As Thanksgiving quickly approaches so do the first few cold fronts of the year. With these cold fronts comes a migration of mullet, ballyhoo and pilchards that stirs up the pelagic species like Wahoo, Sailfish and Kingfish. The timing couldn’t be better because a few Kingfish in the Yeti can make for a Thanksgiving side dish or appetizer that your guests will love.

Here is my favorite recipe for smoked Kingfish spread and the one I will use for the big meal but also for several football games. I know it is good because there have never been any leftovers.

Yeti keeps stepping up their game. Here is the new Yeti Loadout Bucket. The strongest bucket ever

Each of the fish we fish for have ways that they can be held safely. There are very few fish that we catch that do not have dangerous parts. Teeth, sharp fins, bills or gill rakers can all cause damage to your hands while other fish just react wildly to being held.

As a Captain or an avid fisherman, it is important to know how to handle each fish to get it in the Yeti or to release it safely and unharmed.

Taking care of your catch:
Take only what you can properly handle, store and eat.  Here are some tips for keeping your catch cool and fresh:

Captain Scott Walker explains why the Yeti Hopper is his favorite cooler.

 Fresh fish will only last a few days in the fridge, but freezing your catch properly will preserve it for months, if done the right way.
