In this video:
I start with a little overview of the jigs and lures i'll be using for high speed trolling. This is a solo fishing trip so it's going to be a tough one. I have never done high speed trolling before and let me tell you, it is exhausting!
I fuel up at Tavernier Creek Marina and run out into the Atlantic Ocean towards the Islamorada humps. My main goal is to catch Wahoo today. Will I catch one? I start trolling around and manage to pick up some black fin tuna. Yummy!
After lots of high speed trolling I take a break and try some deep dropping over the islamorada humps. It's not long before I put in a nice amount of red snapper on the boat. Too bad they are out of season! I had to throw them back, but that's ok. I will catch those red snapper another day. Luckily I got a black fin snapper for the icebox. I will eat that fish later in the video. I catch and cook on the same day like a true champion
I try some more high speed trolling without too much more luck and then the worst thing ever happens. A massive fishing knot. Oh man what will I do?
Back at home I fillet the black fin tuna and freeze them for another day. I will be making sushi with that tuna later.
I eat the black fin snapper and it was amazing. This was another great catch n cook episode and I hope you enjoyed it! - Jak na to + styl
Suggestion: if out alone, get a 20’-ish coiled spear fishing line with clips and attach one side to engine kill switch and one to your belt so if you fall overboard the engine dies and (hopefully) you can swim back to the boat. Also, wear a belt bag and inside it have a PLB and a waterproof hand-held VHF. I fish alone sometimes and ALWAYS have that setup in case I go in the drink I can save myself. Great and entertaining videos man!
5 years ago ! I’m sure your a much better angler now with the tips and years of experience. I love the humility of your videos. Cheers mate.
Dear heart as a Mother, I would have been at the dock to greet you! Especially when you almost went over! I could imagine you falling in and the boat leaving you behind.
I love fishing and miss being able to go a lot!
Be careful, ok?
Awww the manatee was so cute 💕💕
Legend has it Heiko still ❤️’s comments even two years later
You know it!
Ha
He at least still appreciates his fans, and dares to admit when he makes a mistake. He hasn't got an inflated EGO. That's what makes him cool. He still listens to advice. Many guys, who have a lot of views and subscribers lose their mind, their originality.
Dennis Martinovich What does releasing Beeliners have anything to do with Bass fishing?
Dennis Martinovich he didn’t say he was giving tips... He made it very clear that he was gonna give it a go (there’s a first time for anything in life) after doin some research on it....
"Where's my GPS?" lol I first caught Wahoo in the keys by high speed trolling. It's a lot of fun!

Trolling is best practiced as a team sport. You can tighten a screw near the steering connection at the motor to stop the boat from driving herself. You had a great day. You caught dinner. You’ve worked your ass off, well done.
I was cracking up, with all the beeps,or farts, while you were getting so frustrated. Tight lines
I love how you made an hour video it's awesome I wish everybody would make longer videos most of the time they talk halfway through the video and you don't see much fishing but that's awesome bro anybody yourself I like you bro cool people you enjoy life and you love fishing I'll let you later I'm still enjoying the video
Viejo, la pesca es lo más exitante del mundo.... he sabido pasar dias enteros tratanto de hacer buena pesca en república dominciana y sabes qué, eso es lo divertido, no saber como será el dia o la niche. Por lo regular nos embarcamos y amanecemos en el mar fondianto y al dia siguiente haciendo currican y salimos con las manos vacías o cualquier otro se nos enganchan lo que menos estamos esperando... Muchas personas solo publican lo bonito y lo que atrapan, pero como tu lo hiciste en este video, así debe ser siempre, mostrar los buenos y los malos días porque al final lo único excitante es tirar la carnada al mar!
You wore me out watching this, you running around on that boat like a wild man!! I have to go take a nap now.. good stuff, brother!
Big thanks everyone. Turns out the Red Snapper in this video are actually 'Vermillion Snapper'. Once again I could have kept them but released them thinking they were Reds! You guys are helping out a lot here, soon i'll know all the species!
South Florida Fishing Channel download the app called FishRules. It’s free and shows all the species and regulations.
Yea i'll get it, I also have the Sport Fish of florida book which I really like
Make sure when you get it you set it to Atlantic federal waters. There are different regulations for state and federal waters
Those vermillion snapper are great to eat try one next time you get a chance
Bonita lure trolls at slower speed 6 to 8 knots good day though jt
That’s one thing I like is going from the fishing to the cooking. Makes for great content. First time seeing fishing content done this way. Good job
Blast from the past randomly today
It's nice going down memory lane sometimes =)
Biggest beeliners I've ever seen and this guy thought it was a red snapper and threw it back....... I was like NO DUDE, NO! On a more serious note, you need to operate a little bit safer when you are alone. That kill switch tether needs to be on you when the boat is moving, no exceptions - it could save your life man.
yea I ordered one the other day. Thanks man and yea sucks about those fish I threw back!
