3 HOURS of Catch and Cooks - Shark, Turtle, Crawfish, Trout n' More!

what's going on guys welcome to the mountains in the fall about to do some trout fishing folks i have found a brand new spot to fish here a local told me about this i was at a farmer's market which i've been going to the farmers market very frequently uh these days making some friends there and uh this lady who loves to fish said you know where you should go you should come up to this bridge here all this is this little creek and this bridge crosses it and she said this is one of her favorite spots to fish so i have driven up here on this drizzly morning to try it out love fishing brand new spots but i am starving i left the house without any breakfast it was a little bit of a drive to get here um so i'm gonna make some breakfast and then we'll start fishing and after that who knows yeah i was going to use my little mini ketchup cook set up but actually i'm going to break out the griddle here check that out so i got yes this is good i'm glad i brought this [Music] all right my friends after a delicious and sumptuous breakfast come down here at first glance i don't see any trout but a lot of times the fish if they're smart they hide out in the actual like dark shade of the bridge so guys i see a crawfish down here see crap let me see if i can catch him with a lure sometimes they'll buy the lure especially if that's scent on it let's see he got it he got my lure can i pull him up yes i got in a crawfish first catch of the day folks check out how similar that color is so the color of that tube is called crawfish and look how they look exactly the like at least on the top not on the back but on the top there that is crazy all right set him right there he still hasn't let go of it i need my crawfish bag i see it right there i'll tell you what folks i have this little dive bag here a lot of you guys been asking about it and it is so great look he's still he's just trying to take off with it he still hasn't let it go hey um a dive bag is fantastic because you can put crawdads in it or trout so it's better than a stringer look at he still is not letting it go let go come on come on look at him he refuses there gonna tear your arm off man all right first catch of the day i'm gonna see if i can find any more down there guys i see a nice trout hanging out right under here but he doesn't seem to be very interested in my tube so this crawfish is just a little on the small side to eat i mean he's he's definitely edible but he's a little on the small side so what i'm gonna do is uh we're gonna use him as bait to try to catch that nice trout i'm gonna kill him real quick there we go twist off the tail there we go and i have that little chunk of meat there and the real not only is it real but one of the things about using crawfish is the smell and you can even smell them on your hands and i've actually seen it before where a trout was swimming along the bottom he wasn't interested in anything i was throwing but i put a piece of crawdad on upstream of him and immediately he started to go sniff around for it and seek it out oh i see the trail there are two of them two nice ones two nice ones folks i mean nice for a creek this small oh they smelled it but they swam away seeing these clear creeks these trout can be real tricky sometimes guys a crawfish has grabbed it the crawfish has grabbed the bait the trout were looking at it and the trout's looking at the crawfish guys i just caught another crawfish on a piece of crawfish and this is an even bigger one that is crazy this is a bacon right here this is definitely an eater size that is so funny like he came out of the rocks to grab a chunk of his friend there this is so crazy i see the cr the trout down they're looking at the bait they're definitely interested they're they're kind of swimming all around but it drifts to the bottom and out pops this crawfish and he grabs it instead oh now i have a leaf this is funny folks i see another crawfish over there this has turned the trout won't bite so i'm just sitting here fishing for crawdads instead he's got it he's got i gotta let him take it a second so you gotta get those crawfish they get a taste of their friend and uh it's so delicious that they can't let go okay so he's had a good enough taste now i just carefully reel him in oh he's swimming a little bit he's swimming he's on the top now it's on the top can i like here comes the lift and the lift is successful whoa that's a big gun that is another eater right there well the trout refused to bite but we're catching some hefty crawdads here that is a thick crawfish right there folks that is a good trade-off to use a tiny one for one that big all there we right two big ones here's something you probably didn't know crawfish love bacon why because they're smart they know what's good cut them out cut it in about half here that should be a big enough piece i want a big enough piece here so it gets the cross attention like that and let's lower that down to the bottom see how many we can get to come out all right hopefully no real fishermen come along here and see me doing this they're gonna think i'm crazy so i have an underwater camera down there let's throw it down [Laughter] yeah he can't resist the bacon he's like me he just can't resist the bacon boom we got a first crawfish on bacon folks even as i'm taking him back to the truck he still keeps eating on it he's suspended in the air he's not even in his environment and he's still chowing down there i can see one coming out the bacon's not even there he's he's just looking for it still let's drop the bacon on top of him [Music] [Music] i got him [Music] another one [Music] i don't know why i'm not just having the red bag right by me we're just gonna load it up load it up these fish are straight up wanting it too [Music] you [Music] so [Music] [Music] oh one of them dropped off darn it the lift no i only got one shoot during it yeah there's still a bunch down there let's try i'm gonna try again i need to get like a double kill or a triple kill here is this is is i think it's a triple the lift can i get triples i got triples whoa look at that guys triple crawdad right there all of them so greedy look he still has it in his mouth that is so cool all three of them are keepers too wow this is so fun i didn't know i would come out here and do this that's why you just got to get out folks you never know what's going to happen oh man he's feisty these are all really nice crawdads but you know it makes sense in these little trout streams you're not exactly going to have they don't have any enemies i mean there's nothing in here big enough to mess with crawfish that size so as soon as they get past you know say an inch and a half or two they're pretty much safe from any trout that lives in here it is a beautiful fall day out here by the way wow [Music] so [Music] i there might be three there might be this might be triples again [Music] there are three on it did i i got three more look at that that is so cool who cares about trout fish and this is this is really fun well my friends i fished this bridge every way i knew how um just all through this area and i i cannot catch a single trout in here but the crawfishing is excellent so i think i'm just going to be content for some crawdads here and i'm going to cook them up in a way i've never done before all right so i set my little grill back up here and let's light it up there we go set the deep pan right there i didn't eat all the bacon i had from breakfast so we put that off first while i'm waiting for that to cook i'm gonna come over and check my fishing line again let's see here oh wow i don't even see the bacon where did the bacon go it's under folks it's under the bridge oh there are two of them on it two more can i get doubles oh yeah doubles oh that's a big one oh wow there is a i mean of all of them i've been catching have been pretty nice but this guy here nice got some big claws look at those big meaty claws there man wow cool good grief look how guys i don't think i've ever seen a crawdad with claws that long before i know i have and look how they're hooked at the end those are some vicious looking like this guy right here is normal like that's what you normally see what is with this guy's got some mitts man i wonder what causes that like why his claws are as long as his body basically so back to the cooking got my bacon here that's looking good enough oh man i love bacon you see all that grease in the bottom folks that's staying some of you know where this is going so i have here a whole cup of butter and i was going to show you guys something really cool today that colonial people used to do with butter and fish i don't have any fish obviously so i'm switching plans here and uh i'll save that for another day i'll save the the cool trick that colonial people used to do and instead we're gonna boil the crawfish in bacon grease and butter so i have a whole cup of butter here just melting it down slowly and mixed with bacon grease these are going to be the best crawfish i've ever had yes i am already trowing down on the bacon so i was debating whether or not to add anything to the butter and the bacon grease but i think if the crawdads are boiled in that there's no reason to add like a bunch of seasonings or anything and here is the mango one going oh there he is he has one in his claw but [Applause] [Applause] i don't see why these aren't going to just like taste phenomenal oh wow the smell is just delicious look that crowded is splitting open at the back that's a sign that they're done perfect all of them it's kind of splitting in the back there some it's obvious and some it's not but like this one's real obvious to see how it's like separating there that's oh this is exciting so as i'm removing the last few crawfish here i'm wondering what should i do with this leftover butter and i'm not sure what i'm going to do with it but i'm definitely not going to throw it out i'm going to take i'm going to turn the heat off and take this home for something this has to be used for something else i think this might be the best plate of crawfish i've ever made have to taste test it because you never know never know with crawdads so your prayer real quick what a phenomenal day even though the trout fishing was nothing it was still super fun that's why you just have to keep coming out all right so as i pull it apart you know what butter is getting everywhere i feel like i said suck on the crawfish first because the outsides of the outside of course is coated yeah you know i took the whole the whole tail in my mouth before i even start going otherwise butter is going to drip down wow that is good that is seriously good who needs a zadaran's crap oops shouldn't have said that well i do like the zadaran's crawdad boils i do i really do but these i mean give them a butter bath soaks right in wow and the bacon is very fine i'm so glad that i found this little spot on this beautiful fall day look at this all the trees are changing it's so fun out here well guys thank you so much for hanging out hope you enjoyed this little adventure here make sure to subscribe if you're new i'll catch you guys in the next one [Music] incredible wow what is going on guys welcome to another trout fishing adventure in the mountains at this creek um i've been here this is the second time and i discovered the first time i came here first time to discover this there are crawfish in here and tons of rainbow trout so i've decided to return and uh just gonna fish and forge around let's see what happens so check it out i've got all of these mini trout tubes with me and by the time you guys are watching this the ace videos trout tube tackle box should be out i'll put a link to it in the description started out like 10 bags of these and i narrowed it down to my five or six of my favorites here and so i got those and i got worms though as back up too just in case i don't know maybe the fishing's really really tough or something but these tubes should do well the first color i'm starting off with is called crawfish just a nice plain kind of a dark mocha colored little mini tube there an inch and a half so let's try that also have these other colors here we're going to try we're going to get some crazy ones like happy meal i love happy meal caught a lot of trout on that one and this is scud missile anyway i'll show all them in a second let's cast in this little uh this little creek right here this little hole right up here i just have this little mini fishing rod today this is actually an ice fishing reel and i put some four pound test on it i do not like ice fishing um i've been only been twice before and so i thought you know what i bought this reel the