Hey guys! I just wanted to clarify a bit on the saltwater washdown thing again as I always seem to get a lot of questions. You should rinse/clean your fish fillets with SALTwater, not freshwater. Yes, you can make your own saltwater by adding salt to FW. No, this is really not open to debate, lol, it's science! :)
I'm not Dr. Osmosis but the gist of it is that the smaller FW molecules get into / permeate the fish and cause the meat to lose flavor and go bad faster. Saltwater does not do this. Maybe someone can explain it better, but SW is definitely better. Any knowledgeable person, or chef, will tell you this. Thanks and Keep on Catchin'!
PS: Here is another brief explanation that I found: fresh water flows into the cells that make up much of the meat. They don't actually explode because the lipid membranes stays intact. But they expand and become permeable to large molecules, so soluble proteins and small molecules that contribute to the flavor leak out. The flesh also becomes soft because of the extra water.
In practice, a quick rinse in fresh water doesn't hurt at all. There isn't enough time for a significant amount of water to be absorbed as long as the meat is patted dry. But it's best to just wipe off the fillets or give them a rinse in saltwater (either real or homemade) before freezing. Then rinse them after they thaw out just before cooking.
If you freeze fish in fresh water, large ice crystals form that punch holes in the cells membranes. This lets a lot of flavor leak out and really changes the texture of the meat. Freeze them after a rinse in saltwater or after patting them dry.
I've tried all the different ways over the years and it really makes a difference. Try it yourselves.
Thanks again.

Ok. so I've been watching several of your videos a day and I want to help. I'm wondering about the Patreon deal. Is the price per month (say if I offer the 5 a month pledge, is that 5 for the entire month or is it 5 per video you upload per month? Sorry for the confusion but I'm very very interested in getting this started so I can help Ya'all out. And Hey! On a side note. I'm disabled on SSI so I can sell my place here in Oklahoma and come be your intern for yah. Don't laugh. I'm serious. I enjoy fishing more than you guys do. TRUE STORY! KEEP ON CATCHN'

I sure would like to see the more girly side of you someday. While I absolutely love all the fishing action you're still a very attractive woman. Nothing wrong with being a girl sometimes. Maybe like a cook out or something. Idk, just a thought. Like maybe on a rainy day? Jump in that pool maybe? Your backyard looks fun. Great content. Thanks as always.

Great vids! Been subbed for a while. Was wondering if you could share what video editor you all use? We make fishing vids and have just purchased the adobe package with PrPro. Going through a learning curve. Also, are you all still planning an adventure to Swollfest in Grand Isle, Louisiana next month. My family would love to see y'all there.

Darci. I don't think I've ever seen ANYBODY who gets as excited as you do
when a fish hits! I am retiring May 31, 2017. I plan to
buy a 16' Carolina Skiff and be on the water (Galveston Bay) A LOT!
You've inspired me to take up fishing again. After watching you and
Brian, it's obvious to me that I have a lot to learn.

aaah
Great knives!
Gonna get some!
2 Questions:
1. Have you ever fallen into the water when on the bow fishing b/c of boat driver error? I worry about that a lot
2. Do you catch Red Snapper over there offshore bottom fishing = we do all along the Texas Gulf Coast.
LOVE YA'LL's REAL LIFE VIDEOS!

I like watching fish and game being broken down. You did a great Job. I think the thing you called a sharping steel is a honing steel, or it can be a little of both depending on how aggressive it's flies are. It's used to straighten the edge before each use. Thumbs up

Good Job! Finally I see someone fillet and skin a fish properly, that's the way I was taught by my dad back in the late 50's. You don't stick the knife in the gut, it does make a difference.