South Florida Fishing Channel Heiko get a Fell marine Bluetooth engine kill. I have one it wireless so no tether love mine go any where on boat no tether if fall overboard it kills engine instantly you can swim back. Check it out JT
I was thinking the same thing. I was almost thrown out of my sailboat one day when dealing with following seas and 10 foot waves. It's no joke when you're out there all alone.
I knew this man in brooklyn ny years ago went out alone on HE'S boat fell of and the prop cut his head THEY found him floating dead in the water poor Jacob . Sad way to die .
Thats what I am talking about and im from the Pacific Northwest even I knew that those where some Giant Beelinerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs very tastieeeeeeeeeeee his loss
Helpful to think about the difference between a tangle and a knot. If you treat a tangle like a knot you will create many knots from a tangle. Tangles are like loops inside of loops and a knot is a.....well, it’s a knot. Think of tangles as half knots. Open it up and spread it out and it can usually be resolved quickly. Sometimes once you open it up and spread it a little the tangle will simply fall apart or reveal itself. I’ve always bean fascinated with tangles. Even as a kid to find a tangled piece of string, cord, or even wire was like a fun puzzle to me. Now tangled braided line is like candy to me. Usually because nothing is biting and I have all day to untangle it.
Enjoyed your video a lot! My wife and I just went through the same trials and tribulations last week, trying to catch some black-fin tuna. We finally got it down, but never did catch any black-fin. We did catch about a dozen Bonitas and some Spanish Mackerel, all fun and most important, we learned a lot about high speed trolling - cheers.
I trim my skirts too, prevents most of the short strikes. I usually add a fresh bait strip. Even a treble hook can benefit from a strip. I seem to catch a lot of Tuna and assorted Mackerel speed trolling even when the Wahoo aren’t biting well.
Who is here only for the farts hahahh. Man you are hilarious. Love your videos.
Great video i loved the friendly manity laying with the engine water in the marina that was new to me the cocking of that blackfin snapper looked delicious with only salt and pepper finally great fishing and filming for only one person to handle the whole thing !!! Ohh great sunset too.
Sweet vids, found out about 2 days back about this channel and so far been enjoying your vids. Keep em comin
I could watch you for hours, you're like a kid in a candy store. Lol
i feel you heiko high speed trolling solo stresses tf outa you
That daisy chain was killing it the first half of this video.........I got to start this technique.... thanks bud
That Yellow-Eye was definitely not overcooked, but way undercooked to my liking !Good job cleaning and sealing the Tuna ! I know you like danger, but going out on the boat in those rough conditions is very , very dangerous ! I would hope you could find someone, ANYONE to go with you as a back up if you either fell out of the boat, or fell inside the boat and knocked yourself out ? STAY SAFE HEIKO ! Make sure you use that safety lanyard to the kill switch, especially when you are out there alone !!!
Great Videos! I Love your Enthusiasm. I get the same way. Keep up the good Videos
I lived on Plantation Key and fished the hump many times. I now live back in Michigan. While those were big rollers they are NOTHING like the choppy waters of Lake Michigan. Lake Michigan 4 ft waves will beat you to death...lol.
Awesome video
i just love your excitement dude...great job you're doing there!!! keep it up!
Good for you...you're DOING IT MAN!...Kudos...
Wos, que hermoso estuvo el final... ÉXITOS SIEMPRE!
Outstanding sir varied content,1 hour plus 👍🏻.trolling looks so much fun for those crazy fast fish in pursuit,and I’m salivating over your fish lunch good work son 👍🏻🇬🇧
anyone else feel like they were watching NASCAR waiting for the inevitable crash? Safety Bro!!! Plus dont you have to vent fish that come up from that deep that fast?
Thanks for the vid.
Honestly I barely came across you today, and you make the most hilarious noises 31:28. I love your videos and you're the only fisherman that has made me laugh the most! Keep it up!
Pretty work and fun video.
Just a little tip, especially when fishing solo, hand-lining 50-75' of pissed off wahoo is enough to get the most experienced wire man puckered up and the biggest risk is the line at your feet. Id suggest crimping a loop into that leader (use 4 crimps and two(2) - 3 or 4" pieces of same lb test.as.your leader making two loops and snap your in-line lead to.that so when landing the fish you can quickly un-snap your.lead and.continue to wind-on your leader.
If you have any questions about my mediocre explanation let me know and Ill show you a few examples of times I've usef it (i do mine with a #16old salty planer)
Love your channel. You’re living the life buddy!
Watching his soul leave him when the Mahi leave. Lmao.