reel is solid i'm gonna use it as a tiny like creek fishing rod here and i this rod is only five foot long it breaks down and uh so yeah this is my setup for the day oh wait you know i was about to take first cast i almost forgot something really important here got here some dry creek outfitters trophy bass gel scent i know it says bass gel set but it's great for trout too i'm going to put a little bit of that on the tube when you go to order my ace videos tackle box this will actually be linked right beside it so all right let's go let's go starting to rain again it's kind of been a rainy drizzly day all right first cast of the day folks so i'm just going to follow this thing up and just kind of fish all these little waterfalls all right guys i want to fish that waterfall so my plan is to sneak up though and drop my line in at just the right spot got him got him guys got it oh yes look at that that's what i'm talking about first fish of the day and that is a keeper for sure that's a nice size for this creek oh yes yes yes oh he swallowed it too or it's in his gill actually so we're definitely keeping this one and guys on that uh hare's ear was the color that that trout wanted nice gonna bonk him real quick look at that folks that is what i'm talking about and to catch like a probably a nine or probably 10 incher in a creek like this that's a good eating size sweet alright ladies and gentlemen using the same tube because you know that once you catch one fish on it it gives it a nice fishy flavor that other fish will like so got him yes right in that waterfall very very cool i didn't i think i had this one on for a while and i didn't even know it because he swallowed it they're slacking my line and i was like why is there slack oh man folks they are loving this tube right now let's bond cam real quick how beautiful are these wild mountain trout here caught them on hare's ear what a dynamite color i've got a lot of trout snacks in here and a snack for me i'm hungry already i'll be excited when i get to cook up some trout and i'm gonna try to catch some crawfish all right guys so i caught a couple out of this little run here but i look up above and there's a nice pool right there i'm gonna walk around see if i can get to that oh missed him missed him dang it he had he was swimming upstream with it got him yes i buy that waterfall another rainbow and another like decent one too there are a lot of like really tiny like four inch trout in here i can see them but maybe it's using the tube or something might be because i'm using a tube that i'm getting a little bit bigger ones sweet all right my friends there we go you know what guys i'm gonna let's i'm gonna let this one go i'll let this one go here um i think he went down the waterfall oh well all right got him oh did you see that jump oh that is cool look at this guy look at him jumping nice oh man that is another keeper right there i've got my three fish that i want folks to keep so i like to keep ones that are in the mid-range um and this one's about 11 inches or so and so if i was to catch like a 14 or 15 incher which would be huge for this creek i wouldn't keep it because it's kind of like a trophy one and then of course you don't want to eat really small ones but catching nice medium-sized ones like this is perfect because they're one guy described it i think it was uncut angling is that think of a pyramid where you have only a few giant fish at the top a bunch of medium fish in the middle and tons of little fish that you don't want to keep anyway so that's the idea some people asked me about that why i keep medium-sized ones and let the biggest fish of the day go and that's why especially at these creeks here where you know they don't exactly resupply that easily i don't think but i don't know maybe in these mountains they don't get disturbed very much onward and upward my friends i every pool looks good but i have to kind of be choosy check out this little run here folks this should have a fish in it oh yeah oh yeah yeah right here i like it i like it oops not a good kid all right here we go got him oh a little micro trout oh that is cool though right in that spot oh there he goes there he goes right in that spot though i wonder if i'm gonna get any other kind of trout like a brown trout or a brook trout up here so far all i've got is rainbows in this creek which i'm not complaining at all i just find that interesting because i know there are a lot of other species around here check it out a little little salamander that's cool careful bro your trout bait that size trout will eat you up there you go okay i'm trying to he's trying to burrow down in like the moss oh he is burrowing down oh that's cool that's really cool further up and further in wow at every turn they're just more beautiful waterfalls and pools i see trout swim around in there you know i'm gonna pause though on the trout fishing and um catch some crawfish way i'm going to catch these crawfish is take these trout and i'm going to gut them when i cook i cook them whole and so all i need is the guts out cut them straight up the middle like so oh dang this is a female shoot oh well that happens there we go now let's put this under water [Music] [Music] around [Music] wow me [Music] uh [Music] [Music] [Music] me [Music] i'm not gone for five minutes and already like everything is gone oh wait i see him over here he's dragging it he's almost to his lair i gotta get it before he goes in he's almost to his lair [Music] haha that is crazy i can't believe i found my spatula it stayed here stayed in the water since last week when i was here didn't wash away and this crowd again refuses refuses to drop the guts all right set my spatula there that is super cool and oh wow okay first i thought one got it guys check it out check it out got a big one here big one whoa whoa i thought this was a good size check that monster out because he came up he smelled the trout see because my trout are in this bag and he must have oh my goodness oh this is so cool all right stick them in there that is crazy biggest one of the day for sure must have come out of that deep pool right there this is this is so much fun this is what i love to do this is my favorite saturday right here a bunch of trout and crawfish in there oh wow it's kind of a little cave area back here you know could we find a cave that would be really nice because it's getting a little drizzly out here oh i see the river came through here this spring that's why all the stuff laid down oh oh my goodness folks i have a cave look at this this is cool i can it's not exactly a cave actually that's an exaggeration but i can sit under this and be out of the rain i can like cook under here nice everything's covered in moss so it's pretty sweet look at this all these big rocks and stuff i like it i like it a lot i'm completely out of the rain here let's cook folks i found that cave in the nick of time because the rain just started to really come down i'm glad i brought my rain stuff too where i would have been hurting i'm gonna hang the fish and crawfish right there so they don't get any dirt on them folks this is why you gotta get out you just gotta start exploring because you never know what you're gonna find or do at the start of the day i had no idea that i would be cooking up under this little rock here in the rain wasn't even raining when i first got out here so how cool little backpackers set up here i have all this stuff for making coffee and i almost never do i need to do that especially on these cold days the pot and check it out about everything for a miniature crawfish boil a couple of ears of corn there some young potatoes or no not young potatoes new potatoes new potatoes right there a little miniature one so they cook up fast well the first thing i have to do is get water to boil let's go back down to the creek that should be good all righty here we go corn is one of my favorite vegetables this one is so sweet you need it raw and i think it's called honeysuckle honey cream something hot water is ballin first thing i'm gonna do is add this is a mixture of salt pepper and add plenty of that to it there we go and then i've got here slap your mama seasoning got this from a trip texas texas trip i think and um i'm gonna just add a whole bunch of that to the water there make this water louisiana style where they just they just put it in tons of seasoning and of course it gets in your throat then some zatarans shrimp and crab boil make it a little spicy just like so and while that's heating back up i'm actually going to add the miniature with the new potatoes in there first since those need the longest to cook what else i forgot here folks almost forgot it i got ramen noodles i'm gonna throw some noodles in the crawfish boil crunchy ramen noodles are good too i'm eating everything before i even cook it all right potatoes been cooking for a little while probably about 10 minutes or so all right so they poke moderately well still not cooked all the way here's my almost eaten corn here throw him in there and him now here's the question to add another one i don't know if i have enough room hmm you know what if it overflows it is going to overflow dang it maybe i just eat this raw that might be what i do all right crawfish going in hot actually they're going in cold it'll soon be hot i got some nice crawfish today i cannot believe how big they are in this creek and in fact here's the piece of resistance look he's taking a trout with him he loves the trout what the heck dude like come on there you go forcing down in the hot water there he'll let go just stir it all around there let me see how my tater look oh yeah look i just split apart oh that is so perfect excellent and i'm getting a little better at these crawfish boils every single time everything is coming out even all right it is now finally time for the we're trout put these in and then let them cook for just like a minute or two the very last thing will be the ramen noodles i'm running out of room it's a huge crawfish boil maybe i should have split it up into two parts nah just tamp it down everything's good boom i don't think there's any room for the ramen noodles okay i break these raw noodles sideways kind of break them up a bit i can barely fit some in here one more chunk come on because these will collapse if i can fit them in there without overflowing this there we go they'll all cook down somehow all right my friends it's been several minutes looking good looking extra good look at papa crawfish here good knit that is a monstro right there let's see here i know the ramen noodles are done the trout done come on trout please tell me you're done oh yeah yep coming away perfect you know what i'm going to do i'm just going to eat it right out of the pot here now i'm just going to eat this big this whole big crawfish boil straight out of here let's say a prayer what a blessed day out here at first i'm trying some ramen noodles folks that doesn't work since ramen noodles absorb whatever they're in they absorb a lot of it and they absorb a ton of the seasoning and they're just over seasoned i should have just eaten them raw the potato looks good though that's a little better draining it off papa crawfish is delicious and despite like look how big those claws are but they're so like slender they're not the big fat claws these crawfish from this river are so tasty i know that from previous experience when you catch them out of a clear stream you don't even need to purge them or nothing they are good just like that and boiled trout is seriously really good wow that was tasty i don't realize how hungry i was until i started cooking maybe eating all that uh raw corn it'd be interesting to see how good it is when i'm not hungry guys what a fun trip by the time this video is done the new ace videos trout tube box should be we should have a bunch of them packed and ready to ship to you guys check out the link in the description and uh yeah as you guys can see they're super effective for trout i hope you guys can catch a lot of fish on them check them out below but thank you guys so much for hanging out hope you enjoyed and i'll see in the next adventure this is a turtle trap will it catch any turtles i guess we'll have to find out in case you couldn't tell i made this myself first i took some wire fencing put it in the cylinder and attached it with zip ties then i took a fishing net cut a hole in the bottom of it and used it as the entrance and as you can see the turtles can crawl right inside and grab the bait that will be at the very back of this trap now all i have to do is take it down to the river and set it put some trail cameras on it let's see if it works so for my bait choice i decided to go with