Most INVASIVE Fish in FLORIDA! Catch Clean Cook (Tiger Oscar)

To everyone commenting why did you release some of the oscars. In Florida you have the choice to release the invasive species into the same body of water from which it was caught. It is illegal to transport an invasive species and release them into a new body of water. People are focusing on the ones we released and negate the fact we harvested 30 oscars. I don't believe in senseless killing, regardless of native vs invasive status. There are 30 less Oscars in the everglades today after this video was filmed regardless of how many we released.

Love your videos. Not a fan of throwing invasives back. Keep as bait for other types of fishing or use as ingredients in a garden…etc. just a thought.

I guess it makes little difference, but why would you release them? They make good fertilizer.

I had one who lived around 14 years. He had a personality. I'd enter the room and he would get very excited. If I didn't feed him within a few minutes he would lay on the bottom pretending to be dead. He'd snap back to life if I picked up the net I'd use to catch a feeder. He's also jump out of the tank and take a goldfish from my hand. RIP Bud.

So crazy to see the fish I keep as a pet in the wild and being cooked.

Super Invasive fish. Proceeds to through it back.

You should be retaining all invasive species. Protect the Natives!

In Australia, returning invasive species like that can land you a fine!

Victor, why would you release invasive fish when they make good fertilizer? Isn't it best to get all you can out of the waterways of Florida?

My husband and I use to own an Oscar. He got so big that we use to feed him garden snakes and mice. He was so cool. He loved rubs and scratches. Im not kidding. They are a very smart fish.

I remember the first time I visited Florida we pulled over down in the everglades because everyone was looking at something. Turned out to be a manatee and I was amazed at how many oscars were also in the water. I had a 14” oscar in my tank at home, didn’t know they were invasive in Florida.

They were my favourite pets in 1990s ,we used to buy them for very high price,but never knew that they could breed like this!!

Those oscars were a ton of fun to catch! They brawl hard for their size.

I'm a 4th generation Miamian who moved to Missouri 13 years ago. There are few things I miss about FL, but this is definitely one of them. I often tell people that I sometimes find the fishing boring here, and they don't understand for the most part. There's just no comparison, you can catch a largemouth and jack in the same day and sometimes in the same place! Not to mention the sheer amount of life, the water literally breathes with it. Thanks for the video! Great reminder of home. ❤️

You’re catch clean and cook vids are always the best!

Love this channel, you are blessed in so many ways. You could be a top notch Chef if you wanted to be, your dishes always look delectable.

So great always...love everything about this channel Vic. Mostly I love the family reviews. Such good people enjoying family time over great food. Always remember the reason that you have almost 600 thousand subs is the PEOPLE not the fish. Keep um coming guys you bring more joy than you could ever know.

It blows me away to see this. Most of my fish keeping life I've had Oscar's. They are by far my favorite cichlids. Do they taste good?

Florida has so many options. It is like a sportsman's paradise.

Killer day of fishing, gents! Thanks for demoing the Dextreme filet knife. That design exactly what I need! I've been using two knifes for that purpose. Monster fish sandwiches!! Great video all the way around. Good times with your friends and family.
