It looked great! I am glad you are putting to the test this notion of "bad table fare" fish. Bonita is fantastic and you treated it with the love and care it needs.
I like that you keep the keeper's to keep the true meaning of fishing alive 🐟🎣 feeding yourself and family and the community of people who don't have food to eat and who like eating some good old fried up fish in the hot cooking grease 🍳🐟👍🎣👑👑👑. Z
That fake money have taken the true meaning of everything out of life, and only the good people keep it alive against the fake evil people who are being a Big curse to the earth 🌎 So keep the true meaning alive over the trash cash 💵 fakes in the world 🌎😡. Z
these are called mac tuna here in australia. caught thousands of them over the years ranging from about that size to 8 or 9 kilo. mostly spinning them on home made chromed lead slugs. used most of them for bait up until a few years ago but after watching youtube clips on how the japanese prepare them cook them pretty much the same and also eat them raw. great eating just different from traditional white fleshed fish. these are a true tuna variety ,bonito have sharp teeth almost as big as mackerel and much lighter flesh. we have several varieties here ranging from watsons leaping bonito that average half a kilo to the big dog tooth tuna . good vid interesting when you see familia fish half a planit away.
Awesome Video! I live in Navarre and work in Fort Walton Beach so I love seeing you fish all the spots around me. I keep some light tackle in the truck and try to fish whenever I get a break in work 🤙
Great video Dee! Love how you did the bonita with open eyes. Just watched one with Bama and Courtney and I didn’t feel that their eyes were open for it. Keep smiling
In the 1966 and on, we lived on Bonita. In SoCal we would catch Bonita at an average of 7 pounds and over, and the Bonita are small now. You don' put lemon any fish, and when you do, it means that you don't like the natural taste of fish.
I have eaten lots of Bonita. If you bleed it properly, ice it down immediately, and eat it the same day you caught it bonita is really good. Enjoyed the video !
Thank you for the post. Here in Mexico false Albacore is a great fish to eat. Sometimes called white (blanca bonita). Skip Jack??? Sometimes confused - darker meat. The Mexican approach is to make machaca with the tuna (with about anything). Takes the dark meat taste out and all the cooked verges and spices ramp up the taste.
Little late Vitamin D for those BFT’s. Got to be there right before sunrise which means leaving the dock at dark and going thru the pass at dark.😮 great vid. Thanks for sharing 😊
Y’all killed it man super cool video and you guys are stars man, great team of guys man stick with it and you guys will go beyond greatness in this industry 🤩
When I was a kid and we came to Florida to go deep sea fishing, if someone caught one of those the deckhands would stick a knife in it and throw it back saying they weren't any good to eat. What a shame. It's good to see a myth get busted.
My wife is Filipino. Her and her friends eat these fish regularly. They prepare a lot of their fish by thoroughly frying them. I will make it for her by cutting into 2 inch chunks. Leave the skin on. Just slice the fish into 2 inch sections bones and all. Coat with Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder and Ground Ginger. Fry until they have a medium dark to dark brown color. Make a sauce of 2 tbsp. of Spiced Vinegar or regular vinegar, 2 tbsp. soy sauce, fresh ginger to taste, thai or other small chili pepper cut up or cracked red pepper. Dip your fish in the sauce and enjoy. I do this with regular tuna also. The sauce goes great with any fish just fried up. Do not bother with corn meal or flour on the fish. Cook any regular flake fish like Tilapia, Bluegill, Crappie, Bonita, tuna like this and enjoy.
I used to kayak fish off of Boca Raton/Boynton Beach. Caught plenty of Bonita. Gut them and bleed them out and keep them cool and the filets should be pink with a bloodline in the middle. Yup, tastes like tuna!!!
If you got the time, grab something to eat, grab a drink, take a seat, enjoy what you see, and watch me... Mr. Vitamin Dee TV . I am giving you this intro, so please take it. Love the channel and have been subscribed ever since Brad and Ron introduced you to me. Keep up the great videos !!
I’ve seen a couple guys on YT do bonito this way and they said the same thing as you, just like tuna. I’ve caught hundreds of these over the years and cut em up for bait. I’ll be eating them from now on
That looks delicious! Can't wait till June when my family and I will be on vacation in Fort Morgan and try to catch some fish from the surf! We've also got a charter set up! It would be awesome if you and the clickbaiters could surf fish with us while we're down there! Love your all's videos, been learning alot about fishing the surf from you guys!
Everyone has different flavor expectations, personally when it comes to fish I prefer oiler fish which many hate because of the fish flavor. That look perfect.
New sub , you make really good videos . Bonitas are good bait for Marlin too. I've never thought to eat one but I'm going to try it out. It looked great , like Tuna Tataki ! It's funny how fish get undeserved reputations. I used to not eat Sheepshead and when I finally did I felt stupid for not eating it before. Sheepshead is awesome.
I love the content! I’d love to own a boat like yours within 10 years. What’s the process of buying one and how much money should I bring to the table? 😎
I COULD NOT EVER JUSTIFY PASSING UP THE OPPORTUNITY TO SUB TO 3 PHENOMENALLY KOO BROTHERS💪🏾💗💯👍🏾🎣🎣🎣❗️❗️❗️ AND BRO.