chicken i read online that chicken is one of the best turtle baits and we all know you can trust everything you read online so i had it suspended in the middle of the trap there on a wire got it all situated and then walked away because i knew that later on the river was going to come up in fact you can see how the trap is out of the water at the moment or mostly out of the water because this river fluctuates so much i have to leave part of the trap above the water otherwise you can drown the turtles that are trapped in there so you can see for the first few hours it was out of the water but then later on in the afternoon the water came up [Music] ladies and gentlemen i don't know if you can tell but this is a monster snapping turtle i mean this guy is huge i'm comparing them with my trap and i know the dimensions of my trap and i'm looking at the head and comparing it to that and going this thing is massive i'm not sure if it's going to be able to get in there and you can see him popping up all around it i mean he's casing the joint but it's a matter of can he get his fat butt in there [Music] and then this was later in the night i was worried that this might happen leaving bait out on the shore like this this raccoon wants to get in there and at this point i do not think the turtle is in there otherwise he would have eaten all the bait and the raccoon would have been interested and he probably would have been scared of that monster turtle but he's trying to figure out how to get in there fortunately the mouth of the trap was still in the water and apparently this raccoon is didn't like the water so he did not get in the trap or figure out a way to get in they're pretty smart they can usually do that but then later on in the night check this out a massive beaver strolls by gets tangled up in the line i have this line attached to a tree so the trap doesn't float down river and he's gonna snap it [Music] no he gets through look how big this thing is good knit [Music] oh got him god guys look what i just caught i just caught a huge turtle by hand are you kidding me big snapper whoa whoa did you see that this guy is quick this guy is quick holy mackerel what a beast i was going to check my turtle trap and i found him yes okay well while i'm here i'm gonna check the turtle trap all right checking my all right my turtle trap has nothing in it but i got this big guy whoa gotta be super careful here all right no no you don't no you don't holy mackerel all right i need a bucket or something to put him in i don't know what to do here um oh he's see he seems kind of lethargic like most turtles do but check that out he ain't he ain't at all let's see here wow okay so he can move when he wants to he can flat out move when he wants you know what we're gonna do folks this is way different than what i thought i was gonna do okay i came out here this evening to check my turtle trap yeah see i had my turtle trap out on this side i'm gonna flip it up here let's see if he'd even fit in huh definitely a keeper yeah see he wouldn't have been able to even get in my trap okay well maybe he would have he had to barely squeeze through the door there oh wow that's a heavy dude we're gonna take this thing back home what's up guys it is a couple of days later since i caught the turtle what happened is i caught the turtle late at night it was basically chaos because i had to figure out what i was going to keep them in and i had to transport them back home it was just a big hairy mess i also had to research to make sure i i had to learn what to do to process a turtle and then how to cook a turtle i even called kendall gray i was like man i had this big snapping turtle is it good um uh yeah i knew people ate him but i was wondering if it was truly good he was like yeah it's delicious if there's anybody who would know about what weird animals are good to eat he would he's he's kept he's caught and cooked skunks before so has a lot of experience with snapping turtles gave me some tips and i actually have the turtle here in this cooler first thing i want to do though is i want to weigh this thing and i want to test the biting the biting action on this dude all right i've got to be real careful with these i was so surprised at how quickly like quickly it's like a snake you know what i'm gonna do first folks i'm we're gonna we're gonna weigh him where's he how much oh look at him gearing up to bite mouth open we're gonna weigh him 30. a little over 32 pounds it says um a little over 32 pounds let's pretend the bucket weighs half a pound so like 31.5 pound turtle that's actually that's a good size one i think um i read did read online the other night though that these do get up to like 60 pounds so imagine one that's like double this size let's dump them out here this is so cool i've you know to a lot of people in the south like snapping turtles are just calming and and all over really the midwest and stuff but we don't have these in idaho and i've never caught one before so i think it's i think it's really really cool i am going to measure the shell length make sure it's a legal one he has to be 12 inches just like a bass how about that the shell has to be 12 inches and the shell is 50 oh just a shade just a shade under 15 inches almost a 15 inch long turtle so it is a keeper i do not think this is the giant one that i have seen coming around the trap and in fact i don't know this but let's pretend that turtles were like fish and the female gets way bigger than the male this might be like a male snapping turtle and there's like a you know 18 20 inch long shell female snapping turtle still hanging out there i don't know that's just just pure guess all right so i've got a couple things here all right first item on the list is a hot dog come on look he's retracting his head almost like he's gonna come out and strike you know i don't know how long their their necks are so i better not be holding this i'll be right back all right i'm back let's see here oh what do you got huh what do you got no okay interesting i think he knows it's fake he's like that's not your hand [Music] hello i'm gonna annoy you tickle him on the head tickle him under the chin oh goodness we go well there's the carrot if you like to eat carrots i think turtles do let's try one more thing here all right folks now we come to the part that nobody likes not even i like this part it has to be done i don't mind cleaning things but it's the dispatching of them that i don't like so i've got here an axe i'm going to do is flip him over on his back hey ho look at he can kind of you see him kind of jump there he can jump when he wants that's crazy he wasn't this active earlier he said i put him back in the water for a minute and he's had a chance to get angry all right whoa flipped himself right back over i'm gonna have to pin him down a little turtle wrestling nope let's see hmm look at that look at his foot grabbing his foot is grabbing my that is nuts see i have no experience with these so i don't know what to expect i kind of thought he'd flip over on his back and just be like oh all right so the way i've seen actually people in like every video i've ever seen is they actually just shoot him with a gun look he will he refuses to flip over yeah that's gonna be hard that's gonna be hard i'm gonna have to get a gun [Music] all right guys the head is off and i saw one guy in a video he actually put a hose inside of it um inside the turtle oh yeah he said it'll fill it up like it's a balloon and then the water comes out and apparently what that's supposed to do is just help oh he's still still moving that's creepy anyway that's supposed to help just get the blood out and all that stuff so and do that here there we go and the point of all of that is to basically make it where it's not quite so messy uh when i'm as i'm skinning them all right there we go hung him to the tree there using vice grips he's still moving which is kind of creepy but uh yeah let's hang him upside down here that'll make it easier to clean that's all hunters do i'm not much of a hunter only hunt only hunted a few times ever whenever i see people cleaning game they always hang it up like this to make it easier and apparently the skin on this dude is really tough and uh so this will be interesting first time doing this gotta start somewhere all right my friends after getting some advice from the kentucky legend um he said it's tough it's a grind to to skin out one of these but he said it's worth it seven different kinds of meats in them and uh here we go kendall gray said this would be a grind and he is right so i've pulled like the skin off one of the legs here and basically i see how this process is working at least for me inside i'm gonna do it i'm just gonna cut nice chunks off i'm just gonna make turtle nuggets so we got like a chunk right there we'll set it in the ice and then come down here and i'm just gonna be like cutting away all of these it's like in strands and there's so much like sinewy there's just so much sinew in there and i know you know you don't want to eat that stuff but like there's a nice little nugget right there and just throw it on the ice and that's how i'm doing i'm just gonna do this whole thing folks this is gonna take me like an hour to to do this turtle now i'm no turtle expert but i think we found the male i think the big female is out there somewhere i'm actually glad i caught the male because i wouldn't eat the big female actually um so yeah this is good just about done here ladies and gentlemen just a few more neck pieces and kind of some pieces against the shell here but it is getting dark out won't be right there grab the bee um but it is it took me every bit of two hours to do this thing maybe even more i did break for for a little dinner came back to it but i was steadily working on this thing for like two hours and i've got this huge this pan is filled up with turtle meat there so not too bad but i'm definitely gonna have to cook tomorrow so i'll see you guys then all right guys i wanted to show y'all something real quick before we get to the cooking um i came out here just to see what happened to the turtle shell and look at this so it was just laying like right here it got dragged over to here in the middle of the night and there's a little turtle sitting in his shell eating him along with all of the bugs and stuff too there's something kind of weird about that pretty much everything out here is a cannibal and the next step is to pick some fresh ingredients from my garden ladies and gentlemen i present to you well this isn't my garden it's part of the garden we've got watermelon on that side i actually have another tomato plant over there and uh but these things here we are going to pick a few this tomato is this tomato plants growing directly in the ground i'm basically doing experimenting because this is my first year living in the south and i wasn't sure how things would do in pots how much sun they needed so it's a cloudy day right now but i figured this side of the house the brick wall the tomatoes would grow real well and i also left some stuff though in the pots in case i needed to move them around all that jazz but we have some lovely tomatoes growing here i think i want some fresh mater that one is looking absolutely perfect all right and coming over to the peppers cool i think these are habanero these are jalapeno and we got tomato oh i almost forgot um i've been picking the heck out of the cilantro so there are only a few sprigs left but let's pick some of this here there we go folks it is so fun to catch and cook your own food but now to be growing food i mean i am in hog heaven this is so cool i mean i don't have a big garden at all i just wanted to plant just a couple of things just to try it and uh it is very gratifying all right ladies and gentlemen time to start cooking turtle this is the first time i've ever cooked or even eaten turtle i've never eaten turtle before but i do have to say i have a pretty little fancy setup here so i've got my garden fresh vegetables very proud of those i know it's not much but i just i got the urge this spring to plant a few things so it's really cool it's so satisfying to catch my own food and then be able to grow it i don't know i just i love it makes me smile actually to think about it then i was at the local farmer's market and look at that i had never seen this until the other day and these are some sort of bean in fact i asked the woman i said what are those and she told me like wicked beans or something like that i forgot what the actual name was but she said they're just real mild so apparently you just like oh i thought they oh yeah they do break okay so you just see let's see where's the bean i've never even