Alright, I'm just gonna do a high-low rig
Here's our famous Squidy Bits this is perfect for
porgy, black sea bass, striped bass, flounder, stuff like that
really, I'll just need a couple of pieces for this whole
fishing
adventure
[Singing:] I'm so excited
to catch a porgy
it's been a long time since I've caught
a frickin' porgy
oh, super high tide here, huh?
[Uncle Bill says something]
[Brendon:] huh?
[Uncle Bill says something]
[Brendon:] bite already?
[Uncle Bill:] yea, yea
see?
[Brendon:] There you go
They love that bait, right?
I'm on!
It's a nice one!
It's a nice 'un!
Oh yeah!
Here we go
There we go
This is called a scup porgy. Oh, and I gut hooked it
Darn
That's it
I'm on!
Look at that rod bend
oh my gosh
These are feisty fighters!
Just for a little fish like that!
Ok, th- they're swallowing my bait
They're just engulfing it
I gotta change out my hooks now
Erin, I'm catching porgy nonstop
I'm gonna catch a porgy and let's fry him up!
[Erin:] Alright!
[Brendon:] I need a lighter sinker, first of all.
So maybe I'll do like a...
[Erin:] One ounce?
[Brendon:] Yeah!
That was too heavy, O.D.
That bacon smells really good!
[Erin:] Do you want a piece?
[Brendon:] Oh, thank you
MMMMMM
[Erin:] Too crunchy?
[Brendon:] MMM, no! I love it like that!
Dream come true
Catching fish, eatin' bacon
[Erin:] Catching fish and eating bacon?
[Brendon:] Yea!
It's all I wanna do with the- for the rest of my days.
Ok, here's the rig I'm using
It's just a single hooked
rig with the, with the hook in the middle, sinker on the bottom
And this is the easiest kind of beach fishing I know of
The kind where you just go out and cast it out and you catch fish
pretty much instantly
Alright, fire up the grill! I'm comin' back with a fish.
I changed it to half an ounce now
Where have you casted?
In the middle?
I wanna try over here
I've taken my deeper here before and my fish finder
And, and marked that this is like 20 some feet right out by the boat right there
This is more like 18 feet right here
Ok, they're not biting it like this
I think I'm gonna switch hook size
oh yeah!
That's too small
We need a little bit bigger than that
Oh!
That one's better
That's still small though
Throw this one away
I got a little piece of bait like this off
A little piece of the Squidy Bits
And there's been like three or four fish already
I have smaller hooks, you want one?
They're in here
Let me see
No, those aren't too small. But, circle hook, I don't know
You know, I never caught 'em on circle hook
Circle hooks are for fish that run with it
I'm on a fish!
[Uncle Bill says something]
[Brendon:] Yea, it got off
As soon as I downsized that hook, man
As soon as I did that and downsized my bait,
I'm getting bites again.
They wouldn't even touch it before!
Ok, I'm gonna go eat real quick
As soon as I say I'm bringing a fish up to eat,
They're gone
What'd you make?
*gasp* oh my goodness!
Oh my god, that looks so good!
This is the fresh french bread, right?
[Erin:] Mhm
[Brendon:] cheers
MMM
Oh that's really good
Oh yea I had a fish the whole time!
Wow!
Swallowed it again
I can't help it that my bait's so tasty
There we go!
They're a little higher up in the water. The other one, I had the hooks pretty low
This is a nice one
Hopefully a better eating-size one
I mean this, it's a fun fight. Look at that
My rod's going all over the place
oh, this is a nice one
This is a nice one!
That's better eating
*laughs* oh my god, that was funny
ok, somehow I just lost my hook...and I caught a shell
But, this is good bait
So, I will use some of this as bait right here
Look at that
That's perfect, I'm gonna use that
There we go
Oh my gosh, I got another one!
I got this on the clam I just caught
I caught a clam
Or one of these barnacle things
put it out
for a tiny porgy
[Erin:] Nice
[Brendon:] That's tiny
That is teeny tiny
[Erin:] It's so cute!
