Welcome in to the latest episode of the Birds Huddle podcast.

Mike Mulhern here with Barrett Brooks.

Man, fresh off a little vacation, a little reset, a little relaxing, little fishing.

How to go down there?

You're down in the outer banks.

I mean, I'm going to tell you the truth.

I went tuna fishing, but caught no tuna. But I still had a blast. Had a great captain. Went out and, you know, we started out, you know, in the outer banks. We're in the outer banks, you know, same place, you know, where you see all those wicked tuna and all those guys. We're out there looking for tuna. No more, there's no

tuna to be found. I mean, I think there's only one boat that caught tuna fish the entire week that I was there. So it was just bad, caramel, bad, whatever, you know. But I'll tell you what, the captain took us in a little further in, you know, because the water we're looking for the tuna, even though we're fishing for up top, It's like 1,200 feet deep, 1,200, 1,1, 1 feet deep, you know. But we went in a little further in, like 300 feet, you know, a little closer to land. And then we start tile fishing. That was some great fish in there. Even though we had to reel it up, when we were an electric reel, reeled up like three or four feet. It was just great because we had three hooks on.

We catch three fish four hundred feet. It was just great because we had three hooks on.

We catch three fish at a time. Got some sea bass, sea bass looking like that, almost 21 inches long. It was crazy. So I had a phenomenal time. I got rained out once on one trip, I was able to get out on my second trip.

It was just a great time, man.

No tuna, but I'll tell you what, the fish that I caught blazing in that skillet, man. Blazing in that grease, man. Put some cornmeal on that. Oh, my goodness. Man, towelfish, it tastes just like lobster because that's what they eat. Lobster and crabs. It tastes amazing. Caught a couple of Mahi, too. We did kiss on a

fact, a friend of mine, you know, on a boat caught a Mahi. That joker had to be about, no lie, just no lie. Probably about four and a half, almost five feet long, man. The biggest bull I've ever seen is for Mahi mahi mahi, a dolphin fish, whatever you want to call it. It was amazing, man. Just an amazing trip. All right, this is now a fishing podcast.

I don't know if you guys know that.

But yeah, that's awesome.

Me. dolphin fish, whatever you want to call it. It was amazing, man. Just an amazing trip. All right, this is now a fishing podcast.

I don't know if you guys know that.

But yeah, that's awesome.

Me, I don't really have the patience for fishing. You're like, give me and give me out. I'll go on a boat. Boat have a good time. A little cruise. That sounds like fun, but not really for the fishing. but I don't know if you know you're not the most famous Philly athlete that was out there fishing.

That's all Ben Simmons won a, one like a Marlin catching competition. But I don't know if you know you're not the most famous Philly athlete that was out there fishing.

That's all Ben Simmons won like a Marlin catching competition down in Florida. So you might have to give him a run for his money. Yeah, we'll see what happens. But see I fish, you know, they probably, you know, with him, as soon as he hooked the fish, you probably know, no, you guys take it. You know, I don't want to shoot this shot. You got to shoot the shot.

You know what I'm saying?