seen these never cooked with them either you see how it's just like little beans inside she said they're very mild not much flavor they just take on whatever flavor you add to them so i guess for these i'm just going to cut the tips off kind of like a regular bean and then cut them like that and one of my own peppers super happy with this yeah this is going to be a little spicy i already know for a fact that these i think these are habaneros are pretty spicy so we're just gonna put a couple of those in there just for some color just kind of use my fillet knife for everything but we're gonna cut up the cilantro here a little carrot a little cucumber an excellent little pile of vegetables now let's get to the breading i know from experience that this cajun fish fry spicy recipe is extremely spicy at least to me extremely it's not you know it's not like ghost pepper spicy but it's good and spicy so what i've learned to do is dilute it with some like regular fish fry so we're gonna go half and half on these bad boys i mean if you're a spicy freak you'll love this stuff but i'm kind of a medium spice person i'm going to add some salt and pepper to it so you can see there's a variety of meat here so i have some chunks like this this still has the bone in it and i could like fry this up like a piece of chicken and then we have um like this this is just like a random chunk right here most of it's just like chunks like that like that's perfect i'm gonna roll these around buttermilk hey you uh miss piggy's come around she smelled turtle hey you want to try some turtle huh yeah you want to try some turtle i'll take that as a yes what she has her food bowl there but she's kind of moody she just are you gonna eat something you know what try this okay what do you think hey miss piggy look turtle what do you think hey you andre little look at that turtle i guess not i knew she would do that she's just that's just the way she is she'll eat i'll give her stuff but she'll only eat it when i have my back turned throw that in there i'm gonna save this like pure white piece they said seven different meats on turtle that's almost chicken-like i'm gonna save that for the stir-fry all right so we'll let that soak i'll come over to the grill here and i'm going to have the stir fry at a low heat right here and then you see got some oil in a pan right there fire up the grill always like that part what i'm gonna do folks is even though on this grilling side take this cast iron pan see if the cast iron pan doesn't have any like rubber handle now i can just close this if i want but i'm gonna cook the i'm just gonna call it turtle stir fry even though i'm not going for an actual like asian like taste necessarily um but anyway i'm gonna cook the turtle stir fry right here so i'm gonna add some sesame oil it kind of covers the bottom of the pan then add some vegetables when i first caught the turtle i showed my mom and she told me an interesting story she said when she was a little girl when she used to live in florida people would catch sea turtles and eat them and that was just normal she and her friends would go out on like a street corner on like fridays or whatever when the trash came people would leave the sea turtle shells with all the guts and stuff in them on the curb for the trash man to pick up and you know everybody late sea turtle just did that that was totally normal which i thought that was kind of funny because i feel like if you tried to catch and cook a sea turtle these days you'd have so many people it would just the video would go viral and not because people loved it but not long ago it was the normal thing to do in florida next i'll bread up my nuggets here oh look at that turtle nuggets coming to mcdonald's soon turtle nugget going in guys i'm going to start a new company you know chick-fil-a i'm going to start turtle fillet get your 10-piece turtle nuggets or your 12-piece turtle nuggets not that hungry get the six piece and while the turtle nuggets are going so well i'm gonna add a splash of soy sauce to these vegetables all right so i had to quickly stir in some meat into the vegetables it's all turning out pretty good the stir-fry is not looking too bad huh it's interesting how dark they turned but not not burnt just like the weird dark color i don't know if that's the breading i don't think that's the red inks i've used this breading many times before look at that i think it's just the dark meat of the turtle made like the breading this kind of just brown funky brown color it's weird there we go one two three four five this is the the seven count turtle nuggets you can get this for uh 2.99 i'm gonna take just a little piece of raw turtle and just drop it in there and we're just gonna fry that up with no spicy breading on it to see if miss piggy will eat some see mrs piggy hey look oh where are you going oh she's off she's so moody all the time all right i'm gonna try another turtle nuggets while waiting for the rest of stuff to finish here say a quick prayer i'm going to need it okay here we go my first impression of these just based on like grabbing the nugget these are chewy but let's see i'm gonna write these on a scale of one to ten okay so first thing is turtle is a little chewy okay it's not like a chicken that just falls apart what does it taste like i'm trying to pick up something to tell you guys like something that tastes like hey miss piggy i know you're relaxing yeah but i have a piece of turtle here i want you to try okay give that a go huh yeah no that's [Music] well never mind watch i'm gonna leave this and walk away and she'll come back in like an hour and gobble it up okay so after sampling both of these one of the things i noticed right off the bat is that the turtle kind of darkens whatever it touches whether it's the breading of this or the vegetables here that's kind of interesting it's almost has a dying effect on whatever it touches but i had a few questions going into this when i first caught the turtle and the first one was on a scale of one to ten how good does this turtle taste and yes it is a little spicy so i'm dipping it in some ranch and you're on a scale of one to ten one being carp ten being um walleye or perch i'll just keep it to fresh water i would say that the turtle falls at about a six and a half and the reason why i choose six and a half is because the flavor is really good but the chewiness is a real detractor i would give it an eight all day if it wasn't so chewy i mean you're just kind of sitting here going for a long time trying to break it down the second question was i was wondering which one of these would be better and i'd definitely say fried is better even though i love these vegetables by the way the weird little beans they are delicious but man i love stir fry but turtle doesn't belong in a stir fry because it's too darn tough and then the final question i had was would it be was it going to be worth it um after that is yes it is a lot of work to clean took me two hours over two hours to clean that sucker i'm sure you get faster as time goes on but here's the thing you get like i get for i'll say this for me personally 31 pound turtle i'll bet i got 10 pounds of meat off that sucker and that's what the heavy shell and bones and all that there is a ton of meat on a snapping turtle so i bet i got a hundred nuggets off that thing so i would say if somebody's like would you do that again no absolutely there are some fish and stuff i do not eat again but definitely catch and cook another turtle so there it is guys there is my conclusion that's a really fun experience i'm glad i did this if you guys have snappy turtles in your backyard and you want to try catching cooking one up i would definitely try it so it's fun thank you guys so much for hanging out hope you guys enjoyed and i'll see you in the next one oh there we go nice there we go there we go fish on pick this what is going on guys welcome to a rainy version

so i guess i'll just start what it dude get away b or do what you're gonna do like if you want some meat go for it there look at this it's so thick seriously oh look his cousin came in for some revenge we have a lot of bees we got little cutter bees coming in all over the place here coming in hot dude if we'd have kept all three of those fish we could have fed the town's [Music] [Applause] good look at that look at that my heavens and we bled them out the guide mr phil let him out yeah [Music] [Applause] [Music] folks voila look at the size of that meat good grief dude oh like all we have to do really is just be like like whoop yeah it's like and we could sell that little strip right there that you just cut for about 10 bucks we should go into business we should go to business fresh striper yeah i guess you have to cut that bloodline out too they say oh indeed yeah you definitely everywhere the bloodline everybody's all about getting rid of the brother i don't mind my fish taste a little fishy myself but but that's what all the cool kids do so look at that just gorgeous well done well done thank you all right my friends so in past videos i have cooked striper on the grill and it has turned out beautifully then i've experimented with other ways of cooking them deep frying them and searing them and all these other things some off-camera some were members only videos um and the best way by far is just to simply grill them and so i've got the fillets out right here and all i'm going to do add some olive oil to them and a seasoning of my choice it's really that simple that's all they need this fish is so tasty all by itself i'm like bob ross just gently painting my fish next i'm going to add some seasonings and add a little salt to each filet just a sprinkling then to half these i'm going to add my ace videos first cast seasoning it is amazing so delicious link in the description to it not quite cajun it's inspired by cajun but it ended up after the end of all the experimentation turning into a flavor all its own and then i have here some seasonings this was very good some subscribers sent me i used it this last summer and uh it was amazing so i want to try some of this again it's kind of a lighter more garlic kind of based seasoning then i'm going to flip all of these over and do the exact same thing to the other side [Music] hey bro yes just about we're just in time just about ready to go on the grill wow apparently dude look at that that's like that's a tray bro you know it might turn on the grill i should have had the grill fired up there brother what you doing here bro add me some good milk i thought i'd do it before it gets hot ah yeah adding the oil to the grill that's a trick i learned just recently actually yeah all right we're back in business here and we're gonna add our fish wow look at that yes yes so have you seasoned both sides oh yeah oh wow you were inside i was seasoning both sides wow let me drag this last piece through all that oil and seasoning there you go oh look at that oh man dude there's going to be a beast look at that wow slaying at the girl you're like one of those uh what is that japanese shiatsu quasimodo people whoa oh oh dude that's my meat bro dude that's my fish but we will get to that later yes we will dude dude apologize that's looking bad as well you should you know i will it took me like a minute to reel that thing in that's looking delicious i mean ladies gentlemen you could probably taste that through the camera if you've had striper before oh if you haven't go get yours go find some striper go find some striper do yourself and your taste buds a flavor and find some striper look at that okay casually no no it's still good it's still good i will fix it folks just for reference it was right down there now apparently the grill was that going to become like like a mashed potatoes here it's not fully cooked so i can i cannot are you molding this fish back into a fish oh my i'll let them finish cooking like that righty are we looking forward to be done oh oh my heavens dude fire in the hole oh man that looks really nice whoa well we got a bed of something here what is this we had a better rice and a better means my mom actually made that oh wow and uh mamas are the best yes so i did not make that she she was like i can make something that'll make you know to go with your fish wow and she did thank you mother there we go that's what i'm talking about dude your mom's so cool i know for some reason i thought it might burn guys but actually no nae nae no it looks absolutely like absolute perfection i'm always worried when i'm when i'm at the grill yeah me you know flinging meat off the grill and stuff no respect around here no respect that's called flame grilled right there wow okay it's really building yeah we're getting