watching this??? I might have to try one next time.

Crucifix fish get them skulls

You got to be careful of the new flesh eating bacteria

Lets see you eat some Toad Fish next!

Is that braid or mono ? Idk which is better for salt water

When you get stun by one rub the fishes belly on it

We eat gaftop in soup. Fun fish to catch tbh

👌💯

Lemon juice gets rid of the slime

So if you take super hot water (close to boiling) and pour it over them--turns out super clean!!

I never keep them, if it’s not a freshwater cat it’s going back

If you leave them on the ground for about 15 to 20 minutes the slim will dry and fall off . You won't have the slime in your cooler

You don’t have to but I’m curious if you’d ever try a catch and cook a toadfish aka dogfish I’ve always caught them but never knew if it taste good or not lol I’m sorry

When I was younger we would knock them in the head and let them float away .

New subscriber here. Love your video! We have a similar KZfaq channel if you want to check it out, "Hunt and Gather with the Chatters". I've caught smaller salt water cats in Mexico, but never a Gaftopsail.
