Cajun Crawfish Boil in the Back of my Truck | Catch & Cook

all right well last night i slept at one of my favorite types of spots and that would be a quiet neighborhood the reason i like quiet neighborhoods so much is because there's not a lot of car traffic and you sleep like a little baby i haven't gotten done outdoors things in like four days and i'm feeling a little deprived back so kinked up and sitting too much so we're gonna go into uh the middle of utah today and try to find some crow cray craw how do they say it here we're gonna catch some crawfish and have a little crawfish boil on the back of the truck bed hopefully so right now i'm at the grocery store i'm gonna grab some groceries and then make the drive hopefully get some crowd addies all right groceries loaded now we have about a 30 minute drive we'll be in crowded country step on it jerry all right before we can go crawdad we need to go get one thing one last thing one of the most important things oh careful all right right now the wind is blowing super hard so thankfully i'm not going fly fishing in this little creek but i gotta look in the water and see if i can find some because this is the first rock area got a mountain dew in this beautiful little stream here howdy sir so here's the trap oh it's like spring loaded it's 10 bucks i don't know if this stream is deep enough for this dude there's no way i mean maybe i just don't feel good about this but we're all the way out here might as well try gotta find a spot for this thing now [Music] i better put a rock in there or something all right we're gonna try this i mean i'm not necessarily super excited about that but it is three in the afternoon and i don't have a bag in the water okay well at least we have a trap set no chance i think stays like that there's just no chance i'm not super confident in this spot honestly i'm kind of hungry right now better eat some food so foreign breakfast is served hmm we're good all right we just set the trap again cat food's going now i don't know what i don't know what we do because i don't know where to go is the thing all right moment of truth yeah absolutely nothing all right we gotta find these crayfish let's grow that each what do you guys think you think there's gonna be some in here i don't no no we did not wow so hype this is gonna be such a nice campsite dude i mean look at how gorgeous this is like a dream you're still not even going to pay attention to me huh can i touch your nose all right okay well the sun's going down uh i was planning on having a crawfish meal tonight but that's okay i have some chicken marinating right now and so i guess i'll just make some chicken quesadillas or something oh i like the meal prep so i'm probably just gonna cook all this stuff up right now well i don't think i'm gonna have room for all of it actually oh baby baby you're a wild horse [Music] so how's it going is this private property was it expensive it was probably you came through the gate oh it came oh that so that's on the that that other parts of the camping spot okay sorry i'll i'll go back over there after i'm finished cooking is that all right appreciate it sorry i didn't know so we're gonna turn it on in the wild okay but we'll let you go ahead and get done i appreciate it thank you so much all right now we need to hurry can't camp at this exact spot thankfully those guys were nice enough to let me finish up cooking i think this might be one of the best case studies i've ever made okay thinking a fire sounds pretty nice actually take advantage of this fire pit do foreign all right hopefully we can catch something in the morning i'm tired watch this face good night good morning mathmatic.com check them out also if you didn't know of course we've got the sprinklers going on right now so i'm not going to be able to uh go to my traps anytime soon i'm going to do the thing that i know how to do best and that's pick up trash there's really not that much trash on this side i am uh not confident in my spot so i'm running the town right now i'm gonna buy some crawdads come back to the campsite and check all the traps i mean hopefully i'm hoping that they're all full but [Music] no they're gone all right well they were sold out so onto the next one that lady had the audacity to be like oh well you could just go over to this lake they're everywhere in there just put a piece of ham on your line okay guess i should have gone there then [Music] i'm gonna do the crawfish i'm trying yeah i've been trying to catch him for the last two days thank you appreciate it have a good one it's been it's been three hours of sprinkling so i haven't still been able to go check i've been cleaning my truck vigorously uh this doesn't look that impressive but i basically took everything out of here made sure i still used it if i didn't throw it away or put it in a different bin i'm going a little crazy i want to see if those traps have crayfish in them i'm gonna go ahead and make some homemade traps quick i'll show you guys what you need to make a homemade one basically just a big water jug like this make sure it's got a big cone and i'm gonna go set these in some other holes that are further downstream take the cap off pop it in here and there's your redneck crayfish trap they swim into here you put the bait in there all right so we got our two traps dump our kitty cat hot dish into trap number two i stopped at a new pool this is actually looking pretty promising guys because look there you see him there's one sitting right there i see at least five only two are keepers but [Music] see him sticking his pincers out from running that rock oh yeah there's stuff in there eating for sure already all right it's been about an hour let's go check on the traps actually like two hours nope this one on another spot oh at least one three four in there it's not a whole lot but the ones that were in there are big i'll check the other one so we got four so far oh my god is that a fish one's a bullhead or a catfish no crayfish though see ya [Applause] really big one really big one really big one giant look at that crawfish look at this crap yep definitely glad i made the switch took a while to find them but we found them all right all right so i personally have never done a girlfish boil like this um i did one with my buddy ace a summer or two ago also i apologize in advance for the wind there's not really much i can do about that up here crawfish and shrimp oil in a bag so first we're gonna get some vegetables prepped and get them in there and then we're gonna add our crawfish and then apparently that's that been told that red potatoes specifically are what you're supposed to use for crawfish boils but what do i know i'm just a boy from minnesota midwest treat right here okay then we're going to cut one lemon and put it in there right now well and then of course we have to add this also i didn't believe in myself well i did believe in myself but i didn't think that i'd catch enough so i did get here's the bag of fresh cot here's our johnson i think you can also put shrimp and stuff here just taking out the i'm like deveining them like you would a shrimp so what you do is you fan out the tail like this you can see that there's this one in the middle that's where it's it's butthole is and either just grab it twist oh it's not a foolproof way but it works sometimes all right now they're going to go in there so i'm not gonna show that but that's this is the most humane way to kill them hot water oh boy oh my god my truck is a mess look at this mess of food dude we have store bought and then we have fresh cot all right and then you got a giant piece of craw meat interesting i'll give you that it was interesting it's like it's spicy but very subtly the corn spicy check that out the uh store-bought ones were pre-cooked when i got them so i kept them in a little too long i think with the other ones just because i was trying to make sure the other ones were cooked all the way through here's like probably the best one that i caught today let's see how white his underside is compared to like this guy i think this was the very blue one it's just very muddy and dark i don't know if that means they were about to molt or what but so i ended up catching eight i bought 20. that's about enough for a meal you guys have never had crawfish before i'd say it has the texture of a lobster but it doesn't really taste like a lobster what does it taste like it tastes similar to crab texture of a lobster tastes like a crab yeah that's what i'd say that one was good and spicy that was nice i'm sure people driving by right now can just see right in here actually i know they can just see a dude mowing some crayfish oh wow whoops there whoo greens all right guys well pretty much does it i'm gonna finish this up clean up this mess of a truck and get some z's because that was a long two days of trying to catch these things i guess not ever as easy as you think as always until next time just keep on trucking
