It's interesting that AJ is beloved in the gulf. East Coasters definitely turn their nose up to them - so I haven't given it a fair shake. But when I was in Destin, AJ was on every menu.
We caught a 30" AJ last Sunday and Dave kept it for the smoker. Then on the filet table it had worms in the tail - and this was just a small one. I passed on the AJ and just kept grouper, flounder and sheep.
I think East Coast AJs have worms, while Gulf AJs don't.
The footage is cool, I agree. I would love to dive the rigs someday. So much marine life. I wish we had them off the East Coast - for several reasons.