the holy cow go ahead and oh yeah these are two oh what happens yeah pull them off asa hey how what is happening oh my goodness this is true this is turning into yeah i got call the fire departments hey you jump in oh my goodness oh oh i got smoke right oh my goodness get out the s'mores it's weenie roasted time people careful hey so take us through the steps here what happened to create such a large flame do you know too much oil maybe maybe it was too much maybe doubling the oil on the meat and the grill yeah could have resulted in large flames yeah licking the tops of the roofs rooftops here all right well look at that we got it we got that that does look beautiful oh and then she said add some of this makes it real good oh what is that what is it it is uh some tortilla strips texas toast texas tortilla strips you just can't you can't beat that right there you have a little crispy in there oh my you got some texture all right oh my take it that's great thank you lord god for this food and your wonderful way you provided it and a good day fishing and i just appreciate this time together with my boys in christ amen all right all right wow oh man what you got what a big day it wasn't it wasn't it started off just like buckets of rain coming down then the wind picked up in the afternoon imagine if we would have kept all three stripes we would have way too much cheers here's gentlemen i'm gonna go great striper first oh that's pretty good what do you guys eat that's really good wow guys striper is one of the best tasting if you catch striper a lot of people just catch and release striper you're missing out yeah messed up bigly you know i usually like to have tartar sauce on my fish in fact for me sometimes tartar sauce is the or fish is the vehicle for tartar sauce but this here this is good all on its own oh man wow y'all did good i'm so glad well guys thank you so much for hanging out hope you guys enjoy we'll see in the next one [Music] [Music] let's see here we got a little path down this way oh look at mushrooms what are those i do not know what those are i'll have to get my brought my mushroom book with me um oh wait it's okay wait which way do i go let's try this one oh my goodness look more what are these wow they are everywhere oh this is so cool oh check it out look more mushrooms a waterfall a crystal clear creek wow what is going on guys oh i am in the appalachian mountains and i've just discovered a brand new creek here so i was out driving the other day by the way quick tip a lot of people ask me how do you find all these cool spots i spend hours driving around i find creeks on a map on literally a paper map and i'm like let's try it and so i'll go and i'll drive to creek x and i'll start hiking along it and a lot of times it's a bust but a lot of times i score and i certainly scored here at least i think i did but i'm in the mountains and i'm excited that there might be some wild mountain trout up here um let's see here i'm trying to what i'd like to do is fish the waterfall i've learned in my time here in the appalachian mountains that when you're going for trout if you can fish yep here we go if you can fish in the waterfall those are the best spots oh man this is this is cool i have to be careful not to slip on any of these rocks here but check this out this creek goes for miles um at least on the map and uh i don't see any reason at all why it wouldn't be loaded with wild mountain trout but i guess i'll have to see all right let's get my backpack out here i'm gonna show you guys something i brought a bunch of stuff with me because i wasn't sure what to expect so it was like well might as well pack everything so i've got something here i uh brought this fly box full of little flies there don't know if we'll get to all this stuff today but i've got uh certainly some flies in there this is actually i think my dad had a friend just like give this to him and we're not fly fishermen in our family so we've never really used any of these but i thought i'm gonna bring this this time then i have a whole bunch of little dry creek trout tubes just little micro extra soft one and a half inch tubes here and all these different colors some yellow ones there so might try some of those and then i have here some salmon eggs and then of course i also have some night crawlers and we'll probably and i know i'll start off with night crawlers here the thing i'm most excited about are these little tubes but i'm going to put those away just for the moment and we're going to use night crawlers just to like get an idea i guess of what's in here or if there's anything in here because it's not good to come to a brand new spot and be using brand new like experimental baits so let's drop a worm down first first cast of the day by the way i got one i got one guys oh my gosh oh shoot it was a rainbow son of a gun that was like second cast oh flipped it behind that rock i haven't done that yet let's see if there's anything back there got one got one behind the rock behind the rock what do we got a little rainbow first fish of the trip not a big gun but we don't expect to catch a ton of big ones here guys this is probably gonna be pretty much the average size now the question is do i keep one this small and i'm going no this is probably about a five incher beautiful little fish but let's wait for something just a little bit bigger that's what's always whoa hold up got a crawfish right here did he laugh yeah he's alive barely something must be wrong with him huh all right we'll set the trout there i just caught my first crawdad of the day it's like something is he's barely moving huh interesting you know what i might do folks i think i'm going to use this guy for bait yeah i'm gonna take the meat out of the shell sweet first crawfish of the day all right let's get this trout off the hook now that was cool it's funny how like everything's relative like if you're fishing a big trout lake there's no way you keep one that small but now that i'm fishing a tiny creek you know what i changed my mind i hooked him in the eye let's keep this one let's keep him anyway when you're fishing at a big trout lake of course you'd never keep one that big but when your micro stream fishing this is a pretty normal to keep one this size all right folks and just like that a little trout and a little crawfish in the bag all right ladies and gentlemen so crawfish some of the best bait out there it's like this one this one is sick or something so i'm gonna kill him real quick then we're just gonna twist the tail off all right just like so take the back fin off it leaves us with that little tiny chunk there we go and it's not much at all but it's the smell of it that that trout loves so much it's a little tiny piece of meat and this gives off a terrific smell in fact what you can even do is when you get a big crawdad you can take the meat out of the claws but this guy's not going to have enough claw meat for the effort i'm afraid yeah i'm just going to leave that let's see if i'm getting on that little chunk of crawfish crawfish going down got him got him on the crawdad on the crawfish yes another rainbow trout sweet excellent excellent and this is definitely a keeper size about a seven incher beautiful rainbow trout there gobbled up that little teeny tiny piece of crawfish it's just irresistible to them all right where's the bag all right there we go my friends to trout and i haven't even explored all the rest of this creek i was gonna work my way up all right folks now it is time to begin a little bit of experimentation one of the reasons why i wanted to come out here was to try all of these different tubes here i wanted to try some different colors of these micro tubes you see i have six different colors here i already know this one works for trout because i've caught this is called happy meal i've cut trout on this one before actually in old videos like three years ago this one haven't caught anything on it and then this is the natural series it's called more natural color these four here this is changeable craw which of course i love this color for bass fishing i've never really used these micro tubes for trout so i'm going to experiment around with some of these because we got to decide which one of these is going to go in the ace videos trout 2 box that we're working on this color and this color definitely are going in it and we're just see which ones make it make the cut kind of a thing so i'm gonna try this color here first it's called hair's ear hair like a like a rabbit hair's ear let's try it all right micro tube in a color i've never used before i'm going out are you kidding me i had one guys i have one already second cast with it all right my friends got a couple of trout here let's move on but before we move on let's see here now up here looks pretty good okay i was gonna go check the mushrooms you know let's check the mushrooms first and then i'll resume fishing check these out let's see here um they look kind of like a dirty mushroom yeah i don't huh they just look dirty all right i got a good mushroom bad mushroom book here it's not comprehensive but it uh it has a lot of them the common ones yep guys i don't i don't see this guy actually one way or the other if it's good or bad um yeah they look cool but i'm only eating what i absolutely know and can identify well my friends that first spot was pretty sweet and i'm just gonna pick my way up this river here and just look for more deep holes to fish or good looking little runs and also keeping an eye out for uh some crawdad spots look at that huge rock that's like a nine foot tall just giant piece of granite i guess i don't know broke off yeah okay there there's a log right here check it out guys yeah yeah that little that little corner right there that should be good yeah i'm gonna work my way around here and i'm gonna throw it in from this angle that way i'm kind of hidden from view oh got him got him in there oh shoot shoot there he is there he is wait he's right in here we got him almost he's under a rock he's under this rock hiding you know all right i'm gonna do something real quick let me kind of dam it up here where's my bag all right gotta run over here i gotta grab the red bag use it as kind of a net so i'm gonna put the red bag right here i'm gonna dam it up on this side and then i'm gonna try to chase him out of there hopefully he'll swim right in i gotta lift this rock up oh he did swim in i was like wait what all right so i caught him in the bag he he was so fast i didn't even see it i think he probably swam in with all these leaves and stuff that's why i didn't see him there he is check it out guys little rainbow trout that is so beautiful it's interesting how the the mountain ones are darker than rainbow trout you catch like in a lake so interesting it's like their sun tan all right i'm gonna let this guy go [Music] caught him on that little hare's ear tube that is super cool three bites on that so far whoa ladies and gentlemen because i was just walking check out this huge crawfish right there fast around here got him yes a big one guys for these small creeks that is a monster crawfish right there fantastic sweet it wasn't even under a rock i left some of the uh leaves and stuff in there so that i hoped it would kind of calm the crawdads down so all right two trout and a big eating crawfish just kind of foraging these streams guys i see the tips of the claws of a crawfish sticking out here [Music] guys i see a trout right there that might have been a brook trout kind of spooked him i don't think he's gonna fight this but i did see a trout got him got him yes on the tube i saw him swimming around it's a rainbow thought it was a brookie oh caught in the tree there oh that is cool that is so i for him i didn't realize he had all of a sudden i saw him like doing a little figure eight and i thought wait he must have the bait in his mouth if he's doing a figure eight like that on that tube folks the hare's ear is getting it done i think we'll add that to the ace videos trout box ah this is so cool there he goes all right you know what i'm gonna do i'm gonna switch colors and see about some of these other tubes here look at that it's called mocha stone let's give it a go got him he came up to the surface guys i took the split shot off and this trout came up to the surface and grabbed the tube the tube floats when there's no weight on it and i was like i wonder if like almost like a dry fly oh that is a beautiful trout wow look at the pink colors on that one that that like looks a little bit different wow that is so cool 100 wild trout in these creeks folks all right i actually want to keep one more but this trout is so beautiful i'm gonna let him go folks that was