I remember sailing from Tampa to Panama City. A three day trip but only an hour or so of fishing. No freezer on board and not much room in the Ice Chest. We ate lot of fish but we also wasted too much. If the guy was like us and couldn't keep the meat from fresh then I'm ok with discarding the Dorado as he did.
Rich boy who doesn't know how to fillet a fish… Leave that to us poor men who fish to earn money, we will show you to properly make as much as possible out of that amount of meat.
Can't believe you tossed all of that fish into the sea! There was still tons of meat to be had and at least a few days of soup to be gleaned from the head and bones….
I fish off my small yacht on the east coast UK too but with worms at anchor as the water is too murky for lure fishing. I used to have fishing boats before buying a sailboat but wanted a cruising boat. Yachts make good fishing boats too as they are stable at anchor.
Whats with the harsh comments!! Who cares if their was plenty of meat left, I suspect he had more than enough and the carcass will feed other sea creatures. The probably had a 5 course meal in the marina the next day.
Dear Yachting World, this video is a real shame! It´s sad to see how little respect he shows for this amazing animal by wasting so much of it! And he should really learn how to choose the right knife for the job AND how to use it! This Video is wrong on so many levels, it´s disturbing.
Don't care about comments for me you are ok Belle brochette d'andouilles dans les commentaires. En gros ce gars fait un bon job. Merci au connards qui nous encouragent à partir seul.
each to his own…i troll light color on sunny days, dark on dark days, throw 5/6 colored beads between the hook and head of lure, this sets the hook back in the skirt as this increases hook ups and with 10' 120lb test leader on a swivel, all lures pre tied..just me, stay cool
It's always interesting to see how other people do things, even if you would do them differently. I'm sure Dan and the crew have such a plentiful supply of fish that they don't need to get every morsel of meat off, hence the wastage. The local sea creatures will feast on the leftovers and nothing will be wasted in the end…
On our boat we keep one of those plastic containers that lemon juice comes in. I have filled it with some very strong, cheap alcohol, and when I land a fish I squirt it into the gills and mouth. The jet of alcohol is very small and precise, so as well as killing the fish quickly and humanely, minimum alcohol is wasted. We all know alcohol spillage is a heinous crime…

By severing the spinal chord just behind the gills, you're only keeping it from flopping around, right? Wouldn't it still be alive while starting to bleed it? Wouldn't it be better (more humane) to kill it quick with a knife to the brain itself first? We do exactly that when spearing if we don't get a perfect kill. Serious question, not a criticism.
get a chopper asian knife,cut that carcass,in a pot,oignons,garlic,lemon grass ,lime,chili peppers and cilantro,cook yourself the nicest fish broth…..add noodles and chunks of fish…yummy
You did a few very smart things. First, by bleeding in the bucket, instead of overboard, you don't end up with a sea lion or shark taking it from you (happens all the time). Second, spiking the fish is smart and humane, I really liked that. The only thing I would suggest is that when you bring a fresh fish on deck, kick that reel into freespool.
Horror!
when cleaning a fish you slice DONT SAW ….its not a pice of wood
Your filleting knife needs a sharpen

How much fish can you catch on a daily basis.
must be rich or something….throwing all that meat away.
You did a great job filleting that fish. I also am not interested in eating fish heads.
get a "work sharp" (ken onion edition) knife sharpener… for a razor sharp filet knife.
yeah, thats not really filiting a fish mate… you did however save numerous lives by not becoming a surgeon…
That was a cow, not a bull

Wow, what a waste of that beautiful fish, the cheeks are the best with the most favor.
Great to see someone actually dispatch the fish so quickly rather than letting it expire (suffer). Hope it tasted great, tight lines everyone.
True princess fish amateur wow can it get any worse

Only thing more dangerous than a dull knife is an idiot that doesn't know better. Stab your hand out there and it's a long way to a surgeon.

I guess I'll be like everyone else. you waster alot of meat.
Thanks for the nice video about how y'all fish from your sailboat.
Do you ketch fish almost daily? How did you cook that fish?
You are going to cut yourself with that dull knife.
Damn, That is Happiness!
Delicious!