[Brendon:] Give it a kiss
Alright, two fish!
'Kay, so it's scaled. Just need to gut it and then we're good to eat it
[Erin:] Awesome
oh, it eats lots of shells and stuff
It eats all sorts of shells
yea, in its stomach, lots of shells
ok, these are ready to fry up!
Gotta rinse them off one more time with water
'kay, I'm gonna cut some slits into it just so it fries easier
just like that
this way it'll fry easier, it'll get crispier
Mmm
I haven't had porgy in a while
How are these still moving!? They're al- I just filleted them just now!
[Erin:] What are you doing?
[Brendon:] They're alive!
[Erin:] Stop it
*laughs* what are you talking about?
[Brendon:] They're still moving! Look!
[Brendon:] Come on
[Erin:] Come on, Brendon
[Brendon:] Breakfast!
[Stranger:] Oh, that looks good!
[Brendon:] Ooohh that looks good
[Erin:] Careful
[Brendon:] Fresh catch!
[Erin:] Smells frickin' good [Brendon:] oh my goodness, that looks good
[Brendon:] If this is good, I'm gonna have to go catch more
Ok, should we do soy sauce or Old Bay?
[Erin:] Soy sauce!
[Brendon:] Soy sauce?
[Erin:] Soy sauce!
[Brendon:] What would you guys do? Comment below! Soy sauce, Old Bay?
Erin, you vote soy sauce?
[Erin:] That's my vote
[Brendon:] Oh yea, they're done. Oh my gosh, this looks yum!
oh yeah!
done
And then we're just gonna drizzle some soy sauce
VOILA!
[Erin:] MMM
[Brendon:] Soy sauce porgy
[Erin:] smells good
[Brendon:] All very fresh, right here at the beach
[Brendon:] oh yeah! [Erin:] oh yeah!
[Brendon:] This is the life!
This is the life. I love living out the back of my truck!
[Erin:] Yea?
[Brendon:] Yea, I do! I'd rather live out the back of my truck than in a house.
For a week at a time
[Erin:] Or in an RV?
[Brendon:] No, no RV. I like the truck.
Alright let's take this to the beach and eat it and I wanna catch more
Ooooohh that looks good. It's crispy - the skin is really crispy
Alright, tell me what you think
[Erin:] Mm
[Brendon:] good?
[Erin:] It's very good
[Brendon:] What does it taste like?
[Erin:] Fish!
[Brendon:] Compared to the bluefish?
compared to black sea bass, stuff like that
Is it fishy?
[Erin:] Mhm
[Brendon:] It's fishy, huh?
[Erin:] Mhm
What do you think?
[Brendon:] It's buttery
[Erin:] It's delicious
[Brendon:] It's delicious, it's a little more fishy
But it's buttery, flaky
[Erin:] Yes, definitely
[Brendon:] Mmmm
'kay, so now we are taking some of this meat off
our leftovers
We can make it into the fishcakes again
by mixing it with mayo and um, Ritz crackers, relish, uh and an egg and mix it up and pan fry it
So, we're gonna save this for later
[Erin:] That was fun
[Brendon:] Yeah!
[Erin:] I'm glad we did that
[Brendon:] If you haven't seen already, we have brand new Hey Skipper hats!
and, man, these are some good quality hats
Not like those old "dad hats" that I...
I mean I, I've tried making some "dad hats" with the Hey Skipper on it and it just didn't seem like very good quality
These are some good ones
And they're available on our website
Check it out in the link in the description below
It's a great way to help support us!
We've also got squidy bits in our store as well.
This is great bait for lots of different things
If you wanna try it for yourself, check it out!
Alright, Emma, if you're watching this look away!
[Erin:] What!?
[Brendon:]She's, she's vegan!
She doesn't wanna see me gut this fish!
[Erin:] How can she edit it AND look away!?
[Brendon:] Oh, edit this with your eyes closed!