super unique because that was the first time i've ever used a soft plastic as like a dry fly the tube floats on the surface if i don't add a split shot and i thought you know i think trout would still go for this so i took this split shot off and just kind of twitched it on the surface and then the trout got it like that all right so i'm kind of behind hiding behind the big rock let's flip it in there got him got him same thing again folks the dry tube another rainbow a fun fun deal about the same size you know what should i keep this one yeah yep let's have three what a day folks i've only actually been out here a couple of hours and all of this stuff here what a beautiful trout this is that perfect medium size um where you see that little tube right there where i'm not harvesting like a big one out of here a 12 13 incher which would be big for this little creek it's right in the middle about seven inches or so so i'm gonna keep this one all right fish this spot out good scored a nice trout on to the next one check out this pool here i actually just scared a fish all the way in the corner there so this time i'm gonna crawfish hunt i'm gonna take the trout out and i'm gonna actually fillet the trout real quick not filet them i'm just gonna gut them they're too tiny to fillet and take them out here i'm gonna throw the guts around in the water and that should draw the crawdads out and i can just kind of pick them up i do not want to waste a bite of the delicate and delicious meat on these so i'm just gonna take the guts out and the gills all in one fell swoop there we go look at this pool here this looks good too um let's see here i'm just gonna throw it it doesn't almost look i see a trout swimming around almost doesn't matter where you throw it as long as it's in the vicinity oh you see them there's the trout goes it's like the crawdads just come out from wherever they're at because they smell it and they start searching around all right so all three trout are cleaned and this was something crazy folks look at this trout's eye the crawdad must have eaten it out while he was in the bag crawdads love to eat out the eyes of fish and the gills so i kind of grew some there but sweet a nice little catch of the day this beautiful creek do [Music] look at that big one man this creek has big crawfish too [Music] these are huge these are huge it's crazy to me how dark it's getting out here it's only like five o'clock but in the shadow of the mountain it's feeling really dark we can see sunshine at the top of the trees and it's like getting really chilly out right now that's cool let's cook yeah i'm gonna do folks it's like a table i was walking by and i was like this seems like a big table i'm gonna cook on this i was looking for a log or like somewhere cool to sit but it's like flat or flat ish right here and i can even fish one more spot in the creek if i want to but this is where i'm cooking sweet new model a new bottle mist get a little clear creek water got here some salt whoa whoa whoa oh forgot that it had that okay well um we got some salty water there well i'm just gonna actually cook the crawdads for just a minute or two and then throw them in with the stir-fry i've got some pre-chopped vegetables and i plan on cooking the vegetables the trout and the crawdad all together oh that water's boiling nicely look at these two they're monstrous look they think they're gonna climb out already oh no he's like that ain't that ain't it there we go ladies and gentlemen seriously this is it's been a while these are the biggest crawdads i've ever caught in appalachian mountains and you know what these seem like idaho crawdads like the species these seem like in my home home state of idaho that seems like the same species there we go i did not catch a small crawfish today all right three oh absolutely wild rainbow trout from the mountains and our crawfish here looking good that should be enough just to just four or five minutes on them they'll finish cooking i'm going to add a little sesame oil in with the butter and then the vegetables put a little soy sauce in there just kind of slip the trout right in just cooking it on a low heat i'm going to add a little garlic and herb seasoning so so i'm hungry okay first off i have to say that these are some of the most crawfish i've ever caught and i'm interested to see how they taste it's just a thick fat crawfish all right it peels very easily the shell is soft which is different if you guys have follow my channel closely i've been catching some of these appalachian crawfish and some of them the shell is super hard and it's no fun to try to eat them let me have to say the credits aren't very full it's kind of a small piece of meat for it but let's see how it tastes that's a really good crawdad the meat is different it's super soft all right so so watch this so this shell breaks really easily and there we go grab the bad stuff out there it's the most tender crawdad i've ever eaten it's delicious let's give these wild trout a taste okay that's an amazing trout i eat a lot of stock trout and there is a huge huge difference this has been such a cool day guys thank you so much for hanging out go out there and find your own adventures i mean watch this video i hope it inspires you find creeks and rivers around your place i do it all the time you just got to get out there and try it so wow thank you guys so much for hanging out i hope you guys enjoyed today's adventures i'll see in the next one yeah oh look how beautiful it is

yeah we're just gonna do a little beach fishing out on a little a family vacation and we're just gonna take a morning here throw out some lines because the tide's coming in got three fishing rods with me i always travel with fishing rods and uh just see what we can catch from the beach oh the sea looks pretty nice today all right folks first thing i'm doing is putting in some rod holders here yeah you found something oh some shells look at this all right look how calm it is dude look at this is just absolutely like this is a beautiful day nobody's out you're like alright guys let's see what happens yeah all right guys we're bait i'll show you what we got we just went to the marina we got two types of bait got some mullet frozen mullet and frozen squid will probably rig up a variety what do you think crockett look at that that's a little little squid is that cool [Music] yeah all right just cut off i think one with squid and two with mullet should be good i might steal do you mind if i steal a chunk of squish for the crab trap oh yeah no i don't in fact i'll just pop one out we'll throw it out there see if we can thanks sir all right all right folks we got three rods here that one we have a piece of squid that looks good yeah yeah a small piece of mullet cut mullet on that one and on the big one it's a 50 pound leader and we've got almost a whole mullet there i've cut out the bottom so the juices could kind of flow out in the water hopefully we get a shark or something on that one so sweet all right folks just waiting out here we're going to get to the second sand barks i want this one to be pretty far out there the the kind of shark one or big redfish or something like that you never know pretty shallow all the way out all right my friends all three lines are out just keep an eye now by the way you guys are new to my channel that's my brother there hi adventure videos and these are his two kids and his wife so that's everybody who's hanging out so you'll kind of see them throughout the morning and i have fishing rod duty so oh oh got one we got a fish yeah right by the shore that was cool guys we we casted just like a few feet from shore this might be oh is it a it's a little redfish no it's a big that's called a croaker it's good to eat we could eat them if we want that is the biggest one i've ever caught no joke normally they're like just six inches long or so wow guys what do you think that's pretty weak guys i caught him on a shrimp head there that is the biggest croaker i've ever caught or not a shrimp had a squid head sweet wow well we can eat it if we wanted yeah have a little fresh fish i'm down hey sounds good i should say guys whiting whiting some people call these i think south carolinians call these whiting depends on where you are in the country all right we'll take the net out yeah i think you found that shell yesterday a whiting bro or croaker is that a white yeah it depends on where you i think it's i think it's the same thing white and kroger it turns if you're in louisiana or south carolina i think that mistake look at that is that pretty guys look at that that's what a good like 13 inches probably i think it might be in the same family as a redfish it looks kind of like it i'm not i'm not familiar enough but that's cool all right boom oh yeah all right we got another fish already we got is there a size limit on these and there's no i think it's like 50 a day or something like that you wanna we could like whack the head off the lights up or we'll put them in the bucket you wanna put it in the bucket all right jeez oh it's cool is it croco touching oh all right there you go sweet all right that looks like good cut bait right there oh got him whoa we got something good whoa this is something you want to reel

you grab the tail and seize them and then um once we have the tail under control we flip him over like that oh yeah see how he's wiggling his tail he's trying to poke you yeah and then go get the pliers already and i'll hold the fishing rod if you want there we go all right chella you see that pokey thing right there on his tail see right there yeah that's the stinger that he'll get a bad

oh i thought it was something different the way it's running he's just laying on the bottom just like they did last time all right i'm gonna pull him inside this is crazy folks micah left and it's always something if something weird happens always when your fishing partner leaves and you're like oh man it was so awesome what happened and you're trying to describe it and he's like yeah cool sounds like it was amazing yep big stingray oh my goodness whoa whoa that was i don't know did you see my rod almost went in the water all right guys yep could i ask you to hold my fishing rod real quick i need two hands to to get him off the hook thank you sir that is so typical folks as soon as micah leaves like bam bam bam oh guys want to catch and cook one of these in a little bit look at that all right guys here we go stingray headed out all right my friends we are going to keep and eat this shark just lift it up it is an atlantic sharp nose and that is a good little eating size not they don't get super big but have some nice fillets on it but not be not be too much so ah excellent sweet well ladies and gentlemen what an action-packed morning good knit um got a shark now to eat i'm gonna head back to the uh to our place up there and let's get cooking on some shark kind of hard to sit back in a beach chair and fillet a shark it wasn't well thought through but it's what i got already my friends only the second time ever filleting a shark and uh it was a while back like almost almost a year ago i fellate a shark maybe maybe 10 months ago but uh let's give this a go all right so i'm going to start here you can see the gills actually what i'm going to do first is let's look at the teeth here his teeth actually better not stick my hand in there he is dead by the way his teeth snapped the line that's why he fell off there right on the beach that would be super cool to make a necklace out of shark teeth from a shark that you caught yourself i'm going to go in right behind the gills here just make a nice little cut cuts pretty easily the skin's a little bit thicker than your average fish but it cuts not too bad and then you know what folks before we go any further check this out i'm going to make some sharp shark nuggets we're going to fry up some shark nuggets i'm just going to cut them like that there you go nice little chunks of meat bam just like that beautiful little pieces just keep working my way down here trying not to waste any of the meat and then i've got this check it out that looks beautiful to me and we'll cut just nice chunks nice strip like that batter them up deep fried shark nugget how about that you know what i'm gonna do here folks check it out so that is the dorsal fin right there people talk about having shark fin soup and all that like i don't know anything about that but oh look yeah okay so you can get an idea ah there we go the the skin is definitely a little tough that has me questioned though about the shark fin soup there shark fin soup idea so we have the dorsal fin there's definitely some meat you know we'll do just for kicks since we're