We Hawaiians love the blood. We don’t cook it Eat it raw. (Poke) Japanese make sashimi. I think they don’t want you to eat it because it’s more for them.
I caught my first mac tuna yesterday. I had to check for myself as I hear all the time " this fish is yuk, that fish is horrible yadda yadda yadda".... cooked it pretty much the same way and it was great. Are there better tasting - yeah sure, but I could easily eat mac tuna several times a week.
It would be good if You named the lures, and equipment that You are using . Like that transparent lure hanging out of the bonito. Bonito is one of My favorite fish that I have eaten in Jamaica. Well bled, and prepared. Jamaicans can cook ! Have You tried a squidtrex ? I would like to see You work one. You have an excellent channel, and a biblical beard.You are a True Son of God. May The Most High continue to bless You My Brother.......Joshua Seven Thunders///////

Bonita are not good unless they are bled out and fresh. Other than that bait only and very good for that. They are however fun as hell on light rigs.
I used to kayak fish off of Boca Raton/Boynton Beach. Caught plenty of Bonita. Gut them and bleed them out and keep them cool and the filets should be pink with a bloodline in the middle. Yup, tastes like tuna!!!
Loved it !!!!
They are fun to catch and fun to eat

Everyone says you can't catch fish with bananas on the boat
Bingo! 🎯 hahaha Hope all is well, brother! #family 🚀🚀🚀
-D

Awesome video Dee. You made that BOBO look pretty tasty, might have to try one. Keep up the great work.
I also eat them. Coat them in seasame seeds and sear as you did. Very good eats! Local New subscriber, love the channel!
Thanks Gramps! Im gonna have to do it right the next time! Haha Thanks for watching and thanks for the tips! #family

Great video as usual!
I have eaten it before. I cooked it on a charcoal grill. It was good...I just had to keep telling myself it was tuna. lol
When I was a kid on the West coast we ate Bonita all the time fried. Have had any from around here, everyone said I’d wasn’t good.
Another great video
Can't Believe you ate a BOO-NIT-Taaaa! Really good bait though!
Everyone has different flavor expectations, personally when it comes to fish I prefer oiler fish which many hate because of the fish flavor. That look perfect.

Going off the beach in the yak tomorrow, will def try this
Always gave them away. I was out for Kings off south Padre. You have me wishing I'd tried it.
Great video, but Tucker's fish nearly let you go at the same time he was going back😆 Gotta be careful out there.
Good video dee
I fish left handed and I'm a rightie, it feels natural to me.
Damn Bro, it's late again. Now I'm looking in the fridge!😂 Lauren is a beautiful young woman, good luck to you both.
Man that looks delicious!
Looks good ! I’d try it
I love the content! I’d love to own a boat like yours within 10 years. What’s the process of buying one and how much money should I bring to the table? 😎
AWESOME! 👀
New sub here, love the channel we visit Pensacola 2 times a yr, how far off shore did you go on this trip?
6-8miles I think?
Man Dee is winning 😉
Every fish except the poisonous on make excellent table fair where prepared right.

We Hawaiians love the blood.
We don’t cook it
Eat it raw. (Poke)
Japanese make sashimi.
I think they don’t want you to eat it because it’s more for them.
Really eating a banana on the boat? Your really not scared.great video.
Gotta get that potassium in! Hahaha Thanks for watching, Andy! #family
-D
I always get skeptical when the meat is dark red or really dark gray. This seemed to cook up nicely though.
Looked like Laura hated it!! 😂
She loved it, it was all over her face
I caught my first mac tuna yesterday. I had to check for myself as I hear all the time " this fish is yuk, that fish is horrible yadda yadda yadda".... cooked it pretty much the same way and it was great. Are there better tasting - yeah sure, but I could easily eat mac tuna several times a week.
Next time coat it in sesame seeds, and sear it and dip it in teriyaki sauce
Nice man !
What year make and model is that boat?
bonito are underrated
I appreciate your thumb nails aren't any click bait like that guy with the big dirty beard 😂 !
Lol 😂
Hey dude, are you selling any merchandise? Digging the hats and tee-shirts
Do you have to use single hooks on lures in FL
No. You can use trebles as well.
Damn! You made me so hungry.
Cool jacket size matters! Want a t!
ITS A RIGHT HAND REEL. NOT LEFT.👍🏽 GREAT CATCH.THOUGH👍🏽🎣
Sashimi is a good way of eating it. If not the best.
Not left handed either but i prefer the reel on the right side.
lol was looking in the comments to see if anyone corrected him 😂.
Awesome...Lets Goooooo
Sweeeeeet boat
now everone gone to be eating 'em
🤔 maybe ill keep the next bobo i catch. It looked good all cooked up.
Have you caught enough fish to sell
I brine and smoke them like salmon.
It would be good if You named the lures, and equipment that You are using . Like that transparent lure hanging out of the bonito. Bonito is one of My favorite fish that I have eaten in Jamaica. Well bled, and prepared. Jamaicans can cook ! Have You tried a squidtrex ? I would like to see You work one. You have an excellent channel, and a biblical beard.You are a True Son of God.
