    When i was young i worked in a market truck from a fishmonger and had a lot of filleting to do. We did check the fillets for worms on a box with lights in it and a glas screen on top (screenbox). The worms showed up as dark spots and easy to see in the transparent fillets. Easy to cut out or to disgard the infected piece of fish. Good and informative video.Thanks.

    When I worked at the seafood market in my town(I worked there for 23 years) I had a regular customer who was a marine biologist and she would only buy the cod filets if she saw the worms in them. She said as the fish becomes old the worms will actually leave the meat and you'll see them crawling on the tray. I'm sorry but I use worms to catch fish I'm not eating them. She said after you cook them they are completely harmless . I'll take her word for it lol. Another great video

    The difference in humility and respect(for) is noticeable between Aaron and people whom he interacts with in his videos. I don’t mean that in a bad way as I have a deep respect for his skill, knowledge and cool demeanor.
    I hope this rambling makes sense, as I know there’s a good chance you will read this comment yourself, Aaron.
    Admittedly I have critiqued you in some videos’ comment sections in the past, but I hope that can be forgiven. You seem like a cool and intelligent guy and I would enjoy hanging out with you, I’m sure, and would learn a lot as well.
    I’ll take you freshwater fishing in Minnesota for stream trout in the bluff lands, walleye/pike/Muskie in the north land and whatever kind of hunting you can think of in the whole surrounding areas!
    I digress. If this comment is ever actually read, especially by Mr. Young himself, I thank you ahead of time; you have a lot of patience! Peace.

    Up here in New Jersey where I am the only fish I ever really see that have worms are Cod. And usually once I filet the fish I put it in a plastic bag and stick it back on ice for a while. And the worms will tend to come to the surface of the filet and you can just pick them out.

    That looks like fantastic smoked fish ! Nearly every type of fish I’ve cleaned ,,,at sometime , or place I’ve found parasites. Obviously try to avoid seasons , species and locations where infestation are severe , but if you’ve seen enough fish you will find them. Like you said in the video it’s something you work around. I tend to not draw it to the attention of guests, or anybody. I don’t know of this as a health issue . I eat sushi now, but I wouldn’t for years and people never knew why. I’ve succumbed to peer pressure and love sushi,,,I’ve been feeding them dewormed fish for years.

    When I lived in Costa Rica and went trolling a lot we would drop jigs while a fish was being fought and the motor was in neutral. We drug up some decent snapper like that, but those guys don't have any way to tell how deep it is or what's under them. It could be an underwater mountain peak or a valley between underwater mountains. So we had no idea how far to drop or anything. I had some lures I could cast or drop so they were good for tuna on the surface too.
    I think you should add a little bit of bait or a Gulp trailer or rub Dr Juice or ProCure all over your jigs so they smell good to the fish. Their sense of smell is far stronger than a dog's so it's got to help. Also some smells repel fish, like sweat, sunscreen, bug repellent, gas/petroleum, and anything else that has a strong unnatural small. So it's good to cover up any negative scents. I never used them and lately I have been and they make a big difference in the Chesapeake Bay for sure. So even if nobody else does it I'd put a scent on those jigs, probably ProCure bloody tuna or herring but it probably doesn't matter as long as it smells like food to the fish.

  • @davewatson3398
    @davewatson3398 8 месяцев назад

    Like that you’re trying jigging. Slow pitch jigging is more about the movement of the jig (emulating a dying bait fish) versus vertical jigging (where you rip it up like escaping bait fish). That’s how slow pitch jiggers do it all day- slowly pitching the jig at +/- half reel crank a time up the water column maybe 20’, then back to the bottom. My experience in deeper water is that you need heavier jigs; they get to the bottom faster and counter the bottom currents better. My go-to weight in 150’ plus is 180gr and up.