frying up anyway let's keep the dorsal fin and we'll bread this up and we'll just see what happens we might spit it out might throw it away but we'll uh we'll try frying the dorsal fin as well you know what while we're here actually so like see how big that much the head takes up i'm gonna see if there's any meat looks like there is right back here yeah check it out check out that medallion right there i just got to get the skin off of it oh 100 100 look at that chunk that is a beautiful chunk okay we're into that to the other side and then folks none of the shark is going to waste because we're going to try to use it for either crab bait or chum over the next few days sweet let's fry up some shark nuggets all righty my friends we're out here on the deck and uh micah is grilling up something fresh here got some chicken yes sir got some got some beer can chicken got some mediterranean herb chicken uh then we've got some uh southern tang barbecue sauce jim bean ribs going on here sweet uh with a small hint of kansas city inspired seasoning rub there nice basically just experimenting yeah yeah and it's all you know you've had these before so you know they're all good it's all good and i'm going to deep fry on this part of the grill folks you know let's make sure it works actually since we already this is weber seasoning team weber bro steve with weber all the way it is a lovely day folks and this plot is really nice you guys got the beach just right there you guys kind of see it within i shot of the beach it's fun to be way up here on the veranda and we have here our shark chunks folks about 15 minutes ago i put some lemon juice on just like let them soak in the lemon juice and uh we're going to open let's see here how am i going to do this no we're going to leave those in there and then folks as far as the fish fry breading mix goes i was debating see how doing beer batter but i'm actually just going to do this crispy stuff i'm going to make a nice pile of it there that should well maybe a little bit more i should take care of it if you hear a bunch of noise in the back that is uh my dad and mom playing with the grandkids downstairs and in the pool we're add some my first cat seasoning to this as usual it is delicious on everything but folks really the main the main oh we got some drama down below but um anyway the really the main thing i'm looking for is this caribbean jerk buffalo wild wings i'm really excited to try this make some buffalo wild wing shark nuggets basically all right there we go hey [Applause] hi hi crockett hi hi he just learned to say hi he's been saying hi to everybody that is cute and the final thing folks we have the fin we'll just toss it in there be experimental we'll see all righty take these over here set them on top of the hot grill not recommended [Music] oh yeah there we go there we go that is hot enough got some balling going i'm excited shark nuggets oh bro my my compliments to the chef thank you good sir i think those are looking pretty good i think we're going to hit them with one more uh one more rub down let it glaze over a little bit i think that's gonna be right as rain there's perfect by the way guys if you're new to my channel check out my brother's channel down in the description below like and subscribe comment share you know all that stuff all that stuff that nobody in 2021 knows how to do yeah exactly let's check on my stuff here oh looking i think it should be done just a few minutes in there should be good oh yeah oh look it's falling apart well there's our taste test there's our look the shark is cooked through ladies and gentlemen oh yes let's throw the weird shark fin in there just for kicks and we also have that one of the whiting that arabella caught that's a fillet of it right there so we're gonna throw that in there as well with the shark bella you want to try some of the fish you caught this morning we've got some fresh fish and we got shark uncles cooked up you want to eat some shark for a youtube video hey crockett you want to eat some shark hi you wanna eat some shark yeah yeah there we go all right it's a party so this is something interesting folks when i try to grab the fin the skin like stretches it's definitely not tough anymore it's so interesting like it's almost the way it stretches almost seems like it's edible yeah look i just broke through it so this skin which was tough i can pinch it with the tongs here and it pierces it so like the skin has become malleable and i'm assuming edible alrighty ladies and gentlemen we are about to taste test some shark let's move this a little closer actually we'll move you a little closer there there we go yeah and some of bella's fish bella can you say a prayer for us real quick before we start before we eat that piece right there a piece of fish is that the one you caught this morning or if you want to try a little piece of shark you can try a piece of shark you know i've actually never had shark before here should we cheers cheers cheers you're welcome you soak this in something lemon no i'm picking up that lemon juice dude a lot of lemon juice in there very lemony that's good though dude i need like salad i need some tartar sauce like it's a classic like fried fish i need like some tartar sauce or coleslaw with it that's good it is guys it's it's not a whole lot different than most ocean fish yeah that's not trying a little caribbean jerk i thought it'd be appropriate bella what do you think of the shark there you go pretty good pretty would you eat that again should we go catch some more yeah i think we got a head nod there she's eating it all i think she's enjoying it when your four-year-old's eating it all you know uh it's a win i think playing in the pool all day helps too yeah here's a fin a shark fin i'm just gonna try eating it the skin has become soft now it's if the skin was tough while i was flying it all right now it's up that don't look right to me but i mean it went from being like hard to poke the knife through it to him it just breaks apart dude that's good that's actually good like the fin is i'm not kidding the fin is good wow um i would offer you some but my mouth's been all over it dude you're good yeah no that's totally you're not feeling that adventurous the finger of high adventure hasn't gone up that high quite yet well who knew that the skin of the shark would be good that's good to know i would have never guessed that probably throwing the fin away yeah yeah that's i did the last time i threw all the fins away but guys you can like fry up the fins that's so interesting by the way bella has mowed through her second piece of shark now wow which one is bella's fish no there's one right here that's the fish you remember you reeling that in this one is that good i wanna try some white is really soft it breaks apart as well bro thank you man this is welcome you caught this of course right as i left maybe that's what needed to happen not that you're bad luck or anything i still i don't believe that but that's good my first ever shark taste i am glad you enjoy it bro cheers thank you bella cheers cheers bone guys thank you so much for hanging out hope

just that was worth it look at all the fish jumping that is so cool what is that bitten in hand or bitten had his tail bitten off some sort of oh yeah it's a big black drum oh crazy giant dead fish folks he got his tail bitten off by a shark probably wow his tail's bitten off right by a shark i'm guessing his tail is gone like bottom half of them is missing oh yeah whole bunch right on this point more dolphins right there i'm good with this [Music] let's try to again let's do it we've got porpoises out here we got dolphins i think those are the same thing i don't know fish on oh oh i had one still setting the hook like i'm in a bass tournament i need to slow it down these speckled trout have such soft mounds i'm not used to that i've slowed it down a little bit look on a little bit easier on him but i need to go easier still oh right in front of me there that's cool got him got a fish on no i don't i think he got off oh yeah i do i think it's just small it's just small a little trout not a keeper but oh when we got dolphin right there should i feed the dolphin the trap this trout's pretty docile i think he's kind of happy that he's out of the water with that dolphin around watch this all right guys let's just see let's just see i'm not saying nothing anything's gonna actually happen but when that dolphin pops up we're gonna toss this trout right in front of him oh he's going that way maybe we won't okay well i'll just let this trout go i thought it would be cool to kind of feed a trout to dolphin but i don't know where he went now here's a question are the dolphins good or are they bad see i was told they were bad because they scare away the fish but like this morning oh i got one got one it's uh they fish on the way you know there are trout in the area is the dolphins are there because the dolphins are feeding on them oh look at him right there oh that's so cool man this is amazing i feel like i'm in sea world out here i think this is a keeper too oh look i got two i didn't even realize it i've got two fish on it once that's a first for me hooking up with two speckled trout ones one little baby one and one big one oh really i don't know what a voodoo shrimp is but it's an artificial okay there we go oh guys look at all the dolphins here look at that look at look at this look they're just chasing everything around right here this is amazing this is this is just got him oh miss he got off it's funny that they have dolphins chasing him and they're still feeding look at that got him fish on oh feels like a decent one you got one too mr chris has one two guys doubled up here oh you know i think i think i had two on it once again because all of a sudden it got light there guys and i only have this little one on i definitely had two fish on it once again this guy's gonna be too small there you go don't get eaten buddy i bet we have like six or so around us guys right now that's kind of cool that is mechanical oh look at look at him jason you see the fish jumping ahead of the oh he went in for the kill right there i think he got something got him official oh that dolphins kind of hit a wrap for my fish hopefully you don't steal it off another little one i don't have a measurement on this rod what do you think maybe a little bit shallower it needs to be right above above this okay it should be all about the same my other ride i put a piece of a piece of blue tape on got him three and three oh he got off there's another one three and three casts folks there must be just a bottom i think these dolphins have them have them all pushed right here this is cool another little one though little really little one this is definitely a little bait for dolphin there don't get eaten buddy got him guys you see that four in a row four in a row either i've got two on or it's a nice one casts in a row and i've got a fish oh this one this one's gonna be close oh i got two on that's white velvet that is cool thank you sir do you ever have the dolphins come up and just take him right off your hook no i wouldn't putting that past him he closed he's very close put him in there he's above it all right sweet another keeper guys five in a row guys five in a row yeah i bet i got two on again all of a sudden it got way heavier this is amazing got two again two and two casts oh and the big one dropped off that was definitely a keeper it's probably 13 inches or so dang it left me with a little non-keeper five casts in a row though can we get six casts in a row got dolphins behind us now oh there was a bite come on got him six casts in a row six in a row and big dolphin feeding right here whoa it's a little intimidating being in the water with them if they weren't such nice creatures i definitely wouldn't be out here oh this one's gonna be close oh would he dropped off again dang well that's six in a row can we make it seven in a row let's see i'm cast in the exact same spot got him every time seven in a row let's see how long we can do this all right so my gopro ran out of battery so i'm still seven for seven so far i've uh put a new battery in let's see if we go eight for eight i told these folks here they could join us if they wanted to they were sitting on the golf cart watching and i think they've taken us up on it all right can i go eight for eight got him got him that's eight cats in a row eight fish oh this is a good one this is a good one can i get the net for this guy just so he doesn't that's a keeper yes all right we got a keeper folks yeah looking barely hooked i thought i saw it on the outside there we go there we go that's probably the biggest one of the day