Sinking 10 miles offshore | A scary fishing catch n cook

Nothing like the feeling of sinking in a boat offshore but at least I know my Deep Drop Chicken Rigs work! Support the channel and get some:

In this fishing catch and cook episode on the South Florida Fishing Channel we go deep dropping at the islamorada humps and catch some great fish, but the weather quickly shifts and we decide to head back to land.

The wind and waves pick up, but nothing I haven't been in before. We hit a wave and hear the transom crack. The fiberglass at the top bolts of the engine is almost completely ripped off and the bottom bolts are cracked through and water starts to pour into the bilge.

At this point we are officially sinking 10 miles offshore with land not in sight. The only thing I see is Molasses reef tower, tiny off in the distance. On top of that boat sinking issue, the sun is almost down and it's going to be dark. Not a good time to sink...

This is a scary fishing catch n cook. But at least it's a fishing catch and cook. If the boat would have sank there would be no catch and cook.

If you were in this same situation where you feel your boat is sinking offshore and there is no one around what would you do?

Huge thanks to the coast guard for getting to my position so fast. It felt so much better knowing coast guard was in the sky looking for our boat if we would have sank offshore.

Now I need to find someone to fix my transom and hopefully I will never have boat sinking in my youtube video title again. It is scary when you realize your boat is taking on water and sinking, but it important to stay focused and do what you have to so you can live to fish another day.

Hope you enjoyed this offshore fishing catch and cook video. I will try my best to figure out more catch n cook videos for ya'll and i'll see you on the next fishing catch n cook episode!

PS: I promise there will be no more boat sinking...
