      I second that. I’ve been binging the content nonstop the last 5 days and it caused me to impulsively buy a fishing boat here in the PNW. Been meaning to get another one for a while, but this sealed the deal. We’ll be seeing you in KeyWest next summer.

    Takes a humble human to admit ur off, much respect! Exactly why I watch you as well as my love for the keys! Never spear fished in my life, so impressed watching you dive at depth and then shoot a moving fish point blank. Id say being on vaca probably had something to do with the inaccuracy. Wishing you and your wife much success. 🤘

    I feel your frustration. As a hunter, there are always a couple of days each year where I just can’t get the muscles to work right & have a lousy day. On those days I just tell myself I would rather have a bad day in the field than a good day in the office. Those days just make me appreciate the outdoors, the beauty of nature, & the good days that much more. Awesome footage and video!!

    Great videos. Long time fan. With cooking the rice in the skillet. You just have to cook it longer. Once it’s ready the rice will release from the pan. If it sticks it’s not ready it’s just as simple as that. Looks good

  • @eroberts789
    @eroberts789 Před 3 měsíci

    Generally shallow fried foods stick to the pan for two reasons.. You were right about the first, you probably flipped to early. But more importantly you want that oil and pan real hot when you add. Try heating your oil close to smoke point before you add the fish. You can turn it down after to avoid burning but don't drop it too low or they will stuck when you flip.

  • @BlayneCoffey
    @BlayneCoffey Před 3 měsíci

    try scooting the rice pucks gently when you place them in the pan, just for a couple seconds. this will heat the rice up enough to get them to start steaming in the oil. steam keeps them from sticking. or make sure your cast iron pan is super slick. easier to scoot IMO.

    La Jolla means the jewel in Spanish, so the place is named right. It looks awesome.
    As far as the snook fishin' goes, they're finicky strange fish. If they're not hungry they're very hard to catch. Don't feel bad. I always did best with live bait, tiny weights and hooks, and an outgoing tide.
    The reef footage was awesome, it really is beautiful down there. Hope I can get back sometime. Thanks for sharing the adventure.

  • @user-nj2vv2xm4j

    I think spearfishing is like many sports, some days you play great, get in a zone and can't miss. Other days you feel great but you play average. You surely are very good at what you do, great video.

  • @brycestreet111

    Very good looking sushi presentation. You are correct in that the rice is key in sushi. My Japanese mom always uses a sushi rice vinegar in powder form. Lots of different manufacturers make a Sushinoko product. In my biased opinion my mom's sushi rice is the best. Thanks for the video.

(Fish would be fine since it was so super high the shot thankfully, will just look like a bottle opener at the top) Since then I never trust my sharpening skills 😂
