We all love yellowfin tuna, right? YouTube fishing star Robert Arrington from AKA “deermeatfordinner” shows us how he catches and cooks yellowfin, Louisiana style!
After an early morning meetup at the docks, the guests and crew board one of the many fully kitted Freeman center consoles the boys at the Mexican Gulf Fishing Cartel use for their charter services.
Guests and crew load up on live bait, specifically horn bellies, at just daybreak and targeted fish hanging around shrimp boats. The favored technique of this session is pitching live baits close to the shrimp boats and hang on for dear life.
They hook up just minutes after pitching the first few baits in. After almost 2 hours, the team finally get the gaffs into the tuna and haul up a massive tuna!
Once at the dock, deermeatfordinner proceeds to clean and prep the fish for cooking.
Let’s proceed with the recipes deermeatfordinner prepared for the family picnic.
