Catch and Cook | Using a BallyHoop Net and Trolling Offshore Key Largo

Today Dan and I run offshore to test our new BallyHoop net which is basically a net designed to catch ballyhoo. Then we will go offshore trolling for mahi, wahoo and tuna in this fun Catch and Cook episode.

In this catch and cook video:
We run out to the key largo patch reef fishing between 12-17 feet of water and start chumming to get the ballyhoo behind the boat. They must have been in deeper waters today because they were not thick at all!

It took a lot of effort to get the ballyhoo to finally show up. Finally the key largo patch reefs start to produce and present us with some great ballyhoo baits. We deploy the ballyhoop net and catch our first load of ballyhoo. This is a great fishing net to catch ballyhoo

Wondering how to use a ballyhoo net?
This ballyhoo net is much easier at getting the ballyhoo far back compared to throwing a cast net. It's great when the ballyhoo are being skiddish. We load the livewell with fresh ballyhoo and now it's time to go fishing offshore!

We run out to 600 feet deep water and find a floating bucket. We start fishing the bucket and I catch a couple small bar jacks. Trash and wood and any big floating objects very far offshore usual hold a lot of fish and are great fishing spots. We decide to start trolling.

It's not long before our lines are hit. I can already taste the wahoo for this catch and cook. But darn it got off! Another hit and another loss. Man this is starting to worry me. Will there even be a catch n cook?

We eventually do catch some fish and be ready for an interesting catch and cook because this isn't normally a fish I would ever eat. And to be honest, it's my first time cooking this fish. It's a false albacore. I've seen people call them bonito or bonita, but I think the correct term for the specific tuna I caught is a false albacore.

Overall it was another AMAZING patch reef fishing and offshore trolling day =)
