Here's a quick recap
We're still in Cape Cod on day 4 of hunting for keeper sized striped bass for dinner
We spent the first few days looking for fish and managed to find some blue fish yesterday, but that isn't exactly what we're looking for
This morning, we're here at the same spot an hour earlier
And this time we're using bucktails and fishing deeper in hopes to weed out bluefish and hit a big striper
{Brendon:] Oh! WOAH!
Did you see that!?
Woah! That's a stripe! That's a stripe!
Nice!
I- That jumped right out of the water for it
Yeah!
Not 28" though
I wanna keep one to eat!
[Erin:] You got a stripe
[Brendon:] Yea, we both got stripes
[Erin:] Nice!
[Erin:] Nice one, Pablo
[Brendon:] You on one?
Ooohhh!
[Erin:] 3 on at a time right now!
[Brendon:] STRIPE! StRIPE!
[Erin:] Ooohhh It's a nice one!
[Brendon:] Yes! I hit him on the swim!
There's so many bluefish and I still put it-
I put it on cuz I know that it- it- stripers love it!
Look at that moon!
[Erin:] The Harvest moon?
[Brendon:] I was talkin' about your face
[Erin:] What?
[Brendon:] I was talkin' about your face
Think that's a compliment...?
So
NOOOOO!
NOOO!
It finally happened
I just can't believe it lasted that long
Dang
That landed me some nice fish though
This Black Diamond can WING IT!
6 ounces! I can just sling 6 ounces!
This thing on itself is like 3 1/2, 4 ounces right here this-
This, uh, topwater plug
oh my gosh
The Black Diamond Phenix Rods

*Battle Cry* HYAAAAHHH!!!
get one for yourself
That's for fish cakes!
[Pablo:] Did you get them all on, um, topwater?
[Brendon:] Yea, these hit topwater
That's it. They didn't hit anything else for me
Here's morning's catch
[Erin:] Wow!
Wow
Got some nice ones!
[Brendon:] Yeah, I mean these are just the bluefish. We can't keep the striped bass
[Erin:] Right
[Brendon:] So, we kept the bluefish to make some fishcakes!
[Erin:] Right
[Brendon:] Look at this mess of lures here
I- I had to take a hook sharpener out at some point in the morning because I hit- I hit so many striped bass I was like "This has got to be dulling"
So, I started sharpening my hooks
And then I lost it right then and there
No more bucktail
So I had to use a 5 ounce bucktail which was so heavy
Stuff got crazy!
[Erin:] It DID get crazy
[Brendon:] It got really crazy
*Singing* In the dance floor silly, the ladies wanna see me
[James:] Were you jigging it at all?
[Brendon:] Barely- so, I was only jigging it to feel the bottom
[James:] Yeah
[Brendon:] Slow, slow, slow, Boom, Boom, Boom!
oh my gosh, I hit like 3 or 4 like that
[James:] No way!
[Brendon:] Yeah!
[James:] 3 or 4 this morning?
[Brendon:] 3 or 4 just on that one. And then jigs, I hit like 6
[James:] You hit 6 stripers!?
[Brendon:] I had so many stripers!
[James:] That's awesome
[Brendon:] Because I learned how to jig!
like, starting from Sebastian
uh, like
being able to feel that bottom is the most important part
yeah
And look at that fanny pack
We have those available in our store, it carries everything you need for uh, a nice morning of fishing
[Erin:] *laughing* What are you doing?
[Brendon:] I was trying to get some honey!
I couldn't get it. I couldn't reach it
Ok, so we're back at the campsite and I'm ready to cook up some bluefish
First, I'm just gonna start by rinsing all these off
to get the salt and get any kind of sand or any scales off of it
and then I gonna pan fry it up
[Erin:] That looks good! [Brendon:] Mmmm
[Brendon:] And basically what we're gonna do with this meat is let it cool down, pick off the meat, take out any kind of bones, mix it with mayo, relish, and and uh Ritz crackers
What else do we put in it?
[Erin:] egg yolk
[Brendon:] Oh! And an egg yolk, mix it up, ball it up, and pan fry it into what, what looks like a crab cake
And it tastes very similar to a crab cake as well
It's actually one of my favorite ways to eat bluefish
So, I'm just gonna finish cooking up this meat and I'm gonna save it for dinner
And I'm taking you to a very special place to eat this, Erin
[Erin:] Aw, really?
[Brendon:] Yeah, can you guess where?
[Erin:] Where?
[Brendon:] You're gonna have to find out. I'm not gonna tell you. You have to guess. What do you think?
[Erin:] Ummmm
[Brendon:] It's not Disney World
[Erin:] Is it the Canal?
[Brendon:] No, not the Canal. I'm gonna- you'll see
All right, look where we are
[Erin:] My favorite place to be with you
[Brendon:] Oh my gosh, I love this place
oh my god, and we're gonna go fishing right after this
[Erin:] Startin' to bubble
[Brendon:] Ok. Ready to eat
[Erin:] Ok
[Brendon:] Here are the final- here's the final dish
Bluefish cakes right here with the Hawaiian rolls. And then-
beautiful movie
It's gonna be good
[Erin:] Yeah
Oh, thank you
[Brendon:] Alright, let's dig in
Let's see how we like the cakes
MMmmm
That is good
[Erin:] That is SO good
[Brendon:] Isn't it?
[Erin:] Mmm cheers!
Tastes like a less crabby crab cake
[Brendon:] It tastes like a less crabby crab- it has a very similar texture though, right?
[Erin:] Mhm
[Brendon:] I mean, look at it