I've been trolling the great lakes most of my life. It's almost impossible to single hand in heavy seas in a small craft. Wait for dead calm or a partner. I want to see more of your videos if you know what I mean. Keep up the great work!
Tighten up your steering a little and then the boat will stay straight. Slow down a bit when running from site to site when the waves are so big and you will reduce your stress and use less fuel.
Fishing all day when you get home it's just like sleeping with Captain Valium
Thanks for another nice fishing video, you educated me with your black snapper. :-)
FYI - Yelloweye snapper was actually a Blackfin snapper. Notice the black under the pectoral fins. Man! You should really keep a fish identification chart on your boat.
Love your boat man!!! Its a beast!
You committed two crimes against fisherman in this video...... Throwing back big vermillions and feeding tuna to the dolphin!!! Lol. You are learning on the fly and having fun so no worries.
Glad I found your channel man. Ive been looking for a while for an offshore fishing channel. Theres so many bass channels and inshore but it seems offshore is forgotten about. Maybe its just me and I am crap at finding channels. If anyone has some good offshore channels that post often, please inform me.
Man this video reminds me so much of when I started out. You learn something new everytime you go out though. Some unsolicited advice, keep the deck clear of lines, bags, and deck brushes. First hand experience tripping over shit on my deck and ending up in the water.
He's extremely inexperienced. No shoes, trolling by himself without a kill switch, hooks laying around, way too exciting and moving too fast. Dude is going to get himself killed
Split ring the hooks on the plug. the swivels are allowing hooks to swing over the lure.
Lol man you're really beating on that poor old merc! Always good fishing at the humps.
Vermilion Snapper man. Grab the fish app, it'll help with identifying different species. Also, plan for everything when fishing by yourself like that. Great video man. Be safe out there.
Awesome video first-time subscribing to your channel like it alot can't wait for the next one your friend in Jacksonville by the way awesome tuna
Dude you’re killin it. I’m in the same position. I go out and I fish. I get a little help from CZcams but no one ever gave me spots. I’ve never chartered a boat. I trailered all the way down to marathon last year and without any experience I trolled up a 100 pound blue marlin on a rapala 30’ deep diver. You should try them. They are easy to use and they also come in a 40’ diver now. I use them to troll for big grouper in north Florida where I live.
Looks like chop stick might be the utensil for eating fish out of the pan. Or at least as a back up for grabbing the smaller chunks
Great video; love your content and how much you actually show of each fishing trip, 👍
Btw, the first tuna was a tiny yellowfin, (the one with some blue in it) good eating
You really enjoyed that,😂🤣😂
hay I'm back - not trying to be a know it all , but have a few tips for you . #1 - keep a small bungee cord on your steering console , when trying to setup your trolling lines just hook it on your steering wheel with a little tension and it will help to keep you going straight . #2 - when you are fileting slide the tip of your knife under the skin with the edge facing out so you are actually cutting from the inside out for your first cuts . It will keep the edge sharp much much longer . Just some of the some of the tricks from when I fished commercial . Good luck & keep up the good videos !
I appreciate the tips man thanks, bungee cord sounds real interesting heh
It's indeed a great content !! Awesome @@ keep it Up!!
I watched a lot of your videos but this is the first time and heard you drop the F-bomb and I've ever seen you get like that I get just as cranky when I'm hungry when you're catching fish when you don't think about eating you there it happened to me once in Flamingo at the lay down on the deck of the boat
Love the video so far keep up the good work
Thanks Jordan, it's still not in HD so def give it like 10 more minutes to render into HD =) It's a long one! Cheers
Now it's in HD saweeeet
May be 2 years late but your videos are my favorite to watch just kick back for an hour and watch some sweet fishing and awesome commentary! Love alllllll of the videos keep it up!
Best video ever
I also like the Nomad Dtx in purple and black stripes
Man bro, talk about livin the dream!! I’m so jelly, someday...
One more tip when you're running those lines all the way to the bottom with 6 hooks or however many you have don't real up as soon as you get your first bite real it up a little bit and stop set it back down onto the bottom you'll probably get three fish or four fish instead of one
WoW...! awesome catch Great Vid... Red snappers has the same shape as the Mutton Snapper but red
I feel your pain heiko!
I was going to tell you that you were letting go vermilion snapper but someone beat me to it. Keep up the good work though I enjoy the channel
i live in florida an fish daily wish i had a homie like you that just needed a extra hand to fish on the boat lmao id be there daily lol
Hahahahaha too funny. Someday you'll look back and laugh about. Any time you go deep sea always have a pitch rod ready for the mahi. That was a vermillion snapper. Red snapper are really red and look more like a mutton but without the dot and blue lines in the face
Yea i'm already laughing about it heh. I learned
I hope you kept the numbers to that spot, those are some nice vermilions. Keep up the good vids.
