Two Days to Delivery | Big Fish Texas

Yeah baby, let the games begin! We have 15,000 pounds of fish to catch. That's a lot of fish to pull over rail! I don't care who you are. I almost got every hook. Might be little great here on me, but I got this. I've been doing this my whole life!

Yeah, oh my god, it's bomb fish! You're sure a lot better than your hunch. Is it happening or what? Husband off the water for two and a half months, can't catch his ass with both hands. Can't get them going over here! Let me show you how it's done.

Best way to target red snappers is to fish with abandon! Use a hydraulic reel or electric reel for the long fiberglass arm. You have two different gears. You start off with both.

Here's baited up. You bait a hook by cutting your bait up into a pinch and a half by inch and a half triangles, and then you put your hook in on the tip of the triangle. You're ready to get to work and get the job done! Usually run 20 to 30 hooks at a time. You have an old style window weight; that's what takes the geared our dead fan.

It'll start to hit and start to jiggle like that. Then, they have a hydraulic valve on the reel that brings it up, and boom, there they are! Beautiful fish! That was a good down. When you have 18 fish on a gear, the average four pounds a piece, you're not gonna be able to lift it over the side all at one time.

You gotta reach down and grab your line in between the fish so you don't stick yourself. Now, you also don't want to let it just pile up on the deck because then you've got fish flipping around, and they'll tangle your gear all up into enough.

You grab your other gear and send it to the bottom, and then you start taking these fish off the hook, and they go into ice chest. You're adding a little bit of salt water, that chill brine, to bring the temperature of the fish down. Come out a lot better when they're soaking just a little bit of water, and your reward is you get to go back to work!
