In this video:
We end up saving a bird while fishing offshore off Key Largo, Florida. And don't worry this catch n cook is with fish and not the bird! So let me begin by explaining how this fishing trip went.

It's a full moon and I was eager to get out on the water super early to high speed troll for Wahoo. We wake up at 5am and I pack all my fishing gear for high speed trolling. I make coffee and get Beata out of bed. We have to start fishing early if we want to catch a wahoo.

We run out of tavernier creek, just north of Key Largo in South Florida. It's about a 5-6 mile drive over the patch reefs to get to the reefs edge. We zig zag troll between 100-200 feet of water. Trolling around 12-16 knots. It doesn't take long before we hook into a nice black fin tuna. I love tuna and already know i'm making sushi later!

We keep on trolling and our efforts seem futile. Something breaks off my daisy chain. Grrr there goes $40, I shouldn't have bought the expensive one haha. After some more trolling offshore I see a panicking bird being carried by a frigate bird. Poor fellow, the frigate bird drops the laughing seagull and I quickly drove my boat up to the scene which deterred the frigate bird. I was determined to save this bird. I love birds (but I would never want one as a pet, so loud!)

We end up taking the bird to the Florida Keys Wild Bird Rehabilitation Center. This is in Tavernier. They will let me know how the bird does and if it can be saved. I will leave an update about that in an upcoming video. Would be awesome if he can be saved.

When we get home it's time for sushi! Time for the catch and cook part of the episode to take light! I will be cleaning the black fin tuna and then turning it into sushi, so I guess there isn't actually any cooking involved. Just catch and fillet. I am wondering if I should start naming my videos catch clean cook instead of just catch n cook, but we shall see. I will show you how to make sushi. It's not super professional but I think I explain how to make sushi in a understandable way.
I show you how to fillet a tuna. At least this is how I fillet a tuna right now. The sushi turned out amazing! This was a truly awesome offshore fishing, bird saving, catch n cook experience for us!