I did I did =)
Loved the video!! This makes me wanna fish even more now! Cant believe I've been watching this for 1 hour. That's how I know something I'm watching is good! Keep up the awesome work!
this video is really cool Heiko. I think it's really cool to fish with you.
Thanks Gerco, hope all is good. Hope it's not too cold over there!
South Florida Fishing Channel now 26 F -3.3 degrees far too cold for me. I am going to the biggest indoor jungle in from Europe (WILDLANDS Emmen ) tomorrow and that is close to my home. to warm up there for 1 day
Just a thought this is what we do in Washington state when we fought them fish with more than one hook even if we get a hit and a hook-up will real about 10 cranks after we set the hook and drop it back to the bottom and get the other two hooks loaded up so you'll bring up two or three fish instead of just one specially when you're 300 feet or deeper
2 engines would help you out a lot but I know they cost a lot. I love your show too.
🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Awesome stuff dude
Great video bro!! Stay safe out there homie 👊🏼
Dude, get yourself an AUTO TETHER setup. If you go overboard out there, your boat keeps going in a straight line . . . I fish solo but I wear an auto thether, if I go over board the kils witch is activated. I also wear my lifejacket at all times and have a PLB in my jacket. The ocean can bite!
I'm sure you've tweaked your technique a bit but a couple words of advice: on the trolling lead you should have the shorter end of the cable snapped on the swivel going into into the rod tip, not the side connecting to your shock cord. This way the lead wont swing as much when it is cranked to the rod tip. Also, you should run your shotgun (longbait) off of your leaning post rocket launcher in the middle. Your straight butt rod would also be better for this and the bent butt should be used for the bonito or another wahoo lure Just makes for a better spread.
Damn bro great job
Hey man, I am with you, runnin g solo is tough bro. But I think you handled it ok. You caught some nice ones!
Love the length of your vidjas guy, keep it up if you can!
Hah great to hear!
People don't know how hard it is to fish hard, that's why I dig what you're doing, bum it all the way guy!
New to rig up a bungee cord for your steering wheel. I can think if a couple other more permanent method if you know how to drill and tap a hole.
good catch
You got the yellow eye heck yeah
You need a down rigger looks like great fishing I live on the east coast looks a lot different.
We used to troll off the Texas Coast in the Gulf at 4-8 knots. We mainly used the Boone King 2oz Zig. I’ve smoked Wahoo, Large Kings, etc. off that $8 trolling bait. I’d put one 100y out & the other just behind the engine wash. Try it out where you’re at. I’d love to see how it works. Gold & Silver colors worked best for me. Nice vids! New sub.
thanks for the infos! And WELCOME!!! =)
I don’t know what makes me more nervous. Either a.) watching you fast troll by yourself 20+ miles offshore (god forbid you fall off the boat). B.) watching you quickly try to cut bait with an over sized fillet knife in pitching seas c.) going 20+ miles offshore in a small cc with a single engine. Either way bro, awesome vid and a great catch! Just please stay safe
Heck of a video
b,liners man those were big,but I give you credit to troll in those conditions, your self, that's hard. and I know what you said when you seen all those mullet at the dock,would those dolphin have gone crazy for them,thay looked like keepers,great vid
Yea solo fishing is hard in those moments where dolphin just show up. If I had a buddy I could have kept chumming while the other person put a hook out
omg, thats queen snappers u released, what a waste, nevermind, hv to learn somewhere, keep up the good work!! 👍👍👍
Great video man
great job on the video brother
Never fish alone. you may end up throwing back a Vermilion snapper thinking it's a red. Don't worry dude I've done it before to, but mine was with size limit
LOL heh
Bad weather big fish
Bro for Snapper use barracuda for deep drop bait they love it!!
Dude, you need a fishing partner or deckhand to go out in open water like that , to give you a helping hand. You like to come back into port safe and sound. Nice catch. Good Luck
Captain - hands on the wheel at all times. Lanyard secured at all times when offshore. Nice catch bro....Please be safe and especially when solo out there. The ugly happens so fast out there.
You forgot, when by himself, a PFD always on !
@@keithscudder7136 great point....and especially 2 years later
@@paulnotine4033 It's all my years in the Coast Guard I guess. Have a nice Day.
I love your channel!!
Thank you so much!
Awesome video! I like how well you explain your tackle. How long is your boat?
It's a 236cc Key Largo. So basically 24ft. Deep V hull
Dang Heiko... can't imagine if you were to fall in with the boat in gear like that. Pretty scary to think about.
You cross your lines , that's what I do on my sail boat!
Fun video!
Sea cow catch and cook lmao. I’m sure they are protected. But if not that would be interesting