for me all right can we go nine for nine got him nine for nine folks nine four nine two of them again oh the little one fell off and this one's probably too little as well can we go 10 for 10. right there between us oh guys i might not go 10 for 10 takes it and throws it right toward the dolphin grabs it isn't that cool and like i said i think it was a mama teaching the baby how to hunt you see a little baby chill in there and i wondered as i was watching this if the mama was bringing back either dead fish or wounded fish for the baby to eat it was so cool to see this and then you see right there the fish activity is increasing getting bigger and bigger schools of speckled trout there and what's happening out on the other side of the jetty is there even more dolphins in speckled trout and i think the dolphins were driving in schools of speckled trout closer into shores we were fishing between the shore and the jetties and you just see the fish activity increasing greatly and after check out how the dolphins are just kind of waiting there you go release a fish i think she grabbed it again so the dolphins after a while stopped hunting the schools of fish around there and just waited for the fishermen to start releasing them this is just amazing and the little baby there just seems to be chilling like i said i wonder if the mamas were bringing food over here kind of like a mama bird does it was almost every cast they were catching you see a third dolphin pop up there take the fish off the hook and they were just throwing the fish out there again boom look the dolphin was waiting for it he hardly had to move how much fun then i flew the drone over to mr kirk and mr chris and you can see mr kirk is reeling in a trout here and the dolphins are right behind it right behind the trout but never once did they bite any of the fish we had on it's like they knew it was hooked and they knew that it was most likely coming toward them because we released like probably two-thirds of the fish we caught they were just undersized and the same thing here the dolphins were just getting bolder and bolder and uh and waiting for just chilling around us and waiting for the the discombobulated fish to come in there we go mr chris just threw in another one off and grabbed it i mean why hunt when you have fishermen just feeding you and again you see here look at the schools of fish being driven around them like i said there are way more dolphins big pods of dolphins actually on the other side of this jetty and then there were the ones that were kind of the smart ones really that were hanging around us and just feet feeding on the fish being thrown to them easy meals and look at the dolphins going right between them there after i let the dolphins looking right at mr kirk like you got anything got anything else they got so bold with us luke just coming up right to him like hey uh so what you got what you got for me and then it gets so bad at one point watch this so mr kirk is taking one off the hook and the dolphins hang around and he puts it in his basket and the dolphin's looking at him like uh is that is that for me and there's nothing i think the dolphin throws a fit it's like what the heck why was that not for me it was so cool what an unbelievable morning look there even fish right here and there's a needle fish there's a needlefish chasing them there's just all kinds of stuff going on out here that is pretty cool that's wow the guy's like that doll he knows it's like it's a dinner time oh wait this might be a keeper okay so one of the one of them you kept and i swear the dolphin threw a fit he sat there he sat there and he just streaked off and he was mad that you kept that one so you keep oh yeah oh they're gonna be mad now got one behind us i saw him on the drone there whole school of them just hanging out behind you too this one might be a keeper now these dolphins are start feeling entitled can i measure i don't have a measuring on mine yeah he'll keep he went over if nothing close enough got him um i saw him on the drone dude this is a good one this is a good one all right guys i got a good one oh yeah oh yeah this is a good one here oh i got two of them two of them at once guys look at that little one yeah and look he come he's coming around for supper yeah guys we didn't have to measure this one this is a good keep about 14 inches or so all right all right guys two keepers in two casts there are two keepers on one cast i mean he's right there yes he knew we had a couple fish then they do like tear off like they're mad they're mad we didn't feed them yeah right yeah just like that if you keep the fish guys it's like the dolphins are angry got him right by those rocks they're really stacked up right there this one either this is two or this is another good one oh oh one of them got off because allison got lighter i'm getting keepers yeah it's like the bigger ones are hiding in the rocks boy this is cool that's why they're big got one two guys it is it's almost every cast on the back side of these rocks it's good y'all should start a guide service fishing with dolphins you could you could charge big time look at look at that i got a little one here all right let's see what uh see look look at him right there guys you see him just right there all right we'll give them to you yeah we'll give them this is a little one you want them there are tons of fish around here because i don't want to chase mine anymore y'all just feed me okay all right guys let's do it [Applause] you're gonna swim over and grab it i don't think he did that fish may have that fish may have a little too sneaky for him that fish was pretty lively got him that's another good one they're like the all the big ones i swear right by the rocks there oh he just spit up something spit up a minnow another keeper guys oh you got two mr chris has to look at this guy he's like uh is that one for me or yeah i see like he's i could see his eye rotate down and look at me he's like checking it out that is me funny sir this is everything

the fish in the air that is crazy hey you wow this is better seriously you guys could have guided fishing with dolphins tours you could charge like a thousand bucks and people would pay it got a fish on guys let's see what size it is feels pretty small oh he's close oh yeah oh there it goes wait there goes there goes right there oh i think that the dolphin ate it as it was swimming away yeah look at it i'm telling you you could have louisiana wild dolphin guided fishing tours you're just part of nature we don't have them in cages we don't have them trained hey stop scaring me every once while they scare you because they come up so close what the oh he's excited he sees he got one chill chill buddy yeah he sees you have one yep yep that's that's exactly what he was waiting for he threw it almost right in his face he just had to open his mouth and grab it well guys we are headed back this was uh this was incredible incredible time out here and what a catch it's gonna be tasty all right guys we're at a little supermarket here i'm gonna go inside and buy some authentic louisiana seasonings and stuff for this fish so i can use it for this cook part also so i can take a little piece of louisiana home so let's see what they have hello how are you look at good what do we want oh spicy huh wow look at all this so many crab and shrimp things but i want some wow wee sauce i love this sauce you know i've never tried frying dill slices let's give it a go all righty my friends so i'm gonna grab a few of these specimens out of here appreciate you being my guide today mr homer that was fun we're gonna fillet up a few right now right this afternoon and cook them up louisiana style excellent six that should be perfect [Music] it's been a long time since i've used one of these probably the last time i used one of these actually when i came here [Applause] that knife is pretty slick i like that cut out this little bit of stuff there something like that that's it right there excellent appreciate it i got all the nice stuff here guys [Music] let me tell you folks that thing got this done in a hurry that's nice i would carry one of these around more but uh kind of hard to carry one of these around on a hiking trip in the mountains all right so we're not having a big fish fry this afternoon this is just going to be the sample and then the bigger fish fry will come later when more people come friends and family and stuff like that but for right now i'm gonna try to make a kind of a genuine louisiana meal here so we'll see how guys i've actually never seen this kind of louisiana kitchen fish fry just says season to taste on it so apparently this is mostly just like flour and cornmeal i guess i'm going to add some salt first because it has no added salt the tony sasher's straight out of baton rouge seasoning creole seasoning we're gonna add quite a bit of that to it nice mix it around a little bit there i think it needs some more there we go that should be good we're also going to make some fried pickles too so that should be delicious eventually just had to do the fingers you know get down with it but there you go nice little pile of fish then check this out mr homer got me all hooked up with his nifty little fryer here with fresh oil in it and i just set it like that it catches the cage it's like a miniature restaurant style deep fryer and we're just gonna set all those in there we just lower the basket right in there and oops maybe i overfilled it my first time using this thing so for this particular one i've used one of these before but not and we'll let these cook for like i don't know six minutes or something like that in the meantime let's bread the pickles how are we looking looking mighty fine i would say that's done oh can i do it folks there we go oh hey [Applause] there we go pile of fish done oh you almost escaped there little fella oh that looks and smells so good now let's put a couple pickles in there now this is the first time i've ever deep fried pickle spears instead of pickled chips and i thought this should be this should be just as good have a long nice spear like that put the lid on what do you think shushu what do you think do you like does that smell good i'll share something with you in a minute i'll let it cool down first i think shushu though kind of eats everything you're not picky are you you're not picky at all huh yeah you're not picky oh you remember me yeah don't be shy don't be shy yeah this is as big as shoe shoes gonna get every year i come here he's the same size little miniature dog a little sweetie too yeah you're a sweetie everybody loves you don't don't they and finally the fried pickles those those look amazing all right guys two things to keep in mind first of all this is just a sampling uh we figured that today we caught upwards of 50 keeper fish and we'll have a big fish fry but of course there'll be a whole bunch of people there and a lot of people don't want to be on camera and all that so they were nice enough they said why don't you fry up a few few fresh from the ocean so i did that the second thing i'm going to do is last time i came here a lot of people said how does uh speckled trout compared with rainbow trout which is what i'm used to eating and i'm gonna do that right now i'm gonna it's been you know a year since i've had speckled trout so i'm gonna sample some of this and give you guys an honest opinion whether i like speckled trout or rainbow trout better let's pray all right which is better and i'll be honest because i know i mean you guys i've eaten hundreds of rainbow trout before but if this is better i'll let y'all know i also got here some wowie dipping sauce put a sampling of that right on the fish wow we that's good here's the thing though they're both so different it doesn't even taste like trout it's so different there's really no comparison rainbow trout especially when you catch them in the mountains have such a unique flavor to them and speckled trout from the ocean totally opposite i'm not going to say whether i like one over the other because they're kind of in two totally different categories fried pickles fried pickles are good they're really good with wowie let's see if shushu wants something all right shushu do you like my cookie you like my cooking oh he's licking it he's licking it let's drop it on the ground how'd i do how'd i do no yo let's try something miss belinda was telling me he doesn't like stuff with crust on it all right here's a piece with with most of the crust taken off you like that hey [Music] i'll try not to take that one personally well guys i hope you guys enjoyed this epic day of fishing thank you guys so much for hanging out i'll see you in the next one [Music]
